Chapter 29, Selling oneself to bury the father

Mrs. Li led Yan Zhiqiang to meet the tenants of Zhuangzi, and after learning about Zhuangzi's situation, the group set off for the county seat.

After this, this Zhuangzi was left to Yan Zhiqiang to take care of.

On the carriage, Daohua sat next to the old lady Yan and said, "Grandma, Zhuangzi is so big, and my third uncle must be too busy alone. We will help him when we plant next spring."

"I think you want to come out and play!" Mrs. Yan clicked on Daohua's forehead and glanced at Mrs. Li with a smile. If you can come out, ask your mother to go."

Daohua immediately looked at Mrs. Li.

Looking at her daughter's bright eyes, Mrs. Li smiled. She also knew that her daughter was a little bit off after getting along these days, but this is not Yanjiacun, and she can't help her temper.

Although their family is not an aristocratic family, the female relatives do not have to strictly abide by the rules of not going out of the door, and they can’t go out at will.

These days, because she had just arrived in the county seat, she was especially indulged in running around. When it was possible, the rules that should be followed had to be established, otherwise the other people in the family would have opinions.

Ms. Li thought for a while and smiled: "Your father is very important to your studies. Your third sister is now reading the Analects. As the eldest sister, you can't be left behind."

Daohua immediately said: "The Analects, I have also read it."

Ms. Li was taken aback, her expression was a little surprised: "Daohua has also begun to learn the Analects?"

At this time, the old lady Yan interjected with a smile: "You girl has a good memory. San Shugong sighed at me several times, saying that Daohua would be good if he was a man. That way, our family might be able to get another Jinshi. ."

Mrs. Li was really taken aback: "Is Sanshu Gong so optimistic about Daohua?"

The old lady Yan had a face with You Rongyan: "That is, do you remember the grandson of the patriarch? He is several years older than Daohua, and his study progress can't keep up with our Daohua."

Seeing the proud lady Yan, Daohua felt a little embarrassed.

The reason why she reads fast is not because she is clever. She has an adult soul and is naturally calmer and able to sit still than a child. In addition, where is the nine-year compulsory education after all, it can’t be compared to ancient children. ?

However, in this life, her memory is really good. Not to mention never forgetting, many things can be remembered by looking at them three or four times.

She thinks that this is probably because of eating the high-quality food produced in the space.

The food grown in the space is of good quality and rich in nutrients. After eating, the body will develop better.

Yan family, whether it is the old lady, Yan Wentao, Yan Wenhui, eat more food in the space, the body will be much better than ordinary people.

Just like the third aunt Wu, who was in the wind and sun in his hometown, standing with Mrs. Li and Sun, it should be more vicissitudes of life, but because he ate the things in the space, whether it’s skin or body. , Not at all losing to these two pampered wives.

Sun's family has secretly asked Wu's several times in private, and asked her how to maintain it. Unfortunately, Wu didn't know it himself, only that he had never taken care of it.

In this regard, Sun's face was disbelief. It was not that she had never seen the village women. She only felt that Wu's family was like them in the countryside and did not do any farm work at all.

All the way after ??, Mrs. Yan has been boasting about how smart Daohua is, and she has been praised so much. If it were not for the wrong sex, she almost said that she was a Wenquxing star, and Daohua blushed.

But, Mrs. Li didn't feel wrong at all, she listened with a smile on her face, and would echo a few words from time to time.

It’s really a one who dares to speak and one who dares to listen.

Half an hour later, Daohua was covering her head in a daze, when she suddenly heard San Shu said that the gate of the city had arrived.

For this, Daohua was very relieved.

finally arrived, and when she listened, she would feel that the person mentioned by the old lady Yan was not her.

But when the carriage came to a stop at the gate of the city.

"Hey, why aren't you leaving?"

Daohua raised the curtain of the car, and found that a lot of people gathered around the city gate, blocking the road a little.

Waiting for a while, before the carriage left, Daohua couldn't help but lift the curtain again. Who knows, Yan Wentao opened the curtain first from the outside.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Yan Wentao: "Someone in front of me was selling my father to bury my father, blocking the way. Dad asked me to come over and talk to my grandmother and elder aunt. We may have to wait a while before we can enter the city."

Upon hearing this, Daohua’s eyes suddenly burst into an astonishing light: “Selling oneself to bury the father!!” This kind of plot is often seen in novels and TV. I did not expect to see the live version today.

Daohua looked at Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li eagerly: "Grandma, mother, I want to go down and have a look."

Ms. Li wanted to refuse, but her daughter looked expectant, and she couldn't speak her words, so she looked at Mrs. Yan.

The old lady Yan has always known Daohua’s temperament, knowing that if she is not allowed to get out of the car today, she probably will have to grind them for a long time, so she said: "Don't cause trouble, just look outside."

Inahana immediately promised: "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble." After speaking, she got out of the car numbly.

Seeing this, the old lady Yan shook her head: "I don't know who this girl's temperament resembles?"

Li's demure and dignified, the boss is also restrained and prudent, how did you give birth to such a free girl?

Ms. Li smiled and said, "Master said, Daohua's temperament is very much like her when she was young."

The old lady Yan recalled how she looked when she was young, and she was immediately happy: "Don't tell me, that girl is indeed like me."

Outside the carriage, Daohua pulled Yan Wentao into the crowd.

"There is more than one who sells his body to bury his father?"

At this moment, on the side of the road outside the city gate, there were three corpses, all of which were simply covered with straw.

In front of the corpse, three little girls aged fifteen and sixteen were kneeling.

Taohua took a close look at the three little girls, and found that one of them was very good-looking, with big watery eyes, and she looked very pitiful because of the death of her relatives and tears in her eyes.

The other two looks are very ordinary. One of them is even skinny and scary.

The onlookers around, some expressed sympathy, some simply watched the excitement, and very few came forward to buy people.

It’s not easy for everyone these days. Unless the family is relatively wealthy, who will buy people at this time?

Inahana glanced at the people around her, and found that many men were looking at the good-looking girl, and several young boys even stepped forward to comfort the girl.

Not long after, a young man dressed as a scholar stepped forward and gave the girl a dime: "Girl, go and bury your father."

The girl raised her head to look at the scholar, but did not receive the money.

Seeing this, the scholar immediately said: "I don't want you to sell yourself, you just have the silver."

The girl shook her head, bit her lip and said nothing.

The stubborn look made the men around him look distressed.

Yan Wentao was anxious for her: "Why doesn't she collect the cash?"

Daohua smiled and said, "It may be that the scholar is not the girl's target." The scholar does not dress like a rich person, and the girl may not look down on it.

"Huh?" Yan Wentao didn't understand, and was about to ask. At this moment, a young man in Jinyi was surrounded by others and walked over.

Young Master Jin Yi just stood still, the girl who did not accept scholarship suddenly raised her head weepingly, and looked at Young Master Jin Yi pitifully.

Seeing the girl’s face clearly, a glimmer of surprise flashed in the eyes of Young Master Jin Yi, and then he smiled softly: "Your father, Lord Ben, buried you."

After hearing this, the girl shed tears of gratitude: "Thank you, son, the little girl has nothing to do with her, but she can only repay her son with her body."

Hearing this, Daohua showed such an expression as expected.

"It turns out that the girl is after the rich man!"

Yan Wentao also reacted at this time.

Not only him, the others around him also suddenly realized.

Looking at the girl who followed the young master Jinyi, the scholar was ashamed and stunned.

At this moment, another girl spoke up.

"Please do well, my son, I can cook, I can cut firewood, I can plant the land, and I can do everything. I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the son."

The scholar glanced at the girl, dropped the silver, turned and left the crowd.

The girl picked up the silver, knocked three heads one after another, and said loudly: "Father is buried, I will go to serve the son immediately." After finishing speaking, the refugees around you are asked to carry her father to the burial.

On the scene, only the skinny girl was left.

"It's all poor people!"

Daohua sighed, because the road was much smoother because of the two men who sold their bodies to bury their fathers, the carriage of the Yan family drove over, and Yan Zhiqiang asked the two to get in.

Just when Daohua turned around, the girl suddenly raised her head, as if she had a lot of courage, and said in a hoarse voice, "I beg the girl to buy me."
