Chapter 9 Selling Daughter

An elderly person with limited mobility would not be able to do everything by himself unless his family was in a really difficult situation.

Jing'er thought innocently, preconceivedly believing that Grandma Liu was just like her, having unspeakable grievances at home and a hard-working life.

"It's okay in other people's homes, but it's not okay in your home. First of all, your mother-in-law will be sad about it."

"Mother-in-law, she is friendly to others, is that...?"

"I won't tell you anymore, I won't listen to flattery!" Grandma Liu was angry. She saw that Jing'er was young and ignorant, and didn't understand people well, so she spoke politely to her.

Unexpectedly, I am another "die-hard fan" of Hu's!

Jing'er didn't know where she had offended Grandma Liu, so she took two steps to go back with Grandma Liu.

Outside the yard, Mr. Hu held a piece of sweet potato in his left hand and a piece of potato in his right hand. He smiled and asked Qing'er to come over and eat.

"Qing'er will eat potatoes, Ban'er will eat sweet potatoes?"

"...! When my sister comes back, ignore her."

For the sake of his sister Qing'er, Ban'er boldly ran up to Mr. Hu. Before he could hold his sister's hand, Mr. Hu had already grabbed him.

"You little brat, why are you ignoring me? Did your grandma teach you a bad lesson? As a human being, you must learn to be grateful. I have given you and your brother and sister a lot of good food, why should you repay me?"

"Rotten sweet potatoes or sprouted potatoes, who cares about eating them? Big liar, big liar, big liar!"

"you……!"

Ban'er twisted wildly and shook the sweet potato in Hu's hand without noticing it. When she stepped on it, the sweetness overflowed.

When Mrs. Hu saw that the good sweet potatoes were gone, she was so angry and annoyed that she could hardly suppress her anger.

How can a big kid know what a liar is like? It's obviously an adult teaching me behind my back, so it must be like this.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...?" Qing'er was still young. When she saw her brother and Mr. Hu wrestling together, she thought that Mr. Hu was beating her brother, so she stepped forward and hit Hu's forehead with a potato.

It's loud.

"Little one, do you still have the nerve to cry?"

Mrs. Hu has never been so angry before. She smiled sinisterly and wanted to arrest Qing'er.

"Big liar, don't touch my sister while I'm here!" Ban'er tried to scratch Hu's yellow face, but missed.

Qing'er didn't even look at it, so she used local materials, grabbed a handful of soil, and threw it into Hu's collar. She succeeded, and she clapped her hands with a smile.

Mud ran along the collar and dirty Hu's chest, making her even more irritable.

You little brat, you still dare to laugh?

Hu shook off Ban'er who was punching and kicking her, and wanted to catch Qing'er and teach her a lesson.

"stop!"

"Hey, grandma is back!" Madam Hu let go of the five or six-year-old Qing'er with a sneer, got up and walked to Grandma Liu.

He said directly: "Grandma, if a child is ignorant, he should be beaten or scolded, and he should not be soft-hearted. I know that you have relatives in your family who are difficult to reach, and I ask you to help connect them and decide life events for Yin'er."

"That's your daughter, not my daughter, I don't care about it!"

"You have eaten someone else's tongue and taken someone else's hands softly. If you don't help me, do you think I haven't done enough for you?"

"Fart, who wants to live up to your standards?"

Sure enough, even the things Hu took the initiative to deliver to his door were filled with bad intentions.

Ban'er hugged her grandma's legs and feet, gained confidence, and shouted: "If you don't leave, I will go to your door to shit every day. I will stink you to death, you are a big liar!"

"I'll go too... stinky stinky!" Qing'er pinched her nose, stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and stuck her butt at Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu, who was so angry for nothing, found Jing'er working on dinner in the kitchen when she got home, and stared at her with dead eyes.

The fire in the stove grew brighter and brighter, lighting up half of the kitchen.

Tonight, there are two dishes.

A dish of stir-fried radish slices and a dish of sour stir-fried cabbage are both hard vegetables that go well with rice.

Jing'er was busy stir-frying the radishes and looking at the fire on the stove from time to time. She remembered that the dishes holding the vegetables were not washed, so she was so busy that she looked at her mother-in-law behind her.

It's been half an hour, and the two of them haven't communicated at all.

Whether she was pouring oil into a hot pot, adding firewood or adding vegetables to the pot, she would do it all with great fear, fearing that she would make even the slightest mistake.

When it was time to go to the table to eat, Mrs. Hu looked like she had lost her appetite and said dejectedly: "Yin'er, there is no hope for Grandma Liu. If you want to find a better place to go, just tell us."

"mom?"

This is not a matter of suddenness or not, but a matter of Hu's attitude.

Obviously, Mrs. Hu did not think she could not defeat Grandma Liu, but her thinking had a fundamental change.

Tu Yin has already made plans to marry high and fly up a branch to become a phoenix. How many people will be envious and jealous?

Don't talk about far away, just talk about near.

My sister-in-law must also be jealous of her marrying well, right?

The "head of the family" Tu Cao glanced around majestically, and no one dared to say anything.

He asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"

"If our daughter marries close to her, we can still look after her and take care of her."

"That home...?"

"Have things not been good at home these past few years? My eldest son has married a wife of his own, so what else is difficult to do? When I married into your impoverished family, I was often looked down upon and shunned by others. Now our family is doing well.

If you don’t have to worry about food and clothing, why would you want to sell your daughter?”

Mrs. Hu burst into tears when she spoke, and her voice was full of accusations, and no one had the intention to refute.

The three words "selling my daughter" undoubtedly touched the pain in Jing'er's heart, causing her to burst into tears.

Wasn't she just sold by her family to the Tu family to become a wife?

"mom!"

Tu Yin couldn't bear it. If she was asked to choose someone from the village to marry, she might as well not marry!

The people in the village are all poor, with their backs turned to the sky, and their hands and feet are constantly working in the fields, barely trying to get enough food and clothing, so what's the use?

In her opinion, there is not much difference between the so-called maternal help and whether it is present or not.

"Let's just say I married to the village chief's house. How can you help me if Aunt Ma makes me angry like you did to your sister-in-law? I've thought about it. Marry someone else. After that, whether you live or die, it will be up to you.

It doesn't matter!"

Tu Yin dropped the words and became sulky. He threw his bowl and left without eating.

Mrs. Hu, who was so reprimanded by her daughter that she couldn't get off the stage, pretended that nothing was wrong, picked up carrots and cabbage, and chewed them loudly.

Only Jing'er noticed that her mother-in-law's hands were shaking slightly, which was very unnatural.

When it comes to getting married, my sister-in-law, who is highly valued by her family at home, has such a sad voice, let alone her?

In this late autumn season, night comes quickly and goes slowly.

Jing'er lay on the kang and turned over and over, her sister-in-law's words echoing over and over again in her mind, and she couldn't calm down.

"If you want to sleep, go to sleep. If you don't want to sleep, go to bed."

"...!"

The man was so disturbed that he couldn't sleep. He turned over and hugged Jing'er's waist, whispering in her ear.

Although the words don't sound good, they are very true.

Jing'er opened the man's big hand and slipped out of bed to give him a quiet place to sleep.

Two "squeaking" sounds came from outside, which seemed to be from the direction of the house where Tu Yin lived.

What was she doing out there as a young girl in the middle of the night?
