Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

In the afternoon, Li Yunshan and Qin An helped at the breeding farm, and it was already evening when they returned.

Su Qiang carried the dug wild vegetables, and Su Yong carried firewood.

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Why are you here today?"

Su Tong smiled and said, "I will come to work when the store is closed."

Mao Xiaosui: "Remember to buy firewood for the winter in advance."

Li Yunshan, who gave bonuses to everyone in the breeding farm last time, also gave each of them five taels.

Two or three taels of firewood are enough for a year's winter, and they still have a lot left over.

Su Yong nodded, "We will buy it when the weather gets colder."

Some of the fish in the bucket were caught by Su Yong. He didn't ask for more, only took two and left.

They separated from Qin An and went home directly. Across the road, they saw Li Xiuping, who had come back before them, being pestered in the middle of the road.

Just by looking at the back, Mao Xiaosui knew that the man was Li Xiuping's ex-husband Yin Hao.

Yin Hao held Li Xiuping's hand, but Li Xiuping couldn't let go...

I can't hear clearly what the noise is about, but I guess it's not a good thing.

Wangwang shouted at Yin Hao, and both of them looked over.

Yin Hao never let go. Li Xiuping shook her hand hard and said to Mao Xiaosui, "Please pass by the paper shop and help me find my brother and the others..."

Yin Hao shouted excitedly, "Xiuping, you can't be so heartless..."

Li Xiuping was impatient, "I used to be blind and blind, and the suffering I suffered was all my own fault, but let me tell you Yin Hao, if you dare to tease me again, don't blame our Li family for being rude..."

"Li Xiuping..." Yin Hao shouted.

Li Xiuping: "You Yin Hao, if you don't want to care about your face, just shout. The town is so big. No one knows what you Yin Hao is. The most embarrassing thing in my life, Li Xiuping, is to marry a man like you, but I have a clear conscience." …”

These words made Mao Xiaosui want to applaud her.

Li Yunshan pulled her forward and said, "Stop looking."

Mao Xiaosui smiled sheepishly and said something to the Li family inside when passing by the paper-making shop.

The third son of the Li family walked away in a hurry, carrying a stick.

Mao Xiaosui thought to himself that Yin Hao, the coward, would get a beating. In the past, they were worried about Li Xiuping, but now the Li family's anger really has to be vented on the Yin family. She felt quite happy when she thought of this.

In the evening, Li Ankang wants fish soup noodles, and Li Ruyi wants steamed eggs.

Mao Xiaosui responded one by one and urged the two of them to go back to the house to write while she and Li Yunshan went to the kitchen to work.

—

The town suddenly became lively in the morning. When I was buying meat, I heard them talking about killing people.

Mao Xiaosui asked the meat stall owner, "Who killed the person?"

"There was a widow in the town who killed her mother-in-law and her whole family, even the dogs. When people in the alley woke up in the morning, there was blood all over the walls and courtyard of that family. The smell of red wine... the widow also cut her neck to death. Already…”

"One man killed a whole family?" Mao Xiaosui wondered, "Poisoned?"

"It was poisoned, but not poisoned to death. He climbed in from the wall in the middle of the night and killed him." The stall owner said "tsk tsk" twice. "I would say it's retribution..."

At this time, the meat buyer Dumao Xiaosui didn't ask any more questions, and he and Li Yunshan bought the goods and hurried back to the store.

Li Ruyi didn't know what he was talking about, which made the old lady laugh. Mao Xiaosui looked at the candied haws in her hand and asked, "Hasn't all your money been spent?"

Li Ruyi leaned into the old lady's arms, and her meaning was obvious: My grandma bought it.

The old lady touched Li Ruyi's head with a doting look on her face.

Mao Xiaosui reminded her, "You are changing your teeth. If you eat too much sugar, your teeth will hurt."

The old lady also said, "Your mother is right."

Li Yunshan was helpless, "I know what Xiao Sui said is right but you won't change it."

The old lady responded with a smile, "I won't buy sweets for her anymore. I'll buy preserved fruits and snacks for her."

Mao Xiaosui suspected that the old lady suddenly discovered that Qin An's wages were quite high, so she didn't feel bad about spending her own wages.

Three yuan a month is almost one yuan for Li Ruyi and Li Ankang, and she doesn't buy anything for herself.

Mao Xiaosui poked Li Ruyi's head and said, "Spent your grandma's money."

The old lady waved her hand, "I just love giving her flowers. I'm an old lady and I don't need money."

Mao Xiaosui knew that the old lady loved the child, so he didn't say anything and went to the backyard to get busy.

During lunch, many guests were talking about the widow killing someone.

Su Yong came back with an empty plate and skewers that needed to be cleaned. He frowned and said, "There are rumors today about the widow killing someone..."

Several people looked at him.

There were guests shouting outside, and Su Yong hurried out after saying "It's the Qian Widow".

The atmosphere in the backyard became eerily quiet. Li Yunshan reminded Qin An, "I'm confused."

Qin An said "Oh", "Isn't Widow Qian married?" Su Yong specifically inquired after Xu Xiaohong came last time and found out that Widow Qian was married to the countryside, which was quite far away from the town.

Mao Xiaosui was also curious, so he went to the front with the barbecue and asked the people who were talking enthusiastically, "Wasn't the widow you are talking about married off by her husband's family?"

"Who says it's not?" The woman who answered her said angrily, "If you want me to say that these family members have ended up like this, it's all their own fault. The life of a widow with that money is already hard enough, and that family also sold her eldest daughter to Well, with this money, a widow can live by guarding her little girl, but this beast of a family did something like this again... If you ask me to die, it's all retribution..."

The guests started scolding each other, and Mao Xiaosui asked again, "What about Xu Xiaohong?"

"I heard it scared me crazy, but I didn't see it either..."

Mao Xiaosui said, "You guys eat well and drink well" and went back to the backyard.

The old lady hurriedly asked, "Are you the Qian Widow?"

Mao Xiaosui nodded, "Widow Qian's appearance has given Xu Xiaohong a chance to survive. Either she's trying to be a human being, but the rabbit bites people when it's anxious. The Xu family really brought it upon themselves..."

The old lady sighed, "The Xu family can't live without money, but the widow, mother and daughter can't survive. This is fine, Xu Xiaohong doesn't have to suffer anymore..."

There may not be a big event in the town for decades, but the incident of Widow Qian has been talked about for a long time.

Most of them sympathized with Widow Qian and her daughter and angrily criticized the Xu family for their wickedness. There were also some old ladies and men who thought Widow Qian deserved to die.

Just when everyone thought Xu Xiaohong's good days were coming, she appeared in ragged clothes at the vegetable market begging.

When Mao Xiaosui and Li Yunshan were buying meat in the morning, they saw her squatting in the vegetable market, holding a cracked bowl in her hand, staring at the passers-by and whispering, "Okay... give me some money."

That person was really dirty. Mao Xiaosui discovered such a person at the beginning but did not recognize it as Xu Xiaohong. She only found out after Li Yunshan reminded her.

Xu Xiaohong begged feebly, but unfortunately, people passing by just looked at her, and no one was willing to give alms.

Mao Xiaosui walked over and asked her, "Why are you begging?"

Xu Xiaohong stared at her, not sure if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Xu Xiaohong's gaze was uncomfortable, a little dull, but also a little bit resentful.

Just when she wanted to study it, Xu Xiaohong lowered her head and whispered, "Hungry."

"Where is the Xu family's food and money?"

Xu Xiaohong: "They robbed everything."

"them?"

Xu Xiaohong nodded, "Many people, they entered Xu's house to grab things, and even beat me..."

Mao Xiaosui rolled up her sleeves, and there were indeed bruises on her arms from being pinched and beaten.

Or they say human nature is ugly, even if Xu Xiaohong is so pitiful, they won't let her go.

Mao Xiaosui asked her, "Where do you live now?"

Xu Xiaohong shook his head.

Li Yunshan went to buy some steamed buns for her, and Xu Xiaohong took them and ate them hungrily.

Mao Xiaosui remembered that Widow Xu's house belonged to her man, and the people in that alley were generally quite nice. She suggested, "Why don't you go back to the yard where you were before and don't go back to the Xu family."

Xu Xiaohong: "Sold by the Xu family."

Mao Xiaosui thought that this family was really good at what they did, and gave her a piece of silver, "You will have to grow up after your mother is gone. If anyone dares to steal your things in the future, just cry and shout... No matter what you do, you have to let yourself go." Survive.”

Xu Xiaohong took the money, stared at her, and asked, "Can you adopt me now that the Xu family is dead? Just like you adopted Su Yong and the others."

Li Yunshan couldn't help but frown at the look in this man's eyes and his words.

Mao Xiaosui stared at her hand holding the silver and shook his head, "You can live a good life in the future." She was about to leave but turned around, "You can blame your father or your mother for the suffering you suffered, but you The ones who deserve the most blame are the cruel Xu family. If others are willing to help you, it’s a kindness, but if they don’t, it’s common sense. After all, they don’t owe you..."

Li Yunshan frowned until he left the vegetable market.

Mao Xiaosui pinched his fingers and said with a smile, "Don't be angry. Many people are like this and like to blame others for their misfortunes."

"Then you give her back the money." Li Yunshan was confused. After all, based on his understanding of Mao Xiaosui for so many years, this was not something she would do.

She will choose to help a poor and kind-hearted person, but she will never help a person who has a grudge against her.

Mao Xiaosui sighed, "Because she is too young. She may not understand why she is so miserable. She cannot understand why we didn't save her even though we could have saved her. She is afraid and resentful..."

"We are not her people, so we don't have to be responsible for her future. This is just for helping her, so we can just be a good deed."

After hearing her words, Li Yunshan stopped worrying about the scrap of silver, and his pity for Xu Xiaohong became much lighter.
