After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Jiang Xiaohua nodded and said, "You are right, child brides are actually sold to others."

Xiao Miaomiao got up and stood on the kang, puffing up her cheeks angrily, looking extremely cute.

But she herself was seriously angry, "Miaomiao, don't sell it to others!"

"No one can do it!"

Jiang Xiaohua nodded secretly and asked calmly, "Why?"

Xiao Miaomiao said, "If you sell to others, you must listen to others in everything. Miaomiao doesn't want it!"

She paused and added, "Miaomiao still wants to keep an oolong, and others will definitely not let her."

"Miaomiao also doesn't want to be unable to see her mother, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and Mr. Li."

Jiang Xiaohua couldn't bear it anymore, hugged her little girl, and kissed her little face again and again.

"That's right! Although my daughter is young, her ambition is not small."

"I'm so happy for my mother! Oh, why are you so cute? Kiss me again!"

Xiao Miaomiao didn't understand why her mother suddenly hugged and kissed her like this.

She tilted her head and looked at Jiang Xiaohua in confusion, "Mother?"

Jiang Xiaohua recovered her senses from the cute attack and said with a smile, "Mom is praising you."

"We are all human beings, and there is nothing worse for us women than men."

"However, since we are born in this world where men are respected, it is not easy for women to live according to their own wishes and not be influenced by others."

Xiao Miaomiao's eyes were sparkling, as if they were filled with tiny stars.

"Then how can we do it? Mother, Miaomiao wants to know!"

Jiang Xiaohua looked into the little girl's eyes, her voice soft but firm.

"Only when girls make themselves strong and have the ability to support themselves can they stop being dependent on others for everything."

Xiao Miaomiao nodded vigorously and raised two pink and tender fists to encourage herself.

"Miao Miao needs to become stronger! Learn from my mother to keep fit! Learn culture from Mr. Li!"

"So good!" Jiang Xiaohua smiled and touched her head, feeling very satisfied with her goddaughter's success.

But her southern red agate carving was only a third of the way done.

She had to carve for a while before going to bed to catch up on the progress.

Jiang Xiaohua reluctantly let go of her little girl and picked up the agate stone and carving knife.

The four men, big and small, were all stunned by the conversation between the mother and daughter.

When the four little ones were in the village, they often heard the women in the village say, "Marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat."

It seems that it is normal for a woman to consider what kind of husband she will marry when she is fifteen years old or later.

Because everyone has been here for generations.

And Li Yuanzhi, a scholar, was even more familiar with etiquette and etiquette.

What about the Rule of Seven Outcomes, Women’s Virtue and Women’s Training, and various unwritten moral standards.

He never thought that a woman could support herself without being dependent on a man.

After experiencing a brief shock, Li Yuanzhi accepted this new thinking for him.

Because, hasn't he already seen such a woman with his own eyes?

Li Yuanzhi stared at Jiang Xiaohua quietly, with a warm smile in his eyes.

Jiang Xiaohua is such a woman, strong and independent.

Don't annihilate yourself to please anyone, and don't be attached to anyone.

She is herself.

And he also sincerely admires her like this.

Looking back, the three elder brothers actually supported Jiang Xiaohua's views.

Liu Guang laughed and said, "Yes, my sister is so cute, what stinky man in the world can match her!"

When he said this, he probably forgot that he was also a man.

"That's right," Liu Ming nodded, "How can my sister just flatter others, look up to others, and live her life based on her husband's face?"

Even the most conservative Liu Yong agreed, "If Miaomiao doesn't want to get married, what's the point of me raising her for the rest of my life?"

"Even if she wants to get married, we have to let her choose the one she likes the best!"

Jiang Xiaohua specifically put down her carving knife and applauded the speeches of the three boys.

"well said!"

Xiao Miaomiao lay on the kang, holding her cheeks with her hands, looking at this and that, with a sweet smile on her lips.

She had to get up early tomorrow, so Jiang Xiaohua arranged for the four little ones to lie down in a row.

The carving knife in her hand rubbed against the agate, making a mechanical sound, like a lullaby.

Just after he finished carving two or three strokes, he heard the sound of even breathing around him.

Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi looked at each other at the same time.

Jiang Xiaohua waved silently.

Li Yuanzhi quietly got off the bed and walked from the ground to Jiang Xiaohua.

He leaned over and sat on the edge of the Kang. Jiang Xiaohua moved a baggage beside him, revealing the crystal tripod underneath.

The oil lamp shines on the crystal tripod, and the luster of the shaved white crystal is surrounded by golden light.

Li Yuanzhi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and looked at Jiang Xiaohua in surprise.

Jiang Xiaohua pointed silently, indicating that he could pick it up and read it himself.

Li Yuanzhi carefully picked up the crystal tripod, weighed it, and looked at the oil lamp carefully for a while.

He whispered in a voice that was almost like blowing, "This thing looks a bit old."

"The black bird pattern carved on it was the most popular on the vessels of the previous dynasties."

Jiang Xiaohua suddenly nodded, it turned out that this was the black bird pattern.

She could only see that the lines looked like bird shapes, but she was not familiar with cultural relics and archeology.

So I can only place my hope on Li Yuanzhi, "Look at what's inside."

Li Yuanzhi glanced at Jiang Xiaohua, lowered his head, and carefully opened the lid.

It turned out to be four golden beans.

Each golden bean is about the size of a peanut and perfectly round.

As Li Yuanzhi's wrist shook slightly, the golden beans rolled around in the cauldron.

He picked up a golden bean and squeezed it. It was soft and dense, and the small one was very heavy.

It is indeed real gold and of high purity.

Li Yuanzhi looked at Jiang Xiaohua in surprise again.

Jiang Xiaohua said, "The small land plateau we saw when we entered the village that day."

"Maybe it was because this thing was a little bit exposed from the ground. I was blinded by a bright light in the woods, so I asked to go up and have a look."

"Then I dug it up under a willow tree."

She glanced at the children, made sure they were all asleep, and gently unpacked the bundles at hand.

He took a wrapped handkerchief from it, opened the slipknot on it, and spread it out.

Broken gold wire, chipped topaz pendant, crystal beads, jasper beads, pearls, carnelian...

Jiang Xiaohua said, "I cleaned up the area and found these again."

After seeing the crystal tripod, Li Yuanzhi was no longer surprised.

He looked at the things on the veil and said, "Look at the broken gold threads and these perforated beads."

"It's all bits and pieces."

"Someone should have buried the treasure there."

"When it was dug up again, it was inevitable that some of it would be damaged and scattered nearby."

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I think so too."

It is equivalent to rice leaking through other people's fingers. As a latecomer, she can gain something by sweeping the floor.
