When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.
Chapter 16: The Donkey
It was still early and Shi Yi was not in a hurry to meet Shi Tou. She walked leisurely on the street full of vendors.
She really enjoyed the lively atmosphere here, which dispelled her worries about Yaoguang.
When I reached an intersection, I heard a girl crying, "Father, please! Don't sell Ah San to Butcher Zhang, it will be killed. Please, father..."
"Do you think I'm willing to part with it? But your grandma is sick and needs money to see a doctor and buy medicine. Now is a lean period, where can we get the money? If I don't sell it, I'll have to sell you."
The man looked at his daughter and couldn't bear to let her go.
"So I have no choice but to sell it. Besides, you take such good care of it, so I think you deserve it."
"Father, please find a good home for it. Don't sell it to the butcher..." the little girl begged pitifully.
The man was a little annoyed, "I listened to you and waited here for all this time. Your grandma needs money and we can't delay any longer." As he said that, the man pulled the reins hard, but the little girl tried to stop him.
It turns out that "Asan" is this little donkey! Shi Yi went up to the donkey to take a look.
It was obvious that the donkey was well-fed. It had a well-proportioned body, shiny fur, and a pair of dark, bright eyes that revealed a look of confusion and a hint of fear and panic.
The bridle on the donkey's head was made of a tassel woven with colorful ropes, and it swayed as the father and daughter fought over it.
Before he knew it, Shi Yi and the little donkey made eye contact. Then, this "Asan" stretched his head into Shi Yi's arms, which was not far away from him.
Hi! I never expected that one day I would be scammed by a donkey.
No surprise, no surprise!
Here, Shi Yi had not yet organized the words to communicate with the donkey, and denounced the donkey's illegal behavior of touching his chest.
The man was angry at his daughter's ignorance, so he tried to grab the reins with force, but he used too much force and threw his daughter out.
Shi Yi grabbed the girl and hugged her. The man, still in shock, let go of the reins and rushed to see his daughter.
The girl was very frightened, but still stubbornly pulled the reins.
Seeing this, the man slapped his thigh in anger and said hatefully: "Why are you so ignorant? Although you raised this beast, your grandmother is sick. Is your grandmother not as important as this donkey?" Can this be compared?
The girl murmured, "Grandma is not sick at all. She just wants Dad to sell Ah San so that she can give the money to my uncle's family. Just because my aunt gave birth to a boy, she wants to give all the good things to my uncle's family."
The man yelled in frustration, "Nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I heard it from grandma and uncle with my own ears. Dad is the only one who believes everything grandma says." The girl was also very excited.
"I know they have their eyes on Ah San, and he won't be saved sooner or later. I only ask you to find a family that loves Ah San, and don't listen to grandma and sell him to Zhang the butcher, okay?"
Shi Yi saw that the reins in the girl's hand were already red, and it was obvious that her hands were already rubbed raw. Even so, the girl did not loosen the reins at all.
Shi Yi was a little moved. No matter when, there will always be families that favor boys over girls.
But this girl dared to fight with her father for a donkey, and was not blindly obedient. Such a lively girl can live well at any time because she is transparent.
Even though she was not favored by her elders, she did not get discouraged. She would rather give all her love back to a donkey than beg for false affection.
Some people are so sincere that it makes you feel distressed.
Today she dared to fight for her beloved pet's chance of survival. No one will be able to control her life in the future. Such a courageous person deserves respect.
Shi Yi was willing to help this brave girl out, not to mention that it was fate that they met! This little donkey looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, Shi Yi interrupted the man who was about to run away and asked, "How much do you plan to sell this donkey for?"
The arguing father and daughter were both stunned. The man seemed to have just realized the situation. He moved his lips a few times but could not utter a complete sentence.
Instead, the girl's eyes lit up and she immediately replied, "Two taels of silver."
As if he was afraid that the noble lady in front of him would not buy, he kept introducing Ah San: "Miss, Ah San is very well behaved, he is not picky about eating grass, vegetable leaves and tree leaves are also fine.
Ah San is very strong, but don’t… don’t tire it out too much, it’s still young. When it grows up, it will be able to do more work.”
Feeling that this was a bit inappropriate, he quickly tried to make up for it: "Asan is very smart. He understands everything you say to him. Really! Give him some time, he will grow up soon."
The girl tried to hold back her tears and touched the donkey's ears reluctantly. The donkey Ah San rubbed the girl's hand with his head, and the girl finally couldn't hold back her tears.
The man wanted to comfort his daughter when he saw her crying, but he didn't know how to do so. After all, he knew how much his daughter cared about the donkey.
But the donkey had to be sold, otherwise his mother would not agree. He felt that he was in a dilemma.
In the end, he said nothing and looked at this noble person who suddenly appeared with hope. As long as she could buy the donkey, all the problems of his family would be solved.
Now I have money to pay for my mother’s medical treatment, and my daughter won’t suffer so much.
Shi Yi glanced at the man, then looked at the sad girl and the uneasy little donkey, and readily agreed.
"Okay, I'll give you two taels of silver and I'll buy this little guy." As he said that, he casually threw two taels of silver to the man.
While the man was busy taking the silver, Shi Yi took the reins handed over by the girl and stuffed a small piece of silver into the girl's hand.
The girl had tears on her face. She took a look at the hard object in her hand and looked at Shi Yi in surprise, not knowing what to do.
