Butcher Zhao is not stupid after all. Zhou Ning is too young, flat from front to back, and tasteless.

So Butcher Zhao looked at Granny Li again and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? This baby hasn't grown up yet. I don't want him."

Before he finished speaking, Butcher Zhao saw Zhou Rou from the Zhou family. Zhou Rou was two years older than Zhou Wan. He originally wanted to keep her to marry into a good family. With the help of two sisters Zhou Wan and Zhou Ning, Zhou Rou usually didn't have to do any housework, but she looked pretty and beautiful.

Zhou Rou was disgusted by the look in Butcher Zhao's eyes and ran into the house without thinking.

In fact, Li Pozi didn't want to give Zhou Rou to Butcher Zhao. After all, if she married her to a family in the town, there would be many benefits in the future. But now...

When Wang saw the look in Li's eyes, she knew that she was thinking of marrying her daughter off.

Although Wang was mean to others, she was very kind to her daughter and son. She hurriedly said to her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, Rou can't marry him. A few days ago, a matchmaker came to our house to propose a match. Mr. Shang from the town fell in love with our Rou."

Mrs. Li was half-believing and half-doubting: "Really?"

Wang Shi was not really sure, but for now she could only nod and say, "It is absolutely true. The matchmaker said that if the two of them meet a few more times, it will be done. Then will the twenty taels be a problem?"

Butcher Zhao watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly discussing, and he became angry and said, "So you Zhou family are going to break the contract, right?"

Mrs. Li made up her mind and said, "We will compensate you with twenty taels."

Zhou Sanlang was immediately unhappy and said, "Mom, I don't even need ten taels to get married, and you want to take twenty taels just for such a money-loser."

Wang didn't dare to say anything and followed Mrs. Li into the house to get the silver.

"Mom, what should I do about getting married?" Zhou Sanlang pulled Mrs. Li who was about to leave.

Zhou Youfu said, "Let your mother go get it. If you dare to stop me, I'll break your legs."

Zhou Youfu felt that losing money was better than selling his granddaughter's reputation.

He is just like that. He wants a good reputation even if he is a complete rottenness.

Even if no one recognizes this "good reputation".

Mrs. Li did not let Wang follow her into the house, but went in by herself.

After a while, until Butcher Zhao was almost losing his patience, Mrs. Li finally came out.

A small blue square handkerchief, wrapped in three layers inside and out, only then were the small pieces of silver revealed.

Butcher Zhao had borrowed a scale earlier, and the weight was just over eighteen taels.

"Not enough." Butcher Zhao said coldly.

Mrs. Li also became impatient and said, "You have already made a net profit of eight taels, enough for you to marry several wives."

Butcher Zhao said, "It's none of your business whether I find several wives or not. Now you owe me money and you broke the contract. It's clearly written in black and white on the paper. You have to compensate me twenty taels of silver for breaking the contract, including the principal and interest." As he said that, he took out the paper.

Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't say anything, Butcher Zhao put the paper in his arms and said, "In this case, I don't want the silver anymore. I can take my wife away myself."

Butcher Zhao was about to force his way into Zhou's house.

"Oh, hey, hey, you, you wait, I'll give it to you." Seeing that her daughter was about to be abducted, Wang took out a silver hairpin from somewhere.

There was a delicate and tiny lotus engraved on the silver hairpin, which was very beautiful.

Seeing the hairpin, Zhou Wan said to Zhou Ning in a trembling voice, "See? That was our mother's only dowry, and it was swallowed up by these vicious women."

Zhou Ning looked at Zhou Wan. Although she couldn't empathize with her, she comforted her, "Sister, I will get this hairpin back."

But now is not the time.

Butcher Zhao weighed the hairpin and looked at the Zhou family. Although he did not marry a wife, he got ten taels of silver for free and left with satisfaction.

The Shen family also left with Zhou Ning and Zhou Wan.

It was already evening, and Zhou Wan insisted on returning to the hut.

In fact, the village is quite safe. Even a tough guy like Zhao the Butcher wouldn't dare to break into other people's houses at night, as he would be sentenced severely.

Zhou Wan has been in a depressed mood since she came back, and even when Shen You came to deliver her food, she responded weakly.

Zhou Ning brought the meal to Zhou Wan and said, "Sister, you are fulfilling the enemy's wish and hurting your loved ones. You must not hurt yourself no matter what."

There was no candlelight in the room, only the last bit of light from the setting sun that was trying to be sent into the room.

Zhou Wan shook her head and said, "I actually went to Aunt Fatty's house today to borrow some needlework to embroider some things to sell, but I didn't expect that they would force me to follow that butcher."

"Sister, they are bullying us by taking advantage of their power."

"I know that my elder sister has always protected me. If it weren't for my elder sister, I wouldn't be alive today."

"Sister, aren't you going to marry Brother Shen now? You will have a good life."

Hearing Brother Shen, Zhou Wan shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Little Aning, this is not how I could ever dream of being your sister.

But in the end she said nothing, just took the food from Zhou Ning and ate it.

Accompanied by tiny stars, Zhou Ning had a good dream all night.

Day two.

Zhou Wan didn't fall asleep at all. She got up early, went to the river to fetch water, and boiled a pot of hot water.

Zhou Ning was choked by the smoke.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Zhou Ning looked at the water-boiling device and touched the bed where she slept. It was really strange.

Zhou Ningwen asked: "Sister, this thing can heat water? Why is the kang not hot?"

Zhou Wan asked in confusion: "What is a kang?"

Before Zhou Ning could explain, Shen You rushed in and said, "A Ning, why aren't you well yet? You have to go."

Zhou Ning quickly said yes, and said to Zhou Wan: "Sister, I forgot to tell you that I have to go to the town today."

Zhou Wan said, "Wait a minute, I'll go too."

Zhou Wan put out the fire and the three of them hurried out.

On the ox cart, Shen You's family, Zhou Wan, Zhou Ning and her headless snake were neatly arranged.

Zhou Ning noticed that there was actually a young man here with delicate features.

Bai Zhao bowed and said, "Thank you both ladies for rescuing me yesterday. I am Bai Zhao. If I can be of any use to you in the future, I will do my best to help you."

Zhou Ning felt sad in his heart, how could anyone know who saved him even though he was poisoned like that?

But I didn't look closely yesterday. He is not a little boy. He is almost 1.7 meters tall.

Zhou Ning asked, "How old are you?"

Bai Zhao said, "Twelve."

twelve!

He must have grown up taking hormones.

Zhou Ning was devastated and stopped talking.

Without further ado, they got into the car.

The ox cart was shaking a lot and Zhou Ning was prone to motion sickness. He didn't expect to feel motion sickness after traveling through time.

It really made the overnight meal come out.

Zhou Ning pressed a few acupoints and finally managed to stop vomiting.

Liu Qingxiu smiled and said, "I've wanted to ask you for a long time, Ning girl, where did you learn this medical skill? I didn't even know you knew medical skills before."

Zhou Ning was about to talk nonsense when he vomited again.

Zhou Wan continued, "Our mother knows some medical skills."

Liu Qingxiu knew that she had touched upon the two sisters' sorrow, so she did not say anything more.

Zhou Ning and Shen You looked at each other. Now it was fine. There was no need to find any nonsense excuses.
