The general's mansion is down and out?It doesn't matter, madam will make a move

Chapter 40 Methods
But do you really do nothing and watch women get sold?
Su Jian's heart trembled, she seemed unable to do it again.

"Go and ask that man, if there is any bamboo at home that you can sell to me." Su Jian told Zhang Da.

"Yes."

"Xu Momo find a way to help me stop the man who wants to take the woman away." If the woman's husband sold the bamboo and had money, he might not sell his wife.

Xu Memo nodded, she would do as Su Jian ordered.

Not long after, Zhang Da brought the woman's man to Su Jian.

When a man saw Zhang Da, he knew that Zhang Da was not from Xiashan Village. People in Xiashan Village couldn't eat enough all the year round, and there were not many strong men.When he saw Su Jian and the carriage next to Su Jian again, he decided that Su Jian was not someone he could provoke.

"My lord."

Su Jian really looked down on men who sell their wives. As long as a man has temperament and ability, he can't sell his wife even if he sells himself: "Is there any bamboo? The bigger ones, the smallest ones are as thick as my wrist. "

"Yes, yes, if you want bamboo, you can chop it."

"How to sell?"

"No money, no money, give it to the nobleman."

Su Jian frowned, and the disgust in her heart increased. She looked at the man patiently: "Why don't you want money? If you sell the bamboo for money, you can redeem your wife, and your son will not lose his mother."

The man hugged the white face in his arms tightly, refusing to answer Su Jian's words.

Su Jian saw the man's reaction in her eyes, and her heart was full of disappointment. This man didn't want to get his wife back.

A living person, a person who is by his side day and night, is not worth three catties of flour.

Oh, irony!

"Ma'am, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Seeing Su Jian's ugly face, especially Su Jian's eyes were full of compassion as she kept looking at the direction where the woman was being taken away, Xu Memo couldn't help but let out a voice of relief.

There was a momentary impulse in Su Jian's heart, she still wanted to save that woman!But a lot of people around watched... No one helped to speak, but showed covetous expressions towards them.

Su Jian lowered her eyes, and secretly told herself in her heart that this is an ancient time without human rights, and nothing can be changed by her own strength alone.

Submit?do you accept?
After a while, Su Jian raised her head and looked at the sky. Although there were guards by Zhang Da and others, the people here did not dare to be presumptuous, but... she looked around... and there were quite a few dodging eyes.

She was familiar with that look.

It was like the way others looked at her when she was eating meat in the General's Mansion; but it was different, there was no malice in the eyes of the people in the General's Mansion, and even a little awe.And these, the people in Xiashan Village did not.

"If madam wants to save that woman, I'll send someone to bring her back." Seeing that Su Jian was silent, Zhang Da suggested.

"No."

Before Su Jian could speak, she heard Xu Memo's voice. She looked at Xu Memo and only heard:
"Just now, the slaves went to stop the buyer. I heard from the buyer that children and maids are being bought and sold almost every day in this mountain village. Women are worthless. The reason why they started selling women is because there are almost no maids."

Su Jian's complexion changed, and her pupils flinched uncontrollably.

"It's easy for Madam to help one person, but there are so many people...if they all ask for it again." Xu Memo glanced at Zhang Da, then lowered his head to Su Jian and said: "Although the servants also begged to be taken in by the general, they thought that they would be taken in by the general." They are all good people, but the people in Xiashan Village are different. Because of poverty, no one knows whether their roots are good or bad, if they are all taken in..."

"What Xu said is right." Su Jian completely calmed down, she would not take in so many people, and if she took them in, she would be responsible for them.As far as the current stage is concerned, she doesn't have the ability to forcefully be responsible to them. Even if she stays awake, she may not be able to create a good future for them.

Moreover.

They have hands and feet, so why should she be in charge of their lives?

"Da Zhang, take someone to tell them that we harvest grown bamboo, but only for children, and we only harvest bamboo sent by women, and depending on the size and the degree of regulation, it costs two to five cents a tree."

Zhang Da was taken aback when he heard the words, but in an instant he figured out Su Jian's intentions. Su Jian did this to help people in the mountain village see the value of children and women, and prevent them from selling them at a low price.

After Su Jian gave her orders, she turned around and got into the carriage. She had a very bad impression of Xiashan Village, and she no longer had the idea of ​​picking and buying bamboo herself.Leave everything to Zhang Da.

"Sister-in-law, I'll give you candy."

Zhan Lei has been observing Su Jian, and found that Su Jian has been very unhappy since he got into the carriage, so he quickly took out his treasured maltose, which melted a little, but was still sweet.

Hearing Zhan Lei's voice, Su Jian forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, pulled the corners of her lips and reached out to rub Zhan Lei's head: "Is this maltose the one I bought for you last time?"

"It's true that Madam bought it for the young master. The young master likes it very much but is reluctant to eat it, so he always takes it with him very cherished, even if he looks at it, he eats it." Xu Memo said.

Su Jian glanced at Xu Momo, and picked up the maltose in Zhan Lei's hand: "Xiao Lei, open your mouth."

"what……"

Su Jian saw that Zhan Lei opened his mouth and put the maltose into Zhan Lei's mouth, looking at his surprised and joyful eyes, her depressed mood eased a little: "Xiao Lei eats, I am happy."

"Sister-in-law is happy, and Xiaolei is also happy." Zhan Lei hugged Su Jian tightly, and his sister-in-law really treated him very well, very well!

"If you want to eat candy, or want to eat something else, just tell your sister-in-law, she can satisfy you, so you don't need to save it."

"Yeah." Zhan Zhan looked at Su Jian with eyes full of stars, and kept nodding, his smile getting bigger and bigger.

Xu Meme looked at Su Jian and Zhan Lei who were standing next to each other, a light flashed in his cloudy eyes.At the beginning, her idea of ​​letting Zhan Lei get close to Su Jian was not wrong. She just wanted to make life easier for Zhan Lei, but now it seems that the result is better than she expected. If there is a chance in the future, she can let Zhan Lei go to school again If you study, you will have no regrets.

Su Jian hugged Zhan Lei, her eyes lingered on Xu Memo for a while.After getting along with her for a short time today, she felt that Xu Memo was not an easy person.Xu Memo is very logical in his speech and actions, such an outstanding person does not know if Zhan Zhan knows, if he knows, he will put Xu Memo next to Zhan Lei, maybe Zhan Zhan does not pay as much attention to Zhan Lei as she thinks; But if you don't know, it can only prove that Zhan Zhan has a very poor vision and no sense of people.
