Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Seeing how his elder brother was protecting his younger sister, Lin He felt pity. He let them into the house first and poured hot water.

I haven't cooked yet, and I have nothing to eat, so I simply grabbed a handful of dried mutton that I made yesterday.

"Eat something, drink some water, and then tell us about your situation."

Both brothers and sisters couldn't help swallowing the full aroma of the meat, but they didn't fight over it. The elder brother tried his best to look away from the jerky.

"Thank you Mrs. Li."

Then he took a small piece of jerky to his younger sister. The younger sister didn't speak, but bent down to Lin He.

Lin He was slightly surprised, and suddenly asked, "Your sister can't speak?"

The elder brother looked sad for a moment: "Well, my sister used to be able to talk, but she was frightened and stopped talking."

Lin He was a little surprised. What kind of fright would make people speechless?
At this moment, the two were at the stone table in the corner of the yard. Lin He motioned the siblings to sit down: "What are your names, let me tell you about your situation first."

The elder brother had obviously inquired about the Li family, and knew that the family had a more friendly personality, so he didn't talk too much at the moment, and pulled his younger sister to sit down respectfully opposite Lin He.

"Mrs. Li, we don't have a name. My grandparents keep calling me Gouwazi, and my sister is a loser."

Lin He frowned, being a beggar for a while, grandparents for a while, this situation sounds quite complicated.

Fortunately, the elder brother didn't hesitate much, and continued to explain.

"Our mother was beaten to death by my father after drinking alcohol when we were two or three years old. No one wants to marry my father again. Grandpa and grandma think that we have hurt my father."

"My father likes to drink, and loves to go to brothels. He doesn't make money, and asks the family for money every day. My mother was beaten to death because she had no money to give to my father. My grandparents were also often beaten."

"Later, my younger sister grew up. Last year, when Chinese New Year was approaching, my grandparents said they would take my younger sister to the town to buy new clothes. They never bought clothes for my younger sister!"

When my brother said this, he was very angry, and his eyes were full of hatred.

Lin He also somewhat guessed the follow-up.

Thinking of the children in my own family, the eldest is also about the same age as this child. Although he was not well taken care of by his grandparents when he was young, compared to the brothers and sisters, he is already enjoying it.

At least, there were no bruises on their brothers.

Lin He's eyes fell on his sister's uncovered arm. Many scars left traces. Although the scabs had fallen off, the traces were still there.

Seemingly aware of Lin He's gaze, the younger sister, who was nibbling at the jerky, retracted her arms uncomfortably, and tugged at her very short sleeves, trying to cover the marks on her arms.

Lin He didn't look any further, and motioned for his brother to continue.

The elder brother is also considered calm, knowing that this is not the time to complain about the situation at home, he has to finish talking about his own situation first, and try to let himself and his sister stay.

"I felt something was wrong at the time, so I followed secretly. As a result, my grandparents took my sister to the prostitution hall in the town. When they were about to sign the contract, I injured someone and ran away with my sister."

After saying this, the elder brother suddenly knelt down beside Lin He again: "Mrs. Li, please, please take us in. We will just work in the fields, and we will not change our minds."

The younger sister was taken aback by her brother's sudden reaction. Although she was puzzled, she still knelt down beside her brother.

Lin He didn't rush to agree, nor did he rush to get them up, but just looked at his sister: "You said that my sister lost her voice from fright, so what's going on?"

Speaking of this, the younger sister's face turned pale, and her whole body was trembling, and she involuntarily moved closer to her brother.

Lin He could see that her younger sister was afraid of talking about such things, but there were some things she had to figure out, so she couldn't stay in a daze.

The elder brother was a little embarrassed, but he still held his sister's wrist tightly with one hand, trying to calm down and explain.

"When my grandparents were about to sell my sister, an old prostitute was next to me and touched her. My sister was frightened at that moment, crying and screaming all the time. After I ran away with her, she suddenly became speechless."

Lin He was startled, and suddenly regretted asking this question, which was equivalent to tearing up the scar at that time again.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the younger sister who was closer to him, let her sit on the stool, and took another piece of dried mutton and put it in her hand.

My brother still knelt and did not get up.

"Which town are you from? How far is your home from Nanzhi County? If you stay here, if your grandparents come to take you away, I won't be able to stop you."

There is a sad situation where human traffickers violate the law by abducting and trafficking human beings, but it is not illegal for parents to sell their children and daughters. Even those with low moral sense can sell their wives!
Whether it is sold as a slave or handmaiden, or sold to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, it is all legal.

The elder brother is quite smart, and when he heard Lin He's words, he knew that he had hope of staying, his eyes lit up, and he even straightened his back.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Li, my grandparents are in Pingyu County, which is far away from Nanzhi County. In order to avoid them, I took my sister and fled for more than two months before coming to Nanzhi County."

In other words, as long as they don't go back, it will be difficult for grandparents to find them.

"More than two months? How did you come here for more than two months?"

The elder brother was taken aback, his eyes dodged a little, but he still hesitated and said: "I, after I took my sister to escape, I went back secretly once, took, stole some money hidden by my grandparents."

Afraid of Lin He's misunderstanding, he quickly looked up at Lin He: "Just this time, I want to take my sister away, but if I don't have money, I will starve to death soon. I swear, I will never do such a thing in the future!"

Lin He was not angry: "It's okay, it's better for you to go home and take your own money than to steal someone else's."

At least, that's what happened for a reason.

"There is another question. You just said that if you can't find a place to stay, what's the matter with being arrested and sent to the kiln?"

Now that he has escaped from his original family, no one is qualified to sell his sister, no, there is one more person.

Lin He looked at the elder brother in front of him. If there was one person who could sell his sister, it would be this elder brother.

But since the elder brother brought his younger sister to ask for a living, he would naturally not be that kind of person. If so, how could he be caught in the brothel?
The elder brother's expression was instantly sad: "It's the other beggars in the county. My sister and I are foreigners and have taken over their territory. I heard them discussing last night that they want to sell my sister. As long as they knock me out and let me put my fingerprint on the contract of sale, no one will pursue it."

Lin He: "..."

She knows that people have good and evil, but she didn't expect that sometimes people's bottom line is so low!
