Chapter 48
When everyone in the prime minister's mansion saw Shangguan Ming in a servant's uniform and Zhou Yunxuan with panda eyes, everyone lowered their heads and pretended not to see it.

Shangguan Ming went straight to Zhou Yunxuan's courtyard and drank tea leisurely. He didn't care about Zhou Yunxuan, whose face was full of resentment. After a cup of tea, Shangguan Ming said leisurely: "She is my savior, what should I say? You should know what to say, or my fist will teach you." After speaking, he gave Zhou Yunxuan a cold look.

This brother deserves a beating.

Zhou Yunxuan was dumbfounded by the word "savior". When Shangguan Ming, who is so scheming and martial arts, actually had a savior, and she was also a village girl with no strength to restrain a chicken. This thing is too unbelievable .

After a while, Zhou Yunxuan still believed it, because Shangguan Ming would not lie, at least not to him.

Wen Xin, who was wandering on the street, suddenly heard a familiar voice in front of her. Seeing that there were still many people around, Wen Xin managed to squeeze past.

"Let me tell you, I'll give you three more days. If you don't pay back the 300 taels, I'll break your legs and hands." After that, the man kicked Wen Qingfu who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. .

Seeing that it was Wen Qingfu, Wen Xin hurriedly hid behind others, afraid that Wen Qingfu would see her.

God, 300 taels of silver, where does their family have 300 taels of silver, it's a mess now.

What Wen Xin was most worried about was whether Wen Qingfu would sell her and Wen Le to raise money. She was only ten years old, and it was only natural for parents to sell their children in ancient times.

Watching Wen Qingfu dragging his injured leg and leaving cursingly, Wen Xin quietly followed behind him, listening to Wen Qingfu muttering as he walked alone, what could he get for 30 taels if he sold her and Wen Le, and what could Wen Shengwenshu get? More than ten taels.

When Wen Xin heard that Wen Qingfu had set his mind on the second uncle, he wanted to sell the second uncle to a wealthy family as a slave, and even Wen Huaifu did not let him go.

Hearing this, Wen Xin felt a raging fire in her chest. If she made Wen Qingfu's plan come true, then her previous life would be in vain.

Wen Xin also forgot about shopping, hurried home, wandered around and found that Wen Xifu was not there, and hurried up the mountain again, she was too young to do so much, now she could only recruit her second uncle as an ally.

Went to the mountain where the second uncle often went to cut firewood, and sure enough, he saw the second uncle and the second aunt. When he saw the second uncle, Wen Xin suddenly burst into tears.

Wen Xifu and Chen Tao saw Wen Xin, then looked at Wen Xin's appearance, put down their tools and rushed to Wen Xin's side.

"Xin girl, what's the matter with you, did something happen at home?" From fleeing famine to now, he really has never seen Wen Xin so sad.

Wen Xin's eyes were red, and she knelt on the ground with a plop. "Second uncle and second aunt, please help me and my sister. My father owes the casino 300 taels of silver. He said he would sell us and everyone in the family to be slaves. Second uncle, please help us." .”

Hearing that Wen Qingfu owed 300 taels of silver, Wen Xifu and Chen Tao were a little silly. They had never seen 300 taels of silver in their entire lives, and they never thought that they could have anything to do with 300 taels of silver.

Chen Tao panicked and quickly pulled Wen Xin up. "Xin girl, you can't talk nonsense about this matter. No matter how bad your father is, he won't sell everyone in the family."

In fact, Chen Tao was worried that Wen Desheng loved Wen Qingfu so much, if it was true, they might really be betrayed.

"Second aunt, how dare I talk nonsense about such a big matter. Today I went to the city and saw with my own eyes that they beat daddy and injured his leg. I followed daddy quietly and heard him muttering to He sold everyone in the family, even my elder brother, he plans to sell." Wen Xin wiped away her tears, every word cut Wen Xifu and Chen Tao's hearts like a knife.

If Wen Qingfu could really sell his son, why would he care about their brotherhood.

"Xin girl, don't worry, the second uncle will never let your father mess around." After Wen Xifu finished speaking, he was ready to go home and ask Wen Qingfu to settle the score. If he dared to sell his daughter, he would drag Wen Qingfu even if he died. Qingfu.

"Stop, it's not like you don't know how partial father is to elder brother. As long as father admits that he sold us, what can you do? Shouldn't you go to elder brother to settle accounts now, or think of a way to see if you can escape this disaster. "Chen Tao's hands were trembling as he spoke, but he still held on, forcing himself to calm down.

Hearing Chen Tao's words, Wen Xifu stopped suddenly, yes, father valued elder brother so much, and always favored elder brother since childhood, if he really indulged elder brother to sell them, what could he do.

"Second Auntie, I have an idea." After Wen Xin finished speaking, Chen Tao and Wen Xifu hurried over, and after a while Wen Xifu said, "Is this going to be bad?"

At this time, Chen Tao suddenly bent down, picked up the hatchet from the ground and threw it in front of Wen Xifu. "Either you hack me and my daughter to death, or you can do as you say, and you won't be disobedient to your parents in the future. Do you really want our family to be slaves?"

In the end, Wen Xifu decided to do as Wen Xin said, before going down the mountain, he said to Wen Xin: "Xin girl, don't worry, I will definitely put you and Wen Le under my account, and won't let your father betray you. "

"Thank you, Uncle, I really don't know what to do without you, so I can only bring Wen Le around to beg for food. It's better to beg for food than to be beaten to death. Then Wu Qing was beaten to death, and she hasn't sold herself yet. They were all beaten to death, and if we sell ourselves, we will be tortured." Wen Xin cried while talking.

Wen Xifu was even more determined to get things done, he couldn't let his daughter follow in Wu Qing's footsteps, even if he got a reputation for being unfilial.

Wen Xifu went down the mountain, Wen Xin and Chen Tao were arranging the chopped firewood while weeping, and now they couldn't let the family see anything, they pretended to be nonchalant and returned home.

When she saw the injured Wen Qingfu, Chen Tao's heart became cold. Before that, she still had a little fantasy, hoping that Wen Xin was wrong. Now her heart is colder than the weather outside.

Wen Qingfu didn't say that he owed money when he returned home, which made Wen Xin heave a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that Wen Qingfu would make things worse when he came back.

After eating, Wen Qingfu dragged his injured leg and went out regardless of Wen Desheng's obstruction. He wanted to borrow money from Li Wenli. Even if he sold all his family members, he still couldn't get together 300 taels of silver.

Wen Xifu didn't eat any food and hurried to find the village head, and then brought the village head back when Wen Xin said that Wen Qingfu was not at home in the afternoon. Wen Desheng saw the village head as soon as he entered the door, and hurried forward to greet him.

"Brother Wen, you are too unkind. You didn't tell me the inside information, but you really decided to divide your household registration. Although you can get ten taels of silver for nothing, Huaifu is not married yet. Do you really want to divide your family? .” While the village chief was speaking, Wen Xifu’s body collapsed.

Wen Desheng was shocked by the ten taels of silver and the separation of the family. He couldn't understand a word of the ten taels of silver and the separation of the family.

"Grandpa, it's like this. Today I went to the city, and I passed by a big family and heard their servants talking, saying that the court is going to issue new regulations, and a household registration needs to subsidize five taels of silver. Only refugees can get this money. I just asked my second uncle to go to the village head. If our family splits up, we will have an extra household registration, which will give us more money. I also heard from the family member that if a family has no sons to send them to the elderly, they need to be subsidized. Only if there are five daughters, it's a pity that the second uncle can't take the five taels of silver, otherwise our family will have an extra ten taels."
