Crossing the Splendid Farmhouse

Chapter 14 Rejection
"Meizi, why do your aunts and uncles sell chestnuts? Chestnuts are not their daughters? Besides, your aunts and uncles don't have daughters..."

Most of the people in Lishan Village are straightforward, and they usually talk about what they think.

They obviously didn't believe Tang Meier's words.

However, it is obviously not good for them to directly ask Tang Yue and Tang Wei of the Wu family for verification of this kind of thing.So, they turned around and asked Tang Meier.

"I don't know why they sold the third sister. The aunts and uncles probably...probably don't want their cousins ​​to marry the foolish young master. The third sister said that the foolish young master will beat people..."

Tang Meier spoke anxiously.

After all, she was still a little girl over five years old, how could she think clearly about such a complicated issue.However, her poor family life made her mature very precociously at a young age.

She subconsciously felt that her aunt and uncle must be reluctant to part with their own daughter.Just like she couldn't bear to part with her third sister...

It has to be said that her answer was unexpectedly approved by all the villagers of Lishan Village.

"Sin! My own daughter is a treasure, while other people's daughters are just grass..."

"I bet, even if they sell chestnuts, Tang Laoer and his wife will definitely not get a single piece of money for selling chestnuts..."

"The second couple are usually too honest, so they can't even protect their own children..."

The old house is a big yard surrounded by several families.

Besides, the old house has a large flat, and there is a channel beside the road, in which there is often clear well water flowing.After working in the fields, most people like to wash their hands and feet in the channel in front of the old house before returning to Beijing.

Now is the time for people who are busy in the field to go home for dinner. Originally, there were only a few people curiously gathered around the entrance of the main room to watch the excitement.However, there are more and more people watching the fun now.

Mr. Tang gave Mrs. Wu a hard look when there were people watching, and signaled Mrs. Wu to get up quickly and not to be ashamed.However, how could Mrs. Wu be willing to...

She was eager to make a fuss, so as to force Tang Kun and his wife to hand over Tang Lier to them obediently.She had completely forgotten about "fame"...

Besides, she didn't care about reputation.

Tang Yue and Tang Wei naturally understood what Mr. Tang meant, and they didn't want to push Tang Kun and his wife too hard, lest they make trouble regardless.After all, Master Qin's words still ring in my ears...

So the two siblings were in a hurry to appease Wu Shi, telling her not to attract more people.However, after the two of them comforted Mrs. Wu, Tang Meier quickly said everything that should be said and should not be said.

At this time, hearing the gossip of the surrounding villagers, Tang Yue was so angry that her eyes burst into tears.

Especially Mr. Tang, who was so angry that he could hardly breathe...

"Sister-in-law Mu, sister-in-law Qin, you can't listen to Meizi's nonsense. She is a child who is ignorant, and things are not what she said..."

Tang Yue took a few deep breaths, and when she spoke again, her expression and voice returned to her usual appearance.She smiled and explained to the famous gossip women in the two villages who were the most popular in the crowd.

"I helped sign a line for Chestnut, and acted as a matchmaker for her to be the daughter-in-law of Mr. Juren in the town. Mr. Juren's family has a big business, and his family is not short of Chestnut's rations. That's why I hope that Chestnut will come in soon. My second brother's house You are also aware of the situation. Weidi and I are sincerely thinking about our second brother's family. You can't listen to the child's one-sided words and wrong me and Weidi. Of course, you can't wrong my mother either. The palms and backs of my hands are full of meat. Mother's life is not easy..."

What Tang Yue said was very emotional.

But the villagers present were almost all the villagers who had watched her grow up, and knew her character of not wanting to suffer from a little loss since she was a child.If the truth of the matter is really as good as she said, I'm afraid she would have quietly made a decision for her direct daughter Guo Lian'er...

"Auntie Meizi, I'm afraid you have a lot of money as a matchmaker. Otherwise, how can you be so enthusiastic? It's because your second brother's family almost starved to death, and they started digging sweet potatoes to satisfy their hunger. People from the Tang family helped them..."

"By the way, Aunt Wu sold a lot of millet a few days ago..."

Although Sister-in-law Qin is usually a bit tongue-in-cheek, her heart is not very bad.No matter how beautiful Tang Yue's words are, it can't change the fact that she is usually vicious and loves to take advantage of small things.

Compared with her, Tang Meier's previous childish words were obviously closer to the truth.

"Second brother, second younger brother and sister, hurry up and say something. Feel your conscience and say, is it because you are afraid of starving the child, so you asked me to find a place for Chestnut to be fed and clothed..."

Seeing that what she said was directly ignored by the villagers, Tang Yue once again took up the idea of ​​Tang Kun and the Zhao family.

Tang Li'er's eyes turned cold. At this moment, Tang Yue was still ruthless, trying to use his family's reputation to force Tang Kun and his wife to submit.

They are still aiming to exchange her life and future for money.

"Father, you made a special trip to the town today, did you hear anything interesting? Father, don't forget that you just promised us that no matter how hard you work, you won't sell me..."

Seeing Tang Kun's face showing a struggling look, Zhao Shi's face was getting colder and colder.

Tang Li'er understood that if she kept silent, her father might be forced to "sacrifice" her one by one...

"Second brother, you have to be careful. Just now Master Qin came over and told me that the reputation of a scholar is very important and cannot stand any flaws. Otherwise, no matter how good a student is, it is impossible to become an official..."

Tang Lier was particularly disappointed by Mr. Tang.

His last words were obviously intended to make Tang Kun accept Tang Yue's argument. He probably never thought that his selfish desire might be the happiness and life of her granddaughter...

Perhaps, in his heart, she, Tang Lier, was destined to pave the way for his biological son and daughter.

The struggling expression on Tang Kun's face became more and more intense.

He looked at Tang Lier with guilt and reluctance gradually, and big drops of sweat fell from his face to the ground drop by drop...

Tang Lier knew that he had to make up his mind, that he was sacrificing her...

Her heart couldn't help but feel cold.

"Father, mother, elder sister, elder brother, I went to the town today. I... I know everything. You sold Chestnut for 500 taels of silver. Chestnut...she is also your granddaughter and niece, you will exchange her for I don’t blame you for making money. But you shouldn’t… you shouldn’t sell chestnuts to a fool who takes pleasure in beating people.”

"Father and mother, I know that everything you do is for the younger brother. However, if you cheat for a while, you won't be able to deceive the whole life. If you are sincerely for the younger brother's benefit, you can't make a mistake. Parents, I'm sorry, the chestnut is mine. Daughter, I...I really can't help but watch her die..."
