She has been helping the family since she was sensible. When she was younger, she had to clean tables, wash dishes, sweep the floor, and go up the mountain to cut pig grass, dig wild vegetables, and feed pigs, rabbits, and chickens with the older children.
When I show some strength, I have to chop wood and carry water. Once I chop wood, my arms will hurt for several days.
She thinks this is useful. Only sensible children are liked by their parents. She is much more capable than other girls of the same age, so her treatment at home will be much better.
But when her younger brother was born, he seemed to be able to get everything she had been trying hard to get without having to pay anything.
What does it feel like?
I just feel that my heart feels so uncomfortable, stuffy, and a little tingling.
Unwilling and unconvinced, they were all beaten away by that slap.
She collapsed on the ground in a daze, and was pulled up directly by Pei Dacheng.
Mr. Li squinted his eyes slightly.
"Have you decided? Twenty taels of silver."
Pei Dacheng knew that they were actually satisfied. After all, there was nothing to say about Xiaoya's appearance and strength.
A smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
"Okay, okay, thank you, sir."
Pei Xiaoya's wrist was firmly held by Pei Dacheng's rough hands. He just pulled her up and pulled her hand painfully.
But after she stood up, she began to regain consciousness.
She suddenly felt that her world was falling apart.
Mom had already known about the conversation she had with the fat woman yesterday and the vague look she had on her.
His parents want to sell him to a fool as a child bride.
The lady sitting on the high platform was dressed in luxurious clothes and fine brocade, but she could feel that they looked down on her, just like they looked down on her as a dog who was guarding the home.
There was a hint of disgust and contempt in the lady's eyes. She was still a child, but her feelings about this aspect were actually deeper than those of an adult.
Even if she really enters this house, she won't get any good fruits.
Pei Xiaoya has grown to her current age. No matter how smart a four-year-old child is, she cannot be very calm. She used to think that as long as she was capable and pleased her parents, she could live a better life.
But no, everything now was like the slap that just woke her up.
For the first time, she clearly realized what patriarchal preference was and that her parents were unreliable.
But what can she do now?
She has some strength, but this strength is nothing compared to Pei Dacheng, who is used to doing heavy farm work, and the boys in the garden.
She wants to escape from here, but what will happen after she escapes?
What do you do to support yourself? How do you keep yourself fed and clothed? Besides, it’s not like there are no abducted children in Peijia Village who can never be found again.
She has long remembered that there is a sin in the world called human trafficking.
And now, aren't her parents just selling her?
Her tears kept flowing, but no one came to comfort her, they all looked on coldly.
Pei Xiaoya took a deep breath and wiped the tears on her face haphazardly, soaking her cuffs.
"Dad, Xiaoya, will I never see you again?"
The daughter's voice was still crying and very soft.
Pei Dacheng also recovered from the excitement of just twenty taels of silver. Xiaoya has always been an obedient and sensible daughter, and she is already so capable at the age of four.
After hearing her words, even Pei Dacheng couldn't help but soften his heart. The human heart is made of flesh. After all, it is his own flesh and blood. There is no one who doesn't feel distressed, but all ten fingers are different in length.
For Jinbao, Xiaoya can only be wronged.
Pei Xiaoya watched as the softness in her father's eyes was quickly replaced by firmness, and she became increasingly frightened.
She couldn't help but tug on Pei Dacheng's sleeves.
"Dad, I can't let you go, I can't let go of my mother, and I can't let go of my brother."
Pei Dacheng wanted to say something, to say that your parents would come back to see you in the future, but Mr. Li was sitting at the top with a shrewd light in his eyes that made people tremble subconsciously, and he suppressed what he wanted to say.
After being sold to the Li family, Pei Xiaoya is no longer a member of their family. If he comes to see her, isn't this an offense to Mr. Li?
Pei Xiaoya's heart became heavier and heavier, and she knew it clearly.
The attitude of her father and her mother.
"Dad, Xiaoya wants to eat a bunch of candied haws."
There were tears in her eyes, which were shining brightly.
Pei Dacheng also suddenly remembered that Xiaoya had never eaten a bunch of candied haws from the market since she was born.
It seems that she has always been surprisingly sensible since she first became a child.
A hidden guilt suddenly swept through my heart.
At the end, his daughter did not cry hoarse or make a fuss like other children he had seen. She just wanted a bunch of candied haws that she had never eaten before, which aroused some of the fatherly feelings in his heart.
There was a bit of hesitation and struggle in his eyes, while Mr. Li, who was sitting at the top, took a quiet sip of tea and saw his wife's impatient expression.
Mr. Li took a sip of the fragrant tea and dozed his eyelids slightly.
He stretched out his right hand and waved.
"Xiao Pei, if your daughter wants to eat candied haws on a stick, let her go."
"Xiao Xiaozi, you go with them. After they finish buying the candied haws, bring this girl back and go to the accounting office to pay her father twenty taels of silver."
Pei Dacheng quickly thanked him, and a strong young man walked out beside Mr. Li. He looked like he was in his twenties or thirties, with a kind smile on his face.
"Brother Pei, let's go then. The trouble will be over soon, and Brother Pei will go home early."
Pei Dacheng smiled.
"Eh."
Pei Xiaoya suddenly became stiff all over.
Mr. Li, who was sitting upright, kept looking at the little girl. He noticed this fleeting movement and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. She was indeed a smart little girl, but it was a pity that she was born in the wrong place.
Pei Dacheng held Xiaoya's hand loosely and led her out of the big house here, while the young man named Xiao was walking on the other side of Pei Xiaoya, with people standing on both sides.
Pei Xiaoya wanted to escape. She was too young. Even if she knew that she would not be able to live alone even if she escaped, she subconsciously chose to escape. The big mansion behind her seemed to have lost its previous splendor, like a sleeping bird. The big tiger, when it wakes up, can swallow her in one bite.
She couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
The thin bangs on her forehead were stuck between her eyebrows due to cold sweat, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
When we reached the market, the noisy sales started again.
She suddenly felt that the headband tied to her head was very heavy, pulling her hair firmly.
After passing through the complicated crowd, the candied haws seller was right in front of me.
And there is.
The stone pillar that impressed her deeply, the ethereal immortal monks, and the straight line lined up in an orderly manner out of awe.
Even though no one has been tested after such a long time, there is still an endless stream of people and a long queue.
Xiao Xiao went to buy candied haws.
Pei Dacheng held Pei Xiaoya's hand tightly. Just after walking for a while, he came back to his senses. After recovering from his fatherly mentality, he naturally noticed something.
I felt that Xiaoya was young after all, so she shouldn't have those thoughts, but the hand she held was tight.
Seeing that there was no change at all when the person put his hand on the stone pillar, her heart sank.
I watched Xiao Xiao buy it back.
Step by step closer.
Her heart skipped a beat, and the violent feeling made her unable to ignore it because she was unwilling to give in.
Even if there was no chance, she still wanted to give it a try.
Even if the consequences get worse.
Pei Dacheng suddenly let out a scream, attracting many people here to look back.
Pei Xiaoya, who was already stronger, bit down hard on the fragile flesh on the back of his hand, and subconsciously let go of her hand.
Pei Xiaoya immediately ran out towards the stone pillar. Even if she couldn't bear the rage of the person behind her, she still wanted to hold on to that ethereal hope.
The people in line were in a daze as they hadn't expected to jump in line. However, those immortals' five senses were beyond ordinary people's, so they naturally noticed it early.
But when he saw the girl's obviously extraordinary speed, even faster than an ordinary adult man, he was a little surprised, and he didn't have time to wave her away.
Pei Xiaoya's hand immediately touched it.
The surface of the cold stone pillar suddenly glowed with white light at that moment!
