Jiang Sihai and his party did not enter the village, but sat on the rocks to rest in twos and threes. They thought it would happen quickly, but they waited for nearly an hour and no one came.
"Ah Wu, go down and take a look." Jiang Sihai called to the young escort closest to him and said.
"Hey." Ah Wu followed the order.
Xiao Ming and others did not sit in the carriage and wait. The three of them got off the carriage and Xiao Ming went to the field stems. She wanted to see the rice up close.
The rice fields stood sparsely, and the ears of rice were bent down listlessly. Xiao Ming picked one and peeled it open. Sure enough, the rice grains were small, white with yellow. How much could be harvested from the full acre of rice field in front of her? For how many people?
"Little girl, be careful not to fall into the ditch." A woman next to her came out with a basket in her hand. She put a few cakes and a jar of water in it. She thought she was going to the fields to deliver meals to her family. Seeing that Xiao Ming and the others looked familiar, although they were plainly dressed, the clothes were made of fine quality fabrics. His tone became better and he said with a smile: "The roads in the fields are slippery, so don't dirty your shoe uppers."
"Thank you, aunt, for reminding us. We can save it." Xiao Ming thanked her.
"Where did you come from?"
"Pingcheng."
When the woman heard that they were from Pingcheng, and saw Jiang Sihai and several people riding on big horses and carriages, she suddenly became interested, laughed loudly, and said flatteringly: "You are from the Song family in Pingcheng." Come to pick up the Song family's eldest daughter?"
Without waiting for Xiao Ming to reply, the woman continued: "I would say that the eldest daughter of the Song family is a lucky person. Although her mother died early, the Song boss married a new wife early. I thought that eldest sister My son’s life is miserable, but he never expected to marry a rich man in the city.”
Xiao Ming and Jiang Xiangyuan looked at each other, and Jiang Xiangyuan said, "Auntie, please tell us what's going on with Miss Song? Hasn't she been recuperating in her ancestral home?"
"What kind of ancestral home to recuperate? Dani has been staying in the ancestral home since she was born. Her mother died when she was five years old. Boss Song married his stepmother within two years. This stepmother was not a good one either. Dani My son is suffering under her hands. The price of the bride price is too high. Poor Dani is sixteen and she has not yet been married to someone else. She is already guarding the old girl. Mr. Song Er, who is not in the city, can't stand it and says that he will kill her. Dani took her to the city and found her a good husband-in-law. For this reason, she also gave Dannier's father a lot of money."
The woman spoke with great envy. She felt that Da Nier had received great benefits. She wished she had a daughter like Da Nier, who could not only get money but also find a good husband for her daughter.
It can be seen that in her mind, being able to marry in the city is a good life and blessing.
Xiao Ming was shocked. Li'er was right. She was not her biological child. This was the stepmother's abuse of her ex-wife and daughter. Her second uncle, who had made a fortune out of town, couldn't bear to see her and wanted to save her from the fire and promise her a good home. .
hehe! How can anything in the world be so cheap? I don’t know what kind of family they are.
This Miss Song family is really pitiful. She was betrayed by her biological father. The Song family actually sent a steward to pick up this Miss Song. He must not think highly of her.
They waited for nearly a quarter of an hour before Manager Yu and his party came back. In addition to them, there was also a man in his forties leading a man and a woman. They seemed to be Mr. Song's family. The girl was not very old. She looked sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a small old package in her hand. She seemed to be the Miss Song family who was raised in the ancestral house by the steward, and Song Dani in the mouth of the village women.
Her body was as thin as a bamboo pole, but the clothes she wore were very baggy and obviously ill-fitting. The clothes flowed when she walked. I was really afraid that she would fall down like this. She walked very slowly, falling far behind. behind people.
The boy was smaller than her, with a strong body and a swaggering walk. He was walking slowly behind the girl, but when he saw a horse in front of him, his eyes lit up and he rushed forward excitedly, pushing. The girl who drove ahead rushed forward.
"Yeah!" The girl was caught off guard by the violent push and fell to the ground. However, the boy ran forward regardless and looked greedily at the horse that Jiang Sihai and the others were riding.
Xiao Ming frowned as she watched, and Jiang Xiangyuan quickly went up to help the girl up. The girl did not cry, her lips were pursed stubbornly, and there was a long blood mark on her thin arms.
"Why are you like this, pushing someone down?" Jiang Xiangyuan said angrily, accusing the boy of being unreasonable.
"Tch, it's her fault that she didn't stand up properly. It's none of my business." The boy said nonchalantly, not afraid of being criticized.
"You." Jiang Xiangyuan was extremely angry and was ready to teach him a lesson.
"Brother An, come back." Boss Song, who came with Manager Yu, shouted. As a father, he was not worried about his daughter being pushed down and injured by his son. He called his son because he was worried that he would be kicked by the horse if he was too close to the horse.
Mr. Song is dressed in shabby clothes, his face is full of the vicissitudes of life, his trousers are tied up, he is wearing ragged grass t-shirts, and his feet are still stained with mud. He looks like he just climbed up from the fields. It is obvious that the second Mr. Song is rich, but he is still an honest and honest man. His legs were muddy. He didn't look at or care about his daughter being bullied by his son. Obviously this was a very common thing at home. After greeting his son, he said to the steward: "Steward Yu, Dani, I will please."
"Don't worry, sir." Manager Yu replied, his tone a little careless. He was very dissatisfied. He thought that the trip was going smoothly and he could just leave with the new eldest lady whom he recognized, but the elder's family After seeing him, the man blocked him and prevented him from seeing anyone. He made it clear that if he wanted to take the person away, he would also give him more money.
ridiculous.
He took a lot of trouble to bring the person out. He was angry and naturally turned a blind eye to Song Dani's injustice. He was not very polite to the elder. He turned to Jiang Sihai and said: "It's getting late, we should set off. , I didn’t even get a drop of water during this trip.”
The words were obviously directed at Boss Song. Not to mention serving meals at the Song family, he didn't even have a sip of water, so the manager was filled with resentment.
Boss Song was obviously uncomfortable for a moment. He turned to his daughter behind him and said, "As a human being, you must never forget your roots. Your parents have worked so hard to bring you up. Now that you are gone, you will be everyone's young lady. If you have money and money, please call me." Don’t forget about home, life is hard at home.”
Xiao Ming~~
Jiang Xiangyuan···
Everyone...
It's incredible that a father can say such high-sounding words after selling his daughter. After parting, he didn't say anything caring and comforting, but actually asked for money.
The younger brother An was even worse. What he said at such a young age was cruel: "Give me your money back, or I'll kill you." He waved his fist as he spoke. Boss Song was used to this, and he wanted to come here. It’s also commonplace at home.
Everyone is stunned, what a top-notch family.
This is indeed the rhythm of having a stepmother and a stepfather.
