"Brother, I think you'd better sell your daughter to this little girl!" A man in Tsing Yi walked out of the crowd and said to the man selling the girl, "You girl is as thin as a bean sprout, even if you go to Piao Xiangyuan may not be able to be sold for a few more taels of silver. What kind of business are they doing? What can you do as a girl here? Looking at her skinny appearance, she just wants to be a fire girl. I'm afraid she won't even be able to chop the wood. Not even a few! Maybe I can’t even sell it for six taels of silver!”
As the man in Tsing Yi stood up and spoke, the people who had pity on the little girl also spoke up, "She is your daughter after all, how can you have the heart to sell your daughter to a place like that?"
"No, we are a family after all. Now that a good family is willing to have your daughter, you, the father, can't be happy just by pushing your daughter into that brazier!"
…
After a group of people watched the excitement, the man who sold his daughter finally gritted his teeth and agreed to sell his daughter to Mo Ziwan. This caused Song Nanzhi and Mo Ziwei, who were supposed to go to the tea shop to buy a set of tea sets, to go to the yamen shop instead.
Arriving at the Yamen went smoothly. After signing the deed of betrayal, Song Nanzhi didn't delay any longer. He took out the money bag for selling medicine, counted out six taels of silver, and handed it to the man. After handing the money out, he looked at the deed of betrayal in Mo Ziwan's hand, then looked at the bean sprout-like little girl, sighed and said, "Let's go home!"
Mo Ziyuan read the deed of sale carefully and then folded it up. After folding it, she handed it to Song Nanzhi's hand, "Grandma, keep it!"
Song Nanzhi took the piece of paper in exchange for six taels of silver, and couldn't help but feel a little heartache for the silver. It was heartbreaking, but he still took the deed of betrayal handed over by Mo Ziyuan, put it away and put it in his arms and said: " Don’t worry now!”
Mo Ziyuan nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry." Then she said flatteringly: "Grandma is here, I just eat, drink and play." After that, she took the little girl's hand and shouted: "Sister Chunya, let's go with grandma. Go home!" When writing the deed of sale, I not only wrote down the girl's last name, where she lived, why she was sold, and to whom she was sold, but also that her life and death after the sale would be unrelated to her family, and that she would not have any contact with each other. Everything is written clearly.
After leaving the yamen, Mo Ziyuan stopped pestering Song Nanzhi to buy tea sets at the tea shop. Although she earned a lot of money, she spent so much money on the purchase, so she had to save some money left. The tea set can be omitted.
You can save on tea sets, but you still can’t save on the expenses of living. I insisted on cutting two pounds of meat before going home.
As soon as she returned to the yard, Mo Ziyuan took Chun Ya and ran towards the yard. Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, "Grandpa, we are back! We also brought a sister back."
Mo Tingyu is restless. Although his leg injury has not healed yet, he is doing his best to do what he can do at home. Last night, I discussed with Song Nanzhi how to grind more rice. I couldn't let the two grandsons of the Li family come and have them eat porridge with me every day. In addition, the rice in the fields had just been recovered, so even if they were drinking porridge, You can’t fill your bowl with soup. You must have more rice at home. Before Song Nanzhi went out in the morning, he took out a bag of rice stored in the cabinet and placed it next to the stone mortar for Mo Tingyu to pound some rice.
Mo Tingyu sat in front of the stone mortar and watched Mo Ziwan dragging a little girl home in a hurry. Looking at the little girl he met, he was still wondering which family the baby was from! I just looked at it for a long time and didn't see it, so I looked at Song Nanzhi who was following behind.
After Song Nanzhi passively sold Chunya, although he didn't show any displeasure with Chunya along the way, he was more worried than happy. No one knows the situation at home better than she does. Whether it's food, clothing, or people, she really can't take care of her two children. However, I saw Mo Ziwan's happy expression along the way, especially when I entered the yard, and saw her excitedly running home with Chun Ya, and thinking that Yuan Wan didn't have any brothers or sisters, she was the only child in the family. It is also a good thing to have spring buds to accompany Wan Wan, and the arrival of spring buds is not so difficult to accept despite worries.
Song Nanzhi came closer and then said, "Let's talk about it after we enter the room!"
After Song Nanzhi finished speaking, he carried the fabric, cotton and two kilograms of cut meat in the backpack into the house. After putting down the basket, he turned around and came out to help Mo Tingyu into the house.
After Mo Tingyu was settled, Song Nanzhi sat down and shouted to Chun Ya: "Chun Ya, come here!"
Chunya was only an eight-year-old child. Although Mo Ziwan was taking care of her along the way, she had just changed the environment. She didn't know people, she didn't know the place, and it was not the home she was familiar with before. She walked timidly. When he arrived in front of Song Nanzhi, he didn't know how to call anyone. He just stood in front of Song Nanzhi with his head lowered, waiting for her instructions.
Song Nanzhi is a soft-hearted person, otherwise he would not buy her based on Mo Ziwan. I have bought everything, and we can only spend the next days together, so seeing her scared look, I can't bear it. I reached out and took her skinny hand and said: "My child, don't be afraid, we are home." ." Then he pointed at Mo Tingyu and said: "This is your sister Wan Wan's grandfather. From now on, you will be called grandpa just like your sister Wan Wan!"
Mo Ziyuan stood next to Chun Ya, shaking her hand and urging: "Sister Chun Ya, call grandpa quickly!"
Chun Ya looked at the kind-hearted Song Nanzhi and Mo Tingyu in front of her. The fear in her heart dissipated a little, and she called out in a low voice: "Grandpa."
"And grandma! Call grandma." Mo Ziwan was completely like a big sister at this time, taking care of her little sister who had just come home.
"Grandma!" Chunya shouted obediently.
"Good boy!" Song Nanzhi said. Then he took out the deed of betrayal from his arms and handed it to Mo Tingyu, "This is Chun Ya's deed of betrayal."
Then he continued: "Chun Ya is also a poor child. When Wan Wan and I came back from selling herbs, we met that her father wanted to sell her to some unscrupulous people. It was Wan Wan who saw how pitiful she was and wanted to take her with her. Come back." Song Nanzhi didn't say much, and told Mo Tingyu how Chunya got there in just one sentence.
After hearing this, Mo Tingyu didn't ask any questions. Like Song Nanzhi, he was a little more worried about the future. His legs were not good to begin with, and he relied on the old woman at home. If Wanwan hadn't been sensible and didn't need anyone to take care of him, Otherwise, the old woman's body would not be able to bear it long ago, but now there is another baby in the family. The baby in front of me is not big, and is very thin. I will definitely have to devote more attention to taking care of her in the future.
He was worried, but he had the same thoughts as Song Nanzhi. Seeing that Mo Ziyuan was happy and brought her back, he could only accept it. He stretched out his hand and stroked Chunya's dry and yellow hair, and said softly: "Okay, okay, This will be your home from now on."
Mo Ziyuan listened to Mo Tingyu's words, and then remembered what she said to her when she fished him out of the river. She walked up to Mo Tingyu, leaned against Mo Tingyu and shouted: "Grandpa, don't worry, from now on Sister Chunya and I will Let’s honor you and grandma together.”
Chun Ya didn't need to be called out at this moment. She knelt down in front of Mo Tingyu and said to Mo Tingyu: "Grandpa and grandma, I can work. I don't eat for free. I can feed pigs, chickens, and cook. I can also I can dig in the ground and take care of my sister!”
Mo Tingyu sighed deeply after Chun Ya's words, alas! They are all miserable people! He pulled her up and said: "Our family is not rich, so don't kneel down anymore. Your mother and I are taking care of the house work. It's not the baby's turn to worry about it, so you can rest easy." Just stay with your sister Wan Wan."
Song Nanzhi also said: "Yes, from now on you will help grandma take care of Wanwan."
Chunya nodded, "Well, I will definitely take good care of sister Wanwan."
Mo Ziwan said again: "Sister Chun Ya, you will be part of our family from now on. I will give you a new name."
Chun Ya looked at Mo Ziwan, her eyes sparkling, and she nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"
Mo Aster looked at the thin spring buds, thinking that her grandma named her Aster so that Mo Aster could survive as tenaciously as the aster flowers that can be seen everywhere in the fields. Although the real aster did not survive in the end, but now I am her, I will live tenaciously for her, and I will take good care of her grandparents for her. Looking at the vicissitudes of grandma's face in front of her, she said to Chun Ya: "From now on, you will be called Mo Li! Our family will never leave!"
Chunya burst into tears after Mo Ziwan's words. She had just been pulled up by Mo Tingyu and knelt down in front of Mo Ziwan, "I will never leave my grandparents or my sister from now on! I want to I will take care of you all my life."
Mo Ziwan smiled. Her grandma saved her and brought her up. From the moment she entered this family, she was the real Mo Ziwan. She took care of her grandma and made her live a good life. As their granddaughter, she due responsibility. Although Mo Li has just entered the house now and has not yet established a family relationship with this family, but she can say such words now, there is no doubt that this child is also a grateful person.
He pulled Mo Li up with a smile, "Okay, let's take care of our grandparents together from now on!" After that, he said: "Also, our family is not rich. We can buy you back today because we found you in the mountains a few days ago. I bought a kind of medicinal material, and I happened to get some money from selling medicine at the medical center today, so I have the money to buy you back."
Then the conversation changed, "Also, our family still owes the people in the village some money, so when people in the village ask you in the future, you just say that your father is going to sell you, and you don't want to be sold, so run away secretly. After I came out, I fainted from hunger and was picked up by my milk!"
"Yes, yes, we will all follow Wan Wan's statement from now on. Otherwise, if people find out that our family owes money to others, they will buy someone to take care of them." Mo Tingyu hurriedly followed after hearing this.
Song Nanzhi responded: "Okay, I understand." Then he told Mo Li, "You also remember, don't let it slip in the future." As for the money left from selling the medicine, he will tell the old man slowly in the evening.
