There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 29

[Chapter 29, sell yourself to bury your father]

Mrs. Li, who sold her body to bury her father, led Yan Zhiqiang to meet the tenants of the Zhuangzi, and learned about the situation of the Zhuangzi, and the group set off for the county seat.

After that, this Zhuangzi will be handed over to Yan Zhiqiang to take care of it.

On the carriage, Daohua sat beside Old Madam Yan and said, “Grandmother, Zhuangzi is so big, Third Uncle will definitely not be able to handle it by himself. Let us help him when planting next spring.”

“I think you are Come out and play!” Mrs. Yan nodded Daohua’s forehead, and glanced at Mrs. Li with a smile, “Now your parents are by your side, the old lady will not care about your affairs in the future, can you come out, ask Go, mother.”

Dao Hua immediately looked at Mrs. Li.

Looking at her daughter’s bright eyes, Mrs. Li smiled. She also knew that her daughter was a bit out of touch these days, but this is not Yan’s Village, so she can’t let her temperament do it.

Although their family is not a big family, the female relatives don’t need to strictly abide by the rules of not going out of the gate, but they can’t go out at will.

These days, because she just arrived in the county, she was allowed to run around all the more. After she could, the rules that should be followed had to be established, or other people in the family would have opinions.

Mrs. Li thought for a while, then smiled and said: “Your father attaches great importance to studies. Your three younger sisters are all reading the Analects now. As the elder sister, you can’t be left behind.”

Daohua immediately said: “The Analects, I also I’ve read it.”

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, her expression a little surprised: “Daohua has also started to learn the Analects?”

At this time, Mrs. Yan interrupted with a smile: “You girl has a good memory, third uncle has been right several times. I sighed and said that it would be great if Daohua was a man, then our family might be able to produce another Jinshi.”

Mrs. Li was really shocked: “Is the third uncle so optimistic about Daohua?”

The old lady Yan looked proud: “That is, the patriarch’s grandson, do you remember? He is several years older than Daohua, and his study progress can’t keep up with our Daohua.”

Looking at the proud old lady Yan , Daohua felt a little ashamed.

The reason why she reads fast is not because she is smart. She has an adult soul, so she can calm down and sit still than children. In addition, where is the nine-year compulsory education? ?

However, in this life, her memory is indeed good. Not to mention the memory of the memory, many things can be remembered 80 to 90% after watching it three or four times.

She felt that this was probably due to eating the high-quality food produced in the space.

The food grown in the space is of good quality and rich in nutrition. After eating, the body will develop better.

In the Yan family, whether it is the old lady Yan, Yan Wentao, or Yan Wenhui, if they eat too much food in the space, their health is much better than ordinary people.

Just like the third aunt Wu, it stands to reason that she was exposed to the wind and sun in her hometown, standing with Mrs. Li and Sun, she should look more vicissitudes, but because she ate things in the space, whether it is skin or body , not at all inferior to these two pampered wives.

Mrs. Sun has secretly asked Mrs. Wu several times in private, asking how she takes care of it. It’s a pity that Mrs. Wu didn’t know it herself, and only said that she had never taken care of it.

Regarding this, Mrs. Sun had a look of disbelief. It was not that she had never seen village women, but she felt that Mrs. Wu was just like them in the countryside, and did not do any farm work at all.

Along the way afterwards, Mrs. Yan kept bragging about how smart Daohua was, and praised her so much that if it wasn’t for the wrong gender, she would almost say that she was a Wenqu star who had descended to earth, and Daohua herself blushed.

However, Mrs. Li didn’t feel that something was wrong at all, and she listened with a smile on her face, and would echo a few words from time to time.

It’s true that one dares to speak and the other dares to listen.

Half an hour later, Daohua was covering her head in a daze when she suddenly heard her third uncle say that the city gate had arrived.

For this, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s finally here, and if she continues to listen, she will feel that the person that Mrs. Yan’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are talking about is not her.

However, at the gate of the city, the carriage stopped unexpectedly.

“Hey, why didn’t you leave?”

Daohua lifted the curtain of the car and found that many people gathered around the city gate, blocking the road a little.

After waiting for a while, the carriage still hadn’t left, Daohua couldn’t help but wanted to lift the curtain again, but Yan Wentao took the first step to open the curtain from the outside.

“Third brother, what’s the matter?”

Yan Wentao said, “Someone is selling their body to bury their father in front, blocking the road. Father asked me to come over and tell my grandmother and eldest aunt that we may have to wait a while before entering the city.

” At these words, Daohua’s eyes suddenly shot an astonishing light: “Sell yourself to bury your father!!!” This kind of plot is often seen in novels and TV, but I didn’t expect to see the live version today.

Daohua looked eagerly at Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li: “Grandmother, mother, I want to go down and have a look.”

Mrs. Li wanted to refuse, but her daughter looked expectant and couldn’t say anything, so she looked at Mrs. Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan knew Daohua’s temperament all along, and she knew that if she didn’t let her get out of the car today, she would have to torture them for a long time, so she said, “Don’t cause trouble, just look outside.”

Daohua immediately promised: “Don’t worry . , I will never cause trouble.” After speaking, he got out of the car in a hurry.

Seeing this, Old Madam Yan shook her head: “I don’t know who this girl’s temperament resembles?” Mrs.

Li is demure and dignified, and the eldest is also restrained and prudent. How did she give birth to such a detached girl?

Mrs. Li smiled and said, “The master said that Daohua’s temperament is very similar to when she was young.”

Mrs. Yan recalled her appearance when she was young, and she was immediately happy: “Don’t say it, that girl is really like a girl.” Me.”

Outside the carriage, Dao Hua pulled Yan Wentao into the crowd.

“Is there more than one who sold his body to bury his father?”

At this moment, on the side of the road outside the city gate, there were three corpses, and the corpses were simply covered with straw.

In front of the corpse, there were three fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls kneeling.

Daohua took a closer look at the three little girls, and found that one of them was very good-looking, with big watery eyes, she was tearful because of the death of her relatives, and she looked very pitiful.

The other two looked very ordinary, and one of them was so hungry that he was a little skinny and looked a little scary.

Among the onlookers, some expressed sympathy for him, some simply watched the fun, and few came forward to buy.

It’s not easy for everyone these days. Unless the family is relatively wealthy, who would buy someone at this time?

Daohua looked at the people around and found that many men were looking at the good-looking girl, and some young men even stepped forward to comfort the girl.

Not long after, a young man dressed as a scholar came forward and gave the girl a dime: “Girl, hurry up and bury your father.” The

girl looked up at the scholar, but did not take the money.

Seeing this, the scholar immediately said: “I don’t want you to sell yourself, you just take the money.” The

girl shook her head, bit her lip and said nothing.

That stubborn look made the men around him feel distressed.

Yan Wentao was worried for her: “Why doesn’t she accept money?” Daohua

smiled: “Maybe that scholar is not the girl’s target.” Look down on.

“Ah?” Yan Wentao didn’t understand, and was about to ask, at this moment, a young man in brocade clothes came over surrounded by people.

Just as Mr. Jinyi stood still, the girl who didn’t accept the scholar’s money suddenly raised her head sobbingly, and looked at Mr. Jinyi pitifully.

Seeing the girl’s face clearly, Mr. Jinyi’s eyes flashed with astonishment, and then he smiled softly and said, “Your father, Mr. Ben, buried you for you.”

Hearing this, the girl shed tears of gratitude: “Thank you son, the little girl has nothing to repay you, but she can only repay you with her body.”

Hearing this, Daohua showed such an expression as expected.

“It turns out that the girl is looking for a rich man!”

Yan Wentao also realized at this time.

Not only him, but other people around also suddenly realized.

Looking at the girl who followed the young man in brocade clothes, the scholar froze in place with shame and anger.

At this time, another girl spoke.

“Please, sir, please do me a favor. I can cook, chop firewood, plant land, and do all kinds of work. I would like to be a cow or a horse to repay you.” The

scholar glanced at the girl, dropped the money, turned around and left the crowd .

The girl picked up the silver, kowtowed three times in a row, and said loudly: “Bury father, I will serve you right away.” After finishing speaking, she asked the refugees around to carry her father to the burial.

At the scene, only the skinny girl was left.

“They’re all poor people!”

Dao Hua sighed, because the two people who sold their bodies to bury their father left, the road was much smoother, and the carriage of Yan’s family came, and Yan Zhiqiang told them to get into the carriage.

Just when Daohua turned around, the girl suddenly raised her head, as if mustering up a lot of courage, she said in a hoarse voice: “Please buy me, girl.”
