Upon hearing Lu Hua's words, Butcher Liu's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that this pretty young girl would almost become his woman.
It was a bit of a pity, but thinking of that terrifying man, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to think any further; his life was more important.
"Yes, at first they wanted to sell my daughter, but she's my own flesh and blood, how could I bear to let you sell her? So we'd rather starve to death than leave the family..."
Yunniang's assertiveness surprised Han Luoxue slightly.
However, upon hearing the whispers of the crowd, she understood what was going on.
They've already bought a shop in town and plan to make a living there. They should be careful about their reputation.
"This lady is right. Who would be willing to sell their own child?"
"People would rather die than sell their children. This woman from Liu's family, her parents are no good."
Yes, some parents would rather die than sell their children, but there are others...
Lu Hua looked at Yun Niang, whose attitude had suddenly become assertive, with surprise. She felt a little envious, but even more so, she was jealous.
She was secretly pleased when her third uncle's family separated from the family.
If she leaves with nothing, can she eat more?
But who could have imagined that he would be the one sold?
Why is Han Luoxue so lucky? If her parents were like her third aunt, even if they didn't know the first time, they wouldn't have let Butcher Liu take her away the second time.
"Third Aunt, Sister Luoxue, the Han family's affairs have nothing to do with me. I'm only eleven years old, I don't understand anything. Please, please save me!"
She cried her heart out, her hands gripping the wall tightly. She knew that if Liu the Butcher took her back this time, she would be beaten again.
“Um, Xueya, this girl…”
Even Master Hu couldn't stand it anymore. Everyone in town knew about Butcher Liu's affair, and if no one took care of it, this girl would really die.
Han Luoxue, who can produce two thousand catties of grain at once, would certainly have no problem saving people.
"Master Hu, Uncle Fu, let's go."
Han Luoxue glanced at Lu Hua. If it were anyone else in the village, she would definitely have intervened.
After all, fifty catties of grain is a small amount for her now.
But the person in front of her was Han Luhua, someone who had schemed against her time and time again.
Last time, she even said that she would be just like her.
The Han Luhua of the past wasn't like this, but now? This girl has changed. Even if you save someone like her, she won't be grateful.
"Let's go, Mr. Hu."
Uncle Fu had been to Hutouya Village and knew more about it. He sighed and hurriedly followed Han Luoxue away.
"This...this girl is a bit pitiful."
Mr. Hu felt a little reluctant to let her go, as she was only eleven years old.
"Han Luoxue, how can you be so heartless?"
"We're sisters, aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep at night if you just stand by and watch someone die?"
"Han Luoxue, you'll regret this!"
...
The sound of the reeds could no longer be heard; it was unclear whether they had gone far away or whether Butcher Liu had gagged her.
However, because of this incident, everyone was in a low mood.
"Yunniang, do you have a grudge against that girl's parents?"
Old Master Hu couldn't help but ask.
“My mother-in-law originally wanted to sell Xue’er to Butcher Liu, and we separated our family because of this…”
Yunniang gave a general explanation, and Master Hu finally sighed. Every family has its own troubles, and this kind of thing is indeed difficult to manage.
The young master was so excited by Han Luoxue's arrival that he almost jumped up.
She grabbed Han Luoxue's leg and wouldn't let go, rubbing her face against it forcefully, and mumbled:
"They also had barbecue at home, but it wasn't tasty at all."
Liu Ai Chi said with a wronged expression.
"Haha, this kid has been craving this for a while now. He was even urging me to take him to your place to eat this morning."
Mr. Liu laughed heartily; he had regretted it the last time he heard about it.
"It's okay, it'll be quick. There's plenty of meat today, we should be able to eat our fill."
Han Luoxue laughed heartily. She really liked this little one, and seeing her made her feel much better for some reason.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Xueya."
Han Luoxue and Yunniang went to the kitchen to get busy. This needed to be marinated first, and there were no barbecue seasoning packets available, so they had to make their own.
Barbecue? Han Luoxue was tempted. Once the famine was over and people's lives improved, she could open a barbecue restaurant.
She didn't know if it was because her space was related to plants, but she felt her cooking skills had improved dramatically. With the same ingredients and the same methods, her dishes tasted exceptionally good. She didn't understand why.
Speaking of seasonings, there aren't many in this era. We'll have to search in the mountains later. Maybe we can find some wild ones and transplant them into her space. We can make some secret seasonings and even open a chain store.
Thinking about it this way, Han Luoxue's heart was burning with excitement.
No, I need to go back and discuss it with my father. The things in the space must be replaced as soon as possible.
"Miss Han, is there any secret to this barbecue? The young master asked us to barbecue for him, but he said it didn't taste good."
The cook in the Liu family's kitchen asked with a curious look. They were all supported by the Liu family; the young master was too picky about food, so working in the kitchen was no easy task.
"I don't have any special tricks, I just go by feel. Aunt Xu, I really can't explain it, but you can watch how I bake it."
Han Luoxue wasn't trying to hide anything; it's just that cooking skills truly rely on talent.
My parents have said it before: the same food tastes better when she makes it.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll have to study it carefully."
Aunt Xu didn't believe it, but she still smiled. Without the trick, how could we possibly make two different flavors? She would definitely keep her eyes peeled and learn it thoroughly so that she could make roast meat that satisfied the young master one day.
Han Luoxue was unaware of Aunt Xu's thoughts, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. She was just a stranger; she didn't believe she could force Aunt Xu to believe her.
...
"Han Jinghua, I told you to visit your parents, why did you bring your mother back?"
Han Jinghua was very anxious the whole way. Although she had given birth to two daughters and a son for her husband's family, she did not have a high status in the family.
Her mother-in-law was a shrew, and she felt somewhat guilty for taking her mother back with her.
"Oh dear, in-law, I'm only here for a couple of days, it's not like I'm never leaving. What's the rush?"
Grandma Han was initially quite uneasy, but she calmed down on the way.
She raised her daughter all these years, what's wrong with her staying at her daughter's house for a few days?
She had watched Han Mingyuan grow up since he was a child, and he was very soft-hearted. She was staying here for a few days to avoid trouble, and after a few days, when she went back to Lao San's house, would they really be able to drive her away?
"Hehe, Grandma Han, you make it sound so easy. Coming over for a few days? I've never seen you stay here before. Your Han family isn't starving, so you're coming here to beg for food, are you?"
Grandma Han's expression changed; they still had grain in their house.
Damn it, she should have taken some food with her when she left. But she couldn't let her daughter go hungry at her daughter's house; she would eat whatever her daughter ate.
