Chapter 94 Selling Goods
As the Mountain God caravan moved around, more and more people knew about the existence of the "Mountain God".
No one believed it at first. It’s just a bracelet, what can it do?
But for something that costs only six copper coins, there will always be one or two people who try it. Once one or two people tried it, the effect came out - does it really work? !
Oh My God!
Can it really drive away monsters? !
Those who managed to survive because of the bracelet amulet were very surprised.
"This thing really works?!"
Only six copper coins are needed to buy a string of life-saving items. It's really a huge profit.
He hurried home to share the news with his family, and told his relatives and friends to buy a pair of bracelets to carry with them whenever they encounter the mountain god caravan.
If you have extra money, you can buy a few more strings.
Cloud Village.
When Xiang Xiaojiu returned to her husband's home, she immediately asked a half-grown child to watch the yard, and she called her husband into the house to talk.
"Why are you being so mysterious?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Xiang Xiaojiu asked him to keep his voice down, and took out a heavily wrapped cloth bag from his arms, and took out a bracelet from it, "This is a treasure!"
Her husband looked confused, thinking, this bracelet is also a treasure?
"Don't underestimate this thing. My parents only bought three of it. When I bought it, I was also skeptical. I just thought the shape was good, so I bought it as a gift for my two sisters, plus one for my sister-in-law, for a total of three. But guess what?"
"What?"
"My sister-in-law was wearing this bracelet and went out to work with my eldest brother when they encountered a monster."
When he heard about the monster, the man became nervous: "Are they okay?"
Xiang Xiaojiu shook his head: "It's okay. Didn't I just say that my sister-in-law went out with this bracelet? The monster ran away before it even got close to them. Otherwise, why do you think my father sent someone to tell me to go back to my parents' home? It was to let me go back to my parents' home to marry this baby, this baby..."
Her man was shocked. Is there such a magical thing in this world? !
"My eldest brother and sister-in-law experienced it personally, how could it be false? If it weren't for my parents' decision, my sister-in-law wouldn't want to give us the remaining bracelets. Because of this, my sister-in-law even had a fight with my eldest brother." Xiang Xiaojiu was unhappy. How could her man doubt her?
Does she look like someone who could lie?
The man quickly said no, he just felt too surprised and a little bit unbelievable.
"I couldn't believe it either, but my parents loved me and insisted that I bring it back. Before I came back, I told them that if the Mountain God Caravan came to our village, I must buy a few more strings, and remember to return one to my sister-in-law..." Xiang Xiaojiu also felt a little unconfident.
If it was just an ordinary bracelet, she would just give it up, but if this thing could really drive away monsters, she would have no choice but to give it up.
There was no way, her husband also had to go out to work, and she was worried that something might happen to him.
Xiang Xiaojiu also told her husband not to spread rumors outside, because if the news got to the ears of the "evil god", their family would be in trouble.
Naturally, there is nothing men cannot do without.
It is called an "evil god", but in fact it is also a monster, and we just made a deal with it. Instead of letting the monsters outside come to rob, it is better to directly worship a stronger one and offer "offerings" on a regular basis, so that everyone can live a peaceful life.
The "offerings" are provided by each family. They are discussed by the village chief and the elders of each family. Each family draws one, and they take turns on the first and fifteenth day of the month.
However, what Xiang Xiaojiu did not expect was that in the evening of that day, her father-in-law and mother-in-law brought her uncle's family to her house and said that their family had been drawn as the "sacrifice" this month.
Xiang Xiaojiu was stunned: "Our...family?! Dad and Mom, are you kidding me? Xiaoxia is the only child in our family!"
Old Mrs. Yu sighed and said that they didn't want to do that, but when the elders went to draw lots today, their family happened to be chosen.
She knew that the second wife had only one child, Yu Xia, but Xiang Xiaojiu was still young and could still have children, unlike her elder sister-in-law, whose health deteriorated when she gave birth to Yu Xiaohua and she could no longer have children.
So they discussed it and decided to let the second wife give birth to the child.
Xiang Xiaojiu naturally disagreed. She angrily questioned: "Why should our family go? I only have Xiaoxia as a child, and my sister-in-law has two children, Zhouzhou and Xiaohua. Isn't Xiaohua a girl? Let Xiaohua go..."
The eldest sister-in-law Yu Yan's eyes immediately turned red and she started to cry, saying that she was not reluctant to give up her daughter Yu Xiaohua, but she had a stomachache when she gave birth to Yu Xiaohua and could not give birth again. She was destined to have only these two children in this life. If Yu Xiaohua died, she would only have Yu Zhou as her son...
She was not like Xiang Xiaojiu, who was in such good health that she could go back to work on the day she gave birth to Yu Xia. She believed that even if Xiang Xiaojiu lost Yu Xia, she would be able to have two babies in three years and a few more big fat boys.
She was angry with Xiaojiu. How could she say that even without Yu Xia, she could still give birth to a few fat boys?
If it's not flesh that fell off your body, you won't feel the pain, right?
What made her even more angry was that the reason for choosing her son was that she went to work in the fields on the day she gave birth to Yu Xia? Is that what she was willing to do? It was her mother-in-law who forced her to work in the fields. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t be given any food. What else could she do?
"We have already separated. If we have to draw, it will be your eldest branch. It has nothing to do with our second branch..."
"Xiang Xiaojiu, you can't say that. If we're together, then we only need to draw one of us. If we draw separately, then there will be one more person. Don't go crazy!"
"Am I crazy? It's you who are crazy, okay? You only know how to bully our second branch. You bullied us when the family was divided, and now that the family is divided, you are still bullying us. I just want to ask, Yu Da is your biological child, but Yu Er is not, right?"
…
Yu Laoer was like a piece of mud that could not be helped. Xiang Xiaojiu was arguing with his parents, elder brother and sister-in-law, but he stood by without saying a word. Xiang Xiaojiu was so angry that he picked up a kitchen knife and drove them all out.
Her mother-in-law was still outside the door scolding her for being unfilial.
Xiang Xiaojiu, holding a kitchen knife and with red eyes, turned around and asked Yu Laoer if he wanted to hand over his son too?
Yu Laoer felt aggrieved. He only had this one son, how could he bear to give him up?
"Then why didn't you even fart just now?"
Yu Lao Er stammered, "They are my parents, what can I say?"
Xiang Xiaojiu became even angrier. She married Yu Laoer because she liked his honesty and hard work. After I married him, I realized that although he was honest, being so honest that he could only be "bullied" himself was not necessarily a good thing.
At this time, she would think that it would be better to marry a dishonest man. As long as he can protect his wife and children, no matter what he does, even a gangster is better than him.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
She has already entered the house, so how could she have the chance to regret?
Xiang Xiaojiu was in the yard, sobbing. She asked Yu Laoer what to do?
Yu Laoer said, didn’t she agree?
Xiang Xiaojiu cried even harder. She didn’t agree, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t come and snatch her away.
What if the villagers come to snatch people?
Were the "sacrifices" that the families in the village offered before all willingly?
No, not at all.
Except for those who are particularly cruel and conscienceless, most people are forced.
