Chapter 365 Life-saving Money

"Originally, I was thinking that after the New Year, I would go to the pawnshop to buy a little maid for each of you. Since Fubao bought a younger brother himself, forget about you three. Then go to the pawnshop with grandma and choose one for yourself. How about that? The little girl will always need someone to serve her. Now that we are not short of money at home, we must not raise children like the villagers do."

On the way back.

Zhang Jinlan said to her granddaughters.

"Grandma, you don't have to buy it for us. I'm old enough now and can take care of my sisters. Please save some money for Fubao."

Jiang Wangyou shook his head.

He immediately refused.

"Big sister, this is your home too, don't be embarrassed. You are so distant, don't you think of this place as your home? But I still think of you as my dear big sister~

You are all my sisters. What I have, you must have too. Don’t refuse. Grandma, since you have nothing to do during the New Year, why don’t you go to the dental clinic to buy some for you sisters tomorrow? "

Jiang Fubao held Jiang Wangyou's hand, looking very domineering.

She knew very well what Jiang Wangyou was feeling and felt very embarrassed.

She felt that she was living in her grandparents' house and eating and drinking for free. After all, she was much older than her two younger sisters, and it would take her a few years for them to meet other people.

I think a lot.

The long-standing ideas are deeply rooted.

I feel that my maternal grandparents’ family is my in-laws’ family.

Not your own home.

Although he didn't say it.

But on weekdays, she was the one who refused the things that the other four sisters had the most.

Every time, grandma would persuade me for a long time, and even have a stern face.

She will agree.

"You silly child, the dental shop is closed during the New Year. I'll find time after the New Year and take them there to buy something." Zhang Jinlan smiled helplessly.

The carriage moved forward at a steady pace.

The snow was getting heavier.

We finally arrived in town at the end of noon.

The snow at this time is so deep that it can sink into the upper of your shoes when you step on it.

Return home.

Zhang Jinlan sent Chun'er to take her younger brother downstairs to wash and change clothes.

There are no maid clothes that are this small in the house.

Jiang Fubao gave Chun'er some of her old clothes from when she was three years old.

The materials are all of the best quality.

Shoes too.

She no longer wears them.

There is no younger sister in the family.

It's a waste to just leave it there.

It’s better to let your younger brother wear it.

In the afternoon, Jiang Fubao sat at the small desk in her room, holding a pen and writing and drawing on paper.

Finally, he drew a circle on the two words "Xuehuan".

"Huan" and "huan" are homophones.

I bought a brother on a snowy day, hoping that she could exchange his life in the future.

If she was loyal and obedient, when she reached the age of maturity, he would let her go and marry her, and he would give her a dowry.

If she doesn't want to get married, she can always stay by my side.

Jiang Fubao looked at the snow scene outside the window.

Thinking silently.

At the same time.

A couple arrived at the city gate of Baishui Town.

The man bowed and nodded to ask the officer if he had found a baby girl, as his daughter was missing.

There were two obvious slap marks on the woman's face and her eyes were swollen from crying. She stood aside in silence.

"What's your daughter's name?" Coincidentally, the person the man asked was Yao He. His eyes flashed and he asked with a cold face.

"My daughter's name is Huan Di, Yu Huan Di, she's three years old this year, and she's very pretty. Yesterday, this jerk, ahem, my wife, brought her here to watch the Lantern Festival, but she went back alone.

Damn it, I forgot my daughter at the lantern festival. I wonder if the official can help me find my daughter. I love her so much. If she is really lost, how can I live in the future?"

The man's mouth was anxious.

In fact, my eyes are cloudy.

His mouth reeked of alcohol as he spoke.

It looks like he just woke up from a hangover.

People are all confused.

"The lantern festival was full of kidnappers. How could she get lost if she didn't take good care of her? She can't be found. From last night until now, almost all the people who came to watch the lantern festival have left. Your daughter can't be found."

Hearing the names, Yao He was sure that they were his brother's parents.

After all, the little girl looked so much like the woman in front of me.

“Pah—”

"You bastard, you lost my fortune tree. When we get back, I'll beat you up, bastard!"

As soon as Yao He finished speaking, the man slapped the woman hard.

The force is particularly strong.

The woman was knocked to the ground.

Also kept silent.

It seems he is used to being beaten.

"stop!"

"You commit crimes in broad daylight, in front of us? Do you want to go to jail?" Yao He kicked the man in the chest.

Then he drew his sword.

The man was almost scared to death.

"I, I beat my wife, so what? Every family in the village beats their wives like this. Officer, please be magnanimous and spare me. I'm leaving now."

Hearing that Yao He was going to take him to jail.

The man didn't care about the pain.

Run away.

He doesn't even care about his wife.

After the people walked away, the woman struggled to get up from the ground. She patted the snow water on her buttocks, rubbed her red hands, lowered her head, and prepared to return to the village.

"Wait." Yao He called her.

"Huh?" The woman was stunned and slowly turned her head.

He looked at Yao He with confusion in his eyes.

"Take this money and hide it. Don't take it out. It's life-saving money and also the money for your daughter to sell herself. She was bought by a good family. Although she became a slave, the family is very kind. I will have enough food and warm clothes in the future."

Yao He told her what Jiang Fubao had said, then he took out the money Jiang Fubao had given him from his pocket, and added another half tael to give the woman two taels of change.

As for the ten copper plates, he did not take them.

After preparing to return to Chang'an Town, I went to a stall to eat a bowl of mutton soup noodles to warm myself up.

Exactly ten cents.

"Hey, hey, thank you, old official. Can you tell me where my daughter is? No, you can't tell me. Since my brother can live a good life, he should just pretend that I don't exist as his mother. I feel sorry for her. I brought her into this world, but I couldn't protect her. I don't want the money. I can't sell my daughter."

The woman stood there in a daze.

It took me several seconds to react.

She dropped to her knees in the snow.

He didn't care whether his knees were cold or painful, and he began to kowtow to Yao He.

As for the silver in Yao He's hand, she didn't even look at it.

"You have to take this money even if you don't want it. It was left to you by your daughter's master. The law clearly states that a woman can divorce her husband. If she can't bear it anymore, you can divorce her.

Even if you make trouble in the county government, the magistrate will help you. The new magistrate is a good official. Here, take this money. You can start over in another place. No matter how bad it is, it will be better than now. I won’t say anything else.”

Yao He felt sorry for the woman in front of him.

Said a few more words.

After saying this, he threw the silver in front of the woman, then mounted his horse and rode away.

The couple arrived at a coincidental time.

He was just about to leave.

The snow is getting thicker and if we don't move on, we'll be stuck on the road.

The broken silver was buried deep in the soft snow.
