"Hey, let me tell you, your wife is not holding back her farts. I'm afraid she's going to sell the girl to a brothel!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Tan Shuya was anxious.

"Hey! I'm telling you this with good intentions, but don't be ungrateful! I see it for real! If I didn't feel sorry for this girl, I wouldn't tell you!"

"real?!"

"How could this be false? Don't you know who that woman is? She was talking to your husband for a long time. She also found the village chief's son and asked him to write something and put his fingerprints on it. How could it be wrong?"

"How dare he..." Tan Shuya sat on the ground. Li Da Niu stared blankly, what does it mean? Is he asking me to go with that mother-in-law? "Why not? Seeing how happy Li Yin is, the money must be there!"

Tan Shuya was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out three copper coins from her clothes and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"

The woman pushed it away, then accepted it. "You have to think of a way quickly! He has pressed his handprint, so this thing will probably be done! But I see that the woman went back, and it doesn't seem like she gave the money. The money and goods haven't been settled yet, so who knows... But I've heard about that woman, she's not someone you can easily mess with! If your damned guy agrees and wants to change his mind, she'll break his legs. Well, I'm leaving first... Alas!"

Tan Shuya looked at her daughter, tears streaming down her face. "No, your father won't sell you to that woman. He won't be so cruel..."

But Li Danniu was thinking in her heart: If I follow that mother-in-law, will I be able to wear clothes like hers?

Can I wear flowers? That's not bad, why is my mother crying?

…

In the evening, Li Yin came back and got two pieces of sorghum candy from somewhere. He handed them to his daughter with a smile.

Li Danniu tasted it once, and she felt that she would never forget the taste, so she grabbed it in her hand! Li Yin laughed. "Do you like it?"

Li Danniu didn't even look at her mother's frightened face, but carefully put a piece of it into her mouth, "Well, I like it, it's delicious."

Li Yin didn't even look at his wife. He actually went to boil some hot water himself, and came out and said to Tan Shuya, "Wash her! Look how dirty she is!"

Tan Shuya wanted to beg her husband, but she was too nervous to speak. And she knew that it was useless to beg him now! She took Li Danniu to take a bath.

After eating the candy, Li Danniu took a hot bath and felt very comfortable, giggling.

A small face, like a flower.

The next morning, Li Yin said again, "I'll go chop wood today. Don't let her go. She's so young and her hands are already hurt. I've never seen a mother like you! Lazy woman!" She cursed and went out.

Tan Shuya didn't sleep all night. She watched her daughter, who was happy that she didn't have to work today, carefully eating the candy that she didn't want to eat yesterday. She thought blankly for a while, and finally stood up, dug behind the house for a long time, and found about thirty copper coins.

She gritted her teeth, took a few, went to buy some braised pork, and poured half a pot of wine. She knew her husband couldn't drink much.

Li Yin came back from chopping wood and was very happy to see wine and meat at home. "How come you are so sensible?" He praised his wife, which was rare.

"I'm happy to see that you love your daughter and don't lose your temper anymore!" Tan Shuya said gently.

"Hehe! I won't scold her anymore!" This is a cash cow.

With her appearance, she will definitely be able to make it there. By then, she will have no worries about food and drink if she is given anything. If she can hook up with an official, hehe...

Li Yin was not polite and finished his meal and drink alone. He was drunk immediately and started to talk more: "You gave birth to such a good daughter, who is so sensible, I won't treat you too badly! I originally thought that after I got the thirty taels, I would marry another virgin. But now I think it's not easy to marry someone like you. Forget it! Hurry up and give me more children. A son will inherit the family line. A daughter... Hehe, raising more can make a lot of money! Why didn't I think of it before?! If I had known, I wouldn't let her do such heavy work. With good hands and feet, I can get at least twenty more taels! Alas..." He leaned over and fell asleep like a dead pig.

Tan Shuya knew where her husband hid his money. She looked through it and found only a few dozen coins in his pocket.

He put on his only two clothes, made a pair of shoes that he was reluctant to wear, and tied them around his waist. He also packed the things for Li Danniu. After thinking for a while, he carried a basket, took out the necessary things, and covered it with straw. Then he picked up the axe and said, "Let's go!"

The two people walked out of the small village without looking back.

Li Danniu knew that her mother was going to take her away. She was not afraid at all. Although she was a little nervous, she was more excited.

The scenery along the way was something she had never seen before. Her eyes were shining...

I walked from noon to night and stayed in a hidden temple for the night.

The following countless days were like this. They only had a few dozen copper coins and were reluctant to spend them. They ate if they could get some food, but if they couldn't, they would go hungry. Their feet were tied with grass to prevent them from being harassed. Tan Shuya made the two look like beggars, and the stench was overwhelming.

Li Da Niu didn't cry or make a fuss, didn't complain or say she was tired, and just followed her mother silently!

In this way, they walked all the way to the river. Li Danniu looked at the river, which was so wide that she could not see the end. The river wind blew and the birds flew. She grinned and laughed, "Mom, look! It's so beautiful here!"

Tan Shuya was relieved, "Your maternal grandfather's family moved here from Huaishan. He told us the route and said that your ancestors were wealthy. Let's go there. With the protection of our clansmen, mother can support you. No matter what, we can't let your father find us."

They found a secluded spot by the river and took a bath. They threw away their torn clothes and shoes and put on the ones they brought with them. At least they were clean and tidy enough for others to talk to them.

I asked a lot of people, and they all asked for a few taels of silver...

Tan Shuya's face turned pale, but she turned around and looked in the direction of the Li family, and finally nodded.

…

This was the first night on board.

Li Da Niu covered her ears, not knowing what happened, but she knew it was not a good thing. Moreover, different people would bully her mother next...

When they got off the boat, the mother and daughter were exhausted and collapsed on the dock.

The boat owner seemed quite satisfied and casually threw food and some change to them.

She walked for many days. She begged and stole along the way. Her mother hid her and went out by herself. Sometimes, she would take some food and copper coins, and sometimes, she would take nothing and be covered in wounds.

She didn't say anything and Li Danniu didn't ask.

Finally, we arrived.

But when they asked around, an old man kindly told them: The Tan family has few descendants. Some have gone to Beijing to serve as officials, and some have moved away. There are almost no people left in the local area! Tan Shuya almost fainted when she heard the news.

As a result, someone nearby laughed after hearing this, "You are really getting old and confused. What is the surname of the wife of the current head of the Bai family? She is the only descendant of the Dingzhou branch. When she married into the Bai family, her great grandfather made the decision, and all the property of that branch belonged to her!"

When the old man heard this, he slapped his head and said, "Who dares to think about the Bai family so easily! There is a Fengxiang Villa more than 200 miles away, on the mountain in Xijing City, it is very big. If you really get married to the Bai family, you will definitely be rich and powerful!"

Someone else said, "Don't give me any advice! Who is the Bai family? Can they just claim to be my relative? Not to mention the head of the family... just the two of them can't even see the girl next to him!"

Li Da Nv, that was the first time I heard of the Bai family.

When they arrived in Xijing, the mother and daughter were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a prosperous place.

Li Danniu adapted faster than Tan Shuya. Despite her young age, she looked at everything and everyone carefully.

There were many women and girls walking on the street. Their clothes made the old woman wearing flowers look like a toad! It was the right choice!

She was very excited and made a secret decision!

I, I want to live like this too!

The two men arrived in front of the villa and talked for a long time, but the gatekeeper didn't listen and even wanted to beat them.

There was no other choice but to stay in the nunnery first, helping them clean and asking about the Bai family. After waiting for two months, they heard that the head wife of the Bai family was coming back from her villa on the Lishui River and would pass by their place.

So Tan Shuya quickly asked her daughter to wash up. Li Danniu didn't need her mother's help, she washed herself and combed her hair. She followed her mother and waited at the roadside.

After waiting for a while, a group of people came over.

Behind the eight mounted guards followed a small carriage, pulled by two donkeys with pink noses and black hooves, with a white carved body and an open roof. A woman with a high bun and a veil sat on it.

Tan Shuya shouted excitedly: "Madam Bai! I am a descendant of the Tan family. I have been stranded here. I hope you will have pity on me and take me in!"

Her voice was shrill, and she pulled Li Danniu to her knees. The woman heard it and shouted, "Stop the car!"

That was the most beautiful sound Li Danniu had ever heard in her life.

She looked up stupidly. It was the fairy she had imagined in her mind when she was listening to stories. No, it was even more...she couldn't describe it.

There was something stuck in her towering bun that she couldn't even tell what it was. It was so beautiful!

She had two long curved eyebrows and a pair of big eyes, but she was covered by a veil, so her features could not be seen clearly.

Sitting in the car... that scene seemed to require thousands of words to describe, but she couldn't say a single word.

In short, even the donkey pulling the cart was cleaner and prettier than her.

The woman's phoenix eyes looked over and asked, "Who's kneeling?"

"My ancestors were from the Huaishantan family. They later moved away. My husband died and I am the only daughter. Life is hard for me, so I want to come here to trace my roots and ask the family to take me in!"

The woman thought for a moment and said, "I have heard of the Huaishantan family... Since they are from the clan, how can I not help them? Take them back!"

For Mrs. Bai, taking in the mother and daughter was not a piece of cake; it just took her a few words.

However, before she died, she realized that the downfall of the Bai family was due to the fact that they had let a wolf into the house today.
