"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Seeing her frowning brows, covering her chest and looking distressed, Song was worried.
What could she say when she looked at her cheap mother? You can’t say anything!
"It's okay. I'm thirsty. Mom, boil me a bowl of hot water and add some ginger. I'm afraid I'll catch typhoid fever."
"Hey, I'll get up right away, get up right away!" My daughter was soaking in the water, and she was so wet that I didn't even think of getting rid of her cold.
As soon as she came out, Zhao Dashu came in.
"How is it? Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?"
"It's okay. Dad, will grandpa still sell me?" Zhao Xiaoyu pinched her thigh hard and looked at her cheap father with tears in her eyes. Playing the victim at this time is the most effective.
Zhao Dashu was heartbroken. Even though she was a girl, she was still his precious baby. "No, no, I won't let you serve a dead old man even if I risk my life. Don't be stupid next time. Don't jump into the river again, understand?"
Zhao Xiaoyu nodded, "Dad, I'm scared. Just now in the main room, the look in my uncle's eyes was so scary. I'm afraid that if you and mom go out to work, he might sell me and Li Xi out if you're not paying attention."
Zhao Dashu was silent.
Zhao Xiaoyu shut up at the right time. If this family wanted to get better, they had to leave the old Zhao family first. From what she remembered, it seemed that as long as the family was not divided, all the money earned would be given to the old lady to manage. If they saved their own money, they would be stabbed in the back.
Giving it to the old woman is like throwing meat buns at a dog, and she will never look back. Moreover, if she knew that they had money and could make money, they would only exploit them desperately. It would be a foolish dream for her to want to divide the family property.
I don’t know if it’s easy to make money in this era. She doesn’t have any special skills. The only thing she can show off is her cooking skills. Why? Because no one cooked for her and eating out was too expensive, she had to cook for herself after moving out of the orphanage. I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine in college because I thought it was a stable profession. However, I quit my job right after graduation. I am only a half-baked expert and have never treated any patient. By the way, she is very good at handicrafts. During college, she made various small handicrafts and sold them on Taobao to earn living expenses and tuition fees.
As far as she could remember, the original owner had never been to any other place except Laozhu Village. She was very inexperienced and pitiful. Alas, she wanted to be a mistress too much. If the family were to split up now, she wouldn't know how she would live in the future. She should just let things take their course and take care of herself first.
"Your uncle will be going to the county town in a few days. As the exam is approaching, he will definitely not stay at home for long. If he dares to hit on you again, I will fight him to the death!" Zhao Dashu said fiercely. Even his elder brother had no right to sell his daughter.
Of course he wouldn't stay long because he complained that his family was poor and the food was bad. Every time he came back, he wanted money, but once he got it, he would steal it. But this time the plan was bigger and he was targeting her.
What is he doing this for? Could it be that Mr. Wang gave a lot of silver? Or did my uncle do something shameful and is short of money?
Humph, no matter why, it has nothing to do with her. If you are short of money, just sell your own daughter. Don't set your sights on her.
"Where's your mother?"
"Make me some ginger tea."
Zhao Dashu nodded. "I'll be watching from outside the door. I beat up your uncle and called a doctor. Come over later and I'll take him to check on you first."
She heard it just now. Good job, Zhao Dawen deserves a beating.
When the doctor entered the Zhao family's door, he was directly pulled into Zhao Dashu's room. Sun followed him and cursed at him, but he turned a deaf ear to her and let her curse him as she pleased, as long as she didn't get tired. He did nothing anyway, but was still scolded every day.
"Doctor, please help my Xiaoyu. She fell into the river today and caught a cold."
The doctor had heard that the Zhao family was going to sell their granddaughter, who had not yet reached the age of marriage, to an old man. This matter was spreading like wildfire in the village, and everyone was talking happily about it under the old tree. When Zhao Dawen's wife came to see him, he actually didn't want to go, but, alas...
"I'll take a look."
Zhao Xiaoyu looked at the doctor and said, wow, he’s an old Chinese doctor, a genuine old Chinese doctor! These generations of Chinese medicine practitioners all have real skills and knowledge.
