Before Duan Xiaohe could react, another woman ran out from inside. Seeing Duan Xiaohe, he was immediately stunned.

She remembered that this was the original owner's stepmother, whose surname was Wang.

Although she was called the Queen Mother, she could still be considered as good. There were younger siblings who would have a bite, and there would also be a bite from the original owner, Duan Xiaohe. But now, in her arms, she was crying because this was her biological daughter that was born in October from Lady Wang, how could she be willing to sell it!

"Are you trying to sell me out?"

Lady Wang's face was neither awkward nor awkward, it was extremely awkward. Duan Xiaohe thought of the woman just now, and suddenly remembered that she was the Tusk Lady who often wandered around the village! Turning around, she saw that the person had already left.

The cat in the room stuck its head out. When it saw Duan Xiaohe, its eyes lit up and timidly called out, "Big sister."

He looked at the child in the room, who was so skinny that only his eyes were left. He looked just like a monkey. Then, he touched the little sister who only had a skeleton in her arms, causing Duan Xiaohe's heart to ache fiercely.

"Why did you come back?"

Lady Wang stood at the doorway, and did not say that they would be allowed to enter. Duan Xiaohe frowned, holding onto her little sister Duan Xiaoyue with one hand, and Liu San with the other as he entered the house. There was a piece of paper on the only square table in the room. She walked over and took a look.

It said that the Duan Clan was willing to sell Duan Xiaoyue, who was nine years old, for five silvers to the Fang Clan in the town to be their daughter-in-law. The contract was a death contract, which meant, if Duan Xiaoyue was sent to the Fang family, she would be trapped here for the rest of her life!

Duan Xiaohe placed the indenture contract on the table and glared at the Lady Wang. Do you know what kind of family the Fang family is? Master Fang had married eleven concubines, and each one of them had been tortured to death within a month of entering the door. This little sister was a child's bride in the past? How come I didn't know that Master Fang had a son who could make a child's wife? Mother, you are forcing me to my death! "

The Lady Wang shook, and looked at Duan Xiaohe in disbelief.

"She just said that Master Fang has a four year old son …"

"I always walk around town. How could I not know?" Duan Xiaohe was so angry that she pulled Liu San and asked him: "You always walk around town, and you're also familiar with the Fang family. Say, do you think the old master of the Fang family has a son?"

The Liu San shook his head, "Indeed, I've never heard that he has a son."

Lady Wang shook unsteadily, "Even if Master Fang doesn't have a son, I can still live a good life with him."

Duan Xiaohe was furious, "What are you doing, why haven't you heard what I just said? Are you trying to watch me die in my hands at such a young age!? "

When Duan Xiaoyue heard this, her entire body shivered, and she immediately kneeled down towards Lady Wang.

Mother, I don't want to die. I'm only nine years old." I won't eat anymore in the future, leave my food for my brother to eat, don't sell me to others, wuu.

In the original owner's memory, although Duan Xiaoyue was still young, she knew a lot. After Duan Xiaohe was rejected by the Kan family, the one who took care of her was this little sister. She had the original owner's memories and feelings. Duan Xiaoyue, this child, had always felt pained in her heart.

Seeing that his wife's tears were about to fall, Liu San placed the 10 taels of silver on the table with a 'pa' sound. "The Duan Clan doesn't need to sell off their daughter. This is ten liang. Mother, you should go and return the indenture contract."

Lady Wang were startled, and asked Duan Xiaohe: "Who is he?"

"Liu San."

Lady Wang did not believe it. Previously, when Duan Xiaohe got married, the matchmaker said that the Old Man Liu was not much better off than her own family, but this man was wearing clothes, with all the money in his hands, and also that big green bull outside …

"Stupid girl, did you hide who we're following?" Lady Wang pulled Duan Xiaohe to the side, and lowered her voice as she asked.

was a little annoyed. Her Lady Wang would always be self-righteous and try to guess at others. This was what the original owner hated the most about Lady Zhang.

"He is Liu San."

Hearing this, the two siblings of the Duan Clan stared fixedly at Liu San. Curious, Liu San placed the things in his hands on the table, picked up the indenture contract and looked at it, then shifted his gaze towards Duan Xiaohe.

Duan Xiaohe's heart jumped, Liu San had learned how to read from Qin Rui, although he could not recognize all of the characters, but he could barely recognize a few. Recalling the fact that she could not read at all in this era, would the Liu San be suspicious? Could this Lady Wang be suspicious?

"Mom, your indenture contract has already been imprinted. I'll go find that old woman and get the other one back. You can't sell this little sister out."

F * * k, she just adopted a mother-in-law … Duan Xiaohe was so nervous.

Lady Wang was startled for a moment, and only after being moved by Duan Xiaohe's elbow did she react, and replied somewhat at a loss of what to do. Look at the mess in the house, Young Master must be laughing. "

Then, he picked up a stool and placed it under Liu San's butt, "Sit, you sit."

The Liu San did not stand on ceremony and sat down. Maybe it was because the stool was not strong enough, the moment he sat down the stool collapsed, and the Liu San sat down on the floor with his butt.

Everyone was stunned until the two kids burst out into laughter. Only then did Duan Xiaohe pull Liu San up with a reddened face. Liu San scratched his head and laughed. Seeing him laugh, the two kids laughed even louder.

Liu San took out two packets of pastries from the pile on the table, opened them and gave it to them. The two children looked at each other and didn't dare to answer. Lady Wang looked at the pastries, and fiercely swallowed them down. "Take it, this is what brother-in-law gave you."

Seeing that, Duan Xiaohe took two pieces and stuffed them into his hands, then took another piece and gave it to Lady Wang. Lady Wang's eyes reddened, and took a big bite.

"Fragrant!" "Delicious!"

Seeing that Lady Wang had also eaten, the two children were only willing to eat. After a short while, the bag of pastries was already gone.

"Where's my father?"

Lady Wang let out a sigh, and said that a wealthy merchant had taken a fancy to the mountain behind Fujiang Village, causing the entire mountain to wrap around it. In the village, he called a bunch of strong men to work in the mountains, saying that he would pay them five taels of gold a day. When everyone heard the price, they all went. One day, the old man of the Duan Clan came back in high spirits. He said that if silver mines were to be excavated from the mountains, all of them would be rich! However, the next day, people from the government came over and said that it was a huge crime for the rich merchant to take the silver mine for himself, so they seized the rich merchant and sealed the mountain. However, the village men had never sent out a single cent of their wages. They had gone to ask the government to decide on the return of the wages. As a result, it was obvious that they hadn't managed to get any money and the village men had all been sent to jail.

When Lady Wang talked about this matter, his tears fell, and in a short period of time, completely wiped the tears off his sleeves.

"How many days of work did they do?"

"It's been almost a month."

Duan Xiaohe pinched her eyebrows. This month was also one hundred and fifty gold coins, in a place like theirs, it was definitely enough for four people of the Duan Clan to eat for two to three months. What did the government say? "

Lady Wang squeezed out his tears again, "What can you say? Saying that these mines belong to the imperial government, if you don't report it, you will be beheaded. You are a guilty person to begin with, yet you still want to ask for money?"

This was a f * cking headache. In this feudal society, things like silver mines were controlled by the imperial government, and private individuals could never touch them. It was impossible for the Duan Clan's father to not know of these matters, and it was even more impossible for him to not know of the consequences of not reporting.

How did things turn out like this?

"I have no other choice. Your brother and sister still need to eat, but we don't even have any rice to eat at home. Look at how hungry your little brother is! "

Duan Xiaohe looked at the two, and the two also looked at her. That pitiful look caused her, who was from another world, to feel heartache.

"Take this 10 taels of silver first. I'll think of a way to deal with Father's matter."

Lady Wang's body trembled, "What method do you have?

After saying this, Lady Wang's gaze immediately shifted towards Liu San. He thought back to what the village had told him, that Duan Xiaohe had been crippled by the son of the Kan family who was born from a man whom she married, and even caused her County Government Office to disappear …

Since they were already here, the two of them decided to stay for a meal. Before dinner, he had asked his brother Duan Xiaoshen to bring him to the rich man's house to get the indenture contract back. Even if he had to pay extra two or three taels of silver, he would bring it back.

The Duan Clan's space was small, and the kitchen was pitifully small. The two of them were unable to turn around. Duan Xiaohe put all those things in the kitchen and let Lady Wang go out first. Lady Wang stood there, unmoving, wanting to speak but hesitating for a long time. Finally she asked: "Does this third brother from Liu Family treat you well?"

Duan Xiaohe's hands paused for a moment, then said: "He treats me very well, you have seen it yourself, my days are not bad."

For once, her Lady Wang revealed a sense of comfort towards her, and Duan Xiaohe then said, "I wanted to come here a long time ago, but something came up and delayed me for a while."

"Is it because of that son of the Kan clan?" Lady Wang opened his mouth anxiously, "I was the one who told you about that marriage at that time, but who would have thought that Kan Dashan was such a person! You've only been married for half a month, and someone just happened to come back from the village and say that the Kan family's son isn't dead at all. You aren't a widow at all. My daughter, Mother has let you down. "

"Speaking of Kan Dashan, Duan Xiaohe felt angry. There's no need to mention those kinds of people. "

Lady Wang responded twice, and when he saw the things that she brought home, he couldn't help but ask again. These things were all bought by Young Master? Isn't life in the Liu Family tough, why are you suddenly so rich? "

Previously, it was his second sister who was in charge. My hubby has always been obediently handing over the money that we have in our hands to her. "Now that I've entered the door, and I'm in charge of all his money, he naturally has money."

"I never expected that she would have such skills, and I am quite satisfied with it." That's right, this money should still be held in the hands of our own family, why should we hand it over to his second wife? "

He fried the ham that he brought over into a plate, then made some big white mantou. With two small dishes and some porridge, he waited for Liu San and Duan Xiaoshen to come back for dinner.

Lady Wang and Duan Xiaoyue sat at the side of the table and swallowed their saliva, their eyes couldn't even see anything else. Duan Xiaoshen returned and immediately grabbed Duan Xiaohe's hand when she entered the door. She said that Master Fang was also at that wench's house, and upon hearing that Liu San wanted to take out the indenture contract, he locked up on the spot.
