"It's okay, it's just a small injury. The bleeding will stop after a while."

Chen Yu looked at Wei Zehan, who was holding her left hand and checking nervously, and felt relieved. This is now in the past. As long as they have this beginning, they can be the same as before.

By the time Zheng Xiang came over with the medicinal powder, Chen Yu's hand was no longer bleeding.

Wei Zehan also returned to his previous attitude, half complaining and half instructing.

"Sister, be careful. Fortunately, the injury is not deep. Cutting off your finger is not a trivial matter."

"Aren't I excited? Why did dad suddenly say that Aunt Huang wants to give her niece to Xiaomi as a child bride? How can Xiaomi be so old and want a child bride?"

Chen Yu's words made Wei Zehan and Zheng Xiang look at him in confusion.

"Sister, what does child bride have to do with Xiaomi's size? Xiaomi is already six years old this year. It's time for him to pay attention to children from good families.

Uncle Xiang, what are your plans? "

Wei Zehan sprinkled the medicinal powder on Chen Yu's hands, and then wrapped Chen Yu's fingers with a clean handkerchief.

Chen Yu looked at Wei Zehan who was clumsily bandaging her and felt a little funny.

"How can I cut the potatoes when they are wrapped like this? The bacon in the pot will start to bubble, and the potatoes should be put into the pot."

Wei Zehan put down Chen Yu's hand and pointed to the place where the fire was burning.

"I'll cut the potatoes and you'll light the fire. Don't use the other hand."

Zheng Xiang knew that the two had reconciled after listening to the conversation between them.

"I haven't arranged Xiaomi's marriage or Xiaoyu's marriage yet. After we settle down, I will report their existence to the lord. Maybe the lord will have other arrangements."

Zheng Xiang said and pulled Xiaomi out of the kitchen, unaware of the shock these words brought to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu looked at Wei Zehan with wide eyes and asked him in disbelief

"Dad, what do you mean? Why should your father make the decision about my marriage? No, I don't want to get married. I have to get married when I'm young. I won't get married."

Chen Yu's excited look made Wei Zehan a little confused.

"Sister, you are already thirteen. 13 is not the right age to meet each other. Women can get married after they are 15. If you are not married after [-], the government will collect taxes."

What, you are not married at [-], and you have to collect taxes. Chen Yu couldn't digest this sentence for a long time, and was on fire like a machine.

I couldn't come back to my senses until it was time to eat dinner.

"Wow, there's meat today. It's bacon and potatoes. It looks delicious."

Xiaomi looked at the food in the iron pot with surprise, and couldn't help but swallow it. She didn't even notice Chen Yu's distraught appearance.

Since there was only one bowl, they simply didn't use the bowl and started eating with the chopsticks Wei Zehan had just made today.

Chen Yu ate the potatoes absent-mindedly, his eyes drifting towards Zheng Xiang unconsciously. Zheng Xiang ignored him at first, but Chen Yu did not restrain himself at all, and kept talking more and more frequently.

"Xiaoyu, if you have something to say, why are you looking at me like this? Do you not want Xiaomi to have a child bride? Don't worry, I don't have this intention either.

I will find a way to refuse Aunt Huang. "

"Dad, I'm not getting married. I, I, I'm getting married at twenty, yes twenty."

Chen Yu was afraid that Zheng Xiang would disagree, so he continued

"If the government fines you money, I'll pay it. Dad, don't be in a hurry to marry me off. I'm still young."

Zheng Xiang looked at Chen Yu inexplicably, wondering why she was talking about getting married and saying that she was getting married at twenty.

"I don't want you to get married now, but after you settle down, given your age, you should definitely put this matter on the agenda.

You reminded me well, otherwise I would have forgotten that you are already thirteen this year. "

No, how could she be a reminder? Now Chen Yu feels like he shot himself in the foot.

"Dad, does my body match Thirteen? After a few years of raising him, you should at least let me come to Kuishui to discuss this matter."

Chen Yu thought about it for a long time before he came up with Kuishui's excuse. With her malnourished body, if she didn't take good care of herself for five or six years, it would be impossible to come to Kuishui.

Five or six years later, Xiaomi has grown up. She is secretly getting a fake household registration to escape. She has no intention of getting married in ancient times.

With her status, she could marry anyone. She might not even be able to be a real wife, but could only be a concubine. No, she couldn't, absolutely not.

As soon as the words "Kui Shui" came out, Zheng Xiang couldn't say anything else. After all, it was a private matter of the girl's family. How could he, a bachelor, know this? It seemed that he still wanted to find a mother for them.

Wei Zehan had heard someone say that the sign of a woman becoming a woman is coming to Kwai Shui, so Chen Yu couldn't get married without coming to Kwai Shui. This thought made Wei Zehan feel relieved for some reason.

"Uncle Xiang, can Aunt Huang make the decision on such a big thing as letting Xiaomei be a child bride? Will her parents agree?"

Wei Zehan wanted to ask about this before, but Chen Yu's hand was injured, making him forget about it.

Zheng Xiang picked up a piece of potato and put it in his mouth, saying meaningfully

"Xiaomei's mother and her father have reconciled, regardless of Xiaomei's life or death. As for Xiaomei's father, he was thrown into prison for bumping into a nobleman.

Judging from Aunt Huang's words, Xiaomei's father has been imprisoned for five years, and when he visited again not long ago, he was told that Xiaomei's father died in the cell due to a sudden illness. "

When Chen Yu heard this, he was so frightened that he dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground, stumbling and saying

"If you attack a nobleman, will you go to jail or five years?"

No, what kind of rule is this? She hasn't learned it in history class. Xiaomei's father should be a good citizen, not a slave. How can even good people in this dynasty be unsafe? Fortunately, she still wants to leave after the age of 20. Now it's time to leave. Coming or leaving is a dead end.

"There has never been such a provision in the laws of this dynasty. How could Xiaomei's father be in jail for five years? And now there is no body.

What do the officials of Yongzhou City do for a living? They do this without fear of being discovered. "

Wei Zehan looked in the direction of Yongzhou City with disgust. At first glance, the officials here looked like they were in the same den as the bandits, snakes and rats. They did not care about the people, but they even held up a fig leaf to make the people think that the government was good.

"Ozawa is right. There is no such law at all. Those people must have some reason for doing this. As for the reason, I am still thinking about it now."

Although Zheng Xiang said this, he already had the answer in his heart. He asked Aunt Huang indirectly that there were no cases of missing teenagers in Yong'an Village, including the nearby villages.

If there are no missing teenagers, then where will the mining people come from? They cannot be kidnapped from other places. This is a waste of time and energy. In this case, the only people who want to have people to mine are the helpless people in prison.

Even if those people die in prison, no one will notice. They can just find an excuse to say that they died of illness and they can explain to their superiors.
