A poor hero

As soon as she returned to Dongzhen, Shen Qian was happy.

Sometimes Mrs. Xu would take her out to carry things, and she was very familiar with this place.

After getting off the ox cart, she took Chen Chen for a walk.

In the county town, the little girl Shen Qian is reluctant to spend money.

But now that she thinks about going home, she becomes more generous.

She took Chen Chen for a walk around the streets of Dongzhen.

Then she spent fifty cents to buy a pound of pork, five eggs and two live fish.

"Chen Chen, do you think it's okay for me to take these things back to see my mother?"

Shen Qian frowned, thought for a while, and asked.

Chen Chen smiled and said, "There's no such thing as more or less. It just comes to your mind. Even if you bring a banana back, your mother will be happy."

Shen Qian suddenly understood and nodded: "Yes, my mother likes to eat bananas. Let's buy some more bananas."

Zhu Yuanzhang emphasized agriculture and suppressed businessmen, suppressing businessmen to death.

But he never expected that by the time Jiajing arrived, Ming Dynasty's business would develop rapidly.

The seeds of capitalism have already begun.

There are more and more merchants and goods in the market.

Bananas have also changed from a luxury product to something that ordinary people can afford.

So Shen Qian went to the fruit stall and spent twenty coins to buy a handful of big bananas.

However, this big banana does not look very similar to later generations, and may still be a more primitive type.

"Chen Chen, come on, I'll take you home to see my mother."

Shen Qian put the bananas and eggs into the basket Chen Chen was carrying.

Then she walked to Shen Village with Chen Chen carrying fish and pork.

Shencun and Dongcun are not far away, they are two connected villages.

But now East Village has become East Town.

On the road, there were also two young ladies traveling with Chen Chen and the others.

Shen Qian has been out for a long time and doesn't know these two young ladies.

Maybe they got married here after Shen Qian worked.

They didn't know Shen Qian either. When they saw Shen Qian carrying fish and pork, they thought Shen Qian and the others were guests visiting relatives.

So they asked enthusiastically: "Little girl, are you going to Shen Village too? Which one are you going to?"

Shen Qian nodded and responded with a smile: "Hello, two eldest ladies, we are going to Shen Village, and we are going to Shen Dadong's house."

The two young ladies smiled and kindly reminded: "Little girl, you are accompanying your brother on the blind date, so you have to go a little early."

Shen Qian was confused. She was the only daughter in his family.

Could it be that her father wanted to help her go on a blind date?

If so, why didn't she know?

Chen Chen said with a smile: "Thank you two sisters for reminding me, come and have some snacks."

Then he took out the snacks of fried broad beans he had bought in the county town from his backpack.

He opened the lotus leaves and poured a handful of broad beans into the two little ladies.

The two young ladies held broad beans in one hand, picked up a broad bean in the other, and put it into their mouths.

He ate with a "cluck" sound.

"Thank you, young man. These broad beans are so delicious, sweet and crispy. You should buy them from your county!" "

They ate broad beans and became more enthusiastic.

Chen Chen nodded, smiled, and replied: "Yes, we just came from the county. It is fate that we are traveling together. I think the two sisters are quite good people. Are the sisters also from Shen Village?"

The two young ladies looked around and saw no one in front or behind them.

So they lowered their heads, changed their previous attitude, and whispered: "Young man, for the sake of your broad beans, I suggest you go home early. You can't marry this Shen Dadong girl."

"Two good sisters, what's wrong? Is the Shen girl ugly?"

Chen Chen frowned, pretending to be surprised, and then poured another handful of broad beans to the two of them.

While eating broad beans, the two young ladies replied: "Not long after we got married in Shen Village, we have never seen her girl."

Then they looked at Shen Qian and said, "But I heard that the girl is quite beautiful and has a pair of big earlobes. She looks similar to your sister."

"The reason we are talking about is because Shen Dadong is not good enough. If he marries his girl, won't he get into big trouble?"

Although Shen Qian's father was not good to her, she became anxious when she heard others say that her father was not good.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "Sisters, you have to make it clear. Why can't Shen Dadong do this?"

When the two young ladies saw Shen Qian suddenly becoming anxious, they thought that Shen Qian had been deceived by the matchmaker. They didn't know the specific situation of Shen Dadong, so they got angry.

"Little girl, maybe the matchmaker didn't tell you that Shen Dadong is lazy and a bad gambler. He often drinks and beats his wife, who is almost broken by him."

They looked around again and whispered like thieves.

Shen Qian frowned and became anxious, staring at the two young ladies closely, "Sister, are everything you said true?"

When Shen Qian was young, her father also beat his mother, but he did so secretly behind closed doors.

As a child, Shen Qian didn't know. She was only curious about why her mother always had a bruised face and a swollen mouth.

After hearing what these two young ladies said, Shen Qian also understood before they got married.

Her mother had been beaten before, and her father was a complete domestic abuser.

But she still had a bit of luck and wanted to hear the little lady's answer.

"Little girl, we usually see these with our own eyes, and it's not hearsay. How could it be false?"

"As the saying goes, it's better to destroy three temples than ruin a marriage. If we didn't see how nice you are, we wouldn't want to say so much."

"This is all for your own good. Young man and little girl, you should go back. If you end up with this father-in-law, you won't be able to get rid of him."

The two little ladies gritted their teeth and reminded them seriously.

Shen Qian's face was red with anger, she had been away for five years.

She didn't dare to think about how her mother had been living all this time.

"Thank you two sisters, but this girl Shen is so pitiful. I have to save this girl from the fire pit. The worst is that I will never contact Shen Dadong again."

Chen Chen looked at Shen Qian and replied seriously.

"Young man, you are really a good person. If that girl Shen Dadong can marry you, you will be out of trouble."

When the two young ladies heard Chen Chen's answer, they admired Chen Chen even more.

They thought for a while and then said: "Young man, you go quickly. Then Shen Dadong has said that no matter young or old, disabled or not, whoever has more money will marry his girl. There are quite a lot of people coming these days. "

Chen Chen was still wondering these days why Shen Dadong didn't go to find Shen Qian. It turned out that he was planning to sell Shen Qian.

The so-called blind date is just an excuse.

How can a blind date be like this? The one with the highest bargaining price gets it. This is selling a girl.

He quietly made a decision that after marrying Shen Qian, he would bring her mother back to Chenjiacun.

The person Shen Qian talked about the most in front of him was her mother.

Now she hears that her mother is often beaten, which makes her even more sad.

Chen Chen gently patted Shen Qian's shoulder and comforted him: "Shen Qian, everything will be fine. We will take your mother with us then."
