Yunling kept the money calmly.
With the old man taking the lead, the rolling lantern business gradually flourished.
Some people see that buying two is a full ten cents cheaper, and they intuitively feel that they have taken a huge advantage. If they don't buy two, they feel that they are losing money. Others are smart and buy them together and then divide them up.
It was very lively in front of Duan Sigeng's stall.
Yunling stuffed the one dollar of silver into his money pocket and dragged Lao Qi away.
Hidden strength and name.
They walked to the river.
"Old Qi, do you want to buy a lamp and make a wish? It is said that the River God will choose a few to come true every year. You may be the lucky one!"
"Why don't you allow it, Miss?"
Yunling thought for a while and said: "My wish is being realized, there is nothing to wish for."
Lao Qi said: "Me neither."
His was left in the past, and there was no need for it.
The two of them just sat on the steps, watching the lanterns in the river rise and fall, swirling with the waves.
Yunling urged again: "Old Qi, look at my grandfather and granddaughter, and you are still single. How miserable it is. If you ask me, you should find a wife and have a baby while you are young. Or raise a dog and experience different joys of life, so that your life will not be in vain when you are old."
When their family was laughing and having fun, Lao Qi would always lean against the door alone in a daze, looking really lonely.
So what if you are older? Even as you get older, you have the right to choose happiness.
Lao Qi looked at the rippling lake water and said slowly: "I have."
What?
Yunling didn't understand.
"I was once married and had a child," he said.
Yunling looked at him in surprise, "What about them?"
She immediately regretted what she said, but didn't know how to take it back.
But he saw Lao Qi looking away and looking at the unknown stars in the sky, "He's dead. He died when he encountered bandits."
"Lao Qi..."
Inexplicable sadness enveloped the two of them, and Yunling didn't know how to comfort him.
At this time, I suddenly heard someone in the distance shouting loudly, "The child is being snatched, the child is being snatched, help, come and save!"
The two of them ran towards the other end.
Traffickers deserve to die!
I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties running with a little girl on his back, and behind him was a woman and a group of people chasing him.
The melon-eaters swarmed forward and blocked the people in the street. "How can you snatch other people's children? Release them quickly, or I will arrest you and report you to the police!"
"Human traffickers deserve to be beaten to death!"
The middle-aged man allowed others to insult him without saying anything back. He just turned around and faced the woman who was chasing him, his eyes cold.
The shouting woman stepped forward quickly and slapped the man's arm hard, "Li Da, put my daughter down quickly. I have already engaged her and will get married tomorrow. Don't harm her innocence!" "
The man was unmoved and stared at her coldly: "What kind of good family you are, you can express it."
The woman put her hands on her hips like a teapot, "You don't care what kind of family I promised her? They can give me eighteen taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and that's to hire her back to be a young mistress. What does it have to do with you? You want to make a fool of yourself here?" .”
Seeing that he didn't understand what was going on with her, the man turned around and said to the crowd: "I'm not robbing someone else's girl. This is my step-brother's daughter. I treat her as my own daughter. This is the child's biological mother, but she herself After my sworn brother left, he started hooking up with others, married someone else a few years ago, and never took care of the child again."
"Even if I get married, I'm still her mother! Besides, my parents-in-law have died of illness. What's wrong with me making the decision for my daughter to find a good family? Do I still want to stay in this town and let you, an old guy, cause trouble? Bah!
You old thing, why do you treat me like a daughter, when you think I don't know your dirty thoughts? It’s just because my daughter is old enough to get married and have children. You, an old guy who has no money to pay a bride price, want to have sex for nothing? I tell you no way! Give up this attachment as soon as possible. "
After hearing this, Yunling felt that this woman was not a good person.
In words, her daughter is like an object that can be exchanged for money. As long as the price is right, she can just sell it.
Well, not a good bird.
She chose to continue listening.
The middle-aged man blushed, trembling his lips and said: "I swear to God, I have no intention of doing this. I just don't want to see this child pushed into the fire pit by her mother. This vicious woman sold the child to Cui from the next county. Master, you are here to be a concubine, not to get married!"
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
"Oh my God, it looks like the person on your back is still a child, isn't it? Then Master Cui is Cui Yongfu from the next county, he is over sixty!"
"Hey, this old man and his young wife are not happy with such a big gap."
"You guys know nothing. Do you know that Mr. Cui's family has more than ten concubines? This one with eighteen taels is probably the newly released eighteen-bedroom concubine?"
"Yao Shou, I don't know how many yellow-flowered girls are brought into Mr. Cui's family every year, and I don't know how many are carried out throughout the year! It is said that those who are tired of playing are sold to the fireworks field, and those who play to death are given a straw mat. The Cui family is not a good place to send mass graves."
The way everyone looked at the woman changed.
The woman was also annoyed and shouted to the person behind her: "Stop talking nonsense to him, quickly snatch him back and send him to Cui's house. I am her mother, let me see who dares to stop me!"
Indeed, no one dared to step forward to stop him.
These days, the younger generation has to listen to their elders. Whether it is a marriage proposal or being sold into slavery, the younger generation cannot resist at all, let alone the outsiders passing by, who have no possibility of helping.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the middle-aged man sent the person he was carrying forward, grabbed the stick on his side and began to dance.
It was a very lively meal, but the man the woman brought couldn't do anything to please him, and he was afraid of being beaten, so he froze in place for a while.
And Yunling also froze, hugging the person in her arms speechlessly, trying hard to help the person stand firm.
She is also a child. Does she look like she can be trusted?
A man behind the woman seemed obedient. When he saw his target beside Yun Ling, he immediately ran towards the two of them.
If this is taken away by others, this girl will really have no choice but to be a concubine.
When Yunling thought that this girl who seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old was going to be a concubine for an old man in her sixties, she not only felt sick in her heart, but she also felt angry.
Damn it, Mr. Cui, it would be better if you never do anything in this life and the next!
She gritted her teeth angrily and shouted, "Lao Qi!"
"Hey!"
Following her order, Lao Qi walked towards the man with bare hands. As soon as he stretched out his legs, he fell directly to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
The combat effectiveness is really too bad.
Yunling was happy to see it, and the back of her hand suddenly felt cold.
I saw a tear falling from the little girl's eyes, but she bit her lip and did not dare to cry.
Stubborn and heartbreaking.
Yunling asked: "Of those two people, are you really your mother and the other your biological father's adopted brother?"
The little girl nodded.
Yunling smiled at her, "Then who do you want to follow? Tell me and I will help you find a way."
The little girl pointed to one of them.
