After the system ran, I took off with my family

"Miss, Miss, Uncle Xiangzi is a very good man. He just said he would help me redeem myself."

Lin Shuyue curled her lips slightly, turned her head and looked at the somewhat timid Lin Xiang, and smiled slightly: "Right, Uncle Xiangzi?"

"I…"

"Bureau of liberty? Are you being deceived?"

Qingzhi interrupted Lin Xiang without any hesitation and glanced at him with disdain, "Does he have the money to redeem you in this state?"

"Second Miss, Uncle Xiangzi is the aunt of Master Liu from the Liu Mansion in the west of the city. He has the money to redeem me now, and he is a really good person. He has been kind to me since I was a child. He will not lie to me."

Lin Shuyue explained very seriously, looking at Lin Xiang with a touched face, "Right, Uncle Xiangzi?"

Qing He and Qing Zhi looked at Lin Xiang at the same time. Lin Xiang couldn't help shrinking his neck and said awkwardly: "Yes... How could I lie to you?"

"I can redeem her. Give her twenty taels of silver and I can let her go with you right now." Qingzhi looked at Lin Xiang nonchalantly.

"Twenty... twenty taels?"

Lin Xiang took a step back in shock. "Why does a little girl like her want twenty taels of silver? The daughter of Dashuan's family only sells for eight taels of silver! You...you don't even think about deceiving me!"

"Ayue can read and fight, so she is definitely different from other maids. Besides, this was the price we paid when we bought her."

Qingzhi's eyes flashed with disgust, and he sneered, "You don't even have twenty taels of silver, do you?"

"I…"

Lin Xiang's face turned red. Of course he had twenty taels, but he was reluctant to spend so much money to redeem this little girl.

He originally planned to let Taohua ask Master Liu to redeem the girl. Master Liu was very wealthy, and the redemption money for a little maid was nothing in his eyes.

In this way, he could not only get a maid for free, but also stomp Lin An's face to the ground and vent his anger.

"Uncle Xiangzi, please give the money to the young lady quickly, so that I can be free today. I will definitely repay you well."

Lin Shuyue looked at him with bright eyes full of anticipation.

"Well..." Lin Xiang secretly glanced at Qinghe and Qingzhi, and quietly backed away.

"Little girl, I didn't bring that much money with me today. I'll redeem you next time..."

After saying that, he ran away.

"Hey! Uncle Xiangzi! Don't run!"

The louder Lin Shuyue shouted, the faster Lin Xiang ran, and he only put away Erkang's hand when he could no longer see her.

"Puch..."

Qinghe and Qingzhi couldn't help laughing when they thought of Lin Xiang running away in a panic.

Lin Shuyue was in a good mood. After what happened, she wanted to see if he would dare to come near her again.

It's funny to say that when they were in Yunhua Village, the relationship between the two families was very good. Unexpectedly, a famine escape would cause the relationship between the two families to break down, and they even resented their own family. It can only be said that human hearts are unpredictable.

"Let's go back."

Lin Shuyue glanced at the gate of Yanguiju and turned around to get on the carriage.

On the other side, Lin Xiang took many detours and returned to Wumi Lane. Many women in the lane brought small stools and started mending their clothes while chatting with others. The subjects of their conversations moved from one lane to another.

As soon as Lin Xiang entered the alley, someone greeted him.

"Hey, Master Lin is back? What happened to you? Is someone chasing you?"

As he said this, he looked behind him.

Lin Xiang was panting heavily. When he heard the question, he immediately straightened his back, put one hand behind his back, and said slowly: "No, I'm just exercising. My son-in-law said that if people don't exercise, they are prone to health problems."

"Oh, so that's how it is. OK, then you continue to exercise."

The person asking the question didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he just lowered his head and continued with the work at hand.

Lin Xiang didn't want to say much to this group of women, so he swayed into the fourth yard in the alley.

As soon as the gate was closed, the women looked at each other, and then looked towards Lin Xiang's house tacitly.

"Pah, he's still exercising, maybe he lost money gambling and is being chased for debt."

"Even a large water tank can't hold as much as he can. How can a farmer who works in the soil pretend to be a master? He still makes money by selling his daughter."

"Hey, you know what, it would be great if my girl could be favored by some master, and given money and a house, such a good thing is rare.

What a pity! My little girl takes after her father, she is not good-looking. "

The person who spoke was a thin and petite woman sitting at the edge, and she slapped her thigh regretfully as she spoke.

The woman sitting next to her pulled a stool and sat across from her, avoiding her as if she had a contagious disease. The other women in the alley were already accustomed to her words, and they glanced at her with disgust and continued chatting.

The protagonist of their conversation, Lin Xiang, was guzzling tea, and after finishing it, he rudely threw the bowl onto the table.

"What's wrong with you?"

Wang Cui'e, who was clumsily embroidering flowers nearby, looked up at him.

Lin Xiang's eyes rolled and a smug smile appeared on his face, "Hey, guess who I just met?"

"Who?"

"Haha, I met the girl from Lin An's family!" He pulled a stool and sat next to Wang Cui'e, his face full of excitement.

"Guess what? She was sold by Lin An! She became someone else's maid! Hahahaha...

"real or fake?"

Wang Cui'e looked at him in shock and put down the needle and thread in her hand.

"Really? I even saw her masters. They were two young ladies from wealthy families."

Lin Xiang recounted the story of how he met Lin Shuyue, and at the end he shook his head with regret, "It's a pity it's too expensive. If it was seven or eight taels of silver, I would be happy to give it."

After being shocked, Wang Cui'e glanced at him and asked, "Are you so kind?"

"Of course we can't redeem her for nothing. When the time comes, we'll take her indenture and let her serve us."

He rubbed his hands and smiled smugly, "Hey, let me enjoy being served."

Wang Cui'e curled her lips and said, "Stop daydreaming. There are only 26 taels of silver left at home. What will we do then? We will still be served by others.

Besides, don’t go too far, after all, our family and Anzi’s family…”

"Bah! Don't mention him to me! If he hadn't refused to take us on the journey, Da Zi's leg might not have been lame! I will remember this grudge for the rest of my life!"

Lin Xiang's expression changed and he slapped the table angrily, causing the bowls on the table to jump.

"Okay, okay, just don't say anything. Why are you so angry..."

Wang Cui'e's face looked a little bad. She muttered a few words, put away the needle and thread at hand, and went into the room on the left.

After entering the house, she sat by the window in a daze.

She remembered Li's smiling face and the little girl calling her aunt with a smile.

But my son's legs...

It was not easy for them to get to the capital. They had to chew on tree bark and drink mud. After finally getting out of Anqing Prefecture, they encountered soldiers who were conscripting men.

My son's leg was broken when he fled to the mountains to avoid the soldiers, but he accidentally rolled down the cliff.

Fortunately, they met Mr. Liu, who was a businessman traveling abroad. Although he rescued his son in time, his son's leg was still lame. He was only sixteen years old!

If Anzi had taken their family with him that time, maybe things wouldn't have gone wrong...

She sighed faintly, so she was also complaining...
