I was stolen by a bird to be my wife

Flocks of heavy snow, rustling and falling.

It was clearly not long after nightfall, but it seemed to be quiet in the middle of the night.

Suddenly, in the south of the moon city, under a thatched roof, a man turned over and sat up, shouting in surprise:

"I'm not in debt anymore? I'm not in debt anymore!"

The woman next to him woke up startled, rubbing her eyes and patting the child sleeping between the husband and wife. On one side of the ground, there were a seven or eight-year-old sibling, and a three- or four-year-old sibling, lying together in the straw on the ground, murmuring sleepily. Not sober yet.

The woman hummed a few hypnotic tunes. Seeing that the child didn't intend to wake up, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a hoarse voice:

"Don't you have to go to the pier tomorrow to move the goods? You have a bad waist, why don't you take advantage of this evil to be quiet and sleep for a while."

"What are you afraid of!" The man was still excited, "In the house, I won't go to the pier tomorrow. Since we don't have to pay off next month's debt, let's figure it out and repair the roof early, so as not to be like last year's house again. It was crushed by the heavy snow... and the windows and door panels, if they should be pasted with paper, they should be pasted with paper, and if they should be blocked with mud, they should be blocked with mud."

"It's up to you..." The woman yawned and said slowly before she realized, "Wait, what do you mean you don't have to pay the debt?"

"No need to pay it back! Didn't you hear that in the room! Didn't Goddess God tell you?!"

The woman stared and thought for a while, then gasped and remembered.

"I had a dream just now. Although I can't remember it clearly, it seems that there is indeed a fairy lady who told me that I don't have to pay back the debt... That's right, it's true, it's true that there is no need to pay back."

Strangely, the moment she recalled the dream, the woman believed the words in the dream.

The husband and wife both felt that there were several mountains on their shoulders, so they put on their wings and flew away.For a while, I even felt that this thatched wooden house full of urine, feces, sweat, and humidity was much cleaner and brighter.

"No...it's snowing outside, so it's so bright." Looking outside, the smile on the woman's face immediately disappeared, "No wonder it feels so cold, what should I do, I haven't given these three little ones yet. The guy changed his winter clothes..."

Sad clouds also hit the man's head, but he quickly showed his face and patted his wife's arm.

"Since you don't have to pay off your debts, why don't you buy new ready-made clothes this year?"

"How expensive is that!" The woman said angrily, "If you really want new clothes, why don't you ask me to make a few feet of old cloth... New steps are also fine."

"New clothes, do you want to buy new clothes?"

On the ground, the older sister finally woke up, her eyes lit up when she heard a few words in a daze.

The woman who was about to quarrel with her own man and accused him of not being frugal, saw the joyful expression of the eldest daughter through the snow outside the house, and swallowed back the sharp words.

Even so, she still has to show off:

"Okay, okay, go to sleep."

The man patted her again and said:

"First calculate how much money we have left, we need copper coins to buy window paper."

The woman grunted in response, got out of bed and lifted up the rag mattress, rummaged through the moldy straw underneath, and lifted a small sack from under a loose wooden board.

When the sack shook slightly, it jingled.My sister got up and closed the windows that had been blown a few holes by the wind, and the men and women counted the copper coins in the dark.

After counting a few, the man's voice suddenly became louder.

"Why is that all?!"

The woman's voice followed suit.

"Of course that's all! Did you forget? Our family bought food for Wanli!"

The man's voice weakened again, and he continued:

"Ah, yes, ah, yes."

Wanlihao can be regarded as one of the top grain merchants in Queyue City. To be a grain merchant these days, you must have great skills.The biggest skill of its family is that it has never run out of food in recent years.When other grain shops in the village could not receive grain, his family was able to produce rice grain.

So the Wanli suddenly started selling daily rations a few days ago, saying that they paid a sum in advance, and after a full season, they could get a sum of rice rations every day or every two or three days.

This sounds no different from single-buy, and even worse than single-sale, because it costs a lot of money to order a full season, and the people in Jiangbei have almost no savings, so how can they afford this money.

However, if the rice grain price given by Wanlihao is divided into [-] days on average, it will be nearly one-third cheaper than buying bulk rice grain.

That's a huge savings!

There are many people who are moved, and so is this family, so I had to borrow another debt to make up enough.

The man thought for a while, then said in a weak voice:

"It can't be helped. Rice and food are still important. And the debt owed to make up the money doesn't have to be repaid now. Calculated, we still took advantage of it.

"The window paper is temporarily put down, and I can ask someone for some straw. After finishing it tomorrow, I will go and see if there are any long-term workers."

The woman cleaned the copper coins back into the small sack one by one, and said hello in a low voice.

It was rare for them to fall asleep with a little expectation when they suddenly heard a clanging sound.

The child lying between the husband and wife woke up startled, and opened his mouth to cry.The woman quickly picked up the child, and just about to sing something, she heard bang bang bang bang bang again.

"A tank in the yard!"

The younger brother woke up and yelled.

Fang Lie's sister rushed over to open the door, but didn't see anything clearly, so she groaned.

Something smashed in and hit her foot.My sister bent down to grab it, and caught a cold hand.

"Ice... Mommy, it's ice!"

"Hail is falling!" The man realized, "It's clearly October!"

As soon as the words fell, the dilapidated thatched roof was smashed through by a series of hailstones, and a clay pot in the house was also damaged.

"Quick, put the bowl under the bed!" The woman shouted immediately, and the whole family started to move in the dark.

Thatched roofs are of little use in hailstorms, but at least they still have a roof.This family is already considered a surviving family in Keyue City, and at this moment they are even fortunate that they have a wooden bed that can protect the bowls and bowls.

But before they could pack up, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

It was the neighbor's aunt in the same courtyard who slammed on the door of his house against the hail.

"Master Zhou! Mrs. Zhou! Come out, something has happened!"

What's up?hail?

The man opened the door to ask, but before he could say anything, the neighbor's aunt said like a cannonball:

"Your family also bought seasonal food from Wanlihao's family, didn't they?"

The Zhou family was still recalling this matter just now, the man immediately nodded and said:

"I bought it, why?"

The neighbor's aunt said sharply:

"The big thing is bad! Wanli used the season grain money we paid to make a loan, and now all the debts are gone, they can't get back the money, and there is no rice for us!"

The woman poked her head out from behind her man, her voice was equally shrill.

"No rice? Our family has paid for it! It's his family's business if they don't get back the loan. How can we not give us rice!"

"That's right!" said the neighbor's aunt, "We have to go to the grain store of Duwanli, and ask them for an explanation! Do you want to go to your house?"

"Go, go!"

Both the man of the Zhou family and the wife of the Zhou family said that they ignored the hailstorm just like the neighbor's aunt, and rushed out without even leaving a word to the three children in the house.

Seeing the parents leave, the elder sister maturely picked up the younger brother who was still crying, and wanted to hide in the corner of the bed with the second brother. The roof here is stronger than other places, so it is not easy to be smashed.

There would be the joy of new clothes, which has dissipated.Seven or eight-year-old girls worry about their next meal.

It doesn't matter, at least there is a place to live.

Hearing the tinkling of hailstones, she recalled the days when she could only hide in the ruined temple a few years ago, and felt a little relieved.

Unexpectedly, the sound of her parents' footsteps hadn't completely gone away, when suddenly someone kicked open the gate of the entire yard.

The light from the torch illuminated the window, and through the hole in the paper on the window, my sister saw several yamen servants rushing in.

"Everyone in the yard, come out!" the servants shouted.

They shouted loudly:

"Your landlord wants to take back the yard, everyone, bring your belongings, get out of here!"
