I took the imperial examination in the red building

Sitting behind the screen, Lin Huan was startled.

[Sweetheart: Ah, is it easy to get divorced in this era? 】

[Research on ancient literature: Let alone divorce, in fact, it is very difficult to get married, and after the divorce, most of the children will be with the man. That is to say, if Tan and Wang Juren divorce, their sons and daughters will be married Wang Juren is very likely. 】

[Cabbage Tofu Brain:! !Why?We're divorced and can't have children?Then if Tan's daughter is found, Wang Juren must hate this daughter to death, right?It will definitely be sold again. 】

[Speechless: So angry, so angry, so angry, is there no other way? 】

[Research on Ancient Literature: It depends on how Tan fights for it. He will definitely go to court, and it also depends on how Father Lin judges. 】

When Lin Huan heard that he had something to do with his father, he immediately pricked up his little ears in doubt.

The previous dispute between Wang Juren and Tan's has reached a fever pitch.

When Wang Juren heard that Mrs. Tan was going to separate from him, for some reason, a wave of panic filled his heart.

He can be regarded as discredited now, and he used to only study, and he couldn't lift his shoulders and resist. It will definitely be difficult to find a job in the future, and his livelihood will be a problem. Now the Wang family mostly relies on the Tan family to go to the Lin family to work as a flower farmer. If the two of them divorced, he would be down and out in the future.

He still doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong, Meng'er is just a girl, she has no money to take the imperial examination, so what if she sells it?

Why is Tan's going to leave him?

But Mrs. Tan has clearly made up her mind: "My lord, I just ask you to help the women find my child!"

Lin Fengqi and the master looked at each other and nodded: "Don't worry, we will definitely find your daughter for you, but after you find it, you have to be honest. The child's thoughts and situation are very important. I hope you will think carefully about it." Think about it."

Because there is no relevant regulation above the law for Wang Juren to sell his daughter, that is to say, this is a gray area defaulted by the law, so they have no way to sentence him and can only put him back temporarily. Nothing to do, only Zhang Yuan was taken into custody, and the case was temporarily postponed for retrial, only waiting to find Tan's daughter before proceeding with the divorce case between the two of them.

Lin Huan felt a little sorry, when Father Lin left the office, he trotted along and asked, "Father, did you find that sister?"

Lin Fengqi touched Lin Huan: "Actually, we have already found it."

Lin Huan jumped up: "Eh? Really found it? Then why did you tell them that you didn't find it?"

"The husband and wife are going to divorce, and Tan's daughter will follow Wang Juren first after she gets back. Do you want her to follow him?" Lin Fengqi asked.

Lin Huan thought about what the group of people said in the live broadcast room. If Tan's daughter followed Wang Juren, she might be sold again after changing hands. It was too miserable, so she shook her head.

He thought of that little sister again: "By the way, Dad! Where's that sister?"

"It's at your mother's place, go and have a look."

Lin Huan excitedly ran to Qin Wan's place, and sure enough, he saw a strange girl added to the house.

This girl looks delicate and shy, with red eyes like a bunny, different from the girls wearing silk and satin around her, she is wearing an off-white Taoist robe, with a small bun on her head, tied with a wooden The hairpin was inserted, and there was a dust whisk in his hand.

Lin Huan tilted his head: "How are you?"

The little girl pinched a Taoist seal: "Hello, little layman."

Lin Huan was confused: "What is a layman? You can call me Huanbao, but everyone else calls me Huanbao."

The little girl nodded: "Alright Huanbao, you can call me Jinghe."

"Isn't it called Meng'er, why is it called Jinghe again?" Lin Huan was stunned, and turned to look at Lin Fengqi: "Father, isn't he Aunt Tan's daughter?"

Seeing him puzzled, the little girl shook her head: "I am a monk, so naturally I am called a monk by the name of a monk."

[Sweetheart: Oh, is Tan's daughter a monk? 】

[A disagreement: ah?Do Taoist temples also buy people to become little Taoist priests? 】

Seeing that Lin Huan still didn't understand, Jinghe explained to him, "I was kidnapped by a kidnapper and then sold to a dental shop. Later, an official bought me, saying that the girl at home was ordered to be ordered by monks and priests. , if she stays at home all the time, I'm afraid her life will be in danger, why don't you send her to become a monk."

"It's just that the wife and master of the family were reluctant to send her to become a monk, so they asked someone to buy a little girl like us to become a monk instead of her."

[Research on Ancient Literature: It turned out to be a substitute. There seems to be such a thing in previous dynasties. For example, the Daoist Zhang in "A Dream of Red Mansions" who told the story of a happy marriage is actually Jia Daishan's substitute. Jia Zhen always calls him Grandpa Zhang. That person's status is quite high. 】

It means that Tan's daughter usually lives pretty well?

Lin Huan blinked and blinked: "Then sister, how have you been doing these years?"

Jing He smiled: "That family is not bad, and they are very lenient to those of us who become monks for Miss."

However, that family invited a lot of people, and the lady of that family was always sick, and several substitutes were replaced one after another, and they were all placed in the small Taoist temple.She was later sent in as a substitute. She was doing well at first, and they didn't want her to work. Later, more and more people were sent in. The family saw that it was useless to send a substitute, so they didn't care about them anymore. .

The Taoist temple is getting poorer day by day, and those Taoist priests are used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, their appetites are getting bigger and bigger, and they are gradually greedy for a lot of gold and silver sent, even looking at them is not pleasing to the eye.

The substitutes they were sent had a miserable life. They had to carry water to boil water all day long, and they had to go to the mountains to collect firewood and bring it back to burn.

In fact, it would be fine if it was just doing work, but she gradually felt that something was wrong.

There are more and more people coming to the Taoist temple, not just substitutes, but also some rich lords wearing gold and silver, all of them have big arms and round waists, and they often come and go in the Taoist temple. When these girls pass by, those lords will stare Watch them.

Jinghe didn't understand much when she was young, until later those Taoist priests sent over many clothes, all of which were sheer gauze, with only a half-pull bellyband covering their body inside, and then they were not allowed to wear serious Taoist robes, only Tell them to wear these clothes.

They were not asked to work anymore, and they were kept in captivity in the temple all day, and there were men guarding the door outside, so they were not allowed to run around.

Jinghe was very scared. She didn't know what they were going to do, and she didn't want to wear such revealing clothes, but she was dressed slowly. That night, she was stripped naked, whipped and locked in a big cage for several days. God, only two steamed buns are allowed a day.

When she was released, she found that a Taoist nun in the same room had disappeared. The priests said that she had a sudden illness and moved out because they were afraid that it would happen to them.

Quiet and disbelieving, but she didn't dare to say anything. Once she was disobedient, she would be beaten severely.

There are fewer and fewer girls in the Taoist temple, and they all disappear inexplicably. Jinghe is getting more and more afraid, and less and less afraid to speak, and observes her surroundings with fear every day.

One night two months ago, she couldn't sleep, and she was so hungry that she sneaked into the kitchen while the guards weren't paying attention. When she came back, she heard a movement in a wing room, so she went to see it quietly. I was seeing those wealthy businessmen and gentlemen who often come and go put a few young substitute Taoist nuns under their bodies.

The scene was so chaotic, she didn't dare to look at it any more, she quietly went back to her room, and couldn't sleep with her eyes open and crying all night.

She closed her eyes and thought of the wretched smiles on those people's faces, and the painful and distorted expressions of those doubles like her.

They are only one or two years older than me!

Later, she became silent day by day, worried and unable to sleep all day long, and one day she even heard someone outside saying that she would be able to be released when she was two months older.

And the girls she saw before had all quietly disappeared.

Lin Huan was too young, she couldn't bear to tell him these things, and he probably wouldn't understand, so she just picked up some old days and told him, didn't mention her life in the Taoist temple at all, just talking Red eyes.

Seeing that her eyes were red again, Lin Huan hurriedly said, "I shouldn't have asked, I'm sorry."

He scratched his head in frustration, so what if he treats her best?After all, he was not at home, so why did he ask to hurt someone's heart?

But when he thought of Tan's tears, he still couldn't help asking: "Na Jing and Master, do you still remember your mother?"

Jinghe nodded: "I remember, when I was a child, my mother often carried me on her back when she went to work, and tied me on her back with cloth strips torn from old clothes."

Even though they all put on clothes that hadn't been mended, Jinghe still remembered the kindness she felt lying on her mother's back at that time, and the smell of green grass.

During those countless difficult nights, she could only fall asleep thinking of her mother.

Lin Huan smiled and said, "Your mother remembers you too! I miss you every day, but now it's better, you can see each other again."

He thought about the case of Tan Shi and Wang Juren again, and sighed, it would be great if Tan Shi and his daughter could be together for a long time.

Seeing him laughing and sighing for a while, Qin Wan said with a smile, "Why is this brat always surprised now?"

Mrs. Lou came in from the outside and said after hearing this: "It's a bit like Baoyu in our mansion, but a child is always listening to the wind and seeing the rain, and his temper is also uncertain."

Lin Huan wrinkled his nose: Hmph, I don't want to be like that Baoyu!

He often listened to the barrage talking about Jia Baoyu, saying that he was a dandy, and Lin Huan's ambition was to take the imperial examination and become a high official, so he didn't want to be like Baoyu!

He changed the subject silently: "Aunt Lou, how do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Lou's face darkened, and he shook his head: "It's okay, thanks to your family taking care of me."

She has never received a letter from Jia's house, so it can be seen that they don't care about her at all, so why should she be angry because of them.

She turned to look at Jinghe: "This is...?"

Lin Huan hurriedly said, "This is Aunt Tan's daughter."

Lou thought for a while: "Is it the one who looks at the roses in your village? Her flowers are pretty good."

Mrs. Feng came in with Zhen Yinglian: "That's right, many of the orders in our shop were roses, and the ladies who went that day all imitated our rose garden. Eat wine in the garden."

The adults went to talk on their own, and Lin Huan took Jia Zhu, Yinglian and Jinghe to play.

While walking, he quietly asked in the live broadcast room: "Well, should I tell Jinghe that her mother wants to divorce her father?"

[Sweetheart: Does Jinghe know that she was betrayed? 】

Yes, does Jinghe know that she was betrayed by her own father?

Lin Huan glanced at Jinghe, she followed Yinglian step by step, as if she was afraid of being left behind.

Sensing Lin Huan's gaze, Jing He raised his head and asked with a flattering smile, "What's wrong?"

For some reason, seeing her smile, Lin Huan suddenly felt sore in his heart, and quickly asked the barrage: Do you think I should ask?

[Research on ancient literature: You ask, although the reality is cruel, but she must know the reality herself, and I think her attitude will be helpful for the divorce case between Tan Shi and Wang Juren. 】

[A word disagreement: Yes, in the modern divorce, people still ask whether the child is with the father or the mother. If Jinghe must follow her mother, Wang Juren can't force her to go there. 】

Lin Huan's eyes lit up, what a way!

He glanced at Jinghe, he really couldn't bear to let her continue to follow Wang Juren and then be betrayed, so he said, "Do you know how you were kidnapped?"

Quiet and dazed: "That day I was mending clothes at home, and my grandmother accompanied me. Later, she said that something happened at home, and she hurried out. Not long after, a man came to my house and said that the matter was too urgent. Mother and the others were too busy, so they asked me to go too, so I followed him."

It was later sold.

She was young at that time, and she hadn't been out of the village very much. When she knew that she had been sold, she didn't even know the way back. Later, she was bought back and sent to a Taoist temple. The Taoist watch was strict, and she had no chance. Out.

Lin Huan hesitated and said, "Let me tell you something. It doesn't matter if you get angry or scold people after hearing this, just don't keep your sadness in your heart."

He told Jinghe about today's case.

Jinghe was stunned.

She used to always complain that she was easy to be deceived, and felt that if she had grown up, she would not have been deceived by human traffickers so easily and lived such a miserable life.

After she was abducted, she always thought about her parents, fearing that they would never remember her again, and sometimes she thought that they must have had other children, maybe she had forgotten about herself at all, otherwise why would she never come again found her?

She clearly heard from those priests that she was still in Gusu, so as long as they were willing to look for them, they would definitely be able to find her.

Jinghe also hoped that she would be rescued in the past, but it was too long. She stayed in the stinky Taoist temple for so long that she almost forgot her last name. She would think of her mother after a long absence, and that became her only comfort in her miserable life.

But today I know that I was sold by my own father?Just for that one tael of silver?

Tears flowed down, she clenched her teeth, feeling ridiculous.

Seeing that her expression was not right, Lin Huan hurriedly asked her to sit down in the pavilion, and told everyone around her to go away: "You... If you want to cry, cry!"

Jinghe lay on the table, covering her head and face with her sleeves, and there was no sound for a long time.

Lin Huan looked at Jia Jun from the left and Zhen Yinglian from the right, and said angrily, "I shouldn't have said that!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, a burst of crying leaked from Jinghe's sleeves, her shoulders rose and fell, and that crying sound became a howling cry.

Those who hear it are sad, and those who hear it cry.

The eye circles of Jia Zhu and Zhen Yinglian also turned red, Jing He cried so badly, and they were so young that they were easily distracted, and they all burst into tears.

The servants who had already exited were startled and rushed to find the wives.

Qin Wan, Mrs. Feng, and Lou rushed over, and saw four children sitting in the pavilion crying into a ball, no one could coax the other.

Lin Huan cried fast, and received it quickly. He nestled in Qin Wan's arms and glanced at the pavilion. Mrs. Lou was holding Jia Zhu, and Mrs. Feng was holding Yinglian. Come down: "Mother, Jinghe is so pitiful."

Qin Wan also felt sorry for her, and said: "Tomorrow, ask her mother to come in, and let the two of them meet."

Lin Fengqi had also heard the children's howling. When he came in after changing clothes, Lin Huan and the others had already been coaxed to wash, change clothes and take a nap.

Qin Wan then chatted with him: "I have asked someone to send the money for my former son's school to the patriarch. Lou and I got it right and said that he wanted to study with Lin Huan in our family school. What do you think?" explain?"

Lin Fengqi said, "Hasn't there been a letter from the Rongguo Mansion yet?"

Qin Wan shook her head: "I don't know what's going on in the mansion over there. I see that Mrs. Lou has been a little disheartened recently, otherwise she wouldn't have proposed to let Jia Zhu be Huanbao's companion."

Lin Fengqi pondered: "Speaking of which, Tan's case is still somewhat involved with Rongfu."

Qin Wan hurriedly asked: "What's the reason?"

Lin Fengqi then told the story of the Taoist temple: "When the yamen servants arrived, they said that the girls inside were all in scanty clothes, and they dragged out a few well-known wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River."

In order to protect these girls, Lin Fengqi told the yamen servants not to let the wind out, so Jinghe brought her to the Lin family after changing her clothes, and the rest of them found other places to settle, so Qin Wan didn't know There is something in that Taoist temple.

At this moment, when I suddenly heard about it, I couldn't help showing a disgusted expression: "These temples and Taoist temples are getting worse and worse."

Lin Fengqi pressed her hand: "It's those wealthy businessmen who have needs, and Taoist temples will think of these things. I told you before that this case has something to do with the Rongfu. They live outside the capital, and there are still a dozen or so houses in Jinling area. Although it is more depressed than the capital, they can be called local snakes outside. Their family has colluded with many salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and often invites people to banquets. Between the banquets, some fans are often called to accompany them."

At first it was just a banquet, but later because Prince Yizhong was refuted by the present day about the party formation, those people began to act quietly, they dared not engage in sex with prostitutes in the open, so they came up with some new tricks, also It is to go to the Taoist temple.

Xu Shi is more exciting to live in front of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, this business is actually very hot.

Many temples and Taoist temples that are clean on the surface are dens of male thieves and prostitutes at night.

Jinghe is the one.

Qin Wan was about to vomit, and hurriedly asked, "What about the other girls?"

Lin Fengqi sighed: "Some were abducted by human traffickers, some were sold by parents voluntarily, and most of them were ruined. Except for the younger ones, even the more handsome Taoist boys couldn't escape , have made people prostitute all over the place.”

Qin Wan was silent, and said for a while, "It's also pitiful, and there is no future."

She asked Tan Shi again.

Lin Fengqi shook his head even more: "The current law makes it too difficult for the Tan family to take their daughter back. After all, they pay attention to the bloodlines of descendants. If Wang Juren is unwilling, the village chiefs, village chiefs, and patriarchs of Wangjia Village will not be willing. "

In fact, more than that.

Because this case is quite bizarre, there were quite a few people who came to watch the case during the trial, and they were very famous in Gusu City for bringing this case.

When those onlookers heard the case, they might feel that Tan Shi was pitiful, Jing He was pitiful, and Wang Juren was hateful, but if Jing He was awarded to Tan Shi, they would never agree.

The gentry in Gusu must not want to see Jinghe sentenced to the Tan family. If this case is really the result, then those aunts, wives, widows and the like in their family will all use the name of separation If you go to the government and beg to award those children to yourself, then their blood will be lost.

This is what the patriarchs of those big families are unwilling and impossible to see.

Lin Fengqi had a headache: "This is a big deal!" This is the reason why he is not willing to tell everyone that Tan's daughter has been found for the time being.

In fact, what he said was correct. The gentry and prominent families in Gusu City were all paying attention to this case. They supported Tan's divorce, but they were not willing to let Tan get back the child.

Qin Wan could only say: "Let their mother and daughter meet first."

After a few days, Qin Wan arranged for Jinghe and Mrs. Tan to meet at Zhuangzi.

Because the news could not be leaked, all the people in Zhuangzi who could evacuate that day withdrew, only she took Lin Huan with her, using the excuse of repairing.

Quiet, gentle and introverted, and older than Lin Huan and the others, she is like a gentle big sister when getting along with them, making Lin Huan and the others like her very much, therefore, Lin Huan is very concerned about her affairs .

The people in the studio also cared.

Then they saw Lin Huan sitting on the chair scratching his ears and looking outside frequently.

[Precautions: At this moment, Brother Huanbaohou is possessed haha. 】

[I don't agree with each other: I'm dying of laughter, Huanbao, you really want to see it, so why don't you just stand at the window?If you look at it openly, people won't say anything! 】

[Sweetheart: Don't make trouble, Huanbao is not as tall as his window sill, okay? 】

Lin Huan was so angry that he was as tall as the window sill!snort!

He didn't want to talk to them, he wanted to see Jing and his sister.

So, Lin Huan, who had succeeded in comforting himself, silently went to the door, hey, let me probe!

Jing He was facing the door with Tan Shi face to face, and immediately saw Lin Huan who was poking her head quietly, and wanted to laugh immediately.

However, her eyes fell on Tan Shi who was embarrassed on the opposite side, she retracted her smile, and quietly lowered her eyes.

Tan couldn't stop looking at Jinghe, and finally cried after a while: "I'm taller, but I'm also thinner."

It's very strange, it's just a very simple sentence, but it makes people feel sad and want to cry.

The tears that Jinghe held back with all her strength fainted in her eyes.

The mother and daughter looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

[Cabbage Tofu Nao: ...Fuck, my tears are about to fall. 】

[Sweetheart: Woohoo, I'm too old to watch this kind of drama. 】

Lin Huan also burst into tears.

It took about a while to look at each other for a stick of incense before Tan wiped away his tears, and brought a bamboo basket he brought to him: "Mother made shoes and socks for you earlier, thinking that one day I will bring you back." You can continue to wear it, but you don’t know if it still fits.”

She lifted the cloth covering the basket.

Lin Huan cheated through the camera and looked into the basket.

I saw more than a dozen pairs of finished shoes and socks stuffed inside. There were all kinds of shoes and socks, from small to large, piled in the basket. Flowers and plants, each pair of shoe uppers are made of different materials, and they are all brand new. It seems that the workmanship is all done by one person.

This basket is full of love.

Jinghe took out a pair from the inside and looked at them carefully. She stayed in that dirty nest for two years, and she was a substitute the year before. She said it was very comfortable to wear, but now holding the shoes her mother made for herself, she even forgot what color the uppers of the shoes she wore before were.

She stroked the pairs of shoes and socks and asked, "Mother made this for me?"

Tan nodded: "When you were not at home, I made shoes when I was free. I have made so many shoes in the past two years, but I don't know how many pairs fit my feet."

[Qingqing: Ah, is this making a pair of shoes just thinking of your daughter?This kind of thousand-ply bottom will take a long time to sew without machinery and pure handwork. It is estimated that it will take a pair of two or three months. 】

[Sweetheart: The older sister in front of me, don’t hurt me anymore, one pair in two or three months, twelve months in a year, 24 in two years, a total of about twelve pairs can be made... This is thinking about my daughter every year, every month, every day ...? 】

Jinghe was very hesitant at first.

It was only a few days ago that she realized that she was not abducted by accident, but that her own father sold her. She couldn't help but doubt her parents, and even wanted to ask why Mrs. Tan didn't want to come to her.

However, at this moment, looking at the pairs of shoes and socks, the doubts and doubts in her heart completely disappeared.

Holding the pair of shoes and socks, Tan's eyes were bright and clear: "Meng'er, try the shoes made by mother."

Jinghe nodded with a smile: "Okay."

The two of them didn't dislike it either, so they sat on the edge of the flower bed, Jinghe took off the shoes on her feet, and Tan held the shoes for her to try on.

"These pairs are a bit small. I made them when you just lost them."

"This pair is still small, do your feet hurt?"

Jinghe shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

Tan took another pair of gestures: "This pair is too big, I was not sure about your feet at that time, I found a little girl who was the same age as you to make gestures, I think that girl is born with bigger feet, so it is not suitable. "

In the end, after comparison, only one pair of these dozen pairs of shoes and socks fit my feet.

It was a pair of turquoise uppers, made of fine cotton, and it was actually a bit hot to wear in this weather, but this pair was the only one suitable, and Jing He refused to take it off, she had to wear it: "I haven't worn mother-made shoes yet." Just wear this pair of shoes!"

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

Lin Huan?Lin Huan quietly covered his face, ran all the way in front of Qin Wan, raised his head coquettishly: "Mother, what if I disappear one day?"

Qin Wan nodded at him: "You talk nonsense all day long, if you have this spare time to worry about it, why don't you go and eat that plate of dim sum."

Lin Huan went to eat some snacks again, thinking to himself, he finally understood why "filial piety" was emphasized in "San Zi Jing", children should be filial, and at the same time, adults should also be kind!

He just reminded Tan Shi to report the crime before, but it turned out that so many things were involved, and Jing and his sister were still found. Does this count as saving people?Hey, it's always a good thing!

Tan and Jinghe met, mother and daughter had a lot to say, Tan kept asking her how she was doing in the past two years, Jinghe had no choice but to pick out some things in the Taoist temple and tell them to her. Tan Shi listened, although what she said was not very clear, Tan Shi still understood, and the two hugged and cried again.

At the same time, Mrs. Tan also strengthened her heart to get together.

No matter how much they talked, they couldn't finish talking in one day, and they had to separate at dusk, and Mrs. Tan returned to Wangjiacun.

In the end, within a quarter of an hour after returning home, some relatives of the Wang family came to the door, and all of them advised her to think clearly about whether she should get together or leave.

Mrs. Tan was determined to reunite, and all the people who came to persuade her were blocked at the door.

People with good deeds went to Wang Juren and tried their best to get him to win over their daughters.

The words are nice to hear: "No matter what, it's all the blood of your Wang family, so what's the point of following the Tan family?"

Yes, they are all the blood of their royal family.

Wang Juren thought with a bruised face.

He didn't think about what he did wrong, he just felt that Tan was going too far, the husband and wife who had been married for many years wanted to leave, and wanted to leave the Wang family's blood.

In addition, he felt that if Mrs. Tan was determined to get married and divorced, his livelihood would be difficult in the future, and he would always go out to find work. If his daughter followed him, his reputation would be better—even if he sold his daughter, The daughter is still willing to follow him, isn't she?In this way, when looking for a job again, people won't say anything. Jinghe is just a girl. After two years of raising her and everyone forgets about it, even if he sells her again, no one will say anything.

Mrs. Tan had already packed the boxes and cages inside, and when she heard those people outside muttering to Wang Juren, she became angry, picked up her broom and swept them out of the door: "Everyone is full?! Come on!" What are my family's affairs? I'll leave the conversation here today, and I'll give up on him, Wang Qing!"

Those people were beaten by the broom, and they all went away muttering, and they still called Tan's vulgarity in their mouths.

Thinking of the grievances and tears that Jinghe suffered, Tan's eyes were already red with anger. When she turned her head and saw Wang Juren standing quietly, she directly swung a broom at him: "Get out!"

Her youngest son heard the movement and ran out with the doll in his arms, watching his mother beating his father timidly.

Tan turned her head: "Tiger baby, let me ask you, do you want a father or a mother?"

Huwa looked at his father and mother again, but dared not speak.

Tan picked him up and said with tears: "Your sister asked your father to sell her. Mother doesn't want to live with him. Mother just asks you, do you want to follow father or mother?"

Huwa is four years old this year, and his impression of his sister is already very faint, but he still remembers that the doll in his hand belongs to his sister, so he raised his hand: "I want my sister."

Mrs. Tan touched his head: "Okay, okay, the roots of the Wang family are rotten, but we can't just rot in the mud, mother will take you away."

Only then did Wang Juren get anxious: "You put the tiger baby down! That is the foundation of my Wang family!"

If the daughter is gone, it will be gone, but the son can't be lost!

Tan didn't bother to pay attention to him, picked up the baby tiger, and was about to leave with the cage.

Wang Juren blocked the door with red eyes: "If you dare to take the tiger baby away today, I will go to the head of the village tomorrow to sign and leave the book. When your daughter comes back, I will find another place to take her away." Sell ​​it! You figure it out!"

Tan said in a hoarse voice, "This is my daughter? Emotional dream was born by me alone? Wang Qing, Wang Qing, I have slept together in the same bed for so many years, and I only saw you clearly today! Let me tell you, Hu I want a baby, I want Menger too, so stop wishful thinking!"

She pushed Wang Juren away and was about to go out, only to find that there were a bunch of people standing in front of her house, most of them came to join in the fun, and the one standing in front was the village head of Wangjia Village.

Mrs. Tan is usually a gentle and virtuous person, but recently she has gone crazy many times because of her daughter.

However, she calmed down when she saw the village chief: "If you come to persuade me, then you don't need to talk, I know what I'm doing."

Village head Wang has always been famous, and he sighed when he saw the cage in her hand: "Calm down, I have something to tell you."

He kept everyone outside the door and told them to go back. When he turned around and talked to Mrs. Tan, he was quite earnest: "If you want me to say, you have been too impulsive recently, I know you want to go back to Menger and get together with Wang Qing, but Your thinking is too simple, it is easy to get together and divorce, but it is difficult to have a daughter, if you don’t believe me, go to the government and ask, and the answer they will give you is the same.”

"After your incident happened, the clan elders from several miles around us all came to me to inquire about the news. They said they were inquiring about the news, but they were actually putting pressure on us not to interfere in this matter."

Village Chief Wang sighed: "Mr. Tan, if you want to get married and leave, you will always have to register again, right? The only way to raise children is to set up a female household. Once you get registered permanent residence, you and Huwa will be black households from now on, you will be restricted from going out and entering the city, and they won’t ask you to work, how will you live in the future? How will your children live?”

Seeing that Mrs. Tan was silent, Village Chief Wang continued: "Meng'er is right, but have you ever thought that even if she is found, she will not gossip? Because of her, parents are arguing to get along with each other." Li, she is a girl, she is still so young, and there are so many gossips, what can I do! Can you take care of her for the rest of her life?"

Tan's tears are almost shed these days, but after hearing this, she still burst into tears: "Then what can I do! If you don't get along with Meng'er, can you tell Meng'er to come back and be sold? She was so young, and she suffered like this..."

Village Chief Wang shook his head: "It's too difficult to take the child with you. If you get separated, you will really lose control of her and let her be left here to continue to be tortured. Wang Qing will leave you Will he marry again in the future? No matter how bad his reputation is, he can always marry a stepmother. Don't you understand how the stepmother treats children?"

Tan gritted her teeth: "Is there no other way?"

Village Chief Wang shook his head silently.

After a while, he said: "If you don't want to leave, and you still stay in Wang's house to take care of these two children, I promise you that I will build you a house on the opposite side of Wang's house. You still live alone, and Meng'er can follow you." You are together, but in name you and Wang Qing are still husband and wife, okay?"

Tan closed her eyes tightly.

She thought about the little group of daughters, about the still immature baby tiger, and about those aggressive outsiders.

She didn't want her Meng'er to suffer and suffer any more.

She nodded with tears in her eyes: "OK! OK! OK! I promise."

As soon as Tan's words fell, Jing He who was standing outside was stunned.

After the two separated, Jinghe realized that she forgot to give the netting she made to Mrs. Tan. Since she was rescued, she knew that her mother was still thinking about her, so she started making the netting. The genius made one and prepared it for Tan Shi when the two met, but she forgot when the two of them talked until it was dark.

After Mrs. Tan left, she saw the net in the bamboo basket when she went back to the house, she quickly picked it up and chased it outside.

But the Tan family was in a hurry all the way, she was young and her steps were small, and she didn't catch up after a long time. Fortunately, the closer she got to Wang's Village, the more familiar the road was, and she reached the door of the house after groping.

However, before she had time to go in, she heard the words of Mrs. Tan and the village chief.

Her mother could have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, but for her and her younger brother, she endured her anger and wanted to leave? !

Quiet and speechless.

She lowered her head and looked at the ground.

A pair of feet stood alone on the earth-brown stone, and the shoes on her feet were exactly the shoes that Mrs. Tan had just given her.

A small bird is embroidered on the turquoise upper, and the bird is about to fly.

She remembered what Mrs. Tan told her, wishing she would be such a little bird in the future, living freely and happily in this world.

The moon has risen above the sky, and there is a crystal light in Jing He's eyes.

A wall separated her from Tan Shi.

Tan was depressed.

Jing He leaned against the wall slowly, as if she could feel her mother's heartbeat and temperature in this way.

After half a quarter of an hour, she put the bundle of nets into her arms, gritted her teeth and walked into the moonlight.

Lin Huan was going to sleep at first, but he just saw Tan Shi talking with Jinghe today, he was terribly injured, and was pestering Qin Wan to sleep with her.

Qin Wan agreed, and was asking the girl to make up her hair.

Before the hair was done, there was a knock on the door
