Jiang Jiuniang listened for a while and felt that this young boy was quite responsible, so she stepped forward and said kindly: "You are so good, why are you still kneeling on the beach? It's not nice to see so many people coming and going. My child, get up quickly and talk to me if you have something to say." ”

No one wants to make the family scandal public, but now their whole family is seen on the beach, and this is also done deliberately by the young man, so that more people will see that sister is about to be sold, and they will definitely If a kind person comes forward to dissuade him, he will take this opportunity to keep his sister.

So, he hugged Jiang Jiuniang’s thigh and cried regardless.

"Good Samaritan, please advise my father. It's all my fault. Don't betray my sister!"

When a son gets into trouble, he has to sell his daughter to solve it. Why doesn't Jiang Jiuniang understand why?

She looked like a middle-aged man, and said with a half-smile: "This big brother, a tiger can't eat its seeds. Your daughter is still so young. Have you ever thought about what she will endure once she is sold?" How much suffering? And these sufferings are not because of herself, but for her brother?"

Although the middle-aged man does not want others to interfere with his own affairs, he has been ignored by others until now. When he saw it, he could only say: "Things are like this, what can I do? I am just a son. If I don't sell my daughter to sell my son, won't I be pointed at my nose and laughed at in the future?"

After all, it was for the sake of face, Jiang Jiuniang smiled, looking at the man with somewhat cold eyes.

She ignored the man, but looked at the boy and asked, "First tell me what wrong thing you did."

The boy told the story again.

“I have always been responsible for feeding the horses at Zhang Yuanwai’s house, but the horses have become sick these days. Everyone said it was me, and they asked my family to spend money to treat the horses. If the horses were sick, My son died without treatment, and he wanted me to pay compensation. My family didn’t have that much money, so Zhang Yuanwai asked my sister to be his concubine. My father didn’t want my sister to be his concubine, so he planned to sell her to someone else. Rich families exchanged money to treat their horses."

The boy went with his parents to the mountains to cut the tenderest grass for his old cow to eat since he was a child. Later, the old cow died and he had nothing to do. , and felt sad, so he took the initiative to find a job feeding horses for Zhang Yuan's family. The salary was ten cents a month. Although it was very small, it was good for him to make money to supplement the family income, so he kept doing it. More than a year.

The horse has always been in good health, but suddenly became ill in the past few days. Zhang Yuanwai said that he was lazy and fed the horse stale and unclean grass, so he had to eat it. He compensates.

But he has never treated the horses badly. He treats the two horses just like his own horses. Not only does he feed them the tenderest grass, but he also bathes them from time to time. He takes good care of them, no matter what. Didn't expect this to happen.

"I really didn't harm Zhang Yuanwai's horse on purpose, and I don't know why it happened..."

The young man cried helplessly. He didn't know why things turned out like this. , he just wanted to go out to make money to support his family, but he never thought that his sister would be sold as a result.

Jiang Jiuniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the boy's words. She thought that this boy didn't learn well at a young age, went out to mess around and owed other people debts, and that these things would happen. She didn't expect that other children would be like this. He is sensible, feeding horses to supplement the family income at a young age, and now he is trying hard to stop his father from selling his daughter. I still admire this child very much.

Before she could speak, the woman who was lagging behind finally caught up and said to the man breathlessly: "The child's father, don't harm Mingzhu because of such a trivial matter. The family still has some savings. You Take it all and ask a doctor to treat Zhang Yuanwai's horse."

"How can that be done! You still need to rely on medicine to support your body, and all the money has been taken out, what should you do?"

The woman gasped a few more times, and then said: "I'm much better. It's okay to stop for a while. Let's take care of Zhang Yuanwai's house first. We can't sell the pearl anyway. , that will kill me!"

When the man heard this, he glanced at his daughter who was sitting on the ground crying, and sighed heavily.

He named his daughter Mingzhu, and he naturally liked this girl in his heart, but the current situation at home was really not optimistic. Not only did the money from selling his daughter have to be used to treat Ma's illness, but also part of it had to be used to treat Ma's illness. Stay and buy medicine for your wife.

My wife is in poor health and has to take medicine all year round. In the past, after he finished the work in his own land, he could still do some menial work for Zhang Yuanwai's family, giving him some supplement. Now his son has offended Zhang Yuanwai. He couldn't continue his work. Without money, he had no money to buy his wife's medicine.

Jiang Jiuniang looked at the woman who was panting heavily and had started to cough. She reached out to give her a hand, and took her pulse to check her physical condition. She found that the woman's body was in severe depletion, as a result of childbirth. The root of the disease.

Fortunately, this man still had a conscience and kept giving her medicine to keep her alive, otherwise she would not be alive today.

After knowing these things, Jiang Jiuniang’s impression of the man became slightly better, but she still couldn’t forgive him for selling his daughter to support his son, so she still didn’t want to talk to him.

Just said to the kneeling young man: "Get up quickly. If you believe me, I can help you treat Zhang Yuanwai's horse, so that your sister does not have to be sold. "

These words instantly ignited the hope of the young man. He got up from the ground neatly and said excitedly: "Thank you, my name is Zhuzi, and the horse is at my house. I can take you to see it now. ."

After the horse got sick, Zhang Yuanwai asked someone to send the horse to his house, and asked his family to be responsible. If the horse was cured well, he would cure it. If it was not cured, his sister would be asked to be Zhang Yuanwai's concubine.

Jiang Jiuniang was a little helpless and asked: "You will believe whatever I say. Aren't you afraid that I lied to you and will put the horse to death when I get there?"

Zhuzhu shook his head and said: "No, Madam, you are so good-looking, you must be a good person!"

He actually didn't tell the truth. In fact, it was because Jiang Jiuniang's dress was not ordinary, and her body He was carrying a child on his back, and he looked very kind, so he would definitely not deceive him on purpose.

Jiang Jiu Niang had nothing to say and thought of going to talk to Lu Baichuan first, then she saw Lu Baichuan pulling the dog over here with a basket on his back.

"What happened?"

Lu Baichuan said, they had just gone a little far and didn't know what was happening here.

Jiang Jiuniang briefly explained the situation, and then said: "I will go to his house first. You take the children back first, and wait for me to have dinner with you!"

Lu Baichuan looked at the family in front of him and said, "Let's go with you."

Jiang Jiuniang thought about it for a while, but did not refuse. She turned to look at the middle-aged couple, who also had a look on their faces. Urgent, obviously also believes in himself.

Jiang Jiuniang stepped forward and pulled up the girl who was sitting on the ground crying. The little girl was about the same age as Youyatou, but unexpectedly she was targeted by the old man.

　“Thank you, thank you.”
