Mrs. Han didn't respond when she saw her daughter. She misunderstood and thought she was reluctant to sell her son.
Also, which mother in the world is willing to sell her children, especially her only son?!
But the eldest daughter doesn't want to and has to.
First, as Mrs. Han said, her baby son needs money and food.
Second, they are now on their way to escape famine. Having more children is a burden.
Now it's hard to meet people who buy men's dolls. After all, even on the way out of famine, most of them are women and women's dolls.
So people who buy people's teeth basically shout to buy Women and girls.
As for boys, it's not that people don't want to buy, but that a family won't easily sell its men, even if their family is broken and desperate.
But this time, the people who came to pick people in the famine relief team directly said they wanted to buy boys aged four to ten.
The cheap grandson of Mrs. Han, the only son of her eldest daughter, he Xiaobao, happens to be six years old this year, which fully meets the conditions.
The man's teeth not only specifically asked to buy a boy, but also offered a high price.
A qualified boy can be sold for two dollars.
Of course, copper money is not easy to use on the way to escape famine.
If a family selling children doesn't want copper money, it can also be converted into grain, which is enough for a bucket of coarse grain.
Save some food, enough for a person to eat for half a month.
Mrs. Han had already asked the price, secretly calculated, and then ran to discuss with her baby son Tian Yaozong.
Therefore, at noon that day, Tian Yaozong was "ill" with a groan.
Mrs. Han ran to wipe tears with her eldest daughter, He Tian, and said over and over again——
"Big girl, old Ho's male Ding is not prosperous. Your brother is the only root in the family, but he dare not break it!"
"Your father and I are old and can't have children anymore. If your brother has another weakness, our family will become a houseless."
"... I know you've married, but if you marry someone, your mother's family should support you. There's a brother at home, and your men don't dare to bully you!"
"Don't worry, your good, your father and I remember it, and we will never treat you badly!"
Tian Daniu, who is now he Tian's family, has been brainwashed since childhood. Sanguan has long been distorted by the Tian family.
I prefer sons to daughters. I give everything to my mother's family. I'd rather starve my son than supplement my mother's family
These are routine operations.
Now, there is a famine in my hometown, and there has been a wave of banditry and war. There is really no way to live. The people of tianjiawa come out together to escape the famine.
As a married daughter, He Tian can follow his mother's family. On the surface, it seems that his mother's family really gave him shelter.
In fact?
Hehe, the grain in Hetian's family was held by Mrs. Han. The shouting donkey raised by Hetian's family became Tian Yaozong's exclusive car.
Even the thick clothes of He Tian and his son he Xiaobao were taken away by Mrs. Han and distributed to her daughter-in-law and grandson!
Most importantly, He Tian is capable. She is a woman, but her strength is greater than that of men (especially Tian Yaozong). She works for the top three.
Taking her is a strong laborer who brings his own dry food and is reluctant to eat.
Mrs. Han is the best at calculation. She has already beaten her four daughters to the bone!
At the beginning, she married her other three daughters far away in exchange for high betrothal gifts, but she only married her eldest daughter recently, that is, she wanted her obedient and capable eldest daughter to help her mother's family.
Of course, the little abacus in Mrs. Han's heart was crackling, but her mouth coaxed Hetian——
"Big girl, my father and mother love you most. The four girls only married you to Hejia village nearest to home."
"He Erniu is a good. He gave lower betrothal gifts than your other three sisters, but my mother still married you to him. Why, it's not for you?"
"Where did you go? There is no mother-in-law at the top and no sister-in-law at the bottom. You can be in charge when you enter the door. Enjoy more happiness?"
"Also, er Niu is capable, strong and boxing. He can go to the city escort agency to help people escort during the slack season. He can save a lot of money all year round!"
"My parents have considered everything for you. You can't forget your roots. Let alone your brother."
"Your brother is poor. He can't even afford to go to school when his parents are so incompetent..."
After talking a lot of nonsense, Mrs. Han seems to be a peerless good mother for the sake of her daughter.
He Tian was really moved and took out his heart and lungs for his mother's family.
After marriage, there was no mother-in-law, sister-in-law or sister-in-law. He Tian became the mistress of he family.
I go back to my mother's house every three or five times. Every time I go back, I wrap a big bag and a small package.
Mrs. Han will also boast that he Tian is a filial daughter and a good sister who loves her brother.
The neighbors envy and cannot help but make complaints about it: Ho is not a filial piety. He often takes money from his mother-in-law's family to supplement his mother's family. Sheng Sheng keeps the family smooth!
How poor the Tian family is. They are the bottom families in tianjiawa.
But they built three big tile roofed houses by selling their daughters. Oh, no, it was the bride price of the three daughters and the subsidy of the eldest daughter.
Tian Yaozong was able to study in the town.
Unfortunately, Tian Yaozong is a stone that doesn't open his mind. After reading for several years, he spent more than a dozen dollars on bundle repair and books, and only knew a few words.
Want to take the imperial examination?
you must be dreaming!
He is not qualified to be an accountant!
But Mrs. Han refused to admit that her son was stupid and said that she couldn't afford to pay for the difficulties at home——
Pooh!
Not everyone is He Tian, Da Niu Tian.
Some villagers don't believe what Mrs. Han said at all.
Difficulties at home?
Hum, if the Tian family were really difficult, would they raise Tian Yaozong fat and fat?
In addition, Tian Yaozong didn't enter school, but he wore a new long shirt and went to town to drink with people.
It's called a poetry club or a small gathering. In fact, it's a feast of flowers and wine.
He Tian was a fool. He believed his mother's words, tightened his belt, gave birth to a child, and wanted to be a cow and a horse for his mother's family and his brother.
He Erniu still found the problem. He didn't go to the bodyguard for a year, but stayed at home and looked at his wife, which made he Tian's convergence a little.
He Tian also gave birth to his only son he Xiaobao this year.
He Erniu was more tolerant to his daughter-in-law for his son's face.
Because he Erniu has a son, he Erniu is also more progressive - I want to make money, I want to study for my son, build a new house for him and marry a daughter-in-law!
So he Erniu continued to go out to escort and make money desperately.
He Erniu was not completely at ease with He Tian, but he thought that if a woman had her own child, even if she didn't love her husband for herself, she would love the piece of meat that fell off her body.
However, he Erniu underestimated the power of the veteran Voldemort.
However, because he Erniu lost his temper before, He Tian was frightened in the end.
She didn't mean to stop mending her mother's house, but changed from the big publicity in the past to sneaking and learning to disguise.
When he Erniu was at home, He Tian pretended and was willing to give his son eggs, meat, fine grain and make new clothes.
He Erniu mistakenly thought that his wife had really changed.
Sometimes, he Erniu feels a little sorry and feels that he shouldn't lose his temper with his wife.
It's normal for women to think about their parents.
If he Tian's family cut with his mother's family after getting married and ignored his mother, father and brother, he Erniu would also mutter in his heart.
Of course, "guilt" is only for a moment. Human nature is selfish.
Seeing that he Tian was willing to live a down-to-earth life instead of thinking about his mother's family every day, he Erniu put down his heart to her.
He gave all his money to his wife.
As a result, there was trouble!
This winter, when the imperial court wanted to repair the river embankment, it enlisted labor.
According to the regulations, he Erniu, the only adult male in the family, has to go to labor.
However, it's too hard to build the river embankment, and it's still free.
With this time, he Erniu can go to Fucheng for a dart, and he can earn two passes back and forth.
In previous years, he Erniu would pay for management, and this year is no exception.
However, when he Erniu asked he Tian to take the money, He Tian's eyes dodged and talked.
Finally, he Erniu forced him to be anxious. He Tian cried, "there's no money!"
He Erniu was hit by five thunders.
Although he asked Hotan's housekeeper to give the money directly to his wife every time he came back, he looked like a shopkeeper who threw his hand away.
But he still knows how much money he has made in recent years.
Not to mention more, there is always twenty dollars.
There should still be fifteen or six times in the family, regardless of daily expenses, or the money for occasional minor illness, pain, medical treatment and medicine.
As a result, he Erniu searched every corner of the house and found only a dozen copper coins.
He Erniu's eyes were red and almost slapped He Tian.
He Tian was frightened and spoke the truth tremblingly——
"The younger brother wants to get a kiss, and the woman wants a four-way dowry. I don't have so much money."
"My brother and daughter-in-law are pregnant and need to eat delicious food. A moonlight egg and meat cost a lot of money."
Of course, these are trivial daily expenses.
The biggest one, which is also the real search for all the savings of he family, is this thing: "my brother met a friend and said that he could get the test questions. As long as he had the test questions, my brother could win the test!"
Once you are a scholar, you are a real scholar.
Tian Yaozong will be able to become a real person who honors his ancestors.
Therefore, although he Tian was distressed and afraid that his husband would be angry when he knew it, he still stubbornly gave the last eight Guan money to his mother, Mrs. Han.
He Erniu took care of his labor service. In total, he Erniu paid exactly eight yuan.
In fact, if he Tian could say it earlier, he Erniu could go to the escort agency or borrow some good brothers.
However, He Tian kept it a secret until he was forced to tell the truth at the last minute.
At this time, he Erniu didn't have time to borrow money.
There is a donkey and more than ten mu of land at home. If you buy it, you can get it together.
But if you sell these, you can't live in the future?
It's just labor. It's not being dragged to the border to fight. At most, it's suffering. It's not enough to break the pot and sell iron.
After he Erniu was angry, he calmed down. He reluctantly said to his wife, "forget it, I'd better go to labor and take good care of your children at home!"
Of course, what he Erniu should knock is still to knock.
With a cold face, he said in a deep voice, "just a little. This is the last time. If you dare to mend your mother's house again, you'll go back to the Tian family."
"Also, it doesn't mean that I'll leave you even if it's finished. If I come back from hard work and find that my home doesn't look like a home and you don't look like any daughter-in-law, I'll settle accounts with the Tian family!"
Speaking of this, he Erniu raised his big fist in a copper bowl and smiled coldly: "I don't hit women, but I can hit the little bastard of Tian Yaozong!"
"I just don't know. Your useless brother who only knows to eat meat and drink blood on his sister can withstand a few punches!"
Boom!
He Erniu finished talking and smashed a broken stool at home.
He Tian was directly frightened because she saw madness and ruthlessness from her husband's eyes!
What he said is true. If he tightens his belt to fatten his mother's family, he Erniu will really settle with Tian Yaozong!
With this warning, He Tian was really honest.
Moreover, she felt guilty.
Anyway, he Erniu is his own man and her son's father.
But because she gave the money to her mother's family, her husband had to run to repair the river embankment in winter.
That is, he family has no in laws. Otherwise, those elders will have to divorce he Tian.
He Tian's family just brainwashed her, but she's not really stupid.
She knew in her heart that when a woman married, what she could really count on was her husband and son.
Of course, her brother is also her dependence, but he Tian is also afraid that he Erniu will really run to beat her brother.
Forget it, forget it, this winter will be like this. When her husband comes back, she will take a soft suit and apologize, coax her husband's heart back, and then try to help her mother's family!
He Tian's idea is very good. Even he Erniu never thought that he would say goodbye as soon as he left.
Yes, there was a military disaster before the winter was over.
There was a riot in the dam built by he Erniu. He was forced to flee to other places by the mob.
On the side of Hejia village, there were riots, then bandits, and drought next spring.
He Tian could hardly live, so he had to run back to his mother's house with his children.
Mrs. Han, who has always been haggling over money, took in Mrs. Hetian's mother and son. Don't get me wrong. Mrs. Han didn't have a mother's love attack or a conscience discovery.
She stared at his family's ten Mu field and the shouting donkey.
In famine years, the land was not very valuable.
However, Mrs. Han sold the fields of he family earlier and sold them for more than ten yuan.
When the disaster was serious and Mrs. Han finally reluctantly sold her field, no one wanted it.
Because at this time, someone has proposed to escape from famine.
Mrs. Han is wringing her hands and thankful. In fact, she still doesn't want to sell land.
She thought very carefully and felt that even if she was to escape from famine, she would still go back to her hometown when the famine passed.
If the field is sold, what will Yaozong do?
Anyway, she has more than ten yuan to sell hejiatian, a shouting donkey and a very capable eldest daughter. Even if she goes to escape from famine, Mrs. Han has confidence in her heart
