The seventh chapter's wound healed, but reality was not always as satisfactory. For example, he was currently faced with a dilemma. Even with his uncle and aunt changing their expressions every day, he had never thought of giving up.
Now that he had made this decision, it was obvious how he was feeling. It was something that could not be explained without a choice.
Although he knew logically that making this decision was the most correct decision, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't even read the book anymore. Thus, he got up and went outside, and saw Jin Niang, who was sitting in the courtyard in a daze.
Her eyes were filled with confusion. Her entire person was cold and lonely, and she even had a pitiful look in her eyes.
He only knew a little about her from other people, and he was a pitiful person, but who wouldn't be pitiful these days?
Even if he paid money to buy her, in Su Moyan's heart, Jin Niang was still just a stranger, a stranger that could allow them to quickly assimilate into the village.
's existence reminded him that at that time, he could almost be considered to be forcefully buying and selling them, and it was hard to avoid feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
Jin Niang didn't know what Su Moyan was thinking in her heart, nor did she know about the difficult situation she was facing.
She had never been a person without a sense of worry, not to mention that relying on others was not as good as relying on herself. She had always known this, so she was now thinking about how to get the first pot of gold.
He looked down at himself and couldn't help but let out another sigh. What could this body do now?
Due to severe malnutrition, her seven year old body looked like it was only four or five years old, and she had even just recovered from a serious illness. Yesterday's strenuous performance had caused her to lose some blood, making her look so weak that even she despised her own appearance.
You still want to make money with such ambition? It was more realistic to lie in bed and dream.
So, the most important thing for her to do right now was to take care of her body. As the saying goes, a sharpened knife doesn't waste wood. What she needed to do now was to accumulate strength to prepare for the future.
Thinking about it, Jin Niang clenched her fists and encouraged herself secretly. She then found it was too hot outside and went back to her room.
Su Moyan curiously looked at Qian Jin, who was confused a moment ago. She couldn't understand what had just happened.
However, the weather was really hot, and before noon, they could already feel the scorching sun. Many villagers had gone to the ground to fetch water for their crops, and after a long time without seeing rain, the ground had dried up and cracked.
However, everyone continued to persevere. Whether it was out of luck or unwillingness, they still had to water the land for food in the future.
However, there was a hint of bitterness on everyone's faces. In this era where one looked at the sky and ate, if the heavens did not give them food, the commoners could only look on helplessly.
Furthermore, this year was not just a natural disaster, the people outside made things worse. War was not only a matter of death, but also of spending money. The people did not have money, so they still had food.
In times of war, there were always many types of exorbitant taxes. Even if you paid taxes in good times, you might not be able to eat to your heart's content, let alone in times of disaster.
The village was filled with sighs. With this matter pressing on his mind, the matter of Jin Niang being sold was quickly forgotten.
Su Mo Yan and Xia Lanqing had just moved to the village, so they didn't have any land to purchase. They didn't need to worry about the crops, but there were a lot of things they needed to worry about.
Xia Lanqing also wanted Su Mo Yan to enter the Academy as soon as possible. Previously, she had already delayed Su Moyan for a while, so she could not delay her any further. As Jin Niang nurtured his body, he also thought about what he could do.
Everyone has their own ideas and goals.
The wound on Jin Niang's head was not serious at all. On the second day, it scabbed over, and after recuperating for a few days, it was more or less healed up completely. When her body was better, Xia Lanqing also let her out and walk around.
Coincidentally, Jin Niang wanted to understand the situation, so she agreed Xia Lanqing's decision smoothly.
However, under the continuous drought, the river had dried up a long time ago. The trees and shrubs on the mountain were all dispirited and listless, as if they had been struck by a layer of frost, ruining their original beauty.
After the meal, everyone sat under the tree in groups of twos and threes and chatted, accompanied by the laughter and laughter of the children around them. It was a peaceful scene to behold.
However, Jin Niang knew that this was only on the surface. The burden of living pressed on everyone's heart, and with the recent marriage of a few daughters in the village, they would be able to receive a dowry, and at least save a mouthful of food.
At this time, it would be difficult for a married daughter to establish herself in her in-laws' home. Even if they were to marry into the family every year, no one would know what it meant and it would always leave a trail for others to talk about.
It wasn't easy for a woman to live, and under the premise of such inequality, one could imagine what would happen in the future.
However, no matter how bad it was, it was better than selling their daughters to a house, so no matter how selfish they were, they could not compare to Yang Lihua and Lin Dasheng.
When Jin Niang came out, it still caused a huge commotion. The incident that day was so noisy that practically everyone in the village had personally witnessed it the moment Jin Niang was sold.
Humans were actually very strange creatures, they had sympathy for Jin Niang before she died. However, after Su Mo Yan and Xia Lanqing bought Jin Niang, their attitude changed, and they started to envy her.
Su Moyan was a scholar. In the eyes of the villagers, she was a very sacred and respected person. Moreover, from the carriages they drove from the outside and the clothes they wore, it could be seen that their conditions were not ordinary.
As for Jin Niang, that pitiful brat from before actually managed to get herself into such a household, so everyone's attitude towards her went from sympathy to dissatisfaction, this person was truly lucky!
Especially when Yang Lihua's daughter-in-law was brought out, the big guy was even more unhappy. Why?
[You are clearly a person who is as low as a speck of dust, yet suddenly, you suddenly become so superior that you look down upon them. How can you feel at ease with that?]
Jin Niang was just such an existence in their eyes.
Then, someone began to curse her in private. No matter how good her luck was, she was still a lousy beauty. No matter how good-looking she was, who would be willing to take her after that?
He couldn't help but gloat.
Now, when he saw that Jin Niang's head was still wrapped with a handkerchief, he could not help but think darkly that the scar that was left behind must have been too ugly so he had no choice but to cover it up.
Although Jin Niang didn't know what these people were thinking, her heart was slightly uncomfortable being sized up by their eyes. She secretly frowned, and couldn't help but regret coming out like this.
She did not want to be nosy, but someone else had such a thought. Seeing the crowd of people walking towards the foot of the mountain, there were people who could not sit still, "Could this Jin Niang has really become an idiot? "In the past, her personality was very good. She even knew how to greet people when she saw them, but now, she doesn't even dare to walk into the crowd."
The one who spoke was the young wife who helped Liu Cuiping the other day. Her man was called Lin Shan, everyone called her Lin Shan's family.
Although Lin Shan said it was a pity, his face was full of malice and disdain. How good of a daughter could a woman like Yang Lihua give birth to?
"Maybe I have something to do." She just felt that it was not nice to talk about a child behind his back like this, and Jin Niang was already quite pitiful.
The Lin Shan family curled their lips and no longer said anything, they clearly did not agree with what they were saying, but she would not say anything unpleasant in front of so many people, and only smiled faintly without uttering a single word, but his attitude showed everything.
The Lin Shan family had enmity with Yang Lihua, and their connections were not small as well, so even they did not like Jin Niang. Although their words were spoken gently, they were the ones who knew how to use soft knives.
But to think that there were no conflicts with Yang Lihua in the Lin Family Village, it would probably be difficult to find him, Yang Lihua usually had her mouth broken, she loved to take small advantages of people, and sometimes she was even very shameless, who could stand him?
However, Lin Shan's family and his relationship with his was not so cut. As I said before, Yang Lihua was not the same.
Lin Shan was younger than Yang Lihua by two years. When Yang Lihua married into the Lin Family Village, she was still a hotheaded youth, and she hadn't even settled her marriage matters yet. She had a lot of yearning for women, and then, Yang Lihua appeared.
Although nothing substantial happened between them, it was still an indisputable fact that Lin Shan was bewitched by Yang Lihua at that time.
At that time, Yang Lihua did not have that much guts, although she had deliberately captivated Lin Shan, and did not dare to be too excessive, but there was a saying that even without a wall, the villagers still found some clues, and then, some people began to gossip behind him.
After Lin Shan decided to get married, he no longer kept in contact with Yang Lihua, but this matter had still reached the ears of the Lin Shan family, and she hated Yang Lihua to death!
However, she was not being impulsive. Instead, she was being watched over by her husband at home, preventing him from interacting with Yang Lihua anymore. There was another aspect where she was trying to dig a hole for Yang Lihua.
At that time, because of Jin Niang's good looks, it was spread that she was not Lin Da Shun's son, and the one who started it was Lin Shan's family.
She used her sinister heart to dig a hole and bury the little girl, just because she wanted to disgust Yang Lihua and make life difficult for her.
It could also be said that although Jin Niang's tragedy wasn't directly caused by her, it also had absolutely a lot to do with each other.
did not know any of these, she simply did not want to interact with those people, and looked at them with an uncomfortable gaze.
However, things won't be as simple as you hiding. When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she saw five six or seven year old children surrounding a little girl. The little girl immediately looked disgusted when she saw her.
Pointing at her, he scolded her, "Shameless! You're already in a bad mood, yet you still dare to depend on Big Brother Mo Yan!"
