Chapter 9 Bamboo Horse Sees Ome

"Mother, mother, the baby taker is here!"

Some adults sometimes use the phrase "If you are disobedient, sell it to someone who accepts children" to intimidate disobedient children. Therefore, in Zhao Zhitong's heart, he is very afraid of selling children.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who would take in children?" Sun Mei didn't take Zhao Zhitong's words seriously.

"Really, it's true, mother, I saw with my own eyes that my aunt gave Sister Yaya to an old woman, and the old woman gave back the money to my aunt!" Zhao Zhitong was in a hurry, and excitedly talked about the outside things again.

After listening to Zhao Zhitong's description, Sun Mei's expression paused, and she understood what was going on. She was probably the sister-in-law who sold her daughter into slavery!

In ancient times, if the family was poor and had nowhere to go, it was common for them to sell their sons and daughters, but when it happened to her, it was still unacceptable for a while.

So, he hurriedly stood up, without even caring about drying his hands, he hurried out.

By the time Sun Mei and her two passed by, the toothmaid and Zhu Sanniang had already signed the contract of sale and were about to leave.

Maybe knowing that there is no room for maneuver, the three children are no longer crying, only sobbing softly.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to sell Yaya?" This time Sun Mei didn't have any tact, and said directly: "Sister-in-law, brother is not here, if you have any difficulties, just come to me, if there are any difficulties that you can't solve, how can you help me?" You can sell Yaya, isn't this pushing people into the fire pit, after all, it's also the meat that fell from your body!"

Zhu Sanniang's face was very ugly, and she stared at Sun Mei with a hint of jealousy in her eyes: "What are you talking about, what do you mean by pushing into the fire pit? Yaya is going to enjoy the blessings, and go to the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles. It's no better than starving to death at home..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun immediately became angry: "Enjoy blessings? If you sell her, her children will not be able to get rid of their humble status for the rest of their lives. They will not be able to study or take scientific examinations. Worse, if they fall When you go to a bad household, the master beats you as much as you want, scolds you as you please, and your life is in his hands. Do you call this a blessing? This blessing is for you, do you want it!"

Zhu Sanniang hadn't opened her mouth yet, but the human tooth woman over there interrupted and said, "Oh, what you said is wrong, my old woman interrupted, if it is a clever person, teach it well, go to a rich family Inside, serving a young lady and master, isn't life better than living in the countryside?"

When she said this, her eyes were still lingering on Zhao Zhitong: "Your girl looks really good, if you are willing to sell it, I will pay you five taels of silver."

Sun Mei immediately pulled Zhao Zhitong behind her, and said sternly: "Our family is not for sale!"

"Hey, if you don't sell it, don't sell it. Why are you so fierce?" Well, I've gained something today, so I won't waste my time talking with you ignorant women in the countryside, and I'm leaving."

Sun Mei held back her anger, but she didn't say anything about the mother-in-law. She just felt sorry for the child who was taken away. She was really hurt by her mother who sold her like this.

Zhu Sanniang looked at Sun Mei unkindly, and said sarcastically, "Mr. Sun, don't always stand up and pretend to be a good person, just talk about who can't. The deed of sale has already been signed. If you are really kind, go and redeem him." Come back! Redeem it and it will be yours, well, you haven’t gone far, so it’s still too late to rush there.”

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the two sons and walked home, cursing as he walked: "Fake benevolence, hypocrisy, shit!"

Bang!

A loud noise separated Sun Mei, mother and daughter from the door.

"Mother."

Zhao Zhitong blinked at Sun Mei, and for some reason, she felt a little sad.

Thought that Zhao Zhitong was frightened, Sun Mei hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, mother will not sell my Tongtong even if she dies."

Zhao Zhitong nodded: "Then, where is Sister Yaya?"

Sun Mei shook her head helplessly, the deed of prostitution was signed, and if she wanted to redeem herself, she would have to pay fifty times the ransom, that is, one hundred and fifty taels to redeem the person.

Their family only got five taels of silver when they separated, and spent a lot of money on buying vegetables and vegetable seeds.

After this incident, Zhao Zhitong's mood has not been high, until he and Sun Mei arrived at the school, they were still a little listless.

After arriving at the school, Sun Mei told Zhao Zhitong a few words as usual, and then went into the kitchen.

If it had been as usual, as soon as Sun Mei left, Zhao Zhitong would rush to the front yard to find his friends in the school.

However, after experiencing the matter of her aunt selling her child just now, she was a little worried, so she sat on the stone pier at the head of the vegetable field, staring at the vegetable leaves with her little head in a daze.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Zhitong really couldn't figure it out, so he chatted with Grandpa Bai in the space: "Grandpa Bai, Sister Yaya is also the child of my aunt, why doesn't she love Sister Yaya?"

Grandpa Bai in the   space stroked his beard and said, "Girl, not all parents in this world love their children like the girl's father and mother."

After thinking for a while, Grandpa Bai said again: "Some may be like maids and parents who love their children very much at first, but if they are mixed with various interests and hatreds, and they are worn down endlessly, the love will turn into hatred. What's more, there are still many selfish people in the world who betray family affection for their own self-interest, which is normal."

"Grandpa Bai, are you saying that one day in the future, parents will not love me, but will also hate me?"

Grandpa Bai was silent for a moment and said: "According to my observation, the girl's parents will not be the kind of people who will sell their daughters for glory, but people will change, and love will disappear. Time is a very magical thing. Something that can change everything, no one can guarantee that the relationship will remain the same."

Zhao Zhitong felt sad when he heard it, and felt that it shouldn't be like this, and when he thought that his parents would not love her and not want her in the future, he couldn't help crying sadly, but most of them didn't believe it.

"You lie, my parents love me the most, and my parents will not want me.

Grandpa Bai fell silent, and suddenly felt that it seemed a little cruel to say this to such a small doll, so he changed the phrase and said again: "Your parents love her very much, that's for sure, but, you need to know , love is mutual, if you love others, others will love you, so the relationship can last forever.”

Zhao Zhitong nodded heavily with red eyes: "I will love my parents very much, and I will love Grandpa Bai too."

Their relationship will definitely last forever.

Grandpa Bai smiled happily when he heard this: "I know that girl is a good boy."

Received the praise of Grandpa Bai, Zhao Zhitong's gloomy mood just got a little better.

Just as she wiped away her tears and calmed down, a boy's crisp voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Are you Zhao Zhitong whom my husband often mentions?"

Hearing someone calling her, Zhao Zhitong turned around and saw a fair-looking little boy standing in front of her.
