Only this green, not disappointing the spring

After hearing this, Mrs. Li burst into tears. Why does this child have such a miserable life?

Zhou Xiaoxi clenched her fists in anger, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath and exhaled. The anger in her heart was still hard to dissipate.

However, Zhao, who usually had a hot temper, was unusually silent.

This kind of thing had happened in the village before, and she was powerless to do anything about it.

The child belongs to someone else, and as an outsider, I have no way to interfere. Even if I report to the county government, it will be of no avail.

Their Da'an country did not prohibit the human trafficking, nor could it prohibit it. Otherwise, who would be responsible for taking care of the food, clothing and daily life of those nobles?

Fortunately, the weather has been good and the crops have been good in recent years. Otherwise, the problem of cannibalism would have happened again. What's more, it was just a daughter being sold, and she was sold to a dirty place like a brothel!

At most, she would ask the head of the village to come to their house and persuade them in person. As for whether they would listen or not, that was their family's business. No matter how prestigious Li Shoucai was, he could not interfere in other people's family affairs.

At this time Zhou Xiaonan suddenly said:

"Can we go ask Doctor Zhang for help? After all, he's very knowledgeable and capable!"

This reminded Zhou Xiaoxi that she might be able to find someone to help her, but it was not Dr. Zhang.

Before Zhang Da Nv could have lunch at Zhao's house, she was rudely dragged away by Zhang Ergou, who also said that their daughter was going to enjoy a good life in the city and would not come to work again.

Zhao was so angry that her face turned blue, but she could do nothing.

The father and daughter were pulling each other all the way, making quite a noise. Many villagers came out to watch, and apart from sighing a few times, they could only watch helplessly.

Zhang Danniu cried her heart out at the beginning, but she was completely numb by the end.

After returning home, Zhang Ergou pushed her casually, and she fell to the ground lifeless like a doll without support.

Zhang Ergou opened his sleepy eyes and threatened fiercely:

"Hurry up and pack your things. I'll take you to the city in a little while. I'm sending you to the city to enjoy life. Why wouldn't you want to do that? Are you mentally ill?!"

The eldest girl's mother hid in the kitchen preparing lunch and secretly wiped away her tears. As for her two brothers, they stayed in their rooms and slept soundly, indifferent to the noise in the yard.

Yesterday was the festival, their father bought some wine and the two brothers drank a little. They are still dizzy now and have no mood to care about the life or death of their adopted sister!

That afternoon, Zhang Danniu was sold to a human trafficker by her father. She originally thought that she would be a maid in a wealthy family, but she didn't expect that she would have to work for a human trafficker.

As to where she will be sold in the future, it is completely unknown.

……

Ever since Old Man Liu came to Xiangxue Village, Li Dali no longer had to step in to pick up and drop off Zhou Xiaonan.

Just after the hour of Wei, Zhou Xiaoxi and Zhou Xiaonan went to the city together on Old Man Liu's donkey cart.

Old Man Liu has been in a very good mood recently. His wife, who is very kind to him, is pregnant and will give birth to a donkey next year. This is a great thing!

However, Zhou Xiaoxi had already made a reservation in advance, and the little donkey would be sold to their family after it was weaned.

She originally planned to buy a cow, but now there is a donkey ready-made in her village, which is convenient and reliable. So of course she had to make a decision early.

Zhou Xiaonan was very curious about how her sister would help Big Sister. In fact, Zhou Xiaoxi didn't have a clear idea. She only knew a few people, and there was no third choice except to ask Yang Dongjia or Fu Dongjia for help.

The decision to build an inn at the entrance of the village had been made long ago. Although it was too cold to lay the foundation, it did not delay other preparatory work.

Because time was tight, after discussion, a few people decided to build a smaller one first and then expand it in the future.

Zhou Xiaoxi decided to host the two of them for a simple meal and discuss both business and personal matters.

Yang Zian felt sorry for Zhou Xiaoxi's hard work in making money, so he simply picked a noodle shop that looked pretty good and sat down in a secluded corner.

Zhou Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed.

"Brother Yang, this isn't a good idea. Isn't the environment a bit too simple?"

It seems a bit awkward to have two banished immortal-like characters sitting in a small noodle restaurant to eat.

Fu Qiuyang took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped Zhou Xiaoxi's seat vigorously, glanced at Zhou Xiaoxi and said:

"We two are the ones who were treated to a meal and we haven't complained yet, why are you, a little girl, so troublesome?"

Well, typical of a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart!

Yang Zian lifted his robe and sat down, also smiling and saying:

"Don't be fooled by the small size of this noodle shop. I heard that this family has inherited the craftsmanship from their ancestors, and the noodles taste very good."

After the three of them sat down, Fu Qiuyang said with a smile:

"Sister Xiaoxi, if nothing unexpected happens, your wallet will be bulging after the auction is over! Oh, I'm getting excited just thinking about it!"

Speaking of this, Yang Zian was also a little curious.

"I wonder where Brother Qiu Yang has scheduled the auction? I wonder if there is still a place for me?"

Fu Qiuyang was in a very good mood and laughed unrestrainedly.

Zhou Xiaoxi quickly looked around vigilantly. Fortunately, this guy had his back to everyone. If someone saw his smiling face that brought disaster to the country and the people, they would probably have to leave without getting anything to eat.

"We have reserved the Xiankelai Restaurant for the whole day, and we will certainly send an invitation to your house when the time comes. I wonder if Brother Zi'an has any family members planning to go? Let me know now so that I can pass on the instructions. It is indeed quite popular, and many foreign businessmen have asked for invitations. I am both relieved and a bit troubled!"

This is not difficult to understand, and Zhou Xiaoxi understood it as soon as he heard it.

Those people were like the "scalpers" in her previous life, squeezing through their necks to buy things, with the goal of selling them at sky-high prices and making a profit. They were so black-hearted!

For Fu Qiuyang, although there was no major loss, it was bad for his reputation.

However, there is no good solution to this problem, unless you have extensive connections and invite wealthy merchants and nobles who are here just for the goods, so that those who speculate will not have the opportunity to buy them.

Yang Zian was a little hesitant whether to lend a helping hand. After all, his current identity was just a small medicinal herb merchant, and he had no plans to change.

Zhou Xiaoxi said:

"I think we should just let it go. After all, the reputation of Shangpin Pavilion is limited to Shancang County. Even if most of the goods are bought by merchants with ulterior motives, as long as they end up in the hands of noble people, our reputation will be spread."

Zhou Xiaoxi suddenly revealed a sly smile as he spoke.

"Don't forget, every Jade Rabbit Blessing Bag is embroidered with the name of our Shangpin Pavilion, even the dolls and purses are no exception. Although the things are sold by others, the reputation is earned by us."

Fu Qiuyang thought it made sense and stopped worrying about it.

Yang Zian has always been a careful person. When he first met Zhou Xiaoxi, he noticed that the girl frowned from time to time.

The noodles and side dishes in this noodle shop tasted very good. Zhou Xiaoxi, who usually had a good appetite, seemed to have no appetite at this moment.

Obviously there is something worrying.

So he asked:

"Xiaoxi, you seem to be worried, do you need help?"
