When Su Man saw Xiao Bao's eyes, she couldn't help but curl her lips and said in a slow tone,

"Xiaobao, come and eat quickly. If you don't eat, it will get cold and I will be angry."

Xiaobao couldn't help but look at Dabao next to him.

"elder brother……"

Dabao also swallowed hard, but he still didn't believe Su Man.

Su Man sighed, "Alright, alright, I'll be out. You two should enjoy your meal. If you haven't finished eating when I come in, I'll be really angry!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door without waiting for the two children to answer. But just after she turned around and took two steps, she heard loud knocks on the door and a woman's voice.

"Fu family! Come out quickly! I'm coming! Are your two children ready? I brought the money!"

Hearing the voice, Su Man paused, and the two children's emotions, which had finally calmed down, became agitated again.

Dabao: "I knew it! You are a bad woman! You can never believe what you say! You just want to sell us out! I will never let you sell my brother! If you dare to sell my brother out, I will never let you go!"

Xiaobao: "Wuwuwu...Brother...I'm scared, what should I do, wuwuwu...I don't want to be sold. Mom, please don't sell my brother and me, okay? My brother and I don't want to eat, we are not hungry, we will go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables tomorrow, wuwuwu..."

The two children's words made Su Man sigh again.

She turned to look at the two children and said,

"First of all, I still say the same thing. I won't sell you out. I was wrong before, but now I know I am correcting it. You two can have a good meal here while I go deal with that damn human trafficker.

If I finish dealing with them and you haven't finished eating the porridge and egg custard when they come in, I will be really angry. Also, if you don't want to be sold without my permission, you must stay in the room and not go out! "

After she finished speaking, she left the room and closed the door.

Dabao reacted very quickly. While Xiaobao was still immersed in Su Man's words, he quickly got out of bed, locked the door, and then climbed up the wall in one go.

Su Man outside also smiled after hearing the noise.

Okay, now there are no problems with the two children, it’s time to solve the troubles left by the original body.

Xiaobao was very confused when he saw his brother climbing up and down.

"Brother, do you think what she just said is true? She really won't sell us out?"

"I don't know, but we have to eat these quickly so that we can have enough strength to fight the bad guys later. Eat quickly."

Dabao gave the spoon to Xiaobao, and the two of them didn't go to the door anymore and just started eating.

The two children had not eaten such delicious food for a long time. No, it should be said that they had not eaten hot food for a long time.

Especially Xiaobao, he couldn't help crying after taking the first bite.

Dabao's eyes also turned red, but he knew that he was the older brother and he couldn't cry because he had to take care of his younger brother.

"Eat quickly. After you finish eating, we won't be hungry or cold anymore. Even if someone bullies you, I will have the strength to protect you."

Xiaobao nodded, and then ate the egg custard in big mouthfuls.

They really like the fragrant and tender egg custard and the sweet porridge.

In the years that followed, they ate many delicious dishes, but they always remembered the taste of the millet porridge and egg custard today.

It was a turning point in their lives and the most delicious thing they had ever eaten.

Su Man walked slowly to the door of the yard, and when she saw the axe behind the yard, she took it in her hand and played with it for a while.

Tsk, and also, it just feels too light, like it doesn't have much feel, but it's enough to deal with the human trafficker at the door.

"Is there anyone here? If not, I'll just bust the door and walk in!"

The voice was really extremely unpleasant, and it sounded neither male nor female, and it felt a bit like a mouthful of old phlegm stuck in the throat, which made people feel sick just by listening to it.

"Here I am. What's your name?"

Su Man responded as she opened the door.

When I opened the door, I found four people standing at the door, two men and two women.

The lady standing in the front with a very eye-catching pink flower on her head is the human trafficker this time, known as Mother Li.

The woman next to Mother Li is Widow Wang from the same village, who is the so-called good "girlfriend" of the original body.

As for the two muscular men behind her, they are Mother Li's thugs. Mother Li is well-known in the surrounding villages for helping others sell children.

Su Man held the axe with one hand and put the other hand on her waist, looking at the four people at the door and asked,

"Why are you knocking on the door? Don't you know my family is poor? If I break it, will you be responsible for paying for it?"

When Mrs. Li heard her words, she immediately laughed and said,

"Hey, Fu family, why are you still worried about this broken door? You will have money soon. The two children will give you twenty-five taels of silver. Twenty-five taels can last you a long time."

Su Man sneered. In this world where a family can live in the countryside for a year with five taels of silver, twenty-five taels of silver is indeed a lot.

But when she thought about the fact that the two children were only worth twenty-five taels, she became furious.

Of course, she was not only angry because of this, but also because children could be sold at a fixed price. This was such a disgusting and hateful behavior.

She glanced at the villagers behind Widow Wang and the others, then looked away.

These villagers all knew Mother Li, and they probably followed her here after seeing her.

This era is so helpless that even selling a child can be done legitimately as long as the parents are willing.

She could only say that it was a good thing she came, otherwise the two children might really have been sold.

"Selling two children so I can live a good life for a few years? I won't make money like that! And when did I say I wanted to sell two children? You are clearly coming to my house to snatch my children blatantly! If you do this, I can definitely sue you in the government!"

Mother Li and Widow Wang were all shocked by Su Man's words.

"Oh, I'm talking to the Fu family! What's wrong with you, woman? You actually go back on your word?" Mother Li was so angry that she pointed at Su Man.

"It was you who came to me yesterday and told me that I was going to sell your two boys today! How dare you turn your back on me now?"

The villagers began to point fingers at Su Man, and some even quietly left to look for the village chief.

Su Man naturally saw the person who left, but she just glanced at him and then looked away.

"Heh... You said I went to you to sell your two boys? Then tell me who can testify? Is it these two useless thugs around you? Or is it this widow Wang who gossips everywhere in the village?

If you say this, people will laugh, right? These people are all your people, they must be on your side. What? Are you relying on your numbers to come to our Yongping Village to kidnap children? "

Mother Li has been working in this line of work for many years and has never suffered such humiliation. She was extremely angry.
