Farmer's Cannon Fodder: Listen to me, the whole family, change the plot

Although Su Laier was young, she still knew what a concubine was.

A relative of the younger sisters in the same village became a concubine.

During the time of picking mushrooms, the sisters once talked about the topic of "being a concubine". Everyone had mixed opinions on this topic, but apart from the wealth they envied, the sisters were unwilling to be concubines.

Because, they had heard from their masters, a concubine was almost like a slave in the house.

You are a good person and you haven't sold yourself, so why would you rush to be someone else's slave?

Therefore, Su Laier, who roughly knew what being a concubine meant, was opposed to this matter in her heart.

But she knew that her opinion was not important, and she also knew that if she could get this marriage now, her mother, who needed someone to be her punching bag, would not be able to do anything to her.

So, she lowered her head obediently, as if letting Old Lady Su decide.

She even thought to herself that she was not going to follow him today anyway, so she could just ask around with her sisters. After finding out everything, if the life of a concubine was really bad, she would just follow Su Xianger's example and run away from the Su family.

However, her thoughts were good, but the reality was very cruel.

After Old Mrs. Su agreed to this "marriage", the old man swiftly took out a piece of paper and a box of ink from his sleeve.

"We have a custom of buying concubines in our Cheng family. Madam, please sign the agreement quickly. After Miss Su Lai'er puts her handprint on it, the process will be complete. Miss Su Lai'er can call me Aunt Su and follow me back to the Cheng Mansion."

The old man stood up, walked to Old Lady Su, spread the paper flatly on the table next to where Old Lady Su was sitting, and opened the lid of the jar containing ink, looking very considerate.

"Leaving today?" Old Mrs. Su asked hesitantly.

She really didn't expect that the process of buying a concubine back to the Cheng Mansion would be so fast and she could be taken away as soon as she was bought.

"Isn't this a contract of selling one's body?" Old Mrs. Su didn't ask. It was Su Laier who asked because she knew that this trend could not be changed.

"No." The old man answered confidently: "This is the document for taking a concubine."

After hearing that it was not a contract to sell one's body, Su Laier nodded with relief.

But what he didn't know was that taking a concubine was a written document and was no different from a contract of selling one's body.

With the documents of taking a concubine, after Su Laier arrived at the Cheng Mansion, even if her life was bad or unhappy, she would be a member of the Cheng Mansion in life and a ghost of the Cheng Mansion in death.

Not to mention, what was written on the piece of paper the old man took out had nothing to do with the official document of taking a concubine. He just knew that everyone in the Su family could read, so he used the contract of selling one's body and dying to impersonate the document of taking a concubine.

If a concubine who has been approved as a concubine suddenly dies or goes missing, the government will investigate.

But for this "concubine" who had signed a contract to sell herself to death, no one would care even if she was beaten to death.

Old Mrs. Su was illiterate, so naturally she had no idea what was written on it.

The only literate person in the Su family is Su Xikui. Su Xikui is in the town and is not at home at all.

So Old Lady Su secretly looked at the old man's expression, and seeing that there was no guilt on her face, she naturally thought that there was nothing wrong with the content on the paper in front of her.

She signed and sealed the document decisively, then urged Su Laier to put her fingerprints on it, and finally returned the paper to the old man respectfully.

The old man took a quick glance and saw that two handprints had been pressed on it. Satisfied, he folded the paper and stuffed it back into his sleeve.

"Let's go, Aunt Su."

Everything has been done, now all we have to do is take Su Lai'er back.

The old man didn't have much time to stay in the Su family. After putting the paper into his sleeve, he urged Su Laier to go with him.

"You can leave today, but I have to pack some things!"

Su Lai'er actually didn't have anything to pack. She wanted to go to the backyard and show off in front of Song Xiuhe.

She thought that she was the concubine of a young master, and the old man should respect her wishes more or less, and even try to please her if possible.

However, she never expected that after she said this, she would receive the old man's mocking words:

"What's the point of cleaning up these rags and tattered things? Once you enter the mansion, even if the skin you are wearing looks new, it will be stripped off and thrown away! The Cheng Mansion is not a place where just any cat or dog can enter. Grandpa and the young master both like cleanliness, and you can't bring in dirty things from outside."

As the old man spoke, he looked Su Lai'er up and down, causing Su Lai'er's face to turn red.

Even if he was stupid, she could see and hear that the old man was mocking her.

She thought that she was the concubine of the young master of the Cheng family after all. Although she had never met the young master of the Cheng family, he should have seen her.

He actually asked someone to come to his house right after the Lotus Festival. He must have fallen in love with her at first sight.

Thinking of this, Su Lai'er, who felt insulted, wanted to put on airs as a concubine and show off her power to the old man: "I am a concubine with a family. Do I have to listen to a servant like you?"

She thought the old man would be so angry that his face would turn red, but she never expected that the old man would not even bat an eyelid, but said to the red matchmaker next to him:

"Since you have troubled me to accompany me today, I will trouble you thoroughly. I will give you two taels of silver and take this unknown concubine Su into the carriage."

After saying that, the old man turned around and walked outside without even looking at Su Laier.

Although the red matchmaker is famous for her matchmaking, when faced with additional requests from wealthy families, she will agree to other requests in order to make money.

She was born strong and sturdy, so Su Laier was naturally no match for him when she made a move.

"Aunt Su, I'm sorry!"

The red matchmaker looked at Su Lai'er with a smile, reached out and took her under her armpit, took her out, and stuffed her into the carriage steadily and accurately.

During this period, whether it was Old Lady Su and Zhang Chuncao who were happily looking at the property in the main room, or Su Baogui and the others who were playing in the yard, they all treated Su Laier, who was being held hostage by the red matchmaker, as air.

Su Lai'er fell into the carriage, and before she could say another word, the carriage began to shake and move away.

"Second sister, is this how you marry a wife?" Song Yuedan asked puzzledly.

Today at the Lotus Festival, Old Lady Song bought back several cantaloupes. Song Rending and Song Yuedan squatted at the doorstep to eat the cantaloupes and see what fun the Su family next door could come up with.

As a result, this is what I saw.

Song Yuedan had seen the famous matchmaker before. She had come to the Song family before on behalf of some wealthy families in the town, so Song Yuedan knew that she was a matchmaker.

Song Yuedan had never seen a wedding before, and when she saw this scene, she thought that getting married was so rude!

"No." Song Rendong shook his head while chewing a cantaloupe. "There's no bright red dress, no bright red veil, no firecrackers, and no band. This is not a wedding!"

[However, at this rate, when the time comes for the whole family to flee, how many people will be left in the Su family? ]
