Dressed as a little farmer's lucky treasure, God sends blessings and asks for forgiveness

It wasn't until now that I realized how stupid I was. Zhao Shiying pouted secretly, but all she spit out were saliva bubbles.

Wang Ronghua saw it and had no choice but to wipe it off.

With housekeeper Zhang's words, the Zhao family did not dare to give up halfway. As expected, after lunch, they sold three acres of good land, five acres of second-rate good land, and six acres of dry land, earning 47 taels of silver.

The Zhao family currently only has one mu of inferior farmland and three mu of dry land. The land that the Zhao family has accumulated over the years is gone today.

Zhao Dagen turned his head away with tears in his eyes, his heart had already become a turbulent river.

Zhao Baishi was so distressed that she burst into tears, and her hands and feet were twitching violently.

"Why sell the child when there are so many fields at home? You could have made a living by selling one or two acres of land. See, this is retribution. Now the fields are gone, and Mr. Qian got them for nothing." Some villagers who had no money to buy fields stood by and said a few words from their hearts.

"That's right, it's a sin."

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. This is all retribution."

.....

Wang Ronghua felt bitter as she listened to the villagers' discussions.

They were the ones who suffered the most. The daughter who was sold was hers, and they were the ones who were left with nothing. Even after selling so many fields in the old house, they did not get a penny from the second branch. She still had to worry about how their family would live in the future.

Manager Zhang hurried back because he discovered something unusual about the indenture contract. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qian didn't know about it either. But this made it easier for them to handle the situation.

Anyway, the little girl's fortune is not good, so they will definitely not want her. So they can use Zhao Guoguang as a substitute and let her work as a farmhand on the farm. She will work for free and only be provided with the worst food and accommodation, and she will be a servant in the mansion for the rest of her life.

After Mr. Qian muttered something to Manager Zhang, Manager Zhang came to Guxian Village in a hurry in the afternoon.

As soon as I entered Lao Zhao's house, I found that there were already people in the yard.

"Oh, they're all here. Have you collected all the money?" Butler Zhang walked in with a smile.

"It's a coincidence that Butler Zhang came. The money has just been collected. Let Zhao Guoguang do work to pay off the remaining fifty taels of silver." Village Chief Zhao said that this was also the result of discussion among the Zhao family.

Although Wang Ronghua and Zhao Guocheng did not participate at all and only served as listeners, they were feeling empty in their hearts.

A good family broke up just like that. Although we were poor in the past, we were never as desperate as we are now.

"After selling so much land, the money you get back must be more than fifty taels. Just pay sixty taels directly, and let Zhao Guoguang use the remaining forty taels to do work as payment." Manager Zhang said.

"Manager Zhang, please be kind. Our family is also in trouble. We have students who need to take exams. We can't afford it without money." Zhao Dagen immediately stepped forward to beg, so as not to affect the third brother's career.

Zhao Guochang also became nervous.

All the money added up was only sixty-four taels and two cents. If the sixty taels were taken away, he would definitely not have enough money to take the exam.

"Oh? There is a scholar in your family?" Manager Zhang was surprised. A scholar who was still selling children showed that he was not afraid of trouble.

"Hello, Manager Zhang. I am not Zhao Guochang, and I didn't know that my elder brother could do such a foolish thing. If I were at home, I would definitely stop him. I hope that Manager Zhang would be so kind as to do as I said before. I will be very grateful." Zhao Guochang spoke tactfully. He had not had the chance to speak before, and the key point was that he didn't want to say anything.

I don't know why my elder brother and mother could come up with such a stupid idea.

Now that his career is at stake, naturally he has to strive for something.

"Since the scholar has said so, we are not heartless people. We will give him fifty taels, and let Zhao Guoguang work to pay off the remaining fifty taels. Also, the indenture signed at the beginning is Zhao Guoguang's own, not that little girl's. So, from now on, Zhao Guoguang will be a servant of our Yuanwai Mansion. His life and death will be decided by our Yuanwai Master." After saying this, Butler Zhang threw out a indenture and held it in his hand for Zhao Guochang to see.

It would be good to have a scholar who can read and understand clearly what is written in the contract.

"This...how is it possible?" Zhao Guochang quickly glanced over the words on the paper and was very shocked. His elder brother sold himself to be a servant in a wealthy family?

When these words were spoken, the people in the Zhao family and the village chief were extremely shocked.

"That's not right. It's not the little money-losing thing we sold. How come it's our eldest son?" Zhao Bai wailed.

"I won't say any more nonsense. Anyway, it's written in black and white. Bring the money. We have already drafted a contract. We just need to sign it." After saying this, Manager Zhang took the indenture and took out another contract.

After reading it, Zhao Guochang read it to everyone, then nodded to Zhao Dagen.

At this point, there was no way to remedy the situation, and Zhao Guoguang was the only one who had to suffer the consequences.

After Zhao Dagen signed the agreement with great reluctance, Zhao Guoguang was taken away by Manager Zhang's men.

"You bastard, it's you, the jinx, who caused my eldest son to be captured and become a servant. I'm going to beat you to death, you little loser." Zhao Bai said like a madman as she rushed towards Zhao Shiying in Wang Ronghua's arms, wanting to beat Zhao Shiying to death.

Wang Ronghua dodged quickly, and Zhao Guocheng reacted and rushed forward to stand in front of Wang Ronghua, and was slapped by Zhao Bai.

"Okay, Zhao Bai, stop making trouble. The eldest son is your son, and isn't the second son your son? This is all Guoguang's own fault. Why implicate others? The matter has been resolved, so let's all go our separate ways." After saying this, Village Chief Zhao winked at Zhao Guocheng, and then the group went out.

Zhao Chen felt like the sky was falling. Her husband was captured. What status would she have in the family in the future? She would definitely work hard and eat little. She might as well kill herself. However, looking at the four children in front of her, she did not dare to die.

Zhao Chen had already cried like a tearful person and huddled together with her children.

The Zhao family is in a gloomy mood!

***

In the blink of an eye it is Qingming Festival.

The Zhao family prepared incense, candles and a fruit plate to burn incense.

Wang Ronghua and Zhao Guocheng also came.

The children are left at home.

No matter how big the conflicts are at home, we must worship our ancestors in a peaceful manner.

Their village only has one old ancestral hall, which is rarely used except when there are criminals being imprisoned or when there is a need to open the ancestral hall.

Of course, the ancestral hall must be opened for sacrifices.

First worship at the ancestral hall, and then go to the cemetery to worship.

At the end of the Chen hour, all the worshipping at the ancestral hall was finally completed. The Zhao family was the last group of people to worship, and they were now packing up to go to the cemetery on the mountain.

"Oh no, oh no, the Zhao family's ancestral tomb has been dug up." Suddenly, a cry of fear was heard in the village.

"What? The ancestral tomb was dug up?" After hearing this, the fruit in Zhao Bai's hand fell to the ground, swirled around and came to Zhao Guochang's feet.

Zhao Dagen, Zhao Guochang and Zhao Guocheng ran out instantly.

Several people ran towards the mountain where their ancestral grave was.

Zhao Bai, Wang Ronghua and Zhao Chen quickly picked up their things and followed.

It is a big deal if your ancestral graves are dug up.

This incident immediately alarmed the village chief.

The whole village knew about it instantly, and they all ran to the Zhao family’s ancestral grave.

Guxian Village, people from the same village, with the same surname, their ancestors are all related. If the ancestral graves are dug up, it will disturb the ancestors of all of them.
