Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

What's more, Xia Mei is less than 20 years old, and Niu Er is already her father. It's unacceptable for him to beat his wife.

Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Luo snorted at Li.

"Oh... I almost forgot, you are not Xia Mei's biological mother, but her stepmother!"

“Tsk tsk tsk…”

After saying that, he curled his lips and shook his head.

Su He silently gave Luo a big thumbs up in her heart. This aunt-in-law is so powerful. It's so heartbreaking.

Sure enough, when Li heard this, her face turned red with anger. When she saw the people around her looking at her with contempt, her face blushed even more.

Even the man under the eaves couldn't help but lower his head even lower, not daring to look at the eyes of the crowd.

"That's right. Xia Mei is so young. Even if you want to marry her off, you can't find someone older than her father."

"Don't you see, this is the stepmother? Xia Mei is responsible for all the housework. I heard that if she meets Li Chunhua, she will not be happy and won't even give her food."

"Could it be that Li Chunhua got some benefit and wants to sell Xia Mei out?"

The crowd was talking about all sorts of things. This was rare even in this remote and poor Yunli Village.

If there is someone who stutters in the family, who would be willing to sell their children? Even if they have to eat coarse food, being able to be together as a family is better than anything else.

But this Li Chunhua, when she first married into the Xia family, she still did some superficial work. But ever since she gave birth to a son, Xia Xiaobao, for the Xia family, she either beats or scolds Xia Mei. It would be strange if she could find a good marriage for her now.

Moreover, they were looking for him so urgently, but there was no news. They said that they found Niu Er from the neighboring village. It would be strange if there was no trick.

"Xia Mei is a well-behaved and hardworking girl. How could Li Chunhua be so cruel?"

The people around did not deliberately lower their voices, and the discussions reached Li's ears.

She looked up at Luo Shi, who had a stern look on her face, and then looked at the people around her who all had disdainful looks on their faces. She suddenly became angry and embarrassed.

"I am Xia Mei's mother. How can I harm her? Besides, I can decide her marriage."

Since ancient times, parents' orders and matchmaker's words have been followed. If she said she would marry Xia Mei, she had to marry.

Besides, Niu Er said he would give one or two taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and this damn girl is only that useful.

"Li Chunhua, nothing like this has ever happened in our Yunli Village. Xia Mei has been working for the family at a young age these years. Aren't you afraid of being criticized in the future?"

Someone in the crowd couldn't stand it and said something.

Although Yunli Village is remote and poor, there has never been any case of selling children. The customs are still very simple and no one does such unscrupulous things.

"Xia Mei is just a cheap girl, a money-loser. Niu Er gave her a betrothal gift of one or two taels of silver. All this money is for me!"

Xia Xiaobao, who was under the eaves, raised his chin and spoke to the people in the crowd with disdain.

The man next to him wanted to cover his mouth but it was too late.

As soon as these words were spoken, there were gasps in the Xia family yard, and everyone looked at each other with surprise.

When Xia Mei heard this, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

Su Mu looked at Xia Mei and didn't know how to comfort her. His hands in his sleeves had already been clenched into fists, as if he was trying his best to endure the pain.

"Li Chunhua, I was wondering why you suddenly proposed marriage to Xia Mei. It seems you are selling your daughter."

After hearing what Xia Xiaobao said, Mrs. Luo was immediately annoyed. Although Xia Mei had no relatives or friends with her, she had often visited the Su family before, and she still liked this little girl very much.

Hardworking and soft-spoken.

When Li heard this, she snorted coldly. Since everyone else knew about it, there was no need for her to hide it. What did it matter if she did it for a few taels of silver? Xia Mei was the daughter of the Xia family, so she could make the decision.

"As a mother, it is reasonable for me to find a husband for Xia Mei. But your son is already 20 years old and still can't find a wife. Are you planning to take advantage of my Xia Mei?"

Li looked coldly at Su Mu beside Xia Mei with a hint of disdain.

"Don't daydream. Your Su family is so poor that they don't even have a roof over their heads. If you can also come up with a tael of silver, I can consider marrying Xia Mei to your old Su family."

Li knew that the Su family was poor and would definitely not be able to afford the money, so she spoke out to irritate Luo and suppress her arrogance.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Mu's face flushed red, but he didn't know how to refute. He has always been tongue-tied, but this concerns Xia Mei's reputation, how could Li slander her casually?

"I'm talking nonsense. Do you dare to say that you don't have any other thoughts about Xia Mei?"

Ever since Su Mu protected Xia Mei just now, Li could tell that he must have special feelings for Xia Mei.

So what? If Xia Mei marries Niu Er, she will have one or two taels of silver. She will save this silver for her Xiaobao to marry in the future.

Su Mu was tall and strong, but he was taciturn and couldn't speak nice words. Most importantly, the Su family was extremely poor, and she didn't want to become relatives of them in the future.

"Ms. Li, what are you talking about here?"

When Luo heard Li say this about Su Mu, she immediately became unhappy. She rushed to Su Mu, put one hand on her waist and pointed at Li with the other, and said angrily:

"You want to sell your daughter, and you want to blame others."

The two were talking excitedly and there was a commotion in the crowd.

"Give me a moment, give me a moment."

Su He turned around and saw Old Man Su and several men from the Su family arriving.

Su Dawu saw Luo standing in front of Su Mu with an angry look on his face. He immediately ran forward and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

When he saw his family coming, Luo straightened his back instantly.

"This Li Cunhua wants to sell her daughter herself and even framed Amu!"

Before Su Dawu could say anything, Li on the opposite side immediately became angry and jumped up, pointing at Luo's nose and started to curse:

"Luo Qiuyue, don't think that you can become tough just because someone from the Su family has come. Your son is thinking about my daughter from the Xia family. If you have the ability, your old Su family can also take out one or two taels of silver, and Xia Mei will naturally be able to marry into your Su family."

Everyone in Yunli Village knew the situation of the old Su family. Not only did they owe a lot of foreign debts, they even sold the roof of their house.

Li knew this clearly, so she had no scruples and thought that the Su family could not afford it.

Su He whispered to Old Man Su and the others who had just arrived about the situation here. Now when they heard Li's words that looked down on the Su family, they were all very angry.

But the Su family has always been honest people, not to mention that the person opposite is a unreasonable and hungry woman. The men were angry but didn't know what to do.

Su He looked at Xia Mei, then at Su Mu, who had a gloomy face.

He walked up to Su Mu and asked in a low voice:

"Brother, do you want to marry Sister Xia Mei?"
