Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

No matter how tired the four of them were, they didn't dare to close their eyes. They stayed by Su Wenxing's bed, checking from time to time to see if the little girl had a fever or anything.

Seeing that the little girl was still asleep, several people sat on the soft step or around the octagonal table to rest.

When it was getting dark, the waiter brought over another batch of candles.

Su Qiuyi looked at it and saw a red candle as thick as a thumb. Although it was not bright enough, it was much better than an oil lamp.

"Alas... this girl has suffered so much injustice and hardship. When I think about it now, I want to tear Xu Hui into pieces! I am so angry that my teeth are itching."

The Xu family was already living in difficult times, and they were almost broken up. Anyone would hate them, and Su Xiaofang gritted her teeth when she thought about it now.

She really couldn't believe that there could be such a cruel and merciless mother in the world. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, but Xu Hui actually sold her own daughter for the sake of her parents' home.

Su Qiuyi and her sister did not say anything. As sons, in ancient times, they most flattered the saying that there are no bad parents in the world. If their aunt said so, they would be unfilial if they said it again.

"Third brother, you were right to divorce her! As long as she's in this family, the three children will have a hard time!"

Su Xiaofang hated it very much, "Rather than letting her harm the children, it would be better to divorce her as soon as possible!"

A person was talking there with gritted teeth. Su Laosan lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking. Suddenly, the room became a little awkward.

Su Qiuyi thought for a moment and said, "Today, Mr. Li returned my sister's indenture to me! He also gave me one hundred taels as a thank you gift. Now that I think about it, I always feel that I shouldn't have taken this money. The Li family also protected my sister all the way here. It is a great favor that they can easily return our indenture to us and let my sister escape from slavery! Good deeds should be repaid with good deeds..."

She thought about it for a long time, but still felt that it was inappropriate. Anyway, she was not short of money now, and it always felt unkind to accept the money from the Li family.

"Yes, Mr. Li's family has suffered a great disaster. Only the father and daughter are left in the mansion. Most of their money has been robbed, which is the saddest time. Yiyi, why don't you return the money tomorrow! Although we are poor, we can't do anything against our conscience!"

Su Laosan agreed with his eldest daughter's words. Even though he was penniless and living in poverty, he had no intention of pocketing this windfall.

"You are right. The Li family is indeed unlucky. They lost both their money and their people. We don't even know how badly the father and daughter are injured!"

My aunt, who looked angry, also joined the discussion.

As they were talking, the little person on the bed woke up slowly. They only realized it when they heard her hoarse voice speaking angrily.

"Dad, sister... do you know how I got seriously injured? It was that poor Miss Li you mentioned who pulled me to block the bandit's sword. If it wasn't for my body blocking that sword, Miss Li might have died on the spot!"

The originally lively and cheerful little face now looked frighteningly calm and composed.

Just a few days of living as a servant had changed her so much.

Several people hurried forward, and Su Qiuyi reached out and touched the little sister's forehead. Fortunately, there was no sign of fever, which gave her a further understanding of Wen Xiner's medicine.

"Amitabha Amitabha, she finally woke up! Fortunately, she is here with you..." Su Xiaofang was so happy to see her niece wake up that she almost said something without restraint. After she came to her senses, she quickly covered her mouth.

"She doesn't have a fever. Just wait. I'll go get the porridge and medicine for my little sister to eat!"

Su Qiuyi gave up her seat and ran out. After a while, she brought back the warm porridge and the medicine prescribed by Shan De Tang.

He fed his little sister the food mouthful by mouthful himself, and only breathed a sigh of relief after giving her the medicine.

Watching her little sister drinking down the bitter medicine mouthful by mouthful, she was at a loss as to what to do. Where could she find something sweet to sweeten her mouth?

I had no choice but to feed him some more water. "Drink two more sips of water. This medicine is too bitter!"

As soon as Su Qiuyi finished speaking, the people who had been drinking porridge and taking medicine quietly began to show some expression in their eyes.

She looked at everyone in the room with weak eyes, and then said softly, "With family around, Xingxing doesn't feel bitter anymore..."

"Good boy...you have suffered..." Su Xiaofang took the lead in wiping tears.

Su Qiuyi remembered what her younger sister said when she just woke up, so she tucked the quilt in for her and asked, "Did Miss Li use you to block the sword?"

When his sister asked, Su Wenxing couldn't hold back any more and told her all the grievances he had suffered.

It turned out that she didn't have to suffer such a serious injury. When the bandits were robbing, she was smart enough to hide under the carriage and the bandits didn't find her.

But after Miss Li was dragged down from the car by the bandits, she was in a difficult situation. Miss Li refused to obey and watched the bandit's sword falling on her. The old woman next to Miss Li was quick to pull Su Wenxing under the car and push him over, blocking two-thirds of Miss Li's sword. Just like that, she almost died.

After the bandits left, the old woman took off her clothes and bandaged Miss Li's wounds.

The pain of having his flesh torn apart makes Su Wenxing tremble even now when he thinks about it.

Before she passed out, she heard Miss Li complaining that she got hurt because she blocked it too late.

She had only been sold there for a few days and was facing the prospect of fleeing famine, but every day the spoiled young lady set rules and made things difficult for her.

She kept saying that she was bought to be a bed warmer for a stupid young man of the Li family.

The stupid young man of the Li family was originally born to a concubine of Mr. Li. As the legitimate daughter of the Li family, she could not stand this concubine who gave birth to a stupid son. Miss Li made things difficult for the mother and son in every way.

Even the little maid who was bought to warm the silly young man's bed was implicated.

After hearing what his younger sister said, Su Qiuyi felt that the one hundred taels was too little, and that Miss Li should be thrown into the wild to feed the wolves.

When Su Wenxing saw his family, he cried and laughed at the same time. He didn't care about the pain of the wounds on his body. He told them all the grievances he had suffered in the Li family, and then he asked stiffly, "Where is that woman?"

A ten-year-old child understands everything, including hatred. The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred.

The little kid didn't even want to call his mother at this point.

Su Xiaofang stepped forward and told her, without hiding anything from her, that her father had divorced her mother, and then coaxed the little girl to sleep.

Su Wenxing was awakened by the pain in the middle of the night. The effect of the painkiller had worn off. With such a large wound and the flesh turned outward, how could it not hurt?

Su Qiuyi changed the medicine for her and felt relieved when he saw that the wound showed signs of scabbing. He gave her another dose of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.

After a while, the pain in the wound subsided and the little guy fell asleep again.

It was really tiring. The child was only ten years old, and he had to follow the carriage all the way, and he had to carry luggage in his hands. He didn't have enough food or water, so he was lucky to be able to see his family alive.

When it was dawn, Su Qi noticed that his younger sister's condition had stabilized, so he took out some hemostatic and disinfectant, and two pills each of anti-inflammatory and analgesic and left them for his aunt, asking her to give the medicine to his younger sister after she woke up. Then he left the inn.

The world is in turmoil now, and she dare not keep the banknotes with her. She has to exchange them for silver at a bank to feel at ease.
