Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Today is the first day that the heroine from the original book has traveled through time. It has just been a hundred days since the death of the heroine's father, Lin Erniu. Her mother is too ill to get up, but her uncle has a bad idea and wants to sell the heroine out.

He said that it was because he had spent a lot of money on Lin Erniu's medical treatment, and now the heroine's mother was sick again, and it would cost a lot of money. Selling the heroine to a wealthy family in the provincial capital as a maid would not only solve the urgent problem, but also the heroine would have to receive a monthly salary to help the family.

But in fact, the master of that family was a lustful and tyrannical person. All the maids and old women in the house were raped by him. Moreover, every now and then, a load covered with white cloth would be carried out, and then a new batch would be bought.

Everyone in the provincial capital knew his name, and even the poorest families would not sell their daughters to him. Therefore, his family could only ask a matchmaker to come to the countryside to buy a daughter.

On top of the ten taels of silver for selling her body, the matchmaker gave Lin Daniu an additional two taels of silver as a bribe, so he couldn't wait to sell his niece on the first day of his brother's hundredth day of death.

In the original plot, it was the head of the village who stepped forward and lent eighty taels of silver to Lin Xiaomiao's family in order to get her indenture back. Eighty taels was almost half of the wealth of the head of the village. Although the heroine later made money and repaid the principal and interest, and even gave twenty taels more, the head of the village was depressed for several years because of this huge expense.

This was also the main reason why the headman's family broke off the engagement with the Du family after Du Yan's death. After all, if they hadn't spent such a large sum of money, their family could have fully supported Du Xingzhi to pass the provincial examination. Therefore, whether for the purpose of not lowering their family's living standards in the next few years or for the purpose of winning over the second male lead, Lin Xi had to come and resolve this farce.

When Lin Xi arrived, the area near Lin Daniu's house was already crowded with people watching the fun. With the advantage of her petite figure, she squeezed through the crowd, slowly walked to her second brother, and patted him on the shoulder.

Lin Jun turned around and saw that it was his sister. He glared at her and lowered his voice to her ear, "Why are you here? Go back quickly. It's crowded here and there's still a fight going on inside. Don't let anyone get hurt."

"Don't I have my second brother? He is so powerful, I believe he can protect me." Lin Xi smiled at Lin Jun and spoke sincerely.

After hearing this, Lin Jun silently straightened his chest and said, "Forget it, there's nothing I can do to you." After that, he pulled his sister to his side, secretly pushed everyone around them out, and separated a small safe space for his sister.

Lin Xi then turned her eyes to the people struggling in the yard. In the middle of the yard, the female protagonist Lin Xiaomiao was lying unconscious on the ground with her hands and feet tied. A thin woman was crawling on the ground, tightly pulling the hem of a woman in gorgeous clothes, and her voice was sad and mournful, "No one can take my daughter away today!"

The woman couldn't break free, nor did she dare kick away the woman in front of her who looked like she would die at any moment. She could only bite the bullet and say, "My lady, business is based on mutual consent. You took the money, and I'm just following the rules to pick you up. There's no point in you arguing with me." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Daniu who was standing beside her.

Seeing this, Lin Daniu quickly said, "Xiao Miao's mother, please let go. The family spent a lot of money on Er Niu's medical treatment, but he died after the money was spent. Now you are sick again, which is another large sum of money. The family I found for Xiao Miao is a wealthy family in the province. They gave a full seven taels of silver, and Xiao Miao used to be able to bring money home every month. This is a blessing that many people cannot ask for."

The woman in gorgeous clothes couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard what he said. This man was really evil. He greedily took three taels out of the total ten taels of silver. Adding the two taels of bribe she secretly gave him, he made a net profit of five taels by selling someone else's girl. However, the silver was limited and she only wanted the girl, so she didn't expose Lin Daniu's lies.

"Why don't you give such a great blessing to your Xiaohua? The child's father just passed away and you're bullying us, an orphan and a widow. You're going to force us to death." Zheng, who was lying on the ground, raised her sallow face and stared at Lin Daniu viciously.

"How big is my little flower? What can others do with it if they buy it back?" Lin Daniu's face changed, and then he said, "Besides, Guowazi is the only descendant of my second brother. You have to make plans for him. Save the money from selling the seedlings and find him a good marriage in the future. Have a few big fat boys, so that my second brother's incense can be passed on."

"Bah! You are such a black-hearted person. You were never so kind when the child's father was still alive, but now that he's dead you're pretending to be so. Today, no matter what you say, you can't sell my child."

After saying that, Zheng's skinny knuckles clenched the hem of the woman in gorgeous clothes even tighter. The woman blushed, held up the waist of her skirt with all her strength, and glared at Lin Daniu with embarrassment and anger.

Seeing this, Lin Daniu first gave her a flattering smile, and then motioned to his wife to pull the woman's fingers on the ground: "The eldest brother is like a father. Erniu is gone now. I have the final say in his family affairs. You have already received the money and signed the deed. Xiao Miao is now someone's family member. No matter how much you try to make trouble, it will be useless."

Lin Daniu's wife, Li, was plump and dark-skinned, and the strength in her hands was beyond the reach of a person who had been ill for a long time. She hurried forward, pried open Zheng's fingers one by one, and pulled them off the matchmaker's skirt. Zheng looked at the skirt that was about to slip out of her hands, as if she saw her daughter who was about to leave her, and she couldn't help crying out. The sound was so shrill and mournful that the people around her couldn't bear it.

The head of the village came over and learned about the situation from the onlookers. He frowned at the chaos in the yard, and his face darkened when he saw Li trying to pull Zheng. He shouted, "Daniu, what are you doing! Your sister-in-law is still sick, and you two don't care about her, but now you want to kill her?"

Then he turned his head and looked at the people watching the excitement, and pointed at a woman with a gentle face: "Jiancai's family, help Erniu's wife up, and what happened to Xiaomiao? She is not an animal, who tied her up! Untie her quickly and see if she is okay."

Several women walked out of the crowd who had just shown expressions of pity and rushed forward in a hurry. Jiancai's family and a young daughter-in-law helped Zheng up, moved a chair for her to sit on, and rubbed her chest to help her breathe smoothly. The others stepped forward to untie Lin Xiaomiao's rope, checked to see if there were any external injuries, and then felt relieved and began to pinch her philtrum.

The village head looked at the matchmaker standing aside and said in a bad tone, "Where are you from? Are you coming to my Linjia Village in broad daylight to snatch a child?"

Seeing this, the matchmaker shrank her neck, hid behind the two thugs she brought with her, and forced a smile, "You are the manager of this village, don't say such harsh words, I, Cao the matchmaker, am doing a legitimate human trafficking. This family in your village took my money and signed the contract, but they didn't let me take the child away. There is no such thing in the world."

When the village head heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he looked at Zheng, "Erniu's family, is what she said true? You took their money and signed the deed?"

Zheng struggled to get up, pointing her trembling finger at Lin Daniu, crying with tears streaming down her face, "Uncle Cheng, I was deceived by him. My child's father passed away, and I'm very sick. These days, my family can't make it. Two days ago, my eldest brother found me and gave me seven taels of silver, saying it was a loan to me. He also took out a piece of paper and said it was a promissory note and asked me to put my fingerprints on it. I just thought he was kind, but who knew it was actually a deed to sell my daughter! If I knew that the silver was Xiao Miao's body money, I would never accept it even if I died of illness!"
