Traveling through 1942 with space
Chapter 44 Selfishness
"You kid, why did you come back so late? Don't you know we have something to do today? We have been waiting for you for almost an hour." As soon as Hou Xiaoge returned to the camp, his aunt twisted his ear and criticized him.
"That's right, you need to be punished. You run around when you have important business to do." Second Aunt who was waiting nearby also scolded.
"What's the matter?" Hou Xiaoge was a little confused when asked.
"Hmph! Let's talk about it when we get back." The aunt Hou Cuihua carried Hou Xiaoge's head back to the camp.
"Aunt, please loosen your hand. You're almost twisting my ear off." Hou Xiaoge was also a little angry and grabbed his aunt's arm.
"You're a idiot. You're really rebellious. Even now you're arguing with your aunt." Hou Cuihua, whose arm was pulled, became annoyed and raised her hand to hit Hou Xiaoge.
"Cuihua, stop, what are you doing?" This scene was seen by the uncle-in-law, who quickly stopped her.
The aunt was distracted by the shout, and Hou Xiaoge took the opportunity to break free and run away.
Hou Xiaoge was indeed a little angry. This girl was too much. Her ears were twisted so hard that they were swollen.
Moreover, my second aunt was really too much. She even instigated my aunt to deal with Hou Xiaoge. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.
Hou Xiaoge walked all the way back to his own tricycle with a gloomy face. At this time, his younger brother and his cousin Xiao Heiniu were lying on the ground playing. When they saw Hou Xiaoge coming back, the two little guys quickly stood up and hugged Hou Xiaoge's thighs.
"Brother, why did you come back just now? Uncle and Erda have been looking for you everywhere!" Xiao Shuanniu said with blinking eyes.
After hearing what his brother said, Hou Xiaoge suddenly realized that this must be news about his sisters and the others.
"Heiwa, your uncle and I have been looking for you for a while. Now you are back. Come here quickly. We have something to talk about." At this time, the aunt, Erda and uncle came back together. Erda greeted Hou Xiaoge.
"Heiwa, your aunt was too anxious just now. Don't blame her. It's your sister and the others who have news." Seeing Hou Xiaoge lowering his head and not speaking, the uncle patted Hou Xiaoge on the head and said.
"Now that we have news, how do we redeem the person?" Hou Xiaoge asked his uncle, who looked very excited.
Children have no human rights, not to mention this illiterate society, Hou Xiaoge couldn't let her aunt bow down to her. So when Hou Xiaoge spoke, the previous angry incident was over.
"The human traffickers said that it costs two hundred dollars." After the uncle finished speaking, everyone looked at Hou Xiaoge eagerly.
"Two hundred dollars, didn't I borrow more than a hundred kilograms of millet from them last year?
A few dollars suddenly increased dozens of times, even loan sharks are not this outrageous, this human trafficker is trying to rob people!" Hou Xiaoge was also shocked and sat up straight.
"Ugh!"
"Yes! These damn masters are just trying to rob people, and we ordinary people have to beg them. It has been like this since ancient times. There is nothing we can do about it."
Seeing Hou Xiaoge's shocked expression after hearing the number, the uncle thought that Hou Xiaoge didn't have that much money and sighed.
"Heiwa, how much money do you have now? Is it enough to redeem Qiuju?" Second Aunt asked anxiously.
As soon as Second Aunt finished speaking, she was glared at by Uncle. Men are the ones who make the decisions on important matters in the family, and women are generally not allowed to interfere.
Hou Xiaoge also had a sullen face. This second aunt only thought about her daughter and didn't care who paid for it. Hou Xiaoge didn't continue to speak, but waited quietly. He wanted to see what his uncle and Erda would say.
"Mother of the child, please don't say anything. If you want to redeem someone, redeem Zhu Ni'er first.
Heiwa and his two brothers are now without a father or a mother, how can they live without a woman to take care of them?" Erda glanced at his wife and said in a muffled voice.
When Second Aunt heard her husband say this, her heart sank, tears suddenly flowed out, and she covered her face and turned away.
Seeing this, the younger sister-in-law beside her quickly turned around and tried to persuade the second aunt.
"Heiwa, don't blame your second aunt. Qiuju was sold, Erni and Xiaohui are gone, and your aunt is heartbroken.
If you don't have enough money, you can redeem your eldest sister first, and then we can redeem the other girls when you get the money, is that okay?" Uncle Hou Yangmin said softly to Hou Xiaoge, who had an expressionless face.
What happened during this period made Hou Yangmin treat his little nephew as an adult. He did not make a decision easily, but asked questions.
Hou Xiaoge thought that his uncle and Erda were decent people, and his uncle, an adult, looked at him with longing eyes, so his heart softened.
"Uncle, Erda, the money is enough to redeem my sister and the others. I was just calculating that if we spend all the money, we may not have enough money for the train tickets." Hou Xiaoge pretended to be worried.
"Heiwa, do you have enough money? Two hundred dollars?" Although the younger sister-in-law was comforting the second aunt, she was also listening to the men's conversation.
"Second sister-in-law, that's great. The girls can be redeemed." The younger sister-in-law looked excited and hugged the second aunt excitedly.
"Little sister, speak softly, in case others hear you." Hou Yangmin glanced at the little sister and said with a smile on his face.
"I'll shut up, I'll shut up now!" The young girl looked around carefully and quickly covered her mouth.
"Heiwa, let's redeem your sister first! If we don't have enough train tickets, our family will walk to Qin Province." The uncle looked at Hou Xiaoge with certainty.
"Okay, I'll get you the money."
Hou Xiaoge didn't waste any words. He stood up and walked to his own tricycle, rummaging through the backpack.
"Here, uncle, this is an envelope of silver dollars, a gold bracelet and two gold rings. These should be enough to redeem my sisters." Hou Xiaoge carefully put the things into Hou Yangmin's arms.
The silver dollar was wrapped in red paper, so the impact was not great, but the three pieces of golden jewelry shocked everyone.
"Wow, there's a gold bracelet. I've only seen it on the wrist of the wife of the landlord Niu in our village." Erda said in shock as he looked at the flattened gold bracelet.
There is no woman who doesn't love jewelry. The younger aunt took the gold bracelet from her uncle's hand and put it on her wrist with envy on her face. She only had one silver ring in her life, which she exchanged for food.
"Give it here, and you're still showing off. This is for redeeming a few girls, be careful not to get seen." The uncle looked at his two sons who were watching outside and said quickly.
"Heiwa, how good are your skills at hiding things? We are going to enter the city gate tomorrow, and Heigouzi might come to check us." The uncle who took back the jewelry asked Hou Xiaoge cautiously.
"No problem, I can perform magic. The thing is in my hand, they will never find it." Hou Xiaoge took the silver dollar, put it in his small backpack and let several people check it.
"Oh! This is so strange! I clearly saw you putting the things into the backpack, and such a big envelope of silver dollars disappeared in an instant!" Erda and his uncle-in-law searched Hou Xiaoge all over his body, even his crotch.
"hey-hey!"
"I learned this in my dream, so don't worry!" Hou Xiaoge smiled and used the backpack as a cover to take out the silver dollar.
"Okay, Heiwa, you come with us when we pick people up tomorrow. You keep these things first." Uncle Hou Yangmin returned several pieces of jewelry to Hou Xiaoge.
"middle!"
"Okay, everyone go to bed. We'll get up early tomorrow morning and go into the city." People are in high spirits when they are happy. The uncle suddenly became confident and said with a wave of his hand.
"Ha ha!"
For a moment, the family members could no longer suppress their joy and started laughing.
