Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 157: Are you trying to kidnap the bride?

The little girl covered her face and sobbed. She was crying about her miserable fate. In order to let her family survive, she wanted to ask someone to sell her so that her family could have a chance to make a living. But when she saw the lame man with his big yellow teeth bared, she wanted to vomit and she just didn't have the courage to live with him.

"Oh... a poor guy got it?" As he was speaking, an old lady with a pointed chin and monkey face came out of the door. She was wearing a bright red flowered cotton jacket, crotch-less pants, and a pair of small feet. She walked wobbly like a compass.

She stood on the steps, her hands folded, looking at the girl with disdain.

"If my son hadn't chosen you, do you think you could enter our Wang family? This is only now. If it were in the past, you would have already..."

She seemed to have let something slip, so she quickly braked and didn't say anything.

The old lady nodded repeatedly: "Of course not. I'll tell you, Sun Xiaonian, so just be content."

Qin Dabao finally understood. It turned out that the girl was from the countryside and there was a food shortage everywhere. She couldn't get enough to eat. For the sake of her family, she wanted to sell herself. But when she went to the blind date house, she found the man so disgusting that she regretted it. That's all.

When he saw the little girl covering her face and shivering all over with cold, he couldn't help feeling sad. He quickly took off his coat and wrapped the little girl up.

The little girl suddenly felt very warm. She looked up at Qin Dabao, then became sad again and cried even louder.

The old lady with bound feet slumped down her face: "Hey... who is this? Don't you know that it's not right for men and women to touch each other? Why are you acting so high and mighty here?"

Wang Quanfu yelled: "You, well, let go of my wife!"

The old woman who introduced the girl was also anxious. If the marriage went through, the Wang family promised her two yuan. She came forward and grabbed the girl: "I swear, you have to agree to this marriage today, whether you agree or not."

Could Qin Dabao still indulge her? He slapped her with a big blow. It was only because she was a woman that he used a little strength, but it still made her fall over.

Qin Dabao looked at them with contempt: "Are you trying to kidnap the bride? Do you think this is still the old society? No one cares about you, right? You shameless bastards, you will all be paraded through the streets and sent to study classes!"

As soon as these words came out, the three people immediately wilted. The old lady with bound feet pulled Wang Quanfu and disappeared into the door at the speed of light.

Qin Dabao touched his chin, looked at the house number carefully, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The introducer, lying on the ground, crawled away, leaving behind only one sentence: "Sun Xiaonian, you and your family will starve to death."

The little girl looked at the three people with her mouth open, then turned back to look at Qin Dabao.

Qin Dabao looked at the girl's little face, and the tears on her eyelashes quickly condensed into frost. He quickly took out his handkerchief to wipe the girl's tears.

He had been single for two lifetimes and had completely forgotten the strict rules for men and women in this era.

The little girl's face turned red. She grabbed the handkerchief to wipe her tears, and couldn't help but secretly glance at Qin Dabao.

Qin Dabao scratched his head. Standing here wasn't a big deal! He looked forward and out of the alley. He had been to this street before. There was a state-owned restaurant at the corner of the street.

He tugged at the sleeve of his coat, motioning the little girl to follow him. The little girl lowered her head, wrapped in her coat, and said nothing or nodded.

Qin Dabao picked up the bicycle and pushed it forward. The girl followed behind with her head down and her face red.

Arriving at the hotel entrance, Qin Dabao got into the car. He had completely forgotten about going to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The little girl timidly pulled Qin Dabao's clothes. She had never been to a restaurant before, let alone thought of coming here with a strange man.

Qin Dabao pulled her into the restaurant.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, a wave of hot air hit me in the face, mixed with the smell of buns and fried dishes. It was the most beautiful smell in the world.

There is not a single customer in the restaurant. Few people have the spare money to eat in a restaurant these days.

The little girl's stomach began to growl. She had only drunk two bowls of water from last night until now. How could she resist this temptation?

Qin Dabao pressed her to sit on the stool and turned to go buy food, but the little girl held on to the corner of his clothes tightly and kept shaking her head.

She had never been to such a place before, and she had no money to come. She was filled with fear and did not dare to let Qin Dabao leave.

Up to now, the two of them have not said a word to each other, but the little girl has already regarded the big brother in front of her as her support.

Qin Dabao squatted down and said softly: "I'm going to buy some food, don't be afraid."

The little girl's face flushed and she nodded gently.

Qin Dabao rubbed her head and turned to go to the cashier to issue the invoice.

The little girl glanced at Dabao and secretly said in her heart, the food here smells so good...

This restaurant specializes in steamed buns, soup dumplings, and those stuffed with mutton and green onions. You can tell they are delicious just by smelling them.

Qin Dabao ordered three baskets of steamed buns, one with red lantern shredded pork and one with braised pork strips, spending a total of three yuan and ten cents, eight ounces of meat coupons, and half a pound of grain coupons.

The buns were ready, and Qin Dabao brought them back.

He took two small plates, added some garlic sauce, took two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick cage, and placed them in front of the two of them.

The little girl was wearing a coat and didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She just kept looking at the buns and swallowing her saliva.

Qin Yi picked up a soup dumpling, placed it on his plate, and took a small bite. The hot steam from the soup dumpling suddenly came out.

If this is your first time eating soup dumplings, you will definitely get burned if no one reminds you. The filling of the soup dumplings is mixed and then frozen before being wrapped. Once they are steamed, the soup comes out, which is very hot and you cannot eat it without blowing on it.

"Eat it, but be careful. Blow on it before you eat it, or you'll burn your mouth."

The little girl timidly picked one up, and imitating Qin Dabao, she took a small bite and blew air into it. After it cooled down a little, she began to eat it voraciously.

Qin Dabao poked holes in all the buns to let the steam out, so that the little girl wouldn't get burned when eating.

The little girl was very hungry. She ate two and a half out of three baskets of steamed buns, and more than half a plate of red light shredded pork and braised pork strips. After eating, she burped twice and felt that this was the most delicious and filling meal she had ever had since she was born.

Qin Dabao had already handed over the cooled egg soup, and the little girl didn't care whether it was embarrassing or not. She had already eaten it, so a bowl of soup didn't matter to her.

After dinner, the two chatted, and Qin Dabao learned that the girl's name was Sun Xiaonian, she was fourteen years old this year, born on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, and her home was also near the Summer Palace, in a village close to Wanger Mountain called Xiong Xiazigou, not far from Qinjiagou.

There are six people in his family. His father is Sun Youfu and his mother is Wang Guifang. She is the eldest and has two younger sisters and a younger brother.

The eldest sister, Sun Runyue, is twelve years old, the younger brother, Sun Xiaoshu, is ten years old, and the youngest sister, Sun Xiaohan, is seven years old. All of them were named after the solar terms.

Her family had been living well, and Sun Xiaonian had just graduated from junior high school. But just two months ago, when her father was returning home at night, two masked men suddenly appeared, stole the money from his pocket, and broke his leg.

Fortunately, someone came across her and sent her father back home. He then went to the police station, but the police station said that such cases were usually unsolved because there were too few clues.

The family tried to raise money to treat her father's leg, but after all this effort, they had lost all their savings and owed others a lot of money.

The family was now penniless and had been out of food for two days. Sun Xiaonian saw that his family was almost starving to death, so he gritted his teeth and secretly thought of selling himself to give his family a chance to survive.

As a result, when I went on a blind date, it turned out to be Wang Quanfu, who was not only old, but also lame and had buck teeth. He was really not a good person.

Sun Xiaonian couldn't stand it any longer, so he ran out and bumped into Qin Dabao.

Sun Xiaonian sobbed softly and told his story, which made him feel much better.
