Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it
Chapter 44: Their family wants me to arrange a ghost marriage for her son
Lin Chong was also itching to sell some fish. He only had half a bag of grains left at home. It would be great if he could sell the little fish.
He looked at Lin Dasheng and said, "Dasheng, let's try to see if there is anyone who likes this kind of tender land?"
Lin Dasheng quickly waved his hands and said, "How can I find a buyer? I... I don't have the ability to do that."
Lin Chong's mother said, "Everyone knows that your Sun Mei is a capable woman. If you can't find a buyer, she might be able to. Why don't you ask her and see?"
Lin Dasheng lowered his head with a guilty conscience: "No... isn't it good?"
Lin Chong's mother looked at him and said:
"Are you scared or not? Is she some precious thing?
Ever since she was born, you have been arguing every day. This is a disaster. You are also doing this for the Lin family.
What's more, if you get the money, your parents will be so happy.
The same goes for my Lin Chong. If it weren’t for such a money-losing thing, would things have turned out like this?
After the two girls are sold, won't Zhao Qiaoniang and Zheng Xiuxiu have to come back and live a peaceful life? "
Lin Chong and Lin Dasheng exchanged a glance, and Lin Dasheng quickly said, "I have to go back and discuss this matter. Besides, we made paper."
"Oh my! You're really something! You actually took this piece of paper seriously? If you really sold the child, what could they do to you?
"When you have money and food, she will go back with you obediently," said Lin Chong's mother.
Lin Dasheng went straight home. A group of people had already packed up their things. Old Mrs. Lin saw him slacking off and was unhappy: "Where the hell have you been? You weren't here when I needed you. Did you find out?"
Lin Dasheng smiled innocently and said:
“Mom, I asked clearly and she said she didn’t see it.
But I just went to Lin Chong's house and heard that the second daughter of Lin Lao San from our village was sold for 500 coins and two bags of grain!
"Wow! It was sold at such a high price? But his daughter is really beautiful." said Old Mrs. Lin.
Sun Mei said sarcastically, "It's only 500 coins. If I were to sell it, I might get only one or two taels of silver. I'd still lose money."
Old Lady Lin's eyes lit up and she asked, "Then can Lin Wanwan be sold for money?"
"Of course! I can find someone from the Sun family shop. Zhao Qiaoniang's children can all be sold for one or two taels of silver!"
I can still negotiate the price then, and maybe even give you another bag or two of grain," Sun Mei said calmly.
Lin Dasheng curled his lips and said, "Boys are not for sale, and no one can sell their boys..."
Sun Mei glanced at him calmly and said:
“It would be nice to sell that disaster star, but now we have to wait until we get to town.
When we get to the next town, I'll see the Sun family's shop and tell them."
Old Lady Lin looked at Sun Mei and said, "Oh my, it's still our eldest daughter-in-law who is capable. It's settled. Once they get up the mountain, we'll take action."
Sun Mei nodded quickly, Zhao Qiaoniang packed up her belongings, and then several people began to take turns pushing the wheelbarrow.
In fact, this wheelbarrow is not heavy, and it is just right for two people to push.
There were now three bags of grain on the wheelbarrow, some clothes, pots and pans, and a few knives.
They also had some food on their backs, and it was unsafe to put it all in the car.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the second daughter of Lin Laosan's family rushing out, kneeling in front of Lin Laosan and saying, "Dad, please save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Wuuwuwu..."
Lin Laosan frowned and asked, "Girl, why are you back?"
Lin Laosan's wife was also stunned: "Didn't I send you away to live a good life? Why did you come back?"
"Wow... their family wants me to arrange a ghost marriage for their son. I don't want to die. I secretly heard the night watchman say it last night." The second daughter was smart and was scared out of her wits.
The ancients believed that unmarried people would worry about their marriage after death. If they were not married, their ghosts would come out and haunt the family, causing unrest in the family.
At the same time, people also believe that it is too pitiful for the deceased to have no one to accompany him in the underworld, and arranging a ghost marriage for him can give them companionship in the other world.
Lin Wanwan snorted twice. This ancient time was truly horrible. Women had no status. Ugh! Even the lower class had no status.
I saw that the servants of that family had already chased after me, led by an old man who looked like a steward.
He looked coldly at Lin Laosan's second daughter and said, "You think you can survive by escaping back? You are really dreaming. Your parents sold you for 500 coins and two bags of grain."
Lin Lao San looked at the man and said:
“Butler Zhou, we are indeed selling our daughter.
But you promised me that my daughter would have good food and drink once she married into the Zhou family. Why are you dragging her into a ghost marriage now?"
Housekeeper Zhou looked at him and said, "What do you mean by ghost marriage? My Zhou family doesn't do such things. This little girl doesn't want to be a concubine and is talking nonsense."
The second daughter knelt down on the ground, hugged Lin Lao San's legs and said:
"Dad, I heard it clearly, please don't sell me out, okay?
I eat little, but I can do a lot of work. I...I'll go to the mountains and dig up wild vegetables. I'll dig up lots and lots of wild vegetables, so many that I can't even finish eating them all, okay?"
Lin Laosan's wife coughed and said:
"Girl, don't blame your parents for being cruel. Your brother has found a wife and all he needs is a bag of food. Our family also needs food to survive.
You...just for the sake of your parents' kindness to you, why don't you go with the Zhou family?"
Lin Wanwan looked outside the frame and shook her head slightly. What cruel parents!
In fact, Lin Laosan and his wife knew it very well, but their family was in great need of food and a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line, so they had no choice but to sacrifice their daughter.
The second daughter cried heartbreakingly:
"Mom and Dad, if I go back I'll be dead!
Save me! I’m only fourteen! I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to…”
Butler Zhou said with a fake smile, "If you want to save her, it's easy. Just give her two taels of silver. Otherwise, return one tael of silver and add two bags of grain."
It doubled in value, and Lin Laosan's face turned dark: "Hurry...hurry up and take this unlucky thing away..."
Lin Laosan's wife said, "Girl, go live a good life. The Zhou family will not treat you unfairly. Don't believe everything you hear. Your good days are still ahead!"
“Hahaha…what kind of good life can I still live?
"Do I really have to be nailed to the coffin? I was born by you too. If you don't want to raise me, what's the point of giving birth to me?" Lin Xiaoxin felt chilled. She knew very well that her family had always favored boys over girls since she was a child.
But this time she realized that it was not about favoring boys over girls, but that he simply did not take her seriously.
She turned to look at the village chief and said, "Uncle Village Chief, please save me. You have always been the fairest. Please give me a chance to live. Wuuwuwu..."
