Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

"Aunt Xiang, you guys are back? How's Sister Mai Miao?"

Qing Ning was sharp-eyed and came to greet the three of them as soon as they entered the door.

Xue Mingxiang smiled softly and took her hand as they walked inside. "All we can do is offer some words of comfort. As for the knot in her heart, she has to resolve it herself."

"However, when we returned, she had calmed down a bit. I don't think she would do anything out of the ordinary."

"That's good. Do we need someone else to take charge of all the affairs in the town these days?"

This question is directed to Qingke.

"Let my two cousins ​​Xinyi take care of it for the next few days, and I'll let my third uncle help out a bit."

Seeing that her elder sister knew what was going on, Qing Ning said no more.

On the second day, the town's West Market was crowded with people, not much different from the temple fair.

"This is the first time I've seen someone punished with a cane for a crime. Who is this person from? What crime did he commit?"

"I don't know either. I only know that Luo Sheng announced it yesterday."

"Don't you know? I do know something."

A thin man said mysteriously.

"Tell us about it."

"Yes, come on."

The man cleared his throat and said, "As for me, I also listened to the mother-in-law of my cousin's grandson on my mother's side..."

"Oh, stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly."

The people around him really thought he was too long-winded and urged him to speak faster.

The man rolled his eyes with an unhappy look on his face, but said, "It is said that in the back street, Zhao Da's wife Wang took over her ex-husband's family and sold the girl from her ex-husband's family to another county as a daughter-in-law."

"Ah? Wang is a widow who remarried, and there is no one left in her ex-husband's family?"

"There are people, and there's a mother-in-law here."

"Didn't she discuss this with the mother-in-law?"

"No, not only did they not discuss it, they even accepted the betrothal gifts and went straight to the house to snatch her away."

"My goodness, this is bullying a lonely person! This is totally wrong. You should at least let me know."

"Who says it's not? And do you know the background of Wang's daughter?"

The man had a mysterious look on his face, and when everyone saw him asking this question, they all gathered around curiously.

"What's the story? Tell us about it."

"That girl is from Chenjia Village, and she's the manager of the Fushengji workshop."

"Oh, is there really such good fortune?"

"That's not right. This girl is so capable, why is Wang so eager to marry her off to someone else, and even secretly without informing her ex-husband's family?"

"Yeah yeah."

The man frowned and sighed, "You guys don't know this, I listen to my cousin's grandson's mother-in-law~~~~"

"Just skip this and tell us quickly."

Others really can't stand his slow writing.

"Alas, I heard that Zhao Da got addicted to gambling and lost all the family's money. He still owes a lot. The gambling house came to collect the debt, and Zhao Da even wanted to sell his wife and son. Wang cried and begged, and only then did the gambling house give him some time off."

"If she's not raising money, she's targeting her own daughter."

"From what you said, the family her daughter is engaged to must be quite wealthy, right?"

"Sister-in-law, you're right. It's not bad at all. That family gave them twenty taels as a betrothal gift."

"Oh my goodness, twenty taels! I've never seen so much money in my life!"

"Who says it's not? I haven't seen it either."

"Isn't this good? The in-laws are willing to spend money, so the girl won't suffer any loss. Why is it that they are robbing her and then beating her?"

Everyone was a little confused.

The man sneered, "What do you know? It would be fine if Wang Shi found a good family for her daughter, but that family's son is a fool!"

"God damn it! How could they be so cruel as to pair their own daughter with a fool."

"No, this is selling my daughter, isn't it?"

"I think it's good. It's only 20 taels. What's the harm in marrying a fool?"

"Oh, I was wondering who said that. It's you. Otherwise, you should just marry that fool."

"Hahaha~"

"Hahaha~"

The woman who spoke was filled with anger at being laughed at by everyone. She glared at them angrily and walked away.

"Everyone please be quiet!"

"哐~"

The gong sounded and the whole place was silent.

The yamen runners above said a lot, and the people present heard it clearly.

"Execution"

As the chief officer finished speaking, Wang was quickly brought up and escorted by four strong maids, unable to move at all.

Wang had a cloth stuffed in her mouth and was resisting with fear all over her body.

The maids were used to doing this, so they clamped him tightly and pressed him down on the bench.

Because Wang was a woman, her clothes were not taken off, which also gave her some face.

Mrs. Wu and her stupid son were also forced to stand beside Mrs. Wang to watch the execution.

As the boards fell one by one, it was a frightening sight.

Mrs. Wu's silly son reacted differently from the others and seemed even more excited.

"Fight, fight, fight, so cool!"

Wu tried to pull him back, but she couldn't.

Twenty strokes of the board were quick, and the executioners were also clever. They didn't use their full strength but they definitely made the person being punished feel extreme pain.

Wang had already fainted, and the executioner was kind enough to let the maids send her back when he saw that she had no family members present.

This incident has curbed the habit of selling girls for personal gain.

When the old women brought the person back, they only saw a pheasant boy who was only five or six years old.

"Kid, where are the rest of your family?"

Zhao Jiabao looked at the person in front of him, then looked at Wang, and was already crying out of fright.

When I heard other people asking him, he just shook his head.

The maids had no choice but to move Wang to the bed, give Zhao Jiabao a few words, and then leave.

When Zhao Jiabao saw Wang in this state, he could only cry and call for his mother and father.

Where was Zhao Da at that moment? He was in the gambling house, losing his mind to gambling, and the twenty taels were quickly gone.

When the last copper coin was taken away by the other party, he would come again.

"Zhao Da, do you have anything valuable?"

The casino guy asked with a smile.

Zhao Da searched his entire body, but found nothing.

"Go back. We won't play with you if you don't have any money."

The casino kicks people out.

Zhao Da was not willing to leave at all because he had not yet won back his money.

"No, no, no, please bear with me for a while. When I make a comeback, I will definitely come to support you more."

The people in the casino were quite happy to see him like this.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll take care of it. But I have to pay interest, right?"

"I understand, I understand. I understand. Calculate the interest, calculate the interest."

But the man lost nine times in a row, and even the casino was unwilling to give up in the end.

"Zhao Da, you already owe me over fifty taels of silver. How are you going to pay me back?"

The casino staff stared at him with a smile.

Zhao Da said, "Officer Lu, if you can give me a few more times, I will definitely be able to make back my money."

The casino staff shook their heads and laughed, "Do you think I'm doing charity? Everyone who comes here relies on She. Do we still want to do business?"
