After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

Before she could think of a solution, Lin Chengfeng pulled her to the bed and motioned her to lie down.

Shen Yunwan gritted her teeth and lay down on her side facing Chunhua.

A wave of warmth came from behind me, and then the oil lamp went out.

Shen Yunwan lay stiffly on her side, and the person behind her didn't make a sound.

Her eyelids grew heavier until she could only breathe evenly.

The man behind her hugged her in his arms.

"Shh!" Lin Chengfeng made a gesture to silence his two daughters who had woken up.

Lin Chunhua and Lin Qiuhua looked at their mother who was sleeping soundly in their father's arms, and climbed out of bed quietly.

When you go out, close the door gently.

At this time, Shen Yunwan hugged the man with her arms, thinking he was her dinosaur doll.

The room was not soundproof, and Shen Yunwan was awakened by the noise outside.

"I'm so annoyed. Let me sleep a little longer." Shen Yunwan vented her dissatisfaction and hugged the man in her arms tighter.

Until a muffled groan was heard.

Shen Yunwan pinched the doll in her arms, it was a real person!

Memories flooded my brain.

She sat up instantly and looked at the man next to her. She had ripped open the front of his shirt, revealing his well-dressed upper body.

In an instant, her face turned red.

"Yun Wan?" Lin Chengfeng called out jokingly as he looked at the woman who buried her face in the quilt.

"Hehe...um, good morning."

Lin Chengfeng stopped teasing her, stood up and dressed, "I'm leaving home to go to private school today, so I'll have to trouble you at home."

Then he took out a string of copper coins from his sleeve and said, "Keep these."

Yesterday, he saw his wife, who had always been patient, actually contradicting his mother and siblings for the sake of the child, so he wanted to leave some money for her.

Now she probably won't hand it over to her mother.

The string was heavy, worth about one or two hundred coins. Shen Yunwan didn't refuse. She was penniless now and really needed the money.

"Can I go to town with you? I want to see if there's any way to earn some money."

With Lin Chengfeng's little private money, when will she and her daughter be able to eat meat?

Maybe I can find business opportunities in town.

"Then let's set off early. You can still take Brother Mao's ox cart back to the village in the afternoon." When the villagers go to town, they either walk or take the ox cart of Lin Mao's family.

Breakfast was a thin porridge mixed with wild vegetables. There was more vegetables than rice, but fortunately it filled my stomach.

"Boss, just spoil her. Why go to town? Why waste money?"

"Why is she looking for a job? What can a woman like her do? You know what kind of person she is. She just wants to be lazy!"

When Old Mrs. Lin heard that Shen Yunwan was going to town, she immediately frowned and scolded her.

"Mom, Yun Wan was just injured and can't do any heavy work."

"We have been married for so many years, and she has never made any requests to me. It's not a big deal for her to speak today. She will be back in the evening." Lin Chengfeng's tone was calm, but there was no doubt in his tone.

Old Mrs. Lin didn't say anything else. She would not give them any money anyway, not a penny.

She knew that the eldest brother had hidden some money. The private school teacher would give him gifts during festivals, but he had never handed it over.

However, we cannot leave them without a penny, otherwise the pressure will be too great and they may not be able to hand over the one or two taels of silver every month on time.

Besides, the second son's family, apart from working in the fields, was supported by the public, and the third son was even more so.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is the eldest brother who supports the whole family.

Before the young couple could leave, a young man came.

"Old Lin, I'm here to see the girl."

A well-dressed woman who looked to be in her forties was standing outside the Lin family's yard and shouting loudly.

"Who are you looking for?" Shen Yunwan felt that he was not a good person at first sight.

She has a face full of flesh and looks ferocious, not like an ordinary woman.

"Sister, I'm looking for Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin Jiang. They told me before that your family has two girls for sale. I searched for a long time before I found a good family."

"Today, I came to pick someone up. They took a deposit of two taels of silver from me."

The woman held up the document and gestured to Shen Yunwan.

"Selling a girl? Are you sure it's this family?" Shen Yunwan was furious.

"It's this family, there's no mistake." The woman looked into the yard. "A month ago, Mrs. Lin and her daughter-in-law came to me and said they had two little girls, one eight years old and the other six. I took care of them."

"Although she hasn't fully grown yet, her facial features are already beautiful. She will definitely be amazing when she grows up."

"Where are you going to buy them?" Shen Yunwan gritted her teeth in hatred, trying hard to suppress the impulse in her heart.

"It depends on the luck of the two girls. It's hard to tell now since they are so young. But when they are a few years older, if they are outstanding in appearance, they can be raised to be concubines or even the top prostitutes in a brothel." The woman was extremely arrogant, and she complained in her heart that Shen Yunwan was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

"Mrs. Lin! I'm here to pick up the two girls!"

Because Lin Chengfeng came back yesterday, Grandpa Lin and Lin Chenghai had not yet gone out this morning.

Hearing the sound, everyone left the yard.

The sisters Lin Chunhua and Lin Qiuhua were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

This woman had been to the house before.

Their grandmother and aunt said they would sell them to wealthy families as maids.

My mother was also present at the time. She said nothing and tacitly agreed to what my grandmother and aunt did.

She only knew that being a maid was a bad thing. Shuiqin from the village was sold to a wealthy family by her stepmother, but died in less than a year and was thrown into a mass grave after her death.

Shen Yunwan looked at her two daughters who were hugging her thighs tightly, feeling sad and angry.

She's not even dead yet, and these two old women are going to sell her daughter!

The woman saw two maids in the yard and wanted to catch them.

"Pa!" The outstretched hand was hit hard by Shen Yunwan, and it turned red instantly.

"You actually hit someone!" The woman stared at her red hands in disbelief and complained to Old Lady Lin beside her, "Mrs. Lin, you have already taken three taels of silver as a deposit from me. The remaining ten taels are for you." The woman stuffed the ten taels of silver into Old Lady Lin's hands.

"Even if the police come today, I will take him away! I gave him money!"

Shen Yunwan picked up the machete in the yard and stopped her. "Whoever dares to steal my daughter today, I will chop off his legs!"

Then she swept her eyes sharply over everyone in the yard.

They were intimidated by Shen Yunwan's desperate aura and dared not even breathe.

"Go back to the house!"

"Mom, I won't go back." Lin Chunhua picked up a wooden stick and stood beside Shen Yunwan.

Looking at the little girl who was just as tall as her waist, who was begging timidly just now, now he had to protect her.

"You! You guys!" The others were afraid of being chopped, so no one dared to step forward.

"I don't know who you are. I'm the mother of two girls. I've never accepted money from you, nor have I ever thought of selling my daughter. Whoever accepted your money, you can ask for her back!"

"Mrs. Lin, you took my money but didn't give me anyone. I'm not afraid even if you report me to the authorities!"

Everyone in the yard looked at Old Lady Lin.
