The Tough Peasant Wife: Jin Niang - C2 Selling and selling women

During the year of East Dawn, the emperor was in a state of disgrace, internal and external troubles, and the citizens did not live in peace. Thirty-seven years of East Dawn, summer, continued drought, with almost no income, heavy taxes, and the common people unable to eat, began to sell and sell their women.

Spirit Mountain County was a small town in the southern part of the city. It was a mountainous county, and the largest mountain there was called Spirit Mountain. Therefore, this place was named Spirit Mountain County.

The Lin Family Village was a small village in Spirit Mountain County. The village was not big, and there were only forty to fifty families.

This place was close to the mountain and the river, and the environment was beautiful. The villagers were previously living a wealthy and comfortable life, but because of the war and natural disasters, this normally prosperous little mountain village also suffered.

The drought continued, and the weather became scorching hot. Everyone’s emotions had become impetuous. At dusk, the weather had turned cold, so everyone had to move out.

The villagers gathered together to ask about the news. Their faces were full of grief and sorrow, “The heavens don’t want us to live anymore. When is it going to be the end?”

The others all nodded sadly as they looked up at the sky, hoping for rain to fall.

At this time, a ruckus could be heard at the village entrance. Everyone looked in the direction of the noise and saw many villagers surrounded the village. They asked the people next to them, “What’s going on?”

“What else can we do? Lin Dasheng wants to sell off his daughter. ” The one who spoke was a 30-40 year old woman. She was dressed in coarse clothes and her hair was wrapped in a square towel.

But in this Lin Da Shun’s house, the people could not help but shake their heads when they thought about it, “Jin Niang is a pitiful person.”

“That’s right, she already started washing clothes and cooking at such a young age, Yang Lihua gave her all of the household chores, busy as a maid at home. Not only was she beaten up and scolded, she often refused to eat, and now she’s even being sold, truly …” He shook his head again.

“Yeah, what a pity!” Another man echoed.

Although her words were pitiful, no one would step forward to help her. After all, that was her family’s problem, and it wasn’t easy for them to have such a life.

Although he wouldn’t help, he still couldn’t help but step forward to watch the show. Life was tough, and having such a thing as an alternative was not bad.

The little girl looked to be at most four or five years old. She was thin and withered, and looked like she was malnourished. The wounds on her forehead were not that deep, and there were still some blood stains on her face. It was a shocking sight.

However, none of the three people present paid attention to her wound, as they were still arguing over the disparity in benefits.

The first to speak was the old woman, “Alright, let’s just treat it as my bad luck. I’ll give you a silver tael and then I’ll bring her away and treat her wounds. I still don’t know if I’ll leave any scars.” As he spoke, he had a look of disdain on his face, as if he had suffered a huge loss.

She had already gotten someone to take back the 10 taels of silver, so she naturally signed the indenture contract with Lin Da Shun. Although Lin Da Shun felt bad for having his money stolen, he did not dare to argue with the person that Xia Pozi brought along. He was just like a tyrant who would beat up his child’s wife when he was at home.

The reason why Xia Pozi was still willing to buy Jin Niang was because she had been lucky. What if this child didn’t leave a scar in the future? Didn’t that mean I got lucky for nothing?

But when Yang Lihua heard this, she did not take it lying and looked at Xia Pozi with wide eyes, “What? One tael of silver? You wish! My good daughter was ruined by your hand, and you only gave me one tael of silver? “No, definitely not!”

Xia Pozi gave her 10 taels of silver in one go, she already knew where she would be sold off to, but she already did not care about that much, as the family was about to lose food, and she still had a son to support.

Who would have thought that it would actually be smashed in the head? It was only worth a tael of silver right now, how could this work?

Xia Pozi was annoyed just from looking at this Jin Niang. Previously, shshewas just looking at her pretty face, and thought that if she could buy him and train him a little, he could then sell him off and earn a ton of money.

Who would have thought that this child would actually be so ill that even the corridor would be difficult to handle? Afterwards, he accidentally knocked on a rock and broke his appearance. How could such a mischievous girl be worth any money? Even if he bought it, he could only sell it to a rich family as a maid.

Thinking that it was due to the negligence of the woman in front of him that he earned a bit less silver, Xia Pozi became impatient, “Then how much more do you want?”

Yang Lihua looked at his man, then looked at her daughter on the ground and bit on his lips, “4 taels, I can’t lose any more.”

“Two taels?” “Why don’t you just rob them?” Xia Pozi looked at Yang Lihua as if she wanted to eat him up.

It was true that an ordinary maid like this would only spend three to four silver taels without breaking her appearance, let alone a year like this.

Yang Lihua also knew that she wanted a little too much, but in the end, the greed in her heart had completely overshadowed him, and she began to defend herself, “Jin Niang knows how to do all sorts of household chores, and will be able to get the hang of it once I buy it.

The villagers scoffed at him, making him sound so pitiful. Who didn’t know about the treatment Jin Niang was getting at home?

At this time, the people who didn’t like Yang Lihua and those who were jealous of him after hearing the four taels of silver started to ridicule him.

“Jin Niang is truly pitiful. To be able to ruin her looks at such a young age, how are we going to get married in the future?” A fair woman in her twenties was the first to speak. Although she said it was pitiful, there was not the slightest trace of pity in her eyes. There was even a faint ridicule from a schadenfreude.

Beside her, a woman who had a good relationship with her also said, “That’s right, it’s really pitiful. Such a big wound, it’s definitely a disfigurement.” As he spoke, he clicked his tongue twice.

Their words successfully caused everyone to focus their attention on the little girl sitting on the ground. Looking at her bloodied face, someone could not help but cry out, “Aiya, why is it so serious?”

Xia Pozi also looked at Jin Niang who was on the ground. Why did she have her face covered in blood?

Seeing that Xia Pozi’s gaze was off, Yang Lihua became anxious, and shouted at the crowd: “What nonsense are you spouting, Lin Ping? My Jin Niang is perfectly fine, don’t curse my daughter. ”

At this time, Lin Da Shun walked up and pulled Jin Niang up. Because his movements were too sudden, Jin Niang did not notice, and was pulled until she staggered, almost falling down once again.

Someone from the crowd exclaimed, “Aiya, could it be that he broke it?” Then, everyone began to discuss something about not only having a bad appearance, but also being a fool. What should they do in the future?

When Xia Pozi saw Jin Niang being pulled by Lin Dashun in a daze, her heart tightened. It can’t be, right?

Yang Lihua saw Xia Pozi’s anxious expression and thought, if she’s really stupid, then I’ll have to give her up for free. She was also afraid in her heart, staring fiercely at the crowd, he pulled Xia Pozi and said with an apologetic smile, “Two taels of silver, what do you think?”

Xia Pozi still wanted to dodge, but she clenched her teeth and replied, “One tael, no more.” One tael is one tael, don’t smash it in your hands.

Yang Lihua, who had originally thought that she had already suffered a great loss, thought that Xia Pozi would eventually agree. Who knew that she would still be unwilling, Xia Pozi waved her hands, “You should still bring her back, I don’t want her anymore.”

Seeing that Xia Pozi was serious, Yang Lihua became anxious and stomped his feet, “How can you say you don’t want it? Give me some silver and you can take him away. ”

At this time, Lin Da Shun was also getting a bit anxious. Seeing that the silver he had obtained was just going to fly away like that, he was extremely anxious, and then, he loosened his hand from Jin Niang’s grasp. Jin Niang once again sat on the ground, stupefied, and did not have any other reaction.

When Xia Pozi saw this, her heart thumped loudly. She was really dumb, and then said that she wasn’t willing to accept anything.

She wanted to pull Jin Niang up so that she could have some other reaction. Some kind aunt, when she saw Yang Lihua’s attitude, knew that she was going to hit her again, so she hurriedly went forward to protect Jin Niang.

At this moment, someone called out, “Uncle Li Zheng is here.”

He had recently sold off his daughter in the village, so he was aware of this, but even though he was from the same village, he couldn’t be bothered about other people’s family matters.

He was disdainful towards Lin Dasheng and Yang Lihua, even though he felt it was a pity for Jin Niang, but there were too many that he couldn’t do it.

At this time, when he saw Jin Niang’s face covered in blood, he was completely dumbfounded. His eyebrows knitted even tighter as he looked at the Lin Dasheng and his wife with a gaze filled with coldness.

“What are you all doing here? It’s almost dark, and you’re still not going home. ” His voice was stern.

The current him in the village was still very dignified. Because he was a just person and was usually more serious, many people did not dare act rashly in front of him. As long as he pulled his face down, even the usually bold and aggressive Yang Lihua would be afraid.

Xia Pozi really didn’t want to buy Jin Niang anymore, but she also didn’t want to bring him home. This daughter of hers was a cripple, although she felt that it was a pity, but for the sake of lacking a burden in her life in the future, she didn’t plan to take her away.
