Finally, when the candle was about to burn out and the copy was finished, Huo Ruihua stopped writing.
He exhaled softly and turned his aching arm.
He took another look at the thick pile next to him that had not yet been copied. After copying them all, he could get 100 copper coins back.
I have a rest at home on Saturday. It seems that I will be busy tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he turned over and lay on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, as soon as it dawned, Huo Ruihua had already gotten up and prepared breakfast.
This was a habit he had developed over a long period of time.
No matter how late you go to bed at night, you wake up at the same time the next morning.
The burden on his shoulders means that he cannot be lazy.
The little boss is also a sensible person, and he will follow suit when the time comes.
There was no school today, so he cleaned the house inside and out.
He could tell that this new woman loved to be clean.
Since she came, the house is much cleaner than before.
Everything is almost tidied up and the meal is ready.
The three people in the room showed no sign of getting up.
So they both started reading their own books and doing their own things.
Fu Ziya didn't even know that they were staying at home today.
After she got up slowly as usual, she discovered that Huo Ruihua and the little eldest child were in the house.
She smiled a little apologetically: "I didn't know you were resting at home today. In fact, you could have called me up."
"It doesn't matter, let's wash up and eat quickly." Huo Ruihua said.
The porridge cooked in the morning was indeed Huo Ruihua's style.
The dish was made by Fu Ziya last night.
Fu Ziya didn't say anything. It was quite comfortable to drink porridge occasionally.
Fu Ziya replenishes the rice noodles at home every day, so the porridge they drink in the morning is also made from rice.
After several people finished their breakfast, the eldest and the second ones washed the dishes first.
After Huo Ruihua finished eating, he went back to his room to copy books.
Take these two days off and try to finish transcribing them all.
Fu Ziya suddenly found that he had nothing to do.
The little old lady followed behind her, and the only one she wanted was this aunt.
Fu Ziya smiled and picked her up.
Suddenly there was a noise from next door, which seemed to come from Sister Wu's house next door.
Fu Ziya thought for a while, then carried the child out of the courtyard.
When she arrived at Sister Wu's house, her house was already full of people.
Fu Ziya was really confused. She didn't understand what happened?
Things were fine yesterday, so what happened today?
I only saw an old woman in her 50s pointing at Sister Wu and scolding: "You are a murderer. Your family is living such a good life. What's wrong with your brother-in-law just asking you to pay some money?"
"Mom, it's not like you don't know what's going on at home. I have no money. If I have money, how can I not help my brother-in-law?" Sister Wu was speechless. At this time, her hair was still in her hands. She couldn't Dare to struggle hard.
"No money, no money. You are willing to buy so many good fabrics. These fabrics are worth a lot of money. You must have secretly hidden your personal money. Will you take out the money? Otherwise, I will let my son divorce. You." The old woman increased her strength on her hands and said fiercely.
Sister Wu cried and begged for mercy: "Mom, please let go of me first. We really have no money at home. This belongs to the wife of the Huo family next door. I help her wash and make clothes for the children. You are not responsible for what is going on at home. have no idea."
The old woman had made it clear that she was asked to take out the money, so how could she possibly listen to her?
In her heart, she had already concluded that this daughter-in-law was dishonest and secretly hid her private money.
"I don't care. If you don't come up with ten taels of silver now, I will sell Daya. You don't blame me for being cruel."
Sister Wu's scalp was almost torn, but this old lady was an elder, so she couldn't be cruel to her, so she had to beg for mercy.
But when she said she wanted to sell Daya, she was extremely angry.
She suddenly wanted to break free from the clutches of her hands: "Mom, what are you talking about? No matter what, Daya is still your eldest granddaughter. Do you have the heart to sell your granddaughter?"
Old woman: "I only feel sorry for my little son. If you don't feel sorry for me, I feel sorry for him. Whenever I think about it, it's still such a cold weather and he can't get out of the yamen without eating or drinking. My heart aches."
There is no shortage of melon eaters everywhere, and the onlookers are talking about it:
"This old woman is nothing. She will be punished by God for treating her daughter-in-law like this."
"Who says it's not the case? The younger son didn't do his job properly and got into trouble, and now the older son is asking for money to wipe his ass."
"Isn't it true? How much money can every household save in a year for ten taels of silver? How can there be so much silver?"
"This old woman also said she wanted to sell her eldest granddaughter? Is she still a human being?"
"I don't know where the men in their family are, so I won't come out and take care of them at this time."
"You said that Old Liu doesn't care about anything at home, and he just hides when something happens."
"Does any of you know what happened to her youngest son?"
"I also heard from Ri that he seemed to have molested the wife of a family, and was first arrested by the police."
"You said so. At this age, you won't get a wife and settle down. You'll just be idle all day long."
"It's not because of being spoiled by this old woman. It's really not easy for you to talk about the eldest son. The eldest son has to support a whole family. If something happens, he will have to sell his daughter."
"This matter probably won't go well."
·············
Soon an old woman in her 40s, followed by two big men, walked over.
She had a sinister look on her face, and she twisted her waist and walked in.
"Give it a go, auntie, which one do you want to sell?"
When Sister Wu saw the person coming, she knew that this person was a human trafficker. She saw that her daughter was looking at these people in confusion.
Da Ya is only 7 years old this year. She still cannot understand that she will be sold by her grandmother soon.
Sister Wu felt dead in her heart at this time.
She no longer cared about the tension on her body and used her greatest strength to break free from the restraints on her hands.
She ran to the kitchen, picked up the kitchen knife, and then stood in front of her daughter.
Her husband had gone out to work early in the morning, and she could only rely on herself today.
Sister Wu really didn't expect that this old woman would really dare to set her sights on her daughter.
She knew she couldn't be weak at all, otherwise her daughter would not be saved.
"If you want to take my daughter away, step over my body."
The little stool was also frightened and cried loudly.
Fu Ziya quickly pulled the small stool to her side.
When Da Ya saw her mother holding a knife, she was also frightened and cried.
