Chapter XI

Liu Ya was teaching the village chief how to help Liu Jinbao remove something stuck in his throat when he was suddenly attacked by Mrs. Liu. He failed to dodge immediately and stumbled to the ground, pressing his palms on the broken porcelain pieces.

middle.

"Ms. Liu Zhao!" Hearing Liu Ya's groan of pain, the village chief shouted: "If you want your grandson to die like this, just keep making trouble."

Although the village chief was talking to Mrs. Liu, he didn't dare to stop what Liu Ya asked him to do.

Mrs. Liu originally wanted to take action, but the village chief's words succeeded in calming her down for a moment.

"Grandpa, the village chief, use more force and move his left arm downward a little..."

Liu Ya pulled out the fragments and ignored the wound, continuing to stare at Liu Jinbao's condition.

"Pop!"

The village chief tapped Liu Jinbao's back repeatedly, and finally saw Liu Jinbao coughing heavily.

Liu Ya hurriedly stretched out her hand to take out the broken bones from his mouth, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay. Let him sit there and relax for a while. His throat will probably hurt for a few days." Liu Ya helped the village chief stand up.

"Hurry up and wrap your hands. Grandpa, the village chief, will decide what happens here." The village chief looked at the injuries on Liu Ya's face, then looked at the injuries on her hands, and urged.

"It's okay, I don't even have a piece of cloth at home, just bear with it for a few days." Liu Ya smiled bitterly.

The family was so poor that they had to leave in tears even if a thief came in. The mother and daughter each had clothes that were patched and patched, and if they were taken off, there would be nothing to change.

Old Mrs. Liu was also very strict and was not allowed to bring out even a piece of rag.

"..."

The village chief was speechless for a moment, then he heard Mrs. Liu dragging Liu Jinbao, who was still breathing heavily, and shouted: "You evil star, you have harmed my dear grandson like this. Hurry up and pay for my dear grandson's compensation."

"Nai, there are only a few bowls and a basin in our house that were broken. Do you want me to pay for it with my life?" Liu Ya smiled bitterly.

"Who wants your life! I still think it's unlucky!" Old Mrs. Liu sighed, pointed at the Liu Miao and shouted: "Sell the Liu Miao, won't there be enough money to make up for my dear grandson?"

Seeing Mrs. Liu's taken-for-granted look, Liu Ya laughed angrily, while the village chief's beard stood straight up in anger.

"No, no one can sell my daughter again!"

Ms. Liu Wang stepped into the house, protecting Liu Miao behind her, and for the first time in her life, she was strong-willed.

"Even if I starve to death, I will not sell my daughter! My daughter-in-law is begging for a mother, can you let our family go?"

After just three words, Mrs. Liu's stubbornness turned into tears, which made Liu Ya want to cover her eyes.

"Grandpa Village Chief, you have also seen what is going on. I have to ask you to make the decision today." Liu Ya bowed deeply, not wanting to argue with Old Mrs. Liu anymore.

The wound needs to be treated. Moreover, Sanfang is weak at the moment. If the trouble continues, it may be considered unfilial.

Liu Ya didn't care about this, but she couldn't ignore the reputation of Liu Wang and Liu Miao.

"Ms. Liu Zhao, didn't you hear what I said before?"

The village chief was very satisfied with Liu Ya's attitude, and he immediately said to Mrs. Liu, "Liu Ya saved Liu Jinbao's life. If you don't thank her, you still want her to pay for it. That's really bad for you."

Such an old face."

Mrs. Liu was not willing to pay for the money, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Anyway, Jin Bao choked at their house. This matter cannot be left like this. At worst, both sides will be settled."

After saying that, Mrs. Liu grabbed Liu Jinbao and ran away. When she got to the door, she deliberately bumped into Wang Liu's side.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu Wang knew how to protect her belly, and Liu Miao helped her from behind, so nothing happened.

"Don't worry, I will deliver the things to you before dark today. Let's see if Mr. Liu Zhao dares to give him a penny less!"

The village chief's face turned dark with anger, he said these words and left.

Liu Ya washed the wound, and Liu Miao cleaned up the house. There were two people in the family of three with sad faces, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

"Second sister, do you feel pain? Can I blow it for you?" Liu Miao asked cautiously.

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days."

Liu Ya smiled and comforted her, but said in her heart: This body is seriously malnourished, and it has lost so much blood this time, so we have to find a way to make up for it.

Mrs. Liu pinched her clothes nervously, not daring to look into Liu Ya's cold eyes.

"mother."

Liu Ya sighed silently, put her uninjured hand on the back of Mrs. Liu Wang's hand, and asked: "Now, do you still think that no matter what you do, you should honor the old house first? Even if you can't redeem your eldest sister, you still have to let it go.

The old man came to ask for it?"

"I……"

Mrs. Liu Wang opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Filial piety is right!

But is it really right to sacrifice all your daughters to honor your mother-in-law?

Seeing that Mrs. Liu's mind had been shaken, Liu Ya didn't want to push her too hard, so she said, "I'll go for a walk in the mountains. Maybe I can find a few more nests of wild eggs. I have to save enough money to redeem my eldest sister as soon as possible."

Liu Wangshi's weak character was not formed in a day or two. Liu Ya can't push too hard. As long as Liu Wangshi is willing to slowly change her foolish and filial thoughts, she will be saved.

"Your hand is still injured, so don't go there today." Mrs. Liu said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, I won't chop wood today, I just want to get lucky."

Liu Ya shook her head and told Liu Miao: "Take good care of your mother at home. Don't be afraid of people coming from the old house. Don't be afraid of being embarrassed if you cry for help at the top of your lungs."

"Well, I understand, second sister." Liu Miao nodded hurriedly in response.

Mrs. Liu wanted to say something else, but Liu Ya had already left the room and could only swallow the words that came to her lips.

When it got dark, the village chief came with his grandson to give the third room what he had promised.

A basin, three bowls, and a pile of copper coins and one tael of silver. I don't know how much effort the village chief had to make the old man willing to bleed.

"Grandpa Village Chief, please help me collect this money first. You also know that the Ge family only gave me a month's time limit. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this money at home."

When Liu Ya was talking, she even glanced at Mrs. Liu Wang specifically.

"I listen to you, second girl." Mrs. Liu lowered her head, knowing that her temper could not keep her money.

"That's it, I'll collect the money from you for a month first." The village chief thought for a moment and felt that Liu Ya was thoughtful.

Just the contents of that document...

Glancing at Liu Ya, he was concerned that with Mrs. Liu on the side, the village chief would not be able to ask Liu Ya what his plans were.

But twenty taels of silver! Even if the village chief wants to help, he doesn't have the ability.

"Grandpa, village chief, can I trade half a hare with you for some millet?"

In view of what happened at noon, Liu Ya thought it would be more practical to replace the hare with grain. Otherwise, Mrs. Liu would not eat it, and she would be embarrassed to covet a pregnant woman, right?

"Okay, you come with me." The village chief didn't ask where the hare came from. He just picked it up in the mountains. This was good luck.

Liu Miao was a little sad. The rabbit meat promised to her by her second sister was gone. Maybe it was important to have food to fill her stomach. She couldn't be angry with her second sister.

Gejia Village.

Most of the houses in the village had turned off their lights. Only Ge Feng's house still had a lamp burning and the sound of reading could be heard from time to time.

"You bastard hoof, you can use ours for chewing, and you want to be lazy while doing some needlework, are you looking for a beating?"

Ge Huang cursed and hit Liu Ye with a whip. Liu Ye gritted her teeth in pain but did not dare to scream, otherwise she would only be beaten more severely.

Ever since Liu Ya signed the paperwork that day, Liu Ye had to get up to work before dawn, and could only rest in the woodshed until it was completely dark. He was only given two meals a day of enough water to wash the rice grains.

How can your body endure it?
