Chapter 27 How to choose
It was not until after supper that Liu and the others came back.
Rice, noodles, oil, and a piece of meat!
Looking at the things I bought from the county town and thinking about the money in my pocket, Liu's entire face was glowing.
As the saying goes, if you have food at home, you won’t feel panic. You will finally have to worry about this year.
"Xiaoya, look." Liu took out a piece of flower cloth, "When tomorrow my mother cuts this cloth, she will make a new dress for you, Qiaoer, and Niu Niu."
When Jiang Xiaoya heard this, she looked at the coarse flower cloth in Liu's hand and was filled with joy, "Thank you, mom."
Seeing Jiang Xiaoya's happy look, Liu couldn't help but smile. Although he was not his own, Liu didn't want to treat her too badly. He could save others from gossiping and also save his conscience.
"Okay, you are exhausted today, hurry up and go to bed! Mom goes to your grandma's yard."
While it was dark, I gave some of the things I bought to Old Lady Jiang.
In these poor years, those who have food dare not show off or live too seriously.
"Sister, brother, do you want to listen to stories? Today, Sister Xiaoya told me many nice stories..." Niu Niu looked at Jiang Qiao and Jiang Dabao excitedly.
When Jiang Qiao heard this, she glanced at Jiang Xiaoya, but didn't say anything, and hugged Niu Niu into the house.
Jiang Dabao walked to Jiang Xiaoya, "Is there nothing wrong with being at home today?"
After hearing Dabao's question, Jiang Xiaoya naturally remembered Zhang Xiu and the third aunt.
"Brother, what does third aunt's third aunt do? Do you know?"
Upon hearing the words, Jiang Dabao was stunned, "San Aunt? There are only two aunts in the third aunt's house, but there are no third aunts!"
"Then do she have any relatives whom she calls Sangu?"
Jiang Dabao shook his head, "I haven't heard of it. What's wrong? Is something happening?"
"It's okay." Jiang Xiaoya said, and walked into the house.
Jiang Dabao has never heard of it. It is probably not. In this way, why do you have to cover up the guise of relatives when introducing it? And the look of the third aunt...
Jiang Xiaoya thought, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were dark.

Seeing Liu, Old Lady Jiang took the lead in asking, "Is the second (Jiang Dabao Da) okay?"
"Well, he is pretty good. He eats a lot and does not suffer from the cold. His family is kind and never harsh in wages. He told his mother not to worry about him." As he said that, he handed a string of copper coins from his arms to Mrs. Jiang, "This is all earned by Dabao Dad. I keep half of these mothers. You keep them."
"He is determined." As he said this, only half of it was left, and the other half was put back in Liu's hands. "There are only two of you and your father here, so you can't use much money. You can still take these, don't lose a few kids too much."
"Mom, my family is enough, you still..."
"Pretending it, stop talking so much." As he said, he changed the topic, "Is the restaurant where the second child is doing work now, who is the one Mr. Du in our town who runs out?"
"Yes! It's Fei from the Du family. Although his family is not as rich as the Yuan family, he is also a wealthy family. He has hundreds of acres of fertile land and a large group of servants. He can't even ask for anything, that's right..." Liu sighed, with an envious and regretful expression on his face.
"What are you sighing?"
"I just didn't expect that people like Mr. Du are not short of food and drink, and have a lot of money. It turns out that it's not easy." Liu looked at Mrs. Jiang and whispered, "I heard from my father that the eldest grandson, who is just ten years old in Master Du's family, seems to be almost out of reach."
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she was shocked. It is not a secret that the Du family grandson was born weak and sick. But she didn't expect that she would be so weak?
"It's really that serious?"
"Yes! So, Daddy said that they have been very careful in their work recently, for fear that they will make their master even more unhappy."
"You have to be careful, you have to be careful..."
The boss is not happy, so it is too common to take down someone and vent his anger.
After chatting for a while, Liu got up and walked out of the door when he suddenly heard Old Mrs. Jiang say something...
"Jiang Xiaoya is also pretty good. If you want to raise it, just raise it. We adults pick out some food from our mouths, and it is not that we can't support her."
When Liu heard the words, he was stunned and realized that he was about to speak, but Old Mrs. Jiang had already closed the door.
Very good?
My mother-in-law just said that Xiaoya is pretty good? Why did she suddenly praise her?
Thinking back to the beginning, Xiaoya became a girl from the Yuan family, and her mother-in-law never praised her. Now that she has been driven out of the Yuan family, why is it...
Liu was wondering when suddenly a man appeared in front of him, which scared Liu to the point of being shocked, "Who?"
"Second sister-in-law, don't be afraid, it's me."
It was Zhang Xiu's voice, and Liu patted her chest, "My brother and sister, you scared me to death. It's so late, what are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm waiting for you, Second Sister-in-law! Come on, come and go to my house." As he said that, he pulled Liu home without saying anything.
The two walked away, and a small figure walked out from behind the haystack and followed slowly.
Zhang Xiu pulled Liu to his kitchen and said with a smile, "Second Sister-in-law, this time I went to the county town, my second brother gave you a lot of money, right?"
"No, not much. He does rough work and his wages are not high." Liu said hurriedly.
Liu's tone seemed to be afraid of her robbing her. Zhang Xiu snorted coldly in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't show any signs of it. He just sighed and said, "It's hard to make money these days, and it's not easy for him to do it."
"Yes, yes!"
"It's hard to make money, and there's almost no harvest in the fields this year. Our two adults can't fill their stomachs, let alone your four children."
"No, it's not easy."
"Second sister-in-law, you see that life is so difficult. So, you should hurry up and send it away!"
Liu nodded habitually, "Yes, I want to..." As soon as he said halfway through the agreement, he suddenly felt something was wrong, "Send it away? Why should I send Xiaoya away?"
"Of course it's because life is difficult! Your own children are almost out of food, so how can you still raise her? Mom also wants you to drive her away at that time?" Zhang Xiu looked at Liu with bright eyes and said quickly, "Second sister-in-law, I have already found someone for Jiang Xiaoya. As long as I send her over, I am willing to pay two taels of silver as a thank you!"
Zhang Xiu stretched out his two fingers and shook them in front of Liu's eyes, "Second sister-in-law, two taels of silver! How much white rice noodles can you buy!"
As long as Jiang Xiaoya is delivered, Liu's family will get two liang and eight liang. Thinking about it, Zhang Xiu is so excited that he can't stop talking. He is worthy of being a wealthy family, and he is generous in his actions.
It is very common for buying a girl for two taels of silver to be famine. I think Liu's honest fellow would not doubt anything.
Liu grabbed Zhang Xiuhuang's hand and felt dizzy, "I worry my brother and sister. However, our little boy is not sold."
"Not selling? Why not sell?" Zhang Xiu smiled and immediately dispersed.
"Although life is more difficult, we can still support her. Dabao's father and mother have also said that adults can raise her by eating less." Liu said gently.
When Zhang Xiu heard the words, his brows frowned instantly.
"Then, if my brother and sister have nothing else, I will go back first." After saying that, he turned around and just walked to the door and was drunk.
"stop!"
After hearing this cold shout, Liu was stunned and stopped. Seeing Zhang Xiuchen's face, he walked to her with an unpredictable expression, "Second sister-in-law, don't you ask which family you want to buy Jiang Xiaoya?"
Liu: I don’t sell it, so I ask what I do?
Seeing that Liu didn't say anything, Zhang Xiu said, "It's either another family or the Du family where my second brother works now."
Upon hearing this, Liu was stunned, "Du family?!"
"That's right, it's the Du family. And they have sent someone to secretly see Jiang Xiaoya. They are very satisfied with her. They have already handed over and asked for someone. If you don't sell it, you can't let the Du family's wife get what you want. Then, it's hard to say whether the second brother can keep his job."
When Liu heard the words, his face changed.
Seeing her face change, Zhang Xiu's expression calmed down again and said earnestly, "Second Sister-in-law, Jiang Xiaoya is not the seed of our Jiang family. If you send her away, not only will you lose one person to eat at home, but you can also get two taels of silver. Maybe Mr. Du is happy to see Jiang Xiaoya like it, even his second brother can be used. Where can you find such a good thing? Besides, we are not sending Jiang Xiaoya to endure hardships, that is to send her to enjoy happiness. She went to the Du family to eat delicious food, which is better than eating braised vegetables for you. Second sister-in-law will think about it carefully when she goes back!"
After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, she walked away with her feet and said, "Anyone with a brain knows how to choose." And Liu, no matter how foolish and kind, she should know how to choose when she is a husband's job and is with an outsider."
Jiang Xiaoya walked out of the corner, looked through the window at Liu, who looked panicked and silently left.
