"You ... you ... are talking nonsense." Shen Dashan was so scared that he took two steps back.
He and Zhang widow good thing, the village does not know, Zhang widow pregnant, he sent people to his aunt's home, please aunt to help care, aunt lives, from them here there are twenty miles away it, this little girl is how to know?
How did this little girl know? And the matter of his selling his daughter, he never told anyone.
Even on the side of his parents and Widow Zhang, he didn't reveal half a word.
"Father, you're selling me?" Shen Furong looked at Shen Dashan with shock in her eyes.
She knew that Shen Dashan had always disliked her for being a daughter and not being able to pass on the family name to their Shen family, so he disliked her very much, and from childhood to adulthood, Shen Dashan had either beaten or scolded her.
Grandparents also only like the cousins of the eldest and second uncle's family.
There was no one in the world who truly loved her at all, except for her mother.
Before, Shen Dashan prevented her from touching that earthen urn for fear that she would be scalded, she thought that her father would finally care about her, and her heart was very touched.
She didn't expect that people would actually sell her and stop her, not caring about her, but fearing that she would burn herself and not be able to sell it.
"Miss Shen, do you want to work for me as a maid, and in a few years I'll find you a marriage and prepare a dowry for you to marry you off, or do you want to listen to your father and go to work as a common room for an old man?" Ye Yuqi turned his head and asked in a soft voice.
Without saying a word, Shen Furong immediately rubbed the blood on her hands on the ground and climbed up to stand behind Ye Yuqi.
"Take these thirty taels of silver to your father and ask him to make a note to sell you to me, from now on, you and him will have nothing more to do with each other."
Shen Furong heard the words without saying a word, quickly took the thirty silver, ran over and stuffed into the hands of Shen Dashan.
Shen Dashan can't read, or Shen Furong ran to Li Zheng's house, asked him to help make a note, let Shen Dashan pressed a handprint.
After finishing the work, Shen Furong carried a patched small bag, limped behind Ye Yuqi and left the village.
"Furong, how old are you?" Ye Yuqi turned her head and asked.
"Back to Miss, slave girl will be fourteen years old at the end of August." Shen Furong hurriedly said.
Although she grew up in the village and hadn't seen much of the world, once when she went to the county with her uncle, she had seen maids and young ladies from big families, and that's how those maids called young ladies.
Unfortunately, her grandfather and his family left Weishui County and went to the south, and she hadn't seen them for seven or eight years.
If her maternal grandfather and uncle were around, Shen Dashan wouldn't have dared to beat her, much less sell her.
However, to be able to work as a maid for this young lady was also considered her good fortune, it was much better than working as a common room for the old man.
Moreover, this young lady was just too powerful, getting rid of the evil thing that possessed her mother's body.
When she thought of her own mother, Shen Furong's heart was especially hard.
Her mother had only died a short time ago and had not yet been buried, and she, as a daughter, had to be far away from her hometown, which was really unfilial.
But if she stays here, she will be sold by her father to that old man as a concubine.
What is a concubine? It's just a plaything.
If Mother were alive, she would want her and Miss to leave, go as far away as possible, and never come back.
"I'm half a year older than you, don't worry, with me here, I'll make sure you can live a good life in the future." Ye Yuqi gently patted her shoulder and said softly.
"Many thanks, Miss." Shen Furong hurriedly thanked her.
Shen Dashan looked at his daughter's far away back, looked at the silver ticket in his hand, and for a moment he even wanted to chase after her, return the silver ticket to the person, and bring his daughter back, but he eventually held back.
Widow Zhang said, if he wanted a son, then he had to marry her, and had to give her ten taels of silver as a bride price, and had to marry her in style in a sedan chair, all of which required silver.
In order to exorcise his wife, he also borrowed two taels of silver from the Rizheng.
If he doesn't sell his daughter, what will he pay back? What's he going to take a wife with and what's he going to raise a son with?
Selling his daughter to this powerful young lady was better than working as a commoner for someone else, Shen Dashan could only comfort himself with this in his heart.
Over the years, he had indeed treated his daughter badly.
He wanted a son too much, but his wife hurt her body from giving birth to his daughter and couldn't have any more children, and he didn't have the silver to repudiate his wife and remarry, so he vented all his anger on his daughter.
But his daughter was really sold by himself, and when he left with others, he had some reluctance.
But there is only a little bit, this thirty taels of silver, enough for him to marry the widow Zhang over the door, and properly raise his son.
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Dashan hurriedly turned his head, no longer looking at his daughter's far away back, he looked at the silver ticket in his hand, just wanted to smile, but he was slapped on the face.
"You bastard, even if Furong is a girl, you shouldn't have sold her ah, where do you let our family's face rest? Selling a child and selling a daughter, there is no such thing in our village, how will you let your mother and I hold our heads up in front of the village people in the future?"
Shen Laohan was furious, while cursing, he reached out and fiercely hit Shen Dashan's face, slapped him several times in a row, hitting Shen Dashan's ears buzzing, his mind blank.
"You rebellious son, simply disgraced our face." Shen Laohan was furious and kicked his son very hard a few more times.
He knew that his son had invited someone to exorcise his daughter-in-law's evil spirits, and because they were afraid, the two of them didn't come over to watch.
As a result, they heard people say that their daughter-in-law had died and their son had sold their granddaughter.
A little girl is not important to them, but no one in their village has ever sold a child or a daughter.
Thinking of the strange eyes of others when they look at themselves, Shen Laohan was anxious and angry.
"Father ... father you don't be angry, I am also desperate ah, Zhang widow gave me a son, if I don't give her ten taels of silver as a bride price, can't not marry her over the door in style, she will take the child to marry someone else." Shen Dashan knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice.
"What did you ... say, you have a son?" Shen Laohan completely couldn't believe what he heard.
"Yes." Shen Dashan hurriedly told Shen Laohan the whole story.
Shen Laohan sighed at his words, "Our family Furong can be bought by a rich family's young lady, she will definitely have a good life in the future, it's much better than following us, get up, find a matchmaker tomorrow and go to Widow Zhang's place to propose marriage."
"Many thanks father." Shen Dashan's face immediately revealed a smile.
After Ye Yuqi came back with Shen Furong, he told Ye Mengwen and the others the whole story, and also took thirty taels of silver from Ye Mengwen to return to Qi Zhi Xuan.
Qi Zhi Xuan originally didn't want it, but he knew Ye Yu Qi's temper and eventually reached out to take it.
"Master Shizi, do you still remember that evil cultivator Xie Yun who harmed Xu Xiniang? I searched Liu Ruiling's soul, and Xie Yun is his eldest senior brother, the real son of Xie Peng, the Lord of the Cloud Palace."
