Chapter 1680: Extra: The Logic of the Poor
After Shen He understood it, he laughed angrily!
What kind of brother is this!
What kind of mother is this!
What kind of uncle is this!
He actually wanted to sell his own niece for the sake of his marriage!
But the old woman agreed to come over and have fun!
I have never seen such a bloody best relative!
Shen He looked at his uncle, then shook his head helplessly.
When it comes to this kind of thing, as a man, I can't stand it.
It's no wonder that the aunt is no more than thirty years old, and she looks like she is in her fifties. Second Uncle Wang pulled Shen He out and whispered: "Don't go there now, otherwise the old woman will try to trick you! Now that you have no parents, your uncle has the final say in your affairs. If you really force the seller
At this point, if I want to sell, I have to sell you first. After all, you are old and easy to take action. "
Shen He felt like a bolt from the blue in his head!
yes!
Damn it!
I actually forgot that human trafficking is legal in this deceitful society!
Oops, I made a mistake!
I want to grow up in peace, but I have to go through so many sinkholes!
Shen He has never been a reckless and impulsive person.
After Uncle Wang reminded her, he immediately turned around and hid in Uncle Wang's house.
Anyway, she is only ten years old now. She is a little girl from the countryside, and it is still early for her to discuss marriage, so she does not need to worry about any male-female precautions.
In another two years, I'm afraid it won't be possible.
At the age of twelve, it is also the age to discuss marriage.
Shen He felt heartbroken just thinking about it.
Twelve years old!
In my previous life, I was still in elementary school at the age of twelve!
You can actually discuss marriage here!
What a fool!
But the people here think very strangely.
The poorer you are, the poorer you are, and the poorer you are, the poorer you are.
Because if you have one more child, you have to pay an additional capitation tax. If you have more children, you will naturally pay more.
Everyone understands this truth, and yet they continue to be born one after another until they can no longer be born.
Because there were too many children and there was no food to eat, they started selling their children!
In a good year, everyone will be able to make ends meet.
But if there is a disaster year, the whole family will sell it together.
The children were sold to others to be used as domestic servants, servants, and maids, and if they didn't work out, they were sold to others as concubines.
The adults sold them to others to work as coolies.
I really don’t know what these people are thinking, their logic is simply incomprehensible.
And the people here only want to have sons, not daughters.
So many girls were sold at such low prices.
When their sons were about to get married, they found that there were too few girls of marriageable age. This caused the families of marriageable girls to raise prices, and all kinds of lions asked for gifts.
Who says girls are rare?
As a result, families who wanted to find a wife began to sell their daughters to raise money for their sons to find a wife.
This creates a vicious cycle, passed down from generation to generation, it is simply a group of scammers with bad brains!
Shen He looked at the farce outside with a nonchalant expression. Unable to hold it back, he started complaining to Uncle Wang: "When my uncle got married, she was probably sold, right?" Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes. Ah, when your grandparents were still alive, they spent a lot of money in gifts to marry your eldest uncle. Later, if your father hadn't been admitted as a scholar, your eldest uncle might not have been able to marry her no matter how much money he spent.
Where is the wife! "
Shen He suddenly didn't know what to say.
The farce outside lasted until the afternoon.
The eldest uncle threatened her with death and knocked on the door, forcing her mother to leave the village.
But with such a commotion at home, no one cooked dinner.
Before Shen He went back, he thought for a while and handed all the money he had to Uncle Wang: "Second uncle, I don't want to doubt my aunt, but I don't believe in human nature. You can keep this money for me. I believe it." you."
Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, then solemnly took the money handed over by Shen He and asked, "Are you worried that your aunt will use your money to marry your brother?"
"It's obvious, isn't it?" Shen He laughed at himself: "As my second uncle said, if I am destined to sell a child, it will be easier for me to take action. So I have to make some plans for myself."
"This child of yours is really..." Second Uncle Wang hesitated: "He is very different from your parents!"
Shen He chuckled.
Of course she doesn't look like that.
She is not a pure ancient person.
She is a future person who has received various high-end educations.
She knows better than them what it means to be human, knows better than them to make choices, and knows better than them to make good use of all available environments and people.
After Shen He returned home, he saw Da Ya and Er Ya hugging each other and crying softly. San Ya and Xiao Bao were confused and didn't know what happened.
The uncle and his wife were sitting and sulking while looking at the mess in the yard.
Shen He didn't ask anything, just silently helped pack things.
Shen He was thinking about it while tidying up.
The uncle's mother-in-law's family has gone back temporarily this time, and I'm afraid they won't let it go so easily.
If Da Ya cannot be arrested this time, who will be arrested next time?
Then it is very likely that it will be yourself.
It seems that I still have to find a way to completely eliminate this problem this time.
If you want to make the eldest uncle's mother-in-law give up the idea of selling people, you must start from the uncle's mother-in-law's family.
So, what is the key to hindering the family of the aunt? Just when Shen He was thinking about this question, he heard the aunt slowly speaking: "Xiao He is two years older than Daya, so why not let Xiao He replace Daya. I heard that the family has more than ten acres of land, so there is no problem in having enough food."
Shen He stopped working immediately.
She stood up and smiled.
Sure enough.
The aunt still set her sights on her.
Can she hide for a while, but can she hide forever?
Will she live in fear of being sold for the rest of her life?
No, Shen He never accepts her fate!
Shen He pretended not to hear and said to her uncle: "The pot at home is broken, I'm going to Uncle Wang's house to borrow a pot to cook."
After that, Shen He turned around and left the house.
The uncle and aunt naturally would not think that Shen He went out this time to find a way to save himself, and they also thought that Shen He did not have the ability to save himself.
So Shen He walked out of the house easily.
The moment he stepped out of the house, Shen He looked back at the house, and his eyes instantly darkened.
This house cannot stay any longer.
Shen He knocked on Uncle Wang's door and asked directly: "Uncle Wang, I want to set up a daughter-in-law household on my own, is that okay?" Uncle Wang was shocked by Shen He's words, and then he understood it. It seems that Shen He's uncle really has an idea and plans to sell Shen He to get money for his brother-in-law to marry a wife.
