Chapter 1695: Extra: Supporting Shen He
If you sell Da Ya to someone else, you will never see it again even if you want to.
But if you sell it to Shen He - if there is something going on at home in the future, can Da Ya just ignore it?
Apparently the eldest aunt thought so too.
Even if she sticks to her mother's family, Daya is her first child after all, so she still has some feelings for her.
So now that Shen He proposed to sell Daya to her, the eldest aunt was really tempted.
"What's the price?" The eldest aunt finally said.
After hearing what his eldest aunt said, Shen He felt unspeakable irony and sadness in his heart.
He sold his children as goods to support his parents' family. How blind was his uncle back then to marry this woman!
Could it be possible that the aunt adopted her so that she could sell food when she was older?
It’s just haha!
Shen He's sense of his uncle's family suddenly hit rock bottom. "Then let's settle it at the original price. Five taels of silver will buy out everything Da Ya owns. From now on, Da Ya will have nothing to do with the uncle's family. In the future, Da Ya will not need to support you, nor will he need your family property. That won't matter. Problem?"
Shen He was too lazy to dwell on it anymore and wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible.
"Okay." The aunt replied very cheerfully.
Shen He stood up immediately and said, "I'll go ask the village chief and Li Zheng to handle the household registration transfer immediately."
After saying that, Shen He turned around and left.
As soon as he went out, he saw Uncle Wang coming back from outside.
Only then did a ray of sunshine appear on Shen He's face: "Second uncle, where have you gone again?"
When Uncle Wang saw Shen He coming, he immediately glanced at the Shen family and explained to Shen He in a low voice: "Isn't it getting cold now? Let's hunt down more prey before it snows so that we can survive the winter. If it snows, we won't be able to go into the mountains. . What are you doing here?”
Shen He's voice deepened: "Uncle's family is going to sell Da Ya."
A trace of anger also flashed in Uncle Wang's eyes: "There really is no such family in our Shenjia Village! The current situation is not bad, and you can actually live to the point of selling your children. You, an uncle, are simply..."
Shen He nodded heavily: "After all, Daya is my sister. I can't just sit back and watch, so I paid the money, but from now on, Daya has nothing to do with the Shen family."
Second Uncle Wang frowned, and then said: "It's okay for Da Ya to follow you. Such a family won't be able to sell to a decent place. By following you, I can at least have something to eat. But your side..." Shen He understood that Second Uncle Wang was Worried about Wen Jianqing, he immediately replied with a smile: "Second uncle, don't worry, Jianqing is one of our own. By the way, it's getting cold, why don't your second uncle move to my place too! There are more people there and it's lively. No." A pair of chopsticks will save you
Being alone at home is deserted. "
Second Uncle Wang said with a gentle look on his face: "No need, Second Uncle is used to being alone. You go quickly to avoid any further mishaps."
Shen He responded and went to find the village chief.
Before arriving at the village chief's house, Wen Jianqing's guard suddenly found Shen He and whispered a few words into Shen He's ear. Shen He, who had been calm at first, suddenly became furious: "Are you serious? "
Wen Jianqing's guard immediately nodded: "Yes."
Shen He's steps suddenly stopped, and a touch of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth: "My aunt, you are so calculating! If one daughter is not enough, how about another one?"
It turned out that as soon as Shen He left, someone went to Uncle Shen's house. Hearing that Da Ya was promised to someone else, they ordered Er Ya to ask for Er Ya.
Although Erya was young, the other party still gave her a price of five taels of silver.
It seems that the wealthy family in the county has almost all of their maids dead and is eager to fill the gap.
Eight-year-old Erya is naturally the best choice.
So the aunt decided to sell Erya again.
In this way, I will have ten taels of silver, build a house for my brother, and have money to buy food for the New Year!
This is really a good calculation!
Shen He did not ask the guard what his good uncle said. I guess you just agreed without saying anything, right?
For them, children are probably mobile rations.
Shen He really didn't know what to say to such a family.
Originally, I was thinking of letting the uncle and his mother separate, but now it seems that separation is too cruel, so let them go to hell together!
Shen He immediately said to Wen Jianqing's bodyguard, "I have something I want you to do."
The guard immediately came over, squatted down, and listened to Shen He say a few words like this.
After hearing this, the guard was stunned for a moment, then stood up straight, bowed and said, "Take your orders."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Shen He turned around and returned to his home. When he saw Wen Jianqing looking at him with worry, Shen He immediately pulled Wen Jianqing inside: "Jianqing, you are the second generation of a rich man and a second generation official. Come on, come on. , do something for me without anyone noticing..."
After hearing what Shen He said, Wen Jianqing immediately said, "No problem, I'll support you!"
After saying that, Wen Jianqing smiled and said: "In the past, it was the eldest sister who supported us, but I took the opportunity to support her."
Shen He laughed: "Don't worry, there will be plenty of room for you in the future."
Wen Jianqing quickly arranged for people to win over Da Ya's uncle and learn how to eat, drink, whore, gamble and smoke.
It’s not easy to learn well, isn’t it easy to learn bad things?
Soon, Da Ya's uncle lost all the money he had.
Not to mention the house, the wife was lost.
What should I do if I have no money?
Of course I'm selling people!
So, Daya's uncle set his sights on his nephews.
This time Shen He did not stop them, and watched his uncle and aunt pack up Daya, Erya and Sanya and sell them all. They wanted to sell Xiaobao, but Shenjia Village disagreed.
In the feudal era, male adults meant labor and roots.
Male adults were generally not sold. Unless they really couldn't make ends meet.
Now, it's not the time to really make ends meet.
So, only Daya, Erya and Sanya were sold for ten taels of silver.
After Daya, Erya and Sanya were sold, they were immediately taken over by Shen He's people, who asked for the indentures and took them away directly, stuffed them into Shen He's small yard, and didn't let them go out.
Having tasted the benefits of selling people, how could Daya's uncle give up easily?
Sure enough, after he ran out of money, he turned around and set his sights on Xiaobao.
While the uncle's family was not paying attention, he stole Xiaobao away, and was caught in the act during the transaction.
Shen He watched from afar, wanting to see how far his uncle and aunt would go.
Sure enough, when the uncle and aunt found Xiaobao, they immediately hugged Xiaobao and burst into tears.
But what surprised Shen He was that the two of them only cried and did not even pursue the responsibility of Daya's uncle! Shen He heard Daya's uncle shouting beside him: "The kid only sold two taels of silver, which is not enough for me to pay off my debt! Sister, I found a family for you. As long as you go over, they will give you three taels of silver!"
