I hope I don't encounter such things in the future, otherwise I might want to take care of them again.
Zhao Yuner went to the market to buy some meat and vegetables.
The vegetables at home haven't grown yet, so we can't keep eating other people's vegetables. Buying them in Yangcheng, the cheap ones only cost a penny for a handful, is still a good deal.
After making the purchase, Zhao Yun'er was about to go back when suddenly a lot of people crowded in front of the road.
Seeing that it was still early, Zhao Yun'er went over with the intention of watching the fun.
After squeezing into a group of people, I saw a man in his twenties teasing a girl.
The girl is only in her teens, and her appearance is very delicate.
Next to the girl was an old man who looked very sick.
The man was followed by several entourages. Judging from his clothes, he must be relatively wealthy. But the appearance is really hard to describe. His face was pockmarked, his eyes were so small that you couldn't even see it, and he also had buck teeth. Her body is thin and short, and she feels very uncomfortable at first glance.
Zhao Yun'er inquired about the people watching the excitement and asked, "What happened?"
"Hey, I heard that the old man lost money in gambling, and then owed this young man fifty taels of silver. He can't exchange it for the money now. He wants to arrest the old man's daughter and use her daughter to pay off the debt."
Zhao Yuner nodded. After all, the ancient legal system was not as sound as the current legal system. Generally, if someone owed money, it was normal for the children of the family to pay off the debt.
Therefore, it is best not to get involved in things like gambling, otherwise it is very likely to ruin your family.
This old man looks pitiful but also hateful.
If it weren't for his own behavior, he wouldn't have caused his daughter to be like this.
The man's men picked up the girl and tried to drag her away. The girl was crying in Xinghualiyu, looking pitiful, and shouted to the old man on the ground. "Dad, dad, help me."
The old man also cried anxiously and said to the man, "Mr. Meng, when did I owe you fifty taels of silver? My old man has never gambled money in all these years."
The old man began to cry, and when he saw people watching, he said to the crowd, "My family lives in an alley in Kyoto. I believe many villagers also recognize me. Everyone knows who my old man has been all his life. He has never known As a gambler, I just want to live a good life with my little Feng'er, but this Mr. Meng has fallen in love with my little Feng and wants to buy my little Feng back as a concubine. I don't agree, after all, I am just such a daughter. No matter what, I can't let her suffer this kind of injustice in the future. This Mr. Meng just framed me for losing fifty taels of silver at his bank..."
As the old man spoke, he sobbed, touched the tears in the corners of his eyes, and continued, "Can you guys help me? I don't want my daughter to be wasted in vain like this."
After the old man finished speaking, there was discussion among the crowd, and some people who knew the old man said, "Uncle Chen is usually very honest and responsible. I have never seen him gambling. It seems that there is something fishy about this matter."
"That means that Mr. Meng just used this excuse to steal Uncle Chen's daughter?"
"Yeah, Uncle Chen is also pitiful. How about we help Uncle Chen?"
"Hey, it's better not to get into this muddy water. Mr. Meng had better not offend easily."
