"Slender girl - skinny girl -"
Shen Ruolan stood at the door of Shen Dachui's house, stretched her neck and cried out.
After a while, Shouya didn't come out, but Zhaodi ran out. Seeing Shen Ruolan, Zhaodi was surprised: "Sister Lanya, why are you here?"
Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I'm afraid you won't be able to celebrate this festival, so I specially made some dumplings for you and brought them here. Go and call some of them out to eat together. Look, I covered the ones inside. The dumplings are still warm."
She tapped the small basin she was holding.
Zhao Di sniffed, and said with a nasal voice: "Sister Lan Ya, you should take the dumplings back. I'm afraid we won't be able to go to your house to work in the future."
Shen Ruolan was taken aback: "What's wrong?" Then she was surprised again: "Oh, why are your eyes red? Are you crying?"
Zhaodi's eyes were red, not only red, but also swollen, as if she had just cried.
Zhaodi pursed her lips and said, "Sister Lanya, my father is going to sell us, and even the price has been negotiated, so he will take us away after the first lunar month."
"Sold? Why did you sell you? Where did you sell it?"
Shen Ruolan couldn't believe her ears! How can there be parents who sell their daughters in this world? Even if you are too poor to eat, it’s not enough to sell one, why sell four at once? Could it be that they raised their daughters just to sell them
"My father said that our family was poor and couldn't afford to support us, so he sold us to a rouge old woman who didn't look like a serious woman at first glance, and said that as long as we were obedient, he would let us Eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and enjoy endless glory and wealth... "
As Zhaodi spoke, she wiped her tears, but the tears were like beads with a broken thread, and she couldn't wipe them off no matter how much she wiped.
At this moment, Shen Ruolan had basically guessed where Shen Dachui and the others had sold these skinny girls. She clenched her fists, and really wanted to rush in and beat those beasts. Everyone said that a tiger's venom doesn't eat its eggs, and the skinny girls... It's their own daughter, how could they have the heart to push their own daughter into the fire pit for some money? Still human
After a while, she calmed down and said, "Then what are you guys thinking? Are you willing to go?"
Zhao Di shook her head: "We don't want to go, how can there be such a good place in this world? It can let people go there for free to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, but I'm afraid it will sell us to the secret door (lower brothel) let's go!"
Obviously, she also understands her situation, so Shen Ruolan is relieved, or she is really afraid that they will be tricked by their parents and that godmother, and willingly jump into that pit of fire.
"Then what are you going to do? Listen to your parents or prepare to resist?"
"Why resist? If you work slower, you will be beaten and starved. If you resist, will we have a way out?" Zhao Di said, holding her head and slowly squatting down, curled up like a quail, With a look of sadness and despair that didn't match her age, she looked like a middle-aged woman who had gone through the world and lost confidence in the world.
Shen Ruolan thought for a while and said, "If you guys don't want to, I have a way to prevent you from being sold to that kind of place, but you have to leave your home and follow me from now on, are you willing?"
"Yes, I will, we all will."
Zhao Di raised her head, her eyes lit up instantly, and the light of hope burst out, "Sister Lan Ya, you really have a way to save us? You didn't coax me, did you?"
Shen Ruolan smiled: "What time is it, I don't have the heart to coax you!"
"But, what can you do? Will it work?" Zhaodi stood up and looked at her nervously, "That woman promised to give our family fifteen taels of silver, and she paid five taels of silver as a deposit. With the temperament of my parents and my grandma, it is absolutely impossible to spit out the money again."
Shen Ruolan said: "It's okay, I have my own way."
Her method is very simple, that is to spend more money than that godmother to redeem the sisters. There are more than 600 taels of silver in her space, and it is not a problem to redeem them. Moreover, how many of these sisters It will definitely help her in the future!
Zhaodi stared at Shen Ruolan for a while, then suddenly cried, "Sister Lanya, you are really a noble person in our life, I don't even know what to say..."
"If you don't know what to say, don't say anything. Call them out quickly. The dumplings will not taste good when they are cold. This is stuffed with pork and cabbage. There is more meat and less vegetables, but it is delicious."
Zhaodi wiped her eyes and said, "Okay, that sister will wait for us at the firewood pile behind, and I will go in and find them."
After finishing speaking, he trotted into the house.
After a while, both Lingdi and Daidi came out, except Shouya.
"Where's your sister? Why didn't you come out with her?" Shen Ruolan looked behind them, making sure that Shouya really didn't come out.
Zhaodi bit her lip and said: "My sister saw that they sold us to that kind of people, so she quarreled with my parents and grandma, and then she was injured by my father, and she couldn't get up on the kang …”
Shen Ruolan was silent for a while, opened the basin, and said, "Eat quickly, and take good care of your sister after eating, and tell her that I will rescue you as soon as possible."
