"Which one of you loves your daughter to be a child bride? Anyway, my daughter won't go. If anything happens to my Ling'er today, I won't let you two go even if I die!" A sharp voice sounded on Bai Ling'er's head, making her ears buzz.
What, what's wrong?
Bai Ling'er tried to think about it, but there was a heartbreaking pain in her head. At the same time, a lot of memories that did not belong to her came from her mind.
It turned out that she had time-traveled.
The original owner was a girl of about 12 or 13 years old. She came from an ordinary family in the county.
The ancestors of the family had also been well-known. The old man in the family was unwilling to decline, so he offered his eldest son to study. He didn't want to read more than 30 books, but he was still a scholar.
This uncle's heart was dark. He wanted to sell the original owner to someone else as a child bride in exchange for an official position.
It was one thing to send the original owner to a big family as a child bride, but even if she suffered a little, she would be more precious and dignified than this family. Unfortunately...
Bai Ling'er's long lashes fluttered. She opened her eyes and looked into the hall.
Her so-called Eldest Uncle was sitting in the hall in splendid clothes, drinking tea, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him. He was noble and gentle. However, his slightly blinking eyes, like his Eldest Aunt, betrayed his nervousness.
This couple was truly the best in the world.
The original owner knew the truth, refused to be sold, and wanted to expose them in front of her mother. The two people were so cruel that they pushed the thin original owner down the steps and fell to the ground, bleeding. Only then did they have her time-travel.
"Ling'er, mom's baby, you, you're finally awake..."
The man who was holding her in his arms found that she was sober and cried out happily.
Bai Ling'er looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman's face full of concern. That person's facial features were very delicate, and his skin was still white and clean, but he was too tired and haggard.
Thinking of the protection of this person before, Bai Ling'er called out, "Mother!"
When Madame Wu saw that Bai Ling'er had woken up, she immediately shouted arrogantly,
"Third Brother, don't be so shameless! Third Brother broke his leg, but you still want to treat him? He has spent a lot of money on his parents. Besides, your family is a dead family. You have to save these money to make trouble."
After a pause, she walked up to her uncle and waved her handkerchief, showing off. "Your uncle is waiting for money to be used as an official. Since the Third Young Lady has woken up, hand it over quickly."
His eldest uncle seemed to have regained his previous arrogance and arrogance. He looked at the mother and daughter who fell on the ground with disgust and said impatiently, "Hurry up and take them away. My friend is still waiting outside." Upon hearing his husband's words, his eldest uncle, Bai Qiguang's mother, Mrs. Wu, immediately stood up and tried to pull Bai Ling'er, who was in the Wang family's arms.
"Don't touch my daughter. Go away." The voice of the Wang family was very sharp. Bai Ling'er could even hear her drum-like heartbeat in her arms. Obviously, she was very angry.
Mdm Wu had no scruples at all. She reached out her hand and tried to pull Bai Ling'er out. She even cursed, "What's wrong with being a child bride? If it weren't for your good timing, she wouldn't want it. It's all for your uncle's sake. Don't be ungrateful..."
In the past few days, the Wang family not only had to take care of their husband who had broken his leg, but also had to spend more family money. From time to time, their mother-in-law would make things difficult for them. They were so tired that they almost couldn't support themselves. Being pushed hard by Mdm Wu, their eyes turned black and they fell back. Bai Ling'er had been hit hard and had not recovered, so she was also brought down and rolled into the arms of the Wang family.
"Ling'er!"
The Wang family felt a slight weight in their arms. Afraid that Bai Ling'er would be taken away by their eldest sister-in-law, they immediately screamed. Before the light in front of her eyes returned, she reached out to grab it.
Just when Bai Ling'er thought that she was going to suffer in less than an hour after time-travel, an old voice sounded at the door.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Ling'er loosened her grip on her arm and fell to the ground.
Damn it!!! "Can't you give me a hint first? It's very painful to fall like this." If Bai Ling'er still had strength now, she would definitely slap the eldest aunt mercilessly.
"Father, what did I tell you the day before yesterday...?" Bai Qiguang's eyes flickered, but in the blink of an eye, he looked calm again and said in a flattering tone.
Great Elder Master Bai was still wearing a single shirt, which was quite thin when it was already autumn. It could be seen that when Bai Bao'er went to find Great Elder Master, he was still sleeping.
When Old Master Bai heard Bai Qiguang's words, there was a flash of light in his eyes. His lips trembled slightly. "Can I really be an official for you?"
Bai Qi straightened his back and looked very proud. He glanced at Bai Ling'er on the ground and immediately put away his complacency. He said in a helpless tone, "They said that as long as Ling'er leaves with them, they will definitely do me a good job."
Mr. Bai's hands were shaking. Obviously, Bai Qiguang's words gave him a great surprise, and a happy smile appeared on his face. However, when he looked at Bai Ling'er and her son on the ground, his eyes were still a little tangled.
"Sanlang's wife, you really don't want to..." Before Master Bai could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bai Qiguang.
"Father, I've brought her here. How can she be willing to do that? Besides, does Third Brother not want money for treating his legs? Third Brother, tell me, do you want Third Brother to be fine or you to be his daughter?" Bai Qiguang's tone was disdainful, as if he was sure of something.
Bai Ling'er struggled to raise her head and saw that the body of the Wang family trembled. She seemed to have not expected that others would ask her such a question. She looked at Mr. Bai in despair. She held Bai Ling'er tightly in her arms and said, "I, my Ling'er is still so young. Her grandfather, you, you..."
Feeling her despair and sadness, Bai Ling'er gently patted her on the back. Then, from the arms of the Wang family, she poked out the dark and thin little face and looked coldly at the Eldest Uncle and his wife. "My head has been broken by you and Eldest Aunt. How can I accept such a disfigured child bride?"
"This..." He didn't expect that Bai Ling'er would ask such a question. Bai Qiguang was stunned. Seeing this, Madame Wu hurriedly said, "I don't care about the face, as long as my birthday is suitable."
After that, Madame Wu looked worried again and said to the Wang family, "We don't have much money in our family. If we help Lao San to get medicine, we will have to go to the northwest. We can't let our families starve because of your family."
Obviously, Mr. Bai also thought of his family's financial situation. In order to support his eldest son Bai Qiguang to study, his family had already given up all their family's fortune. If his second son and his third son had not been working hard all the time, he would not have been able to live on those thin fields.
Now that his third son had broken his leg, the savings in his family had been almost used up.
Bai Ling'er looked at Mr. Bai's expression and knew that he was still tempted, so she snorted and said, "What? In order to let uncle study, our family can wear silk, let aunt and Qing'er wear golden hairpins, eat meat, drink hairy peaks, and drink thick and rough corn nests with me. Are you not willing to accept any grievances for your brothers?" "Before uncle and his wife come to their senses and scold her, she turned to look at Mr. Bai and said, "Grandpa, do you know why uncle's friend is willing to accept even a disfigured child bride?"
Mr. Bai shook his head.
Bai Ling'er immediately shed two lines of tears. She was black and thin, looking much younger than her age. It was very pitiful for her to cry. "Grandpa, if what Eldest Uncle said is true, Ling'er is not ignorant. She is unwilling to think about her family. It's just that Eldest Uncle wants to sell me as a sacrifice!"
As soon as she spoke, everyone in the room was stunned.
Including the other members of the Bai family who had just rushed over...
