The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 14 Repercussions

That night, the two teams separated, and Sanshu Liu chased to the south. The other party had a carriage. Although a group of children dragged him down, he was still much faster than Uncle Liu who only walked on two legs.

Third Uncle Liu obviously knew this too. He only rested for one day and more than an hour before getting up to catch up. Fifth Uncle Liu who was following Uncle Liu was almost exhausted. At noon on the third day, we caught up with the Huangfang man's donkey cart.

His daughter Erniang and youngest son Liu Xing were among the twenty-three children.

Uncle Liu's lips were dry and he could barely speak. He could only kneel down and kowtow in front of the man with yellow teeth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Huang, please forgive me, I want to redeem my son and daughter."

Huang Yaren looked at Uncle Liu in surprise, and looked at his haggard appearance, almost unable to kneel, so he knew that he had rushed to catch up all night. Huang Fang frowned and said, "Who are your sons and daughters? Let me tell you, the ransom money can’t be less than the price I paid for them before, you know, they spent a lot of money on eating and drinking in the past two days.”

Seeing that the third cousin was speechless, Uncle Liu hurriedly bowed and said, "It must be, it must be, it's just that Mr. Huang, our family is poor, and it's also because the children below are ignorant, so they secretly brought younger brothers and sisters out to sell. I spent more than half of my money, you see, can you be tolerant."

When Liu Wushu said it, the Huangya people knew who they were talking about. Among the people he bought, there were three pairs of brothers and sisters, but only the pair in Qili Township was sold by his nine-year-old brother. He was still amazed, and felt that the child was so courageous that he dared to sell his younger brother and sister alone, but he only cared about buying people, but he didn't care about what happened later, and now his father was obviously catching up.

The Huangya man thought for a moment, and said: "No matter how little it is, it must be less than twelve taels, otherwise I will lose money this trip."

Fifth Uncle Liu had a sad face, and he didn't know if his family could come up with twelve taels of silver, but seeing that the man with yellow teeth was impatient, he was afraid that he would leave in anger, so he eagerly went to see third cousin.

Third Uncle Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Twelve taels is twelve taels. Master Huang might as well wait for a day. My family will soon catch up with money."

Seeing that they had nothing, Huang Fang also knew that most of them came here after hearing the news. How could the country people get so much money at once, and they had to borrow money. After thinking about it, anyway, today I couldn't go far, so I agreed to wait in the small town in front of me.

Both Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and Uncle Liu took the opportunity to ask, "Master Huang, I wonder if you can let me see my daughter and son. They are suddenly sold out, and I'm afraid they are panicking."

The Yellowfang man frowned at him.

Uncle Liu hurriedly said: "Master Huang, don't worry, I don't dare to run away. My home is in Linshan Village, Qili Township. Just ask around and you will know. What's more, you have so many people guarding you. The little one is weak in hands and feet, and has two The children can't run far, I just want to see them."

Huang Yaren frowned and agreed, and asked someone to lift the curtain of the car, and found Liu Erniang and Liu Xing from the donkey cart.

Liu Erniang and Liu Xing were thrown to the Huangya people by their elder brother. They were terrified for three days in a row, and suddenly they were taken off the donkey cart and they were even more huddled together. They looked at them in horror, but saw their father kneeling on the ground, full of grievances and fear Suddenly it turned into howling and crying, and the two children rolled and crawled into their father's arms.

Uncle Liu's face was full of tears as he held his son and daughter in his arms. The fear and anger of the past few days made this man kneel down in the middle of the road and burst into tears.

Even the yellow-toothed man, who has always been hard-hearted, couldn't help turning his head and sighing.

The children who were originally quiet in the car secretly lifted the curtain to see, with envy and jealousy in their eyes, they could only cry silently.

After their father and children had cried enough, a group of people went to the nearest small town. Uncle Liu hadn't had much rest for two days and three nights. Now that he found the child, he was in a state of wandering spirits, but his hands were tight. Holding the pair of children tightly, Liu Erniang and Liu Xing were also frightened, and they didn't feel any pain in their hands, so they cuddled tightly beside their father.

Uncle Liu was relieved when Mu Shi and Liu Dazhuang arrived with money.

Mu Shi paid twelve taels of silver to redeem them, and stayed in the town for another night. He hired a donkey cart to drive back the next day.

When Aunt Liu saw her children coming back safely, she hugged them and cried.

After Liu Yong bought books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, only five and a half taels of silver were left, and the remaining six and a half taels, five taels were given by Mu Shi, and one and a half taels were collected by each family in the clan. .

Uncle Liu promised: "I will definitely pay back all the money owed by everyone as soon as possible."

The patriarch looked at Mu Shi, the big head was on his side, and each family in the clan had issued hundreds of Wen, which was not bad.

Mu Shi said: "I'm not in a hurry for the money here, third cousin will pay it back slowly in the future."

Uncle Liu forced a smile.

The person has been rescued, so what should Liu Yong do?

After all, he is his own son, and the eldest son he has always loved. Although Liu Sanshu and his wife hated him and resented him, they couldn't help him. Shu Wanniang and Mu Shi also said that he was just a child, and he should be taught slowly.

Liu Sanshu had no choice but to beat him up, and then he was not allowed to learn how to read, and returned the books he bought to the bookstore, but the pens, inks, papers and inkstones could not be returned.

Shu Wanniang's heart was soft, so she asked Mu Shi to buy the set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones for three taels of silver, which made Liu Sanshu's family more relaxed.

What Liu Yong did this time had a great impact on the patriarch and the elders in the clan. Although he was not clever before, he had a pretty good temperament and usually took care of his younger siblings. From his delusion, the patriarch thought that it was the books that changed his temperament.

It's fine if they are rich and noble people can provide him with reading, but they are not, and he has delusions again, which changes his temperament like a demon.

That being the case, it is better not to read at the beginning, and to stay in peace for the rest of your life, than to think about things that do not belong to you. Therefore, the patriarch stipulated that the children in the clan are not allowed to read with Shu Wanniang, and even warned the parents that if they If you don't have the ability to provide your children with imperial examinations, then don't send them to read and write easily, lest they become delusional.

Therefore, even if Liu Lang and the others were Mu Yangling's cousins, they wanted to learn how to read, and they didn't dare to go to Shu Wanniang for advice.

Mu Yangling didn't dare to say that the patriarch must be wrong, but such precautions meant that the Liu family would never be able to stand out.

She is a child who grew up under the red flag. Her education and life experience since she was a child told her that knowledge can change fate. Although it may not necessarily lead to a better life, the choice will be wider. It is better than being tied to the land and being slaughtered by others. .

Liu Lang is already eleven years old, and he may start a family soon. He is a very clever child. Mu Yangling hopes that he will have one more choice after he can read and calculate.

Mu Yangling said to Liu Lang: "When the time comes, you come to me, and I will take you to the mountain notch, where the soil is very loose, and I will teach you how to read, and you can still cook pig vegetables there. My brother is there Study there."

Liu Lang's eyes were as bright as stars, "Then it's settled, I'll look for you tomorrow."

"I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow. Tomorrow my father is going to the county seat, and I want to go with him."
