life and death

Dayin people value boys over girls, and boys are much more valuable than girls for children of the same size. At the same price, he became a boy. He was so happy that he quickly put away the deed of sale and didn't let Su Qinghen leave.

Su's mother was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Su Qinghen in the face. As soon as she finished hitting her, she regretted it.

Su Qinghen covered her face that was beaten by her mother and explained with tears: "I'm a boy. I'm not afraid of suffering. My sister is a girl. She should have been pampered."

Su's mother hugged her son, distressed and angry. She cried and said anxiously, "You are a child, what do you know? Why do you think your father and I usually regard you more than Fang'er? This is the way of the world, and there is no room for my daughter's family to be promising. As long as the girl's family is popular, gentle, virtuous, and well-informed, and healthy. Your father worked hard to cultivate you, hoping that you can be promising in the future. Once you have a good time, Fang'er will naturally be able to get your light. Your father is not too seriously ill. It's just a matter of drinking a handful of lunar soup and taking good care of him. Now your father and I have no choice but to sell Fang'er. Originally, we wanted to wait for your father to take good care of ourselves. One day, we can redeem Fang'er. As long as her parents and brothers are good, Fang'er will rely on them and can't stand years of grievances. As soon as you leave, our family will have no successors. What can we do with a daughter? Whether you take the imperial examination, study medicine, or do business and farm, even if you go to the world and sell art, you can always have a way to live. Fang'er is a girl, and it's not easy to show her face. What future can she have? Once you sell yourself as a slave, your future will be ruined. Your father and I are old and in poor health. In case there are three shortcomings, I'm afraid Fang'er will be worse in the future.

Su's mother hugged her son and cried heartbroken. Su Qinghen knew that he had done something stupid, but it was too late to repent. Su's mother and Fangrong pulled Su Qinghen to leave, but their teeth were not allowed. They attracted several big men, pulled the mother and son apart, and forcibly pressed Su's mother's fingerprints on the deed of sale, and then stuffed ten taels of silver into Su's mother, and then drove Su's mother and Fangrong out.

Su Qinghen was sad and indignant when he saw that his mother and sister were bullied. He couldn't help but pull his big man and was forcibly locked in the wing room dedicated to children.

Most of these people have something to do with some powerful local figures. Su's mother, a woman, said that the sky should not work, so she had to take her daughter home and wanted to discuss with Su's father about what to do with this matter. Unexpectedly, when Su's father heard this, he was furious and fainted. He vomited a few mouthfuls of blood that night and died.

Su's mother was severely damaged and became confused. The good-hearted neighbor rushed to the tooth place, reported the mourning for Su Qinghen, and begged Su Qinghen to go home to bury Su's father first, and let Su Qinghen come back after the funeral. The human tooth was afraid of a change in the middle of the journey, so he disagreed and ordered the neighbor's uncle and aunt to be kicked out.

Su Qinghen couldn't escape and could only be anxious, but she cried and shed tears, and she couldn't get a little sympathy. The little man curled up in the dark room and broke his heart with sadness.

After about half a month, people bought enough children and took the children on the road.

The day she left her hometown, Su's mother came with Fangrong to see her son off for the last time.

Su's mother's mind has been sober. First of all, she stuffed a lot of money into her teeth and begged her to sell her son to a well-behaved large family. My son is a readable person. Maybe he can follow the young master of others as a waiter and live a relatively easy life.

For the sake of those big money, Su's mother and son talked more. Even so, a family of three can only talk through the window. Su's mother told her son to do more and talk less when he comes to the master's house in the future, so as to win the favor of the master, not attract the hatred of others, and live a comfortable life.

Although Su Qinghen was regretful and sad, he still took his mother's hand and kept urging her mother to think about it and let her mother and sister live a good life.

Su's mother said, "If your mother is not around in the future, you have to be careful and be fine. Mother will take good care of her health, and now there is only one mother to hope. As long as the three of us are fine, there will always be a time to meet in the future. As a mother, she is so weak that she can't even protect her son. Simply be rational, give up the futile struggle, keep all the strength, and try your best to keep your daughter safe for a lifetime. If God opens his eyes, he can always call a family of three to reunite.

Su Fangrong will only cry on the side.

The mother and son clenched their hands and were finally forcibly separated, and the carriage quickly drove away. Su's mother collapsed to the ground and cried bitterly. Su Fangrong chased the carriage reluctantly and shouted in the direction of Su Qinghen: "Brother, I will be obedient. I will take good care of my mother. You must come back!"

The carriage went further and further, and the figure of his mother and sister gradually became a little smaller. Finally, they were never seen again. There was only a winding road behind him. Since then, his hometown was as far away as Tianya.

The children were all sad, and the carriage was full of low and suppressed crying.

Later, Su Qinghen was sold to a completely strange north, thousands of mountains and rivers away from his hometown, and it was difficult to meet his mother and sister again.

This sad life made Xiao Yue cry. While wiping her tears, she looked at Su Qinghen, but unexpectedly found that the tears in Su Qinghen's eyes had disappeared, and the rest was only endless emptiness and indifference.

The person concerned is fine at all, but he is crying, which is simply humiliating. Xiao Yue sob and said, "You... why aren't you sad at all?"

Su Qinghen looked at her: "My tears have been crying for a long time."

Xiao Yue stared: "Nonsense, you were obviously crying at that time."

Su Qinghen looked at Xiao Yue inexplicably: "Do you really want to care about this with me?"

Xiao Yue was stunned and then closed her mouth, but her tears stopped, and she didn't feel like crying at all.

Today, we know that Su Qinghen used to be a slave. To put it bluntly, he is a cheap citizen. Such a person has no status in Dayin. Dayin is quite harsh, restrictive and strict to those who are slaves. Although there are also slaves who, because of good luck, entered the rich family as slaves, slowly climbed to a high position with their scheming and efforts, became the confidants of their families, and lived a more decent life than ordinary civilians, but that was only a very few. And it is very difficult for a bitch to get out of the family. Dayan has always paid attention to "good and cheap marriage", so the servants usually marry a maid and the steward marry a companion room. Even if the girl is matched to the master, she can only be a cheap concubine. As for actors, prostitutes, etc., their status is lower. Even if they are popular, they usually don't have a good end.

Servants and slaves, even if they turn the sky upside down in their lives, they can only look up to their masters. Even their private property is not allowed, and their children can only be slaves. Su Qinghen's future can almost be said to have been damaged by himself. As for Su's mother and Fangrong, their mother is weak and their daughter is young. Their house was burned by fire. In the year of the disaster, they have nothing to harvest. Thinking about it with their big toes, they also know that their mother will have a hard time in the future. If it is unlucky, it may have already become a begging. Of course, it may also fall into the wind and dust. In short, it is almost impossible to live a comfortable life.

Su Qinghen can actually become today's prestigious general Yunhe from the status of a slave. Xiao Yue really admires it! However, how did Su Qinghen do it? As a saying, he is not even qualified to join the army at all. Has he already redeemed himself? Otherwise, he could not have gone to Heyang County as a bodyguard six years ago and shamelessly deceived his feelings! However, self-redemption is also a slave. Become a civilian unless you make great contributions to the country! What did Su Qinghen do for the country before joining the army? Since there is no meritorious service, it can only be bought by the government at a high price. Where did Su Qinghen get the money and connections? Is it possible that he really met a good person, and the master gave him freedom and helped him get out of the home?
