006. Lin Hou sells women

Lin Hou took Yuan Qiu to leave Linjia Village early in the morning. Seeing that it was dark and the soldiers surrounding the inn did not retreat, Lin Hou started to work, shrank his neck, stood under the eaves of a shop, staring at the clinic, and turned his head from time to time to look in the direction where the Zhao family was.

But half a day passed, and Feng, who said he wanted to help, had no movement at all.

A maid appeared at the entrance of the clinic, looked at Lin Hou, and waved to him.

When Lin Hou hesitated, two soldiers strode over, one on the left and the other on the right, and walked towards the clinic.

Fan Ao sat upright, without anger, and looked at Lin Hou who was kneeling not far away and kowtowed repeatedly. He couldn't understand for a moment. How could that rational and calm girl be the daughter of such a timid and afraid of trouble?

"Your name is Lin Hou?" Fan Ao spoke.

"Yes." Lin Hou was trembling.

"My wife is having trouble giving birth, and your daughter Lin Anran has made contributions to help deliver the baby. There is no need to be so nervous, she is alive." Fan Ao said.

Lin Hou was relieved and then heard Fan Ao's words change, "However, my wife saw that your daughter was smart and liked it very much. She wanted to keep her by her side to serve her. You can offer a price!"

Lin Hou stared at Fan Ao with wide eyes and immediately lowered his head, "Caomin...Caomin will not sell his daughter..."

"One thousand taels!" Fan Ao finished speaking and looked at Lin Hou's reaction.

The Lin family's four members spent less than ten taels of silver a year. In the village, ten taels of silver could marry a good wife. The Zhao family's betrothal gift to Yuan Qiu was fifty taels.

Lin Hou naturally knew what a thousand taels of silver meant. But he didn't want to admit it, but the fact was that he was dissatisfied with Zhao Gui and still planned to let his daughter marry into the Zhao family, just to make the Zhao family prosperous.

Seeing Lin Hou hesitating, Fan Ao's eyes fainted with a sarcasm, "Give me a correct word! If you don't want to, take your daughter home! I will not force you to sell your daughter in broad daylight!"

"Caomin...Caomin wants to go home and discuss with An Ran's mother..." Lin Hou said with a tough forehead.

"I was going to rush back to Beijing, but I couldn't delay it. If it was such a trouble, it would be fine." Fan Ao finished speaking and stood up and wanted to leave.

Lin Hou clenched his fists and loosened again, "General! Caomin... Caomin can make the decision!"

Yuan Qiu was sitting behind the screen at this moment, still in a blood-stained coarse cotton coat. Hearing Lin Hou's words, he laughed at himself.

Although it is not uncommon for this era to sell their daughters as slaves for money, and even scumbag parents who sell them to yards are not new, and a thousand taels of silver is indeed a huge wealth that can make poor peasants' families excited, because they will never make money in their entire lives. Now, nodding and at your fingertips.

If you change someone, you won’t even hesitate.

But Yuan Qiu really thought that if Lin Hou chose her, she would stay and find a way to quit the marriage, help the family become better, and give Lin Anshun a good future, and she is confident that she can do it.

But just now, the last thought was gone.

Because in the end, Lin Hou and Xiao Feng have different personalities, but they have no essential differences in their daughter.

Lin Hou was illiterate and took the document handed over by Fan Ao, lowered his head and pressed his handprint.

The document reached Fan Ao's hands, he put it aside and said coldly: "Lin Anran said she has a engagement, so you can handle it cleanly and get the marriage cancellation letter quickly!"

Lin Hou responded, walked out of the clinic with a slight pace, and trotted towards the Zhao family.

Fan Ao walked around the screen and handed the paper in his hand to Yuan Qiu, "What you want."

Lin Hou thought that the contract of selling his body was actually a letter of breaking up relations.

Yuan Qiu didn't care whether the law of this country was recognized or not. She decided to leave, and this was the freedom she wanted.

"Where did your medical skills come from?" Fan Ao asked out of his doubts.

Yuan Qiu shook his head, "Nothing can be told."

Fan Ao stopped asking and still guessed that Yuan Qiu might have a mysterious master.

"You obviously have the ability to leave that home by yourself," said Fan Ao.

"That's better." Yuan Qiu put away the document.

The Lin family wanted money, and one thousand taels of silver was enough for them to live a wealthier life than the Zhao family, and they could afford to study in Lin Anshun.

Just think that it was the last thing she took over Lin Anran's body and did for her parents and younger brother.

Since then, I have a clear conscience.

Feng saw Lin Hou again and wiped his tears and said, "Your brother-in-law went to the county. There has been no movement for the past half day, and I don't know what happened... An Ran..."

Lin Hou's face turned pale, "Sister, An'er was attracted by the general's wife and wanted her to sell herself as a slave!"

Feng widened his eyes and leaned forward, "What did you say? Sell yourself as a slave?"

"I signed the contract for sale! Otherwise, our family would lose their heads!" Lin Hou said, clenching his fists.

This is not the case. Fan Ao never forced Lin Hou to choose, but Lin Hou didn't want people to know that he was selling his daughter for money.

Feng was full of anger, "Is there no king's law in broad daylight?"

"They are nobles, we are untouchables, what they say is the king's law." Lin Hou sighed repeatedly.

Feng's death!

She knew that Lin Anran had a good background. She had a good plan and wanted to use that secret to find a prosperous future for Zhao Gui! But she never thought that she would get married in March and she would have a lot of trouble!

But Feng never dared to tell the secret, and she really didn't know the identity of the wife Lin Anran who gave birth to that year.

"Sister, I'm here. It was the general who asked him to dissolve the marriage between An'er and Agui and gave him a letter of return! Maybe he was afraid that someone would tell him in the future!" Lin Hou frowned, "Sister, please find someone to write the letter of return, I'm going to send it over!"

Originally, in a small place, it was a verbal agreement to make a doll marriage.

But when Feng insisted on asking someone to testify, he wrote the engagement document and exchanged the token.

Now, when Feng heard Lin Hou's words, he looked calm and said, "Where is there any letter of cancellation for the engagement?"

She was unwilling to give up after all, what if there was a turnaround? As long as the engagement was in place, the girl would not be able to stop at any time!

"Sister!" Lin Hou tampered his neck and raised his voice, "The general killed people without blinking. I can't get what he wants, no one can think of it!"

Feng has always been smart, so he naturally understands the advantages and disadvantages.

Unwillingly, but helpless, she had no choice but to let her account at home write a letter of departure. She and Lin Hou each pressed their handprints and handed over the engagement documents and tokens of that year.

Seeing Lin Hou leaving in a hurry with something in his arms, Feng bit his back teeth severed!

Fan Ao saw what Lin Hou gave him, waved his hand, and his subordinates gave Lin Hou a few silver notes.

"General, can you let me see An'er again?" Lin Hou asked with red eyes after he packed the silver notes.

"She will no longer be your daughter from now on. From now on, even if she sees you again, she will only be unaware of it. If she dares to bother you, she will definitely forgive her!" Fan Aohan said with a face.

At night, Lin Hou drove the ox cart and slowly left Songlin Town and returned to Linjia Village.

Xiao Feng was already anxious to wait. Lin Anshun refused to sleep after dinner, and said he wanted to wait for his sister to come back.

Hearing the movement, Xiao Feng hurriedly went out and saw Lin Hou leading the ox cart into the house alone.

"Dad, where is sister?" Lin Anshun asked with a frown.

"Go to bed quickly!" Lin Hou said in a muffled voice.

Lin Anshun refused to rely on his word and insisted on letting Lin Hou talk about where Yuan Qiu went.

Lin Hou was annoyed for a moment and grabbed Lin Anshun and beat him up twice, but he was not willing to do anything to beat him. Lin Anshun thrust and fell asleep while crying.

"Shunzi's father, what's going on? What about An'er? Are you living in my elder sister's house?" Xiao Feng was dragged to Lin Anran's room by Lin Hou.

Lin Hou closed the door, took out the silver notes from his arms, and placed them in front of Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng looked at him in disbelief, "Where does this... come from?"

Lin Hou told Xiao Feng about what happened today in a quiet voice.

Halfway through hearing this, Xiao Feng started crying. In the end, she threw herself on Lin Anran's bed, crying so hard that she was out of breath, "My miserable An'er..."

The couple did not sleep all night.
