Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

On the official road outside Fuze Village.

Two figures, one large and one small, were walking around.

Seeing his daughter stop again, Liu Shu frowned and walked over: "What's wrong with you?"

"Dad, I... there are pebbles in my shoes." Song Min took off her dirty cloth shoes and poured out the pebbles.

In fact, Song Min secretly put this pebble in while Liu Shu was not paying attention.

"Okay, hurry up."

Seeing Song Min taking his time to put on his shoes, Liu Shu scolded her lightly.

Not long after the two left, Liu Shu looked back and saw Song Min squatting down again, holding her stomach, looking uncomfortable, and raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with you?"

"Dad, I have a stomachache and want to go to the latrine." Song Min's eyes were a little evasive.

Liu Shu couldn't see Song Min's little tricks. He completely lost his patience and pulled her to stand up from the squatting position. He said: "Hold it for now. When we enter the county town, I will find a place for you to relieve yourself." of."

After saying that, he pulled Song Min forward.

"Daddy, it hurts. It hurts." Liu Shu grabbed it too hard, and the child's wrist was already tender. Song Min cried out that it hurt, and tears came out.

However, Liu Shu pretended not to hear, ignored it, and forced Song Min to move forward.

Seeing that there was no other way out, Song Min couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears: "Dad, I don't want to enter the county, don't enter the county, dad. Please, please don't sell me, I will do it in the future." I'll listen to you and never make dad angry again..."

Liu Shu paused and looked back at Song Min's pitiful appearance. He couldn't bear it in his heart, but he thought that if he kept her, he would only be a burden to himself, wasting food and selling it to a brothel to get some money. He immediately said He calmed down, but he didn't say it too directly, but said:

"Daddy won't sell you, he just takes you to a fun place, where you can have no worries about food and clothing."

"But I don't want to go there, I just want to stay with daddy."

"If you don't want to go, you have to go. It's not your fault." Liu Shu lost his last trace of patience and showed an angry face. Then no matter how much Song Min cried or struggled, Liu Shu ignored her and dragged her forward. .

"Stop." At this moment, a sharp shout came from behind.

The voice was extremely familiar. Liu Shu turned around and saw that it was really Chen Mo, and his expression froze instantly.

When Chen Mo approached and saw the knife in his hand, Liu Shu's face turned pale, and he quickly let go of Song Min, who was still crying, and said with a smile: "Brother Mo, Brother Shui, why are you here? "

Chen Mo looked at Song Min, whose eyes were swollen from crying, and her red wrists. He frowned and whispered, "Where are you going?"

"I took Min'er to the city to play." Liu Shu said.

Chen Mo looked at Song Min, who wiped his tears, nodded, and whispered: "Daddy wants to take me to the city to play."

Children cannot lie.

The deception here means that it is easy to see.

Chen Mo saw at a glance that Song Min had lied.

He took Song Min aside, then knelt down and touched Song Min's head: "Min'er, tell Brother Mo, why are you crying? Did your father bully you?"

"No, no?"

"Then why are you crying like this? Is it because your father doesn't want you anymore? Tell Brother Mo the truth. Maybe Brother Mo can help you persuade your father." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Song Min pursed her lips, murmured, and looked at Liu Shu.

Liu Shu naturally heard what Chen Mo said, and his expression suddenly panicked.

"What, your father is going to sell you!" Chen Mo put his ear close to Song Min and suddenly raised his voice.

Hearing this, Zhang He immediately kicked him over.

Zhang He had been training with Chen Mo for such a long time, and he was very strong every day. His strength was no joke, and Liu Shu was kicked to the ground.

Zhang He said viciously: "Young lady, you're still not a human being even if you sell your own daughter."

"Ahem." Liu Shu covered his chest and coughed painfully. He thought his daughter had told Chen Mo, so he immediately stopped making excuses and used the little courage he had to hold his neck and said: "I sold my own daughter. , What does it have to do with you?"

"You still dare to be aggressive." Zhang He shouted fiercely and was about to kick him again, but at this moment Song Min ran over and protected Liu Shu, saying: "Don't hit my daddy. don't want"

But Liu Shu didn't appreciate it. He didn't dare to be mean to Chen Mo and Zhang He, but he dared to say to Song Min, "Are you so obedient?"

Song Min pinched the corner of her clothes: "Dad, I didn't say anything."

"Stop." Chen Mo asked Zhang He to stop, then walked over and said, "Min'er didn't say it, I guessed it, but I didn't expect it to be true."

He came to Liu Shu and whispered: "I don't understand. I gave you food twice, and the total is enough for the two of you for two months. You don't have to worry about food and clothing. Why do you want to sell your daughter?"

Liu Shu was afraid of Chen Mo's power and remained silent.

"Damn it, Brother Mo is asking you something." Zhang He shouted.

"It's useless for me to want her. She has done everything and is a drag on me. She is a complete burden. Why can't I sell it?" After saying that, Liu Shuhe glanced at Chen Mo weakly: "I gave it to you two days ago. You don’t want it.”

"Hey, you still dare to blame Brother Mo, I bet it's reasonable for you to sell your daughter." Zhang He rolled up his sleeves.

The Song Dynasty had clear laws, and buying and selling wives and daughters was illegal.

But the law is the law, and it is very common among the people to sell wives and daughters. As long as the traffickers are not engaged in trafficking, it is also a matter of the people not to hold officials accountable.

"Dad." Liu Shu's words brought tons of hurt to Song Min's heart.

When Chen Mo heard this, he closed his eyes.

He originally thought that Liu Shu was just a lazy man, and thought that by providing them with food, Liu Shu could live well with his daughter. It was precisely because of this that he refused when Liu Shu brought his daughter to get married. .

After all, he really had no idea about a ten-year-old girl.

And because he felt guilty towards the Song family, Chen Mo couldn't bear to let a child who had suffered suffer serve him. Instead, he hoped that she could grow up and live like a child from a normal family.

But he never expected that Liu Shu, as Song Min's biological father, would actually sell his biological daughter.

After all, with his help, the Song family was not in a state of survival.

If he had known this, when Liu Shu brought Song Min over, he would not have refused.

A small gesture can make such a big difference.

This reminded him of Chen Dalin and Chen Hu.

If he had lent the grain to Chen Dalin, the latter might not have stolen fish and died.

If Chen Hu had not been killed, the Song family would not have suffered this disaster.

In such a troubled world, he felt how powerless he was.

A grain of sand of the times is like a big mountain falling on one's shoulders.
