Chapter 53
This result is surprising. The eldest member of the family pretends to be really good. He insists that he has never seen him again, but in fact, he has already squandered his money.
Sang Cheng: "Third brother, don't cry. Our family is rich now. Let's go back and live a good life."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. Rouqing Hall gave the elder's family a lot of money."
Song Tingran didn't understand. It was not like she had never seen the elder's family before, and it didn't look like they were rich.
Chang Yuqiao did not dare to look directly into the eyes of his wife. The first time he was sold to a small restaurant in Ping'an Town was because he wanted to make a better life for his family.
During this period, the elder's family never visited him once, but when he grew up, he learned to play the piano well. People who knew the elder's family spread the news back, and they would always ask for money.
Therefore, he never saved enough money to redeem himself. Until he met Song Tingran and bought him, he had no choice.
This time, he was already married to her husband and was smuggled into a tavern. This was not his fault, but the humiliation was too unspeakable. He had no face to face Song Tingran, always thinking that he would just die. .
Today is like a dream.
"The eldest daughter of the elder family gambled, and the money she sold was used to pay off her gambling debts."
Now Song Tingran understood everything. The head of the family was really calculating and regarded Changyu Bridge as a cash cow.
"Don't worry about anything. I'll take you away. Don't contact the elder's family again. You're not a good relative."
Song Tingran spoke very softly, and she looked like a different person in her dress and temperament. Could it be that Sang Cheng was here, and he would never dare to recognize her.
With a plop, Chang Yuqiao slipped off the stool, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed with a clang.
"Third brother, what are you doing? You are still injured."
"Sang Cheng, my wife and I have something to say."
Sang Cheng stopped blocking them and walked aside without looking at them.
"Master Wife, I have no face to return to Daniu Village. Just think of me as dead."
Song Tingran was sitting on the stool. In her impression, the original owner always insulted Chang Yuqiao and would hit his hand when nothing happened. She looked down on him, but she still liked his cold appearance.
"I came here specifically for you. I won't hit or scold you anymore."
Chang Yuqiao was scared to death. In the past, whenever his wife spoke like this, she would be beaten even more severely, but he no longer cared about this. The people from Rouqing Hall were even more cruel.
"Master Wife, I am not worthy."
He buried his head deeply and floated on the ground, unwilling to get up no matter what.
"Changyuqiao, how far is this place from Daniu Village? You should know that I came all the way to find you because you are my family. We are a complete family except for you."
Chang Yuqiao suddenly raised his head, talking about his family, and burst into tears again. Sang Cheng came over in time, squatted on the ground, and talked about the changes in his family and Song Tingran's changes.
It was as if he was listening to a book from heaven, and he wondered if Sang Cheng had gone insane after being beaten.
"Chang Yuqiao, you are my husband. I can give you two ways. One is to go back to live with me, and the other is... I am willing to rescue you and give you a sum of money. You can go where you want. Life."
Changyuqiao's CPU was about to explode. He was kneeling on the ground, his whole body was in a daze.
Song Tingran was not in a hurry. Life choices are inherently difficult, let alone a major event in the rest of his life.
"Master Wife, you really don't dislike me and are you willing to take me back to Daniu Village?"
"Yes, otherwise why would I come all the way to find you? I might as well lie down at home."
Chang Yuqiao nodded and agreed to go back to Daniu Village. He felt infinitely grateful. He used to think that Song Tingran had missed his life, but now he only thinks that how could a rag like him deserve a good life? When he returns to the Song family in the future, he will Act like a cow or a horse to repay this kindness.
"That's great, third brother. I also brought you a set of clothes. My wife made them specially for you. They look good. Please put them on quickly."
Sang Cheng said this because he saw that his clothes were too shabby. Unexpectedly, he and his wife thought of going together.
"Yes, put it on, it's too obvious what you're wearing now."
Song Tingran turned around and didn't watch them change clothes. Sang Cheng helped Chang Yuqiao change clothes. He felt very distressed. Except for his face, his body was covered with various scars, and there was no good spot anywhere.
"Master Wife, it's time to change. This third brother's body is covered with scars."
Chang Yuqiao wanted to cover Sang Cheng's mouth, but he didn't have time. Song Tingran took a look, her hair was tied up, and she looked very energetic.
"Let's go."
Song Tingran pushed the door open, and no one noticed. The three of them walked downstairs generously, walked around the front hall, and finally arrived at the entrance of Rouqing Hall.
"Stop, where are you going!"
The steward of Rouqing Hall chased him out and yelled loudly. When he saw Chang Yuqiao even changed his clothes, he called a group of thugs.
When Chang Yuqiao saw these thugs, he had a habitual reaction. He squatted down and covered his head. Song Tingran was heartbroken. It would have been better if he had come earlier. She took his arm with one hand and pulled him up. , said softly: "Don't be afraid."
"I asked you why you were so generous. It turned out that you were here to deceive people. Taking it away like this is a violation of the law. You have to redeem yourself for twenty taels."
It's like a lion's mouth. It's more than four times the price it was sold for.
Song Tingran protected the two of them behind him and spoke loudly on purpose, hoping to attract people passing by.
"I think you, the Rouqing Mansion, are the ones who are breaking the law! Changyuqiao was redeemed by me from the small tavern in Ping'an Town to be my husband. You imprisoned him here and beat him like this. I don't care what you want." money."
The manager of Rouqing Pavilion frowned. She had heard Chang Yuqiao tell her about his life experience and that he was married more than once these days, but she didn't believe it. Now it seems that it might be true.
"Don't bluff me. Just say he's your husband. I bought it in black and white from his family."
After that, the steward brought the transaction receipt and showed it to the people around him. It was indeed written very clearly.
"Steward, you were also deceived. You were deceived by the elder of Shuiyue Village. If you want me to tell you, let's go to the court together and let the county magistrate make the decision and give us justice."
The manager of the Rouqing Hall was a little hesitant. It was not a big deal if the young men who were sold in fled and were beaten. If they were already married and had been registered, they would be classified as good husbands who were trafficked. This is another way of saying it.
This is an injustice to the steward.
While several people were in a stalemate, the county magistrate happened to be passing by on patrol. Seeing the commotion here, he took the initiative to send someone over to ask what was going on.
God was really helping Song Tingran, she knelt down directly on the ground, and Sang Cheng also knelt down. Only Chang Yuqiao was stunned when he saw an official for the first time, and was pulled down by Sang Cheng.
"Sir, you have to make the decision for us."
