Chapter 104 Abduction
Lian Man'er was holding a peanut basket in her hand. She looked at Lian Duoer in surprise. Lian Duoer's expression was a little stiff, and she rarely talked to Lian Man'er on his own initiative.
"Lian Man'er, I have something to come to you." Lian Duoer said.
Lian Duoer asked her for something, what would happen? She should have asked her for help. She asked her for help, but her attitude was so arrogant. Lian Duoer thought she was. Lian Man'er thought so in her heart, but ignored Lian Duoer and walked into the house. She didn't like Lian Duoer in her heart and didn't want to pay attention to her.
"Lien Man'er..." When Lian Duoer saw that Lian Man'er ignored her, she became anxious and stretched out a hand and grabbed Lian Man'er's arm.
Lian Man'er stopped and turned his head and glanced at Lian Duoer.
"Who are you calling that?"
"Lien, Sister Man'er." Lian Duoer saw Lian Man'er's expression that was not easy to mess with, and his tone became weaker. He was a little reluctant, and then he called Lian Man'er timidly.
Lian Man'er and Lian Duoer are the same age as Lian Duoer, but they are several months older than Lian Duoer. Lian Duoer should call her sister, but Lian Duoer used to have eyes on her head and looked down on Lian Man'er, a country girl in her eyes. The number of times she called Lian Man'er sister, could count it with one hand.
"Sister Man'er." Lian Duoer called out again.
"What's the matter, Duo'er?" Lian Duo'er knew that he should be humble. Lian Man'er sneered in her heart and asked.
"Sister Man'er, can you help me?"
"It depends on what's going on?" Lian Man'er said. She was really curious. What kind of help does Lian Duoer want her to help.
Lian Duoer didn't say it immediately. Instead, she glanced around.
"Sister Man'er, let's go to the backyard and talk."
Even if my family has a large population and want to talk behind my back, I can only go to the backyard, which is large. Usually, no one will go there if it’s okay.
"What can't be said here?" Lian Man'er said strangely.
"Sister Man'er. I beg you..." Lian Duoer said anxiously. His eyes glanced up to the west room, as if he was afraid of being seen by Gu and the others.
The same daughter born by Gu, Lian Duoer and Lian Huaer have different personalities. According to the local dialect in the countryside, Lian Duoer's mouth is a little hard, unlike Gu and Lian Huaer, whose mouth is very sweet. If they are willing, they can praise you to the sky. Lian Duoer will not speak and coax people, and it is a word of asking for help. It is difficult for her to speak.
"You go there first, I'll send the peanuts to the house. I'll go find you." Lian Man'er said.
"Sister Man'er, you must come." Lian Duoer begged again.
"I'm afraid I'll lie to you for this matter." Lian Man'er said.
Lian Duoer then turned around and walked slowly towards the backyard with her small feet.
Lian Man'er walked into the house and put down the peanut basket.
Mrs. Zhang sat on the kang and was sewing clothes under the window.
"Man'er, come and try it. I can change whether this dress fits well or not." Zhang called out when he saw Lian Man'er coming in.
Zhang's hand was a set of autumn-colored shirt and skirt, which had been sewn almost all the time.
Lian Man'er quickly washed his hands, took off his shoes and put on the kang, took off the shirt outside, and with Zhang's help, he put on the newly sewn skirt. Zhang's craftsmanship is very good, and the skirt is sewn very well, but the skirt and shirt are a little longer.
"My second sister looks so good when she wears new clothes." Xiaoqi came in from outside and clapped her hands.
Zhang looked carefully up and down and marked the two places to be modified with needles and threads, which made Lian Man'er take off her clothes.
"Just put this in a little more nest. When you grow taller next year, you can still wear it out." Zhang said.
It is not easy for farmers to make new clothes, especially children who grow up quickly. If they can wear clothes, in just one year, the clothes will become smaller and thin and cannot be worn. Therefore, farmers usually make clothes like Zhang when making clothes, and they will go in more nests next to them. When the children grow taller, they will put out the materials they have in them, and they can wear them for another one or two years.
"I was outside just now, was Duoer coming to find you?" Zhang picked up the needle again, then remembered to ask.
Only then did Lian Man'er remember that she promised Lian Duoer to go to the backyard to find her. As a girl, who doesn't like beautiful new clothes, Lian Man'er didn't take Lian Duoer's words too seriously. She also tried new clothes and forgot Lian Duoer to the bottom of her mind.
"Well, she said she would ask me for help if she had something to do." Lian Man'er said to Zhang.
"What can Duoer ask you to help?" Zhang felt a little strange.
"I can't think of it either." Lian Man'er shook her head, "She seemed to be afraid that someone would know. I'll listen to it and see what it was."
Lian Man'er put on her old clothes and got off the kang.
"Sister, I'll accompany you." Xiao Qi said.
"I'll go by myself, you can talk to my mother." Lian Man'er didn't let Xiaoqi follow her. Lian Duo'er looked like she was really troubled, and it was inconvenient to say something in front of others. If Xiaoqi followed her, Lian Duo'er wouldn't say it. Well, Lian Man'er was still very curious about what happened to Lian Duo'er.
Lian Man'er went up the room, walked through the outer room, and into the backyard. In the backyard, there were only cabbage and spinach, as well as radish on the vegetable bed stems, and other places were bare. Now approaching the evening, the coolness in the wind had obviously smelled of late autumn.
Lian Duoer stood next to the spinach vegetable bed, as if waiting a little anxious. When he saw Lian Man'er coming, the anger in his eyes was not hidden.
"Why did you come? I've been waiting for a long time." Lian Duoer complained at Lian Man'er.
Lian Man'er was amused in her heart. She didn't know how Duoer developed her arrogant temper. After losing these days, there seemed to be no change.
"Duoer, where are you talking to me in this tone?" Lian Man'er didn't want to be as knowledgeable as Lian Duoer, but he also wanted to let Lian Duoer understand some basic rules.
"Me?" Lian Duoer then remembered that Lian Man'er was no longer the weak Lian Man'er used to be, and she had something to ask Lian Man'er for something. "Sister Man'er, you are here."
Lian Man'er looked at Lian Duoer's awkward look and felt funny. Then she said, "I have a lot of work to do, but you don't know."
Lian Duoer's eyes fell on Lian Man'er's feet. Lian Man'er had big feet, and he had worked hard since he was a child, and he also did rough work in the future. She was different. She had wrapped her feet since she was a child and raised like the girls from the rich families in the city. It was because she had small feet that Brother Qian saved her and treated her as a treasure, and did not let her work. If it were Lian Man'er, she would definitely have to cook, just like a thick girl.
She was born with a noble life, and Lian Man'er was born with a low life. Why did she care about Lian Man'er? Thinking of this, Lian Duoer's anger calmed down, and looking at Lian Man'er's expression, she felt a little disdainful.
Lian Man'er took the change of Lian Duoer's expression in his eyes. She guessed that Lian Duoer was proud of her little feet and looked down on her big feet. How could she think that Lian Duoer was thinking of the peddler at this time. Lian Man'er didn't think there was anything wrong with big feet, but was very grateful that she didn't care about Lian Duoer's disdain.
"Duoer, if you have anything to do, tell me quickly." Lian Man'er said.
"Sister Man'er, will you go to the market tomorrow?" Lian Duoer asked.
"Go." Lian Man'er nodded, "Do you have something to bring?"
"No." Lian Duoer shook his head, looked around and then confirmed that there was no one else around, so he lowered his voice and said, "Sister Man'er, I beg you to send me a few words..."
"Ah?" Lian Man'er was puzzled, "Who will I send a message to?"
"Give me brother money." Lian Duoer said.
"Brother Qian, which brother Qian?" Lian Man'er asked.
"That's it, that big brother Qian." A red glow appeared on Lian Duoer's face.
"Are you talking about mercenary money?" Lian Man'er was really surprised now.
"Sister Man'er, whisper, don't let people hear it." Lian Duoer said hurriedly.
Lian Man'er couldn't help but look at Lian Duoer up and down again.
Lian Duoer's face turned even redder.
"I know what you are thinking. You all think Brother Qian bullied me." When talking about bullying, Lian Duoer bit her lip. After she came back, Gu took off all her clothes and checked her body in this and that way. That kind of humiliation once again came to her heart. "Brother Qian is not that kind of person, he treats me very well."
Lian Man'er nodded. She really wanted to know how Qian peddler was good to Lian Duo'er, which made Lian Duo'er still think about him now, but she refused to say a word to help Qian peddler excuse him.
"...I'm very scared. If I don't run away, Sister Hua'er will definitely beat me to death, or my mother will beat me to death. I just walked out the door like that, and none of you saw me." Lian Duoer said, and started crying again.
Everyone was busy with Lian Huaer that day, and they really ignored Lian Duoer.
"...I can't walk and I met Brother Qian."
"How did you tell him that you are a child bride?"
"I want to say that I ran out of my house, and he will definitely send me home... Isn't the child bride very pitiful? You won't be willing to do it at that time." Lian Duoer said.
Even Duoer is only ten years old. In her perception, child brides are the most pitiful. It is hard to make up such words for her and cheat the peddler.
"...I originally wanted to go to the town, that was my home. As a result, Brother Qian lived in the house we used to live in, and God was helping me." Lian Duoer continued, "... Brother Qian asked me to sleep in the bed, he slept on the box himself, and I didn't have to do anything. Every day, I sold it for money to buy delicious food for me... No one treats me better than Brother Qian."
Lian Duoer seemed to be immersed in some beautiful memories, with a sweet expression on her face. She kept these many words in her heart, and could not say to Gu, nor to Lian Huaer or Jiang, and to Lian Man'er today.
Lian Man'er felt like she was struck by lightning, and she was a little stunned. Did she understand Lian Duoer's expression and tone wrongly? It's just a little girl who is only ten years old, or is it that all the little girls nowadays are so precocious.
"Lien Duoer, you, you won't be..." You'll fall in love with that peddler!
