Chapter 1 - Buying a Wife

"Quickly chase them! You guys can't even catch a little girl. You've lost everything."

Luo Mannmann suddenly felt as if her butt had been kicked by someone, and the sound of something hard hitting the ground came from her ears.

"Slut, you still dare to run? Let's see if this old lady will beat you to death if I catch you this time." His fists and feet rained down. It was so painful, so painful …

Luo Mannmann curled up on the ground in pain.

"I told you to run. If you dare to play tricks on me, I'll beat you to death."

The bystanders broke out into a flurry of discussion. "What's going on?"

"That's right, what a fierce fight. Could someone have died? Is this a thief or something?" Someone mumbled softly.

Someone saw Xiao Yiming's curiosity and whispered into his ear, "Brother, you must be from a foreign land. You don't even know Yanniang, right?

If a girl entered her Baihua House and didn't listen to her commands, she would definitely be beaten up or something like that. I think that girl just got caught running away from me, and this time I won't be able to keep my life. "

Xiao Yiming put down the carrying pole in his hand and stood in the crowd. He looked at the curled up figure on the ground.

Old mammy was indeed hateful. She did not even let such an ugly girl get away? When he thought of this, his eyebrows tightened.

It was only when the figure on the ground stopped moving that the passerby finally regained their senses and cried out in alarm, "Why are you not moving? You're not going to die, are you?"

"Aiyo, someone's going to die this time. This is going to be a big deal."

Luo Mannmann struggled to open her eyes. What entered her eyes was a group of malevolent men kicking and beating her, and an old woman covered with Rouge Water Powder s hooting, "Naughty girl, don't pretend to be dead. I know you're not dead."

Her whole body was shaking. Oh my god, what kind of place was this? What was death? She was a top student who had just graduated from the architecture department and was about to step into society to showcase her skills. How could he die?

She clearly went to find a job on the bus. It seems like she had a car accident, so she …

Could it be that she's wearing it, but it's not … But what was going on?

"Oh, you've opened your eyes. Naughty girl, your life is so tough. Someone, bring her back to me. I have plenty of time to take care of you."

Yanniang signalled with her eyes. Immediately, two strong servants came forward and dragged Luo Mannmann up. She was covered in wounds and was weak and powerless.

Xiao Yiming also didn't know what was going on with him. He had never been someone to meddle in other people's business, but the clear eyes of that woman just now made his heart tremble a little.

He suddenly threw away the two baskets on his body, and one of them went up to stop him. "Wait."

Yanniang looked at the young man in front of her. Although he was dressed in cloth, it was unable to conceal his handsome appearance. His facial features were distinct, and his body was tall and straight. He was probably in his early twenties.

"What? Where did this poor brat come from? Do you want to die?" Yanniang pulled at her old face, causing the powder to fall off quickly.

Xiao Yiming was surprised at his impulsiveness. He looked at the dying person and said, "I, I want to buy her."

"You want to buy her? This is so new. Seeing how poor you are, how much can you pay? "

Yanniang curled her lips in ridicule and circled around Xiao Yiming. With a few patches on her clothes, it was obvious that she was a pauper.

"I... This is all I have now. Big Sis, what do you think? "

Xiao Yiming took out all of his wealth, about 70% to 80% of the broken silver plus a few strings of copper coins, it was just a little more than 10 taels of silver.

This was the money he had saved during this period of time. He originally wanted to buy some furniture in the town …

Yanniang took the purse and counted it in her hand.

"You only have ten taels of silver, yet you want to buy someone?" "In your dreams, unless you can take out fifteen silver, you won't sell it for a single cent less."

"Big Sis, think about it. If you don't sell it, don't even mention killing a person on the stall, you won't be able to get a single cent. Besides, this girl is so ugly and thin, you can handle it."

Sigh, I am only happy when my head gets hot. Since Big Sis isn't selling it, then I will forget about it. "

Xiao Yiming was betting. Since it was like this, he didn't have any extra money.

Just as he was about to leave, Yanniang shouted after a moment of hesitation, "Forget it, young man. You are a real person too. Alright, I'll sell it to you." This is the Selling Contract. Take it well. Once the goods are out, there will be no return. "

Yanniang took the bag of silver pieces and gnawed on it, walking away happily.

Luo Mannmann, who was curled up on the ground, took in the whole sequence of words. While she was pondering about her current condition, a pair of large hands had propped her up. She raised her eyes to look at her savior.

His appearance was handsome and his skin was a bit wheat colored. The thick green clothes on his body couldn't cover up his heroic spirit.

This outfit looked like it belonged to an ancient man. Looking at the surrounding decorations, it looked like it belonged to a small town from ancient times.

A passerby on the street was about to leave. "Brother, you're really a good person. But what did you buy this ugly girl for?"

"I'm not buying it to be my wife right …"

Xiao Yiming smiled at the passerby, showing his white teeth as he smiled shyly at Luo Mannmann, "You, what's your name? Are you okay? Can you get up? "

Luo Mannmann struggled to her feet and said with dry lips, "I'm called Luo Mannmann …"

His whole body was in pain and he didn't have any strength.

Luo Mannmann, this name sounds nice.

Xiao Yiming seemed to know her predicament and picked her up. Luo Mannmann whispered, "You, where are you taking me?"

She was not familiar with this place, so she was afraid that she would once again enter the tiger's den after exiting the wolf's den.

"Since you've been bought by me, you'll be my wife from now on. Wife, let's go home."

Although this girl was a little bit thin and ugly, her eyes were like the stars in the sky, sparkling and moving.

Luo Mannmann was injured, so she didn't dare to move recklessly. She didn't know what was happening yet, so she decided to take one step at a time.

Xiao Yiming carried her in one hand and carried the burden on the other. He walked calmly and frankly, not afraid of being discussed by others.

When they arrived at a pork stall, Xiao Yiming put Luo Mannmann on the floor.

"Yiming, all the items have been sold out. This …" "Who is this girl?" The pork vendor asked curiously.

"This is my new daughter-in-law." Xiao Yiming revealed a mouthful of white teeth.

"How did you buy a wife like this? How can you take advantage of something like that?" The peddler frowned and looked around. He was very thin and dark. How could he take it?

The hawker could be considered to be familiar with Xiao Yiming. Xiao Yiming was famous for his poor Nanshan Village and was a bachelor. He was handsome, and many girls liked him secretly.

But the family was so poor that the girls, no matter how much they liked it, did not want to marry a pauper and suffer.

He was already over twenty years old and still hadn't gotten a wife yet, but he still had to buy a pretty one if he wanted to buy one. Unfortunately, his good looks were about to be taken care of by a pig.

"Big Brother Huang, I'm leaving first. My mother is still waiting for me to go back to eat?"

"Sigh, then you have to be careful."

Xiao Yiming pushed his cart and strode forward. He heard Luo Mannmann's stomach rumbling.

"Are you hungry? "Why didn't you tell me? Wait a moment, I'll buy you some buns." "With a grin, he disappeared."

"Sweet and delicious steamed buns …" If you pass by, don't miss it. If it's bad, it's not good. " Steamed Bun hawker shouted with all his might.

"Give me two meat buns."

"Alright."

Xiao Yiming spent three coins to buy two meat buns. He only had this string of copper coins left, so he wanted to save some money.

"Here, eat."

Luo Mannmann took the bun and felt a pang in her eyes. Why did this youth treat her so well? But she was really hungry.

He opened his mouth and took a bite. Oil dripped from the corner of his mouth.

The meat buns from ancient times were really big. They were really delicious. Luo Mannmann was probably really hungry. Luo Mannmann quickly finished them in two to three bites.

Out of town, along the country road, the mountain breeze was cool.

Luo Mannmann lay on the cart without saying a word. Looking at her clothes made from coarse cloth, she found it hard to accept.

She was definitely worn out by the soul, and he wondered what she, a dignified department beauty of the architecture department, looked like right now.

Ancient countryside, surrounded by mountains, green trees, a small winding stream down the rice fields.

It was late in the afternoon, and on the horizon, besides the colorful clouds, there was also smoke rising.

Xiao Yiming pushed the cart forward slowly. When he met his uncles and aunts who were working in the fields, they greeted him warmly.

"Yiming, I'm back from town. Aiyo, who is this woman? "What about strangers?"

Granny Liu, who was from the same village, saw it and her eyes lit up: "Yiming, it can't be that you bought a wife, right?"

Wang Er, who was also working in the field, threw the hoe a few times and asked while wiping his sweat: "Yiming, you really bought a wife, why don't you buy a pretty one, it's probably very cheap."

Nanshan Village was the poorest village in the thirteen villages. Here, there were many men and few women among the villagers, and many of the villagers who could not marry their wives all went to the village to buy their wives.

Xiao Yiming merely smiled shyly and continued pushing the cart without saying anything.

"Oh, this brat is still shy. He ignored me."

"Forget it, let's just go to Xiao Family bustling with noise and excitement another day."

Even though he had spent all his savings, Xiao Yiming was still happy. Now that he finally had a wife, he was so happy that he could walk.

Very quickly, the matter of the Xiao Family buying a wife spread throughout the village.

Xiao Yiming parked the flatbed car in the backyard and shouted happily: "Mom!"

"Oh, Yiming, you're back." Aunt Xiao opened the gate and saw Xiao Yiming carrying an unfamiliar woman.

The woman was dark and thin, thin as if from chronic malnutrition.

She curled up in her son's arms, feeling uneasy under Aunt Xiao's puzzled gaze.

Aunt Xiao glanced at him and said, "Child, where did this woman come from?"

Xiao Yiming said, "She is my wife."

"How much did you spend?" Aunt Xiao actually wanted to buy a daughter-in-law for her son, but the one in front of her was too lacking.

"Mom, it's not much. I spent 10 taels." Xiao Yiming said happily, as if he had picked up a big bargain.

That's right, all the women in the village, regardless of whether they were ugly or old, were all worth at least fifteen silvers. The person in front of him could be considered to be someone cheap.

"It's really quite cheap. Mom originally wanted you to save up some money to buy a good one."
