She hoped that she would not encounter such things in the future. Otherwise, she would probably want to meddle in it again.
Zhao Yun 'er went to the market to buy some meat and vegetables.
The vegetables at home had not grown yet. She could not keep eating other people's vegetables. The cheapest vegetables she bought in Yang City only cost one copper coin. It was still very cost-effective.
After buying the vegetables, Zhao Yun 'er was ready to go back. Suddenly, there was a crowd in front of her.
Zhao Yun 'er saw that it was still early, so she went over with the mentality of watching a show.
Squeezing into the crowd, she saw a man in his twenties flirting with a girl.
The girl was only in her teens. She looked very delicate and pretty.
Beside the girl was an old man. He looked very sick.
There were a few attendants behind the man. Judging from his clothes, he should be relatively rich. But his appearance was really a little indescribable. He had a face full of pockmarks. His eyes were so small that they could not be seen. He also had a mouth full of buckteeth. His body was thin and short. At first glance, he looked very ugly.
Zhao Yun 'er asked the people who were watching the show at the side. She asked, "What happened?"
"Sigh, I heard that this old man lost money in gambling. Then, he owed this young master fifty taels of silver. Now that he can't change the money, the other party wants to capture the old man's daughter and use her to repay the debt."
Zhao Yun 'er nodded. The legal system in ancient times was not as perfect as the current one. Generally, when one owed money, it was very normal to use the family's children to repay the debt.
So it was best not to get involved in gambling. Otherwise, it was very likely that the family would be ruined.
This old man looked pitiful, but also hateful.
If it were not for his actions back then, his daughter would not be like this.
The man's subordinates lifted the girl up and looked like they were going to drag her away. The girl cried like an apricot flower in the rain. She looked very pitiful as she shouted at the old man on the ground. "Father, Father, save me."
The old man was so anxious that he began to cry. He said to the man, "Young Master Meng, when did I owe you fifty taels of silver? This old man has never gambled for so many years."
I've never gambled. I just wanted to live a good life with my little Feng 'er. But this Young Master Meng took a fancy to my little Feng' er and wanted to buy her as a concubine. I didn't agree. After all, I only have one daughter. No matter what, I can't let her suffer such grievances in the future. That's why Lord Meng framed me for losing 50 taels of silver in his bank. "
Saying that, the old man sobbed. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued, "Everyone, please help me. I don't want my daughter to be ruined like this."
After the old man finished speaking, the crowd began to discuss. Some people who knew the old man said, "Uncle Chen is a very honest man. I've never seen him gamble before. It seems that this matter is really strange."
"Does that mean that Young Master Meng used this as an excuse to steal Uncle Chen's daughter?"
"Right? Uncle Chen is so pitiful. Why don't we help him?"
