Chapter 138 It’s the world that’s wrong

The mother-in-law told Zhang Fulong and others that Jinyang is a big city with a large population. Here, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Due to various reasons, many people have no choice but to abandon their children.

However, most of the abandoned babies are female babies, and very few male babies are abandoned.

The mother-in-law couldn't bear the children living on the streets waiting to die, so she took them in.

It was one or two at first, then gradually it became three, four, and five. It has been forty years now, and she can no longer remember how many children she has adopted.

There are probably eighteen hundred people if not ten thousand.

However, she is now very old, about to turn seventy, and she doesn't know how long she can hold on.

After listening to his mother-in-law's story, Zhang Fulong expressed that he wanted to go with them to see it and asked her mother-in-law if it was convenient.

Naturally, the mother-in-law would not refuse and asked Zhang Fulong to follow her.

After walking for half an hour, they came to an alley in the west of the city. There was a large flat courtyard in the alley. This flat courtyard was where the mother-in-law adopted these children.

Zhang Fulong used his spiritual consciousness to investigate. There were nearly a hundred children here, the oldest was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was still in his infancy.

In addition to the mother-in-law, there are two adults here, both women.

In other words, there are only three adults in this orphanage, including my mother-in-law.

It is very difficult to think about three adults taking care of the daily life of nearly a hundred people.

It was even harder than Gu Wanqing. Zhang Fulong really didn’t know how his mother-in-law persisted in the first place.

The moment her mother-in-law came back, one of the adults walked up to her, and without knowing whether she noticed Zhang Fulong's presence, he said, "Mother-in-law, someone from the Li family just said that they have fallen in love with Erniu. What do you think?"

"What price did they give?" The mother-in-law asked directly without any taboo against Zhang Fulong's presence.

Hearing this, Shen Ziyi's face changed drastically, and he suddenly thought to himself, this is not an orphanage, it is clearly a human trafficking.

Fortunately, he admired his mother-in-law very much, but he didn't expect her to be such a person.

Shen Ziyi wanted to stop her mother-in-law from doing this, but just when Shen Ziyi was about to speak, Zhang Fulong pressed him down and told him not to speak.

Zhang Fulong's behavior puzzled Shen Ziyi. He didn't understand why the teacher stopped him from speaking out.

Shen Ziyi raised his head and looked at Zhang Fulong. Zhang Fulong's expression was still the same, as calm as ever, as if he didn't care about this matter.

Based on Shen Ziyi's understanding of Zhang Fulong, it shouldn't be like this. There must be something hidden inside.

The adult replied: "The Li family promised to give ten shi of grain at once, and then one shi every month for two years, totaling thirty-four shi of grain."

Hearing this, the mother-in-law nodded slightly and was very satisfied with the price.

"Choose a good day and send Er Niu to the Li family's house."

"yes."

After saying that, the adult retreated and went about her business. Only the mother-in-law, Zhang Fulong, and Shen Ziyi were left here, and no other children came to disturb them.

At this time, the mother-in-law turned back to look at Zhang Fulong and said slowly: "The Taoist priest is wondering why the old woman sold the person to the Li family."

Zhang Fulong smiled slightly and said: "I know that my mother-in-law has difficulties."

"Hey~ it's the old woman who can't do anything."

The mother-in-law sighed again. At this moment, she could see that Zhang Fulong was an expert.

No one else, because all her inner thoughts were seen by Zhang Fulong.

"When the old woman was young, she would never betray the children even if she died of exhaustion.

But now, the old woman is old, and there are more and more children, and the old woman is no longer able to do what she wants.

The old woman took them up the mountain to pick wild vegetables today, but what they got back was just a drop in the bucket. They could only eat one or two meals and couldn't solve anything.

When the old woman said this, she did not mean that there were no good people in Jinyang City.

There are many good people in Jinyang City, and they often donate materials to us.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. You can't just look for help whenever you have difficulties. No matter how thick-skinned the old woman is, she can't do such a thing.

In the end, there was really no other way. The old woman lost her face and went to the big dignitaries in Jinyang City, asking them if they could give priority to the old woman when recruiting servants. As long as they liked them, they could exchange them with food, just like just now This is what the Taoist priest saw.

Some of the people who are replaced may live a good life, some may live a bad life, and some may even be beaten to death.

Taoist priest, do you think that after the old woman dies, will she go to hell and not be reincarnated after the things she has done? "

Even if Zhang Fulong guessed what she was thinking, her mother-in-law still had a long story. She told Zhang Fulong one by one what she had done.

After listening to what his mother-in-law said, Shen Ziyi was the most touched. He finally understood why Zhang Fulong stopped him from talking just now.

This matter is really not easy to evaluate.

Although my mother-in-law saved so many children, she eventually traded them away like objects.

Some people would say that my mother-in-law saved the majority of people at the expense of a small number of people. What's more, if their mother-in-law hadn't rescued them from the beginning, they would have died on the street, and they wouldn't be alive today.

Zhang Fulong was not in a hurry to answer his mother-in-law's question, but asked: "Do they hate me for exchanging them?"

Hearing Zhang Fulong's question, her mother-in-law's eyes suddenly filled with tears. She told Zhang Fulong that there used to be a boy named Xiaoliuzi who liked to make trouble. Later, he was chosen by the Sima family.

But in an accident, Xiao Liuzi accidentally bumped into the young master of the Sima family, and Xiao Liuzi was beaten to death by the young master of the Sima family.

At the last moment of his death, Xiao Liuzi sent someone to bring her a message. He said that he was in this day because of fate, and he never hated her for exchanging him for the Sima family.

It was also because of her that he lived a few more years. He could not repay her in this life, and he would repay her in the next life.

Now, Zhang Fulong also understood that the person who was beaten to death in the mouth of the mother-in-law must be Xiao Liuzi.

It was also because of Xiao Liuzi that the mother-in-law blamed herself.

Although Xiao Liuzi was not beaten to death by her, she indirectly killed him. If she hadn't sent Xiao Liuzi to the Sima family, Xiao Liuzi would not have bumped into the young master of the Sima family, nor would he have been beaten to death by the young master of the Sima family.

Therefore, the mother-in-law asked Zhang Fulong whether she would go to hell to be judged after her death.

Zhang Fulong comforted her, "Mother-in-law, it's not you who is wrong, it's the world."

If we have to calculate the cause and effect, the ones who deserve to be punished in hell are Xiao Liuzi's parents. They gave birth to a child but didn't raise it. They are scumbags.

Either don't give birth to a child, or raise it, no matter how difficult it is.

You should be like Gu Wanqing, gritting your teeth and raising your child, instead of throwing it aside and ignoring it.

For such parents, no matter how many excuses they make, it's useless.
