Huang Yingying did such a shameful thing as eloping with someone, but she still asked her family to pay twenty taels of silver to save her, otherwise she would have to die with her pretty boy lover.

Everyone in the Huang family looked gloomy.

Old Mrs. Huang took the four sons of the Huang family away from the crowd to discuss this matter together.

After all, she was the daughter they had loved since she was a child, so Mr. and Mrs. Huang naturally wanted to save her.

Huang Tianbao pulled Huang Lao Da's sleeve and whispered to him that he had not yet married.

Huang Lao Er and Huang Lao San both said that they would listen to Huang Lao Tai and they had no objection.

Huang Tianwen and Huang Tianwu from the third room were unwilling to do so, but they also knew that it was useless to tell their father, so they gathered in front of Old Lady Huang and called her "Grandma, Grandma" to remind her that she had two older grandsons and that they couldn't just favor the little girl Huang Yingying.

Huang Laosi made a direct and strong statement:

"I don't agree with this. I still have to take the exam for the scholar degree. The teacher said I have a good chance this time, but there are still many things I need to take care of."

He, Huang Tianquan and Danruo from the second house. Old Mrs. Huang was resentful of what had just happened and didn't let them come to listen.

Dan Ruo watched them holding a small meeting from a distance, pulled Huang Yingying aside and whispered:

"The family is discussing whether to save you. Grandma originally agreed, but Fourth Uncle has always been reluctant.

Huang Yingying burst into tears in disbelief when she heard this. "How could Fourth Uncle want me dead? He clearly loved me so much before."

Danruo muttered seemingly casually, but Huang Yingying heard it clearly.

It turned out that Fourth Uncle had an affair with Widow Zhou in the village and had been supporting her. No wonder she said that Widow Zhou lived such a good life. She often saw her asking Bai Sheng to buy snacks.

At the same time, at the Huang family's side, the eldest brother Huang thought about how much the ginseng at home could be sold for. If it sold a lot, he would save Huang Yingying.

Boss Huang invited Old Man Li to the Huang family courtyard, measured the size of the ginseng to him, and asked him how much it was worth.

When Old Man Li saw the size, his eyes lit up and he said he could sell it to him. He had connections who could sell it and it could fetch at least two or three hundred taels of silver.

When Boss Huang heard that it was so valuable, he immediately denied it.

If the villagers knew about this valuable treasure, would my family be able to sleep peacefully?

There is only a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there is no one who guards against thieves for a thousand days.

He immediately laughed awkwardly, "Uncle Li, we don't have that thing. I just wanted to ask you so I can go up the mountain and look for it. Isn't it that my family urgently needs money?"

Old man Li stroked his beard regretfully:

"Then don't even think about it. Don't bother with that. I go to this mountain every day and have searched everywhere over the years. There's no ginseng in the mountain at all."

Boss Huang pretended to smile bitterly and nodded, but he was actually very happy.

He immediately told the situation to Old Lady Huang. Old Lady Huang admitted that she was not very knowledgeable. She had originally thought that the ginseng was only worth a few dozen taels of silver, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable.

Even Old Man Li couldn't find ginseng in the mountains, but the second girl got lucky and found it. No wonder they searched for it in the mountains for a long time today without any trace. It turned out that there was only one ginseng in the mountain, and it had been taken home by the second girl.

Boss Huang suggested that since the family immediately had two or three hundred taels of silver, it would not be excessive to spend twenty taels to save Huang Yingying.

Old Mrs. Huang agreed and immediately decided to save her. However, Huang Laosi still disagreed, so Old Mrs. Huang communicated with him alone.

Watching all this from afar, Huang Yingying's eyes were filled with fear. She knew in her heart that Huang Laosi meant more to Old Lady Huang than she did to herself.

Huang Laosi had a sullen face the whole time. In fact, Huang Laosi was a little worried that the ginseng could not be sold for so much money, so he was thinking about how to steal the ginseng and ask for the price.

Old Mrs. Huang went into the house and took out twenty taels of silver from the money she had saved and gave it to Bai Sheng. This was nearly 80% of the Huang family's savings over the years.

Dan Ruo sighed towards Huang Yingying:

"Even though you often bullied me in the past, you are still the neglected granddaughter of the Huang family. From now on, at this time every year, I will burn more paper for you."

Huang Yingying didn't want to die again just after being reborn. She still wanted to live well.

She immediately rushed to Huang Laosi and cried pitifully:

"Fourth Uncle, Widow Zhou is only after your money. I am your niece, you can't stop Grandma from saving me."

Huang Laosi's face darkened, "What nonsense are you talking about, you stupid girl?"

The villagers who heard it immediately began to talk in low voices.

No wonder Widow Zhou suddenly lived a good life this year. She knew she had an adulterer. Otherwise, how could she have made so much money with such a small piece of land?

Widow Zhou wanted to escape secretly in the crowd, but was discovered by everyone.

They surrounded her and forced her to tell them whether her adulterer was Huang Laosi.

Widow Zhou denied it again and again, but no one believed her.

Because that’s what Huang Yingying said.

Huang Laosi was troubled by his niece's stupidity. He had never seen anyone harm her own people like this.

He slapped Huang Yingying hard on the face:

"My family was planning to rescue you. Your father even went to the village chief to testify and give him money. Why are you slandering me here, just to force me to save you? Why are you trying to harm me?"

Huang Yingying was stunned, and suddenly a woman in green clothes appeared, slapped Huang Laosi in the face, and ran away crying.

Huang Laosi wanted to chase her but couldn't because there were so many people watching.

The woman in green was Xiao Cui, the granddaughter of the village chief. He treated her as a backup candidate for wife-in-law and flirted with her from time to time. If he couldn't find a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family in the city in the next two years, he would marry Xiao Cui, who was deeply in love with him.

But he was a man, and he had never married in his twenties. Seeing his brothers having wives and children, he naturally wanted women, so he secretly had an affair with Widow Zhou.
