"If An'an were alright, Old Lady An would definitely not dare to go against Yuyu and Hao. But now that An'an is unable to move, I think Old Lady An might succeed."

Mengyue listened to the villagers' discussion and basically understood the whole story.

"Mom, please don't sell my Yu and Hao. I don't need medicine for my illness, and I can still work more. I'll eat less and use the money I save to help pay my uncle and nephew's tuition."

Hearing the woman's pleading voice, Mengyue knew that it was her original mother.

"Make way, make way."

Mengyue immediately pushed aside the people blocking her way and rushed into the yard, not caring about the villagers behind her who were dragged down by her and staggering around.

In the middle of the yard, a woman who looked to be in her thirties was kneeling. She was thin and had a miserable look on her face due to the hardships of life.

However, one can still see that the woman has a beautiful face. She must have been a great beauty when she was young. She is none other than Yuan Fu's biological mother, Wan Niang.

She was hugging a boy in her left hand and stretched out her left hand to try to pull the other son from her mother-in-law in front of her. The two boys were twins who were only six years old.

Wan Niang was so scared when she saw her son in her mother-in-law's arms that she burst into tears. She also cried and begged her mother-in-law to let her son go, her face full of helplessness and despair.

The old woman had a pointed face and monkey cheeks, and her whole face looked extremely mean. Not only did she not let the boy go, but she pointed at Wan Niang and cursed, "You bitch, you still have the nerve to say that? You're lazy and eat all day long, and you can't earn much money in a day, and you still want to pay the tuition for the third child. You can't afford it even if you don't eat or drink for the rest of your life. If they take the third and fourth children away, they can just give them forty taels of silver, and I won't have to worry about the tuition for the third child for two days."

"Mom, do you really disregard the mother-son relationship of so many people?"

"Xian'an is out. It looks like his leg injury is pretty serious. Otherwise, why would he stay in his room for so long after all this trouble?"

"Of course. Look at the trail of blood behind An. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I guess his life is ruined."

An didn't care that he couldn't move his legs, nor did he pay attention to the villagers' comments. He only knew that if he was any later, his two younger sons would be sold by their stepmother.

Old Lady Gua dared to beat and scold Wan Niang, but she was more patient with her stepson Gua An. After all, half of the family's money was earned by Gua An from hunting.

So, the old lady tried to act gentle and said to An, "Second brother, you know the situation at home. Your brother said he wants to go to the capital to study under a famous teacher. With the guidance of a famous teacher, he will definitely have no problem taking the exam again. If the third brother becomes the top scorer, your family will also benefit."

"Besides, you still have a son. When you're old, there will be someone to see you off. Sending Xiao San and Xiao Si away will not only give your brother enough money to become an apprentice, but the family will also save on food for two people. It's a win-win situation, and you won't find one like this even with a lantern. Okay, tell Wan Niang to stop making a fuss and let me take them away. They're waiting."

When An heard his stepmother's shameless words, he was so angry that his hands were shaking. If his leg was not broken, and he had not taken good care of himself or eaten well in the past month, and was weak and powerless, he would never have given his stepmother the opportunity to sell his son.

Wan Niang hugged her son tightly and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Don't sell my Yu and Hao! They are my flesh and blood!"

God, please open your eyes and see!
