Wu Jiahong opened her eyes wide. Although she believed he would come, when she saw him running towards her with a concerned look on his face, she covered her mouth and leaned on Cheng Maixiang, tears streaming down her face.

"Jiahong, don't cry. As soon as Comrade Lin told me, I rushed here with him. Don't worry, I will never let your mother sell you out."

Yang Guoqing patted her back gently and comforted her softly.

Wu Jiahong couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears while hugging Yang Guoqing.

Lin Jiayu winked at Cheng Maixiang, who understood. She pulled Wu Jiahong away from Yang Guoqing and gently advised her, "Jiahong, don't cry just yet. Comrade Yang is here. Let's discuss how to save you."

"I discussed this with Comrade Yang on the way. I'll find someone to talk to your mother and spend a few hundred dollars to buy you. But the only requirement is that you sever all ties with your family. Are you willing to do that?" Lin Jiayu asked.

"I'm willing, but it's just a few hundred yuan, which is too much! I don't want them to get so much money for selling me!" Wu Jiahong said indignantly.

"Not much, not much," Yang Guoqing said hurriedly, "I'm the only son in the family. My parents originally prepared 500 yuan for my wedding. When they heard about this, they gave me an extra 300 yuan and told me to save you even if I spent all the money!"

Wu Jiahong burst into tears and was choked with sobs, unable to speak.

Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu looked at each other and nodded secretly. The Yang family was really a good family. When faced with such a thing, they not only did not look down on Wu Jiahong, but instead tried their best to save her. They were really worthy of her marrying.

Lin Jiayu continued, "Yes, it's a lot of money, so I'll find a reliable person in the county and have that person come forward to buy you. We should try to keep the price as low as possible. Secondly, you must keep all the evidence of the purchase process. If your mother can't find you, it's okay, but if she goes to your in-laws' house one day to make trouble, you can produce evidence and drive her away. Can you do that?"

Wu Jiahong wiped her tearful eyes and nodded heavily.

The next day at noon, Wu Jiahong returned home for lunch. After eating, he went out again without even washing the dishes.

Fang Chunlan was so angry that she was cleaning up and cursing at the same time. It seemed that since returning from the Zheng family, Wu Jiahong no longer listened to her and no longer lived according to her mood like before.

"You silly girl, you haven't even gotten married yet and you don't even take your mother seriously. Looks like I really have to find someone to marry you off quickly!"

But it is not easy to find a suitable family. The letter of introduction that Wu Jiahong got when she returned home this time is about to expire. If she cannot find a suitable family, she will have to return to the countryside.

Fang Chunlan was upset and went to the home of the barefoot doctor Wei Dahe as usual. But just as she arrived at the gate of Wei's house, she saw a group of people gathered under a few willow trees. An old lady was in the middle of them and they seemed to be chatting. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Will you pay 300 yuan to find a wife?"
