In this novel, the Xie family has been loyal through generations, with many sons sacrificing themselves for the country. Despite this, they are still viewed with suspicion by the emperor, who decre...
The old woman with inverted triangular eyebrows kicked away the little boy who was kneeling at her feet, desperately pulling at her trouser leg.
The little boy's clothes were covered with old and worn patches.
The old woman's thin and small body could not withstand the weight of her feet.
He was accidentally kicked to the ground.
He fell face-first to the ground, his face covered in blood!
But he seemed impervious to pain.
As if nothing had happened, she stumbled to her feet and cried out loudly into the house:
"Big sister! Wake up! Little sister is going to be sold by grandma! Waaah... Big sister, wake up!"
"Pshaw! You think you can rely on your silly older sister? She's a money-losing good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat and sleep! She can't even be sold!"
The old lady, Liu, accepted the twenty taels of silver handed over by the slave trader.
She didn't mind the mess at all and started biting right away with her teeth.
Seeing that it was real silver, he was satisfied and stuffed it into his pocket.
She got such a large sum of money for free; it's enough for her family to live on for several years.
"Alright, you've taken the money. Where's this little girl's indenture?"

The little girl looked to be only five or six years old.
Although her complexion was sallow and she was thin, her facial features were exceptionally beautiful.
With her big eyes, small mouth, and small face, she's clearly a natural beauty.
"Grandma! I'm begging you, please don't sell me! We can work and earn money! Please, please don't sell me!"
It's so noisy!
Who let their rooster out?!
