Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan immediately stopped struggling. With red eyes, she looked at her second uncle, "Second Uncle, do you really want to make it up to me?"

Uncle Jiang: ? ? ?

compensate?

He didn't seem to have mentioned compensation, did he?

However, seeing that Jiang Wanwan's emotions had calmed down and she had stopped threatening suicide, Jiang's second uncle didn't think much of it and hurriedly said, "Yes, Wanwan, whatever you want, your second uncle will give you. Just don't think about suicide again."

Jiang Wanwan stared at her second uncle with her bright, watery eyes, moved her lips, but didn't say anything.

Uncle Jiang thought that he now had more than twenty taels of silver in his purse, so he could afford to buy whatever Jiang Wanwan wanted for her.

Thinking of this, Uncle Jiang looked at Jiang Wanwan encouragingly, "Wanwan, say it, just say it. Don't overthink it, you can have whatever you want, Uncle will give it to you."

Suddenly, Jiang Wanwan revealed eight small white teeth, "Second Uncle, I want the twenty taels of silver in your arms."

Uncle Jiang: !!!

He quickly covered his chest.

Seeing Jiang Wanwan's second uncle's reaction, she knew that she had gotten lucky and won by sheer luck.

In fact, she only knew that Uncle Jiang had ten taels of silver on him; the other ten taels of silver were just something she made up.

She guessed that when Uncle Jiang returned to find her, Liu Si would definitely try to seduce him. Since Uncle Jiang was willing to come back, the job offer couldn't tempt him anymore, so the only option would be to seduce him with money.

Based on Jiang Wanwan's understanding of her second uncle, he was greedy, loved money more than life itself, and was quick-witted. She would definitely take the money first and then run back to save her.

Uncle Jiang's first reaction was how Jiang Wanwan knew he had twenty taels of silver. She clearly only saw Liu Si give him ten taels of silver, so how did she know he had twenty taels of silver now?

Besides, that's twenty taels of silver, not twenty coins! For a poor family like theirs, that's a huge sum of money; they probably couldn't save up twenty taels of silver in their entire lives.

Uncle Jiang chuckled dryly, "Wan'er, don't joke around. Uncle will take you to get some cloth to make two sets of clothes in a little while."

Jiang Wanwan smiled.

Even a bolt of fine cotton silk would only cost 1,880 coins, enough to make ten or so outfits. You think you can just make her a couple of outfits and get rid of her? Do you think she's a fool?

Besides, these twenty taels of silver are essentially the money she received for selling herself. If she doesn't make Uncle Jiang suffer a severe loss, wouldn't the Jiang family think she's easy to fool?

What about next time? Will you use her to exchange for money again?

In short, this matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved!

"Second Uncle, those twenty taels of silver weren't your own money. You got them by selling me. I was almost raped by Wang Wu back then, so what's wrong with those twenty taels of silver being mine? Do you dare spend the money you got from selling your niece?"

If you really can't bear to part with twenty taels of silver, then I won't take it. At worst, I'll go home and tell Grandpa and Grandma about it. They'll think you did it to earn money and help ease the family's burden, so they won't blame you. They'll understand you and praise you for being filial.

And my parents, if they knew that you, Second Uncle, went so far as to send them away to find work and earn money, leaving your precious daughter alone in a room with that fat bastard Wang Wu, they wouldn't complain about you, they wouldn't fight you, they'd even praise you.”
