Huang Wanshu said as a matter of course: "Don't we still have you? If I hadn't given it to you, would you have gotten such a good marriage with the Zheng family? You promised me that you would help me raise the child, you can't go back on your word."

Huang Wanzhen nodded seriously. "Well, my mother and I did say that as long as your child has the surname Huang, we will help you raise him. However, we can only provide food and clothing. As for everything else, your biological parents will have to take care of it."

Huang Wanshu smiled brightly after hearing her words and said, "Okay, then we have to find someone to prepare the food and clothes. Twenty dollars is not too much to ask someone to buy things for us."

Huang Wanzhen rolled her eyes. "Why not just let Xiuqing do it? You should also learn to lend a hand. The Huang family has fallen on hard times. Do you still want to be the eldest daughter who doesn't have to do housework like before?"

Huang Wanshu's face suddenly fell. "You only give me ten yuan a month. Is that enough to support three people? I would have sold Xiuqing a long time ago."

This time, before Huang Wanzhen could say anything, Mrs. Huang Dong started yelling, "You sold Xiuqing? When you left, I let you take everything in the house with you, and I even stuffed you with a lot of silver. A few days ago, I gave you another thousand dollars, so how could it not be enough?"

Huang Wanshu said unhappily, "Mom, you've never lived outside, so you don't know how hard it is. Take renting a house, for example. We share a small courtyard with another family, and the rent is seven yuan a month. The remaining three yuan is not enough for food and clothing."

Huang Dong pointed at her angrily, "Don't treat me like a fool. You have the best food and clothing in the mansion. You have more jewelry than your sister. The silver I gave you is also more than your sister's. How could you come to the point of selling Xiuqing? She is the only blood left by my wet nurse. I couldn't even bear to give her to your sister, but I gave her to you, and you treat her so badly. Tell me! Where did I sell Xiuqing to?"

Huang Wanshu said stubbornly, "I don't need to buy clothes and daily necessities separately. Ah Xiang needs them. If you recruit him, I have to spend money to buy them for him."

Huang Wanzhen glanced at Ah Xiang coldly, "When you got married, my mother bought all the things for my brother-in-law. Are you treating me and my mother like three-year-old children?"

Huang Wanshu glared at Huang Wanzhen in shame and anger and said, "What do you know? I'm in such a state now, and it's all because of you and mother. I have to supplement the family expenses every month. How many years can that money last?"

"I've never heard of a couple not working after getting married and just waiting to eat up all the money they have. Yes, you were married into the family and sacrificed for the family, but it's impossible for you to do nothing in your next life and let your family support you for the rest of your life? And support your children and your man at the same time?" Huang Wanzhen really couldn't understand what Huang Wanshu was thinking.

"If you regret it and don't want to marry into your family, I will raise you and the baby in your belly. After you give birth to the baby, I will help you get a divorce in the newspaper, and you can marry someone else. No one will stop me."

Huang Wanshu was so angry at Huang Wanzhen's shameless words that she trembled. "Are you talking like a human being? I'm your sister, and you actually want me to divorce you? You might as well just kill me with that knife. And kill your nephew as well, so that the Huang family will have no descendants. That's your goal, right? Huang Wanzhen, you're really vicious."

"With your domineering personality, you will be bullied to death if you get married. You only say that you are suffering. Do you think that if I marry into the Zheng family, I will be surrounded by servants and eat delicacies every day and live a good life?" Huang Wanzhen looked at Huang Wanshu coldly. She didn't know what she thought of, and said dejectedly,

"If you have real ability and can stand in front of us, I will definitely give you the Zheng family's marriage and live a leisurely life behind you."

Huang Dongshi felt very upset when she saw her two daughters quarreling in front of her. If she could give birth to a son, her two daughters would not have to live such a miserable life.

"Alright, stop arguing. Wanshu, tell me first, where did you sell Xiuqing?" Huang Dongshi was determined not to give up until she got the answer. Her wet nurse had been the best to her, even better than her own mother, but unfortunately, she had a bad fate and only had a daughter. After the daughter got married, she had a difficult labor and gave birth to Xiuqing. Before her wet nurse died, Huang Dongshi promised to treat Xiuqing well.

"Where can it be sold? I don't know, it was Axiang who sold it." Huang Wanshu, who was just so aggressive, now avoided looking at Huang Dongshi.

Huang Wanzhen could tell at a glance that not only did she know, but also that the place where Xiuqing was sold was not a good one.

Sure enough, under Huang Dongshi's questioning, A Xiang confessed the place, which was one of the famous Eight Great Hutongs in the capital.

Huang Dongshi was so angry that her chest heaved up and down after hearing this. She reached out and pinched Huang Wanshu fiercely, "What a sin! How could I have given birth to such a heartless thing like you?"

Then, with tears in her eyes, she reached out to Huang Wanzhen. Huang Wanzhen held her hand, stood up and walked to her side, and slowly stroked her back. "Calm down, don't be anxious, and talk slowly if you have something to say."

"Go back to your uncle and ask him to go to that filthy place and buy Xiuqing back. I'll pay for it, and I won't treat your uncle unfairly." After saying this, she turned around and glanced at Ah Xiang angrily, "I don't trust others."

Huang Wanzhen patted her hand soothingly, "Okay, don't worry, I'll go back to find Zheng Yusang."

After leaving Santa Lane, Huang Wanzhen stopped a rickshaw and headed straight for the Xinmin Daily.

As a woman, she would inevitably be bullied if she went to the Eight Great Hutongs to redeem someone. As for Zheng Yusang, she couldn't rely on him. It would be better for her to consult someone she knew.

"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Huang? Are you here to see Editor Zhan? I'll take you to the office on the second floor."

As soon as I entered the hall, I met Xiao Shitou who came to collect his allowance. He greeted Huang Wanzhen warmly.

Huang Wanzhen smiled and raised her hand as a greeting, "Excuse me."

"It's not a bother. Mr. Huang is a busy man. How come you have time to come here today?" If I remember correctly, he was the one who delivered the contract to Zheng's house last time.

"Oh! Something." Huang Wanzhen was reluctant to say, and Xiao Shitou did not continue to ask. He smiled and led Huang Wanzhen to Zhan Yongwen's office.

Huang Wanzhen politely thanked Xiao Shitou, who smiled innocently and scratched his head, "Mr. Huang, we are so familiar with each other, there is no need to be so polite."

Huang Wanzhen nodded, waved to Xiao Shitou, and watched him leave.

"How is it? The operator I arranged for you is capable, right?" Zhan Yongwen joked with a smile.

"Capable, very capable." Huang Wanzhen praised with a smile on her face.

"Sit down, I'll make you some tea." Zhan Yongwen reached out to help Huang Wanzhen pull out the chair in front of the table.

Huang Wanzhen waved her hand and said, "Don't bother me. I'm not thirsty. I came here to consult you about something personal."
