We've Already Split the Family, Who Will Indulge Those Ungrateful Wretches Now

Upon transmigrating, Shen Yunsheng became a peasant woman, complete with four burdens (stepchildren) + a bunch of brainless relatives.

Her in-laws are weak and incompetent, her sister-in-law ...

Chapter 53 Trap 2

Li Dashan became impatient: "Yun Sheng, stop keeping me in suspense! Tell me quickly, what's the solution? I'm really anxious right now!"

Shen Yunsheng smiled and said slowly, "Uncle Dashan, actually this solution is very simple. You can solve it by selling your assets!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dashan's eyes widened immediately: "What? You actually want me to sell my family property for a worthless piece of trash?"

Seeing that Li Dashan was angry, Shen Yunsheng smiled and explained, "Uncle Dashan, don't be angry. Selling a house sounds better than selling your daughter. I'm a kind person, and I would never advise you to sell your daughter."

Xiao Jingchuan knew that Li Dashan had already considered selling his daughter. He glanced at Li Dashan and said seriously, "Uncle Dashan, you can't fight city hall. If you still haven't raised two hundred taels in a few days, Master Huang will send people to arrest you, which may even affect your Qingyun's future."

Shen Yunsheng chuckled inwardly. To strike a snake, you must strike its vital spot. Qingyun, whom her husband mentioned, was Li Dashan's only son. Li Dashan couldn't just stand by and watch him get implicated.

Xiao Jingchuan was right; Li Dashan had indeed considered selling his daughter. The thought of the huge compensation payment made his heart ache.

After understanding Shen Yunsheng's intention, Madam Xiang immediately knelt down in front of Shen Yunsheng and pleaded, "Yunsheng, why don't you buy Hongyu? Even if we sell the house, we still can't raise two hundred taels."

After listening to his wife's words, Li Dashan also thought it was a good idea. If Shen Yunsheng hadn't been there today, Butler Huang and Matchmaker Wan wouldn't have left so easily. Maybe Shen Yunsheng really could help him resolve this breach of contract penalty.

“Yun Sheng, I think your Aunt Xiang’s idea is excellent. Why don’t you buy Hong Yu?” Li Dashan looked at Shen Yun Sheng very seriously, his eyes sparkling with expectation and longing.

He knew in his heart that his family's situation had reached a critical juncture. Without money to solve their current predicament, they might fall into an even deeper predicament. Although Shen Yunsheng wasn't rich, she was resourceful and might become their family's savior.

A cold smile appeared on Shen Yunsheng's lips, followed by a flash of disdain and mockery in his eyes.

"Uncle Dashan, are you sure you want to sell the red jade?"

“Yes, I’m sure.” Li Dashan nodded without hesitation.

Shen Yunsheng chuckled, "Alright, I'll buy it. However, I don't have that much money. I need to pay a deposit first, and I'll raise the rest when I get back."

Li Dashan hesitated for a moment, "This..."

"What, Uncle Dashan doesn't trust me?" Shen Yunsheng frowned.

"Trustworthy, trustworthy." Li Dashan waved his hand hurriedly, then discussed it with the Xiang family and decided to accept a deposit of fifty taels first.

Seeing that Li Dashan was in a hurry to sell his daughter, Xiao Jingchuan pulled his wife aside and whispered, "Wife, Uncle Dashan has been blinded by money. Don't give him too much silver."

Shen Yunsheng understood her husband's meaning; she certainly wouldn't give too much. With the thirty taels given by her sister-in-law, she could only offer sixty taels of silver, and the rest would be kept for living expenses.

After understanding his wife's thoughts, Xiao Jingchuan smiled and suggested, "Wife, we should give him a maximum of fifty taels."

Shen Yunsheng nodded in agreement. Fifty taels was quite a lot. If he took it to the human teeth market, he would only get thirty taels at most.

After discussing it with his wife, Li Dashan looked up at Shen Yunsheng and said, "Yunsheng, since you are willing to help Hongyu, give me two hundred taels of silver and I will have her sign a death contract with you. Give me fifty taels today."

Shen Yunsheng looked at Li Dashan calmly and said, "Uncle Dashan, two hundred taels is too much. I can only give you fifty taels. If you agree, we can go to the village chief's place to register and get the indenture."

"Fifty...fifty taels is too little, it's not enough to pay the penalty!" Upon hearing this number, Li Dashan's face turned extremely ugly, and his eyes were filled with disappointment.

He had expected to receive more silver, but instead received only fifty taels. This was far from what he had anticipated.

“Uncle Dashan, fifty taels is not a small amount. Although Hongyu is my best friend, we are talking business. When you sold the Qionghua, you only sold it for thirty taels.”

Shen Yunsheng felt great sympathy for Xiang Shi and Li Hongyu. If Li Hongyu hadn't been the main breadwinner of the family, she would have been sold off by Li Dashan.

Just as Li Dashan was about to speak, Li Hongyu stepped forward, grabbed Shen Yunsheng's hand, and pleaded, "Sister Yunsheng, please buy Xiaoju as well! The two of us sisters together are definitely worth more than a hundred taels."

Shen Yunsheng understood what Li Hongyu meant; she was worried that after she left, Li Dashan would sell her younger sister, Li Xiaoju.

Xiao Jingchuan and his wife exchanged a glance before smiling and saying, "Hongyu, we bought you entirely to help Uncle Dashan. Now that we have another person, where are we going to borrow money?"

“Brother Jingchuan, I…we can help you earn money. Although I hate my father and have thought about abandoning him, he is still our father. I can’t just stand by and watch him die.”

Li Hongyu pretended to wipe away tears. She didn't want to stay in this family for even a moment longer. Once she was out of this cage, she would find a way to redeem her second sister.

As for the mother, she can only stay in this house for the time being.

“Husband, let’s help Uncle Dashan out of respect for Hongyu’s filial piety.”

Shen Yunsheng gently tugged at her husband's sleeve and pleaded softly that if her father-in-law knew she had spent a lot of money to buy the Li Hongyu sisters, he would definitely cause trouble. It would be best for her husband to handle this matter.

"My wife, I also want to help Uncle Dashan, but I don't have any money."

Shen Yunsheng took her husband's hand and said coquettishly, "You usually have a lot of ideas, can you think of a solution for me?"
