I almost cursed you, a middle-aged man whose wife has died, not to even think about her!
Old Mrs. Wang doesn't like Xiao Song and Xiao Lin, but she likes their conditions very much.
Zhao Tiangang felt embarrassed, but his face didn't show it. He just said stubbornly, "What are your family's conditions? If she's not good-looking, I don't want her."
"My daughter is a virgin. She just turned eighteen today. She is at the age of beauty and youth." This was the first time that Old Lady Wang praised Wang Lai Di, although it was not a good word.
Lin Xue was pulled to the window outside Old Wang's house by Song Jiayu to listen to the opera. Feeling embarrassed, she was about to leave, but was stopped by Old Lady Wang's words.
She frowned and whispered, "Why does this sound wrong?"
"Yeah, I felt uncomfortable when I first met Zhao Tiangang, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of eavesdropping on Old Wang's conversation." In fact, Song Jiayu just thought that it is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone.
"Well, we have to continue listening." Lin Xue said, still feeling embarrassed, her pretty cheeks dyed a layer of red from the sunset.
Song Jiayu was stunned. She really envied Gu Siyi. Even in the light-colored department, our Lin Xue's appearance was the best among them. She was so beautiful.
Fortunately, the big show in Lao Wang’s family was staged.
Wang Lai Di was so hungry that her stomach ached. She had just been in her three sisters' small room, teaching them to swallow their saliva when they were hungry so they wouldn't get too hungry, when her father called her out. Seeing a stranger in the house, she thought it was another person her father had been drinking with, so she ignored him and just asked Old Lady Wang, "Grandma, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Old Lady Wang pushed Wang Lai Di in front of Zhao Tiangang and said in a salesman's tone, "This is my eldest granddaughter. Look at her face and big butt. Although she's a little thin, you can tell she's capable of bearing children."
Wang Lai Di was shocked when she heard that her breasts were kissed. How could she say such things in front of a man outside?
She didn't know that something even more embarrassing was about to happen.
Zhao Tiangang's small inverted triangle eyes looked at Wang Lai Di from head to toe several times. He looked down on her because he had seen two better ones outside.
"That's it?"
He pointed at Wang Lai Di's flat chest and her paper-thin arms and legs, then added, "You're barely a greenhouse maid, but you want to be my wife? And you're asking for fifty dollars?"
Wang Lai Di was struck by a bolt of lightning. She had always thought that her grandmother's words about selling her were false, but she had no idea that what she thought was false was actually true, and that she was just going to be raised and sold for more money.
"No! Mom! Save me! I don't want to be sold!"
Wang Lai Di opened her mouth to call for help, but Wang Mao slapped her in anger and then stuffed her mouth with a piece of cloth. As for her biological mother Wu Lian, she was tied to a bench in the inner room at this moment. When she heard her eldest daughter's cry for help, she shed tears.
"Fifty yuan, buy this girl back. We won't care whether she lives or dies in the future. She can do everything from washing clothes to cooking. Fifty yuan is not expensive to buy someone to serve you."
Wang Mao spoke up. He was so anxious to sell his eldest daughter because he had gambling debts to pay off. Not only did he lose all the family savings in gambling, he also owed three hundred yuan. If he didn't pay back a little, those people would come to his house.
"Why would I want to do laundry and cooking? I want to find a beautiful wife. Your eldest daughter is just average looking, so I don't like her. Forty yuan, I'll take her away."
"No, I want fifty. If you pay me fifty, you can take it away tonight."
“…”
In the main room, the negotiation was not successful because of the price.
Outside the house, Lin Xue, who was eavesdropping, was so angry that she couldn't speak. She had been well educated since she was a child and the only word she could use to curse someone was "bastard".
Song Jiayu was lost in thought. She had witnessed the buying and selling of people with her own eyes. It would be a lie to say she wasn't angry. How could she help without revealing herself? The Wang family was such a rip-off, and she didn't want to get herself into trouble just by doing a favor.
"Don't worry, I've already solved it."
The sudden sound coming from their ears startled Song Jiayu and Lin Xue.
Looking over, it turned out to be Xu Qinghuan.
Song Jiayu had been emboldened by Lao Xu's elusive skills and quickly asked, "What did you do?"
While her heart was still beating nervously, Lin Xue also pricked up her ears to listen.
Xu Qinghuan's face was expressionless, but her eyes were fierce, and her teardrop mole looked a little weird. She said nonchalantly: "I didn't do anything special. I just untied Wu Lian who was tied up in the room, and gave her a kitchen knife from the Wang family."
“Hiss~~~~”
Song Jiayu and Lin Xue were shocked.
Song Jiayu: He is really worthy of being Lao Xu, this move is really great!
Lin Xue: Should I learn from Qinghuan and be a little more ruthless?
Two people... three of them stood at the window to listen to the opera. Because they were not satisfied with just listening, Xu Qinghuan boldly opened the window a crack. The three of them, in order of height, gathered three pairs of eyes in the crack and stared inside.
Wu Lian came out from the inner room, holding a kitchen knife in her hand. She always kept her head down, but for her daughter, she raised her head at this moment, revealing a pair of eyes full of hatred.
"Wu Lian, what are you doing? Put down the knife quickly, or I'll beat you up!" Wang Mao kept backing away, and even hid behind his mother, Old Lady Wang, not acting like a man at all.
As for Zhao Tiangang, he didn't want to lose his life here just to buy someone. He ran to the door of the main room and pulled the door. His forehead was covered in sweat, but the door couldn't be opened.
The trio who locked the door with wire from the outside: You're welcome, they just did a trivial thing.
"Wu Lian! Do you still want to kill someone? Do you dare to kill me? I am your mother-in-law!" Old Mrs. Wang stood in front of her son, her legs and feet trembling, bluffing. As long as Wu Lian put down the knife, she would beat her daughter-in-law to death.
Wu Lian... She was looking at her poor eldest daughter.
The pair of eyes that looked like hers were filled with tears, there was a slap mark on her cheek, and her body was thin and bony... God, I did something wrong, if you want to take revenge, take revenge on me, my daughters have done nothing wrong, they are so well-behaved!
"Laidi, don't be afraid. Wait until your mother takes care of your father and your grandmother. Then you can live a good life with your sisters. Please, please don't be like me, your mother, who was blind enough to fall for a man like this."
Wang Lai Di cried even harder. At this moment, she would rather be sold than die together with her mother, Wang Mao and the vicious old woman.
At the window, Xu Qinghuan sighed, "People, no matter what they do, they just want to die. Isn't it better to find a way to live?"
Song Jiayu shook her head: "Who wouldn't want to live if they could just get by?"
Lin Xue said nervously: "Should we open the door?"
"Wait, wait until Wu Lian makes the first strike!" Song Jiayu and Xu Qinghuan said in unison.
