The one pointed at was Ye Guihua, the youngest child in the Ye family, who was only thirteen years old. She hid behind her mother, Liu, in fear.
Liu raised her head, which had been hanging low, and looked at Old Man Ye with bloodshot eyes. "Father, sell me! You can't sell my daughter!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Daniu roared, "I'll go with you!"
The man glanced at him and shook his head. "You're not worth five taels of silver."
Old Man Ye sighed and pointed to the kitchen, "You can have all this grain, just give us some more time!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Sun became so angry that she pinched Ye Erniu repeatedly, saying, "If we run out of food, the whole family will starve to death!"
Ye Erniu grimaced in pain but remained silent.
The man strode into the kitchen, looked around, and quickly came out, putting a hand on Old Man Ye's shoulder. "Grandpa, this grain isn't even worth five hundred coins. I call you grandpa, so you can't fool me."
Old Man Ye's face turned from pale to red as the man patted his shoulder lightly.
Ye Panjiu couldn't stand it any longer and walked straight up to the man.
"Give me a month, and I'll return seven taels to you. If you don't, you can do whatever you want with me."
Old Man Ye and the others all looked at her in horror.
Seven taels a month? Does she even know what she's saying?
The Ye family are all peasants; even if the whole family works hard all year, they can't save up more than three or five taels of silver.
Seven taels a month? That's just wishful thinking!
Old Man Ye pulled her behind him and hurriedly explained, "Don't listen to her nonsense, she fell into the water yesterday and damaged her brain!"
The man looked at Ye Panjiu's face and his heart stirred. This young lady was really pretty, with delicate skin. He could play with her for a month and then resell her for five taels of silver.
"Alright, I'll do as you say. Seven taels, not a penny less. We'll come back in a month! Let's go!"
After saying that, he whistled and walked out of the Ye family with his brothers around him.
Ye Erniu clenched his fists, ready to fight them, but Ye Panjiu grabbed him and shook his head.
The gate to the Ye family's courtyard was closed.
Old Man Ye looked at her with exasperation, "How could you be so foolish!"
Ye Panjiu gave a bitter smile, "Father, this debt was incurred by me, so it should be borne by me."
She can no longer go back to the modern era.
From then on, she was Ye Panjiu here.
She has to clean up the mess left behind by the original owner.
Old Man Ye hunched over and sighed painfully. He vowed that he would risk his life to protect his daughter a month from now on.
The whole family was immersed in a mournful mood, and everyone looked gloomy.
"Alright, I'm starving. Of all things, eating is the most important," Ye Panjiu said, feigning a relaxed tone.
