Chapter 95: Selling the Daughter

"Which eye of yours saw me seducing your eldest brother?"

"I saw it with both my own eyes. You, a woman, climbed onto my eldest brother's carriage in broad daylight, and now you've even come to the pawnshop. You're trying to seduce my eldest brother, so what do you want to do?" Xie Xiuxiu said righteously.

Seeing the other party's unreasonable attitude, Liang Jinyu realized that it was futile to say anything, so she simply turned around and left.

Xie Xuanxuan didn't let her go and chased after her: "Why are you running? Are you guilty of being a thief? It's not enough that you seduced my eldest brother, you also hooked up with Brother Yan. Do you know that Brother Yan and my fourth sister are a couple!

"I've seen a lot of women like you. You're just after money, right? Don't say I didn't tell you that Brother Yan has no money. My eldest brother does have money, but he has a weird temper. He won't spend money on you. Forget about it."

"Fifth Miss." Liang Jinyu suddenly stopped.

Xie Xuanxuan didn't brake in time and bumped directly into Liang Jinyu's chest. Both of them gasped in pain.

Xie Xiaoxiao covered her nose, her cheeks flushed: "You, you, you, how do you walk?"

As he spoke, his eyes could not help but glance at Liang Jinyu's upright chest, then lowered his head to look at himself, and suddenly became even angrier: "I think you did it on purpose!"

"Whether you believe it or not, I'll say this once. I don't have any thoughts about Yan Xing or your brother. Even if I do have any thoughts one day, it has nothing to do with you. Instead of meddling in other people's business, you might as well think about your own affairs."

It is said that the Xie family had a rule that men were not allowed to enter officialdom, but they would send women to the palace or marry them to officials.

If you want to protect a family, you must make sacrifices, and the Xie family can be said to have demonstrated this to the fullest.

Xie Xiaoxiao was so angry that she clenched her fists and stamped her feet: "Shut up, what do you know?"

"Then what do you know? How much do you know about me that you dare to accuse me here?"

"I, I—"

Xie Xuanxuan was speechless for a moment, her face flushed red. She was just unhappy, so she took it out on Liang Jinyu. She didn't think so much.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Liang Jinyu ignored her.

Looking at Liang Jinyu's back as she walked away, Xie Xuanxuan regretted her lack of words and was about to chase after her when she was bumped into by someone.

She staggered and finally stood still. She turned around and opened her mouth to curse, but she only saw the figure of a wolf running away.

"Stop! You little bitch, where are you running to?" the middle-aged man cursed and chased after her with a shoulder pole on his shoulder.

Pedestrians all avoided the vehicles for fear of being affected.

Xie Xuanxuan was angry, so she followed after the girl, intending to ask her to give her a gift and apologize.

The street was crowded with people, and the little girl who had escaped was obviously unfamiliar with the city. She took many turns and ended up in a dead end alley.

The man was blocking the entrance of the alley, panting and looking ferocious.

Xie Xiuxiu curiously squeezed through the crowd and saw the man walk into the alley. Without saying a word, he slapped her in the face.

"Why are you running? Where do you want to go? I provide you with food and clothing. How have I ever let you down, huh?" The man grabbed her hair and asked harshly.

The girl was Chen Dani. She looked up stubbornly, staring at the other person unwillingly, and said angrily, "Bah, you still have the nerve to say that. You all are lazy and want me to serve you. You want me to cook and wash clothes in such a cold weather, and you beat me if I am not satisfied. If I don't run away, am I going to be tortured to death by you?"

Hearing this, Xie Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in disbelief. The little girl looked only five or six years old, but she had to do so much housework? If she didn't do it well, she would be beaten?

"You are such inhumane people!" Xie Xiaoxiao couldn't help but jump out and shouted in indignation.

The onlookers also shook their heads. After all, they were their own children. How could someone be so cruel?

Chen Dani looked up and down at Xie Xiaoxiao with her clever eyes. An idea suddenly occurred to her mind and she immediately cried out "Wow".

"Dad, please, please let me go. Grandpa and grandma beat and scold me every day, and I really can't stand it. I know my mother died early, and I'm a useless girl. If I stay at home, I will only be disliked, wuwuwu..."

Xie Xiuxiu's nose turned red when she heard this. Her mother died early, and although she had no worries about food and clothing, she had always felt lonely in her heart.

Especially after her father remarried, everyone in the family focused their attention on her stepmother and younger brother. She became a transparent person, and no one cared about her joys and sorrows.

The loneliness and helplessness once made Xie Xuanxuan give up on herself, but fortunately she still had her fourth sister.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuyu sniffed, stepped forward and said loudly: "Since none of you care about her, then let her go. She has gone through so much trouble to be reborn into your family. Now that she wants to leave, you shouldn't stop her!"

Chen Lai Fu turned around angrily, but his expression softened when he saw Xie Xuanxuan's wealth.

"Miss, you have misunderstood. My lady is very naughty. She is undisciplined at home and slacks off all day. Look at her sharp tongue, she doesn't look like someone who will take a loss. She is just young and fooling around."

Xie Xiuxiu looked at Chen Dani in disbelief, but she was very smart and immediately started crying and talking about how hardworking she was at home and how she did all the work.

Xie Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you really want to leave home?"

Chen Dani nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I think about it even in my dreams."

She thought that she had the money and could leave as soon as she found an opportunity, but she didn't know that things would be much more difficult than she thought.

Since Liang Jinyu left, all the housework fell on her.

Who knows she is only six years old!

I have to set up a stool to cook before daybreak in the morning. When the rice is ready, I have to feed the chickens and ducks before I can even take a bite. Then I have to fill my stomach with the leftovers from other people at home.

Even when hungry, I had to carry a large basket of clothes to the river to wash them. If I came back a little late, I would be scolded.

The whole family picked on her and bullied her, especially Old Deng, who became like a manic after being fired by the Zhou family. He didn't like anyone he saw.

She had nowhere to hide, and she had no idea how many whips she received, big and small.

The woman Chen Lai Fu found was not a good person either. Although she did not bully her, she took advantage of her pregnancy and did not do any work. She even had to bring foot washing water into the house for her.

Day after day, Chen Dani couldn't stand it.

So she took advantage of the fact that Chen Lai Fu came to the city to sell grain today and begged the woman to persuade Chen Lai Fu to agree to let her come with him.

She carried the twenty or so taels of silver Liang Jinyu gave her, and thought that she would be able to fly freely after leaving Yanghe Village.

Who would have known that after she had finally escaped to the city gate, she was stopped by officials, who said that as a child she had neither a household registration certificate nor a travel permit, and was not allowed to leave the city.

As a result of this commotion, Chen Lai Fu caught up with them. In a hurry, she remembered that Liang Jinyu was in the city.

But it was her first time in the city, and she had no idea where to go. After taking many detours, she ended up in a dead end.

"Okay, how much do you want? I'll buy her!" Xie Xiuxiu asked in a loud voice.

Chen Dani came to her senses and thought, I want to leave, but that doesn't mean I want to be your slave.

Isn't this just jumping from one fire pit into another?

Chen Lai Fu's mind moved when he heard this, and he looked at Xie Xiaoxiao carefully again. He had also been to the capital city and had seen what the daughters of wealthy families looked like.

The clothes and jewelry on Xie Xiaoxiao are obviously very valuable. If Dani is sold to her, it will definitely be sold for a good price.

Anyway, he was going to have a son soon, and Dani was a girl who was not obedient, so it would be less troublesome if he sold her.

"Although she is a little bit naughty, she is my daughter after all. I can't just sell her to you casually." Chen Lai Fu pretended to be embarrassed.
