Chapter 96: Never Be a Slave

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaoxiao thought to herself, it seems this father isn't so bad after all.

Chen Dani was very good at reading people's expressions. When she saw Xie Xiaoxiao's attitude soften, she immediately cried out, "Dad, how could you do this? You said this just to get more money, didn't you?"

Then he begged Xie Xiaoxiao, "Miss, don't listen to my father. He just wants to cheat you out of money."

Chen Laifu's thoughts were exposed, and his face turned pale and blue. He grabbed Chen Dani's arm in anger and said, "You stupid girl, I don't want you to be a maid. But you think of me like this. Fine, then you can go home with your father now!"

Chen Dani cried and shouted and refused to leave, with her feet firmly pressed to the ground: "I won't go back! If I go back I'll be whipped again, I won't go back, help, help!"

The father and daughter were struggling in the alley. Chen Dani's shouting attracted more and more passers-by, blocking the entrance to the alley tightly.

When Xie Xiaoxiao saw Chen Dani being dragged away, she jumped up in anxiety and said, "Let her go, and I'll give you whatever money you want. I'm the fifth daughter of the Xie family, and I'm not short of money!"

"Who? Did I hear her correctly? She said she was Miss Xie?" someone asked in disbelief.

"Xie family? Is it the Xie family of Lingzhou?"

"If that's true, it would be terrible."

The people around were in an uproar, discussing Xie Xiaoxiao's identity.

These words naturally fell into Chen Laifu's ears. He was so excited that he could not restrain himself and asked excitedly: "Are you serious? How much money is fine?"

Xie Yuyu raised her chin and said, "Of course, do you think I can't do it?"

Chen Lai Fu looked down at Chen Dani in his arms. The disgust in the other's eyes made him make a decision instantly.

This damn girl has been led astray by that bitch Liang Jinyu. She is an ungrateful bastard who can never be tamed!

"Twenty, no, fifty taels of silver!" Chen Laifu raised his hand and said, "Give me fifty taels of silver, and I'll give her to you right away."

Chen Dani couldn't help but sneer: "What kind of baby do you think you gave birth to? You're dreaming!"

"Stop talking nonsense. If Miss Xie doesn't want you, I will sell you to the kiln tomorrow!" Chen Lai Fu stopped pretending and pushed Chen Dani directly in front of Xie Xiaoxiao.

Chen Dani fell to the ground, gritting her teeth in pain. Before she could stand up, she heard Xie Xiaoxiaocai say in a loud voice, "Fifty taels is fifty taels. Come back to the inn with me and I'll have the servants give it to you."

Chen Dani secretly cursed Xie Xiaoxiao for having a problem with her brain. She couldn't even bargain, but her eyes were rolling around, thinking about how to escape.

She had money on her, so even if she couldn't leave the city for the time being, she could find an inn to stay in first. If that didn't work, she could go find Liang Jinyu.

In short, she would never be a slave to anyone!

Chen Lai Fu didn't expect Xie Yingying to agree so readily. He couldn't help but regret that he had asked for too low a price. He should have asked for eighty, no, one hundred taels!

Xie Xiuxiu never had the habit of carrying money when she went out, and usually her maids and servants paid for everything she wanted to buy. That was why she asked Chen Laifu to go back to the inn with her.

Chen Laifu roughly picked up Chen Dani and urged, "Hurry up and follow me!"

Chen Dani cursed her mother in her heart, rubbed her butt and followed the young lady from the Xie family.

"This little girl is so lucky that she can go to Xie's house."

"The amount of food that rich families spend on themselves is more than what ordinary people like us earn in our lifetime of hard work."

"She can be considered to have turned a disaster into a blessing. From now on, she will be able to live a luxurious life with Miss Xie."

The onlookers were extremely envious, and all they said was that Chen Dani was lucky.

Chen Dani sneered, what a bunch of short-sighted, feudal-minded guys, who were not good enough to be masters and actually envied being slaves!

There's really no hope!

"What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and leave!" Chen Lai Fu kicked Chen Dani while carrying a load on his shoulder.

Chen Dani almost fell flat on her face. She became so angry that she wanted to pick up a stone from the roadside and smash Chen Lai Fu to death.

...

Lee's grain store.

"Are you sure?" Liang Jinyu asked hurriedly.

The boss pointed to two bags of rice in the corner that had not yet been put away.

"Look, that's what he just picked. When I heard his name, I remembered what you told me before, so I lowered the price to the lowest. I asked all the nearby grocery stores, and he asked around, and finally came to me to sell it."

"Did he come alone?"

"There was also a little girl, about five or six years old, very thin."
