Although she lived relatively smoothly here, it was just a minor incident.
After going through many things, she deeply realized that without power, she would be restricted everywhere.
She wants to climb up step by step and protect her family from being bullied.
Now that she has such a good opportunity to get to know Wu Mingde and Yu Weishi, she must seize it.
Especially after last night, when Wu Mingde figured out a new way to solve the endgame on his own, she became even more determined to help Wu Mingde.
Even if Wu Mingde lives a mediocre life in the future, his current talent can still have a great influence on the two children. No matter what, she will make a profit.
Wu Mingde, along with Wu Xiaomei and Wu Xiaodi, knelt down in front of Xie Yunjiao and kowtowed, "Benefactor, we will never forget your great kindness to us.
If I, Wu, do become successful in the future, I will definitely not forget your kindness," Wu Mingde said.
Xie Yunjiao was still not used to others kneeling and bowing to her, but she also knew that if she didn't let them do so, they would definitely think that she was dissatisfied with their sincerity and might do something even more exaggerated, so she had no choice but to accept it.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the night before Shao Yan's wedding.
Xu Jiang was eating. Looking at Shao Yan's room, which had been very quiet recently, he said, "Why did she suddenly become so quiet? Why doesn't she want to make such a fuss like usual?"
"I guess he's tired of shouting and knows it's useless to struggle," said Shao Hong.
She had no feelings for Shao Yan's daughter and wanted to strangle Shao Yan to death several times.
But Shao Yan's life was worthless and she couldn't be killed no matter what.
Now I think it's a good idea to keep her. At least if she's sold for ten taels of silver, we can have meat to eat during the New Year.
"Don't let anything happen. Don't let her run away tomorrow. If she dies, we have to return the money." Xu Jiang said.
Shao Hong's face darkened, and she felt that Xu Jiang's words made perfect sense: "I will keep a close eye on her and will not let her get away.
Raising a few pigs a year can sell for some money, but I've raised her for over ten years and even fed her, and only sold her for ten taels. That's way too cheap."
"If she wasn't pretty, she wouldn't be worth even ten taels. Just be content." Xu Jiang said.
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. That dead girl was so pretty that she was worth more than ten taels. She was sold for a full thirty taels.
Mr. Qian had long had his eyes on Shao Yan and said that any amount of money would be fine with him. He asked for thirty taels, but Mr. Qian gave it to him easily.
He felt a little regretful and wanted to spend less money.
But after returning home, he didn't want to tell that tigress Shao Hong that he sold it for thirty taels. He said he sold it for ten taels, and the remaining twenty taels were enough for him to spend many days drinking and partying outside.
When Shao Yan heard their conversation in the house, she felt like someone was stabbing her heart several times, and the pain was so severe that tears came to her eyes.
She shouldn't have had any hope in Shao Hong.
She silently took out the medicine powder Xie Yunjiao gave her and drank it with water.
The next day, when the wedding time was approaching, Shao Hong and Xu Min brought a matchmaker to put on makeup for Shao Yan. Although she was a concubine, Mr. Qian valued Shao Yan very much, so he asked the matchmaker to put on makeup for her.
But when Xi Niang saw Shao Yan's expression, she was so frightened that she took several steps back and yelled at Shao Hong, "Are you crazy? Do you want to kill me?"
Shao Hong didn't understand what was going on yet. She stopped Xi Niang and stopped her from leaving: "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
"Look for yourself!" said the matchmaker.
"Mom, it's bad, that little bitch Shao Yan's face is covered with red spots..." Xu Min was also frightened. Shao Yan's face was terribly red and swollen, and covered with red spots. She looked like...
"Could it be smallpox? Oh my god, this disease is contagious," the bridesmaid covered her mouth and nose, "I'm going to tell Mr. Qian that this marriage can't be held."
Xiniang didn't want Shao Yan's incident to ruin her reputation.
Shao Hong was also afraid, but she didn't want to spit out the money she had already earned.
She chased after her, but the bridesmaid had already escaped.
"What's going on? Don't waste time." Xu Jiang had no idea what was going on. He walked out when he heard some noise in the yard.
When he saw Shao Yan's face, he lost his composure. He suddenly thought of something and rushed towards Shao Yan, but stopped before reaching the door.
He was afraid of death, but he didn't dare to go in. If it was really smallpox, it would be fatal!
"Burn her?" Shao Hong said.
When Shao Yan, who was lying on the bed dying, heard Shao Hong's words, the last bit of attachment to her in his heart disappeared.
"No, smallpox isn't the only disease that causes red spots. Let's go see a doctor. We can't throw away the money we have already earned," said Xu Jiang.
Shao Hong also realized it. That's right! She couldn't spit out the money she had eaten.
"Yes, let's go find a doctor first to see what's wrong with that bitch. If it's just a common illness, tell Mr. Qian. At worst, we can choose another auspicious day.
Otherwise, just wait until she recovers and send her over. She'll just be a concubine anyway, there's no need to be so particular."
As soon as Shao Hong finished speaking, she heard Shao Yan say in the room: "Water..."
They all heard it, but no one paid any attention.
Not to mention that Shao Yan has become like this now, even if Shao Yan was sitting there crying thirsty and nothing happened, they would not pay any attention to her.
Xu Jiang quickly called a doctor, who was from a nearby clinic.
People in the nearby alleys would ask him for help when they had any illnesses, but it’s not that his medical skills were particularly advanced.
It’s because it’s close and the fare is cheap.
