"It's no trouble at all."
Magistrate Wen efficiently processed the transfer documents, and after everyone expressed their gratitude, they discussed the details of delivering the grain.
Uncle Fu glanced at the sky; it was already time for dinner. He said:
"Why don't you come over to my place for a bit?"
Master Hu hesitated for a moment, and Han Luoxue and Yunniang also felt it was inappropriate.
"Young Master has been thinking about you. He even said he didn't get enough of the meat skewers last time."
Uncle Fu smiled; he genuinely liked Han Luoxue, this pretty girl.
"What kind of meat skewers?"
"I asked curiously," Mr. Hu asked.
"Xue Yatou's meat skewers are absolutely delicious. Let Xue Yatou grill some more for us later."
Since Uncle Fu had said so, Han Luoxue couldn't refuse. However, Uncle Fu was only helping her out, and she didn't want him to spend any more money.
"Then I'll go buy some meat."
Han Luoxue looked around and realized that it seemed to be not far from Liu the butcher's shop.
"No need for this, we have some at home."
Han Luoxue was unwilling, and instead turned and went to Butcher Liu's shop.
...
"Waaaaah..."
Once captured again, Butcher Liu became even more ruthless and used even more tricks.
Lu Hua now walks with a limp. She thought Han Luoxue would suffer the same fate as her, but she never expected that in the end, she would be the only one to suffer.
She harbored deep hatred for the Han family.
She hated Han Luoxue even more. Although she hadn't been home long, she had understood what had happened. Her third uncle's family was much better off now; they had food.
Knowing this made her even angrier. Were they still family? They clearly had a way to help her, but they heartlessly ignored her.
Besides, Grandma didn't initially intend to sell herself; it's all Han Luoxue's fault. She's the one who should have been tormented by Butcher Liu.
Lu Hua thought bitterly, her already thin face contorted even more. She felt terrible all over, and her stomach was growling with hunger. Butcher Liu had already gone out, leaving her nothing to eat.
She struggled to her feet and made her way to the kitchen, only to find it empty.
She was so angry that her face turned black. She drank some water and felt even colder.
She tried walking a few steps and felt a little better, so she wanted to go outside and bask in the sun.
However, at that moment, she seemed to hear a familiar voice.
...
"Snowy girl, we have everything at home, you really don't need it."
Fu Bo was anxious and wanted to stop her, but Han Luoxue was unwilling.
"Butler Fu, let us buy some meat. Otherwise, we won't go."
Yunniang hurriedly advised, "Uncle Fu has gone to so much trouble today. If we let her spend more money, it would be that they are being inconsiderate."
Moreover, Uncle Fu is merely the steward of the Liu family mansion, and the Liu family mansion does not belong to him alone.
Since Yunniang insisted, Uncle Fu couldn't stop her any longer. At this moment, the group arrived at Butcher Liu's stall. With so many people together, Han Luoxue wasn't afraid of him.
"You...how did you get here?"
Business is not good now because of the famine, but people still come to buy, and he can still make a living.
He had a deep memory of Han Luoxue and Yunniang. He was captivated at first sight and thought it would be nice to have one of them. However, after being beaten up by that person, he completely gave up on the idea.
He didn't even want to think about it anymore. Two beautiful women suddenly appeared. He was excited at first, and then he was scared.
He glanced cautiously outside, his small eyes darting around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see the menacing figure.
"Butler Fu? Just tell me what you need and I'll send it to you. Why did you come all this way in person?"
Relieved, he saw an acquaintance and quickly greeted him.
"Ahem, Xue'er wants to buy some meat." Uncle Fu pointed at Han Luoxue and warned:
"A good location to choose from."
"Okay. How many do you want, young lady?"
"Butcher Liu asked politely. Han Luoxue looked at Butcher Liu, who was all smiles, and felt no fear. Although she had read about the original owner's ending, she didn't know why she felt so little fear in front of him.
"Ten pounds of this piece, please."
Butcher Liu's eyes lit up. Let alone ten jin, there aren't many people buying even one or two jin these days.
He didn't dare look at Han Luoxue too much, for fear that person would find out.
Butcher Liu quickly weighed the meat, and Han Luoxue was quite satisfied.
"Um... young lady, I won't make any advances on you, nor will I ask Luhua to bother you."
When Butcher Liu suddenly said that, Han Luoxue looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Seeing Han Luoxue looking at him, Butcher Liu flinched in fright:
"Consider this meat a gift from me to the young lady."
Han Luoxue shook her head: "No need, we're not familiar with each other."
As she spoke, she took out some silver and asked, "How much?"
"Snow Girl, give him five taels of silver."
Uncle Fu quickly replied that the price was not low.
"OK."
Han Luoxue took out the money and handed it over.
"elder sister."
With a gasp, a figure stumbled out.
Her goal was clear: Han Luoxue.
Upon hearing the voice, Han Luoxue already knew who it was. Seeing the woman running straight towards her, she calmly stepped aside.
Then……
The reeds couldn't stop him, and after a few steps, he still fell to the ground.
Han Luoxue...
Everyone...
When Butcher Liu saw the person rushing out, his brow twitched violently. That wretched woman.
His face turned ashen. He hurriedly put down his knife and rushed out, his large, iron-like hand grabbing Han Luhua's arm and lifting her up with a slight effort.
"You brat, what are you doing out here?"
That woman is really brave; she actually dared to run out.
"Sister, Aunt, save me, save me!"
Lu Hua's head was still throbbing from the fall, but she had only just regained some clarity and hurriedly called out.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Butcher Liu tried to pull Lu Hua away, but Lu Hua clung tightly to the wall with both hands and cried out loudly:
"Sister, help me!"
"I know you have food, please, save me!"
"Third Aunt, didn't you always like me the most? Please, I know you have the best heart, save me!"
Seeing Han Luhua like this, Yunniang's expression changed. Luhua was timid and introverted, but...
When her daughter was in trouble, did any of these people help her?
Even if you can't save them, wouldn't it be good to at least tell them and send a message?
Yunniang bit her lip tightly and didn't say a word.
Seeing that Yunniang remained silent, Han Luhua turned to Han Luoxue and cried out loudly:
"Sister Luoxue, save me! I was killed because of you..."
Before Luhua could finish speaking, Yunniang interrupted her, looking angrily at the crowd that had gathered around her:
"Han Luhua, what do you mean by saying she was sold for my Xue'er's sake?"
“My family separated a long time ago and has nothing to do with your Han family anymore. Whether you sell or not is your Han family’s business, and it has nothing to do with my Xue’er.”
"But Grandma originally wanted to sell it to her..."
