"Sell it to you?"
Wu Hunzi repeated the sentence.
His eyes were filled with surprise and confusion: "Why did you buy that little brat?"
Cheng Shanshan was getting impatient: "What do you care what I do? You just need to name a price."
"this……"
Wu Hunzi was overjoyed when he heard about the money.
He turned and whispered a few words to the guy behind him before holding out his hand: "Two hundred taels."
Cheng Shanshan frowned: "Two hundred taels?"
"Yes, my kid will look so clean and handsome after you give him a wash. I can sell him to a brothel for some money. Besides, he's very capable and can do anything. Since you want him, I'll give you a fair price." Wu Hunzi said this with a sinister look in his eyes.
Cheng Shanshan felt so disgusted she wanted to vomit!
She really didn't want to waste her breath on this man. Two hundred taels of silver was just a matter of selling some medicinal herbs to her. But just as she was about to agree, Ye Dong stepped out and said, "Wu Hunzi, I think you're crazy for money. This amount is enough to buy two nice houses."
"What!"
Wu Hunzi was dissatisfied: "What, are you jealous? The girl didn't say anything, what's it to you!"
Ye Dong wanted to continue arguing with him, but Cheng Shanshan stopped him: "Alright, if he says two hundred taels, then it's two hundred taels. But I'm talking about the buyout price. After I give it to you, you have to write a waiver, and from now on you can't have any relationship with Fourteen."
"this……"
When Wu Hunzi heard this, he hesitated for a moment.
After all, Fourteen was a useful tool for him to serve tea and water and ask for money in various ways.
But the people behind him got anxious and shoved him, saying, "This is like a windfall! What are you still hesitating for?"
"That's right, hurry up and agree! Two hundred taels of silver is enough for us to indulge in so many pleasures!"
"Otherwise, don't sell it. I have three sons at home. I'll give them all to her." As he said this, the man looked at Cheng Shanshan with a lewd expression: "Girl, why don't you take a look at the goods too?"
Hearing that someone was trying to steal the deal, Wu Hunzi was so angry that she cursed, "Get out, get out! What good are your three? Get as far away as you can." Then she looked at Cheng Shanshan and said, "Then it's settled. Give me two hundred taels of silver, and I'll sign that contract for you right away, and then get lost."
Cheng Shanshan said coldly, "I don't have that much cash on hand. You can come back to collect it tomorrow after you've written the agreement."
"Tomorrow too?"
Wu Hunzi was a little unhappy, fearing that the duck he was about to eat would fly away.
At this moment, Ye Xi, who had just come out, kicked him: "Don't be so shameless. Get lost right now, or you won't get a single tael of silver."
"...Okay, okay."
Wu Hunzi was also a sensible person.
He immediately left with his men. After he left, Ye Xi looked at Cheng Shanshan with dissatisfaction: "Do you have two hundred taels of silver now?"
Cheng Shanshan shrugged: "Of course not."
"..."
The other person was taken aback for a moment.
Then Ye Xi exploded instantly: "You didn't agree to that! This Wu scoundrel is a notorious scoundrel around here. He can make sure you never have a peaceful day!"
Ye Dong also looked at Cheng Shanshan, but unlike Ye Xi, he didn't complain. Instead, he said calmly, "Alright, I'll figure out the rest. Let's go in first."
Once inside, Ye Xi continued to complain: "Brother, our family isn't as rich as you think. You're asking for two hundred taels? What can you possibly do? You probably couldn't even sell the house."
Ye Nan and Ye Bei also felt that Cheng Shanshan had acted impulsively, but they had no right to say anything. They could only pull Ye Xi aside and say, "Alright, alright, we can't control this."
"Yes, why don't we go and clean up the house with your third and fourth sisters-in-law? We should make sure that little fourteen has a place to stay."
The Ye family members are all really nice.
While comforting the frightened Fourteen, they also tidied up a small hut for him.
Looking at that scene, Cheng Shanshan suddenly understood the meaning of "sibling affection". Such a harmonious family is truly enviable!
Of course, she wasn't idle during this time. Since she had promised to give silver, she naturally had to go into the space to prepare. Based on the twenty taels of silver she had exchanged for the medicinal herbs during the day, she selected a Ganoderma lucidum and some other medicinal herbs.
After making her choice, she looked at the weak, pitiful, and helpless Fourteenth Sister and said, "Sister has to go out for a while. You stay here and wait for me, okay?"
Fourteen bit her lip: "Sister, please don't..."
"rest assured."
Cheng Shanshan ruffled his hair and smiled gently, "I have a way." Then she left.
Watching his departing figure, Ye Xi clearly wasn't optimistic: "What if that girl runs away? How are we going to deal with Wu Hunzi tomorrow?"
"Shut up!" Liu Liu glared at him. "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all."
Ye Xi snorted coldly: "Fine, don't talk then. Let's see what you all do when she doesn't come back tomorrow."
Fourteen didn't sleep all night, just sat at the door looking on anxiously. He was actually looking forward to Cheng Shanshan's return, but at the same time, he didn't want her to come back. The conflicted feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
Ye Dong arrived at the door and looked at Fourteen: "Alright, let's eat first."
A mist filled Fourteen's eyes: "Sister, she..."
"I'm back."
Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice rang out.
Everyone looked over as Cheng Shanshan walked in, bathed in the first rays of morning light.
Fourteen hurriedly stood up, his thin and frail body trembling slightly: "Sister, you...you're back." She really was back, and he suddenly felt like crying.
"I'll try to be as fast as I can."
Cheng Shanshan said this with a hint of guilt.
She actually knew that Fourteen would definitely wait for her, and her plan was to just pretend and then come back.
Who knew that after finding a corner, I would accidentally fall asleep, and when I woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
She didn't dare waste any time and hurriedly placed the prepared medicinal herbs on the table: "I've picked some medicinal herbs, and I'd like to trouble you all to help me sell them." After all, she was an outsider, and being too conspicuous might attract unnecessary trouble.
When the Ye family saw the herbs still covered in dew, they were utterly astonished: "My goodness, are you gathering herbs or harvesting vegetables? How did you manage to gather so many?"
"There's even Ganoderma lucidum here!"
"How much silver would something this big be worth?"
Ye Dong silently put away the land deeds and house deeds he had just found before looking at Liu Liu and Ye Xi: "You two go to the pharmacy to sell them. If anyone asks, just say I picked them." After saying that, he returned the Ganoderma lucidum to Cheng Shanshan: "Those were enough for two hundred taels of silver. You can keep this for now."
