“These are my honest words. Since Second Uncle dared to gamble, he must have thought of this outcome. Since he thought of this outcome and still chose to gamble, it proves that he was willing. We can’t help you with things you are willing to do,” Song Ning said calmly.
"No, no, my father must have been deceived. Uncle, Second Sister, please, only you can save my father now, please..."
Song Ning couldn't stand it from the moment Song Sanya knelt down when she entered the door. Song Sanhai disagreed with the situation at the old house, so now he's starting to morally blackmail Song Dahai.
Even if they had money, they wouldn't spend it on an ungrateful person.
"Grandma should have a lot of money. You should ask her for it. What? Does she, as her own mother, not want to save her own son?"
"Grandmother, Grandmother has fainted, and Third Uncle, Third Uncle and Third Aunt... they all refuse to save my father."
"Isn't there your older brother? He works in town and earns a good amount every month. He can't possibly beg our family for help, can he?"
Song Sanya stopped talking, and Song Ning knew that even at this point, they didn't want to involve Song Rui.
"Heh, Song Sanya, let me ask you this: if it were my father whose hand was to be chopped off today, do you think the old mansion would offer money to ransom him?" Song Ning sneered.
"Yes, she will, she definitely will! My uncle is my grandmother's son, she will definitely do it!" Sanya suddenly raised her head and choked up.
"Do you even believe what you're saying? Whether Li Guixiang is willing or not is another matter. The first person to object will be your father. Now you've come to my father to beg for his help. Do you think the old house won't be able to come up with the money? Will they sell you off?"
Song Sanya was stunned, her face covered in tears, which she forgot to wipe away.
Neither Zhang nor Li Guixiang wanted to implicate Song Rui, fearing that if they couldn't afford it, they would have no choice but to sell their daughter.
Song Sanya was that victim.
Living in this era, many people sell their children, and Song Sanya knew that if she couldn't raise the money, she would be finished.
Knowing this outcome, they panicked and ran to find Song Dahai.
"You've come to the wrong person. Our family has no money and can't save you. You should think about how you'll save yourself if they really sell you out."
People will do anything to protect themselves. Li Guixiang has always favored boys over girls, so she definitely can't bear to part with her grandson. Instead, she's eyeing her granddaughter. In that case, Song Sanya will be the first to be targeted.
She's already said all that. Song Sanya is a smart woman. As long as she finds the right person, she'll be safe.
Knowing there was no hope with Song Dahai, Song Sanya got up and left without saying a word.
Seeing his distraught state, Liu Yuelan felt a pang of heartache: "How did things turn out like this? Why did Erhai, who was perfectly fine, go gambling?"
Song Dahai also sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but his family simply didn't have the money.
The old Song family house was in complete chaos when Li Guixiang finally woke up.
When Zhang saw that the person in charge had woken up, she wiped away her tears and quickly crawled over to the bedside, crying out, "Mother, Mother, you're awake! You must save Erhai!"
Zhang knew what kind of person her husband was, but what could she do? She would still have to rely on him for her livelihood. No matter how much of a scoundrel Song Erhai was, she still had to depend on him and didn't want anything to happen to him.
Zhang pleaded tearfully, "Mother, Mother, please save Erhai, I beg you..."
Li Guixiang knew this matter had blown up, but she couldn't abandon her son.
She sat up in bed and pointed to the cabinet by the wall: "Go, go get that little box from the cabinet."
Zhang quickly ran over, took the small box out of the cabinet, and handed it to Li Guixiang.
When Chen saw that her mother-in-law was about to save people, she immediately said, "Mother, you can't abandon us for the sake of Second Brother. Sanhai is also your own son, and there are two younger children in the family. If you give away all the money, how will we live in the future?"
Li Guixiang knew what the third family was up to, but there was no other way at the moment; they had to save people first.
Seeing that Li Guixiang was determined to give away all the money, Song Sanhai spoke up: "Mother, if you want to give away all the money, then your son will have to divide the family property."
Upon hearing this, Li Guixiang choked on her own breath and almost fainted from anger again.
"You, you...that's your second brother!"
"So what if he's my second brother? He never thought I was his brother when he did these things."
Li Guixiang was panting heavily, and Zhang Shi quickly went over to help her catch her breath: "Mother, are you alright?"
When a son wants to separate from the family, no mother can stop him. She couldn't stop Song Dahai back then, let alone this youngest son.
He divided the money in the small box into three parts, giving two parts to Zhang: "Here is five taels of silver. As for the rest, sell the two smaller ones."
Li Guixiang's words stunned Zhang Shi, as well as Song Sanhai and his wife.
They never imagined that one day their family would be reduced to selling their child.
Song Sanya, standing outside the door, heard everything that was being said inside. Sure enough, they were going to sell her.
Although life wasn't great in this family, at least she could at least get by. If she were really sold, her life would be over.
She knew the family had no other choice but to sell her, but... but why did it have to be her? Just because she wasn't a son?
The matter was settled. Although Zhang was heartbroken, she had no choice but to accept it for the sake of her husband.
Selling the child would only get you two taels of silver at most; if that wasn't enough, you'd have to borrow the rest.
In no time, the news that the Song family was going to sell their child spread throughout the village. Even the village chief cursed, "What a despicable family! Even the poorest people in the village wouldn't sell their children, but they are willing to."
"Poor Sanya, she's ruined her whole life because of that bastard father."
"That Song Erhai is a real scoundrel. He caused all this trouble and now his daughter has to clean up his mess. If you ask me, we should just chop him up!"
"Exactly, he'll be a menace if he comes back..."
The villagers all felt it was a pity, but what could they do? It was their own child, and no one could control him.
Within a few days, the Song family found a buyer, and they were going to take Sanya to town the next day to show the property to the buyer.
Before going, Song Sanya went to see Song Ning.
“I’ve thought about what you said that day. I’m not like you, with a good father, but I don’t want to be sold either.”
Song Ning smiled and said, "Then I wish you good luck."
Early the next morning, Zhang took Sanya to town.
Liu Yuelan and Song Dahai had also been preoccupied with the affairs of the old house these past few days. Watching the oxcart disappear into the distance, they asked, "Er Ya, who did you tell her to go find?"
Song Ning took a sip of porridge and smiled, "Who else can I turn to? Of course, I'll turn to her older brother, Song Rui."
