Chapter 483 Selling Wife
Chen Zhancai was shocked. My dear, an old widow is worth ten taels of silver, so his Ruhua must be sold for even more.
He was jealous and hot-hearted, and evil thoughts kept coming out of his head.
In fact, he had already thought about selling Ruhua. He even went to Chunfenglou to ask the madam if he could return her.
The madam scolded him, saying that he was only given two taels of silver and not a penny more.
He wanted to sell Ruhua to the tyrannical butcher Li for fifty taels of silver, but he knew that butcher Li was already married.
The pawnbroker was even less reliable, saying that withered flowers and fallen willows were worthless and that he could only be given 500 coins at most.
If you think about it, Ruhua is now yellow, dark, and thin, and she is a second-hand product. It is good enough that someone wants her.
But it cost him fifty taels of silver to redeem her from Chunfeng Tower, and ten taels seemed like a huge loss.
If I don't sell it, then this woman is becoming more and more worthless, like a nagging woman all day long, always disliking me.
Since she hit me once, she has become even more aggressive recently, cursing and hitting me as soon as she opens her mouth. She is simply a tigress.
What's the point of keeping such a rebellious and evil woman?
It would be better to sell her now. Even though ten taels of silver is not much, it is still an income.
It not only solved the current dilemma, but also got rid of the control of the evil woman.
With money, I can please Liu Fengjiao. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He put on a smile and approached Wang Laowu and said,
"Brother, let me discuss something with you. Don't look for a matchmaker anymore, and don't go to Dahe Village for a blind date."
Wang Laowu was stunned. "Master Xiucai, what do you mean? I finally found a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for me. How can I just refuse to go?"
"Brother, listen to me. I have a ready-made woman in my hand. She's much better than the widow you mentioned. I don't want a gold hairpin, just ten taels of silver. I guarantee that I'll let you enter the bridal chamber tomorrow."
"There's such a good thing!" Wang Laowu's eyes widened in surprise. "Master Xiucai, whose girl are you talking about?"
Chen Zhancai chuckled shamelessly, "To be honest, that woman is my new wife. We've had a lot of unpleasant things happen lately, and we've become completely incompatible. I was thinking of selling her to a trafficker, but I didn't expect to meet you. Since you want to find a wife, why don't I give her to you? This way, I'll find a good home for her."
Wang Laowu's eyes almost popped out of his head in surprise, and he stood there in a daze.
He didn't expect Chen Zhancai to say such words, which completely overturned the status of the scholar in his heart. He was simply a gentleman and a scum.
Seeing that he was silent, Chen Zhancai thought he disagreed and hurriedly urged, "Brother, what are you still thinking about? You don't want a gold hairpin, just ten taels of silver. This is a huge bargain for you!"
Wang Laowu came back to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly, "This, this is absolutely impossible. How can a rough guy like me marry the woman of a scholar as my wife?"
"Why not? I got the money and you got a wife. It's called each taking what he needs."
"Mr. Scholar, you are not making fun of me, are you?" Wang Laowu said with a serious expression.
Chen Zhancai said seriously, "Do you think I'm joking? I'm telling the truth. If you give me ten taels of silver, the woman in my family will be yours. You should have seen my young wife. She's not only pretty, but also very good at managing the family."
Wang Laowu suddenly perked up and nodded repeatedly, "I've seen her. She's definitely a good woman to live with. I just don't know if she's willing to marry me?"
"She has no say in this matter. She is just a concubine I bought. I can buy, sell or give her away at will. You can rest assured about this matter." Chen Zhancai had a cold look on his face. Ruhua was like a commodity in his eyes.
"Okay, then it's a deal. You can't go back on your word."
"Why are you regretting this? Just give me ten taels of silver and I'll immediately sign a contract for you. Tomorrow you can come to my house to pick me up, and I'll give you the contract of sale."
"Okay, come home with me now to get the money." Wang Laowu didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he picked up the tofu basket and walked towards home.
Chen Zhancai was overjoyed. With money, he could eat and drink well. His hard days were finally over.
He came to Wang Laowu's house, without thinking twice, and directly signed a receipt and accepted ten taels of silver.
Wang Laowu was even more excited. His wife died young and he had been single for decades. Now he finally had a woman.
He wished he could take Ruhua home right now, enter the bridal chamber, and have her give birth to a child to carry on his family line.
He rubbed his hands impatiently and said, "Master Xiucai, since you have accepted the money, don't wait until tomorrow. I will go and pick her up now, how about it?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will default on my debt?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to have a good communication with the bride as soon as possible."
After hearing what he said, Chen Zhancai thought it made sense. If Ruhua really knew in advance that he had sold her, she would cry, make a fuss, and even hang herself.
If you really can't get over it and commit suicide, then you will lose everything.
In order to prevent the night from getting longer and more dreams, it is better to cut the Gordian knot and not give her a chance to breathe.
As long as she leaves the house, whether she is dead or alive has nothing to do with me.
Chen Zhancai smiled and nodded, "Okay, you come home with me, but let's be gentlemen first and villains later. I'll be frank with you. As long as you bring your wife out, she will have nothing to do with me. Whether she is dead or alive, you can't ask me for money."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiucai, I would never do such a wicked thing." Wang Laowu said as he picked up the five pounds of tofu that Chen Zhancai bought, "Let's go!"
"Okay, let's go." Chen Zhancai sold Ruhua without feeling any guilt. Instead, he felt a sense of relief.
There is no pressure to make money, and no burden of life.
Being free, doing whatever you want, and releasing your nature to the fullest, this kind of life is really great.
As I was thinking, I had already entered the house.
At this time, Ruhua was washing clothes. When she saw Chen Zhancai entering the yard, she quickly put down her work and stood up to greet him.
"Husband, you're back. Come sit down and rest for a while. I'll go cook for you."
"Okay, stop wasting time." Chen Zhancai frowned and glanced at her coldly. "Hurry up and pack your things. I've found a good family for you. You won't have to suffer with me anymore."
Ruhua was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Laowu behind him, and immediately understood what Chen Zhancai meant. She shook her head with red eyes and refused, "Husband, I'm not going anywhere. As long as you are willing to work hard, I'm not afraid of suffering."
Chen Zhancai looked displeased, "How can that be? I've already accepted their money."
