"Sister Wanwan, I didn't mean it. I just saw that they were having a hard time, and I..." Wushuang knelt on the ground and said hesitantly.
Ye Wanwan felt a little depressed. She had taken it for granted that she could lead her out of the quagmire once, but she couldn't stop others from getting deeply trapped in it.
"Sister Wanwan, I know I was wrong. Please don't chase me away, okay?" Wushuang saw that Ye Wanwan didn't say anything, and slowly crawled to Ye Wanwan's feet.
"Do you know why I named you Wushuang?" Ye Wanwan lowered her eyes, not knowing whether the extra affection was pity or regret. "I don't want you to be anyone's appendage. Your parents are just using you. And do you know the consequences of betraying your master?"
Wushuang, with her hair in pigtails, shook her head. "You lied to me. Mom said there's already a bed for me at home. Sister Wanwan, can you please let me go? Then our family can be reunited..."
"What did they tell you?" Ye Wanwan pinched the chin of Wushuang who was begging for mercy on the ground. Her sharp gaze pierced through Wushuang's dark eyes, as if striking his heart directly.
Wushuang closed her eyes, saying nothing as she silently recalled the scene of that day. She felt as sweet as honey. Her mother had brought her a prepared meal and even slipped a few copper coins when she left. This was something she had never experienced before...
"Go back and ask for ten taels of silver, and you'll be free." Ye Wanwan said with a smile as she looked at Wushuang's expression, who was immersed in happiness.
There's no need to save someone who can't be saved. She can't teach Wushuang how to be a good person, but her trusted parents can. Will selling her daughter to a brothel because of gambling debts really change anything?
Ye Ansheng and Fang watched coldly, and only went up to persuade Ye Wanwan after Li Zhaodi turned and left.
"Ten taels of silver is too cheap for her. Wanwan, it's our fault. When we first found out, we thought she was just a little girl and warned her." Ye Ansheng sighed and admitted his fault.
Fang also nodded, feeling extremely annoyed. "My daughter, don't be angry. It's my fault. I wanted to save trouble by asking her to help me."
"Dad, Mom, it's not our fault. Everyone has to pay for their own choices. But you are not allowed to hide these things from me in the future." Ye Wanwan shook her head and added.
"Li Zhaodi, are you kidding? Ten taels of silver, working hard from dawn to dusk for so many days, do you really think money is easy to make? With that silver for you, I might as well go out and have some fun..." Li San looked at Wushuang, who was crying and snotting, and pointed at his nose and cursed.
What the hell, ten taels of silver. I only sold it for five taels of silver last time. Ten taels of silver, you really dare to ask for it.
"Dad, Mom said that we are a family. Being together as a family is better than anything else." Wushuang, also known as Li Zhaodi in Li San's mouth, looked up and said, very expectantly.
She betrayed Sister Wanwan, but Sister Wanwan was willing to let her go. Ten taels of silver, it was only a matter of time before the wonton stall earned ten taels of silver, and her father would definitely agree.
Li San seemed to have heard something funny. "Li Zhaodi, it seems the Ye family really treats you well. You've been a slave for so long, yet you're still so naive."
"Li Zhaodi, do you know how much ten taels of silver is? I sold you for five taels of silver. Do you think I would spend ten taels of silver on you?"
As Li San was talking, he directly kicked the person out of the door. From beginning to end, Li Zhaodi, who said that they were all family members, never showed up.
"Dad, ask Mom to tell me, Dad, let me in..." Li Zhaodi kept knocking on the door, her expression full of unwillingness.
She was supposed to have a home. Yes, ten taels of silver. If Sister Wanwan didn't want the ten taels of silver, she could go home. She would have her own bed, be loved by her parents, and work at her own stall...
Li Zhaodi, who thought she had figured it out, rekindled her hope and dragged her heavy steps towards Linjia Village again, thinking that if Ye Wanwan let her go, she could go home.
"Wanwan, I have bought the wine and chili powder. I bought them just as you asked." Lin Xu'an drove the ox cart and pointed to the large cart of things he brought back.
Ye Wanwan nodded, her interest ultimately disturbed. It seemed like she had saved them, yet she couldn't. She blamed Wushuang, but how could she blame him? She had been neglected and abused since she was a child. Perhaps that family was all she had ever hoped for in her life.
"Wanwan, come and teach me how to make it. Let's go to Douzhuang." Lin Xu'an understood the look Ye Ansheng gave him, took Ye Wanwan's hand, and said with a smile.
Ye Wanwan smiled. Indeed, there was no time to be sad about this. She should just do what she had to do first.
"Wanwan, is this really edible?" Liu looked at the moldy and smelly tofu blocks and felt a little skeptical, but she couldn't help but asked.
Ye Wanwan's mentality is different. These layers of white mold have simply grown into her heart. In this era, transportation is inconvenient, and fermented bean curd is not afraid of spoiling, so it is also very promising.
First pour the molded tofu into the white wine and mix well, then add in the prepared seasonings. The small jar hasn't arrived yet, but a large vat looks more spectacular.
"Have you learned it? Lin Xu'an, you try it." Ye Wanwan demonstrated and was very satisfied with the prototype that looked good.
She's a sure winner in the soy product competition. Making the brine for stinky tofu is tricky, but luckily, she has a cheat! With this system in hand, she can conquer the world!
If you have too many lice and you don't feel itchy, and your growth value is increasing, what does it matter? If one dares to lend, and two dare to give, then there will be nothing to worry about.
"Sister Wanwan, can you please not take the ten taels of silver? Be a good person to the end. My family can't afford the ten taels of silver." Li Zhaodi came back again with her clothes and hair messy, and her voice was much softer. She was just begging.
After dinner, Ye Wanwan finally saw the person she was waiting for. The response she received was as expected, "Wushuang, you can't have it all. I'm being kind enough not to argue with you."
"Sister Wanwan, your business is getting bigger and bigger, and you don't need the ten taels of silver at all. But it's different for me. I just want to have a family. What's wrong with me?" Li Zhaodi roared at the top of her lungs, as if she was morally blackmailing her.
Ye Wanwan sneered, her eyes growing colder. "Wushuang, if I hadn't saved you that day, where would you be? Do you know?"
"I won't use force to repay a favor, but you can't repay kindness with hatred either. Li Zhaodi, please go away. I don't want the ten taels of silver anymore."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was no longer any Wushuang, the little maid of the Ye family, and Li Zhaodi, who thought she had been reborn, had actually cut off all her escape routes.
"Thank you, Sister Wanwan, thank you, Sister Wanwan." Li Zhaodi kowtowed three times respectfully, then stepped into the night without hesitation, without looking back.
