As Wu Laosi spoke, he even tried to kick Wu Qiuyue.
"Stop it!" Gu Lili shouted as she kicked Wu Laosi away.
Wu Laosi hadn't noticed Gu Lili behind him, so he stumbled several times and almost fell to the ground.
Once Wu Laosi had steadied himself, he looked up and saw that it was actually a young girl with blond hair.
The anger in his heart grew even stronger.
"Where did this brat come from, daring to kick me? Believe me or not, I'll slap you!" Wu Laosi said, and then walked towards Gu Lili.
He made a move to hit Gu Lili!
Wu Laosi didn't dare to get angry at Liu Chang and the other man, but he would dare to beat up a girl who couldn't even kill a chicken.
Gu Lili held the chili water in her hand, waiting for him to get a little closer before spraying it directly on his face.
Gu Yun Chu quickly stood in front of Gu Li Li, protecting her behind her to prevent her sister from being bullied.
Gu Yun Chu was also furious about what had happened today.
For the time being, I didn't know how to handle it.
Wu Qiuyue knew that Gu Lili couldn't stand how Wu Laosi treated her, which was why she stepped in to help her.
So, when she saw Wu Laosi walking towards Gu Lili, Wu Qiuyue endured the sharp pain in her heart and quickly hugged Wu Laosi's leg.
"Father, weren't you going to sell me to the brothel? Let's go!" Wu Qiuyue cried out, her voice trembling with grief.
Wu Qiuyue quickly looked at Gu Lili opposite her, who was much younger than her.
Judging from Gu Lili's clothes, they were all from farming families.
Even if it were to save himself, he would be powerless.
She knew Gu Lili meant well, so she absolutely couldn't let Wu Laosi hurt Gu Lili.
Seeing Wu Qiuyue enduring the pain to block Wu Laosi's path, Gu Lili's resolve to save her strengthened.
Wu Laosi kicked Wu Qiuyue away and cursed, "I'm going to sell you to the brothel, but that won't stop me from beating this brat up. How dare she kick me!"
Wu Qiuyue didn't have much strength to begin with, and Wu Laosi threw her to the ground again with a flick of his wrist.
Just as Gu Lili was about to make a move, Liu Chang stepped forward and grabbed Wu Laosi by the back of the neck.
"What bad luck! You better hurry up and stop wasting my time! Pay me back now!" Liu Chang cursed.
No one, including myself, would look down on someone who beats women and children!
Moreover, this person has such poor character!
They were just out collecting debts and didn't want any complications.
I just want to get the money back as soon as possible so I can go out for drinks and explain myself.
In an instant, Wu Laosi, who had been arrogant and domineering, became completely subdued.
"Yes, yes, let's go! I'll sell this brat and pay you back!" Old Wu said meekly.
Wu Laosi witnessed firsthand how Liu Chang chopped off the fingers of someone who couldn't repay their debts.
Therefore, he was very afraid of Liu Chang.
If he can't pay back the money, and if a few of his fingers get chopped off, how will he ever turn things around?
Liu Chang loosened his grip on Wu Laosi's hand. Wu Laosi glared at Gu Lili, then quickly squatted down and pulled Wu Qiuyue, intending to take her back to the Wan Hua Lou.
"Wait!"
Gu Lili spoke up to stop them, saying, "I'll buy this person!"
Gu Lili had just thought about it; she had so much to do and needed help.
If we buy Wu Qiuyue, we can not only save her from her predicament, but also gain her assistance, which is a win-win situation.
After hearing this, Wu Laosi couldn't help but sneer, "Someone like you wants to buy my daughter? Do you even have the money?"
As Wu Laosi spoke, he pulled Wu Qiuyue toward the Wan Hua Lou.
"Five taels of silver, right? Here you go!" Gu Lili shouted.
As she spoke, Gu Lili took out a silver ingot from her money bag.
Upon hearing the sound, Wu Laosi turned his head and saw the gleaming silver. He immediately stopped in his tracks and swallowed hard.
He never expected that a young girl could produce so much silver.
Not only him, but everyone present was surprised.
Wu Laosi's eyes darted around quickly, and he said slyly, "Who said five taels of silver? I want six taels!"
Seeing how readily Gu Lili took out the silver, it seemed she genuinely wanted to save Wu Qiuyue.
Presumably, Gu Lili could find a way to scrape together an extra ounce or two.
Gu Yun Chu was enraged by Wu Lao Si's shameless behavior and cursed, "You are shameless! Everyone clearly heard you say that you were going to sell your daughter for five taels of silver, and now you're trying to raise the price! Bah!"
As he spoke, he spat at Wu Laosi.
The spittle landed squarely on Wu Laosi's face, making everyone present burst into laughter.
“This is my daughter. I can sell her for whatever price I want. It’s none of your business! If you can’t afford it, don’t waste my time!” Old Wu wiped the spit off his face and said with a look of disdain.
He knew that Gu Yun Chu and Gu Li Li were in cahoots, so he didn't dare to do anything when Gu Yun Chu spat on his face.
He was still hoping to get Gu Lili to add an extra tael of silver. If he offended Gu Yun Chu and Gu Lili didn't want Wu Qiu Yue anymore, he would be at a huge loss.
This person is so obsessed with money that they've even abandoned their own dignity.
Gu Lili knew that Wu Laosi was trying to provoke her into spending another tael of silver.
However, Gu Lili did not want Wu Laosi to have his way.
However, before Gu Lili could speak, Liu Chang, who was standing next to her, kicked Wu Laosi in the buttocks.
"I've wasted all of today's time on you, you dawdle, I'm going to slap you!" Liu Chang cursed.
Selling this girl to Gu Lili is much better than selling her to a brothel madam; consider it a good deed for yourself.
As he spoke, Liu Chang kicked Wu Laosi in the chest, looking impatient.
Wu Laosi was kicked to the ground, but Liu Chang was not willing to let him go and kicked him again.
Wu Laosi was beaten so badly by Liu Chang that he was afraid that if he delayed any longer, Liu Chang would chop off his fingers.
He curled up on the ground, begging Liu Chang for mercy.
"Uncle Chang, please spare me! I won't waste your time any longer. I'll sell her! I'll sell my daughter to her right now and pay you back. Please stop hitting me!"
Upon hearing what Wu Laosi said, Liu Changcai withdrew his foot.
Wu Laosi stood up and pushed Wu Qiuyue toward Gu Lili, saying, "I've sold it to you, give me the money!"
As he spoke, he tried to snatch the money from Gu Lili's hand.
Wu Qiuyue steadied herself and quickly stopped Wu Laosi's hand.
“Since Father wants to sell me to this girl, then write a contract of servitude. From now on, I will have nothing to do with you anymore!” Wu Qiuyue said calmly.
She finally saw her father's true character.
It's just that they treat themselves as objects.
