"The number one scholar is back? Oh, go check it out! Your grandma sold your fifth sister to raise money for you!"
When the onlookers saw the "real guy" coming, they all made way.
They were very enthusiastic and were talking at once while dodging.
The boy was confused at first, then shocked.
"Sell, sell the fifth sister?"
The plot begins?
Has Ling Wuya already exposed the original owner’s gambling scandal?
The boy has changed his heart and turned from the original owner into the executor of the task (that is, Ling Lie's clone).
He is familiar with the original plot and has a strong will.
On the way home, he made preparations according to Ling Lie's original plan to whitewash himself.
pity--
Gu Qingcheng came, and the plot took a small turn at a certain point.
Ling Wuya did not expose the truth, but followed the human trafficker away obediently.
Ling Lie: ...No!
The original owner's "forced" wish was to bring honor to his family and compensate his family members who were hurt by him.
Ling Wuya is one of them.
He couldn't let Ling Wuya be sold to a brothel by human traffickers. After a few years, she would be entertaining guests and being tortured to death by a perverted customer.
This was the original owner's greatest sin, and was also one of the important reasons why he could not enter reincarnation after his death.
Moreover, leaving aside the compensation, if one wants to achieve the goal of bringing honor to the family, one must save Ling Wuya——
Have you ever seen a big shot in the court who relied on his cousin's money to study and take the imperial examination?
Once it is revealed, one will be ruined and there will be no recovery!
"etc!"
Ling Lie didn't have time to think about it, and quickly rushed to Gu Qingcheng and grabbed her thin arm.
Turning his head, Ling Lie said firmly to the old couple of the Ling family, "Grandpa! Grandma! You can't sell your fifth sister!"
Before Old Lady Ling could speak, Third Aunt Ling became anxious.
How could she not be anxious? If she didn't sell Ling Wuya, how would her son Wu Ge'er go to school?
However, Third Aunt Ling is smart and won't bring hatred upon herself.
She fired at Ling Lie with all her might, sneering, "Brother Lie, if I don't sell you the fifth girl, how will I give you the money to attend the poetry gathering?"
Aunt Ling really wanted to spit in Ling Lie’s face: You, Ling Lie, are so cunning!
You clearly need the money, but you're still pretending to be a good person!
Oh, so the bad guys are all other people, and you are the only one who is kind and friendly to your brothers and sisters, and then all the face and reputation are yours?
So shameless!
Since you are a whore, don't pretend to be a saint.
Aunt Ling San has long been full of resentment towards the first wife and Ling Lie.
Ling Lie bumped into her head, and if she didn't curse at him, she would be letting down such a good opportunity!
Ling Lie:......
I was scolded in a sarcastic way and couldn't talk back.
Because the original owner was indeed a bastard.
Since he has become the original owner, he must bear the corresponding cause and effect.
"Aunt, I have money!"
Not wanting to waste time arguing with Aunt Ling San, a woman, Ling Lie simply revealed his trump card.
He picked up the bag in his hand and shook it vigorously.
There was a jingling sound coming from the bundle.
Is this a silver ingot?
No way!
Where can I get so much silver?
Ling Lie was just a thirteen-year-old boy. Even if he was jokingly called "the top scholar", he did not have the ability to get so much money.
The Ling family was suspicious and hesitant, while the surrounding villagers pointed and gossiped.
Ling Lie didn't bother to talk nonsense and went straight to the trafficker. "How much silver?"
In fact, the executor knew that Ling Wuya was sold for eight taels.
But Ling Lie didn’t know.
Although he is a rookie executor who has only completed a few missions, he still remembers the plot and sticks to his character.
"Eight taels!"
Although the human trafficker was a little confused by this sudden change, she did not think that the young man in front of her could come up with so much silver.
To put it bluntly, if he had money, he wouldn't have sold his cousin.
"Perhaps scholars can't save face and want to pretend."
The human trafficker is also a person who has seen the world, and she knows the hypocrisy of some scholars.
With contempt in his heart, the trafficker wanted to tease the young man who was trying to save face: "Hey, my dear, your sister's indenture is here. It's clearly written in black and white. Eight taels of silver."
"Here! If you can come up with eight taels, I'll return the indenture!"
As he spoke, the trafficker stretched out a fat hand.
The palms are facing up and the fingers are hooked!
It sounds quite provocative.
Ling Lie would not indulge her and directly took out a silver ingot from his bag: "This is ten taels, please give me another two taels!"
boom!
Everyone, including the Ling family, was shocked.
Ten taels of silver!
When the sunlight shines on it, it sparkles silver and doesn't look fake at all.
"Where did it come from? Brother Lie, did you do something bad?"
The eldest and his wife of the Ling family, who had been pretending to be dead, finally stopped being silent. They staggered forward and asked anxiously.
Gu Qingcheng lowered her eyelids to hide the sarcasm in her eyes: It seems that the eldest wife should know what kind of person her son is.
It’s ridiculous that they keep spreading nonsense like “My son is good at studying, and he will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future.”
Ling Lie was stunned by the question.
How to answer?
In the original plot, with Ling Wuya's revelation, Ling Lie could take advantage of the situation to make a "confession".
But now, without Ling Wuya's "assistance", if Ling Lie said it himself, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.
Confessing out of necessity and actively admitting that you gamble are definitely two different things.
Ling Lie:......
