Wang Ermaizi was stubborn and refused to say anything, insisting that he came here just to steal money.
"I really only came here to steal money."
"Very good, you won't tell me, right?" Bei Yutang took out a thin needle from the drawer and waved it faintly in front of him.
Wang Ermaizi didn't take it seriously, but soon became frightened.
"People often say that the heart is connected to the fingers. How do you think it would feel if I stuck this thin needle into your nail?"
Wang Ermazi looked at her in horror, and when he saw the thin needle about to pierce into him, he immediately surrendered.
"I'll tell you. I'll tell you."
Bei Yutang withdrew her hand and looked at him with cold eyes.
"There's a man in the north of the city who wants a few three or four-year-old boys. I thought it would be hard for you to raise a child alone, so I'm going to take him away." Wang Ermazi was afraid she would get angry, so he quickly added, "I can pay for him. I can buy him."
Wang Ermaizi had inquired around and knew that Mu Zhitao was very bad to her son. He originally wanted to buy him from her, but when he came to her house, he found that only Xiao Zimo was at home, and Mu Zhitao was sick in bed.
An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he became greedy and prepared to secretly kidnap Xiao Zimo.
Now that I've been caught, I can only pay to buy it.
When Xiao Zimo heard this, his face turned pale, his dark eyes filled with tears. He knelt down in front of Bei Yutang and said with a choked voice, "Mother, please don't sell me. I can cook, chop wood, and wash clothes. I will be good. Mother, please don't sell me."
The little guy cried pitifully, his dark eyes full of pleading.
Bei Yutang was so moved by his crying and begging, "Don't sell me!" that she hugged him in her arms and said, "Silly child, how could your mother sell you?"
Xiao Zimo held her sleeves tightly with both hands, fearing that she would sell him out if he let go.
Bei Yutang felt distressed and reached out to rub his hair.
Wang Ermazi was afraid that she would not sell it and bring bad luck upon him, so he hurriedly said, "I can offer a high price, five taels of silver."
Bei Yutang threw him a cold knife, "Shut up!"
Wang Ermaizi was frightened by the aura she exuded and dared not speak.
"I will only say this once, and you have to listen carefully. I will not sell the son of Mu Zhitao, and I will never sell him. No matter whether you offer me a mountain of gold or a mountain of silver, do you understand?" The last sentence was said in a suddenly heavier voice.
Wang Ermazi nodded subconsciously, "I understand, I understand."
"I'm glad to understand. Now we should settle the matter of you breaking into my house in the middle of the night and trying to kidnap my son. What do you think we should do?" Bei Yutang stared at him with cold eyes.
Wang Ermazi shuddered, "What do you want to do?"
When Wang Ermaizi saw the silver needle in her hand, his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Should I beat you up, or break your naughty hands, or..." Bei Yutang cited several examples in a row, which made him feel uneasy.
"No, no, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."
"Let you go?" Bei Yutang snorted coldly, "If I hadn't discovered it in time, you would have sold my son. Do you think I can let you go?"
Wang Ermazi hung his head, "So what do you want?"
"You can choose between having your hands and feet cut off or paying ten taels of silver as compensation. It's your choice." Bei Yutang asked bluntly.
Ten taels of silver? !
Wang Ermaizi's eyes widened. That was a huge sum of money. Even if he sold all his belongings, he would not have ten taels of silver.
