Upon hearing the word "money," Liang Mei's eyes instantly became wary.
"Money? How would I know where the money is..."
Liang Mei's large, bright eyes instantly filled with tears, filled with resentment and accusation, but not with the resentment of dying in the fire in her previous life.
"Isn't it you who holds all the money in the house? If I have even a single penny, you...you..."
Just hit her.
Seeing his wife trembling, Lin Chaosheng slapped himself hard.
He reached out and pulled Liang Mei, who was trying to back away, to her feet, and looked into her timid eyes as she faced him, assuring her.
"Don't worry, I won't hit you again, or I'll make sure Lin Chaosheng suffers a terrible death!"
Upon hearing him swear a solemn oath, Liang Mei's first reaction was not to feel relieved, but to cover his mouth in panic.
"What nonsense are you talking about! If you die, how am I supposed to live? What will happen to Xiao Fu..."
Liang Mei's eyes were filled with tears, and she covered her mouth with her soft little hand. Lin Chaosheng was stunned and stared at Liang Mei.
Liang Mei blushed under his gaze, looked away awkwardly, and lowered her hands.
"I...I really have no money left. You just took the last five yuan from me yesterday, and now I don't have a single penny..."
Lin Chaosheng instantly regained his senses after hearing what she said.
She ran her hands through her hair, wondering where she had put the forty dollars in her past life.
"This room is only so big, come with me and let's look around."
Liang Mei nodded, looking at her husband, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart, feeling that he had truly changed for the better.
On the other side, in a mud house that was about to collapse.
A pretty girl was hiding in a dilapidated wardrobe, so dilapidated that it would fall apart if shaken.
If it weren't for this, Lin Chaosheng would probably have taken this broken wardrobe and sold it for money.
"Damn it, where's that little bitch?"
Several burly men entered from outside, their eyes gleaming with cunning.
"This house is only so big. If she's not inside, she's probably outside. If we stay here and keep watch, this woman definitely won't get away!"
The tall, thin man had a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, and a hint of gluttony gleamed in his eyes.
"Boss, what kind of incredible luck did Lin Chaosheng have? Not only is his wife beautiful and has a great figure, but even his sister-in-law is stunningly gorgeous. How can he resist her..."
As he spoke, the man let out several nauseating laughs.
The man standing to his right, shorter but also stronger, chuckled and said, "Among all the women in this area, the Liang sisters are the most beautiful! It's just that Liang Fu is too thin and doesn't have the same charm as her sister."
"Get out! You don't know anything!"
The man called "boss" was the buyer; he bought Liang Fu not just to be his wife.
He had handled at least five or ten women, and without exception, he would sell them to small shops in the city after he got tired of them.
As for what to do, that goes without saying.
"I've eaten plenty of fresh food in the city, but none of it can compare to the Liang sisters."
"Although Liang Fu is a bit thin, some city people like that kind of figure. After a few days of good food, her figure will definitely make a lot of people drool with envy, hahaha!"
Qin Laoda's laughter made Liang Fu's heart sink. She covered her mouth tightly with both hands, hating her brother-in-law Lin Chaosheng, who wanted to sell her to pay off gambling debts.
If it weren't for Lin Chaosheng, her sister wouldn't be beaten every day!
After being beaten, she still had to go out to work. She had never seen a married woman who would follow a group of men to hunt in the mountains or fish in the sea!
She finally managed to earn some money, but Lin Chaosheng would snatch it away on the street. If she didn't give it back, he would beat her up. He didn't care at all what others thought of her sister.
Hatred and anger spurred a strange courage within Liang Fu. Her eyes searched the area within sight and finally spotted the hoe standing against the wall.
If we wait a bit...
Liang Fu was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice the exchange of glances between Qin Laoda and the other two.
The next second—
"Aaaaaah!!"
"Let go, you bastards! Help! Is anyone there? Someone's robbing me—"
Before Liang Fu could finish shouting, a rough, salty hand covered her mouth.
"Don't yell, little beauty, I'm going to take you to enjoy a life of luxury!"
"Once you taste what's inside, you'll definitely be grateful to me. Besides, you can make money from it. What's your name?"
Another tall, thin man took the opportunity to grope Liang Fu, his rough hands roaming over her smooth arms.
"Exactly, what if we have the chance to become city dwellers? Wouldn't that be better than suffering in the countryside with your sister and brother-in-law..."
Liang Fu didn't want to become a city dweller; in her heart, a harmonious and happy family was more important than anything else.
She struggled fiercely, tearing many of her patched clothes in the process, revealing her fair skin, which made the three of them breathe rapidly.
"You better behave yourself. With your brother-in-law's personality, he might sell your sister in less than two months."
"I'll buy your sister too, so the three of you sisters can be reunited, hahahahaha..."
"Bang!"
Before the three men's arrogant laughter had even subsided, the dilapidated wooden door was kicked away by Lin Chaosheng.
Liang Mei, who was following behind him, nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, startled by her husband's imposing manner.
When Liang Mei saw Liang Fu pinned down by three men, her eyes instantly turned red. "You beasts!"
Lin Chaosheng was also feeling terrible, especially when he saw Liang Fu's hateful gaze towards him; it felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out with a knife.
"You have one second to let her go."
Lin Chaosheng's eyes were sharp, and his tone was menacing; he was like a completely different person.
Qin the Elder subconsciously released Liang Fu, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
"What do you mean, Lin Chaosheng? You've already taken the money, and I'm here to pick up the goods. What's the meaning of you popping up here now?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Chaosheng threw forty yuan in his face. "I'm not selling anymore. Take your men and get the hell out of here!"
When has Qin Laoda ever been treated like this?
Feeling humiliated, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.
"You think you can just say you won't sell and then not sell? You're playing this game of going back on your word with me, aren't you tired of living?"
But before his fist could even reach Lin Chaosheng, Lin Chaosheng kicked him in the stomach.
Although it wasn't enough to send someone flying, Boss Qin did take a solid kick and fell to the ground in so much pain that he couldn't get up.
"Take this forty yuan and get out of here. Don't make me say it a second time!"
"How dashing, Lin Chaosheng!" Boss Qin spat on the ground. "Forty yuan? You think you can give money to a beggar?"
