When Mingyu heard the door open, he reflexively stood in front of his brother, ruffling his brother's hair. He also grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and wiped it on his face.
The two brothers are so ugly that they cannot be discovered.
"Cry, cry, cry, that's all you know how to do. You little bastards, you're crying so loudly. Did your father die, or did your mother remarry? Whoever is crying, get out here, or I'll beat you to a pulp."
The man who came in cursed and punched the door, making it bang. The child was frightened by the noise and froze.
Afterwards, strong light shone into the house. The children had been in the dark for a long time and were not used to it, so they subconsciously covered their eyes.
"We have so many goods this time, I'm sure we can sell them for a lot of money. I'm going to take a break after I get the money." The man said proudly, looking at the children in the house.
The woman standing behind the man said in a low voice with an indifferent expression, "Okay, after this job, we'll call it a day. We've made enough money over the years. I don't want to continue doing this either. After all, no matter how much money I make, it lacks moral integrity."
"What's wrong with me? I don't believe it. For so many years, I have been relying on those brats to live a good life." The man said shamelessly.
"Oh, let's get ready to leave quickly before anyone finds us."
"What are you afraid of? Wuning County is not only remote but also very poor. Although I've heard that the county magistrate is a man of integrity, these children are of low status. Even if they were missing, no one would dare report them to the authorities and launch a large-scale search. I doubt anyone would even look for them."
The woman thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. The place they chose was relatively remote, and the abducted child was not a high-ranking official, so there was no need to worry about a large-scale search.
Besides, human life is not as valuable as food these days. After thinking it through, the worry on his face disappeared.
Then he put on a smile, walked up to the twins, touched the brothers' faces with his hands, and nodded with satisfaction.
"I didn't expect to have such an unexpected reward before leaving. I've been working here for so many years, and I've never seen a farm child look so handsome. I gave Old Lady Li forty taels to buy you two, but your sister messed up. Don't even think about escaping from my clutches this time."
The moment Mingyu saw the woman, he recognized who she was. It was the day when his sister was born that his grandmother wanted to sell him and his brother, and the person who bought them was the woman in front of him.
Mingyu, who was trying to pretend to be calm, was actually terrified. After all, he was just a six-year-old child, and not crying was his last act of stubbornness.
Minghao didn't have so many concerns. He recognized the woman and started to scold her directly.
"You old witch, please let my brother and I go immediately. If my sister finds out, she will definitely not forgive you."
"Hey, you little bastard, how dare you threaten me? To tell you the truth, I've been keeping an eye on you two. Otherwise, why would I stay in this godforsaken place for so long? I still haven't gotten my hands on you two."
"I was originally upset that I didn't use the forty taels of silver to buy you two. I never thought that God would be so kind to me. I didn't have to spend a single moment to get you two top-notch goods."
"No, there's another one."
As she spoke, the woman dragged a boy out from the corner.
"Hey, why does this child look so much like the twins? Could they be from the same family? Bah, I'm so happy I'm losing my mind. I can tell with a discerning eye that this one is from a wealthy family, while the twins are from farming families. They're not even remotely related. Why am I making wild guesses?"
"Hey, you know what, these three look so alike. Why don't we just say they're triplets when we sell them? Not to mention triplets, even twins are rare, let alone boys. Many wealthy families like to play with this, so they'll definitely sell for a high price."
"Hey! Damn it, how did you suddenly become smart?"
The woman turned around and put her arms around the man's neck, and the man took the opportunity to lift her up horizontally.
"What do you mean by that? Not only my brain has opened up, but other parts of my body have opened up as well. Do you want to try it?"
"Get out of here, you bastard." The woman clenched her fists and hit the man.
However, when the two of them left, they did not forget to lock the door.
"What should I do? I miss my parents, I miss my home, wuwuwu."
"They are bad people. Why did they arrest me? I'm scared..."
After the man and woman left, all the children started crying out of fear, except the twins and the boy.
"Brother, we have to find a way to escape. If we are not sold, we will never see my sister and my parents again." Minghao said in a low voice.
