"Zhi Zhaodi? How could it be you? Do you want to die? What are you doing blocking my mule cart?"
Zhiyin squinted at the humanoid creature in front of her, quickly recognized the person, rolled her eyes in exasperation, and shouted angrily without any politeness.
I'm really impressed. Luckily, she has good eyesight, good technique, and quick reaction time.
If she were nearsighted, in this pitch black, she might think she'd seen a ghost and wouldn't even realize she'd bumped into someone.
At the same time, I can't help but wonder, what's going on with Zhi Zhaodi? What's she up to?
Why does it feel like it was deliberately blocked here?
They really are a persistent ghost!
"Cousin, sob sob sob... My mother and grandparents are going to sell me to a widower who is already fifty years old."
Zhi Zhaodi's expression was completely different from Zhiyin's. Upon seeing her, it was as if she had seen a savior. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed over, staring at Zhiyin with teary eyes.
Zhiyin couldn't help but frown, "Don't call me cousin!"
"We've severed ties!"
"What does it matter to me if your grandparents sold you?"
Her tone was full of impatience, after all, she had no liking for this Zhi Zhaodi at all.
Like her mother, she was young, but neither of them were good people.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel disgusted by Zhijia's behavior.
The age of fifty!
Isn't that just a 50-something-year-old bachelor?
This Zhi Zhaodi is only 15 years old, in the prime of her life, yet she's been paired with an old bachelor.
Absolutely outrageous!!
This family is really obsessed with money.
"Waaaaah~ Cousin, you can't be so heartless! We're cousins after all, please, please help me!"
Zhi Zhaodi pitifully tugged at Zhiyin's hand, her eyes filled with helplessness.
"Then tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
Seeing that Zhi Zhaodi was determined to hold her and she couldn't pull her away no matter what she did, Zhiyin sighed and said irritably.
Upon hearing this, Zhi Zhaodi thought she had a chance, and her eyes lit up instantly. She looked at her eagerly and ingratiatingly, saying, "Cousin, can you give me two taels of silver?"
"Two ounces? What are you going to do with that?"
Zhiyin frowned; for her now, two taels of silver were nothing special.
If Zhi Zhaodi can make a change, such as using the two taels of silver to escape, then she might consider helping her.
After all, she may dislike her, but even a close friend wouldn't want to witness a woman being pushed into a pit of fire.
Upon hearing this, Zhi Zhaodi immediately lowered her eyes and said with a dejected expression, "My grandmother sold me for two taels of silver. I was thinking that if I gave them two taels, they probably wouldn't have sold me to an old man. At least I would have been sold to a handsome young man."
At this point, her face actually turned slightly red with shyness.
"Ha~ You're overthinking it!!"
Zhiyin smiled with disdain and contempt. With the insatiable greed of the Zhi family, how could they possibly give up until they had squeezed Zhi Zhaodi dry?
At the same time, Zhiyin was a little disappointed, thinking that Zhizhaodi would be determined to separate from the family or something, after all, she knew what kind of life she was living in the Zhi family.
But now it seems she's actually enjoying it?
"Alright, I don't want to get involved in your family's affairs."
After saying this, Zhiyin took the opportunity to push Zhizhaodi off the mule cart.
"I know everything. You're so rich now, what's wrong with giving me some money?"
"Zhiyin, are you really that heartless? You'd rather help a complete stranger than your own cousin! Are you even human?"
Upon hearing this, Zhi Zhaodi's face changed drastically, and she yelled at her hoarsely, "If I didn't have this money, I would have to marry a widower."
"Oh"
Zhiyin was almost amused by her logic. She glanced coldly at Zhizhaodi, pried off her hands that were clinging to her leg again without hesitation, and snorted, "First of all, I didn't force you to marry a widower. If you want to blame someone, don't blame me. Why don't you blame your grandparents? Why don't you blame your mother?"
"Secondly, my money is earned through hard work, and I can give it to whomever I want; it's none of your business!"
"It's all your fault!!!"
Zhi Zhaodi, her eyes bloodshot, pointed at Zhiyin and shouted angrily, "If you hadn't refused to give my grandparents money, if my brother hadn't been unable to afford school and a wife, how could they have sold me?"
“If I had money, my mother wouldn’t have sold me. It’s all your fault.”
"Now that you have the ability, why don't you help your family? Why are you so heartless?"
Zhiyin couldn't help but shake her head, speechless and angry, as she watched Zhizhaodi shouting and yelling like a madwoman.
She genuinely believed that Zhi Zhaodi was sick, utterly stubborn and beyond help!
It's like they've been brainwashed, or maybe they've really been completely tamed by the old Zhi family!
"Neuropathy!"
Zhiyin rolled her eyes in exasperation. Seeing that Zhizhaodi was about to pounce on her again, she kicked her away without hesitation.
"roll--!!!"
She had actually thought that if Zhi Zhaodi really changed, she might be able to help her.
After all, she was just a pitiful little girl, and she didn't want to watch helplessly as such a beautiful young girl fell into the jaws of wolves.
But as it turns out, some people are inherently bad from childhood and don't deserve any sympathy.
It's really hard for bad bamboo to produce good bamboo shoots!
As the mule cart roared past, kicking up dust that slapped against her face, Zhi Zhaodi's complexion alternated between pale and flushed.
She angrily chased after Zhiyin, and in a fit of rage, picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the back of Zhiyin's carriage.
His entire face was contorted with rage, making him look ferocious and terrifying.
