Yang Cui put the money away: "I don't have time these few days, but I'll make vermicelli for everyone in a few days. I hope Young Master Su will do me the honor of coming."
After saying that, Yang Cui picked up a pen and wrote an IOU to Su Murong, promising to repay him 520 taels of silver within ten months.
"Then I'll wait."
Yang Cui smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I definitely won't let you..."
Before she could even utter the word "disappointment," a series of cries rang out. Yang Cui recognized the voices as those of the Wang Xile and Wang Ximei sisters.
"Mom, Mom, Uncle Wang is going to sell Xile and Ximei," Sanya ran over to tell Yang Cui.
"Put the child down, put the child down, sob sob sob..." Chen Sumei tried to rush over and snatch the child, but Wang Dachun held her back tightly.
"Wang Dachun, you beast, you bastard, you sold my daughter! I'll fight you to the death! I'll fight you to the death!" Chen Sumei struggled and fought desperately.
Wang Dachun slapped her across the face: "Shut up! You two brats, you'll belong to someone else's family sooner or later!"
Such a large commotion immediately attracted many villagers to watch the excitement, but no one dared to step forward to help. Firstly, they were afraid of the Wang sisters and their burly men, and secondly, they all knew that Wang Dachun owed gambling debts and they really couldn't help him. They could only watch helplessly, feeling regretful.
"Mother... Mother... Waaah..." The Wang sisters cried their hearts out.
Yang Cui felt a pang of pity.
To be honest, Wang Dachun is a scoundrel, but his children are really good. They do their jobs exceptionally well every day, which makes things much easier for Yang Cui.
At this moment, Chen Sumei knelt down in front of Yang Cui with a thud, crying and kowtowing: "Xiaocui, I beg you, I beg you to save my daughter, I beg you to buy them both, they can do a lot of work, give them a bite to eat, give them a way to live, I beg you."
Yang Cui was so frightened that she took two steps back.
"Xiaocui, I know I'm asking you a difficult question, but I have no other choice but to ask you for help. Please help me, please help my daughter. I'll sell myself to you too. I don't want any wages, I won't want any wages in the future. Please save them. They've been sold to brothels, and their lives are over. I'm begging you."
Chen Sumei kowtowed repeatedly, drawing blood from her forehead.
Yang Cui sighed and asked, "How much are these two girls worth?"
Upon hearing this, the burly man who had captured the Wang sisters sized up Yang Cui and asked, "You want to buy it?"
“These two kids work for me every day and they’re quite hardworking. If the price is right, I can buy them.”
"Fifty taels."
Upon hearing this, Su Murong scoffed, "Fifty taels? You might as well just rob them. These two girls are of average looks, but they are young. They're worth at most twenty taels."
Seeing that Su Murong was dressed in the finest attire, and that the gold belt around his waist was particularly eye-catching, the burly men realized that they couldn't afford to offend him, so they nodded in agreement.
Yang Cui didn't want others to think she was very rich, so after they agreed on the price, she said, "Young Master Su, I don't have any money on me right now. Please lend me twenty taels."
