Chapter 482 Discussing Money
The look in her eyes was shocking. Li Chunhua looked away and dared not meet her gaze again.
Grandma Li, however, showed no remorse whatsoever. She pushed Sanni directly to the middle-aged couple and said, "Quick! Take her away and do whatever you want with her. Beat her a few times, starve her a few times, and she'll behave!"
They knew perfectly well that Sanni wouldn't compromise so easily, so the easiest way was to just use brute force to drag her back!
Sanni was only nine years old and had no chance against the strength of two adults. Her eyes were filled with despair.
Once she was taken away, she would never come back, and she would never see her precious baby again!
My darling!
Helian Jiao, who was playing with Gu Tingyun, suddenly stopped and turned to Ma Xiulian, saying in a soft voice, "Grandma, Third Sister is calling me."
She had just vaguely heard her third sister's desperate and frightened cry.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiulian smiled and said, "Sanni has probably just arrived in town. When she comes back, Grandma will have her come over for lunch and play with you for a while."
She didn't take it seriously, assuming her granddaughter just missed her older sister.
Helian Jiao listened intently for a while, and after hearing nothing, nodded: "Okay."
Her fair, plump cheeks trembled slightly.
Gu Tingyun acted on impulse, reaching out to pinch her chubby cheeks, which were incredibly soft and bouncy.
Suddenly I wanted to try it and see if the little hamster's face was sweet, just like the milk jelly.
So he asked, "Sweetie, can I gently bite your cheek?"
Helian Jiao's eyes widened immediately. She covered her face with her chubby little hands and looked at him warily: "No!"
Wanting to bite means wanting to eat!
The big bad dragon actually wanted to eat her!
Seeing her adorable, flustered reaction, Gu Tingyun suppressed a laugh and soothed her, "Don't bite, don't bite."
But I felt a little regretful.
But the little princess was very perceptive; she sensed his regret, covered her chubby face, turned around, and ran out quickly.
"My sweet baby!"
Gu Tingyun chased after her, pretending he couldn't catch up: "Wait for me."
Seeing that the big bad dragon couldn't catch up with her, the little princess immediately laughed triumphantly: "I'm not waiting for you!"

In town, after everyone had gone far away, Li Chunhua began to argue with Old Lady Li about the money.
"I want at least forty yuan!" said Old Mrs. Li, as she took out sixty yuan and threw it to Li Chunhua.
Li Chunhua refused, taking the money and angrily saying, "I'm selling my daughter! You have to give me another thirty yuan, and I'll give you ten!"
She didn't want to lose forty yuan all at once.
This is more than two months' worth of work points for her and her husband, enough to buy a lot of meat!
Old Mrs. Li immediately pulled a long face and cursed, "Ten yuan?! Are you trying to fob me off?! I've been working so hard walking back and forth, and you only give me ten yuan?! Dream on! I should have sold you off as a child bride back then. The Chen family only gave me thirty yuan as a bride price. I haven't enjoyed any of your good fortune these past few years. Now it's time for you to be filial to your old mother!"
He cursed and swore while pinching her arm without any politeness.
"No way! You have to give me at least twenty yuan!"
Li Chunhua did not back down at all; this was the bride price for her son's future marriage!
Seeing that her mother was clutching her pocket tightly and refusing to give her any more money, in desperation, she actually mustered up the courage to snatch it directly.
"You brat, how dare you lay a hand on me! I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Old Mrs. Li showed no mercy, pinching and kicking him.
