Chapter 481 Then it's her.
The middle-aged couple glanced at Sanni, and seeing that she was healthy and pretty, they immediately smiled with satisfaction and asked kindly, "Sanni, right? How old are you this year? How many years have you been in school?"
“Yes, she’s nine years old and has been in school for a year,” Sanni answered softly.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged couple exchanged a glance, their faces showing some hesitation.
They felt the time was too short and wanted someone who could teach their youngest son to read and write.
Seeing this, Li Chunhua quickly said, "Sanni is smart; she ranked fifth in the class on the final exam!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged couple nodded and made their decision: "Alright, she's the one!"
He took out money from the inside of his old coat, counted out ten large reunion bills, and gave them to Old Lady Li: "It's a promise, one hundred yuan!"
"Mom! You're lying to me?!" Li Chunhua stared at her wide-eyed, immediately realizing what was happening.
They probably didn't offer fifty dollars; they likely said one hundred dollars from the beginning!
How could her mother just take away thirty yuan like that!
If my in-laws and Jianye find out that I sold Sanni, I'll get a severe beating!
Old Mrs. Li put the money in her pocket and said confidently, "I was the one who made the connection. Otherwise, how would you have gotten so much money? You deserve a little reward for your hard work!"
If this brat hadn't been such a coward and hadn't refused at first, she could have gotten fifty yuan!
After exchanging a few words, Sanni sensed something was wrong from their conversation, dropped what she was holding, and turned to run away.
But Old Lady Li grabbed him with lightning speed: "What are you standing there for?! Come and catch him! If he gets away, you'll lose your seventy yuan!"
Li Chunhua immediately stepped forward to help.
"Help! Help! Someone help me! Waaah!" Sanni cried out for help as she was being held captive, a wave of fear washing over her.
When she heard Old Lady Li mention something about a child bride, she felt something was wrong. They were going to sell her off to someone as a child bride!
However, Old Lady Li was already prepared. As soon as she saw her calling for help, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and covered her mouth.
"What are you doing?!" A kind-hearted passerby heard the shouts and stepped forward to defend them.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Sanni's eyes as she struggled frantically, whimpering, "Waaah! Waaah!!!"
Unfortunately, Old Lady Li, hands on her hips, angrily chased them away: "What's it to you! We're her own mother and grandmother, don't meddle! The child is disobedient and won't come home, so we'll take her back to discipline her. It's none of your business, get out!!"
"Waaah!" Sanni shook her head violently, struggling desperately, her eyes filled with panic and pleading.
She didn't want to be sold to someone as a child bride!
Grandma Li exerted more force and said with a "kind" look on her face, "Sanni, don't struggle anymore. We're just sending you to someone else's home to live a better life!"
That brat really eats well; she's so strong, I almost couldn't catch her!
Li Chunhua also earnestly advised, "Yes, Sanni, your grandmother is right. Their family is much better off than ours. You're going there to live a better life. After you go, you must take good care of your parents-in-law. Once things are better, you can come back and visit us."
Judging from how easily they spend a hundred dollars, they must be living a good life.
Once Sanni has a good life, she'll understand her good intentions, and maybe she'll even bring back some nice things to thank her!
Sanni's eyes turned extremely angry and filled with hatred after hearing what they said.
