Chapter 191 Ten taels of silver to buy Gu Tang

Li was moved by what the father and daughter said, but she still wanted to do a business without any capital investment...

But if we want to do a business with no capital, the Gu family will become a bit of an eyesore.

Li pondered for a moment, pretending to be hesitant, and asked, "Name a price. If the price is right... I will take the risk. If the price is too high, then forget it."

These words choked Mr. Gu so much that he could only stare blankly.

How does this make him offer?

He had never sold anyone before and didn't know the market price. If he asked for a low price, he would suffer a loss, but if he asked for a high price, Li would not be willing to pay. This was really a dilemma!

After being stunned for a while, Mr. Gu glanced at his wife sitting on the bed again.

When it comes to buying and selling people, my wife has also experienced it.

Maybe he is more knowledgeable than him.

"My dear?" Old Master Gu called softly, his voice neither too loud nor too low, just right for Feng to hear.

Feng turned her face away, deliberately not wanting to get involved in this matter.

But her old man's eyes were fixed on her, making her feel soft-hearted and lose her temper.

After a stalemate, Feng compromised.

She said with a sullen face, "Take out ten taels of silver now, and Si Ya will be yours!"

Ten taels of silver?

hehe!

Li was not very satisfied with the price.

Although she could get at least five times the price by reselling it, in the past she would have immediately agreed to the deal with a smile.

But at this moment she had other thoughts. The ten taels were beyond her expectations. She looked unhappy and shook her head to refuse the offer.

"If you want this price, then you should find another buyer. Ten taels of silver? With ten taels of silver, I can buy four or five girls in the mountains!"

"What's wrong with buying four or five girls? Once you sell them, all of them together won't be worth as much as the four girls!" Feng sneered, knowing that Li was intentionally trying to lower the price.

When she looked at Si Ya just now, her face was filled with surprise and her eyeballs almost fell to the ground!

What's the use of forgetting it or not? It's all just fooling people. I'm afraid you have other plans in mind.

Feng was not afraid of Li, and she told her directly: "You know it very well in your heart. Ten taels sounds like a lot, but I really didn't ask for much. Si Ya is really worth this price! If you resell it, the price can be multiplied several times.

I know you have some tricks and plans, so don't have any other thoughts about what happened today. If we sell Si Ya to you, no one will know about it.

But if you refuse today, and something happens to Si Ya in the future, or she disappears, I will hold you responsible!

Don't blame me for being cruel. I will definitely have a good talk with my second son about what happened today. No matter how worthless the second son's family is, they are still my flesh and blood. If they are to be sold, I should be the one to sell them! No one else can dare to touch them."

These words made Li's face turn pale and blue. She felt ashamed and annoyed. She wished she could just walk away and not get involved in Gu family's affairs!

But when she thought of the huge sum of silver, she felt as if she had taken root and didn't want to leave at all.

Even though she seemed to have a comfortable life in recent years, in fact, that was just on the surface and her life was not actually that good.

She was in the human trafficking business. She couldn't get the girls from good families, and she didn't have the money to pay someone to kidnap people secretly. She could only search for them on her own, and the girls she came into contact with were all from farm families in the mountains.

Girls from farm families could not be sold at a high price. After selling a girl, after deducting the cost of hiring the seller, what actually remained in the pocket of the buyer was only one or two taels of silver.

These two taels may seem like a lot, but the men and children in the family, as well as the mother-in-law and father-in-law, all depend on these two taels of silver to spend!

Especially since last year, her eldest and second sons have all gone to school, and the expenses have increased several times, making money increasingly scarce.

Take this year for example, it is even more like eating up the food for the next year in the current year.

After working hard for a year, not only was I left with nothing, but I also spent a lot of my own pocket money!

If this continues, she's afraid she'll really be left with nothing.

She thought it would always be like this, but she didn't expect to meet Gu Si Ya today.

No matter how she says she dislikes this troublesome matter, the fact is, she wants to take this business more than anyone else!

If she took this business, the money she earned would allow her to live comfortably for a year.

Faced with so much silver and being extremely short of it, Li naturally wanted to bypass the Gu family and monopolize all the silver.

But what Feng said just now was a heavy blow to her.

Bypass the Gu family?

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Li calmed down and then smiled at Feng: "Mrs. Feng has seen the world, don't bother with me, a loser. We are all relatives. If I don't take this business, how can I face my second sister-in-law in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room immediately eased.

The corners of Mr. Gu's tense mouth relaxed, Gu Liansheng laughed, and Gu Zhier looked proud.

As for Feng, she snorted lightly. She was also very pleased with Li's surrender.

Li ignored the Gu family's reaction and said to herself, "As you wish, I will pay ten taels of silver to buy your Si Ya. But there is one thing, you two elders have to sign the contract to sell Si Ya."

"Didn't you just say that since Si Ya was adopted, this indenture would be invalid even if signed? If it's invalid, why do you want us to sign it?"

Li's expression remained normal, only her smile deepened: "You don't know, maids with indentures are very easy to sell, and those without indentures are generally not willing to be bought by anyone, because they are afraid of causing trouble.

You two elders signed a contract to sell me. I know it's fake, but outsiders don't know it? Then I can use this contract to fool others and sell Si Ya as soon as possible, so as not to keep her in my hands for a long time and cause trouble..."

Feng didn't know much about this, but she remembered that when she was sold, the human trafficker also forced her parents to sign a contract to sell her.

What Li said should be true.

"The contract of sale should be signed. It will make you feel at ease and so will we. But the money..."

"Once you sign the contract to sell your body, I will give you the silver immediately!" Li took out two silver ingots from his sleeves, one weighing five taels, and the other two weighing exactly ten taels.

As soon as the white silver appeared, it attracted all the attention of the Gu family. They all stared greedily at the silver in Li's hand, not even willing to blink.

"Boss!" Old Man Gu's breathing became heavier. He hurriedly grabbed Gu Liansheng's arm and asked him to go out and borrow pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"The innkeeper has some pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Go borrow some and let's quickly write the indenture contract so as not to delay your sister Li's subsequent work..."

Gu Liansheng was very easy to use at this time. He responded with a few words and hurried out of the house.

Not long after, he returned with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread them on the table, and planned to write the indenture himself.

Only by writing it yourself can you relieve the anger in your heart.

Li was afraid that he would write nonsense or make mistakes, so she told him the words of selling one's body that were commonly used by human traffickers and asked him to write according to what she said.
