Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 652 Episode 3 Wu Neng sells his daughter
Shandong Commandery.

Qianhu Wu Neng's family was not wealthy. Because Wu Neng was an honest official, did not know how to flatter, and hated evil, he was soon ostracized by his colleagues.

In the end, Wu Qianhu couldn't stand the darkness of officialdom and chose to resign in anger.

I haven't received much salary from my work in the officialdom over the years, and my family is getting worse day by day. The little salary I have saved is almost gone.

However, to make matters worse, their youngest son was seriously ill and needed a lot of money for treatment.

There was no money at home at all. Captain Wu had a bad relationship with his colleagues and could not borrow any money at all. His wife, Yao, was greedy for money and had a bad relationship with her neighbors, let alone borrowing money from him. Even his own relatives refused to lend him money.

It was late at night, the lights were dim, and the candles were swaying in the wind. In the bedroom, looking at her little son lying in pain beside her, Yao cried and wiped her tears.

"Master, this is the only son of the Wu family! We have only this one son. What will we do if something happens to him?"

Wu Neng was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said, "I will go ask the senior officials in the Dusi tomorrow. After all, they were my superiors in the past."

Yao shook her head and said, "Master, don't you understand? If they were willing to lend you money, they would have done so long ago. They haven't expressed their willingness until now. It's clear that they are unwilling to lend you money."

"I have a solution that is not a solution."

Wu Neng said: "What method?"

Yao gritted her teeth and said, "Sell Shuxian."

"You are crazy!"

Wu Neng yelled, "That's our daughter. Are you going to sell her? You are her biological mother!"

Yao snorted, "Do you think I want to? If you had been more motivated, why wouldn't we be able to come up with ten taels of silver?"

"When I asked you to be an official before, you should be with them. Don't try to act noble. You didn't listen. Who among your colleagues didn't have a hundred or eighty taels of silver? Only you, you are still a thousand households! A thousand households!"

"You don't even have ten taels of silver? What's the use of fighting hard in the past? What's the use of making contributions on the battlefield? This is the officialdom, which is different from the battlefield. You have been a thousand households for less than three months, and you resigned from the position. I told you not to be so willful, but you didn't listen. Your heart is on your son's illness and you need money. If you don't treat him, then wait for him to die!"

"Do you think I don't know Shuxian is my daughter? If I had a way, would I sell my own daughter?"

"What else can you do? Watch your son die?"

Wu Neng sat blankly on a small stool beside the bed, looking at his little son lying in pain on the bed, his heart was extremely conflicted.

But Shuxian is also his daughter. How could he bear to sell his own daughter?

Wu Neng, ah Wu Neng, you are so incompetent!
Back then on the battlefield, you killed so many enemies, won meritorious service, and were awarded the title of a thousand households. But you were unwilling to go along with those people in officialdom. What was the result?
Who punished them? They are still alive and well, but you, a great lord of a thousand households, can't even cure your own son's illness, and you ended up selling your daughter!
"Find a reliable family and buy it back for Shuxian when you have money in the future!"

Wu Neng left after saying this.

Yao sighed, "How much money can a reliable family give?"

"Only if you sell it to people like musicians will they pay a high price!"

Selling her to a musician would mean that her daughter would become a prostitute or a slave in the future, but what else could she do? She couldn't just watch her son die.

Yao found Wu Shuxian and whispered, "Shuxian, you should live with your distant cousins ​​during this period. Dad and Mom have to take your brother to a distant medical treatment and can't take you with them."

"You have to be obedient, understand?" Wu Shuxian nodded meekly and said, "Okay! Mom, cure my brother's illness as soon as possible and take me back as soon as possible!"

Yao wiped her tears and said, "Hey, okay!"

Early the next morning, Yao brought Wu Shuxian to Jinan Prefecture, where she sold her to the music-lover Zhang.

Zhang gave Yao ten taels of silver, and then took Wu Shuxian away from Jinan Prefecture.

This little girl has great potential and is very pretty. If she is nurtured, she will definitely make a lot of money for herself in the future!

Yao took the ten taels of silver and returned home. Wu Neng hurriedly asked Yao, "Where did you sell it to Shuxian?"

Yao smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. They are a decent family. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's take our son to see a doctor. His illness cannot be delayed."

"it is good!"

After having money, Yao's youngest son's illness was quickly under control, but the family was still poor and destitute.

Wu Neng asked Yao: "Where is Shuxian? Tell me, can I just go and take a look at her secretly? After all, she is my biological daughter!"

Wu Neng would always nag about these things every day. Yao was really annoyed by them and said to Wu Neng, "Look! What are you looking at?"

"It was sold to a musician. It's no longer in Shandong. I don't know where it was taken to!"

Wu Neng was horrified and angrily said, "You! You actually sold Shuxian to the musicians? You wanted Shuxian to be a prostitute! How could you have the heart to do that? Who allowed you to do that?"

Snapped!
Wu Neng slapped Yao in the face, his expression very gloomy.

Yao covered her face and cried, "Who allowed me to do this? Wasn't it you? Do you know how much it costs for ordinary families to buy a child? You don't care about anything every day, and let me take care of everything. Ordinary people only offer 5 taels of silver, and this is the most!"

"If you sell your son, he would be worth a lot, but how much can a girl sell for?"

"How can we get so much money if we don't sell it to the musicians? If you are capable, would I let my daughter suffer?"

"Hit me, hit me, hit me to death, and act like a man!"

"If you are a real man, go and earn money! Go and earn ten taels of silver, and maybe you can redeem Shuxian now."

"But do you have the ability? If you really had the ability, our family wouldn't have fallen into such a state!"

"Wu Neng! You still have a choice now. Go sell your son. He is valuable. Use the money from selling him to buy your daughter back!"

"You go, I don't care about what's going on at home, you make the decision, go now!"

Wu Neng clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, his face turned pale and blue, he clenched his teeth, and finally spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Master, Master! What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?!"

"Don't let anything happen to you. We don't have the money to pay for your medical treatment! Master, please wake up!"
