The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 408: Cruel (2)

Seeing Tang Xin's biological father, Tang Zhutou, holding his young son and sitting silently in the corner, his heart was full of pity for Tang Xin, who had not said a word from beginning to end.

Meeting such a cruel stepmother and a cowardly father is really bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Tang Xin lowered her head and listened to the two women bargaining indifferently. She remained silent from beginning to end, only looking up at the door from time to time, as if she was not the one who was about to be sold.

Tang Yushi looked at the twenty taels of silver in Yu's mother's hand with salivation, but she was not satisfied in her heart: "Mother Yu, not to mention the good looks of my daughter, I have spent a lot of money to feed and clothe her for so many years. Twenty Two silver coins... is too little!"

Yu’s mother played with the silver ingots and asked with a half-smile: “How many do you want?”

 “Forty taels!”

Tang Yushi blurted out, obviously this number has been brewing in her heart for a long time.

"Forty taels?" Mother Yu stopped her smile: "I am willing to give you twenty taels because we have the same surname. You doubled it with just one mouthful. You are so insincere, but you still call me ma'am. Come here, you are making fun of me, huh?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two burly men standing behind Yu's mother rushed up and glared at Tang Yushi fiercely, as if they would beat her if she disagreed.

The actions of the two men not only frightened Tang Yushi, but also shocked the surrounding villagers. Tang Zhutou was about to step forward with his youngest son in his arms. One of the big men noticed it and glared at him fiercely, gesturing with his fists and not allowing him to get closer.

Tang Zhutou was timid and cowardly at first, but when he saw the other party's posture, he immediately shrank.

"Yu, mom, if you have something to say, we can discuss the price, but twenty taels is really, really too little!" Tang Yushi was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she didn't even think of it. The other party will be tough, and I immediately regret that I shouldn't have said the price too high, which has offended everyone.

Seeing that Mrs. Tang Yu was still sensible, Mother Yu snorted coldly, raised her hand and waved away the two thugs, "I see it's not easy for you to raise a daughter, and I'm not the one who wants to take advantage of money. , I will give you another five taels of silver, twenty-five taels can be exchanged for a large brick house!"

Tang Yushi had been threatened before, and she was already timid. Now that Yu's mother suddenly added five taels of silver, she was so happy that she didn't dare to say anything. She responded repeatedly: "Twenty-five taels is good." , only twenty-five taels, Mama Yu is such a kind person!"

Honest person? Mother Yu sneered coldly, her expression particularly sarcastic. But the price was agreed upon, and I could make a lot of money on this trip, so I felt better. She smiled and took out a piece of deed paper from her sleeve, and took out five taels of silver and put them together with the first twenty taels of silver, and said to Tang Yu: "You just need to put your fingerprint on this paper, and these silvers will be It’s yours.”

Tang Xin suddenly raised his head and stared at the deed, his whole heart twisted into a ball nervously.

 Why haven’t you come yet? Why haven’t you come yet? Isn’t the Mo family coming? Are you regretting it?

Tang Xin's eyes turned red when she thought of this possibility. She would not accept her fate and would never let these two disgusting women manipulate her!

At this time, Mrs. Tang Yu focused all her attention on a few silver ingots. It was natural to say what others said: "Okay, okay, I will press it now, I will press it now!"

With that said, he excitedly walked up to Yu’s mother, stretched out his thumb and dipped it in the ink pad, and was about to press it on the deed paper.

Tang Xin saw this and was about to take action to stop Tang Yushi. At this time, a gentle and anxious voice came from outside: "Wait a minute -"

Those two short words successfully interrupted Tang Yushi's movements. She turned her head and subconsciously looked at the door, wondering who was stopping her from selling her daughter.

For the tormented Tang Xin, it was like the sound of nature, and her heart on the verge of a cliff was instantly saved.

It’s Mo Xiucai, why is he here?

The villagers turned their heads in unison. When they saw that the person coming was Mo Qingze, they spontaneously moved out of the way. They were all surprised: Could it be that Mo Xiucai came to stop the Tang family from selling their girls?

Mo Qingze didn't have time to say hello to the villagers, so he hurried to the house and saw the deed paper in Tang Yu's hand at a glance. He was relieved when he saw that there was no red fingerprint on it.

Mo Yan came in with her brothers and sisters. Seeing this scene, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was in time!

Mo's house is close to the mountainside, which is quite a distance from the village. Tang's house is farther to the north. Now there is snow everywhere, which makes it difficult to walk, so it delays a little time.

Seeing the Mo family, Tang Xin seemed to have a backbone and leaned closer unconsciously. At this time, her left hand felt warm and was held by another soft hand. When she looked up, she saw Xin'er smiling at her.

"Don't worry, my dad will help you!" Xin'er held her good sister's hand and comforted her in a low voice.

 “Yeah!” Tang Xin nodded fiercely, his eyes a little moist.

Tang Yushi was very puzzled when she saw who the visitor was. Seeing Mo Qingze staring at the deed paper in her hand, she couldn't help but be wary secretly. However, it is natural for her as a mother to sell her daughter, and not even the King of Heaven can control her.

However, considering Mo Qingze's status as a scholar and his high reputation in the village, she did not dare to be too presumptuous and asked in a polite tone: "Mr. Mo, what are you..."

Before Mo Qingze could answer, Mother Yu on the side rushed to speak. She urged Tang Yushi impatiently: "You have something to discuss later. You press this fingerprint first. I have to lead others to rush." Back to the city!"

She didn't know Mo Qingze's identity, but she had an intuition that this person was here to cause trouble. It's not easy to find a girl with good color, and she doesn't want to be easily ruined.

“Okay, okay, mom, please wait a little longer, I’ll press the button right now!”

Tang Yushi also felt that the silver was important, so she hurriedly agreed. Just as she was about to press the button with her thumb stained with ink pad, the deed paper disappeared as soon as her hand was empty.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to cause trouble?" Yu's mother stared angrily at Mo Qingze, who was holding the deed paper, and she was already sure in her heart that he was here to block her way of making money.

The two burly men rushed up and surrounded Mo Qingze with evil expressions.

Mo Qingze stood there, not afraid at all. He looked past his mother and looked at Tang Zhutou, who was huddled in the corner, with a look of pity and helplessness: "Qingze wants to find a companion for his little daughter. She likes Miss Tang San very much. I don't know. Brother Tang, are you willing to give up your love?"
