Chapter 148: They Will Like Him!
“Of course.” Aunt Wang nodded hurriedly.
She thought if she played along and coaxed Qian Yiyun a little, the latter would be willing to hand Zheng’er over. She wanted to have Zheng’er before An Jiuyue returned.
If An Jiuyue ever came looking for her about this, she could deny having anything to do with this.
She would have nothing to do with this if Zheng’er went missing on Qian Yiyun’s watch.
“Jiuyue is the most capable person in our village now. You can go to the village and find out about this, Miss Yiyun. Everyone knows that An Jiuyue—”
“If you know that Sister Jiuyue is your benefactor, how dare you target Zheng’er? Are you not afraid of getting struck by lightning?” Qian Yiyun interrupted.
She did not wish to waste her breath on her any longer.
“Was getting beaten up last time not enough for you? How dare you come here again to sell the children! Why don’t you sell your grandchildren? I think your grandson is quite cute. I’m sure that family in town will like him!”
“I…”
Aunt Wang’s heart trembled, and she did not know how to respond.
I didn’t expect An Jiuyue, that tattletale, to blabber to an outsider like Qian Yiyun.
Why did she even tell her? My family was so poor we had to resort to selling children—that’s a family scandal! How dare she blabber to an outsider!
“I… Miss Yiyun, I’m doing this for Jiuyue’s sake. It’s not easy for her to raise so many children, so I’m trying to lighten her burden.
“Besides, the family that likes Zheng’er is rich. Zheng’er will enjoy a happy life there. What’s wrong with that?
“Jiuyue will also earn money from this. The other children will have enough food and clothing in the future. She won’t have to worry about not having money to spend and food to eat anymore, right?
“I’m really doing this for Jiuyue’s sake. Otherwise, many families in our village want to sell their children. An Jiuyue won’t have this opportunity.”
She persuaded earnestly, sounding like she was really thinking for An Jiuyue. She almost believed herself.
“As if!” Qian Yiyun glared at Aunt Wang.
“Sister Jiuyue can easily hunt wild boars and other animals on the mountain and sell them in town. The money earned can last them for a few years. Does she need your ‘kindness’?
“You harbor dirty intentions, yet you speak so pompously. You’re really something.
“Since you’re so eloquent, why don’t you go to the teahouse to tell stories? You can definitely earn a lot of money. Why don’t I introduce you to someone? If a teahouse won’t have you, I’m sure brothels will!”
“You—” Aunt Wang’s face flushed red.
Why is this young lady so brutal with her words? I’ve really broadened my horizons.
“Miss Yiyun, I’m doing this for Jiuyue…”
“You’re still saying that? Do you think I don’t dare to get physical?”
When Qian Yiyun saw that Aunt Wang was about to counter, she attacked her at once. As long as she did not beat her to death, she saw it fitting to cause her to be bedridden for at least half a month.
