Chapter 180: Your Son Ought to Be Sold!
“No! No!”
She shook her head in panic and kept muttering “no”.
Finally, she seemed to have thought of something and looked up in An Jiuyue’s direction.
“An Jiuyue, hand Zheng’er over to me. I’m going to exchange him for Heizhuang. Hurry up and bring him over now!” she ordered An Jiuyue.
Everyone laughed mockingly when they heard her.
“Who does she think she is? Hand Zheng’er over? Is Zheng’er her family member?”
“She can only say that so easily if the child about to be sold is not her family’s. Look at how anxious she was when they took Heizhuang away. She’s already injured, but she’s still so energetic.”
The women chuckled and made sarcastic remarks. They were just short of munching on a packet of melon seeds.
Aunt Wang could not escape the disaster she had brought upon herself.
“Aunties, please stop talking about this. You can’t offend Aunt Wang. If you’re careless, one day, your children might…” An Jiuyue glanced in the direction of Aunt Wang.
Everyone was shocked by her words.
......
Since Aunt Wang cannot sell An Jiuyue’s son this time, will she capture our children in return for Heizhuang?
It might be possible! A woman like her will do anything.
“This won’t do. I have to go home and talk to my daughter-in-law. I’ll tell her not to work in the fields from tomorrow onwards and stay home to watch over the children so Aunt Wang won’t steal them.”
One of the women remarked, and the others agreed.
Aunt Wang was furious when she heard that. She wanted to sell An Jiuyue’s son because Ministry Councilor He was only interested in him. She would not want someone else’s son even if they gave him to her for free.
“An Jiuyue, stop spouting nonsense. Ministry Councilor He already said he only wants your child. Hurry up and bring Zheng’er over!” she shouted at An Jiuyue again.
“Aunt Wang.” An Jiuyue looked at Aunt Wang with a smile.
“Let me ask you something. What right do you have to sell my son? Give me one reason, hmm?”
“I…” Aunt Wang was at a loss for words.
That’s right. What right do I have? I’ve never thought about this before. When did I start thinking of selling him?
Oh, I remember now. It’s Aunt Kang. She kept telling me that An Jiuyue, a woman, cannot raise two sons.
She said selling one of An Jiuyue’s sons would help her—it’s an act of kindness.
Since then, I felt it was right to sell An Jiuyue’s son.
“It’s Aunt Kang! She said your son ought to be sold!”
She did not care about anything else and outed Aunt Kang. After all, Aunt Kang’s husband was the village’s Chief.
She thought she could use the Chief to overpower An Jiuyue and force her to hand Zheng’er over.
“An Jiuyue, Aunt Kang is the Chief’s wife. If you make her unhappy, the Chief might chase you out of the village!
“Hurry up and bring Zheng’er over. Aunt Kang said Zheng’er must be sold!”
