I have to figure out a way to sell these two girls tomorrow.

By then, the huge sum of 800 taels of silver will be in their pockets.

As long as the county magistrate has money to earn, he will not have to worry about not having extra income from commissions.

Everywhere here is a smooth road to wealth.

Jin Tiantian did not ignore the pair of green eyes of the master before he left.

They are being remembered.

Very good, I don’t have to worry about thieves, I just have to worry about others not knowing!

The next day, after selling the cakes, Jin Tiantian and Bai Zhi went to Jishui Pharmacy and Incense Shop. After delivering the goods, they followed Old Man Xue’s ox cart back. It was already noon.

Before anyone had time to enter the courtyard, a kind-hearted neighbor, Huang Afang, came running and told Jin Tiantian the news.

"Oh no, sweet girl, your good days are coming to an end, your mother is back!"

Jin Tiantian was shocked: "???"

?_?who?!

Jin Tiantian thought she had heard it wrong and asked again tentatively.

"My mother?"

"Yes, isn't she your mother? I heard that she was bought by a kind-hearted person and then released."

"He walked all night without eating or resting."

Okay, now I'm sure I heard it right.

Jin Tiantian's face turned dark. Damn, which kind-hearted person would do such a wicked thing and release that old bitch Liu Xiu'e?

Aren't you just bored and have nothing to do?

With her mother criticizing her in her heart but a smile on her face, Jin Tiantian asked in surprise.

"Aunt Huang, is my mother the only one who came back? Have my father and the others come back?"

"That's right. Your mother was the only one who came back. As soon as she came back, she shouted that she wanted to report to the authorities. The head of the village asked her who kidnapped her, but she didn't know. She just said that someone drugged her and she didn't see the kidnapper. When she woke up, she was locked in the slave market in a big iron cage."

Jin Tiantian couldn't wait to say.

"Aunt Huang, where is my mother? I'll go see her right away."

"He's at the village head's house, go quickly."

Seeing Jin Tiantian running away excitedly, Huang Afang sighed.

I thought the child had a good life, but unexpectedly her mother who had tortured her came back again.

Look how happy this child is, but this is not a good thing.

Bai Zhi was just surprised when she heard that. Her face looked calm but her heart was a little heavy.

Although Jin Tiantian's mother didn't know who kidnapped her, as long as a pair of testimonies came back that were different from what Jin Tiantian said at the beginning, it would be known that Jin Tiantian was lying.

By then, it is inevitable that they will be traced back to them!

At that time, Liu Xiu'e, who was at the headman's house, heard from the headman that except for Jin Tiantian, no one was left in the family because of the abduction, and that the house and fields were taken away by the Song family. She cried even harder.

"My family! My sons and daughters, a good family is broken up just like that, damn those human traffickers!"

Before Jin Tiantian even entered the door, she heard Liu Xiu'e crying and wiping her tears.

After being kidnapped, you are still so energetic?

Do you still have the energy to scold her?

Ah!

Jin Tiantian paused, then lifted the curtain and walked in.

Today she's going to sing a big one!

As soon as she entered the door, Jin Tiantian started to perform loudly.

"Mom, you're finally back. I thought you'd never come back in this lifetime. You've suffered so much!"

Liu Xiu'e pushed away Jin Tiantian who was throwing herself on her and stared at her. She had a lot of resentment that she had nowhere to vent, so she took it out on Jin Tiantian. She beat Jin Tiantian hard and cursed her angrily.

"I am suffering, but my whole family is suffering, and you are the only one who is enjoying the good life."

"Why was it my daughters and sons who were kidnapped instead of you, a little bastard? God is so blind!"

There was a ferocious look in Jin Tiantian's eyes, and murderous intent was already in her heart.

He seized the loophole in Liu Xiu'e's words and stared at her in surprise.

"Mom, what do you mean by that? Am I not your daughter? You speak as if I am not your daughter. Aren't you hurting me?"

Even Li Xiangrong and Fan Qiujuan, who were standing nearby and sighing, could sense something wrong with the words.

Seeing Liu Xiu'e's indignant expression, Fan Qiujuan frowned. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something fishy about what she said!

"No, Sister Xiu'e, how can you say this to your daughter?"

"Didn't you give birth to this sweet girl after ten months of pregnancy?"

"Why do you deserve to suffer? Why do you have such a big grudge against the sweet girl?"

Liu Xiu'e knew that she had said the wrong thing. A look of guilt flashed across her face and she avoided the words with her eyes.

Instead, he angrily slapped Jin Tiantian and changed the subject while cursing.

"You stupid girl! You were the one who said you wanted to marry Widow Song. Why don't you come in? The Song family has taken away all our houses and lands."

"This is all your fault. What do you think we should do?"

When the village head saw Liu Xiu'e treating Jin Tiantian so harshly, he couldn't bear it and couldn't help but speak up.

"It's understandable that the child ran away in the middle of the night. Song Tiechu died the next morning, and the child would be a widow as soon as she got married. Aren't you wasting her life? Why did you torture your daughter like this for ten taels of silver?"

"Is this child your own? How can you torture your own daughter like this? Jin Liushi, I think you really care about money and not people!"

Liu Xiu'e's old face was stunned, and she suddenly raised her head and stared at Li Xiangrong.

"Brother Li, what did you say? She ran away in the middle of the night? When did she run away in the middle of the night? She had been staying at home until the middle of the night—"

Didn't the whole family have tea together in the second half of the night? Where did it go?

After Jin Tiantian offered her tea, she felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.

She had no idea what was happening and when she woke up she was locked in an iron cage in the slave market.

She cried out to the sky and the earth, but no one answered her call. She was beaten whenever she cried or howled.

I can't even eat enough.

Before the head of the village could say anything, Liu Xiu'e slapped her thigh suddenly, as if she realized something, and pointed at Jin Tiantian's nose and cursed.

"Well, you ungrateful bastard, I raised you for nothing, and this is how you hurt me? You actually teamed up with human traffickers to kidnap my whole family! You damned bastard!"

Liu Xiu'e didn't care about anything anymore and rushed towards Jin Tiantian in anger, looking like she was going to kill her!

Jin Tiantian quickly hid behind the village head and shouted while pretending to be forbearing.

"Mom, please don't force me. I have already considered the reputation of this family. What if you still force me?"

"Do you have to force me to make the truth public?"

"When the time comes, no one who knows the truth will survive."

"It would be fine if I was the only one killed, but how could I harm the people in our village? And drag everyone to be buried with me?"
