The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

The servant looked at Lan Qinghe's winking eyes and instantly understood what he meant. He rolled his eyes and responded with a smile.

Lan Qinghe took the twenty-liang silver note in his hand, hid it, and took old Mrs. Lan home. Although the You family did not pursue the matter, the old lady still committed the crime of not destroying invalid documents and was beaten with ten boards. She cried all the way and was pushed home on a cart found by Lan Qinghe.

Lan Qinghe took advantage of his mother being unable to move and took off her outer coat, finding a lot of silver and land deeds, which made the old lady so angry that she burst into tears.

Both Lan Zhaozhao and Lan Duoduo were woken up, but only Lan Zhaozhao came out and pretended to care about the old lady.

Because she is a girl, unlike her younger brother, she can only try to please the old lady more.

The girl trotted along with an anxious and worried look on her face. When she met Lan Qinghe's ambiguous eyes after entering the room, she couldn't continue to act. The room was in a mess, with pieces of clothes and quilts scattered everywhere. She took a step back in fear.

"Dad, what is this for?"

Lan Qinghe approached her, and Lan Zhaozhao asked in a low voice with a trembling voice.

"Zhaozhao, Daddy owes money outside. Daddy has raised you for so long, you have to help Daddy pay it back."

"father!"

Lan Zhaozhao suddenly felt that she had come out at the wrong time. Her mother had gone back to her parents' home, and she didn't know who else to turn to for help.

She turned around and ran outside, but before she had taken two steps, she was grabbed by Lan Qinghe's big hand. He waved his hand and slapped her in the face, causing the girl to fall to the ground.

"Run, why are you running? I gave birth to you, so you should do whatever I tell you to do. Didn't you hear what your grandma said? It's only natural for a grandma to sell her granddaughter. I have your household registration in my hands, so where can you run to?"

Lan Zhaozhao never expected that the thing she planned to do to Lan Wangshu would happen to herself. At this moment, she was regretting it so much that she should have knocked the man unconscious and sent him to the brothel to avoid the subsequent incidents that would implicate herself.

"Dad, I will work hard to earn money. I can also clean the yard, wash clothes and cook. Without me, who will take care of you?"

"My dear girl, that's twenty taels of silver."

There was no wavering in Lan Qinghe's eyes. He reached out and touched Lan Zhaozhao's face, his eyes full of greed. He also had to thank Lan Wangshu and Lan Luochen very much, otherwise how could he sell Lan Zhaozhao at such a high price.

His heart was as clear as a mirror. If he missed this opportunity, he would never get it again.

"Dad, please, don't."

Lan Zhaozhao crawled up from the ground in a panic and knelt on the ground. With such a high price, she would definitely not survive, otherwise who would be so stupid as to buy a human being.

"Don't worry, Dad will send you to a wealthy family as a concubine, and you can live a good life."

Lan Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment. A wealthy family, a concubine, twenty taels. She pinched Lan Qinghe's trouser leg and began to tremble. The tears in her big eyes dissipated a lot, and there was more disbelief.

She didn't go to the county, but she could find out everything about the village under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

"Dad, do you want me to marry in place of Lan Wangshu?"

"Why are you unhappy? Wasn't this your idea?"

Lan Qinghe gave Lan Zhaozhao a cold look. How could he not understand his mother? They had been living together day and night for decades. The old lady was just hot-tempered and was bad in an open way. How could she have thought of this method? Apart from her daughter, who else could hate Lan Wangshu so much and make the old lady obedient?

Lan Qinghe thought of the first time the two sisters met, when Lan Qingshan was still alive and Lan Wangshu was wearing beautiful clothes, with delicate features and fair skin. She was obviously a girl from the city.

Lan Zhaozhao has always thought that she is the most beautiful, and she can't help feeling jealous when she sees Lan Wangshu like this. After Lan Qingshan is gone, she becomes even more unrestrained. Lan Qinghe sees it all, but it has nothing to do with him and he doesn't want to care.

It’s different now. Lan Zhaozhao has a lot of little thoughts in his mind. He doesn’t think his daughter will be good to him in the future, so his decision to sell her for money this time is unwavering.

It is better to exchange it for twenty taels of silver than to keep a person who may not be valuable in the future.

Lan Zhaozhao felt a little frustrated. She never expected that after all her planning, she would be the one to suffer the consequences in the end.

She was not convinced. Why was Lan Wangshu so lucky? But there was no point in being convinced. Lan Qinghe pinched her jaw and forced her to open her mouth.

I didn’t know what was stuffed into her mouth. Her consciousness became more and more blurred, and soon she knew nothing.

The next day, when Mrs. Lan learned the news, she didn't react much. She had been pampering Lan Zhaozhao for so long because she wanted her to marry a good family. She didn't send Lan Wangshu away, so it was a shared goal. The ten beatings were not in vain.

Thinking of the silver and the land deed, she looked at Lan Qinghe with a displeased expression.

Lan Qinghe immediately burst into tears and described how cruel the people in the gambling house were and how he was forced into a corner.

"Mom, I really have no other choice. If I die, what will you do when you are old?"
