The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter

Dou Yong couldn't wrap his mind around what was going on for a while.

It’s not that he is stupid, it’s just that Mrs. Fu’s idea is too... too bold, too absurd!

Is this something a human could come up with?

Dou Yong himself would never have been able to come up with such an idea.

From this point of view, Mrs. Fu is really a talented person.

Old Man Fu and Ah Xiang, who were standing by, were nothing but shocked. Both father and daughter were really unable to utter a word.

They just watched Old Lady Fu perform quietly.

Of course, this is not the end.

At the beginning, Old Lady Fu asked Dou Yong for thirty taels of silver, but now if Dou Yong sold himself to the Fu family, it would only be worth twenty taels of silver.

There is still a gap of ten taels. What should I do?

So, Mrs. Fu continued.

"There's still a shortfall of ten taels of silver, so you need to figure out a solution yourself. Either you abort the child, and then you can sign a contract with me and take the child away. Or you can give me ten taels of silver, and I won't abort the child in Ah Xiang's belly."

Old Mrs. Fu is such a mean person.

She is really bad, bad to the core.

Not only does Old Lady Fu want Dou Yong to be her slave for the rest of his life, she doesn't even want him to live in peace.

Since he dared to betray her, she would never let him go.

How could she let Dou Yong take Ah Xiang away so easily and then the two of them live so sweetly together?

She couldn't bear to see that.

So this step is also part of her plan.

If Dou Yong chose to abort the baby in Ah Xiang's belly, there would definitely be a grudge between the two of them, and they would never be able to get over it in their lifetime.

If Dou Yong was really willing to raise these ten taels of silver for Ah Xiang, their lives would definitely not be any better in the future.

Poor and humble couples are sad.

They are making a lot of noise.

Now, it depends on how they choose.

Fu Axiang didn't expect that her parents would actually give in now.

Ten taels, just ten taels of silver, and she could stay with Dou Yong and her children forever and live happily for the rest of their lives.

She was only ten taels of silver away from her happiness.

So, Fu Axiang looked at Dou Yong with anticipation.

Dou Yong was really in a dilemma for a moment.

There was nothing wrong with signing the contract with his cousin. He and his cousin had been living like this for so many years, and his cousin was pretty good to him.

It was these ten taels of silver that really made him feel troubled.

If she didn't get these ten taels of silver together, the baby in Ah Xiang's belly would be gone.

He was really looking forward to the birth of this child.

Although Ah Xiang is young and in good health, even if this baby was aborted, she probably will still be able to give birth again in the future.

But if this baby is a boy, wouldn't he have killed his own son with his own hands?

When he thought of this, Dou Yong felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

He is not young anymore, he must have a son with his last name. His cousin will not have any more children, even if she can, he thinks she doesn't want to have any more.

Just collect these ten taels of silver.

Where can he get together?

It's good enough that he has two taels of silver on him now.

On the one hand, Dou Yong wanted a son, but on the other hand, he felt that the other party was his cousin after all, so he couldn't be so cruel, right?

So he searched his body and found two taels of silver.

After a slight hesitation, he handed the money to Mrs. Fu.

"Cousin, this is all the money I have now. How about I give you this much first, and I'll pay you back the rest slowly later."

Dou Yong had a good idea in his mind. After all, she was his cousin, so if he delayed it, who knows what would happen.

But it was obvious that Mrs. Fu had already anticipated this and did not intend to give Dou Yong this opportunity.

If this matter ended like this, then what was the point of all the preparations she had made before?

Of course, Mrs. Fu would not let this go.

So she immediately rejected Dou Yong's proposal and pushed back the money that Dou Yong handed over.

"No, you have to think it over carefully. Either you give me ten taels at once, or I will abort the baby in Xiang's belly."

Mrs. Fu's words were very decisive, and it was clear that there was no room for maneuver.

Seeing this, Dou Yong withdrew his hand and fell into thought.

Should I collect the ten taels of silver or not?

When Dou Yong's parents were still alive, they prepared 700 to 800 taels of money for him to marry a daughter-in-law.

But Dou Yong had already squandered all of it over the years.

Now, all of Dou Yong's belongings, apart from the two taels of silver he had on him, consisted of a thatched hut and a few acres of land in the village.

The land is just ordinary land. It has been abandoned for so many years that no one knows what it looks like.

I guess it won’t fetch much money.

As for the house at home, it is our root and cannot be sold.

Dou Yong did some calculations in his mind. If he sold the acres of land at home, plus the money he had on hand, he would probably have five or six taels of silver. If he borrowed a little more, he would have ten taels.

If he thinks of a way, he can pay back five or six taels of silver in about a year.

In this way, he had both a wife and a son.

Besides, Ah Xiang is hardworking, so she won't have to worry about having a bad life in the future.

Dou Yong fantasized about a better life in the future and quickly made up his mind.

He said, "Cousin, I will collect ten taels of silver and give it to you. Before that, you have to take good care of Ah Xiang and the baby in her belly."

After hearing this, Mrs. Fu nodded expressionlessly, but the smile in her eyes could hardly be concealed.

She could almost foresee the chaotic life that would follow between Dou Yong and Ah Xiang.

When Fu Axiang heard Dou Yong's words, she was so moved that she burst into tears on the spot.

She thought she had not made a mistake, she thought she had met someone who truly loved her.

A few days later, Dou Yong came with ten taels of silver just as he said.

After personally handing over ten taels of silver to Old Lady Fu, Dou Yong signed the contract to sell himself.

Afterwards, Mrs. Fu really let her take the pregnant Ah Xiang away.

When Ah Xiang and Dou Yong left that day, she even felt that the wind smelled of happiness.

The moment she and Dou Yong walked out of the Fu family's door, Ah Xiang said to herself in her heart that the days to come would be good days.

After Ah Xiang and Dou Yong left, they did have a pretty good time at first.

Ah Xiang was still young at that time, but she was capable and kept everything in order.

Even Dou Yong felt that his decision was right.

But as Ah Xiang got older, her body became heavier and she could no longer do many things.

Things started to go downhill from here.

Without Ah Xiang's support and care, the home soon returned to its "original" appearance.

Dou Yong was still able to do something at the beginning.

But as time went on, his laziness came into play and he would fish for three days and rest for two days.

There was even a time when the two of them didn't even have money to eat.

Ah Xiang wanted to push herself to go out to work, but one reason was that her body did not allow her to go that far, and another was that no one dared to let Ah Xiang work now.

So, Dou Yong, who was hungry and full, finally went to Fu's house.

He came to his cousin, Old Lady Fu, to ask for food.
