My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

These three siblings are all pale and thin.

Looking at the shack behind them, if Wang Po didn't have any professional ethics, she would have almost rolled her eyes.

Even if she is a concubine, she is not worthy of the son of Manager Wang.

However, since I have accepted the money from Manager Wang, I naturally have to do my job well.

Grandma Wang forced a fake smile and said, "Yes, I was sent by Shopkeeper Wang to propose marriage!"

Gu Lili's face turned cold instantly. Was there something wrong with this Shopkeeper Wang's brain?

At his age, he still dares to covet me.

Before Gu Lili could say anything, Gu Erniu stepped forward and cursed, "Bah! What kind of a person is Manager Wang? He is so old, but still so shameless!"

When Wang Po heard this, she rolled her eyes.

Although they misunderstood me, I was lucky enough that Manager Wang liked people like them.

Gu Erniu looked at Wang Po's expression and immediately handed the bowl in his hand to Gu Huanhuan.

He turned around and picked up the broom to sweep the yard, ready to give Wang Po a beating.

Grandma Wang was horrified and quickly explained, "No, no, no, it's not Shopkeeper Wang, it's Shopkeeper Wang's son!"

Only then did Gu Erniu put down the broom in his hand.

He looked at his sister, wondering what she was thinking.

In Gu Village, it is not uncommon for girls to get engaged at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

If my sister is willing, it would be a good idea for her to marry into Wang Fugui's family as his daughter-in-law.

Gu Lili said coldly, "I'm only thirteen years old and I don't want to get married yet!"

No matter whether it is Wang Fugui or his son, he cannot accept this kind of thing at all.

This body is only thirteen years old, which is totally contrary to Gu Lili's cognition.

Wang Po felt that Gu Lili was still shy, so she laughed and said, "Ah, men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. What is there to be shy about? Come on, call your master out, I'll talk to your master!"

Shopkeeper Wang said that he could give Gu Lili's family ten to fifteen taels of silver. If Gu Lili's parents knew about this, they would surely jump for joy.

Wang Po couldn't understand why someone like Gu Lili was worth so much money.

Even if he was buying a maid, it would be enough to buy two or three girls like Gu Lili.

"There are no adults in their family anymore, only four siblings." said Aunt Zhang on the side.

Aunt Zhang also felt that Gu Lili was shy, and was thinking about having a good chat with her later.

If this could be accomplished, I could become a rich lady in the city and no longer have to work in the fields for a living.

"No, sir, I'll tell you something! Shopkeeper Wang is willing to pay fifteen taels of silver to buy a concubine! If you have money, your brothers and sisters will have a better life. There's no need to refuse in a hurry!" said Grandma Wang earnestly.

Aunt Zhang was so shocked that her jaw dropped. Fifteen taels, what a joke.

Fifteen taels can buy your life.

Fifteen taels of silver, if your family lives frugally and also ensures good weather and good harvests, it would take six to seven years to save up the money.

Unexpectedly, Manager Wang actually gave fifteen taels of something.

Money to buy a concubine?

concubine?

After all this time, it turns out that Grandma Wang wants Gu Lili to be someone's concubine!

Aunt Zhang wanted to slap herself twice instantly. Why did she bring the person here without asking clearly?

Wang Po looked at the four siblings with a smug look on her face, thinking that Gu Lili would definitely agree.

He didn't notice at all that Gu Lili and Gu Erniu's faces were so gloomy that they looked like water was about to drip out.

Which girl from a good family would be willing to be a concubine?

Wang Fugui is so bold!

Wang Po looked confused and thought Gu Lili was too happy and didn't know how to express it.

Gu Lili turned around and went back to the kitchen, put down the bowl, picked up the iron bar at the kitchen door and dragged it out.

Gu Lili glanced at Gu Erniu, and Gu Erniu understood immediately.

He took the broom in his hand and hit Wang Po.

Only then did Wang Po realize that something was wrong and she ran away.

The brother and sister chased after her with their "weapons" in their hands, and Grandma Wang was so scared that one of her shoes fell off.

Gu Lili did not use an iron rod to beat Wang Po, after all, she was just an errand boy.

She just let Gu Erniu beat her hard with a broom.

Aunt Zhang also ran after her, picked up Wang Po's shoes and threw them at her.

It hit Wang Po on the head and she fell to the ground.

The fall was quite severe and all my clothes were torn.

Wang Po didn't have time to feel sad and quickly covered her head, fearing that Gu Lili would smash her head with an iron rod.

"What are you doing! Are you going to kill someone in broad daylight?" Wang Po cried, covering her head.

I don't know what I said to anger those three people. That was fifteen taels of silver.

Why are there still people who can’t get along with money?

She thought that she would definitely make a profit today, but she didn't expect that she would be beaten.

I have been a matchmaker for so many years, but this is the first time I have been beaten.

"Go back and tell Wang Fugui to stop daydreaming!" Gu Lili said angrily as she stopped Gu Erniu who was about to beat Wang Po.

Aunt Zhang also spat and said, "Although we are a farmer's family, there is no reason for us to be someone's concubine. If I had known this would happen, I would have chased you away when you entered the village!"

Aunt Zhang also has a daughter. If you put yourself in her shoes, even if she is dying of poverty, she cannot send her daughter to be a concubine.

To put it nicely, the concubine is a concubine; to put it bluntly, she is just a slave who is slightly more noble than a servant.

This means you have to serve someone's legal wife for the rest of your life.

Even if you give birth to a child, you can't call your mother. What's the point?

Wang Po didn't feel any pain in her body, so she took her hand away.

She wanted to struggle a few more times, but when she saw the iron rod in Gu Lili's hand, she swallowed the words back.

She nodded, put on her shoes hastily, got up and ran.

I was afraid that if I ran a step slower, I would get beaten again.

Seeing Wang Po leaving in a panic, Aunt Zhang felt very guilty.

"Li Li, I'm so sorry. I thought you were going to be married to the son of Shopkeeper Wang as his legal wife, but I didn't expect that..."

"Aunt Zhang, don't say more. I know you are doing this for my own good! It's okay!" Gu Lili interrupted Aunt Zhang with a smile.

Gu Lili knew that Aunt Zhang had no bad intentions, so she was not angry.

Seeing Gu Lili's appearance, Aunt Zhang finally felt relieved.

At the same time, I secretly warned myself that next time I encounter this situation, I must ask a few more questions.

After returning home and seeing such a commotion, Gu Lili didn't want to continue eating.

"Sister, I'm sorry. I was the one who told Wang Fugui where our home was."
