March, Yangchun, 3:15 pm, Guxian Village.

As soon as Zhao Guocheng and Wang Ronghua came back, they rushed to the upper room.

"You conscienceless people actually dared to sell my daughter. I curse you to have rotten meat and intestines, choke to death when drinking water, and be bitten by dogs when you go out. You conscienceless things." Wang Ronghua started cursing at the door of the upper room as soon as she entered the house.

Don't think she is stupid. Without her mother-in-law's permission, her uncle would not dare to sell her child. Her mother-in-law must have supported her.

They are a heartless family.

The whole family burst into scolding after hearing this shout.

"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? You're cursing as soon as you come back. Have you found Shiying?" Zhao Chenshi just lifted the curtain and came out. She heard Wang Ronghua cursing and asked with a frown.

"How dare you say that? You are all heartless. Only your Zhao Guoguang has done something inhumane. How dare you sell my daughter? Why don't you sell your own daughter?" Wang Ronghua was so angry that she started cursing, and even Zhao Chen was affected.

Wang Ronghua is usually a bit aggressive, and this time when she offended Ni Lin, she was even more reckless.

Zhao Chen was stunned on the spot, her mind was a little confused.

Zhao Shiying's brothers gnashed their teeth and looked at Zhao Chen with hatred.

They all thought that Zhao Chen was also an insider but was just hiding it from them.

Zhao Chen was so frightened that she took several steps back awkwardly.

"Impossible, I don't know. This has nothing to do with me. I know nothing." Zhao Chen was frightened and said subconsciously.

The villagers had already seen Zhao Guocheng and Wang Ronghua returning with the child, and they all wanted to know what was going on, so they followed them to Zhao's house.

I didn't expect to hear such shocking news.

Zhao Shiying was sold out by her uncle Zhao Guoguang. He was so heartless. How could he do such a thing? The villagers gathered at the gate of the courtyard talked about it and found it unbelievable.

Even if Wang Ronghua scolded her, Zhao Baishi didn't dare to come out.

Now she regretted listening to the boss. Selling a loss-making product and causing so much trouble, how would the villagers look at her?

"You old woman, did you really sell the second brother's daughter? Did you and the eldest brother conspire to sell that girl Shiying?" Zhao Dagen looked at his wife of many years in disbelief.

Thinking back on the past, I feel disheartened.

How vicious must this woman be to sell her own granddaughter?

There has long been an unwritten rule in the village that even if you have to eat coarse food, you would not sell your children, as that would make you looked down upon.

Zhao Dagen's lifelong wisdom was ruined by this old woman.

"It's not me who wants to sell her. It's... the eldest brother. He told me that this girl was favored by a nobleman in the county and could be sold for eight taels of silver. I thought about the fact that we have a large family and little food, let alone money, during this lean period. That's why I believed the eldest brother's lies and agreed to sell her. We have so many money-losing goods at home. How can we get through this spring if we don't sell them? We haven't even found any grain to grow. Besides, don't forget that Guochang still needs money. If we don't sell that little money-losing thing, how can we get the money to support Guochang's studies?" Zhao Baishi hurriedly explained.

"You...you are confused. You are going to make me angry to death before you stop." Zhao Dagen didn't know what to say. She was just a woman with long hair but little knowledge. What a stupid woman.

Zhao Dagen was so anxious that he was running around in circles and even stopped smoking his pipe. There was a deafening sound of cursing outside. Wang Ronghua even told the villagers about the whole matter while crying, just to get an explanation from the two of them.

Zhao Dagen pointed at Zhao Baishi with trembling hands, and was speechless for a moment.

It happened that Zhao Guoguang came back at this time. He was sent back by a kind-hearted person, otherwise he would not have been able to get home so quickly with his speed.

"Zhao Guoguang is back. He was beaten. Oh, he was beaten so badly. His face is disfigured. Will his leg be lame?"

“Yeah, I don’t know who beat him, but he beat me really hard.

"Yes, it's tragic."

"It's what he deserves. It's a good thing this guy wasn't beaten to death. He has no conscience to dare to sell other people's babies."

"You're right. I'd better not deal with him in the future. He's so brave that he dares to sell my niece."

"That's right. Don't steal the children from the village and sell them one day. You will be punished by God."

The villagers were talking a lot.

Zhao Guocheng and Wang Ronghua looked at each other and realized that things would be easier with Zhao Guoguang back, so they settled the account together.

At this time, the door of the upper room also opened.

Zhao Bai came out and was shocked when she saw Zhao Guoguang being supported in by someone.

"Boss, who beat you like this? Was it your second brother and others..." Zhao Bai was interrupted by Zhao Guoguang before she could finish her words.

"Mom, you have to save me. Mr. Qian said that I lied to him. This dead girl's horoscope was said to be false by my second brother and his wife. The master said that she was doomed to fail." Zhao Guoguang said, pointing at the child in Wang Ronghua's arms.

When he came back, he thought about how to explain it.

"What! A doomed star?" Zhao Baishi was so scared that her face turned pale.

When everyone heard this, they were even more confused.

What kind of horoscope is fake? What kind of star is the star of misfortune?

Could it be that the daughter of the second son of the Zhao family is doomed to fail?

Are you still using fake horoscopes to fool people and cheat them out of their money?

The villagers immediately started talking and stepped back in fear, fearing that they would be contaminated by the bad luck of being born under the star of misfortune.

"Uncle, you are talking nonsense. My younger sister is not doomed to fail. You must be talking nonsense." Zhao Shiying's second brother Zhao Shisheng said angrily, clenching his fists.

The bad uncle always wronged people. She never expected that her lovely little sister was sold out by the bad uncle. He has no conscience.

"Yes, my Shiying is not doomed to die. It's you, Zhao Guoguang, you conscienceless bastard. Are you still a human being? Fellow villagers, please give me some judgment. All her injuries were caused by the county official Qian. Who told him to make a fake horoscope to deceive Qian in order to sell her for a good price? Otherwise, whose child can be sold for fifteen taels of silver? The official said that it was Zhao Guoguang who deceived him and caused him to be struck by lightning as a punishment from heaven, so he beat him up. I didn't expect this conscienceless man to turn the tables and say that my daughter is doomed to die." Wang Ronghua knew that Zhao Guoguang just wanted to shirk responsibility, but it was impossible.

Moreover, what that stinky Taoist priest said about being doomed to be a star of misfortune cannot be acknowledged.

We also want the whole village to know Zhao Guoguang’s ugly face.

Wang Ronghua risked her life. She knew exactly when her daughter was born, but in order to save her daughter, she moved the time forward by one hour. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that Mr. Qian believed it.

The Taoist priest also said that her daughter was born with an unlucky star, but she didn't believe it because the horoscope she mentioned was fake. On the contrary, her daughter Shiying was born at the hour of Hai, which was a natural destiny.

Anyway, no matter what the fate is, no one can sell her child.

I will fight anyone who sells her out!

"What did you say? It was sold for fifteen taels? Wasn't it eight taels?" Zhao Bai stared at the second son, Zhao Guocheng, with wide eyes.

This honest man would definitely not lie.

"Mom, Mr. Qian said fifteen taels. I heard it clearly." Zhao Guoguang nodded at Zhao Baishi. Under the pressure from Zhao Baishi, he didn't dare to lie.

"Well, boss, you actually dared to cheat me and embezzle seven taels of silver. You think you are so nice." Zhao Bai became furious after she said this. She spat on her hands, rubbed them, and immediately hit Zhao Guoguang.

"Oh my god, mother, please spare me, I'm almost beaten to death." Zhao Guoguang was in pain all over his body, and Zhao Baishi beat him hard, hitting him all over the injured parts, and he was almost crippled.

After beating him a few times, Zhao Bai stopped. If the man was disabled, she would have to pay for medical treatment, but she had no money.

"Hand over the remaining silver." Zhao Bai twisted Zhao Guoguang's ear and said, there was really nothing left to do on this boss.
