I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Lin Weiqiao dared to offend Aunt Wu, and naturally she also considered this aspect. But regardless of whether she offended Aunt Wu or not, her proposal to check the account book was already regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the people in the second house.

After all, it has come to this, there is nothing to hide. Sometimes, when you give someone face, they still think you are afraid of him.

What's more, Aunt Wu is so arrogant and domineering that she only allows her own family to make money and doesn't allow others to have a chance to eat a meatball?

She was not tolerant of it. It was Aunt Wu who insisted on picking trouble first. She was just retaliating. What was wrong with that?

"They are trying to make things difficult for me? Then I will make things difficult for them too. Who is afraid of whom? You have to know that people tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. They dare to bully you only because they think you are too weak and easy to take advantage of. Once you become tough, they will become weak."

Sure enough, after Xiaohan returned to the kitchen, he saw that Aunt Wu was restless and worried the whole afternoon. She went out several times, and came back in a hurry, looking absent-minded.

When they returned to Shuangxiyuan, Mu Yanliu was leading Sister Fan and Sister Yue to play in the yard, with bursts of laughter.

Inside the room, Wan Jie was practicing calligraphy seriously at her desk, with Yu Muyan sitting next to her.

Yu Muyan was embroidering while urging her sister Wan to practice calligraphy, quietly.

Madam Li said, "Ms. Bao's meal is always more than your share, Madam. She has a picky appetite and always complains that the food cooked by the kitchen is not to her taste. She wants to do this and that, and the people in the kitchen can't help but complain. She is also picky about the expenses."

Yu Muyan put down the embroidery in her hands. She didn't have much affection for this elder sister, and even had some resentment towards her.

Thinking back to the time when she was raised in the Qi family, sometimes Old Lady Yu would bring Yu Mubao to see her. Yu Mubao relied on Old Lady Yu's favor and was quite arrogant. It was not known whether it was due to jealousy or something else, but Yu Mubao had disliked her since he was a child, and even bullied her several times when no one was around.

Yu Mubao always wanted her things, and every time she came back, she would take a fancy to her things and cry if she didn't give them to her. Old Mrs. Yu sided with Yu Mubao and persuaded her, as a younger sister, to give in to her elder sister.

Of course, Mrs. Yu didn't dare to be too biased in public, so she asked Yu Muyan for it in private. Yu Muyan was still young at that time, so she couldn't stand Mrs. Yu's soft and hard nagging, so she gave her everything she deserved and shouldn't have given.

When she was older and more sensible, Yu Muyan knew what kind of temper her elder sister had, and she didn't want to be the one who got taken advantage of, so she gradually stopped giving. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yu changed her tactics again, knowing that she was soft-hearted, and cried bitterly to her.

It was not until she and Yu Mubao got married and had less contact that she stopped taking it.

It was fine that Yu Mubao was living at home now. It was not that she could not tolerate this sister. They were all sisters. What happened in the past was in the past, and she would be able to treat her well.

But Yu Mubao asked Wan Jie'er for things just like he used to ask her for things, and even wanted to take Wan Jie'er's yard.

That day, she felt so distressed when she saw Wan Jie'er's aggrieved look, and wanted to ask Yu Mubao to return it. But Wan Jie'er was sensible and didn't want to embarrass her, so she said she wanted to live with her, so she endured it.

But she absolutely could not let her sister go through what she had experienced.

"Give her the order. Don't argue with her. If she wants to make a scene, let her do it."

Yu Muyan just wanted Yu Mubao to go home and make a fuss. She had had enough.

Wan Jieer looked up and said, "Mother Lin said that in a few days, my aunt will obediently return the yard to me."

Yu Muyan said lovingly, "It's because of your mother's uselessness that you have to suffer. But your aunt is so ignorant that she even wants to take things from a little kid like you."

The afternoon was quiet and peaceful, with a slight warm breeze making you sleepier.

Originally, Lin Weiqiao was fanning the sleeping Hong Luo, and as she was fanning, she fell asleep herself.

In her sleep, she vaguely heard someone calling her.

"Mom, mom, wake up..." It was Zhu'er calling her.

She opened her eyes dazedly and asked vaguely, "What's wrong?"

Zhu'er said, "Mom, it's Papaya who's looking for you in a hurry."

"what's up?"

"He didn't say anything, it looks like he has something urgent to do."

Zhu'er led her to the front yard. Mugua saw her coming from afar, ran over in a hurry, knelt down, and kowtowed three times, "Mom, please save my sister..."

She and Zhu'er quickly helped Papaya up, and she asked, "Don't worry, tell me what happened?"

Mugua cried and said that ever since the day his father came to him and told him that one of his two sisters was sold to someone as a child bride and the other was sold to a human trafficker, he had dreams at night that his sister who was sold to the human trafficker was not well fed or clothed, and was abused, beaten and scolded, and was locked in a room without sunlight and crying.

He had the same dream for several days in a row, and was awakened every time.

He himself had experienced living in the hands of human traffickers and knew how painful life would be after being sold to human traffickers.

He still remembered that when he was first sold to a trafficker, he met a fellow of his own age. Unable to bear the abuse of the traffickers, he tried to sneak away in the middle of the night, but was discovered and beaten half to death. He lay in bed for several days before he died.

He couldn't imagine what kind of abuse his little sister, who was sold to human traffickers, was suffering at this moment.

He struggled internally for several days, and finally went back to ask his father, and after much difficulty found his poor sister.

"Please, mother, save my sister. She is still so young. I heard from the traffickers that they want to sell her to a brothel to be used as a toy for people's entertainment. Mother, I know this is my family affair and I shouldn't trouble you. But I really can't save my sister. I can't afford to redeem her, and I am not qualified to redeem her."

Lin Weiqiao felt distressed when she heard this. After asking Papaya Sister, it happened to be sold to Grandma Xia Ya. She nodded. She had to help with this matter. So she would just be a saint and consider it as a good deed.

Besides, the child was so young, and she had the ability to save a little girl's life, so why not do it? She didn't ask for anything in return, just to have a clear conscience.

Seeing that she agreed, Mugua was so excited that he wanted to kowtow to her again, "Mom, you are so kind to me. I will definitely repay you by working like a cow or a horse in the future. Even if you want me to die, I am willing to do it!"

She said, "Not really, not really. I'll go when I'm ready. But, does Xia Ya Po know that you want to redeem your sister?"

"I don't know. I just found out secretly."

"That's good. You wait in the mansion. You don't have to go with me."

"why?"

"If Grandma Xia knows that we are here to redeem someone, she will definitely ask for a very high price. I will pretend to be here to pick someone and redeem your sister."

Back in her room, she counted her jewelry and took out the remaining money. In fact, buying a little girl now was not as good as buying a sheep.

Sometimes, human life is not as valuable as livestock. This is the horror of this era.
