The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

She looked around, the surrounding scenes slowly overlapped with the scenes deep in her memory, and a familiar and slightly trance-like feeling surged into her heart.

No wonder, this is the dental shop where the original body was almost sold.

If the thunder had not struck in broad daylight, if she was lucky, she would probably be a slave in a rich family. If she was unlucky, it would not be surprising that she ended up in a brothel.

Xu Yingtao sighed softly and asked Xie Li to help her squeeze into the crowd.

Xie Li was very strong and small, so no one really blamed them for it.

In the middle of the crowd, a skinny little girl who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old was crying with snot and tears all over her face, cursing the bearded man in front of her word by word.

The man looked to be in his twenties and had a sloppy look. He was scolded in public by his own girl, but he didn't feel ashamed at all and instead spat on the ground.

"Cry, cry, cry. You've brought bad luck to people. I owe so much gambling debts. If I don't sell you, shall I sell your niece?"

The little girl cried hoarsely, "When my parents passed away, you swore that you would never gamble again in your life. Why don't you keep your word?"

The man curled his lips, "What can I do if I can't help it? Besides, I have to support you, your sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces. How can I live without making some money? If you don't want to be sold, then go back and marry Jia Laoer. Why don't you cherish such a good in-law family?"

The girl wiped her tears fiercely and smiled sadly: "A good in-law? Jia Laoer is already fifty-one years old! Tell me honestly, how many women has he beaten to death over the years? What's the difference between asking me to marry him and trying to kill me?"

The onlookers could no longer hold back and started calling the man a beast, saying he was going to push the girl into the fire.

The man's patience had been worn out. He glared at his sister viciously and said angrily, "Then stop talking nonsense. I've already negotiated a price with the pawnbroker. You look good and might be worth four taels of silver. I've raised you for all these years, and this should just barely cover my investment." As he said this, he was about to reach out to grab the man.

The little girl swiftly moved to one side, avoiding the man's big hand, and said fiercely, "Four taels? I will make sure you don't get a penny!"

As the words fell, there was the sound of the little girl resolutely bumping into the pillar.

"boom!"

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

"Dead!"

“It’s killing me!”

"Go and report to the official!"

Xu Yingtao was also horrified. She was just thinking about whether to help the little girl, but before she could say anything, she had already committed suicide.

She quickly turned around and looked at Xiao Zhou, motioning her to go to the clinic to ask for a doctor. No matter whether the patient could be saved or not, she couldn't just stand by and watch.

When he heard that they were going to report the incident to the police, and saw his own sister's blood gushing out, the man turned pale with fright.

His voice was trembling as he repeatedly defended himself: "I...I didn't mean to force her to death. It really wasn't me. I didn't do anything. You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"

The boss of the dental clinic also ran out upon hearing the noise. Seeing the little girl bleeding on the ground, he frowned and glanced at the man unhappily.

"I asked you to persuade your sister, but you persuaded her to death. Forget it, I won't do this business with you anymore. Take her away quickly. It's really unlucky!"

When the man heard this, he immediately became anxious and grabbed the boss of the pawnshop by the arm, refusing to let go: "My sister got hurt in front of your pawnshop, you have to compensate me!"

The onlookers were so angry at his shameless appearance that they started cursing.

There happened to be a patrol officer nearby, who rushed over upon hearing the noise. After learning the whole story, he looked at the man with contempt.

According to the laws of Dayu, they really have no right to interfere in such acts of seeking death, but that does not stop them from despising this scoundrel who sells his own sister and wants to blackmail her.

The leading officer drew his sword and threatened: "Take your sister home and bury her properly. If you cause trouble again, we will arrest you and put you in jail!"

When the man saw the officer, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He was so scared that he trembled and couldn't speak clearly.

"Sir, I will take my sister away right now. No need to worry about it."

Just when he was about to bend down to hug his sister, Xiao Zhou and Zheng Wen came hurriedly with the doctor.

"Wait a minute!" The old doctor put down his medicine box, squatted down and started to feel the girl's pulse.

A doctor has a kind heart and he cannot bear to see a life disappear before his eyes.

The man suddenly became anxious: "I didn't call a doctor, and I don't have money to pay you for the consultation!"

The old doctor ignored him. After checking her pulse, he slowly exhaled, "The little girl is lucky. She is still alive. If you save her quickly, she can still survive. Give me your answer. Will you save her?"

When the man heard the first half of the sentence, he immediately became energetic. When he heard the second half, he couldn't help but curse.

He looked at the boss of the dental clinic again: "Boss, you heard it too. My sister can survive. How about this, you buy her and I'll give you a discount of one or two taels, as payment for her medicine. How do you think?"

The dental shop owner snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm stupid? She hit her head. Not to mention how much money it would cost to save her, now she's disfigured. Even if she's saved, she won't be sold at a high price. Get out, get out, or I'll be rude to you!"

The man was still trying to wriggle his way out of the situation when he saw two burly men coming out of the pawnshop. They were obviously thugs, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to spend money to save people.

Since the girl could no longer be sold, he planned to take her back and let her fend for herself.

"No more saving!" The man stepped forward without hesitation, pushed the old doctor away and tried to grab his sister again.

Xu Yingtao was about to step forward to stop them, but a young man in a brocade robe spoke first: "Wait."

The man paused and looked at the man in brocade robe with doubtful eyes: "What do you want to do?"

The man in brocade robes held up two fingers and said expressionlessly, "I'll pay two taels of silver. Sell your sister to me."

The man didn't expect that someone would buy the girl even though she was almost dead. He asked with a skeptical look on his face, "Are you really willing to buy it?"

The man in brocade robe nodded and said, "It just so happens that my family is in need of a fire-making maid. If she can survive, I will buy her back to help with the housework. If she can't survive, I will bury her. You won't lose out anyway. What do you think?"

This is pure scapegoating.

The man was not stupid, he grinned and said, "Add another one or two."

The man in brocade robes didn't fall for it at all: "I won't buy it."

The man hissed, thinking he could raise the price, but it seemed that was not going to work.

After rolling his eyes for a few times, he turned to the old doctor and asked, "Doctor, if my sister wants to live, how much will it cost?"

The old doctor didn't even want to look at him, and said coldly, "At least five taels of silver."

"So many!" The man's calculations failed, and he stretched out his hand to the man in brocade robes, "Deal, give me the silver, and you can take this loss-making merchandise away."

The man in brocade robe ignored him and turned to ask the pawnbroker boss to help him write a contract of sale. Of course, he would not ask for help in vain, so he would pay him a reward for his hard work.

When the man heard that just signing a contract of sale would cost two hundred coins, he smacked his lips in amazement, thinking it would be better to just give him the money directly.

The pawnbroker boss was naturally happy to earn two hundred coins just by moving his fingers. He quickly took out the indenture template that had been prepared long ago from the store, asked the man to sign it first, and then asked the man in brocade robe about his name and hometown, preparing to fill it in the buyer's column.

Unexpectedly, the man in brocade robe pointed at Xu Yingtao and said, "Ask her the master's name."
