I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

Wang Qiuyue was a few months away from reaching marriageable age, but her grandmother told her that He was planning to sell her to a widower in town who made tofu, simply because the betrothal gift was generous enough.

The widower had a very bad reputation. Apart from selling tofu, he drank and beat his wives. He had beaten his previous wives to death. With Wang Qiuyue's frail body, she probably wouldn't live long if she married him.

Before she got married, He Fangfang and her husband tried their best to squeeze out the last bit of value from her, throwing a lot of work at her every day, the kind that she couldn't finish even if she didn't eat or sleep.

The girl couldn't stand it and made trouble in the village several times. Song Erhe couldn't persuade her. As a village head, he couldn't control how others married their daughters.

A few days ago, Wang Sheng went out to cut grass for pigs and got caught in the rain. When he returned, he started to have a fever and was sick for a few days. Wang Qiuyue was extremely anxious, but she didn't have a penny and couldn't take her brother to see a doctor.

Today, the child's face was red with fever and he couldn't get up.

He Fangfang didn't want to go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots without labor, so she beat Wang Sheng severely and forced him to get up and work.

After a tiring day and carrying a full basket of bamboo shoots, Wang Sheng fell headfirst onto the mountain road and lost consciousness.

At this time, He still refused to pay a penny. She thought Wang Sheng was pretending to be sick, so she wanted to beat him up to vent her anger. If he died, he would die, saving food.

Many villagers couldn't bear to watch and tried to persuade them, but the times were bad and no one had extra food or money, so they really couldn't help the siblings.

Song An Ning was filled with mixed emotions. She thought she was miserable enough, but she didn't expect that Wang Qiuyue and her brother were even more miserable and were almost dead.

Poor people too.

"Aning, go find your second grandfather. Those two children have had a hard time. They can't just disappear like this."

Before Song An Ning could agree, Song Erhe hurried over with the village barefoot doctor. He had noticed that something was wrong with the child a long time ago, and he hurried over as soon as he heard what he heard.

Seeing that the headman had brought people with him, He Shi could no longer scold him. Her eyes rolled around rapidly. This old man really likes to meddle in other people's business.

He just muttered indifferently, "You are the one who called the doctor here. It has nothing to do with me. I don't have the money to pay for the consultation."

"..."

"No need to pay for the consultation. I'm not that cruel. I can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

The doctor snorted unhappily and squatted down to look at Wang Sheng.

After a long time, he sighed and shook his head at Song Erhe.

If he had taken medicine from the beginning, he could still be cured. But now, even if the imperial physician came, he might not be able to cure it.

Wang Qiuyue could feel her brother's life gradually fading away. This was the brother her mother had given birth to with all her life. When she couldn't bear the beatings from He anymore, she thought about finding a hemp rope to hang herself, but her brother was still young, and she couldn't just die like that.

Now that her brother is going to die, what is the point of her still living?

She closed her eyes in despair, but for some reason, the scene of Song An Ning trying to kill someone with a sickle a few days ago appeared in front of her.

Yes! Even if I die, I have to take that vicious woman He Fangfang with me.

She has been weak for more than ten years. At the end of her life, let her go crazy.

The next moment, Wang Qiuyue imitated Song Anning's actions that day, pulled out the sickle attached to the backpack, and put it against He Fangfang's neck.

"He, let's die together, hahahaha. Let your three kids also have a taste of what it's like to be a stepmother, how about that?"

With a little force, a blood mark appeared on He's neck.

Surprisingly, everyone just watched quietly, no one stopped them, and several women standing in front silently picked up Wang Sheng from the ground.

He felt the coldness on her neck and was so scared that she dared not move. No, her child could not be without a mother, and she could not die!

"Qiuyue, when we get back, Mom will treat your brother. Put down the knife first. We are all family. Don't do anything stupid."

"Seeing a doctor? A family? Haha...

Ah Sheng is already beyond medical treatment, and I won't live long if you marry me off to town, so stop using these words to frame me."

Wang Qiuyue increased the strength in her hands, and the cold blade cut through the flesh. He Fangfang felt cold all over, and the sins she had committed in her daily life flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope.

Here, Song Anning was working hard to communicate with the system.

"Xiangxiang, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. They're already so pitiful. Just sell me some fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory drugs. Just a little bit..."

She remembered that when the accident happened at home, Wang Qiuyue and her brother helped to look for their father and elder brother while going up the mountain to cut grass for pigs. Because they came home late, they were beaten by He.

Once, A Niang ran away madly, and it was Wang Qiuyue who saw her and ran back to the village to shout.

Such kind siblings shouldn't be gone like this.

The system saw everything that happened outside, and after thinking it over again and again, it replied to Song An Ning: "Okay, Xiangxiang is reluctant to do so, but buying medicine across levels is very expensive, a hundred times the original price."

"!"

Song Anning swallowed timidly and asked through gritted teeth, "How much?"

"Hehe, not more, not less, three taels of silver for three boxes of medicine. Xiangxiang even gave me two extra boxes as a token of kindness. I'm kind, right?"

"purchase!"

Three taels of silver for two lives, it’s worth it!

"Hey, Wang Qiuyue, did you learn how to use a knife from me? That's really ugly."

Song An Ning strolled towards Wang Qiuyue in a nonchalant manner, with a sarcastic expression on his face.

"Aning, what are you doing?"

"Aning, shut up!"

Zhang and Wang Ying'er's voices rang out simultaneously. What's wrong with this child? Is she crazy?

Hearing her say this, Wang Qiuyue just pursed her lips and said stubbornly: "I didn't learn it from you, it has nothing to do with any of you..."

Look, what a kind person he is. Even at this time, he doesn’t want to implicate anyone.

Everyone was stunned. What was this little ancestor doing again?

Under everyone's gaze, Song An Ning didn't care about being socially awkward. She casually walked behind Wang Qiuyue and whispered in her ear:

"I can save your brother and cut off all ties with her."

"!"

She knew how unreliable Song An Ning was, but if she could save her brother, she would try her best even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance.

It was the first time Wang Qiuyue used a knife to kill someone, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. She tried hard to calm herself down and decided to listen to Song An Ning. It would not be too late to die if she couldn't save her brother.

He kept talking, crying and begging Wang Qiuyue to let her go, and she didn't hear the voice behind her at all.

"Please, I will treat you well from now on, like my own daughter. Please don't kill me..."

After she begged again and again, she heard Wang Qiuyue say coldly:

"I want to break off the engagement. I want to take my brother and leave the Wang family! Do you dare to agree, bitch?"

She knew that her father was a country bumpkin and was terribly afraid of He. He made all the decisions on big and small matters in the family. With the head of the village and all the elders present, the relationship might really be severed.

"No, we can't break off the relationship!"
