Take your childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality

"What a handsome brother and sister! If we could get them, how much would they sell for?" an old woman at the door muttered to herself.

The old woman at the door is also a wicked person. Her name is Cai Pozi, and she comes from another place. It is not clear where she is from. All we know is that she lives in Mazhi Lane and has a son who is in his thirties and still unmarried. Her son has no hobbies but loves gambling. He is a regular customer of Yuelai Casino, so the daughters of the nearby families are unwilling to marry him, so he has never married. Cai Pozi wanted to buy a girl for her son to be his wife, but her son was a loser. He lost all the family wealth and had no money.

Mrs. Cai noticed the boy and girl when they entered the market. The boy and girl were so outstanding in appearance, with red lips and white teeth, just like dolls in New Year pictures. They were worth a lot of money, which made people tempted. Mrs. Cai wanted to kidnap them, but there were too many people around and it was difficult to do so. After seeing the three people walk away, she asked about the old woman named Ermei. It turned out that she was a country woman with no background. However, she did find out some things. It seemed that the old woman's husband fell down from the mountain two days ago and urgently needed money to save his life. This was easy to do. As long as he needed money, he would be fine. The only problem was that he would not ask for money. So Mrs. Cai followed all the way. When she saw the two handsome kids outside Baohe Hall, she slapped her thighs and wished she could kidnap them immediately. After observing for a long time and seeing that the old woman didn't come out, Mrs. Cai turned her eyes and slipped into the backyard from the alley next to Baohe Hall. She saw the old woman named Ermei kneeling on the ground wiping her tears. Mrs. Cai looked left and right to make sure no one was paying attention. She squatted down and whispered in the old woman's ear.

"If you want to save your husband, follow me to the backyard of Baohe Hall." After saying this, Mrs. Cai left quickly.

The moment Old Liu heard Mrs. Cai speak, she looked up and stared at her with wide eyes. She didn't come to her senses until she finished speaking. She was stunned for a moment, then stood up and hurriedly followed her out.

The alley in the backyard was narrow and sparsely populated. Mrs. Cai found a place to avoid people, turned around and looked at the approaching old woman with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Old Liu asked anxiously before he even got close.

Mrs. Cai smiled and said, "If you don't want to punish your husband, just say it loudly. I don't care." Mrs. Cai spread her hands.

Old Liu then looked at Mrs. Cai. Although she was old, she was well dressed. She wore a blue fine cloth dress with floral patterns and pants of the same color. She had her hair tied up in a bun and wrapped with a piece of cloth of the same color. Her hair was oiled and shiny. She wore a silver hairpin in her hair and a pair of silver cloves on her ears. She had a wealthy face and did not look like someone from a poor family.

"Old sister, I didn't understand what you said just now. What did you mean?" Old Liu asked the question in her heart while looking at Mrs. Cai.

"Sister is doing this for your own good. Seeing you crying so hard, I'm giving you some advice. Is your husband in urgent need of money?" Mrs. Cai took her hand with concern, patted her chest when she let go, and comforted her.

"How did you know, elder sister? My husband fell down the mountain two days ago, but now he is breathing out more than breathing in. I came to Baohetang and asked the doctor, and he said it would cost 40 taels to cure my husband. Where can I get this money? Elder sister, I feel so sad!" As she spoke, she wiped her face with her hand and cried for a while. Thinking about the other party's intention, an idea came to her mind. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Grandma Cai in disbelief.

"Could it be that the elder sister wants to lend money to her younger sister for emergency? If that's the case, then the elder sister is the adopted parent of my old man and me. I will burn three incense sticks every day, pray to the gods and Buddha, and pray to God to let the elder sister live a long life." As the old Liu family said this, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Mrs. Cai quickly helped Old Liu up and said, "Sister, you are blind and don't know the value of gold and jade. Why do you come to me, an old woman, for help? I am very poor."

Cai Pozi helped Old Liu up and said modestly, "I'm here to make money, not to be a good person. If I have that money, I can spend a few cents to buy a few pounds of pork head meat to eat. Isn't it better than borrowing half of your body to bury it in the ground?" Cai Pozi thought so in her heart, without showing any trace on the surface, and said with a face full of consideration for Old Liu's family.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, elder sister." Old Liu looked at Mrs. Cai with a puzzled look on her face.

"It's just the boy and girl in your family. The boy and girl in your sister's family are really good-looking. Don't say 40 taels, they can be sold for 60 taels. After selling them, your wife will have money left to buy some good supplements. Sister, I came up with such a cruel idea for your sake. If you don't mind, just pretend I didn't say anything. It's a pity for my brother-in-law. If he dies early, how will you live alone? I heard that your only son was conscripted away? If you have the money, you can spend some money to find out which military camp the child has been assigned to, spend some money to get the child out, and take care of you in your old age. Wouldn't that be great? Don't let him really lose his life. It will be useless to come and cry at his funeral. What do you think?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mrs. Cai thought she didn't agree. She thought to herself, if this woman doesn't agree, I will let my son follow the three of them home at night, knock them out and carry them away. The big official in the county town will like this the most. This business is worth at least two hundred taels. When the time comes, if the big official is happy, he can reward me more. Mrs. Cai was secretly happy, but she didn't show any expression on her face as she persuaded the Liu family.

It's not that Mrs. Cai is a good person. She wanted to separate from this woman because she was really afraid that the two children would be abducted. This family reported to the police. Mrs. Cai had suffered similar losses before. To be honest, she was a little scared. Mrs. Cai's original name was Li Fengxian. She was from Chongzhou. When she was a teenager, she was abducted by a kidnapper. Because she was quite pretty, she was kept by the kidnapper as a kidnapper's wife. Li Fengxian didn't want to do it at first, but she was forced by the kidnapper. She was locked up in the cowshed with the cows for a month. After being tempered by her temperament, she agreed. The husband and wife followed him and started doing business. Gradually, their lives became more and more comfortable until one day... Once, her husband made a mistake and kidnapped the daughter of a high-ranking official and sold her. They were caught by the soldiers. Fortunately, she took her son out to buy vegetables. When she came back, she saw some movement at home. She hid in the dark and looked around. Finding something wrong, she ran away quickly and settled down in Qingxi Town. She changed her name and her life gradually settled down. As a woman with no skills and having to support the children at home, she had no choice but to do her old job. However, she only dared to do it secretly and not openly. She also made some money and bought a few acres of land. In the future, she would find a wife for her son to be filial to her. In this way, her life was not lived in vain.

Mrs. Cai had never expected that her son would become addicted to gambling due to neglect of discipline since childhood, and almost all of his land had been pawned. If Mrs. Cai had not been watching over him a few days ago, even the house he lived in would have been pawned by the unfilial son. She had no other choice but to think of returning to her old ways. She went to the market for many days, but either the children looked pale and thin, or their families were watching them closely, so she had no chance to do anything. If it weren't for the good-looking children, Mrs. Cai would not have been willing to take the risk. She had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she became more amiable and spoke.

"Forget it, forget it. I'd better go home and cook. My sister shouldn't need any help. I'm leaving." Mrs. Cai pretended to leave, trying to trick her.

The Liu family, after hearing what Mrs. Cai had to say, were deeply moved. "Yes, Arun Wenwen and I have no relatives. Although he used to be an immortal, he is no longer. Why should I be afraid of him?" "How can they be as important as the old man and his son? Give the old man 40 taels, spend another 5 taels to find out where his son is, spend another 5 taels to find him, and the remaining 10 taels for his son to marry. Soon he will have a grandson." The thought was burning in their hearts. Seeing Mrs. Cai was about to leave, they quickly grabbed her and said,

"Don't go, elder sister. Teach me something." As he said this, he pulled Mrs. Cai, with a flattering smile on his face.

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Mrs. Cai hooked her finger to signal her to come closer and talked for a long time.
