"You are the one who ruined my daughter?" The man's voice was extremely hoarse, making people feel uncomfortable.

The woman followed closely behind, and as soon as she spoke, she was full of mercenary talk, "After all, this is our daughter who we have raised for so many years, and you almost ruined her. Tell me, how much are you willing to pay?"

When Su Zhizhi heard this, her eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. She really didn't expect that her family would be such people. They didn't treat the little girl as a human being, but instead used the girl's reputation as a means to blackmail others for money.

It's really unfair to be a parent. This kind of person is not a human being!

Changsheng was also a little scared when he saw how domineering this man was, even daring to do so in front of the village chief. He stammered, "I... I didn't... do anything to her."

But the woman was too lazy to listen to Changsheng's explanation. "She's just a little girl. If you really like her, give us the money and this little girl will be yours. You can do whatever you want with her..."

Su Zhizhi couldn't bear to listen any longer, "Enough!" she shouted.

"She is your daughter, not a commodity. What are you doing?" As a woman, Su Zhizhi naturally couldn't bear to see such a thing happen.

But unexpectedly, the woman sneered, "Who do you think you are? This is our family affair after all. Why are you butting in? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

The girl hid behind Su Zhizhi, timidly clutching Su Zhizhi's sleeves, and looked at her parents with fear in her eyes.

Su Zhizhi felt distressed when she saw this.

But what she didn't expect was that even the village chief agreed with the couple's words, "Miss Su, you'd better not interfere in this matter. Even if Changsheng really didn't do anything to this girl, it would be bad for her reputation if it gets out. It would be better to give them some money and let Changsheng buy the girl home. That would be a good home for her."

Su Zhizhi was completely disheartened by this village. Even the village chief was like this, so what about the others? What would they think?

But this child is obviously innocent, she is pure, and she is still so young, she still has a bright future ahead of her. Is she really going to be tied to an old man like Changsheng?

Su Zhizhi clenched her hands, no longer willing to endure it, "Enough, stop talking, I'll pay for this, I'll buy this girl, you don't want it, but I do!"

"I've given you the money, and I'll make it clear that whether this girl lives or dies or what happens has nothing to do with your family. Everyone present here can testify to what we both said today!" Su Zhizhi emphasized.

After saying that, Su Zhizhi took out a purse from her sleeve and threw it to the couple not far away.

The two men had sullen faces at first, but after weighing their purses, they smiled happily and left a message: "Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll give this dead girl to you, and you can't regret it."

As the couple walked, they said with a smile on their faces, "This little girl can still be sold for so much money. It's not even counting the time we raised her. It's a great honor for both of us."

"Yeah, yeah, we have to leave quickly, otherwise what if that woman regrets spending so much money on that damn girl and asks us to return the money?"

"You have a point."

After saying that, the couple immediately quickened their pace and disappeared in a flash.

When Su Zhizhi heard what the couple said, she was speechless and got so angry that she had a headache.

She glared at Changsheng and the village chief fiercely, then dragged the girl out of the village chief's house. Xie Chengjin smiled apologetically at the village chief and followed her out.

The girl saw everything that had just happened and obviously realized that she had been abandoned by her parents. She followed Su Zhizhi closely and was extremely well-behaved.

Mrs. Meng was at home and was a little surprised to see Su Zhizhi walking in with the little girl.

"Zhizhi, whose girl is this? Why did you bring her home?" Meng came forward and asked with some concern.

Su Zhizhi first took the person into the house, and then came out to tell Meng what happened. Meng's face also showed a distressed expression.

"What a poor child. It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. Since you have already bought him, you should take good care of him. Look at how thin the child is. It really makes people feel sorry for him." Mrs. Meng sighed.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi felt relieved. She brought the person back because she was afraid that Meng would not agree with her decision.

Meng went into the house, gave the girl a quick wash and a change of clothes, and then brought her out.

Su Zhizhi was sitting in the yard. Seeing someone coming out, she waved at her and said, "I haven't had time to ask your name yet."

"I... my name is Zhaodi." The little girl spoke timidly, her hands almost twisted into knots.

Su Zhizhi frowned when she heard this, then sighed. At this time, Meng also came over. She touched the girl's head and spoke softly.

"Since you are already a member of our family, you can't be called by your previous name. Hmm... from now on, I'll call you Su Yu. How about that?"

Girl... No, Su Yu's eyes lit up and she nodded heavily.

With one more person in the family, Su Zhizhi was very satisfied. It felt like a home now, with many people and a lively atmosphere. This also made her feel that life was becoming more and more hopeful, and she had more goals to strive for.

Perhaps due to her original family background, Su Yu has been exceptionally well-behaved since she came to the Su family. She rushes to do all the housework, which relieves a lot of pressure on Meng and others. Even Su Peizhi feels inferior to her enthusiasm.

After settling Su Yu down, Su Zhizhi finally had time to pick up the fresh vegetables harvested from the fields.

There was a large amount of vegetables, and even if some was left for home, the remaining amount was still very considerable.

Su Zhizhi made a prompt decision and decided to take the vegetables to the town to sell them the next day. She could exchange them for some copper coins. Having money in hand would make her feel at ease.

They did it right away. The neighbor had a donkey, so Su Zhizhi simply went to the neighbor's house, delivered some vegetables, and borrowed the donkey. She planned to let it carry the vegetables tomorrow, so that Su Zhizhi could feel more relaxed.

Things went very smoothly. The next morning, Su Zhizhi drove her donkey alone on the road to town.

Originally, Xie Chengjin also wanted to go with Su Zhizhi, but Su Zhizhi left him at home to take care of Meng. She was still worried about the two children, Su Peizhi and Su Yu.

Nothing happened on the way to the town. When they arrived in the town, Su Zhizhi set up a stall in the most crowded place. There was also a vegetable farmer at the stall next to him, but the vegetables on his stall were far inferior to those of Su Zhizhi.

Many people passing by were attracted by Su Zhizhi's fresh vegetables. More and more people came over and began to ask about the prices. Su Zhizhi didn't expect that her things would be so popular. She didn't care about anything else and started working non-stop.
