A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

"Miss Shen, release the child quickly, let's talk things over slowly."

"Yes, you also grew up from a young age, and you will have your own daughter in the future. Aren't you afraid that the consequences of treating a child like this will fall on you in the future?"

Despite the cacophony of voices, Shen Ling remained unmoved.

"Mother, I'm scared..."

“Xiaoyu…” Yunluo’s eyes were red and swollen. “Shen Ling, bring Xiaoyu over here. I’ll go and replace her!”

"it is good……"

"No way!" Qin Zheng said coldly, "I'll do it!"

"No." Shen Ling refused decisively. Qin Zheng had martial arts skills to rely on. If they really switched places, what bargaining chips would she have left?

Seeing it all in front of so many people, she decided to throw caution to the wind, fight for her own future, and fly away.

"None of you are allowed to come."

The child is best used and manipulated; as long as he is Qin Zheng and Yun Luo's darling, that's fine.

"Shen Ling, let's settle our own affairs. Release Xiao Yu," Yun Lan said hastily upon hearing the news.

No one expected Shen Ling to be so ruthless.

It's all her fault. If she hadn't been so indecisive, Shen Ling wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation.

"Ling'er, release Xiaoyu!"

Shen Ling glanced at Yun Lan and Li Pinglang, who were coming from behind.

How ridiculous, they're together again?

Why does she look so irritating?

Why can't she get what she wants?

Why can other people live a good life?

Especially Yunlan.

Didn't she have a pretty bad reputation before?

Has our attitude towards her completely changed?

Isn't she just getting what she wanted?

She sneered, grabbed Xiaoyu, and held her in front of her. Xiaoyu cried loudly as she was grabbed. Shen Ling was annoyed by the sound, so she took out a piece of cloth from her bosom and stuffed it haphazardly into Xiaoyu's mouth.

Everyone was shocked.

Yunlu felt so sorry for Shen Ling that she wanted to kill her.

Qin Zheng's face was ashen, and his killing intent surged.

"Shen Ling, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Yunluo realized she had made a huge mistake; she should have acted sooner against someone like Shen Ling.

"Simple. Prepare a thousand taels of silver and a carriage for me, and then... Yunlan will escort me out of the village. Once I'm out of the village, I'll release the child. How about that?"

Everyone gasped.

One thousand taels?

A farming family couldn't earn that much in a lifetime, no, even three lifetimes!

If a family had more than ten taels of silver, it would be enough to last them for half a year.

A thousand taels? I wouldn't even dare to dream of that!

Shen Ling is now asking for a thousand taels of silver; this is practically robbery.

A thousand taels of silver for a daughter—many people silently did the math in their minds. If it were their own family, they would definitely have to give up their daughter.

After all, I can't come up with a thousand taels.

Moreover, if you lose your daughter, you can have another one, but money is hard to earn.

So at this moment, many people were watching Yunluo and his wife, wondering what they were going to do.

"I do what I say!"

Yun Luo really wanted to strangle this bitch. She tried to step forward, but Qin Zheng grabbed her. Qin Zheng's eyes were deep and dark. "The carriage is fine, but we can't come up with a thousand taels right now."

"I do not believe!"

"Believe it or not, we certainly don't have a thousand taels. Eight hundred taels is our limit," Yun Luo said coldly.

Seeing that the couple didn't seem to want to fake it, Shen Ling decided that eight hundred taels was fine, and she couldn't wait any longer, so she nodded and said, "Okay, deal."

Everyone gasped again.

Eight hundred taels?

Not eight taels, but eighty taels, a full eight hundred taels!

The villagers knew the couple had made money, but they didn't know they had made so much.

Wouldn't that be a windfall?

Even if you have the money, eight hundred taels for a daughter... that's too expensive...

Some villagers advised, "Qin Zheng, you should think this over carefully. Eight hundred taels is no small sum. Giving that away..."

“Uncle Li, even if it's 80,000 taels, we'd be willing to pay it to get Xiaoyu back,” Yun Luo said.

What can anyone else say now?

It can only be said that the Qin family's children are precious.

If it were my own family, I would only ask for two taels of silver to marry off my daughter.

Both parties reached an agreement that Qin Zheng would go back to get the silver. However, Qin Zheng was still worried, so he simply gave the key to Xue Yunfeng and let Xue Yunfeng go back to get it.

“Ling’er…” Shen Juan staggered in. She had heard what everyone had said along the way and was both disappointed and surprised. She had done something wrong again. How could she tell that she had changed?

"What a terrible thing!" Shen Juan's legs went weak, and she almost knelt down. "Release Xiaoyu immediately! How can you be so heartless? She's so young! How could you do such a thing?"

"Auntie, it's all your fault. I'm clearly your niece, your own niece. Why would you rather help an outsider than help me?"

"you……"

"Enough with the nonsense, shut up, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Shen Juan's lips trembled. She wanted to persuade her, but she was afraid that she would really do something bad. She collapsed to the ground and cried softly.

Yunluo's heart was with Xiaoyu, so she had no interest in caring about anyone else.

For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach after going up the mountain.

She felt waves of pain. She had endured it while searching for Xiaoyu, but now that she had found her, the pain intensified, and sweat beaded on her forehead.

Qin Zheng keenly sensed that something was wrong with her. "Xiao Luo, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, the child probably kicked me, it'll be fine in a bit."

Although Qin Zheng was worried, things had eased up, so he could only deal with Xiao Yu's matter first.

However, the pain in her stomach worsened, and Yunluo felt cold sweat pouring down her face. Her vision went black, and she slumped down. She thought she heard anxious voices in her ear, but after that, she knew nothing more.

……

Yunlu felt like she had slept for a long time and had many dreams.

In her dream, she saw a pair of snow-white foxes, a mother and her cub, snuggling together. Upon closer inspection, the mother fox seemed to be crying.

She was startled awake and sat bolt upright in bed, her head covered in sweat.

Zhou Rong, who was at the door, saw that she was awake and was so startled that she almost dropped the bowl in her hand. She called out, "Xiao Luo is awake!" and then rushed in. "Xiao Luo, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you? I'll go call your uncle..."

"Mother," Yunluo rubbed her head, "Where's Xiaoyu? Was she rescued?"

Zhou Rong's expression turned pale for a moment, but she quickly recovered and nodded, "Don't worry, we found her, Xiaoyu is fine."

Yunluo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that it's been found.

She had been sleeping for a long time and her mind was a little foggy, so she simply leaned against the bed.

“Xiao Luo…” Qin Rou, Wang Shi, Hu Zi’s mother, Pang Ya, Shi Xiaoyu, and Yun Lan all came. They were all happy to see that Yun Luo had woken up.

But there seemed to be something amiss in that joy.

Yunlu sensed something was off and couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen? Why do you all look like that? By the way, what happened after I passed out last night?"

Zhou Rong's eyes reddened. "Xiao Luo, you slept for three days and three nights."

What?

Yunlu was dumbfounded.

Three days and nights?

Does that mean Shen Ling's matter is long over?

She hurriedly asked, "What about Shen Ling?"

"She fell down the mountain and died."

"That's karma, I guess. By the way, where's Brother Qin? I haven't seen him."

At this point, Zhou Rong seemed to be touched and could no longer hold back. She covered her mouth and rushed out, afraid that if she was a step too late, she would lose control.
