A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.

Zhai Cuihong's heart burned even hotter.

Fifty taels!

Her mouth was dry, and she was also a little jealous: "...Can they really sell that many? They seem to really care about that money-losing product, would they really be willing to sell it?"

Mother Zhai glanced at her: "Do you think everyone is as good to their daughter as your mother? If I were heartless, I could marry you off to an old man as a concubine and get a dozen or so taels of silver in return. I'm doing this because I love you and want you to have a good life. So if the Song family is sensible and offers a dowry of twenty taels, I'll reluctantly agree to let you marry into their family... Otherwise, they shouldn't even think about marrying such a good girl from our family for free!"

Zhai Cuihong couldn't help but nod.

That's right, without twenty taels of silver, Song Yueping can forget about marrying her!

After Zhai Cuihong had said so much to her mother, her mother realized that her son hadn't said a word. Remembering her son's earlier request for money, she quickly smiled and said, "Son, we don't have any extra money after the New Year. Just wait a bit. Once your eldest sister has finalized the betrothal gifts with the Song family, we'll have money. Then you can buy whatever you want, and I'll find you a beautiful wife..."

“Mother,” Zhai Yongnan said slowly, “I have an idea.”

"Son, you speak."

A strange light shone in Zhai Yongnan's eyes: "I've taken a liking to that Song Yanyan! ...Let's not let the Song family sell Song Yanyan. Anyway, the money from the sale is going to help me get a wife. Why not just marry my eldest sister off to the Song family and have them marry Song Yanyan off to us!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions on Zhai's mother and Zhai Cuihong's faces immediately changed.

Zhai Cuihong's face turned extremely ugly, and she blurted out, "Don't even think about it! That Song Yanyan doesn't deserve to trade with me! What kind of trash is she!"

Mother Zhai also realized what was happening, and her expression turned rather unpleasant. However, she always doted on her only son, Zhai Yongnan, and still tried to persuade him gently, "Nan'er, don't act on impulse. Although Song Yanyan is pretty, her temperament is terrible. I only said one thing to Song Yueping just now, and she had ten or eight things waiting for me. If someone with that kind of temperament marries into our family as your daughter-in-law, we probably won't have a single day of peace."

After a pause, Mother Zhai coaxed, "Nan'er, be good. When the Song family sends twenty taels of silver, I'll find you the prettiest girl in the surrounding area."

"Then Song Yanyan is the most beautiful woman in the surrounding area!" Zhai Yongnan's face turned cold as he shouted excitedly at his mother.

Mother Zhai quickly coaxed, "The Xiang'er you mentioned last time wasn't bad either. Once I get the money, I'll go and propose marriage to you..."

"I don't want her! I want Song Yanyan!"

Zhai Yongnan was in a fit of rage, and being someone who had been pampered since childhood, he wouldn't listen to anything.

Seeing that his mother and older sister both objected, Zhai Yongnan immediately rolled on the ground and started rolling around.

Zhai's mother was both distressed and heartbroken, and quickly went to pull Zhai Yongnan away.

"Nan'er, get up quickly, the ground is so cold, don't catch a cold!"

"No! I won't get up unless you agree! I want Song Yanyan! I want Song Yanyan!"

Zhai Yongnan rolled around on the ground.

Zhai's mother gasped with heartache.

Of course, Zhai's mother wouldn't blame her for her manhood; she would only grow to loathe Song Yanyan even more!

It's all because that shameless little bitch seduced her son!

Shameless... Shameless!

Mother Zhai thought bitterly, "She hasn't even entered the door yet, and that little slut has already bewitched her son so much."

Once we're inside... wouldn't we be able to ride roughshod over her?!

Mother Zhai was naturally unwilling to give in easily.

But Zhai Yongnan was rolling on the ground, and his mother was heartbroken to see him like that.

Zhai Cuihong noticed that her mother's face was turning pale and then red, clearly indicating that she was struggling and hesitating.

She panicked, "Mother, my brother is so capricious! Just a few days ago he was telling you Xiang'er was pretty, and now he's changed his mind again! ... You said it yourself, the Song family sold that little slut, they can get at least fifty taels of silver. At worst, I'll ask the Song family for more dowry, enough for my brother to marry a beautiful girl in a decent way, and we can even build a new house! If we exchange marriages, we'll have nothing! I'm doing this for the family's sake!"

Upon hearing this, Zhai's mother agreed, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.

There was clearly some wavering.

Zhai Yongnan was furious. He got up from the ground, pointed at Zhai Cuihong's nose, and cursed, "Big sister, you're so heartless! You just don't want me to marry someone I like! Let me tell you, I am the root of the Zhai family. You black-hearted wretch, once you get married, you'll belong to someone else's family, and your opinion won't count! I'm going to marry Song Yanyan! I'm going to marry her!"

Zhai Yongnan gave Zhai Cuihong a hard shove.

Zhai Cuihong was almost pushed down by Zhai Yongnan, but she didn't dare to resist. She could only hope that her mother was also annoyed by Song Yanyan and would ruin the matter.

However, Zhai's mother hesitated. Although she had been persuaded by Zhai Cuihong's earlier words, she clearly still wanted Zhai Yongnan to agree: "...Nan'er, what your sister said makes some sense. If you want to get married, you'll need to build a new house, right? Where will the money come from?"

Zhai Yongnan said nonchalantly, "Isn't that simple? Given Song Yueping's unwavering devotion to my sister, the Song family will definitely have to go along with Song Yueping first. We can just say that they originally wanted a dowry of twenty taels of silver, but if they want to marry my sister, in addition to having Song Yanyan marry into the family, they'll have to give an extra ten taels of silver as a dowry. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Mother Zhai couldn't help but feel a little tempted again.

Zhai Cuihong felt a pang of panic and quickly said, "No, Mother, don't you dislike that Song Yanyan?"

Zhai Yongnan shouted, "Mother, if you hate Song Yanyan, then you should let me marry her! If I marry her, you'll be her mother-in-law, and she won't dare to go against your wishes! You can have her bring you water to wash your feet, and you can have her serve you your every need—how wonderful!"

Mother Zhai was completely moved, and her expression relaxed: "So, it doesn't seem like it's impossible after all..."

Zhai Yongnan beamed: "Right, Mom! Just say yes!"

Mother Zhai scolded, "You're so clever!"

His tone even carried a hint of pride.

Zhai Cuihong's eyes reddened with hatred.

Zhai Yongnan glanced smugly at Zhai Cuihong and sneered, "Big sister, I see now! You have a personal grudge against Song Yanyan, don't you? You wish Song Yanyan would be sold into a brothel, don't you? You keep saying you're thinking of the family, but actually you just want to see Song Yanyan ruined! Bah!"

Zhai Cuihong was extremely resentful after being scolded by Zhai Yongnan. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her mother gently pushed her away: "Alright, alright, you don't need to say anything more. This matter is settled. When Song Yueping comes to you again, remind him to have his family find a matchmaker to propose marriage as soon as possible."

Zhai Cuihong pouted, looking rather unhappy.

The Song family sold Song Yanyan, giving her twenty taels as a betrothal gift. The Song family kept the rest of the money. After she married Song Yueping, she encouraged Song Yueping to ask his mother for the money. Wouldn't that make life much better?

It's all Song Yanyan's fault. She's so young, yet she already has the demeanor of a vixen. Her younger brother only met her once, but he was already completely bewitched and insisted on marrying her!
