After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

Seeing so many people gathered at the entrance, the third sister became even more flustered. The people in the village were all vicious and tyrannical; how could they possibly get out safely? She didn't care about herself, but she couldn't let her older brothers and sisters get involved. They were all good people; it wasn't worth it for her.

Her voice was panicked as she addressed the two people sitting on the ground: "Dad, Mom, it's all my fault. Please let them go. I promise you, I promise you I'll marry Uncle Li next door. Please, please, don't make things difficult for them anymore."

She even considered kneeling down and begging them.

Ji Nianci grabbed her and made her stand up straight.

“Sister, we’ve come here today to take you away. You don’t need to beg them anymore, and you don’t need to suffer their oppression anymore. We will definitely take you away from here safely.”

In fact, Ji Nianci didn't know how they could leave safely, but as long as Shen Ceyan was there, she felt at ease.

"You wretched woman, now you know to come begging to me." Liu Gui was in so much pain that he could barely speak, but he still had to say, "When he beat your father like this, why didn't you say anything? I'm your father, you're the one who's siding with outsiders, you really are an ungrateful wretch, ptooey."

The girl just kept crying and didn't say anything.

"What are you doing? It's so noisy..." At this moment, a sleepy voice came from inside the house.

The voice belonged to a teenager who shuffled out of the house in slippers, his face showing the impatience of being woken up.

"Oh dear, my precious son, why are you up?" The woman's expression softened instantly upon seeing him. She quickly stood up and went over to him, saying softly, "Did I disturb you? It's all that good-for-nothing's fault for waking my precious son up. It's alright, go back to sleep."

"How can I sleep with all this noise..." The boy glanced at them and said impatiently, "Tell them to leave now, it's so noisy."

"Okay, okay, it's Mommy's fault. Sweetie, go back to sleep now, I won't make a fuss."

……

Seeing this, I finally understood.

She couldn't even imagine how much suffering this girl had endured here.

Shen Ceyan spoke coldly, "I want to take her away, but she is your daughter, and I will not take her away by force. Tell me, how many do you want?"

The couple were stunned.

They all turned their attention to Shen Ceyan. The man looked like a rich man, so they decided to swindle him out of money.

They glanced at each other, then immediately changed their expressions, their faces instantly becoming obsequious.

Liu Gui chuckled, his eyes gleaming greedily: "Boss, you should have said so earlier. I thought you were going to...take my daughter away. Look at my daughter, she's pretty, hardworking, she can do anything, and she even got into a prestigious university. You see, graduates from top universities are worth a lot, right? And we've worked so hard to raise her, so we definitely need to get paid for our efforts. And you just injured me, so the medical expenses are sure to be a lot too, right? I bet your clothes are very expensive, you must be a rich man. I feel comfortable leaving my daughter with you..."

The woman frowned, pretending to slap Liu Gui: "Oh dear, Guizi, have you forgotten? Didn't we already promise Old Li next door that we'd marry our third sister to him? We've even accepted their betrothal gifts. What will Uncle Li do if our third sister runs off with that big boss?"

Liu Gui slapped his thigh: "That's right, how could I forget about that? What should we do now?"

The couple's back-and-forth banter and their superb acting skills were simply breathtaking.

The girl was so ashamed that she wanted to bury her head in the ground.

"Just tell me, how much?"

Shen Ceyan was too lazy to listen to their roundabout talk and spoke directly.

The couple decided to stop while they were ahead, and Liu Gui gestured, "Three hundred thousand."

Upon hearing this, the villagers standing at the door gasped and began to whisper among themselves.

"Has Guizi gone mad? He actually dares to ask for 300,000? That's outrageous!"

"That's right. When the village chief's son got married, he only gave 50,000 yuan as a bride price. But he asked for 300,000 yuan right away."

"Those rich people aren't stupid, are they? Why would they agree to that..."

Liu Gui also heard their discussion, and his confidence instantly waned. Afraid that the duck he had almost caught would fly away, he quickly spoke up again: "Uh, actually... two..."

"Okay," the man said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Liu Gui, on the other hand, became somewhat suspicious: "You're not trying to scam us country folk, are you? Let me tell you, we only care about money. Not a penny less than 300,000, or you're not leaving."

Shen Ceyan ignored him.

Ji Nianci had some doubts. They didn't have much cash on them, so where were they going to find 300,000 yuan for them? But seeing Shen Ceyan's calm expression, she wasn't worried anymore.

Five minutes later, two tall, burly men appeared outside the crowd.

"The money has arrived." Shen Ceyan's voice remained calm.

Upon hearing this, Liu Gui disregarded his injuries, limped to his feet, and slowly walked to the door, saying to the crowd, "Everyone, make way, make way, the money is here."

Everyone consciously made way for them.

The two people at the door walked straight in.

One of them placed the gleaming silver box on the small wooden table, then opened it, revealing a pile of red banknotes inside.

Upon seeing this scene, the couple's eyes immediately lit up, like wolves and leopards seeing their prey. Their greedy expressions were uncontrollable, as if they wanted to glue their eyes to the scene.

The people outside the door immediately widened their eyes.

They immediately stepped forward, wanting to put their hands on the box.

The man closed the box.

The couple immediately became anxious.

"Why did it close so suddenly? I haven't seen enough yet!"

Shen Ceyan then spoke: "After you've given the money, this girl will have nothing to do with you anymore. From now on, you have no right to interfere with where she goes or what she does. Don't even think about finding out where she is and taking her back. I have countless ways to deal with you."

"Okay, okay, fine." With the money already laid out, the couple had no interest in listening to what he had to say. They just kept nodding and saying, "We agree to everything you say. Take her away quickly."

His eyes never left the box.
