C54 Sale of the Body to Save the Father

"Give way, give way, please." Cui Yingtong had always loved to be busy. She pulled Su Mingyue and the rest to the front of the crowd.

At the front of the group was a girl in plain clothes kneeling. She looked one or two years older than them, and her appearance could also be considered handsome. Her face was covered in tears, and the most eye-catching part was a board in front of her with words written on it.

Most of the people were illiterate, and there was a scholar who volunteered to read the words on the sign in front of them.

It probably meant that the girl had lost her mother when she was young and had been living with her father, but after meeting with the rain during the night, the girl's father was seriously ill and had spent all the savings in his family without any thought. However, the girl couldn't bear to see her father die like this, so she voluntarily sold herself to a large family as a servant, using the money she had earned in exchange to treat her father's illness.

She was such a filial daughter, and everyone praised her. With a child by her side, she was going to use this matter to educate her own children. She was going to teach them a lesson so that they wouldn't be unfilial and disobedient in the future.

"Take a look, this is exactly the same as the one in the notebook." Cui Yingtong said in surprise.

Reading a book was a good way to pass the time. According to the book, when a woman sold her body and buried her father, she would meet a tyrant. She happened to meet a man who was willing to sacrifice his life to save her.

"Tong'er, let's go somewhere else." Su Mingyue said in a low voice as she pulled Cui Yingtong along. She always felt that this girl was not as simple as you look.

"But won't we help?" Cui Yingtong felt that since they had run into such a situation, they naturally couldn't just sit back and do nothing. As a girl, she would kneel down. If anything happened to her, it wouldn't be good.

"I just don't think it's that simple. Let's not get involved."

"But …" Cui Yingtong was still hesitant. If she did not do anything, wouldn't that be going against the principles of chivalry?

Lin Zhi also advised, "Let's go first. If you really can't bear it, then let the mama by your side check and give some silver to this young lady."

Although she was still a bit hesitant, Cui Yingtong felt that what Lin Zhi and the others said made sense, so she followed them and prepared to leave.

"Miss, please help Su‘er." After avoiding Su Mingyue for a long time, they still couldn't avoid her. Just as they were about to leave, the young girl who was kneeling on the ground suddenly moved, pouncing towards Su Mingyue, wanting to hug her leg.

Su Mingyue shifted her body to the side and dodged the attack. The woman didn't get a chance to hug Su Mingyue's thigh, but instead weakly threw herself onto the ground, wailing in a delicate and weak voice.

"Miss, why are you pouncing on our Miss? What will we do if we get hurt?" Nianxia shouted. Nianxia initially felt sympathy for this girl, but between Su Mingyue and someone she didn't know, Nianxia naturally sided towards Su Mingyue.

At this moment, everyone turned around and looked at Su Mingyue and the rest. Su Mingyue and the rest naturally couldn't leave, and could only wait to see how this situation would turn out.

Su Mingyue's eyes were ice-cold as she looked at the young girl crying on the ground.

"Su‘er didn't mean to offend this young miss. It's just that this young lady's clothes are extraordinary, she must be of good birth. If I can be of service to this young lady, then my father's illness can be cured." Su‘er kowtowed as tears streamed down her face.
