"You, are they telling the truth?"

Bada. The backpack in Jiuniang's hands fell to the ground, the herbs scattered all over the floor. She took two steps back and raised her head. She had always known that she didn't like him, but she still did her best to curry her favor, do what she could, and think about Fang'er's money so that she could reduce her burden. But... But she never thought that ?

Two taels of silver, a mere two taels of silver ?

"You ?." "You ?"

This was the first time Jiuniang was using such a gaze to stare at him. Madame Gu Yu rubbed her hands in guilt, but she quickly calmed herself down and gloomily stared at Jiuniang. "Get lost, it's not your turn to speak."

"It's not my turn to speak, hur hur. It's not my turn to speak, are you planning to give me to a fool as a wife with two taels of silver?" Are you really my mother? "How can there be a mother like you?"

He didn't deny it? She didn't deny it?

Is that true? Her heart, was in so much pain, so much pain, she felt as if someone had ruthlessly stabbed him with a knife. One of his hands was covering her chest, and Jiuniang felt that it was difficult to breathe. However ? But no matter what, she just couldn't laugh, and her tears just fell.

Seeing the Rhodobryum Roseum, her first reaction was that she must think of a way to earn some money back from Xu Baiwan. This way, Mother wouldn't have to work so hard.

She had always thought that the reason her mother wasn't cold towards her was because the pressure in her life was too great. After all, a woman with two children ?

However ? But she didn't expect ?

"Aiyo, you said that." "You don't want to follow your orders?" Madame Zhang had already recovered from her shock, after hearing Jiuniang's words, her face immediately darkened as she stared at Jiuniang with her hands on her waist in contempt: "Look at how you're acting, you're still being picky with your current appearance, are you not willing? "Let's see if we're happy or not!"

Before they came, Madame Zhang had indeed asked around about Jiuniang, but shshedid not expect it to be so scary. Seeing that Old Madame Yu was really scared this time, and was deeply afraid that she would cause trouble for herself when they returned, he could only vent her anger on Jiuniang.

"That, that..." It's not like that, it's not... That wasn't what she meant. She was embarrassed, embarrassed ? "It really isn't ?"

Hearing Madame Zhang's words, Madame Gu Yu could not care less about Jiuniang and tried to explain things to him. She had to look for so many families before someone came knocking on their door with great difficulty, who knows how long it would take if she were to miss it. Originally, she was not very anxious, but seeing that their relationship was getting closer and closer, she had no choice but to think of a way to get rid of Jinyu as soon as possible.

"If that's not what you mean, then what is it?" I say, have you been blinded by lard? This kind of person, who was neither human nor ghost, actually wanted two taels of silver? Are you crazy! "If it wasn't for you, I would have already lost money!"

The Old Madame Yu also reacted, previously, when she saw Jiuniang's face full of blood, she was shocked, but after she reacted, he did not feel that it was scary anymore. After all, she had lived for so many decades and had never seen anything like it. Even though her face was covered in blood, it was still much more pleasing to look at than the pustules on her face. Furthermore, she had remembered Madame Zhang's words. She had wanted to leave right away, but after seeing so many people, she had no idea who they were, so she could only suppress her anger and continue watching.

"No, not..." No, I, I didn't... I didn't ask for two taels of silver... I just... "But ?"

At this moment, not to mention 2 taels of silver, as long as he could send her out, she would accept it even if he didn't give her any money. However, she was afraid that the Madame Zhang would leave with the Old Madame Yu in front of her, so the more anxious she was, the more confused she became.

"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you. With your looks, not only did you not scare him to death, you even managed to get away with it!"

Madame Zhang had been doing this for many years, she knew what she had to do with just a single sentence from this Old Madame Yu.

It seemed that his words from before had already angered her. It seemed that even she, as a grandma, knew that it would be difficult for her son to serve him three meals a day with all of his hands and legs. Although this girl had a scary face, she seemed to be someone who could put in hard work.

"This, this is easy to talk about, easy to talk about ?"

Madame Zhang and Old Madame Yu did not turn to leave. Madame Gu Yu was smiling excitedly as she kept bowing, as if she wanted to gift Jiuniang to him for free.

Jiuniang stood to the side and watched coldly. It was the first time she had seen Madame Gu Yu like this, and looking at her flattering face, she felt her heart turn cold.

"Madame Zhang, this is the person you were looking for!" "Take a look, take a look!" Seeing Madame Gu Yu's actions, Old Madame Yu's heart had already come to a decision. Thinking about her son's situation, she couldn't help but be hungry for her to not compromise, but ? 'Two taels of silver! 'She was unwilling to accept this loss ? So...

"My dear lady, you are my dear lady. I really don't know. If I knew, how could I dare lie to you?" "You must believe me in this matter; I really don't know about it. Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid even the servants wouldn't be willing to accept him. Naturally, such an appearance is not worth two taels of silver."

Who exactly was Old Madame Yu? Madame Zhang had probably already decided, she only wanted to suppress the price, with her personality, it was not good for Madame Zhang to say anything, she could only say something nice. Selling it to someone else to become a maidservant, at most, would only make someone fit to be a servant. But Old Madame Yu's son was lying paralyzed on the bed, she was counting on her wife to support him in the future. The situation was naturally different, but Madame Zhang would naturally not say anything.

"That, that..." As long as, as long as... "There can be fewer..."

It was not that Madame Gu Yu did not think about selling Jiuniang to others to become their maidservant, but in this countryside, there were very few people who bought maidservant. And now, she was also anxious to chase Jiuniang out. It was not easy to get such a family, so naturally she didn't want to miss it.

"Hmph, at most five hundred coins. That's all!"

Madame Gu Yu's way of doing things was completely different from a normal parent, the two of them were dumbstruck, she had to at least ask them about the situation at home. Yet this Madame Gu Yu still took the initiative to take a step back, the two of them swept their gaze over Jiuniang, confirming that she was not crippled nor crippled, and was completely confused. After a long while, Old Madame Yu coldly spat out a number.

It wasn't hard to buy a girl with two taels of silver, but buying a wife and having to be responsible for supporting her son for the rest of his life wasn't an easy thing to do. Madame Zhang accompanied Old Madame Yu and found many other families, other than those who were also disabled, even he himself was unable to take care of himself, and those who used all their strength and legs would not agree. Even if it was five hundred gold, she would only probe. If Madame Gu Yu did not agree, then even she would be willing to part with two hundred ?

But...

"Fine, 500 words is enough ?"

Just as the Old Madame Yu finished speaking, Madame Gu Yu's mood changed instantly and she nodded with a smile across her face.

It had been a few months, but this was the first time Jiuniang had seen Madame Gu Yu smile, and in an instant, it was as if her entire person had become several years younger.

"Huh?" "You ?"

Madame Zhang and Old Madame Yu were stunned at the same time, and couldn't believe their own ears for a long time.

This, this Madame Gu Yu actually agreed to it?

Were they really hearing things correctly?

"Alright, alright, this is such a great surprise. This is a good match made in heaven. In two days, we'll send someone to your house to be your matchmaker!"

"Madame Zhang did not expect the situation to turn out like this. Five hundred gold, forget about buying a big live person, even if he bought a small pig, he would still not be able to do so. Fearing that Madame Gu Yu would go back on her words, Madame Zhang immediately started to type:" Five hundred gold, Aunt, take twenty gold as the deposit and bring the rest along with the matchmaker. "

"Good, good!"

After such a good thing passed in this village, there would no longer be such a shop. Old Madame Yu was both surprised and happy. Logically speaking, they were only here to see him. Something like a deposit would naturally have to wait until this person came to the door with them. Old Madame Yu was originally a very stingy person, it would be even harder than ascending to the heavens if he wanted to take money out of her hands. Today, she said that she was here to watch. Normally, people would bring gifts when they visit, but Old Madame Yu did not have that intention. After rummaging through her clothes, she finally found twenty coins and handed it over to Madame Gu Yu hurriedly. "Come, come, quickly take it. This is the deposit. We will settle this girl's money in the future."

Five hundred coins, she had originally been speaking without thinking, but she had never thought that Madame Gu Yu would agree to it without hesitation. In her heart, Old Madame Yu was worried that Madame Gu Yu would go back on his words and hurriedly stuffed it back in. She was afraid that she might have made a slip of the tongue just now and didn't forget to remind her once again. At the same time, she was smiling like a flower.

"Yes, yes, in the future ?" "In the future, my little girl will ?"

"Pah!"

After walking up to Old Madame Yu in a few steps, Jiuniang slapped away the copper coin in Old Madame Yu's hand, fiercely glared at her and coldly said: "I've already promised someone, it's impossible for me to set a second house."

With that, she did not even look at Madame Gu Yu and turned to enter the room.

"Bang!"

As he closed the door, tears began to fall.

Leaning against the door, a hand tightly clutched at his chest. His heart ached, it hurt ? He felt as if he had been ruthlessly stabbed by something. The pain was difficult to penetrate.

Five hundred gold, hehe, I never thought that Madame Gu Yu would actually sell me for merely five hundred gold!

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt, and the more tears welled up in his eyes.

"You ?." You shameless little hoof, what nonsense are you spouting! When did you decide on her? "Don't you dare spout nonsense here!"

Seeing the door shut, Madame Gu Yu took a while to react, and her entire face suddenly turned black.

As he pounded on the door, he shouted, "You slut, open the door and watch your mother teach you a lesson. You're getting more and more out of hand. You can say anything you like!" "Hurry up and open the door!"

"I, I say Madame Gu Yu, what do you mean by this?" Did your girl decide on someone else? "Are you trying to cheat on me?"

He originally thought that he could get a cheap deal and get himself a wife for five hundred coins. However, who would have thought that he would be so happy that he wouldn't even have a chance to enjoy it? Old Madame Yu stood blankly on the spot, even forgetting to pick up the copper coin that dropped on the ground.
