Chapter 57 Beat the Old Man
"Wait a minute, I have something else to say. You want to marry her to an old man just to get some money. I have 20 taels of silver here. How about you sell her to me as a slave?"

Wang Qingyou stopped Wu Xiaohua and said.

There were a lot of people watching the fun outside, and they gasped when they heard Wang Qingyou say twenty taels of silver. This man was really rich. Everyone could see that the materials used in the house were custom-made, and good materials would cost money. Someone calculated that the cost of the materials alone was fifty or sixty taels.

She could actually take out twenty taels of silver to buy Wu Xiaohua, so her family must have quite a bit of money.

Wu Xiaohua smiled with joy. If Wang Qingyou could come up with this money, she wouldn't have to marry the old man. She would do her best to take care of her in the future.

"Mom, since she is willing to pay twenty taels of silver, let's sell Xiaohua to her." Wu Laosan felt that this was the last thing he would do for his daughter. Even though he resented her in his heart, she was still his daughter.

As long as she could get the money, Old Mrs. Wu didn't care who Wu Xiaohua was sold to.

"No." Sun Xiaofang shouted.

Everyone's eyes turned to her.

She said somewhat embarrassedly, "Although the betrothal gift is twenty taels, they also want to give Xiaohua a silver hairpin. The total is more than twenty taels, right? Unless you give us another silver hairpin, we will have to marry Xiaohua off to someone else."

Old Mrs. Wu narrowed her eyes and looked at Sun Xiaofang, "Is this true?"

Sun Xiaofang nodded guiltily.

"Well, Sun Xiaofang, you actually dared to hide the money behind my back. If I don't tell you now, you will embezzle the silver hairpin."

It’s okay to talk about your granddaughter’s matter later, but if your daughter-in-law is disobedient, you can’t delay in teaching her a lesson, otherwise it will encourage her arrogance.

"Mother, there are so many people here. I am also Xiaohua's mother. I have raised her for many years. All the twenty taels of silver my family collected belonged to the public. I just kept a silver hairpin. There is no need to make such a big fuss."

Sun Xiaofang didn't expect that her mother-in-law would not give her face in front of outsiders. She grabbed her hair and said, "Are silver hairpins worthless? If they are not worthless, buy me dozens of them."

"Mom, let's take Xiaohua back first. We'll talk about this matter when we get home." Sun Xiaofang couldn't afford to lose face like this.

But what Old Mrs. Wu wanted was that her daughter-in-law must obey her, listen to her and not have her own little thoughts.

Although it is said that family disgrace should not be made public, it is easier to educate daughters-in-law in front of outsiders and make them more obedient.

Wu Laosan grabbed Sun Xiaofang and slapped her twice, "I'll let you cheat me."

Except for Sun Xiaofang, no one in the family knew about the silver hairpin.

Sun Xiaofang was completely stunned. Didn't they come here to find someone to take back? Why were they making things difficult for her now?

Mrs. Wu was still making sarcastic remarks, "Third sister-in-law, I never knew you were such a person. You are too cunning. I am not like me who has been honest and obedient since I married into the Wu family. I do whatever mother tells me to do and never do anything mother forbids me to do."

The looks from the people around her, her husband's cruelty, and her mother-in-law's oppression all made Sun Xiaofang extremely angry, but she still managed a smile and said, "Mom, I know I was wrong, and I will never do that again, but this person did offer more money than her."

Wang Qingyou burst into laughter.

Sun Xiaofang looked at her with a frown. Is this person stupid? How can she still laugh if she doesn’t hand the person over to her?
"You admit that you are selling your daughter, right? The highest bidder wins?" Although they did so, they pulled out a fig leaf to save face. Wang Qingyou directly tore off their fig leaf.

Old Madam Wu straightened her face and said, "Don't talk nonsense, little girl. It's more reliable to marry someone than to be a maid."

Wang Qingyou laughed. Although she was not tall enough, her aura seemed to be greater than anyone else’s.

"Aren't you forcing your granddaughter to die? Everyone knows that the old man has beaten three wives to death. Come and see, the Wu family is not human anymore. They married their granddaughter to the old man for money. She is older than her grandfather. Don't marry into the Wu family in the future, otherwise your daughters will be miserable. They might be married to the old man as a concubine at a young age."

"What are you talking about?" Old Mrs. Wu had saliva spurting out of her mouth, and there was a foul smell.

Wang Qingyou covered her mouth and stepped back, "Alright, I know your mouth stinks, please stay away from me, I'm allergic to this."

Old Mrs. Wu had never been said such things to anyone since her mother-in-law passed away and she became the head of the household. She raised her hand and slapped Wang Qingyou in the face.

Wang Qingyou reacted quickly. Not only did she dodge it, she also hit it back with her backhand. Of course, she only used a little force, otherwise she might have knocked out Mrs. Wu's teeth.

Old Madam Wu covered her face with a look of disbelief, "How dare you, you damned girl, hit me? Beat this little whore to death for me."

Wu Xiaohua watched as the Wu family surrounded Wang Qingyou, as if they wanted to eat her alive. She hurriedly tried to stop them, "Stop fighting. I'll go with you."

Wang Guihua held her back.

Wu Xiaohua looked at her in confusion. Wang Qingyou was being beaten, so why didn't she go to help? She used to think that Wang Qingyou had a good mother, but who would have thought that she would just watch her get beaten.

"No need to go, otherwise Youer will be distracted." Although Wang Guihua was also worried about her daughter, these members of the Wu family were definitely no match for her.

The village chief stamped his feet in anxiety, but the Wu family ignored him.

"Go in and smash the little bitch's house, and then take Xiaohua away." Old Mrs. Wu had lost her mind at this point.

Li Wu was not at home, so how could the two women stop them?

He entered the room with such a aggressive attitude that some were kicked away and some were beaten to tears.

Wang Qingyou touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said, "I'm so tired."

"Village chief, look at her bullying us, you have to stand up for us, she hits so hard, a little girl so powerful must be possessed by a demon, village chief, you should burn her with fire, otherwise she will definitely bring misfortune to our village." Seeing that she couldn't win the fight, Old Mrs. Wu went to the village chief to complain.

The village chief looked very unhappy. "Aren't you very capable? I just told you not to do it, not to do it, but you didn't listen to me. Now you come to me?"

Old Mrs. Wu looked embarrassed, "I was blinded by her slap in the face."

"Okay, you guys can't beat a little girl and you still have the nerve to go around saying that?"
