Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 101 You don't mean to buy a man for your mother, do you?
"Peidi, what are you doing here?" Before Peipei could speak, Wang Shuixia noticed her first.

Seeing this, Chen Dagang's eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed her hand and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll sell this girl. How much will you pay, shopkeeper?"

Peipei was terrified and struggled to pull her hand away, but found that she was still too weak and could not break free from Chen Dagang no matter how hard she tried.

With a heavy heart, she imitated Li Ruru and kicked Chen Dagang in the groin.

"Ouch...you brat, how dare you hit me!" Chen Dagang yelled, clutching his pants, and tried to grab her again.

Li Peipei ran quickly to the shopkeeper, took out 100 taels of silver and said loudly, "Shopkeeper, I want to buy a few men, tall and strong men."

Upon seeing the silver, the broker immediately beamed and said, "Oh, young lady, you've come to the right place."

As he spoke, he picked up the silver coin and bit it. After confirming that it was real, the smile on his face became even more genuine.

This infuriated Wang Shuixia and Chen Dagang, who never expected that Pei Di would actually have 100 taels of silver.

Having 100 taels of silver and not saving it for a good time, but instead buying a man, is simply out of her mind.

Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right. Why would a young girl like her buy a man's things?
Is it...

"Peidi, are you planning to buy a man for your mother? Hahaha, do you know that your mother's man is your stepfather?"

Wang Shuixia and Chen Dagang's guesses were revealed by their son, and Chen Jinbang covered his mouth and laughed non-stop.

Seeing their son smile, the two of them also broke into smiles, something they rarely did.

They searched for their son all night yesterday, but thankfully he returned on his own at dawn.

Knowing that their son was worried about his tuition fees for next month, they secretly brought Chen Huaidi out today while their second son was carrying heavy loads and his wife was feeling unwell.

Anyway, since my parents agreed to sell Pei-di last time, they will definitely agree to sell Huai-di this time as well.

They were all worthless girls in the Chen family, and Wang Shuixia and Chen Dagang naturally thought that it was only natural to sell them to raise money for their son's education.

They never dreamed they would run into Peipei at the brokerage firm, and their first thought was to sell her while Li Ruru was away.

The two men, naturally, wouldn't let go of the lamb they had already caught, and went forward to pull Li Peipei away again.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" The brokerage manager pushed the two men aside. "Don't frighten my distinguished guests."

Chen Dagang quickly said, "Shopkeeper, she is my niece, we are family."

“Yes, yes, we don’t want to buy any men, give us our money back.” Wang Shuixia chimed in, reaching out to snatch the silver from the shopkeeper’s hand.

The shopkeeper pushed her away again and asked Li Peipei, "Do you know them?"

Li Peipei shook her head firmly, "I have nothing to do with them. My surname is Li, how could I be their so-called niece?"

Look at these two things that popped out of some stinking ditch; they're just like unruly stray dogs barking everywhere.

They should be chased back to that dark corner with a big stick, so they don't pollute the air and harm others here.

Chen Jinbang roared, "Chen Peidi, you shameless thing!"

Are you out of your mind? You can't even remember your own name?
What you've done is utterly disrespectful to the ancestors of the Chen family and a disgrace to the clan!

Li Peipei rolled her eyes. "What does the Chen family's ancestors have to do with my Li family? What nonsense are you spouting here?"

"Have you lost your mind? You actually think I'd buy a man to serve your Chen family's ancestors?"

"You...you shameless scoundrel, you're utterly disgusting! You unfilial descendant, don't even think about having the Chen family ancestors' protection in the future."

Chen Jinbang was furious. How could someone not even care about their own ancestors? How could they be considered human?
Li Peipei really didn't care about the ancestors of the Chen family; she had never been allowed to enter the ancestral hall or ancestral graves since she was a child.

Zhao said that a young girl was not qualified to offer incense and kneel before the ancestors, and that she was an outsider who would not be able to be buried in the Chen family ancestral grave after her death.

"Hmph, you still expect the Chen family ancestors to protect you? Give me a break! Look at your pathetic state. If the Chen family ancestors were truly divine, why didn't they bless you to pass the imperial examination?"

"I'm afraid it's because you've committed so many evil deeds that even your ancestors despise you."

Li Peipei scoffed, saying she didn't care about any ancestral blessings.

Back when she and her children were being bullied by the Chen family, she had secretly run into the Chen family ancestral hall to pray to the ancestors.

She only prayed that her father would stop beating her mother and that the three sisters could have enough to eat.

Even the ancestors of the Chen family didn't care about this little thing, so what else can we expect from them?

From that time on, Li Peipei knew that ghosts, gods, and ancestors were nothing but deception.

Now she believes Li Ruru's words even more: relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else.

My mother led them away from the Chen family on her own, and she started a small business on her own, living a good life where she could eat meat every day. My mother never relied on heaven or ancestral spirits, and she was the same.

Chen Jinbang's Achilles' heel was that he had studied for many years but had never passed the preliminary examination for the first degree of the imperial examination. This was his Achilles' heel, and no one could touch it.

He was furious and raised his hand to slap him.

Li Peipei darted behind the brokerage manager and deliberately said loudly, "Your brokerage is so chaotic! I can't even buy something in peace. I don't know how you do business."

When the brokerage manager heard that his major client was angry, he was furious.

He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Chen Jinbang's hand, "You little brat who doesn't know what's good for him, how dare you run wild on my turf? Are you tired of living?"

"Let me tell you, if you don't behave yourself, I can kill you with a flick of my finger."

Chen Jinbang felt like his arm was about to be crushed. He cried out in pain, "Ah, it hurts! Let me go!"

Wang Shuixia let out a scream and pounced over; with her around, no one could bully her precious son.

"You crazy woman, get out of here!" The shopkeeper kicked Wang Shuixia to the ground.

Soon, several men rushed in. "Boss, what's wrong? Did these guys cause trouble?"

Several men stared at Chen Dagang and his family. Chen Dagang quickly smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Gentlemen, you've misunderstood. We...we're here to sell a girl."

As he spoke, he shoved Chen Huaidi forward, causing her to stumble and fall towards the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper stepped aside with a look of disgust, and Chen Huaidi fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

"This girl is skinny and not pretty at all. I'm not taking her. You can all get lost."

The shopkeeper gave Chen Huaidi a disdainful look, and the Chen family members all looked as if they had eaten shit.

Wang Shuixia and Chen Dagang disgustedly pulled Chen Huaidi up from the ground, saying, "Useless thing."

They can't even be sold!

Chen Jinbang's face darkened; he still hadn't secured his tuition.

Chen Huaidi was also quite shocked; she never expected that she wouldn't be able to sell her products.

She touched her face, utterly bewildered by life.

Is she ugly? My mother said she's very beautiful and that she'll be able to marry a rich man because of her looks.

Could it be that her mother was lying to her?
Chen Huaidi glared at Li Peipei, her heart filled with boundless jealousy.

Why can Peipei sell her products while she can't? What makes her worse than Peipei?
Chen Huaidi had long since stopped wanting to stay in the Chen family; she wanted to be sold to the Bai family as a maid.

At that time, whether she is serving Madam Bai or Miss Bai, she will be able to see Master Bai.

With that, it would be a foregone conclusion that Master Bai would take a liking to her and make her his concubine.

But this beautiful dream was shattered by a single sentence from the brokerage owner.

Chen Huaidi didn't need Wang Shuixia and her husband to cheat or drag her away; she came willingly on her own.

Wang Shuixia and Chen Dagang thought their niece had been tricked by their sweet talk.

Li Peipei was invited inside by the brokerage firm, where she was served tea and pastries, and treated with great hospitality.

Soon, Li Peipei selected five tall men, each worth 20 taels.

She thought it was a bit expensive, but seeing that the other people were all strong and healthy, she didn't worry too much about it.

They should be able to help Miss Bai.

“Peidi, come here, come to Grandma.”

Suddenly, Zhao's figure appeared on the street, waving and smiling at Li Peipei.

“You’re not my grandmother. My grandmother died a long time ago.” Li Peipei rolled her eyes.

Grandma used to be so stingy with her that she wouldn't even give her wild vegetable porridge, and now she's picking on her mother every day. She might as well be dead.

Passersby watched this scene with curiosity. Zhao quickly stepped forward, grabbed Li Peipei, and said to the onlookers with an embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. My granddaughter doesn't recognize anyone when she throws a tantrum."

Li Peipei was pulled forward by Zhao, and ahead was another brokerage firm.

Li Ruru wasn't here, and she wouldn't let go of this perfect opportunity to sell her granddaughter.
