The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Someone's come to kidnap Da Ya!

Aunt Luo quickly ran back.

Chunnuan was also planning to go and take a look, but Zhao Minghua stopped her.

"They're from Chunfeng Tower in the county town. It seems Da Ya has been sold by her husband," Zhao Minghua said. "You shouldn't go over there; things are chaotic, and you might get hurt."

Chunnuan was shocked to hear this.

Marriage is really risky for women. Not only do they marry bad men, but they also get sold out!

That must be terrible.

"You should go and take care of it."

It wasn't that Chunnuan was particularly nosy; it was because the Luo family had lent a helping hand to the Xiao family during their most difficult time, and she remembered that kindness.

“I know,” Zhao Minghua said. “I’ll go take a look.”

The Luo family, three grown men, wanted to kidnap Luo Daya.

"Let's see who dares to kidnap my daughter today."

Aunt Luo grabbed a hoe from the doorway and raised it: "If you want to help my daughter, step over my dead body."

"Woman, I advise you not to be so unreasonable." The old man in the lead slammed a piece of paper on the table: "Look carefully, this is Zhang Siwa's wife-selling document. He sold her to our Chunfeng Pavilion for ten taels of silver."

"Damn it, my daughter only married into the Zhang family, not sold into the Zhang family. What right does he have to sell my daughter?"

Aunt Luo was furious: "That bastard is really crazy. He doesn't care about anything when he goes crazy. He even sold his own wife."

"I don't care about that. The ten taels of silver have already been given to Zhang Laosi. We just need to take our men and leave."

"In broad daylight, you're robbing people! Have you no regard for the law?"

Aunt Luo was visibly panicked.

Daya went from shock to disappointment to despair.

I never imagined that he would actually sell himself to the Chunfeng Brothel.

Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. I never expected that he would not only disregard the bond between husband and wife, but also disregard the dignity of the children.

With a mother who was sold to a brothel, how can the two children ever face anyone again?

"The law is law, I am the law." The old man said, "With a sales contract, I'm not afraid of going to court to the ends of the earth. Besides, General Xia has already given orders to protect our normal business, so what am I afraid of?"

"Men, take him away from me."

"No, you can't take my daughter away, I... I'll fight you to the death."

Luo Xiaogang also took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen.

"None of you are allowed to come in. If you come in, it will be considered robbing a private residence. We can kill you without breaking the law."

Upon hearing this, the group realized that what he said made sense.

However, it's impossible to spend ten taels of silver and still not see anyone.

With gritted teeth and a determined step, I decided to go for it.

They bet that Luo Xiaogang wouldn't dare to actually make a move.

Luo Xiaogang had never actually used a knife before, but he was doing it for his sister, so he closed his eyes and stepped forward, brandishing the cleaver.

"No one is allowed to come over. If you come over and get hurt, you'll deserve it."

However, he was still too incompetent, and was knocked to the ground in just a few moves.

Aunt Luo's hoe was useless; it was no match for the professional thugs.

"Help! They're kidnapping someone..."

With her husband away and her son beaten to the ground, Aunt Luo cried out in despair, hoping that the Xiao family next door could hear her.

"Stop! In broad daylight, you're breaking into a private residence and abducting a young woman!" Aunt Luo heard Zhao Minghua's voice and was moved to tears.

She knew that Chunnuan would not stand idly by.

"Young master, you've misunderstood. We're not here to rob anyone; we're just here to take away the person we bought."

The old man stepped forward and handed the letter of sale to Zhao Minghua.

He has a sharp eye; he could tell at a glance that the person in front of him was either rich or noble. Such a person was not to be trifled with; if one was not careful, even Chunfeng Tower could be shut down.

Who is Zhang Laosi?

"He's Luo Daya's man."

"Did Luo Daya sell herself to the Zhang family?"

"It doesn't seem so. He said he married her."

“Since he married her, what right does he have to sell his wife?” Zhao Minghua said, “He can divorce her, he can agree to a settlement, but he cannot sell her. He has no right to that.”

"No, I still have this contract, and I even gave him ten taels of silver."

“He didn’t buy his wife; he just married her. He has no right to sell her, so the contract is illegal,” Zhao Minghua said. “If you don’t believe me, you can come with me to General Xia’s place and see if the Great Xia Dynasty has any concept of selling wives.”

Zhao Minghua didn't actually know if it was true or not, but he knew that whenever he met General Xia, he would definitely be the one favored.

Who told him to owe me a huge favor?

"But we've already given him the money!"

"You guys are really stupid. He knew you couldn't take Luo Daya away, but he still sold her out. He was just messing with you."

How could this be?
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go find him," Zhao Minghua said. "If you wait any longer, he'll gamble away all his money, and you won't be able to recover the loss."

"But we..."

"Alright, alright, it's no big deal. Here, have two taels of silver for tea. Go find him quickly."

"May I ask your honorable name, young master?"

Coming out and mixing, sooner or later I have to pay it back.

He would be willing to get to know Zhao Minghua.

"I am Zhao Minghua from Baicaotang."

"So you're Young Master Zhao the Third, I've heard so much about you. You're especially straightforward in your dealings." The old man was impressed: "For Young Master Zhao's sake, let's retreat. However, even if we don't sell it this time, that Old Zhang the Fourth will definitely not give up. He might sell it to somewhere else. Just a heads-up, he's not a good person."

"Thank you," Zhao Minghua said. "You should go find him quickly."

"Alright, Young Master Zhao, farewell."

The old man and his two thugs quickly left.

"Uncle, why should we give face to that young master Zhao?"

"You don't know anything," the man cursed. "Do you know how respected Baicaotang is? Giving them face today is also leaving yourself a way out."

"Also, do you know that General Xia and this young master Zhao are brothers-in-law?" the old man said. "Those of us in this line of work have to be flexible and adaptable. If you don't even have this much insight, you'll be back to growing sweet potatoes sooner or later."

You must give them the face they deserve.

Otherwise, you'll lose both your wife and your army.

The saying "A wise man submits to circumstances" means exactly this.

"Oh, I see." The two thugs were quite impressed. "By the way, uncle, is it really true that men can't sell their wives?"

"Nonsense, you can't sell them. How many men have messed around outside and ended up selling their children and wives when they ran out of money, and they still got by?" "Then why did you leave after he said you couldn't sell them?" "I told you, you have to be perceptive. This is giving him face and also giving us a way out. You can't afford to offend someone like that. You should know to go with the flow and not be so stubborn about whether or not they can be sold."

Whether it can be sold or not, isn't that all up to him? (End of Chapter)
