Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"Shaoli, Aunt Zhang has something to tell you, someone has taken a liking to your eldest daughter!"

Matchmaker Zhang looked at Wu Shaoli with a beaming smile, "Do you know Song Zhihu's family in Xiayang Village? His youngest son has taken a liking to your eldest daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Daya, who was standing nearby, turned deathly pale.

"Old Song's youngest son is incredibly handsome, and he's only fifteen years old! Aunt Zhang isn't lying to you, but the Song family is considered one of the wealthiest households in Xiayang Village!"

"Your eldest daughter is ten years old this year. Send her to his family to be raised for another three or four years, and she can marry into the Song family!"

When Zhang the matchmaker thought about the red envelope that Old Song's family had promised her, her words became even more sincere.

"The Song family has said that if you parents agree, they're willing to give a bride price of 350 yuan, plus a bicycle and a sewing machine!"

"You have so many daughters; raising seven girls is a waste of food!"

"Sending one out sooner will save on food supplies and earn you a lot of money to pay off Fang Wei's huge debt to the credit union. Isn't that a fantastic thing?"

"Shaoli, let me tell you, this is a marriage that most people would kill for! You and Fangwei should really think it over!"

At this moment, Wu Shaoli, Wu Xiaoqin, and Wu Faguo's faces all turned gloomy and terrifying.

As luck would have it, Fang Wei walked into the house at that moment and saw his parents-in-law. He immediately smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, what brings you here today?"

"Perfect timing! I just slaughtered some piglets today, you can stay and eat them—"

"Dawei, Aunt Zhang has come to bring you good news!"

Before he could finish speaking, Matchmaker Zhang rushed forward, grabbed his arm, and said affectionately, "Didn't you ask Zhao Laosan to find a husband for your daughter?"

"How can we trouble a man like him with this? Aunt Zhang has already found a husband for your daughter!"

"It's the Song family from Xiayang Village! They're willing to give a bride price of 350 yuan!"

"What?"

The matchmaker, Zhang, rattled off a string of words, completely baffling Fang Wei. "What husband's family? When did I ask Zhao Laosan to find a husband for Da Ya?"

"Wow--"

Da Ya suddenly broke down and cried.

She clung tightly to Wu Shaoli's waist, her voice becoming shrill and thin as she wailed.

"Mommy—I don't want to—I don't want to be sold—Mommy—I want to stay with my sisters—I don't want to go—"

Seeing their eldest sister crying so miserably, the girls, though they hadn't fully understood what Zhang the matchmaker meant, also started crying in fear.

In an instant, the Fang family courtyard was filled with the sound of girls crying.

Seeing her eldest daughter crying so miserably, Wu Shaoli immediately hugged her tightly and couldn't help but cry along with her.

After hearing what the matchmaker said, Wu Faguo and Wu Xiaoqin were convinced that Fang Wei, that beast, was going to sell Daya to pay off his debts!

"You beastly bastard!!!"

Wu Faguo suddenly roared, saw the large broom next to the kitchen, ran over to pick it up, ran towards Fang Wei, raised the broom and smashed it down hard.

Wu Xiaoqin was also trembling with anger. She took off her shoes and joined her husband in beating Fang Wei.

"I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard! That's your own daughter!"

The two elderly people kept cursing and beating Fang Wei.

"How could you bear to sell her for money? You're a beast, a dog!"

Fang Wei originally intended to dodge, but seeing the angry and desperate looks in the eyes of the two elderly people, he remained standing and did not move.

He simply raised his arms to protect his head, letting his father-in-law and mother-in-law vent their anger.

"Dad! Mom! There must be some misunderstanding!"

Wu Shaoli shouted anxiously from the side, trying to rush over and pull her parents away, but her daughters clung tightly to her legs and wouldn't let go, making it impossible for her to take a step.

She still believes in Fang Wei.

After all, their family already had over two hundred yuan in savings. Even if Fang Wei wanted to repay the money from the credit union, there was no need for him to sell Daya!

Even if... Fang Wei did say something about finding a husband for Daya before, that was before he decided to be a good person.

She felt that Fang Wei would definitely not agree to this now!

"Dad! Mom! Stop fighting! Let Fang Wei speak first!"

Seeing that Daya was so frightened that all she could do was cry, Wu Shaoli quickly said, "Daya! Daya! Your father didn't want to sell you!"

"Didn't he just say a couple of days ago that he'd send you and Er Ya to school? How could he possibly sell you?"

Daya didn't notice what her mother was saying at all, and continued to cry a few more times before her voice gradually subsided.

Yup!

If her father were selling her, why would he say he would send her to school?

She knew that the girls in the village who were getting married couldn't continue their studies, just like Sister Huihui!

"Hey, why are you two hitting Fang Wei?"

Instead of trying to break up the fight, Matchmaker Zhang watched the spectacle with amusement, laughing, "The Song family will be bringing real gold and silver!"

"These days, who has a ten-year-old girl worth that much money? Fang Wei is just doing it for the family's good!"

"As long as you take that bride price, your remaining granddaughters will all live! Your daughters' lives will also be a little easier!"

"Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak here?!"

Wu Xiaoqin glared fiercely at Zhang the matchmaker, "You heartless woman! What era are we living in? How dare you arrange this kind of matchmaking!"

"I will... I will definitely get the police to arrest you!"

"Hey! What do you mean by that?"

Hearing this, the matchmaker Zhang became angry. "I came here out of kindness to help your family with the marriage! Besides, the Song family didn't say they wanted to get married right now!"

"Fang Wei can't afford to support this whole family. Sending Daya there sooner might allow her to enjoy a better life sooner!"

"Besides, daughters grow up and leave home; sooner or later they'll belong to someone else's family!"

"They get engaged at ten, have the wedding banquet at fourteen or fifteen, and then wait until they turn eighteen to get their marriage certificate. Which family in this whole area doesn't do it this way?!"

"roll!"

Fang Wei blocked the large broom in Wu Faguo's hand, then suddenly roared at Zhang the matchmaker, "My daughter isn't someone just anyone can marry!"

After saying that, he snatched the broom from his father-in-law's hand and started chasing people away.

"Go back and tell that old Song family! They'd better stay far away from me from now on, or I'll beat up their whole family!"

"Hey hey hey!"

Zhang, the matchmaker, never expected Fang Wei to dare to hit her, and cried out in pain.

"Fang Wei, are you crazy?! How dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am?! Be careful, no one will dare to arrange a marriage for your daughter again!"
