Chapter 44: Good Intentions
Why is it that everyone except my family can eat it? How did I offend An Jiuyue?
“An Jiuyue, what do you mean? Did I offend you in any way? Why are you bullying me? I came here to discuss that with you out of kindness! If you sell a child, you can earn some money and live a better life. Did I do anything wrong? Did my kindness turn into malice?”
“How can you still have the guts to be rude and unreasonable here, w.a.n.g?”
Aunt Ju couldn’t stand it anymore. She rushed up to her with her hands on her hips and retorted angrily.
“Has Jiuyue ever said that she wanted to sell her children? She never said that! You’re the vicious one who wanted to sell Jiuyue’s children! If you want to earn money, go and sell your children! Why aren’t you selling your children?”
!!
“I…” Aunt w.a.n.g was speechless.
“What’s going on?” The Junior Officer frowned. He looked at Aunt w.a.n.g and then at his wife, confused.
“I forgot to tell you about this yesterday. Jiuyue came to tell me that Aunt w.a.n.g has gone over to her place a few times to ask her to sell Rong’er to a family in town. She even said that if Jiuyue didn’t want to sell Rong’er, she would s.n.a.t.c.h him away!”
Aunt Ju emphasized the word ‘s.n.a.t.c.h’.
“Really?”
The Junior Officer’s gaze turned sharp. He glanced at the man behind Aunt w.a.n.g. He was Aunt w.a.n.g’s husband, Old Yu. / ReadNovelFull.com.
“Old miser, are you so poor that you want to s.n.a.t.c.h someone else’s child and sell them?”
“No, no, of course not! Junior Officer, it’s all this woman’s fault. I don’t know anything about this.”
Old Yu waved his hands hastily before looking at Aunt w.a.n.g angrily.
“Why did you poke your nose into other people’s matters? See! You had good intentions at first, but look what happened now! Don’t you dare be so kind to outsiders in the future!”
An Jiuyue was silent.
“Good intentions”? Did they really think I’m easy to bully?
“Darn it! I can’t stand it anymore, Master! How can there be people so unreasonable like them? How can they sell someone else’s child?” Wei Na couldn’t help but curse.
This family disgusts me. How can they decide to sell people as they please? Why don’t they sell themselves instead?
“Why do you care? There are plenty of people who will deal with them,” An Jiuyue sneered.
She did not have to say anything now. Other people standing up for her already.
“Old miser, is that really considered kindness? Look at Jiuyue! She can hunt such a big wild boar easily, and there’s not a single scratch on her! Does she look like she needs to sell her children?”
“Exactly! Such a big wild boar is worth dozens of taels of silver, isn’t it? It’s enough for a family to get by for several years. Why would she need to sell her children?”
“w.a.n.g, you want to sell Rong’er because you received some benefits from someone in town, right? And you were going to give Jiuyue a smaller portion of the earnings and keep the larger portions, weren’t you? You’re really ruthless.”
“If you’re out of money to spend, then sell your grandchildren, w.a.n.g! Why are you targeting others? You’re vicious!”
“That’s right! Look at how chubby your grandson is! There will be someone who will fancy him. It’d be great to sell him! Why are you still keeping him? He’s worth so much money.”
“You… you all…” Hearing everyone’s criticisms, the couple almost vomited blood.
