"You, are they telling the truth?"

With a "pa da" sound, the backpack dropped to the ground. The herbs scattered all over the place. She took two steps back and raised her head. Her black and white eyes were filled with injuries. She had always known that she didn't like him, but she still did her best to curry her favor, do what she could, and think about Fang'er's money so that she could reduce her burden. But... But she never thought that …

Two taels of silver, a mere two taels of silver …

"You …." "You …"

This was the first time she was being stared at like this. Gu Yu rubbed her hands guiltily, but she quickly calmed down and gloomily stared at her. "Get lost, it's not your turn to speak."

"It's not my turn to speak, hur hur. It's not my turn to speak, are you planning to give me to a fool as a wife with two taels of silver?" Are you really my mother? "How can there be a mother like you?"

He didn't deny it? She didn't deny it?

Is that true? Her heart, it hurt, it hurt. She felt as if someone had stabbed her with a knife ruthlessly, one hand covering her chest. Nona felt that it was hard to breathe, so she bit her lips to tell herself, laugh, laugh … However … But no matter what, she just couldn't laugh, and her tears just fell.

Even if all the pustules on her face were scraped off, it wouldn't be as painful as this. Her first reaction when she saw the Heart Recovering Grass was that she must find a way to earn some money back from Xu Mantian. This way, her mother wouldn't have to work so hard.

She had always thought that the reason her mother wasn't cold towards her was because the pressure in her life was too great. After all, a woman with two children …

However … But she didn't expect …

"Aiyo, you said that." "You don't want to follow your orders?" At this moment, Zhang Shi had already recovered from her shock. Hearing Jiu Niang's words, her face immediately changed. With a dark face, she stared at her with her hands on her hips in contempt. "What are you looking at? You're being picky with your current state, are you not willing?" "Let's see if we're happy or not!"

Before coming here, the Zhang Clan had indeed enquired about Nona, but they did not expect her to be so frightening. Seeing that he had scared old lady Yu quite badly this time, and was deeply afraid that she would cause trouble for him when he returned, he could only vent all his anger on Nona.

"That, that..." It's not like that, it's not... That wasn't what she meant. She was embarrassed, embarrassed … "It really isn't …"

Gu Yu's wife couldn't care less about Jiu Niang after hearing Zhang's words. She had gone through so much trouble to find so many people who were willing to pay her a visit. If she missed it, who knew how long she'd have to wait. Originally, she wasn't in a rush, but seeing that her relationship with Jin Yu was getting closer, she had no choice but to find a way to get rid of her earlier.

"If that's not what you mean, then what is it?" I say, have you been blinded by lard? This kind of person, who was neither human nor ghost, actually wanted two taels of silver? Are you crazy! "If it wasn't for you, I would have already lost money!"

At this moment, Old Lady Yu had also reacted. Earlier, she was just frightened by the fresh blood on Jiu Niang's face. After reacting to it, she didn't feel any more terrified. After all, he had lived for so many decades and had never seen anything like it. Even though his face was covered in blood, it was still much more pleasing to look at than the pustules on his face. Furthermore, she had also remembered the words of the Zhang Clan. She originally wanted to pat her butt and leave, but after seeing so many people, she could only suppress her anger and take a look.

"No, not..." No, I, I didn't... I didn't ask for two taels of silver... I just... "But …"

At this moment, not to mention 2 taels of silver, as long as he could send her out, she would accept it even if he didn't give her any money. However, she couldn't say it in front of Jiu Niang, but she was afraid that the Zhang family would leave with old lady Yu. The more anxious she was, the more confused she became.

"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you. With your looks, not only did you not scare him to death, you even managed to get away with it!"

Zhang Shi had worked in this profession for many years. As long as this old lady Yu said something, she would have the answer in her heart.

It seemed that his words from before had already angered her. It seemed that even she, as a grandma, knew that it would be difficult for her son to serve him three meals a day with all of his hands and legs. Although this girl had a scary face, she seemed to be someone who could put in hard work.

"This, this is easy to talk about, easy to talk about …"

Mrs Zhang and Old Madam Yu didn't turn around to leave. Gu Yu accompanied her with an excited smile and kept bowing. It was as if she wanted nothing more than to send Nine Niang away for free.

Jiu Niang stood to the side and watched coldly. This was the first time she had seen Gu Yu's appearance. Looking at her fawning face, she felt her heart go cold.

"Mrs. Zhang, this is the person you're looking for!" "Take a look, take a look!" Seeing Gu Yu's actions, Old Madam Yu's heart had already come to a conclusion. Thinking about her son's situation, she couldn't help but be hungry and uncompromising, but … 'Two taels of silver! 'She was unwilling to accept this loss … So...

"My dear lady, you are my dear lady. I really don't know. If I knew, how could I dare lie to you?" "You must believe me in this matter; I really don't know about it. Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid even the servants wouldn't be willing to accept him. Naturally, such an appearance is not worth two taels of silver."

She was afraid that she had already made up her mind. Right now, she only wanted to suppress the price, but with her overbearing personality, it wasn't good for her to say anything. She could only speak in a pleasant tone. If he sold her to someone else to be a servant, she would at most be a servant. Old Lady Yu's son was lying on the bed, and he was counting on his wife for support in the future. The situation was naturally different, but Lady Zhang naturally wouldn't say anything.

"That, that..." As long as, as long as... "There can be fewer..."

It wasn't that Lady Yu didn't think of selling her to someone else as a servant girl, but there weren't many people who bought a servant girl in the countryside. Those who could afford to buy one had to at least grow a sign. And now, she was in a hurry to chase Jiu Niang out. It was not easy to get such a house, so she naturally didn't want to miss it.

"Hmph, at most five hundred coins. That's all!"

Gu Yu's behavior was completely different from a normal parent's. The two of them were dumbfounded, she had to at least ask them about the family's situation. However, this Gu Yu actually took the initiative to take a step back. The two of them scanned Jiu Niang up and down to confirm that she was not crippled except for her face. Their minds were filled with confusion. After a long while, old lady Yu coldly spat out a number.

It wasn't hard to buy a girl with two taels of silver, but buying a wife and having to be responsible for supporting her son for the rest of his life wasn't an easy thing to do. Mrs Zhang accompanied Old Lady Yu to look for a lot of houses. Other than those with disabilities, which she was unable to take care of herself, she would not allow those who were willing to go all out with everything they had. Five hundred gold coins, she only wanted to test it out. If Gu Yu's wife didn't agree, then she would be willing to part with two …

But...

"Fine, 500 words is enough …"

Right after Old Lady Yu finished speaking, Gu Yu's mood instantly turned sunny and she nodded with a smile.

It had been a few months, but this was the first time Jiu Niang saw Gu Yu's smile. In an instant, she seemed to have aged several years.

"Huh?" "You …"

Mrs Zhang and Old Madam Yu were stunned at the same time. They found it hard to believe their own ears.

This, this Gu Yu family actually agreed?

Were they really hearing things correctly?

"Alright, alright, this is such a great surprise. This is a good match made in heaven. In two days, we'll send someone to your house to be your matchmaker!"

Mrs Zhang didn't expect things to turn out like this. Five hundred gold coins, let alone a living person, even a piglet couldn't be bought. Afraid that Mrs Yu would go back on her word, she immediately typed: "Five hundred gold coins, aunt, take twenty gold coins as the deposit and wait for the matchmaker to bring the rest."

"Good, good!"

After such a good thing had passed, there wouldn't be such a shop in this village. Old Lady Yu was both surprised and happy at the same time. Logically speaking, they were only here to see him. Something like a deposit would naturally have to wait until this person came to the door with them. However, she was afraid that this matter would become unfounded, so she decided to be more at ease. Old lady Yu was originally a very stingy person, it would be even harder for her to take money out of her hands than to ascend to the heavens. Today, she said that she was here to see him. Normally, people would bring gifts when they came to visit. However, Old Lady Yu didn't have any intention of doing so. She rummaged through her clothes until she finally found twenty coins. She hurriedly handed it to Gu Yu. "Here, here, take it. This is the deposit. We'll book this girl in the future."

She had originally said five hundred words without thinking. She never would have thought that Gu Yu would agree without hesitation. This was like she had picked up a huge advantage. Old Madam Yu was worried that Gu Yu would go back on her word and quickly stuffed it in. She was afraid that Gu Ruoyun had spoken wrongly and didn't forget to remind her again. At the same time, she was smiling like a flower.

"Yes, yes, in the future …" "In the future, my little girl will …"

"Pah!"

She walked in quick steps and slapped away the bronze coin in the old lady's hand. She glared at her and said coldly, "I've already promised someone to help me, so it's impossible for me to arrange a second house."

With that, he turned and walked into the room without even looking at Gu Yu.

"Bang!"

As he closed the door, tears began to fall.

Leaning against the door, a hand tightly clutched at his chest. His heart ached, it hurt … He felt as if he had been ruthlessly stabbed by something. The pain was difficult to penetrate.

Five hundred gold coins! Hehe, I didn't think that Gu Yu's family would sell me for a mere five hundred gold coins!

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt, and the more tears welled up in his eyes.

"You …." You shameless little hoof, what nonsense are you spouting! When did you decide on her? "Don't you dare spout nonsense here!"

After the door closed, Gu Yu's face turned black.

As he pounded on the door, he shouted, "You slut, open the door and watch your mother teach you a lesson. You're getting more and more out of hand. You can say anything you like!" "Hurry up and open the door!"

"I-I mean, Mrs. Gu, what do you mean?" Did your girl decide on someone else? "Are you trying to cheat on me?"

He originally thought that he could get a cheap deal and get himself a wife for five hundred coins. However, who would have thought that he would be so happy that he wouldn't even have a chance to enjoy it? Old Madam Yu stood dumbly on the spot. She even forgot to pick up the copper coin that dropped on the ground.
