527: Chapter 527: Two Liang of Silver (7)_1 527: Chapter 527: Two Liang of Silver (7)_1 Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows.
The Dong Family suddenly swallowed her saliva, âThatâs not what I meant, what I mean isâŠ
what I mean is sheâs my daughter, how can I bear toâŠâ
âDong Hongmei, your words are hilarious.
Just now you were almost strangling her to death, and now youâre telling me you canât bear it?â Yang Ruxin laughed, âWell, since thatâs the case, letâs forget it then, Mengmeng, go bring Erya backâŠâ
âOkay.â Sanni turned around to run.
âWait.â The Dong Family hastily called out, âI know Erya wonât suffer following you, but she, she is my own flesh and blood, and now youâre asking me to sell her like this, my heartâŠâ
âThen name your price.â
âTen taels.â Before the Dong Family could even speak, Yang Anshi, who was pretending to be poor, couldnât hold back and blurted out, âNot a penny lessâŠâ
Everyone present couldnât help but display odd expressions on their faces.
âTen taels?
Thatâs expensive.â Li Jiaya couldnât help but click her tongue.
âA well-trained girl would only cost five taels of silver, and for such a sickly little thing whose life is uncertain, you actually dare to ask for ten taels?â Fang Tianze couldnât help but click his tongue twice, âSister Xin, your kindness shouldnât be taken advantage of by others as if you were a fool to be swindledâŠâ
âThey think Iâm an easy mark.â Yang Ruxin asked herself; she had lived through two lifetimes, had seen all sorts of people, the ignorant and the foolish were plentiful, but the people of the Yang Familyâs old mansion refreshed her perception time and again.
She finally realized that when people are shameless, they can truly be without limits.
Yang Mancang also sighed, âUncle, Auntie, thereâs a saying that goes âDonât burn bridges in lifeâ; look at the state your family is in.
Isnât it time to awaken?â He couldnât outright say that the two sons they cherished were worthless and couldnât be relied upon in the future.
Yang Peili, however, bowed his head in silence.
âI want no money.â The Dong Family suddenly waved her hand, âIâll give Erya to you for freeâŠâ She knew Eryaâs injuries were so severe that it was uncertain whether she would recover, not to mention the effort and silver it would take to raise a little girl.
âHave Yang Baifu write the Selling Covenant.â Yang Ruxin glanced at the Dong Family.
âHeâŠâ The Dong Family hesitated, âleftâŠâ
âThen who can decide?â Yang Ruxin pulled a face, âI donât want to have disputes later onâŠâ
âIâm her mother; I can make the decisionâŠâ The Dong Family looked at Yang Ruxin, âIâll decideâŠâ
âHow can you decide?
What gives you the right to decide?
Weâre not dead yetâŠâ Yang Anshi, hearing there wouldnât be silver involved, couldnât stay put any longer, swiftly opened the door and came out, but she didnât dare step forward and instead hid behind Yang Peili, âAll these years, did that cursed girl neither eat nor drink?
Without money, Iâd rather she died at home than give her to youâŠâ
âMotherâŠâ The Dong Family shrieked.
âDonât bother.â Yang Anshi glared at the Dong Family, âIn the Yang Family, my word is final.â
âAlright, Iâll make the decision for you.â Yang Mancang also pitied Erya, thinking that if she stayed, she had only a path to death, and was willing to let her follow Yang Ruxin, âTwo taels of silver, and itâs settled.
If you disagree, then Iâm out of thisâŠâ
âIsnât that too little?â Yang Anshi frowned.
Yang Mancang remained silent.
âFine, two taels of silver then.â Yang Anshi finally nodded, thinking to herself that she had managed to get rid of the loss-making burden, and two taels of silver could even buy a new dress for her Baihe.
