577: Chapter 577: Scarred (2)_1 577: Chapter 577: Scarred (2)_1 âI can remember, I really can.
Next time I will surely remember,â Xun Hui hurriedly swore, âIf I forget againâŠ
ahâŠâ Before she could finish, she screamed in pain.
Yang Ruxin put away the dagger and took out a bottle.
She sprinkled the medicinal powder inside onto the wound on Xun Huiâs hand: âThis wound will scar.
Whenever something happens, look at this scar and youâll know what to doâŠ
My patience is limited; donât exhaust itâŠâ
Xun Huiâs eyes were originally filled with tears of sorrowâher daughter had actually stabbed her.
But now, tears flowed from the searing pain.
The wound itself wasnât that painful, a mere bleeding scratch, something that happened often.
However, after the powder was applied, the bleeding stopped, but the pain was excruciating.
âMother, youâre the type who forgets the pain once the wound heals,â Yang Ruxin was not a bit tender, âSo now Iâve given you a scar to serve as a reminder.
Look at it when you forget, otherwise, I really worry you might end up being sold and still help your buyer count the money.â
âFineâŠâ Although Xun Hui was crying and sniffling, she nodded her head, but still managed to force a smile, âIâm just a widow now, who would sell me?â
âDonât you know that wives are in demand in the big mountains?â Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows, âA widow like you who has borne children is quite valuable.
Iâve heard that those with good looks can sell for up to ten pieces of silver, and even the less attractive ones can fetch eight.
Shared among several brothers, theyâll want you for bearing childrenâŠâ She assessed Xun Hui up and down, âYouâre pretty, and have a good figure, I guess ten pieces of silver wouldnât be a problemâŠâ
Xun Hui took a step back: âXinxin, youâŠâ Her complexion turned somewhat pale, even her lips began to tremble.
âIâm not trying to scare you, do you think those people in the old house never thought of it?â Yang Ruxin sneered, âLast time you fainted, Feng Caie almost sold me to the brothel.
Later, I heard them discussing that if you woke up, they would sell you and us sisters into the mountainsâŠ
Do you think Iâm desperately trying to sever ties with the Yang Family for no reason?
Because I donât want to be sold, do you understand?â
âXinxinâŠâ Tears fell once more from Xun Huiâs eyes.
âDonât cry!â Yang Ruxin frowned and shouted sharply.
She was extremely annoyed by the frequent tears; itâs true that women are made of water, but too much crying is just irritating.
Xun Hui hiccuped and really stopped crying.
âDo they ever consider family affection?â
âXinxin, mother was wrong, truly wrong.
I will definitely remember,â Xun Hui said, wiping the powder from the back of her hand, âIf I forget again in the future, I do not deserve to be your motherâŠâ
âHereâs a task for you, can you do it?â Yang Ruxinâs eyes narrowed slightly.
âYou sayâŠâ Xun Hui nodded with tears, âEven if it costs me my life, I will do it.â
âYou donât need to risk your life,â Yang Ruxin waved her hand dismissively.
âYang Ruyu wonât give up easily.
She will still try every possible way to find you, to win your sympathy.
What I ask of you is to feel sorry for her but never agree to anything she asks.
Push it all onto me, got it?â
Xun Hui nodded vigorously.
âBut you must remember every word she says and report back to me.
And most importantly, never go anywhere alone with her, not even into the village.
You must remember this, or if you really get sold, I wonât be able to find youâŠ
Then you can go to the mountains and be a sow, being mounted by several men in one night, bearing litter after litter of children, and not even know who the father isâŠâ
