984: Chapter 984: Donât Resent (3) 984: Chapter 984: Donât Resent (3) Yang Ruxin frowned and glanced at Gu Qingheng.
âIf youâre worried, then go and have a look,â Gu Qingheng smiled, how could he not understand what was on the girlâs mind?
Despite her tough exterior at times, at heart, she was incredibly soft and kind.
She had saved Xiaoyun, and they had gone through life and death together on their journey.
Moreover, the girlâs character was not bad, so it was normal for Ruxin to feel concerned.
If she was to go to the Qian Family, Yang Ruxin wouldnât just go there directly; instead, she first went to her own shop to find Old Man Qian, after all, they were from the same village, so he should know something about the Qian Familyâs affairs.
Upon hearing Yang Ruxin ask about the Qian Family, Old Man Qian couldnât help but sigh, âThat Qian Damao and his wife utterly favor boys over girls and are beyond reason.
They spoil their eldest son to no end.
Over the years, ah, the sisters Xiaoyun have hardly lived decent livesâŠ
I suspect, this time Xiaoyun was sold, itâs probably her elder brotherâs doing.
He has a gambling problemâŠâ
Yang Ruxin felt indescribable emotions well up inside her heart.
They were all flesh and blood of the same parents; how could they show such extreme favoritism?
As for Qian Xiaoyun, She returned home full of joy.
She had endured so much suffering these days, all to come back home and see her family.
But now that she was truly back, all she felt was utter despair.
If it werenât for her concern for her younger sister, she would have turned around and left.
âXiaoyun, how could you come back?â This was the first thing Qian Lishi said upon seeing Qian Xiaoyun enter the house, âBy coming back, arenât you just shaming our family?â
âMother?
YouâŠâ Qian Xiaoyun looked at her mother in shock.
She hadnât expected her mother to treat her well, but shouldnât there be at least a bit of a familial bond?
âWe took the silver, and once youâre married off, it has nothing to do with us,â Qian Lishi interrupted her with a wave of her hand, âNow that youâre married and your reputation is ruined, either go back or jump into the river.
Xiaoyun, donât say that mother is heartless.
I still have to think about your elder brother, right?
With a sister like you, whoâs damaged goods, who would want to marry into this family?â
âMother, how can you say such things about big sister?â Qian Xiaoyunâs younger sister ran over and hugged her, weeping, âIt was you who sold big sister, and you want to sell me too.
Mother, Father, arenât we your own flesh and blood?
We havenât skimped on hard work all these yearsâŠâ
âWhat kind of talk is that?â Qian Damao knocked his pipe, âDonât all girls have to marry off?
What difference does it make how they marry?
Usually, a wedding only requires a dowry of three to five taels of silver.
We even have to provide a dowry.
This time they offered ten taels of silver and didnât ask for a dowry.
Why shouldnât we agree?
Once married, you belong to someone else.
What business do you have running back here?â
âWas I sold by you?â Qian Xiaoyun had always thought it was just bad luck and even if her parents favored her elder brother, they would never actually sell her into the mountains.
It must have been Zhao Feihu who deceived the family, but now she understood that in her parentsâ eyes, she was just something to be traded for money.
Qian Damao stood up, âWe raised you, and itâs only right to get some silver in return.
Donât hold any grudgesâŠâ
âJust go,â Qian Lishi shed tears, âLetâs pretendâŠâ
âFather, Mother, since big sister has come back, let her stay,â to everyoneâs surprise, Qian Baoshun suddenly rushed over, his eyes gleaming.
âSon?â Qian Lishi raised her eyes in astonishment.
