You are unlucky and I am tough

Chapter 128 I Want Your Wife Too

Bai Jinhu had already inquired about the price at the pawnshop two days ago, paid someone to write two indentures, and made an appointment to bring the people over today. Today, taking advantage of the holiday, he lied to his two daughters that he was going to take them to the city to buy things, and planned to take the people to the pawnshop to sell them.

But I didn't expect Cheng Guqiu to notice something was wrong and insisted on coming along. After knowing that they were going to the dental clinic, he started crying and making a fuss in the street.

Seeing that the agreed time was approaching, Bai Jinhu kicked the man over, kicked him twice more and cursed, "You think I dare not beat you to death, right?"

The two little girls rushed over to block it, and one of them was slapped in the face.

The people around just watched at first, and when they saw that the beating was getting fierce, some people couldn't stand it anymore and tried to dissuade them, but they were just words. People born under the Platinum Tiger family were tall and strong, so no one dared to step forward.

At this moment, Lu Yinyin and Wei Nanxing squeezed to the front row, and Lu Yinyin shouted, "Stop fighting, I'm buying these guys."

When Bai Jinhu heard the voice, he turned around and saw a little girl dressed in rich clothes, followed by a follower who was dressed in ordinary clothes but good-looking.

Bai Jinhu looked up and down at Lu Yinyin. Any piece of jewelry on her head would be enough to support his family for several years. He immediately retracted his foot and gave a flattering smile.

"I wonder where this young lady is from?"

Wei Nanxing, who was pretending to be an attendant, said, "My lady is the eldest daughter of the Lu family in Baima Lane."

Bai Jinhu didn't know anyone from the Lu family, but he used to work in the county government and knew that the people living in Baima Lane were all wealthy families.

He walked forward with a flattering smile, "Miss Lu, what you just said is that you want to buy my two daughters to be servants in your house?"

"Not two, but three."

Lu Yinyin raised her head and chest, holding the airs of a young lady, "I want your wife too. I want her to take care of the flowers and plants in my yard in the future."

Cheng Guqiu stood up with difficulty. Just as he was about to go over, someone grabbed his wrist. When he turned around and saw Cheng Shuang's face, he was so shocked that he almost cried out.

Cheng Shuang quickly reached out to cover her mouth and whispered, "Little aunt, do you believe me? If I do, let him sell you out. Don't resist. I'll explain it to you later."

After saying that, Cheng Shuang immediately retreated back into the crowd and hid behind Wei Qinglang to prevent Bai Jinhu from seeing her.

When Bai Jinhu heard this, even his wife was stunned for a moment, "Ms. Lu, I'm only selling my two daughters, not my wife."

The Daliang Dynasty stipulated that selling one's wife into slavery would automatically dissolve the marriage relationship, and the two would have nothing to do with each other from then on. He still had to keep Cheng Guqiu to serve him, and someone had to do the housework.

Lu Yinyin said calmly, "I'll offer thirty taels of silver. Ten taels of silver per person, would you sell it?"

"Thirty taels? Seriously?"

Bai Jinhu's eyes almost popped out. He sold his two daughters to the pawnbroker for a total of ten taels of silver, but he didn't expect the man to ask for ten taels per person right away.

Bai Jinhu wasn't completely clueless, so he asked, puzzled, "Why is Miss Lu willing to spend so much money to buy two girls and a good-for-nothing old woman?"

Lu Yinyin pretended to be angry and glared at him. "Because you are not a good-for-nothing for beating a woman in the street, I can't stand it. Are you going to sell them or not? If not, forget it. If I didn't sympathize with them, do you think each of them is worth ten taels?"

"Sell, sell, sell. I'll sell it."

Bai Jinhu was not angry when he heard Lu Yinyin calling him a good-for-nothing. It was so rare for him to meet such a sympathetic young lady, and he couldn't miss it.

Anyway, Cheng Guqiu is old and his appearance is not as good as before, so it is better to sell him for some money. He can go back and marry the widow he loves in the same village. As for what the villagers will think of him, he doesn't care.

After thinking about it, Bai Jinhu turned around and pushed Cheng Guqiu, then pulled his two daughters in front of Lu Yinyin.

"Ms. Lu, this woman's indenture hasn't been signed yet. Where do you think we can go to make the deal?"

Lu Yinyin had a stern face full of disgust, snorted and turned away. Wei Nanxing also had a bad face and said, "Let's go to the restaurant in front!"

After entering the restaurant, Lu Yinyin asked the waiter for a private room, and then asked for paper and pen. She asked Wei Nanxing to write a contract for Cheng Guqiu according to the contract of sale that Bai Jinhu had someone write, and then signed and sealed it.

Cheng Guqiu remained expressionless throughout the whole process and did not resist a word. Bai Jinhu thought she had accepted her fate. As for her two daughters who were sobbing quietly, he didn't care even more.

After the contract of sale was signed, all that was left was for the buyer to go to the government to stamp it and pay taxes. Bai Jinhu rubbed his hands and waited expectantly for Lu Yinyin to pay.

Lu Yinyin took a few indentures and turned to look at Wei Nanxing. Wei Nanxing took out thirty taels of silver and put it on the table.

There was disgust in his eyes: "Take the money and get out."

Bai Jinhu stuffed the silver ingots weighing ten taels each into his arms, and cursed in his heart that Wei Nanxing was just a servant of a wealthy family, so what was there to be so arrogant about.

In the end, he didn't even look at his wife and daughter, and just left with the silver in his pocket.

Soon, the only sounds in the room were the sobbing of the two little girls, who lowered their heads and dared not look at anyone. Although Cheng Guqiu did not resist after hearing what Cheng Shuang said, he was confused and uneasy in his heart.

She looked at Lu Yinyin and spoke carefully, "Ms. Lu, you..."

Lu Yinyin changed her previous indifference, showed a sweet smile and stood up to pull Cheng Guqiu, "Auntie, sit down and talk, and you two should stop crying."

She handed over a handkerchief and said, "Wipe your tears. Sister Cheng will be here soon."

Shi Qiuyan and Shi Dongyun saw that the handkerchief handed to them was made of smooth and soft fabric and embroidered with flowers. They didn't dare to take it and quickly waved their hands and wiped their tears with their sleeves.

Wei Nanxing didn't know Cheng Guqiu and didn't know what to say, so he opened the door and went out to bring the others up.

"Sister-in-law!"

Cheng Pan ran in the front and rushed over to hug Cheng Guqiu as soon as he entered the door.

Cheng Guqiu nodded in surprise and reached out to gently touch Cheng Pan's face. "It's been almost two years since we last met. Pan'er has grown taller and looks more and more like your father."

Cheng Pan's eyes were red. "Aunt, I miss you so much, but I was afraid that my uncle-in-law would never come to find you. I'm sorry."

Life has been better in the past few months. It's not that she didn't want to visit her aunt, but since her elder sister didn't mention it, she couldn't bring it up. After all, she and her brother followed her sister to the Wei family, and her brother-in-law was the head of the family.

"I know." Cheng Guqiu smiled with tears in her eyes, "You are the best. As long as I know that you are doing well, I will be relieved."

Cheng Guqiu had known for a long time that Cheng Shuang was married, and that she had left the Cheng family with her younger brother and sister-in-law. After she inquired about it and learned that she was living a good life after marriage, she did not bother her.

Moreover, Chengjia Village is at the end and Baijia Village is at the head, and it takes more than half an hour to walk to them. So even if Cheng Guqiu could hear a lot of news about Chengjia Village in the village, he would not know who was talking about it.

"Sister."

Cheng Shuang led Wei Xinyi into the room and called out in a gentle voice.

After all, she was not the original owner, so she couldn't rush over and hug her as excitedly as Cheng Pan.

Cheng Guqiu turned her head and looked over. Suddenly she felt a sense of strangeness. She seemed not to recognize her niece. The feeling was completely different from before.

Then she saw the man following behind her. He was tall and handsome, with an outstanding appearance. He smiled and nodded to her.

Cheng Guqiu realized that this should be the man Cheng Shuang married.

She quickly wiped away her tears, took a few steps forward, grabbed Cheng Shuang's hand, and asked, "Shuang'er, what on earth is going on?"

Cheng Shuang patted the back of her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, little aunt, Yinyin is our friend, I asked her to buy you out.

But don't worry, you and your two cousins ​​will not be slaves in the future. Once the indenture is stamped by the government and Bai Jinhu sells his wife, you will have no further relationship with him. In a few months, the Lu family will help you get rid of your slave status."

Cheng Guqiu was stunned and shocked when she heard this. She couldn't believe that this was the idea thought up by her weak and timid niece.
