Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: It’s really nice to have someone who takes care of everything for him. _1

Liu Sizi and Niu Er fell behind the others, quite a bit further back. So when they encountered the wolf pack, the wolves naturally attacked the two uncle-aged hunters first. It was because of this that Liu Sizi and Niu Er managed to escape.

However, on his way back, Liu Sizi fell and broke an arm, while Niu Er got away with just some scratches from branches and a fright, nothing serious.

As for the two uncle-aged hunters, they were killed by the wolves and then devoured by the pack.

When Mrs. Hongxia saw Liu Sizi return, her heart, which had been worried sick about his safety, was relieved. But seeing that Liu Sizi had broken his arm, she was at her wits’ end because they didn’t have the money to treat him.

Liu Sizi hadn’t planned on going deep into the mountains to hunt, but he couldn’t stand being provoked by others. When Niu Er taunted him, saying that he couldn’t even compare to his father, Old Hunter Liu, who had been hunting since he was young, Liu Sizi got worked up and went hunting with the others.

Little did he know that he would be so unlucky as to encounter a wolf pack.

The piercing, tragic screams of the uncle-aged hunters being bitten by wolves echoed in his ears. Liu Sizi shuddered and broke out into a cold sweat. He swore he would never go into the deep mountains again. It was too terrifying!

Niu Er also didn’t dare to hunt in the deep mountains any longer. He was from a very poor family and had simply wished to try his luck in the mountains.

Upon hearing that the two uncle-aged hunters had met their demise in the mountains, the people of Jiuping Village were even more frightened to venture there.

However, when Aunt Liu Hua saw Mrs. Hongxia worrying over Liu Sizi’s broken arm, she suggested, ”Why don’t you sell San Ya? When my family was in a pinch, we sold Liniang, and that’s how we got the silver to treat my son’s injury. San Ya is still a young girl and quite pretty; she’ll surely fetch more silver than Liniang did.”

Mrs. Hongxia really didn’t want to sell Liu Sanya. After all, she was her own daughter, whom she had carried for ten months. But Liu Sizi was her future support, and she couldn’t just not treat his broken arm.

Moreover, she thought about how Liu Sanya couldn’t possibly marry off now. Rather than leaving her at home to be an embarrassment, it would be better to sell her for some silver to treat Liu Sizi’s arm...

And so, Mrs. Hongxia sold Liu Sanya.

Like Liniang, she was sold to a brothel in TipLiu Town. Since Liu Sanya was still a virgin and fairly attractive, they got a total of six taels of silver for her, four taels more than what Liniang had fetched.

Liniang had only been sold for two taels of silver.

...

Three days later, An Jing and Xiao Changyi only heard that Liu Sanya had been sold by Mrs. Hongxia, and to a brothel at that.

Destined to serve men to survive, her fate was so tragic. Despite Liu Sanya being a problematic person, she was still Old Hunter Liu’s daughter. Even though Xiao Changyi didn’t speak up, An Jing took the initiative and said, ”Husband, let’s redeem her from there and give her some silver to live on. As for what she does afterward, we won’t be involved.”

”Mhm,” Xiao Changyi responded while tightening his grip on An Jing’s hand. It felt so good to have someone who always looked out for him.

An Jing just smiled.

Then, the two of them arrived in TipLiu Town.

In TipLiu Town, there was only one brothel called Fenghua Tower. It wasn’t a large establishment, but it was never short of customers every evening.

Liu Sanya was sold there.

At first, the doorman didn’t let An Jing and Xiao Changyi in. First, because they were poorly dressed, and second, because they were clearly a couple — and what couple would visit a brothel together?
