Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All

Chapter 553: Chapter 337: Selling a Daughter

This reaction really scared everyone, and no one even noticed when Yang Zhangshi took out the kitchen knife.

Looking again at the three children, they were all hiding behind their mother, crying non-stop, not one of them approaching their father.

Erniang came back to her senses, looked at the people present, then at Yang Cheng’s aunt and Yang Cheng, and sighed.

”Xiaomi, go help mom get twenty taels of silver.”

Erniang’s voice clearly reached everyone’s ears, Xiaomi promptly agreed and ran back.

An older woman asked Erniang in surprise, ”Twenty taels, that’s so expensive?”

Such a little girl, dark and thin, buying a girl like her usually costs at most two or three taels of silver.

Erniang helplessly smiled and spread out the selling contract in her hand: ”It says twenty taels on it, it’s already been signed and sealed.”

It meant that as long as Erniang accepted this selling contract and gave the silver, Da Ni would be a servant of the Jiang family.

”Isn’t this cheating, Erniang, maybe they’re just taking advantage of your kindness and deceiving you.”

At this point, some couldn’t help but cast suspicious looks towards Yang Zhangshi.

Yang Zhangshi remained wary of Yang Cheng while explaining.

”I’m sorry, sister-in-law, I also know twenty taels is too much, but if it’s too little, my husband’s mother will easily redeem her, and they will still sell Da Ni to that murderer.”

”That person bought Da Ni for ten taels, essentially buying a life, intending to beat her to death. Now if they want to buy her back, they’ll have to spend twenty taels, which they certainly won’t be willing to do.”

”I specifically went to the city today to have a scribe write this selling contract because I didn’t want them to redeem her back for further torment.”

The village chief helped her, so she naturally wouldn’t expose the village chief, otherwise with the character of her in-laws, even if they couldn’t do anything to the village chief, they would still cause trouble daily.

Because Yang Zhangshi was holding a knife to guard against Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng didn’t dare get too close. No matter how angry he was, he could only let Yang Zhangshi say these words.

”Then you take back these twenty taels, and aren’t you just giving them to your husband’s family? Wouldn’t they still be able to redeem her?”

”That’s different. Since she’s already sold, twenty taels are not the same as ten taels, once they have the silver, how could they be willing to give it back just to exchange for ten taels again?”

”Oh, that’s right.”

”It’s also because Jiang’s second daughter is kind-hearted, isn’t she clearly being taken advantage of?”

People in the crowd whispered, Yang Zhangshi did not speak this time, only let out a cold laugh.

Xiaomi quickly brought out the twenty taels of broken silver and handed it to Erniang, who unfolded the selling contract.

”It’s good that everyone is here, is there anyone who can read? Come take a look at this selling contract, once I give the silver to Yang Zhangshi, this deal is done.”

At this moment, Erniang had already shown a bit of the demeanor of a matriarch, speaking clearly and methodically, calm and unhurried.

”According to Yang Zhangshi’s words, I’m afraid her husband’s parents will still come to make trouble in the future, just let everyone here witness that it was Yang Zhangshi who insisted on selling to me, not that my Jiang family wanted to snatch someone’s wife.”

”Sister-in-law, I can read, I’ll be a witness.”

Someone stepped forward.

”I can read too, I can read too.”

”Erniang, what are you afraid of, with so many of us watching, whoever causes trouble will be against the entire Xiangmu Village!”

”Exactly, exactly.”

The selling contract passed from hand to hand in the crowd, some people couldn’t read, but still wanted to take a look, and it finally returned to Erniang’s hand.

Erniang put away the selling contract, then counted the twenty taels of broken silver, put it in a small pouch, and handed it to Yang Zhangshi.

”Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, sister-in-law.” Yang Zhangshi was finally relieved, pushed Da Ni: ”Da Ni, from now on you’re a member of the Jiang family, work hard, you’ll certainly eat better than at home.”

Da Ni’s tears hadn’t stopped, now her eyes were red and swollen, yet she still nodded, then walked over to Erniang.

With a crying voice, she called, ”Madam, I will work hard in the future.”

With one address, she affirmed her future identity.

Erniang sighed softly, Auntie Yang then pulled her to stand by her side.

On the other side, Yang Cheng saw Yang Zhangshi put away the knife and place the silver, he took a few steps forward: ”Alright, Da Ni is sold, give me the silver, I’ll first...”

The next moment, the kitchen knife swung over again, luckily he dodged quickly, otherwise, his hand would definitely be bleeding.

”What do you want to do now!”

Three times Yang Cheng was resisted by Yang Zhangshi, who had always been silent and endured any bullying and humiliation, and now Yang Cheng was angry.

Yang Zhangshi put away the silver, pulled her two sons to stand up, and glared fiercely at Yang Cheng.
