Chapter 8: Buy Yourself
Sure enough, Zeng Rong's words quickly caused several people present to react, Wang and Zeng Guixiang were angry, Zeng Chengchun was suspicious, and Zeng Fuxiang looked at his sister leaning against the wall suspiciously.
What kind of character Zeng Rong is Zeng Fuxiang couldn't be clearer, this sister is both diligent and kind, never willing to talk much and won't do much, if it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't go on, the stepmother would not be willing to take her to change relatives, because most of the work at home is done by her, not only to cook and wash but also to feed pigs and chickens, especially when the stepmother is pregnant with a child, there is more reason not to be lazy.
But even so, Zeng Rong didn't have a word of resentment, seeing that he was sad and blamed himself, but persuaded him, saying that he was not to blame for this matter, the family was poor, and it was good to change relatives, and she also had to marry, and changing relatives could not only solve the problem of the eldest brother, but also make up the tuition of the second brother, which could be regarded as making some contribution to the family.
How do you know that this vicious stepmother is insatiable, seeing that Zeng Rong is so easy to speak, she actually changed her mind, she didn't want to exchange her for relatives, and wanted to secretly sell her for a large sum of money, and what is even more hateful is that her father actually agreed, which forced this sister to commit suicide by jumping into the lake.
But people who have died once will really have such a big change, not only have they become bolder, but they have also become smarter?
When Zeng Fuxiang was analyzing the changes in his sister, he saw his grandmother jump up and shouted: "No, my eldest grandson is eighteen, I must say kiss, I can't delay it any longer." ”
"And my bondage, I can't be in arrears anymore, I've been studying for several years, and I can't give up halfway." Zeng Guixiang also hurriedly said.
"Listen, listen, your eldest brother and second brother and your grandma and your father are all here,
Don't say it's for us, how old are we? It's good to sell your little money to your eldest brother after marrying your second brother for two years, don't you know how expensive your second brother's study is? Tian Shuilan defended herself again.
These words quickly dispelled Zeng Chengchun's suspicions, "Yes, Ah Rong, your mother didn't mean that, you, you, me, me, baby, to blame, you blame your father for not being capable, but your father is also for this family... ”
When Zeng Rong heard this, these people still didn't give up the idea of selling her, but fortunately, she didn't have any nostalgia and expectations for this family, so she quickly interrupted her father's words, "I know, you still have to sell me, say, how much silver can I be worth?" ”
If it weren't for the fear that he would be forcibly taken away by the people of Yaxing if he couldn't wait for his body to get better, Zeng Rong really didn't want to negotiate with these people, because this might expose the secret of his rebirth, after all, she also knew very well what the previous eldest sister was.
"What do you mean? You agreed to sell? As soon as Zeng Chengchun heard his daughter's words, he immediately stood up from the ground.
"Don't, don't, Dad, I beg you, don't sell your eldest sister, don't sell your eldest sister, in the future, I will get up every day before dawn to work with my eldest sister to earn money together, and we can earn money for my eldest brother." Zeng Hua, who was standing in the corner, suddenly ran out and knelt in front of his father.
"Yes, Dad, don't sell my sister, it's really not good, there are two more pigs and two sheep at home, it's spring, just let my sister rush to the mountains to put it." Zeng Fuxiang also pleaded.
"It's easy to say, do you have money to catch pigs and sheep at home? Besides, you can push back your marriage, what about Agui's tuition? It's okay if you don't sell Ah Rong, Ah Gui don't study. Tian Shuilan knew where her husband's weakness was, and said.
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned this, not to mention that Agui didn't agree, even her mother-in-law and husband didn't agree.
Zeng Rong said that it was false not to be disappointed, but the eldest brother and Zeng Hua were able to stand up for her, and she was still a little moved in her heart.
"Let's be straight, how much silver taels am I worth?" Zeng Rong asked again.
"This, this, this depends on where you sell, sell, sell... Zeng Chengchun stammered.
"Twelve taels." Tian Shuilan snatched the words.
"No, twelve taels are sold to Goulan, and I will never agree." Zeng Fuxiang said angrily.
"Then, then ten taels, ten taels, ten taels." Zeng Chengchun replied ashamedly.
"Okay, ten taels yes, give me a year, I will earn ten taels of silver and buy it myself, if you agree, I will give you ten taels of silver in a year at most, if you don't agree, I can only go to the lake again." Zeng Rong made his own conditions.
She wanted to say that it would take two months, but she was afraid of arousing everyone's suspicions, because Xu Jing would indeed not be able to come until two months later.
Of course, she also knew that a year was enough to scare these people, after all, her current identity was just an illiterate peasant girl, why did they believe that she could earn ten taels of silver in a year?
No, as soon as she finished speaking, several people present looked at her suspiciously, and almost simultaneously questioned whether she knew what she was talking about.
"I mean, if you give me a year, I promise to pay you back ten taels of silver, and in the future, you will not sell my mind again." Zeng Rong reiterated it again.
"Sister, you have the ability to earn ten taels of silver a year, why didn't you take it out before?" Zeng Guixiang pondered the taste and asked.
"Yes, do you really have the ability to earn ten taels of silver a year? Then why didn't you say it before, and we won't sell your mind if you say it. Tian Shuilan questioned it, but she was more curious about what kind of confidence this stepdaughter had to say this.
If this is the case, what else will she sell, and directly leave Zeng Rong at home, ten taels a year, twenty taels for two years, and thirty taels for three years, not only can the family's predicament be solved, but her son will have the money to study and marry in the future.
"That's right, Ah Rong, tell your father, what ability do you have to earn ten taels of silver a year?"
Wang was the only one who remained sober, and immediately pursed his lips, "You are also confused, can you believe what a child says?" Who of you adults can earn ten taels of silver a year? ”
"You don't care how I earn this silver, in short, if I can't take out ten taels of silver at that time, you can do with it." Zeng Rong didn't want to explain too much.
From the accident to the present, none of these people asked her if she was unwell, whether she was hungry, etc., they only cared about their own interests, in this case, what else did she hesitate!
