Chapter 848: Sell a child ——2?

Old Madam Shen was furious when she realised that she will not be able to get the money from Shen Li, she wished she could rush ahead and then snatch the money from Shen Li's hands but as soon as she tried to take a step close to the barricade she was pushed back by the guards.          

    

Though Yu Dong did not say much, she did relay enough information to the two women who were standing outside the barricade.      

It was just as the two women suspected, Old Madam Shen had sold off her son because she wanted money but now that she was in trouble and found out that her eldest son was rich, she came looking for Shen Li asking him to lend her money.      

Though buying and selling mer was normal, trying to reach out to the ones who were doing well after being sold was truly shameless.     

How selfish one can be?

What was more this Old Madam Shen saw that her son was scolded in front of everyone because he tried to give money to her including getting a threat of divorce but she still wanted to chase after her son, wanting him to give her money.     

What did it mean? Did it not mean that she cared more about money than her son? This alone was enough to annoy the two women who were standing guard outside and they refused to let Old Madam Shen go inside the village.     

" You…" Old Madam Shen was furious but there was nothing that she could do against these women who were stronger than her.      

She could only glare at them hatefully before turning on her heels and stomping away, Shen Hanxing who was behind her mother also glared at the two guards along with Shen Li and Yu Dong.     

In her eyes, as long as Shen Li threatened Yu Dong with his life or the life of the two children of the Yu family, Yu Dong would have to take a step back but that mer was too timid! He continued to bow his head in front of his wife like an idiot!      

"I should have drowned that son of a bastard the very second he was born!" Old Madam Shen cursed as soon as she was out of earshot of the two guards. " Ten taels! I only asked for ten taels!? Did you see those livestock that his wife brought home? Those alone might have caused more than fifty taels but he refused to let us have even ten taels! How can he be such a foolish boy!"      

Shen Hanxing's expression was ugly as well, she wanted to snatch those ten taels from Shen Li and she might have succeeded if Yu Dong did not return to the village so soon.      Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

Even if those taels were snatched away by them, the one who would have gotten the beating would be Shen Li because he was the one who handed it to them. But it was their bad luck, that Yu Dong arrived so quickly.     

" Now what are we supposed to do? The liquor shop boss is going to come and ask for money in two days, if we don't arrange for money tomorrow then what will happen to us?" Old Madam Shen asked worriedly as she looked at Shen Hanxing whose expression turned ugly when she heard her mother's words and glared at the latter.      

" What do you mean by us? You were the one who accumulated that debt, so you might as well pay it!" Shen Hanxing was really ruthless when it came to her personal benefits and safety, she did not care whether or not her mother would be able to survive the beatings that she might receive from the liquor shop owner as long as Shen Hanxing was able to keep herself safe.      

Old Madam Shen wanted to say something but then she heard a voice call her from behind,      

" Excuse me?"

The voice was full of solicitation but the mother and daughter pair who were panicking did not hear the sly note in the voice of the woman who was standing behind them and turned to look at her with a confused pair of eyes.      

" Yes?" Shen Hanxing raised a brow as she questioned the woman who was standing behind her. " What do you want?"      

Qi Qing who was standing behind Shen Hanxing and Old Madam Shen smiled at the two of them with a polite expression on her face. Just now she was lurking around the Big River Village hoping that a child would sneak out and she will be able to catch him but the villagers of the Big River Village were too cautious, forget about a child not even a dog could be seen sneaking outside.      

She was about to leave but then she heard the commotion these two women were causing in front of the village entrance of the Big River Village and heard this old woman mention young children twice which was why she stopped and waited for them.     

" My surname is Wen and I go by the name Xinyu. I live in the Big Mountain village and I was going to buy some ration in the town, when I heard you two speaking, from what I heard, I am sure that you are in trouble and need money urgently."     

Qi Qing used the identity of another woman in the Big Mountain Village as she introduced herself in fact she knew that these two women were in a hurry to get money which was why even if her lie was a lie which can be easily seen through, these two would not be able to sense anything amiss.     

Sure enough, when Old Madam Shen heard Qi Qing introduce herself, she did not even bother to think it over twice and simply said, " Yes we do, but why are you asking? Can you help us or what?"      

" I can indeed help you," Qi Qing smiled as she patted her chest and then said with a grin, " You see I am a human trafficker before getting hit by the flood, I could easily buy and sell young children but ever since flood struck the town it's hard for me to sell young kids…since no one is willing to sell their kids to me, what about you? Are you willing, I will hand you two silver taels if you sell a child to me…in case that child is sold at a higher price, I will hand you the remaining eight taels, what do you say?" ——————————xoxo——————-
