Guide to raise my cutie husbands-Chapter 844: Why are you making that expression ?

The words of the guard rendered Mother Shen speechless, she wanted to say something but she did not know what to say because what the guard said was indeed right, she knew it very well in her heart what she did when Mother Yu came to buy Shen Li.

In fact, it was rather wrong of her to say that Mother Yu came to buy Shen Li, she was a polite and honest woman when she came to their Shen house, she did not mention 'buying' instead the words that she used were ——' I want your son to marry my daughter.'

That's right! Mother Yu actually came to propose marriage to their Shen family which was so poor that they could not even eat a single meal a day because of her addiction to liquor.

Old Madam Shen still remembered what happened back then.

She was lying on her bed after drinking for an entire night while her husband Ning Yu was massaging her legs as for Shen Li and her second son, Shen Yin, they were cleaning the backyard when someone knocked on their door.

Because she was feeling lazy it was Shi Xi who answered the door and pulled it open only to reveal a very beautiful woman who was strong and tall. At first, Old Madam Shen was worried that the beautiful woman was there to ask for money but then as she entered the house she announced her goal of coming to their house.

'I am here to propose marriage for your eldest son, Madam Shen,' Mother Yu had very politely spoken to her as she lowered her head with her hands on her knees as she continued speaking, ' Your son, Shen Li is honest and gentle which is why I want him to match with my daughter. I am a hunter in the Big River Village and my daughter is the eldest child of our Yu house, if your son marries into my family I will make sure that he will not suffer and get three meals a day. I also own a house in the village and in case you wish to investigate me and my family then you are free to do so.' 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝐦

But Old Madam Shen did not have any interest in investigating a small hunter after all she did not care about her son from the beginning which was why she pursed her lips and said, ' Marriage? How much dowry are you going to hand our family?'

This was the only thing which she cared about which was why she asked this question first and foremost.

' I am just a small hunter, at most I can give you meat for three weeks and some fabrics to your mer son on top of that I can add a total of five taels,' but Mother Yu was not as simple to bully as Mother Shen thought after she was done speaking about the groom's price, she immediately spoke about what kind of dowry she was expecting when Shen Li steps inside her house.

How can Mother Shen be willing to pay that sum? She simply told Mother Yu that she had no money and that if she wanted her son to marry into her house then she can always buy him. At first, she did not believe that Mother Yu will agree but the latter only went away for a few days and then returned before agreeing to buy Shen Li.

She handed her ten taels and brought her to the yamen where they signed the agreement, back then Mother Yu asked whether or not she wanted to come to her village with her son but Madam Shen refused at once, she was already dreaming about how to spend the money which was in her hands, how can she even care about Shen Li?

Who would have thought that her actions from the past would come to slap her in the face like this?

But Old Madam Shen did not want to give up like that if she did not give money to the liquor shop owner, then her daughter will let them break her limbs which would be equivalent to breaking her lifeline!

She could not allow that!

" If you don't call him, then I will die right here, right now for you!" As she spoke Old Madam Shen started to look around, when her gaze fell on a big boulder which was casually thrown to a side, her eyes flickered and she swallowed hard, in fact, she did not wish to take such a step but given how no one was willing to listen to her, she could only take such a drastic step and it was not like they will watch her die right? She was already so old!

Because of this, Old Madam Shen was emboldened and then turned on her heels as she ran towards the boulder which caused the eyes of the guards to flicker.

In fact, they did notice that there was some sort of resemblance between Shen Li and Old Madam Shen but they did not dare to allow her inside the village without getting orders from Yu Dong but now that this old woman was making a fuss was it all right for them to leave her alone like this?

Seeing that the old madam was indeed going to burst open her head on the boulder, the two guards could only stop her. In case something happened to her then they will not be able to explain even if they had more than a hundred mouths.

" Old Madam wait! We will call Master Shen here," said one of the guards as she stopped Old Madam Shen who was almost on the verge of putting her head on the boulder. These were the words which Old Madam Shen wanted to hear the most which was why she stopped at once and then turned to look at the two guards who were standing behind her.

" Thank you…thank you…its this old woman's fault, I will definitely make it up to my son, just have him see me."
