The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 405 - 227: Selling the Children

The Zhaang family, Zhaang Laosi was beaten black and blue by the people from Chunfeng Lou.

The two children kept crying.

"Cry, cry, cry, you both bring bad luck, both are jinxes. If you keep crying, I’ll sell you, believe it or not?"

Damn it, the people from Chunfeng Lou are stupid and blame him.

Ten taels of silver to buy a person, they couldn’t take him away themselves, turned around and came to make trouble, demanding a refund.

The money had long been gambled away, not to mention he got beaten up, he was also forced to sign a promissory note for a debt of twenty taels, which he must repay within a month or have his hand chopped off.

Seeing him being beaten, neither his parents nor brothers at home came forward to help him.

The two children only knew how to cry, it was really irritating.

Thinking about selling the children suddenly seemed like a great idea.

"Mom, we want mom..."

"Alright, alright, let’s go, I’m taking you to find your mom."

Life can’t go on like this, better to be without two kids than without a hand.

Ten taels of silver each is not unreasonable, right?

One in each hand.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to town to buy candy. We’ll find your mom after you eat it, but you mustn’t cry."

The two children believed him, obediently wiped their tears.

"Dad, Xiao Er hasn’t cried, see, being good."

"That’s right, being good." Zhaang Laosi thought, just because you look obedient, you can be bought and treated as a son by someone else.

The father and his two sons were heading towards the town.

At a fork in the road halfway there, they encountered Luo Daya and the others.

"Mom, mom..."

The father indeed didn’t lie to them, they found their mom.

"Niuniu, Xiao Er, where are you going?"

"Dad is taking us to town to buy candy and find mom." Xiao Er happily wanted to run over to hug his mom, but his hand was firmly held by his father.

"Zhaang Laosi, what are you up to?"

Luo Daya was shocked, that’s not the road to Shuikou Village, that’s really the road to town.

With Zhaang Laosi’s character, how could he possibly buy candy for the kids?

His silver is spent on wine and a laugh from the women in the brothel, and definitely not on his children and wife.

Seeing Zhaang Laosi’s bruised face, Luo Daya remembered those people saying they would be back to ask Zhaang Laosi for a refund.

Therefore, he ran out of silver, he’d bring the two children to exchange for silver!

Just thinking about this possibility made Luo Daya tremble.

"Zhaang Laosi, you beast, even a tiger doesn’t eat its offspring, yet you want to sell Niuniu and Erbao..."

She couldn’t continue speaking further due to her anxiousness, scared the children would suffer psychological scars.

"You silly woman, what does this have to do with you?"

Zhaang Laosi, blind with gambling losses, seeing Luo Daya standing here was the reason he got beaten.

If he couldn’t sell the big one, why can’t he sell the small ones?

But he didn’t expect selling the small ones would also go south, running into her.

"Zhaang Laosi, you’re a beast, give me back the children or I’ll fight you to the death."

"Your life isn’t worth much silver either." Zhaang Laosi naturally refused to let the children go to Luo Daya, clinging to their hands tightly: "Come on, let’s see who pulls harder."

"Dad, Mom, it hurts, my hand hurts."

Erbao wailed and cried intensely.

"You beast, let go!"

Luo Daya cried too, not wanting the children to suffer, not daring to use force, causing herself to be pulled along by him.

"Daya, let go first."

Aunt Luo walked over, raised the stick in her hand and fiercely struck Zhaang Laosi.

"Bastard, I’ll teach you to sell my daughter, my daughter was married to the Zhaang family, not sold to you all, daring to sell my daughter, let’s see if I don’t beat you to death..."

"Nothing happened, I didn’t sell her, she wouldn’t go with them and caused me to lose ten taels of silver."

"You still dare to talk back." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Aunt Luo continued striking him with the stick.

"No more hitting, don’t hit, it hurts, it really hurts."

Hurting is good, not harming doesn’t teach a lesson.

"People, help, they are beating someone to death."

Zhaang Laosi cried out in distress, yelling for help.

Just then, a passing member of the Zhaang family saw it, immediately ran back to call people.

In a short while, people from the Zhaang family arrived, twenty or thirty gathered around them.

Leading them was an aged elder, undoubtedly, this was the Clan Leader of the Zhaang family.

"What’s the matter, where do you come from people to mess around on the Zhaang family’s turf?"

Someone quietly informed the elder that Luo Daya was Zhaang Laosi’s wife.

"Outrageous, the wife’s mother running wild at the Zhaang family’s place, tie them all up, question them well, see what conspiracy they have."

"I dare anyone to!"

A sharp voice sounded from outside the crowd.

Aunt Luo saw Luo Xiaogang bringing his men along with a group of people, tears couldn’t help but flow down.

"Husband, you finally came, we mother and daughter were bullied miserably."

Uncle Luo rushed forward, guarded his wife and daughter behind him.

"Which one of you is the Clan Leader, step forward and speak."

Uncle Luo’s loud voice, backed by the thirty strong brothers behind him.

Hearing that Brother Luo’s eldest daughter was bullied by her in-laws, none of them continued their work, all came to support him.

"May I ask who you are?"

"I am Luo Daya’s father, are you the Clan Leader?"

"Indeed I am." The clan leader looked at the strong men behind him: "The Luo and Zhaang families no matter what are bound by marriage, there’s no need to do this, right?"

Each one seemed ready to fight.

"Clan Leader, you are a sensible person, the reason things have come to this aren’t because we are unreasonable, but because Zhaang Laosi went too far." Uncle Luo said: "The Luo family only marries daughters, doesn’t sell them, who knew marrying into the Zhaang family, she’d be sold off by her in-laws, this is something we cannot swallow."

"What did you say?" The Clan Leader was evidently incredulous: "Zhaang Laosi wanted to sell his wife?"

"Yes, people from Chunfeng Lou brought the contract for selling to take my daughter away." Uncle Luo said: "While the Luo family may not be capable of much, protecting a daughter is still within our means. These are all uncles and brothers who watched Daya grow up, they won’t allow Daya to be humiliated this way."

"Dad, he not only wanted to sell me, but also Niuniu and Dabaobao." Luo Daya said: "Dad, uncles, please help me."

"Clan Leader, you heard right? This Zhaang Laosi is a despicable thing, scum of your Zhaang family, are you sure you want to protect him?"

"Is this true?" The Clan Leader turned to ask Zhaang Laosi.

Zhaang Laosi hung his head, dared not make a sound.

"You scoundrel, who told you to do that."

An unfortunate family affair, encountering such a worthless person bringing disgrace to his old face.

"You quickly apologize to your father-in-law and promise to live well, don’t do such things again." The Clan Leader said: "Or no one, not even gods can save you!"
