After listening to this, Mrs. Cao saw Song Qiu who was blocking the front, and frowned, "What are you doing? You are full and have nothing to do, so why are you meddling in other people's business?"
"I don't want to see my Miao Xiang enjoy her happiness!"
Mrs. Zhang immediately pouted at her, "Are you still enjoying the blessing? Mrs. Cao, your ears are hard to use because of your age, aren't you? Didn't you hear how loud Miao Xiang cried? You want to push your granddaughter into the pit of fire, and you are not afraid.
The ancestors of the Cao family crawled out of their graves in the middle of the night to look for you!"
Mrs. Cao had a guilty conscience to begin with, but when Mrs. Zhang said this, she felt a chill on her back. She couldn't help but rub her hands and arms, and said quickly: "You bad-mouthed Mrs. Zhang, what are you talking about? How could I push my granddaughter into the marriage?"
Is there a fire pit? Don’t say peaches are bad just because you can’t eat them! I envy you! Bah!”
Mrs. Zhang curled her lips, snorted, and looked at Song Qiu.
Song Qiu looked at Mrs. Cao and said directly: "Sell Miao Xiang to me for ten taels of silver."
What?
Mrs. Cao was stunned for a moment. When she heard about the ten taels of silver, she became very angry. She even thought that she was on the wrong side of the job.
When the others heard Song Qiu's words, they were also stunned.
But then they reacted and couldn't help but nod.
The child brides of the left and right also sold Miao Xiang. It is better to buy it for the Song family and do some work than to be a child bride and be groomed under the fence.
They can't come up with these ten taels of silver, but with the current situation of the Song family, they can.
As long as Song Qiu is willing, there is nothing wrong with this.
They all looked closely at Granny Cao, waiting for her answer.
I was sure that I heard it right. Mrs. Cao was really moved by this.
Ten taels of silver were sold right in front of her eyes. I heard that the servants Song Qiu bought had monthly wages, which were not low. When Miao Xiang got her wages for working, she, as a grandmother, could do it at any time.
How great would it be to be able to ask for it?
They can still get ten taels of silver, which is half more than the Huang family. After paying off the debt and buying a wife for their son, there are still seven taels left, which is enough for them to live a relaxed life.
It would be a fool not to agree to such a good thing.
Mrs. Cao was about to nod, but then she came back to her senses. She gritted her teeth and said that she was sending Miao Xiang to enjoy the blessings. She was marrying her, not selling Miao Xiang for five taels of silver.
If Song Qiu was agreed to this, wouldn't that mean she was admitting to selling her granddaughter?
No, no, no, so many people are watching. If you really do this, then you have to point at her and scold her without hiding it?
As soon as Mrs. Cao came to her lips, she changed her words, waved her hands repeatedly, and accused Song Qiulai, saying: "You little girl, how can you live forever just because you have a little money? Look at what you can do, you are so shameless. You are from a village.
Just buy it if you want to buy it? My Miao Xiang is an upright and good citizen, and she is not a servant of Lao Shizi who sold herself into slavery. How can you buy it? Not to mention ten taels, I won’t sell twenty taels!"
Hey, the people in the village couldn't help but look at him with such righteous words.
Is it possible that Madam Cao really sent Miao Xiang to be a child bride for her own good? Did she send her to enjoy happiness?
So the Huang family is really a good family?
Otherwise, why wouldn’t you be tempted by five taels of silver?
If it weren't for Cao Daqiao who did what he did, Miao Xiang refused to live or die, cried and howled, and Cao's mother and son were indifferent behind, they would have really believed what Cao said!
Everyone stared at Mrs. Cao, trying to read something from her face.
Well, look at the twinkling eyes, it's obvious at first glance that he's not telling the truth.
Song Qiu naturally understood it.
Without batting an eyelid, he said, "Eleven taels."
Mrs. Cao's breath tightened, "I told you, I'm not selling my granddaughter!"
"Twelve taels."
Mrs. Cao: Mom, I’m going to faint. I’m going to faint.
"No, no, no! I won't sell my granddaughter!" But being stared at by all the villagers, she still shook her head against her will, her heart ached to death, that was twelve taels!
"Fifteen taels!"
Everyone gasped, mother, fifteen taels! I really want to go to Yahangzi to buy someone. Adults can buy three, almost like that, I can buy four or five!
Their income is small and they cannot earn fifteen taels throughout the year.
Miao Xiang, a seven-year-old girl, is worth fifteen taels of silver, which is quite valuable.
Mrs. Cao could no longer stand still and was about to collapse. She suddenly rose by three taels.
After paying off the debt and buying a wife, I still have twelve taels left!
Oh my gosh!
Fifteen taels, it's too much of a temptation, I really can't refuse it.
She hesitated and hesitated, but she couldn't say the words not to sell as firmly as before.
When everyone looked at her like that, how could they not understand?
Mrs. Cao was feeling hot and panicked. After a lot of fighting between heaven and man, she finally gritted her teeth and said, regardless of everyone's looks, "Sell!"
Face is nothing in front of money!
She wants to buy a wife for her son, eat meat, and live a good life!
Is it possible to get this just by saying a few words?
Nothing!
It’s more important to have money in hand!
Besides, Miao Xiang was bought in the same village, and she could still get the money for her work, which was six hundred taels a month, seven taels a year, fourteen taels two years, three years... ten years...
They, mother and son, don’t have to do anything in their lives, they can eat well and enjoy great blessings!
But if you go to the Huang family, you only get five taels, which is like a buyout. You can't get anything out of it in the future, unless the Huang family kid dies, or Miao Xiang can successfully give birth to a son.
But that's too difficult.
In the case of the Huang family boy, could Miao Xiang survive a year in the past?
It’s not cost-effective to think about it, but it’s still more cost-effective to sell it to the Song family!
Um!
The more Mrs. Cao thought about it, the more she felt that her face was no longer burning.
What are you afraid of being embarrassed about? You’ve got the benefits and your life is better, so who are you afraid of saying?
Make others envious!
"I sold it to you! Fifteen taels of silver, bring it quickly!" Mrs. Cao stepped forward in two steps, spread her hands in front of Song Qiu, and waited to receive the money.
Of course, it was impossible for Song Qiu to give it to her right away. Before she could say anything, the daughter-in-law glared at Granny Cao.
"Ms. Cao, are you going to regret it? You have already collected all the money. There is no reason to back out just yet."
Mrs. Cao was thinking about fifteen taels of silver, and now she couldn't say anything nice to a shy smiling face who had five taels of silver.
Immediately he said: "Miao Xiang is my granddaughter. I can do whatever I want with her. I said she was a child bride, and I didn't sign a deed of sale to you. I just quit when I said so. What? Well, I'll give you back five taels of silver."
, let me keep my granddaughter, you can go on your own!"
After saying that, he took out the five taels of silver that had not been warmed from his body and gave it to his wife.
But the daughter-in-law did not reach out to take it, "You have accepted this money, and you want to withdraw it? No way! I have to take this person away today!"
This girl is solid and hard-working, and the Cao family's mother-in-law seems to love money. When the time comes, she can spend whatever money she has, and she is not afraid of causing trouble, so this girl is the most suitable.
I finally found it, but I can't let it go, and my nephew can't wait there.
The daughter-in-law had a plan in her mind, and she was very tough on her face. She tightened her grip on Miao Xiang, as if she was protecting a chicken.
Mrs. Cao was stunned when she heard this. She didn't want to do this anymore. She had already paid back the money, what else could she refuse to do?
