Chapter 187 Let's Make a Deal
"You are worse than an animal! You forced my daughter to die. I will fight you to the death!"
Wang Qiufen's eyes were red and swollen. She stared at Er Laizi and pulled the three children towards him.
Cheng Yue and Chen An immediately made way for them so as not to stop Wang Qiufen and the others from performing well.
"Ah! You stinky bitch! And you three bitches, you unfilial things, dare to fight with me!"
Er Laizi had just been beaten up and had no strength left in his body. Now Wang Qiufen was hitting him in the face, and the three children were pulling his arms and legs. He had no strength to fight back except to curse.
"You beast! If you want to die, just go ahead and die. Why did you drag me and my three daughters into this? I am so unlucky to have met a bastard like you!
I saved your life, so I've repaid you for what I owed you in my previous life! I'm going to beat you to death today, or at worst you can arrest me! Don't even think about harming my daughter!"
Wang Qiufen cried and howled, punching Er Laizi in the face left and right, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
She was used to doing farm work, so her hands were strong to begin with, and now she used all her strength. Er Laizi's big head was hit so hard that it shook left and right, and his face bulged up as if it would bloom in the next second.
Everyone was stunned. In the past, every time Wang Qiufen was beaten and scolded by Er Laizi, she had to endure it in silence. Unexpectedly, she exploded now, and it was obvious that he was going to kill her.
But Er Laizi deserved it. It is said that a child is a piece of flesh that falls from the mother. If someone sets his sights on a child, it would be strange if the mother does not kill him!
Everyone watched coldly, even the village head shook his head and didn't want to do anything. He just watched, as long as he didn't beat him to death!
Er Laizi, this bastard, actually brought the debt collectors from the gambling house to the village, and wanted to harm Chen An and his wife. Even if the people from the gambling house let him go, he would not let him go!
Seeing that no one was trying to stop him, Er Laizi could only shout with all his might, "Take these three bitches away to pay off the debt!"
Several scarred faces reacted, and the leader waved his hand: "Take it away!"
They didn't care whether Er Laizi was dead or alive, as long as they could get the money back. Although these three girls looked thin and small, they could at least get their money back by selling them to others as maids.
Wang Qiufen stopped and held the three children tightly, her eyes terrified: "No! Don't take my children away!"
She could beat the scoundrel, but she couldn't stop a few strong men! What could she do if they took the child away by force?
The village head stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "You can't take it away!"
He would never agree to sell the child in front of him!
"Where did you come from, you old man? Why do you care if someone sells their own child?"
Scarface picked up the knife and pointed it at the head of the village, his eyes bulging with anger. This trip was really unpleasant. There was a woman in front blocking his way to wealth, and now an old man popped up from behind to block his way. It was really frustrating!
Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei tightly grasped each other's arms. Zhang Dashan and his brother's hearts jumped to their throats, "Dad!"
The other party was holding a knife, their father was so brave!
Cheng Yue immediately spoke up: "Brothers, why don't we make a deal?"
There was no way these scarred men would leave empty-handed, and she couldn't just watch her three children being sold.
Besides, Wang Qiufen has a stubborn personality. Who knows what she will do for the sake of her child? What if someone dies...
Now that Li Zheng was being pointed at with a knife, she couldn't just stand by and watch everyone in danger.
It was true that the disaster was caused by Er Laizi, but it had already happened, right at her doorstep, so it had to be resolved!
"What deal?"
Scarface put down his knife and frowned. What idea was this woman going to come up with?
Everyone looked at Cheng Yue nervously. If Cheng Yue couldn't come up with any ideas, the three girls would definitely die!
Cheng Yue said: "You have seen these three children, they are weak and small, they are sick every other day, and now they are frightened. They may get seriously ill as soon as you take them away. Don't make money and lose money. That's not worth it!"
What the scarred faces thought made sense, but when they looked at the three children, they looked pale and thin, shivering. It was hard to say whether they would die in their hands as soon as they were taken away. It would be a loss and bad luck!
But they were unwilling to give up. “Don’t fool me. Who says you will lose money? You have to take it back and sell it to find out!”
Cheng Yue heard that they were stubborn but relaxed, so she had to continue: "You are all smart people, why bother to gamble on this one in a million! Instead of betting on an uncertain one, it is better to take away a certain one."
"Are you sure? Who?"
Cheng Yue pointed at Er Laizi and said, "He! A grown man is more useful than these three girls!
Besides, it is only natural to pay back debts. He should pay back what he owes. As for how to get the money back, you must have plenty of ways."
If children can be sold in the human trafficking, then adults can be sold as well.
Everyone's eyes lit up. Even the head of the village hadn't thought that since Er Laizi owed a debt, it would be only right to sell him to pay off the debt! Why would he need to sell a child?
Cheng Yue is really quick-witted. Why didn’t they think of it?
Besides, Er Laizi has become addicted to gambling. Keeping him would be a nuisance. Who knows, he might bring harm to the whole village one day. If they just sell him, the whole village will save themselves a lot of worry!
Er Laizi was speechless. He would never have expected this to be the outcome!
"cannot……"
As a result, Wang Qiufen blocked his mouth just as the words came out of his mouth, using Erlaizi's own stinky shoes to smother him, which made him roll his eyes.
The scarred faces were a little confused. They had seen wives and children being sold, but they had never seen anyone selling the man who was the head of the family. How could this be possible?
"Brother, why don't you take Er Laizi away? You can sell him as a laborer and get five taels of silver. Otherwise, you can sell him on the black market. At least you won't lose money..."
The scarred-faced leader nodded calmly. He thought about it and felt that he had been taken advantage of. How could five taels of silver be enough?
"With this worthless item of his, aren't we still losing money? He owes us ten taels! How about this, if you can come up with another five taels, we'll take him away right away!"
Wang Qiufen's newly risen hope was instantly shattered, and she was immediately in a panic. The last copper coin in the house was stolen by Er Laizi for gambling, so how could she come up with five taels of silver?
She was too embarrassed to ask the villagers for a loan. The money for her last visit to the doctor was raised by the whole village, and the money for repairing her house later was also raised by the whole village. She could no longer pay back what she owed everyone!
The village head was the first to step forward and said, "I, an old man, will pay two taels!"
This was almost all the family had. Most of it was Shao Wen’s wages, which was reserved for his marriage. But as the head of the village, he couldn’t just stand by and watch!
The Zhang Dashan brothers, Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei had no objections. Wang Qiufen and the child were too pitiful, so they should help if they could; they could not just sit back and do nothing!
The family can earn money again when it runs out, but it is hard to get the children back once they are sold.
As soon as the head of the village expressed his opinion, the men who were building the houses over there all shouted that they wanted to donate money, whether it was a hundred or fifty cents, no matter how much, it was a token of their gratitude.
Wang Qiufen knelt down and kowtowed to everyone. Cheng Yue hurriedly pulled him up and said, "I'll give two taels too!"
The whole village couldn't raise enough money, so she would contribute a little. Five taels of silver was nothing to her, but she couldn't pay it all by herself.
Firstly, we cannot stop others from showing their love. Secondly, the favor is too great. A great favor can be like a great hatred. It is better for the villagers to contribute together than for her to contribute alone.
Besides, it was Er Laizi who deliberately lured people here, so they were the victims. It was already a great honor for her to find a way to solve the problem.
If I were to be too generous and the villagers saw it, what would they think?
