Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 306 Husband 1 Wants to Be a Widow (6)

Zhou Shenyun widened his eyes, then closed them, and his head began to feel dizzy.

"Hahaha, luckily we reacted in time, if that bastard had gotten away we would have been at a huge loss."

"This is fate. We didn't intend to buy you to Yinghonglou, but you were unlucky and heard things you shouldn't have heard."

Yao Zhigang was confused after seeing Zhou Shenyun being knocked unconscious by the people from the second house and hearing those words. The people from the second house were so rampant that they dared to engage in the human flesh trafficking business so blatantly.

Seeing Zhou Shenyun fainted, Yao Zhigang was frightened and shouted loudly: "Xiao Yun!"

"Don't worry, you'll be next."

"Do you guys have any law? I'm going to report to the police!"

"Lock this money-loser in the woodshed. Father-in-law, go call my cousin over and remind him not to call the Zhou family."

"Eh!"

Looking at the man who was about to escape through the broken fence, Gu Zaiyi pointed at Yao Zhigang and said, "My dear wife, stop that man!"

"Where to escape!"

The old man was surrounded by three strong women, with a piece of cloth stuffed into his mouth. Before he lost consciousness, he only heard Guer say, "Hurry up, put on the sack to prevent others from seeing you."

About an hour later, Hu Zhaomei sneaked into the Gu family with a handsome man.

"Hello, cousins."

"Stop talking about this, cousin. You said you have a way to increase your worth. Tell us about it."

"The Zhou family didn't come, right?"

Mei Xiaowu drank a sip of water. Hu Zhaomei dragged him to run. He was almost out of breath. He replied: "Cousin, I understand what you mean. A son who is married off is like spilled water. Zhou Shenyun is already the husband of the Gu family. There is no place for the Zhou family to interfere anymore."

"Well, it's good that you understand. This is the Gu family. It's our Gu family who has the final say on whether to sell or divorce. Besides, Zhou Shenyun has been childless for many years, so we can divorce him for this reason."

"My uncle is right. Right now, the war is raging everywhere and we need to make some plans. We are all family, so just give me some money for running errands."

Gur was a little annoyed, so he got straight to the point and asked, "Cousin, how much are these two men worth?"

Mei Xiaowu looked towards the closed woodshed, a few flashes of joy flashed through his mind. Why could Zhou Shenyun be living a better life than him? When he first returned to his parents' home, he was showing off, neatly dressed, and not at all like the rude guy he used to be.

He was not convinced by this point. Anyone could live a better life than him, except for those bastards like Zhou Shenyun who lived a worse life than him.

When they were young, the Zhou brothers bullied the weak, but they were not smart enough, so they were married to vulgar village women. Unlike him, he was about to marry a scholar.

Once he has gathered the dowry for Jiali, she will get engaged to him, and their good days are yet to come.

He was polite, called a few adults over, and told them his plan: "Uncle, cousins, and cousin grandfather, we have three ways of doing business."

"Say it!"

"There are so many ways to sell it, we can just pick the one with the highest price, who would complain about having too much money?"

"The first one, my friend knows a guy, he said the price of the old man and the young man together is about five taels."

After hearing the first method of payment, Hu Zhaomei couldn't help but complain loudly: "Ah! So little?"

Gu Er quickly stopped him, motioning him to be quiet, and then continued: "Uncle, please listen to me first. The second way is to sell it to a rich family. There are two scholars in Wujia Village. They have made friends with rich families. Now someone needs a man, either a servant or a greenhouse servant."

The greed in Gu Er's eyes could no longer be concealed, and he asked eagerly: "How much is it?"

Hu Zhaomei replied: "This is usually around seven taels, but you need certain connections to sell it."

Gu Er seemed satisfied with this answer and continued to ask, "What about the last one? We don't know the price of selling it to Yinghonglou yet. Have you asked about it, cousin?"

"Cousin, I haven't found out the details yet. I can only give you an answer tonight, but usually it's about five taels per person. If she's good-looking and a virgin, the price will be a little higher, sometimes double."

Gu Da lowered her voice, her eyes also flashing with greed, "That man has not been deflowered by Gu Yuxi yet, and the cinnabar on his wrist is still there. He can definitely be sold for a good price."

She was so excited that she almost jumped up, as if she saw white silver flying before her eyes.

Several men nearby also echoed excitedly, "In this way, we can probably get more than ten taels of silver. That's more than ten taels!"

Some people couldn't help rubbing their hands, imagining the upcoming wealth.

"Hahaha, of course."

Guda couldn't stop smiling, and her husband also smiled and said, "Wife, we will have a lot of money soon." He had already started to think about how to use this unexpected money.

"Speak quietly, don't let anyone hear it." The man looked around nervously, afraid that someone would discover their plan.

Then he said to Guda mysteriously: "Once my cousin has found a buyer, we will sell the person and all the money will go into our pockets."

They smiled at each other, their hearts filled with anticipation and joy.

Looking at the ugly faces of those people, Mei Xiaowu secretly clenched his fists. The Gu family was greedy and would not give him much. It seemed that he could only rob others.

Ma Dazhuo is the cousin of a wealthy man in the city. She specializes in lending money to people. She always gets back dozens of taels of silver from the money she lends out, and can earn a lot of interest in a year.

Now, she owns a lot of land. Because she has the support of her cousin, many people dare not offend her for fear of being forced to pay back their debts.

A few days ago, when Ma Dazhuo came here to collect the money, she happened to see Zhou Shenyun. So, she asked if she could sell Zhou Shenyun to her. She asked for twenty taels, which was not a small amount!

Mei Xiaowu muttered to himself, thinking that the price was really too high.

If Zhou Shenyun could be sold, he would get a lot of money. Moreover, he could sell them separately, and the old man would be worth one or two taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Mei Xiaowu couldn't help laughing. He said to his uncle: "Don't worry, uncle, the fewer people know about this, the better. We must act as soon as possible and not let others find out."

"That's right. Xiaowu, go check on the buyer over there. If the effect of the medicine wears off, we'll be in trouble." Hu Zhaomei urged anxiously.

"Cousin, it is important to find out the situation in Yinghonglou. We need to get the result as soon as possible before dark and carry the person out in the dark."

"I'll be there right away. Sorry to bother you guys here, cousin."

Gur waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, cousin. We will keep the man under guard here."

Mei Xiaowu turned around and stopped smiling, then left the Gu family and walked quickly towards the county town, hoping to see Ma Dazhuo soon...
