Chapter 30 Shocking Change
Chapter 30 Shocking Change
Xu Nianren is numb.
You were the one who said you'd save them, and now you're the one who's starting to feel jealous.
I told you to go and rescue them.
If you pay her, then the girl will cling to you and become your slave.
What does it have to do with me?
Xu Nian's headache worsened.
"Get up. You don't need to be a beast of burden. Just live a good life."
After hesitating for a moment, he slipped a few more pieces of silver into her hand.
The reason he didn't give her the whole ingot of silver was because he was afraid that someone would snatch it away after he gave it to her and left.
If the child refuses to hand him over, he might even be beaten.
At such a young age, anyone could bully her.
If a fight really breaks out, injuries and even death are possible.
But if you give me small change, then no.
They were already living a hard life; anyone who bullied such a child would be despised.
It's not worth risking public wrath for a few scraps of silver.
Moreover, even evil people have a conscience.
"Take this. Find a way to make a living and support yourself in the future," Xu Nian said gently.
The girl took the silver with both her small hands and held it together.
He stared blankly at Xu Nian.
My heart is filled with nothing but gratitude.
I felt as if I had encountered a celestial being.
She is the deity whom my mother prays to day and night.
Now, a deity has arrived and saved both his mother and himself.
Are all immortals this good-looking?
This deity was like this, and so was the deity not far behind him.
They are all extremely good-looking people.
Even in her worn-out gray robe, her ethereal beauty was still undeniable.
Like a banished immortal from a painting, a celestial being from heaven.
As they spoke, a large crowd had already gathered around them.
They were all just there to watch the show.
Seeing that Xu Nian was the mother of the girl who paid for her burial.
They gave her some loose change to help her make a living.
They all nodded.
We commend this act of kindness.
Of course, a small number of people scoffed and felt sorry for him, thinking that this kid had money but nowhere to spend it.
If we give them these two ingots of silver.
That's enough to go to a brothel... no! Enough to have a month of fun at a brothel!
What a waste! What a complete waste!
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a bruised and swollen face staggered into the crowd from the south.
His eyes were burning with excitement, as if he were extremely excited.
Despite being covered in injuries, the wounds were still faintly visible.
But at this moment, I am very excited.
The pace is very fast.
Squeezing into the innermost part, she cried out, "Xiaoxiao! Have you been sold? You've sold yourself! Your Uncle Jiang said someone offered two taels of silver to buy you! Quickly give the silver to your father!"
The girl, who was kneeling on the ground, saw the man.
Her eyes were red, and her ashen face was filled with hatred.
My mother wouldn't have died if she had just listened to the doctor and bought medicine every month.
Taking your medicine on time will help control the illness.
It was originally a minor illness; all I needed to do was take good care of myself.
But this man, his own father, was a compulsive gambler.
They sold everything in the house.
In the end, he owed the gambling den a large sum of money.
He stole the money his mother had saved for medicine and went back to gambling.
They lost everything.
I got beaten up.
He came back and took his anger out on his mother and himself.
The already seriously ill mother was beaten to death by this man.
I think of how my mother used to pray to the gods day and night.
Pray for this man.
To help him break his gambling addiction.
Praying day and night.
Xiao Xiao felt sad and ironic.
Upon seeing him now, Xiaoxiao wished she could kill him on the spot.
It's just a pity that I haven't grown up yet; I'm too young and too weak.
Otherwise, I would definitely kill him.
"Xiaoxiao! That man gave you the silver! Quickly give it to your father! Your father will definitely earn it back this time! Then... then we'll buy a big house! Then we'll buy your mother herbal soup! Tonics! Top-quality tonics! Quickly! Give your father the silver! Two ingots of silver!"
The onlookers frowned or crossed their arms and watched the spectacle unfold.
Xu Nian had no expression.
He simply stood protectively in front of the girl.
On the contrary, Wu Qinghuan, who always had a calm and composed demeanor, had her eyebrows raised in anger.
His pale red eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Before Xu Nian could speak, the shop assistant who had already been entrusted with burying the woman frowned.
They were all big and burly.
Dealing with someone whose injuries haven't healed yet is a piece of cake.
"That sir has already given me the silver, which is for the funeral expenses. I can keep the rest for myself. Don't cause any trouble."
"What do you mean 'give it to you'! That's mine!" the middle-aged man roared.
His eyes lit up when he saw the silver in the waiter's hand.
It was as if a starving wolf had spotted its prey.
He pounced on it in an instant.
The guy wasn't one to be trifled with either; seeing him coming over, he kicked him right away.
"Screw you!"
Several people around him also gathered around, each kicking him.
He kicked him hard.
I've disliked this guy for a long time.
They came here to drive people away because the girl was affecting the restaurant's business.
It wasn't directed at her.
But seeing this situation now, these men, who were not inherently malicious, were furious.
This guy still dares to come up and cause trouble?
It would be strange if we didn't beat him up!
"That's my money! You're...robbing me! I'm going to sue you! I absolutely will! That's my money!"
He struggled to his feet.
His face was covered in blood, and he looked quite frightening.
He didn't get angry, but looked at the girl in a flattering manner, "Xiaoxiao, isn't that the money you got from selling yourself? Give it to your father quickly. Your mother will be buried by your father. Two ingots of silver are enough for us to live a good life. Didn't you want to buy your mother candied hawthorns? Your father will buy them for you today."
It would have been better if he hadn't said these things; after he did, Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red.
I can't tell if it's hatred or sadness.
But it was clear that the girl was in immense pain.
"You're not my father! I'm not your daughter! I don't have a father like you!"
Xiao Xiao's voice was hoarse.
The man frowned upon hearing this.
"Give me the money! I gave birth to you! The money you earned from selling yourself is mine! Give it to me! You bastard!"
When he first saw Xiaoxiao selling herself on the street to bury her mother, he thought it was just a child's idea.
So thin and small? Who would buy you?
It would be better to wait a few years until they grow a bit bigger and then sell them into a brothel.
We can sell it for a good price then.
He never expected that Xiaoxiao could actually be bought, and for two ingots of silver!
If I had known someone would offer so much, I would have sold her off long ago!
"You worthless wretch! You ingrate! You ungrateful beast! Give me the money or I'll beat you to death!" The man was furious when he saw Xiaoxiao glaring at him.
If it weren't for these two ingots of silver...
I've been using it for a while now.
Now that the little beast wouldn't give it to him, the man stopped pretending.
He raised his hand and slapped the girl's cheek.
The onlookers frowned, but no one intervened.
Just watch the show, it's so lively!
Why get yourself into trouble?
What's more, there are those two good-looking guys around too.
They don't care, so why should I?
I don't have that much money.
This is what most people think.
laugh!
Just as the man's hand was about to strike.
His whole body began to rapidly wither and shrivel!
Puffs of white smoke dissipated into the air!
Cheeks! Eye sockets! Rapidly sunken!
He was completely lifeless! It was as if all the blood and energy in his body had been devoured!
In less than three breaths! He became a dried-up corpse!
He was utterly dead! Not a breath left!
