Chapter 1: Selling the Little Fool for a Thousand Yuan

“Here she is. Don’t look at how thin she is, she has wide hips and a full chest, she’ll definitely have no problem bearing sons. I’ll only take a thousand yuan in dowry from you, it’s a bargain for your grandson.”

“Isn’t a thousand too much? Her mind…”

“Oh, Lin Laogui, what’s the situation with your grandson, you still dare to talk to me like that? He’s already killed three wives, and he still has two burdens, you still dare to be picky about my daughter’s intelligence?

Hmph, go ask around, who in this village would be willing to marry their daughter into your family? Don’t even mention a thousand, even if you gave three thousand, they wouldn’t want to.”

Lin Xinghua retorted with a black face, “What do you mean killed three wives? The first one ran away with a man, she didn’t die.”

“Anyway, her parents couldn’t find her, so they canceled her registration, canceling registration is the same as dying.”

“The second one was diagnosed with cancer before the engagement, she died before entering the house, it wasn’t my Lin An who killed her.”

“Then why did she die after getting engaged to your grandson when she had cancer for years and didn’t die? You still say it wasn’t your grandson who killed her?”

Lin Xinghua: “…”

“The third one was in a car accident before the wedding, it was an accident.”

“Oh, there were so many people in the car, why did she die in the accident? How could it be such a coincidence? Don’t you believe it, it was your Xie Lin’an who killed her.”

Lin Xinghua was speechless, his face flushed with anger.

Sun Qing smiled triumphantly, pushed Ye Xiaozhen forward, and said, “Whether you agree or not, you’re just talking nonsense. If you don’t agree, I’ll take her to Li Mazzi’s house in the next village.

Li Mazzi has been a bachelor for half his life, he’s almost gone crazy wanting a wife, he came to me a few days ago with a thousand yuan in dowry.

I thought, why let the water flow outside the field, I’ll satisfy the bachelors in our village first, so I didn’t agree to him.”

Lin Xinghua looked at Ye Xiaozhen’s dull eyes, her thin and small appearance moved his heart.

Would this child have a way to survive if she fell into Li Mazzi’s hands?

He sighed and agreed.

“Okay, I’ll go to the bank to get the money tomorrow, what about this child…?”

Sun Qing immediately beamed with joy, “Of course, it’s one hand for the money and one hand for the person, can you get the money by ten o’clock tomorrow?”

Lin Xinghua nodded, “Around that time.”

“Okay, I’ll deliver the person to your house at ten o’clock tomorrow morning, that’s settled then.”

After saying that, Sun Qing pulled Ye Xiaozhen away.

Ye Xiaozhen’s father and her younger siblings were all waiting at the door, and when they saw them coming back, they all surrounded them.

“Qingqing, did they agree?”

Sun Qing smiled, “They agreed, I’ll go get the money tomorrow, tomorrow morning at ten o’clock, one hand for the money and one hand for the person, a thousand yuan, not a penny less.”

The whole family cheered.

“That’s great, Mom, I have the money to get married.” Ye Xiaoqiang said.

Ye Xiaochun also happily said, “I have the money for my dowry too.”

Ye Xiaoqiang’s face fell, he glared at her.

The whole family was happy, no one cared about Ye Xiaozhen’s life or death.

Ye Xiaoqiang and Ye Xiaochun even threatened her, laughing in front of her and saying that she would be killed and wouldn’t live long.

Ye Xiaoqiang even took out two yuan and five cents of pocket money to bet with Ye Xiaochun, one bet that she wouldn’t live for three days, the other bet that she could live for five days.

Ye Xiaozhen was a fool, but she wasn’t completely unaware.

Hearing their words, she was so scared that she cried.

She didn’t want to die.

So she ran away while the whole family was asleep.

It rained lightly at night, the road was slippery, and she slipped into the pond at the entrance of the village.

…

Ye Zhen, a food blogger, has been having the same dream lately.

She dreamed that her high-tech kitchen, which cost eight million yuan to build, was transported to a backward rural town.

She, dressed in a stylish manner, was wearing a floral cloth dress from the 1980s, her face covered in dirt, selling steamed buns in that small town.

She was selling them incredibly cheap, two yuan for a large meat bun.

After dreaming this for three consecutive days, she felt something was wrong and spent 29.9 yuan on a master to interpret her dream online.

The master told her to follow the instructions in her dream, find a remote and impoverished place and sell large meat buns for two yuan each, as a way of giving away wealth.

After thinking it over, Ye Zhen understood.

She live-streamed herself making all sorts of delicacies every day, and her dream reminded her that there were still many people in the world who couldn’t afford a meat bun.

It was time to do charity.

Before ending her live stream today, Ye Zhen told her fans that she would be live-streaming selling steamed buns.

She needed time to prepare enough ingredients, so she would be off-air for a few days.

After ending the live stream, she asked her assistant to find a suitable town for charity and started stocking up on ingredients for making steamed buns, buying various equipment for steaming buns to enrich her three-hundred-square-meter kitchen.

To ensure that everyone could buy a two-yuan meat bun, she bought five thousand kilograms of flour alone.

By the time all the equipment and ingredients were ready, it was already half a month later.

Her assistant sent her the address for the charity work, and she decided to go there to take a look first.

However, she encountered rain on the way, the mountain road was difficult to navigate, and the car skidded and crashed, sending her and the car tumbling down the cliff.

When she regained consciousness, she smelled a pungent odor of disinfectant.

She couldn’t move, her eyes couldn’t open, and she could vaguely hear noisy sounds outside.

It sounded like a hospital?

Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she must have been saved.

Outside the ward, the doctor said to the people outside, “Family members of the patient, please pay the hospital fees.”

Last night, Ye Xiaozhen fell into the water and was heard by a neighbor who was getting up in the middle of the night.

A loud shout woke up the villagers, and they pulled her out of the pond and rushed her to the hospital.

Ye Zhengguo and Sun Qing’s faces were ashen, thinking that she was still unconscious, and she hadn’t woken up until dawn, they didn’t know if she would survive.

“How much do we need to pay?”

The doctor said, “The patient’s condition is quite serious, she is still in critical condition. Please deposit five hundred yuan first, and we’ll talk about the rest later.”

The two gasped when they heard this.

Sun Qing pulled Ye Zhengguo aside, “The doctor said it’s serious, maybe her brain is filled with water. We don’t know if she can be saved, we can’t pay this money. If she dies, it will be a waste of money.”

“What should we do? We already agreed with Lin Xinghua for a thousand yuan, if she dies, we’ll lose the thousand yuan.”

Sun Qing’s mind raced, and she had an idea.

“Let Lin Laogui pay, we won’t lose any money whether she survives or not.”

“That’s a good idea, but he’s not stupid, he might not be willing.”

“Hmph, just watch, I’ll handle it.”

She went to Lin Xinghua and smiled, “Brother-in-law, we already agreed on the marriage of our children yesterday, right? So about the money…”

Lin Xinghua’s face darkened, “We don’t know if she’s going to live or die, you still dare to mention money to me? If she dies, do we have to pay for a coffin?”

Sun Qing: “…”

“Can you blame me? She’s lying here because your grandson cursed her, he cursed my daughter to death, Xie Lin’an should pay with his life.”

“Hmph, go report it to the police, if the police make my Lin’an pay with his life, we’ll pay.”

Is that even possible?

Nowadays, everyone is fighting against feudal superstition, reporting it won’t work, you’ll just get lectured.
