Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That’s not much, right?” Grandpa Du continued, “After all, this family raised Hongguo. Hongguo is also Shanqiangs child. I’ll sell her to you. Whether you want her to sever her kinship contract or sell her to us, it’s up to you. We’ll cooperate. In short, she will have nothing to do with our family in the future. I’ll also let Shanqiang divorce you. You won’t have anything to do with this family either. It’ll only be four to five hundred coins in total to achieve all of that. If you can take out this money now, we can go to the village chief’s house and set up a divorce contract with Hongguo. Don’t you want to leave this house as soon as possible?”
Du Hongguo was still young after all. When she heard that it was only four or five hundred coins, she wanted to immediately agree. If everything went smoothly, she would be able to pay it back in a year working in the shop. She immediately forgot what she had said yesterday and said happily, “Mother, let’s go and borrow money from the others!”
Xue Daxi only patted her hand but did not say anything.
Seeing this, Grandpa Du’s heart immediately became anxious. He hurriedly said, “We really don’t want much. Hongguo is almost sixteen years old, and we’ve raised her for all those years. Not only will we give her to you, but we’ll also cut off all ties with her.’
It was as if he was afraid that Xue Daxi would think that the money was too much and was unwilling to even give four or five hundred coins.
Xue Daxi did not think that the money was too much. In fact, she was going to accept this proposal. She did not want to go through any more trouble. If she did not bring Hongguo back to Xue Da t s house soon, they would definitely start to worry. She knew that if she asked for money now, they would be willing to give it to her.
If they saw that she went to borrow money, they would definitely think that borrowing money was too easy. They would definitely find a way to ask for more. Then, they would cause more trouble again.
Thinking of this, Xue Daxi said, “What if we go and borrow the money and you change your mind? I’m not st*pid.”
When Grandpa Du heard this, she knew that Daxi was considering the proposal. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said, “1 won’t change my mind, I promise.”
“If you want me to believe you, we’ll go to the village chief’s house now and sign the contract for Hongguo,” Xue Daxi said.
She wanted Hongguo to forever remember that it was Grandpa Du and Grandma Du who had sold her off.
In the future, if Du Shanqiang and the others saw that Hongguo was doing well and wanted to cling to her, Hongguo would remember her past pain and turn the other way.
However, Grandma Du immediately exploded. “You haven’t even given us the money, and you want us to set up those? You clearly think we’re st*pid!”
“When the village chief sets it up, you can also set up a written contract that says I owe your family four to five hundred coins. I will put my fingerprint on it. “After a pause, she said, “You said just now that Hongguo and I should leave this house as soon as possible. Doesn’t that mean you want nothing to do with us as soon as possible? If so, once you write the contract, I will definitely pay you the money 1 owe you immediately. You have the contract, so what are you afraid of? Even if I refuse to give it to you, you can report it to the authorities and have me beaten. I will have to find a way to return the money to you no matter what. Otherwise, the authorities won’t let me off.”
Grandpa Du only wanted to live in peace as soon as possible. He was also afraid that Xue Daxi would regret it and not borrow money from her family, causing more trouble. He did not think much about why Xue Daxi was so anxious to go to the village chief’s house now. It was already dark. Grandpa Du nodded. “That’s fine too. I can’t deny that. Then let’s go to the village chief’s house now to settle the matter..
