Chapter 781: Do not ask for sympathy ——2
" You…." Shen Hanxing truly did not expect that in exchange for her three sentences, Shen Li will shoot her down with a hundred of his own, she looked at Shen Li who stared back at her calmly and rolled her eyes multiple times before she calmed down and looked at Shen Li again.
The more she looked at him the more her eyebrows knitted as she looked at his simple wooden hairpin which was tied in his hair along with the clean cotton shirt that he was wearing with matching pants. Though he looked calm and serene, one could see that what he was wearing was nothing but humble, Shen Hanxing had seen Chen Mi and Ye Liu.
Even though the two of them were not dressed lavishly, they still had gold and silver hairpins on their head, but Shen Li who was the official husband of Yu Dong…he only had a single wooden hairpin? What kind of bullshit was this?
" Are you out of your mind, so what if you do not have a child? How hard it is for you to get a child…just do what the others do and you will get pregnant as well," Shen Hanxing retorted furiously but even though she said that she knew that with how harsh and perverted Yu Dong was, there was no way this brother of her would be able to satisfy her urges.
" Achoo!" Yu Dong who was cooped in the Mu family house rubbed her nose and looked around while sniffing. " Who is talking bad behind my back?"
Back to where Shen Li was standing, Shen Hanxing rubbed her head and looked at her brother who was silent despite getting scolded, she wished she could slap Shen Li awake as she did in the past, as long as she thrashed him a little, he would curl up in a ball and agree to whatever she said to him but—-
She turned her head to look at the two women who were guarding the entrance and looked away in a hurry even though the two had not moved an inch, she knew that they were looking at her if she dared to make a move on Shen Li, then the villagers of this village will surely save Shen Li who was the official husband of Yu Dong who owned the village.
" All right, I am not here to make things troublesome for you… I just need a few hundred taels, your wife is so rich …surely this is a small sum for her, right?" Shen Hanxing only needed a total of ten taels but now that she was here she wanted to go big or go home. With ten silver taels she will only be able to repay the debt of her mother but other than that they needed a house and good food as well, it had been more than a month since she last ate meat.
Surely, there was nothing wrong with her asking a hundred or so taels, it was not like Shen Li could not afford it right?
Shen Li was so angry upon hearing Shen Hanxing's words that he laughed, he just told her that he was not favoured by Yu Dong and even if Shen Hanxing thought that he was lying it should have at least put a slight hesitation in her mind.
But this sister of his was so selfish that she only cared about herself, for a husband who was not favoured even ten taels was a big thing —— and she was actually asking him to summon a hundred taels out of thin air like this sum was nothing.
From where did she get this confidence from?
" Hundred taels? I am afraid that I cannot even give you a single tael," Shen Li refused outright though he was a bit guilty towards his father and Father Xi, he had to harden his heart such as to avoid trouble in the future. " Like I said to you, I am a husband who is not favoured, what makes you think that I will have a saving of hundred taels? I hardly get enough to eat in the house with a barren womb. Where am I supposed to get so much money?"
With that, he turned to leave but how could Shen Hanxing let Shen Li leave, her second brother who was the husband of an official had already refused to help her if Shen Li does not help her then she will be sold off to that bar and who knows how many years she had to work in that place before she could get her freedom back?
" Wait, I know that you are angry but listen to me —- even if you cannot give me a hundred taels now… at least ten taels, give me ten taels." Shen Hanxing pulled her most pitiful expression on her face as she looked at Shen Li and then said in a soft voice, " Li'er, you know how mother is… she got drunk and ended up getting into debt again if we do not give ten taels to the owner of the bar, she will definitely take our younger siblings away, you do not wish to see them suffer as you did right?"
Shen Li frowned when she heard Shen Hanxing's words which caused the latter to believe that she had gotten through Shen Li but then she heard Shen Li coldly snicker as he said, " So what if they are sold? Did someone sympathise with me when I was getting sent off to the old madam? Do not forget sister, you could have easily waived the debt off which was earned by mother by working in the courtyard of the old madam but you were afraid of hard work and wanted to laze around which was why you sent me to suffer."
His lips curled in a mocking smile as he reminded Shen Hanxing of that day. " I cried and begged you not to ruin me like that …just one night of pleasure for that old woman could have ruined my entire life because I would have lost my virginity mark and no woman would have married me, if not for my resistance I would have been ruined in your hands."
" But even after doing so much to me…you did not feel any guilt and sold me to Yu Dong…she might be rich now but I have not forgotten how she forced me on our first night even when I begged her not to touch me saying and pleading that I was not ready … do you know how much I was beaten that night? How much I bled until I started to flinch at the touch of a woman? You don't…so do not ask for sympathy from me when I was shown none."
