Chapter 2: Increase The Price
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The flamboyant woman was not the only one who was shocked at her words. Even the three children in the corner widened their eyes in astonishment.
Qiu Xingyu, born third, tugged on her elder brother’s sleeve and whispered.
“Brother, Mommy doesn’t seem to want to sell us anymore.”
“…”
The firstborn Qiu Xingyuan pursed his lips coldly. “Who knows what evil idea she has up her sleeve. All these years, have we not trusted her enough? She disappointed us every single time.”
Qiu Xingqiao, who was born second, clenched his fists. “How many times have I told you not to call her mommy? That bad woman is not our mommy at all!”
Qiu Xingyu shrank back and stopped talking.
Qiu Tong:”…”
Did these brats think she was deaf?
After living in post-apocalyptic times for so many years, her senses were very sharp. Even though they were whispering, she could hear them clearly.
However, now was not the time to argue with them.
Qiu Tong waved at the three children. “Let’s go home.”
The three children stiffened.
Home?
Did they still have a home?
The flamboyant woman finally returned to her senses. “Qiu Tong, are you kidding me? Do you think you can refuse to sell them just like that?! Let me tell you, you have to sell them to me today even if you’re unwilling!”
Qiu Tong looked at the other party’s ferocious expression, her fat quivering, and she was very calm.
If it had been the original Qiu Tong, she might have been afraid, but this Qiu Tong was not afraid at all.
“Sure.”
Qiu Tong nodded. “Increase the price. Each child will cost 100 million.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xingyu’s bright eyes immediately dimmed.
She thought that Mommy had changed.
But she just wanted to raise the price…
However, Mommy was destined to be disappointed. They had not had a full meal since the day they were born, so how could they fetch a high price of 100 million?
Fat Auntie would never agree.
As expected, the flamboyant woman jumped when she heard that. “Are you crazy? Do you think you gave birth to golden geese? You’re asking for a sky-high price! You’re indeed the daughter of a financial fraud. You deserve to give birth to three illegitimate children who don’t even know their fathers… Ah!”
Smack!
The woman’s scolding was interrupted by the clear sound of a slap.
Qiu Tong retracted her hand and rotated her wrist. “Didn’t anyone teach you not to make personal attacks when scolding others?”
“Ah!”
The flamboyant woman shrieked in rage. “How dare you hit me! Slut, how dare you hit me!”
She charged towards Qiu Tong.
Her body was huge and she shot over like a missile. One would definitely die or be crippled by the impact.
Qiu Xingyu covered her eyes in fear.
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
The little girl peaked through a gap between her fingers and was stunned!
Her mother, who was lazy and claimed that she did not have the strength to work, fluidly flipped the fat woman over her shoulder and threw her onto the ground!
She then picked up a wooden table and was about to throw it at the other party!
“Ah! Help!”
The woman’s pupils constricted. Her earlier arrogance had disappeared and was replaced with deep fear. “Fine, don’t sell if you don’t want to! I was wrong, I’m sorry! Please just go… just go…”
She watched as the table came nearer and nearer, a wind blowing against her face. She nearly peed her pants from fright.
The table came to a stop about 10 centimeters away from her.
Qiu Tong loosened her grip and flung the table to the ground. She licked her lips and revealed a charming and bloodthirsty smile.
“Ah, I almost forgot. Humans are very fragile. We can’t treat you like zombies.”
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. She collapsed to the ground, unable to say a word.
Qiu Tong turned around and waved at the three children. “Aren’t you coming?”
With that, she walked out of the door.
It was already dusk outside. The rays of the setting sun gently enveloped the entire city, casting a shadow over the dilapidated buildings of the slums.
Qiu Tong took a deep breath. This world was really good.
So what if it was a slum?
At least, there was no endless fighting, famine or war.
It was just that she was short of money for the time being. She had the ability. As long as she worked hard, she would be able to earn money.
Qiu Tong decided to return to her accomodations.
But… where was her home?
