Chapter 38: The other courtyard purchases a maid and gives ten taels of silver

"stop!"

Old Mrs. Li walked out of the house with a dark face and scolded her sternly: "My old lady is not dead yet. It's not shameful to make such a fuss."

"Mother-in-law, she hit me."

The villain Liu Cuihua complained first.

"Did I hit you?"

Wu Juan shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be innocent: "Who saw it?"

"No."

Ye Xiuyan, the three siblings shook their heads in unison.

"You see, the children can bear witness."

Wu Juan crossed his arms across his chest and mocked coldly: "It was obviously you who fell yourself, yet you still want to rely on others."

"Second daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Li scolded sternly: "You must not be unreasonable. Cuihua is right. Since you have separated, you have no right to interfere in the affairs of Lao Ye's family."

"mother."

Ye Jian's eyes showed dissatisfaction: "We don't want to care, we just listen to the child crying pitifully, come here and ask what's going on?"

"Mingjie is going to the state capital to take an exam and needs fifteen taels of silver for travel expenses."

Mrs. Li said confidently: "My family is poor and can't raise money. It just so happened that your brother brought back the news that a maid from another house was purchased and a death deed was given to her for ten taels of silver. How could she miss such a good opportunity?"

"Other courtyard?"

Wu Juan frowned: "What other courtyard?"

Ye Jian leaned forward and explained in a low voice: "This is the place where my eldest brother and I went to help this time. It was said that the nobles of Kyoto City built a villa in the countryside. Before leaving, I did hear that they wanted to purchase a group of maids.

, I thought our family would never sell our daughter, so I didn’t tell you about it."

"A nobleman from Kyoto City?"

Wu Juan's heart tightened: "Who is he, do you know?"

"I don't know the specific identity."

Ye Jian glanced at his wife, slightly annoyed: "The supervisor is very tight-lipped and refuses to reveal any information."

"Why do you want to buy a little maid?"

Wu Juan glanced at the fourteen-year-old Da Ya, looking puzzled.

"That's what the steward said."

Ye Jian told the truth: "When wealthy families buy maids, they always want them to be young, disciplined from an early age, obedient and know the rules. The older ones have a lot of right and wrong, and they have evil thoughts and lead the young master to evil."

*

Wu Juan felt sad in her heart: "Poor Erya is only ten years old, only a few months older than Xiuyan. She met her evil-hearted parents and her whole life was ruined."

"Bah, don't pretend to be so noble and talk about girl Yan."

While the couple was talking, Liu Cuihua suddenly spat and yelled maliciously: "You two look so shabby, how can you give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Yan Yatou? I don't know where she picked it up from?"

"What did you say?"

When Ye Jian and his wife heard this, they became angry, and Wu Juan kicked her away.

"Bang."

Liu Cuihua fell headfirst to the ground, her forehead was swollen, and her skin was broken and bleeding.

"Ouch, ouch."

She screamed in pain, but still didn't shut up, her bloodshot eyes flashed with the joy of revenge: "It's useless for you to hit me. Everyone in the village says so. If you don't believe me, go out and ask. No one believes that Yan Yatou is the second brother's daughter.

.”

"Sister-in-law."

Ye Jian clenched his fists tightly, resisting the urge to hit someone, and shouted sternly: "Say it again, don't blame me for not caring about the brotherhood with my eldest brother."

"It's useless for you to beat me to death."

Liu Cuihua's head was broken and bleeding, and she had already fallen into madness: "The facts cannot be changed. The older Yan girl gets, the less she looks like you."

"You yourself understand what happened back then. There was no matchmaker, no hiring, and a woman was brought back from outside with a child. Even if she was bitten to death and said to be your daughter, no one would believe her."

Thank you little fairy for your generous reward.
