Chapter 833: Zhao Yue is Sold

ked the person to leave.Ripples' eyes flashed, then she sighed,"Master Wan Tian, you're being too unkind! I practically drove myself to the brink just to get here on time. At least let me rest for a n...After hearing this, Lianyi also had to admire Wen Jia's brother-in-law. He was simply foolish to the extreme.

"Cuiflower, you go and fetch the horse. Accompany them to chase after those people. Be sure to catch up to them. Take some silver with you. If they are reasonable, redeem the woman back. If they are stubborn, take my letter and report them to the county for selling a well-married woman."

Yes, Miss!

The lotus immediately turned and left the main hall.

Ripples said to An He:

"Have the kitchen bring over the ginger soup that's been simmered, and give each person a bowl to warm themselves up."

Yes, Miss!

A series of commands from Lian'i eased the tension in the hearts of the five people from Wenjia Village. Especially Wen Zhaoming, who was about to kneel down, was stopped by Lian'i and helped up.

"Don't rush to kneel before me, wait until your sister is saved and then we'll talk."

The ripples lifted the person up and then let go, very measured.

After steadying himself, Wen Zhaoming immediately nodded.

"Miss Su's kindness, Wen Zhaoming remembered it well, and he would definitely repay her."

An He came with ginger soup at this time, and after the five people finished drinking it, they were taken away by Cuihua. The rain had stopped, and they didn't dare to delay any longer.

Only after everyone else left did An He complain:

"The Wen brothers are so unlucky, how could they have such relatives."

"Bad luck! Every family has one or two troublesome relatives, my aunt is just the same."

Ripple said nonchalantly.

"Still, Miss Independent is the one in charge and can hold her own, otherwise she would have been outmaneuvered."

An He whispered.

"One is because I am an adult, with my own opinions. The other is that I'm already a young man, and they wouldn't dare to offend me too badly."

But Mingge was different. His parents were both gone, and the only woman who could support the family was still young. As a younger brother, he had to be more passive.

Ripple analysis said.

"Hope they can bring people back!"

An He prayed.

The matter still has to start with Wen San Di leaving Wen Zhao Ming's home.

After being rejected by his siblings, he felt a fire burning in his heart, so he set his sights on Yueyue. As long as this girl disappeared, Mingge wouldn't be able to establish himself as the male head of the household. At that time, he could talk to his eldest sister and marry her off far away. They would still get a share of the dowry silver.

Having made up his mind, the resolute Wen Santdi went to find Zhou Langjun in the neighboring village. This man outwardly appeared to be a matchmaker, but behind closed doors, he had connections with local brokers and occasionally took in young men of good looks.

This time, he took the initiative to approach Zhou Langjun, saying that he wanted to sell his niece. Zhou Langjun was somewhat surprised and, after finding out the situation, shook his head and refused.

Zhou Langjun wasn't stupid. He had also heard about Wen Erniang's situation and thought that Wen Langjun was truly vicious, not even sparing his own niece.

Although he's in this business, it was all consensual when you signed the selling contract. Young Master Wen clearly sold it underhandedly. If the villagers found out, not only would he ruin his own reputation, but he could also get into trouble.

Wen Sandidi talked for a long time, but the other party didn't agree. He could only give up. Just as he was leaving, he saw a cunning woman from the county dental clinic come to find Zhou Langjun. He felt an opportunity had come, so he waited outside. When the other party left Zhoujia Village, he stopped them.

Chang Yapo looked at the man smiling obsequiously before her, frowning and asking:

What's up

I want to sell people.

"Are you still a woman" Let me know if you have any other translations you'd like me to do!

"The girl is seven years old this year."

"With times being so good, why are you selling women"

Zhou Yapo asked.

"It's not that our family is poor, it's just that my eldest daughter is getting married, and I can't afford to support the woman from her husband's family anymore. This is a way out for her."

"Isn't she your daughter"

Zhou Yapo raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No, it's my younger sister's child. My sister-in-law was injured when she gave birth to this child and passed away early, so my younger sister doesn't like him very much. I feel sorry for her because she's a girl, so I give her some food."

Before the autumn harvest, my second sister was gored to death by a wild boar. Now no one wants to take care of her anymore. They all think she's unlucky and brings bad luck to her family. I'm afraid too, you see! That's why I thought about sending her away as far as possible.

Wen Santong said with a helpless expression, rambling nonsense.

"Then I want to see the child. I don't want to buy a sickly one."

Zhou Ya's eyes rolled and she said.

"Okay, wait a few days after the harvest is finished, I'll take you to see."

Wen Santong immediately agreed, and the two set a time and place before parting ways.

After the autumn harvest was complete, Wen Zhaoming went up the mountain. Wen's third brother then made an appointment with Zhou Yapo to see Wen Zhaoyue. Of course, his excuse was to find a wife for Zhaoming.

Wen Zhaoyue was still very clever. Remembering her older brother's instructions, she stayed at the neighbor's Uncle Wu's house and didn't go anywhere else. Even when speaking, she kept a distance behind the fence.

When Zhou Yapo saw Wen Zhaoyue, she became interested. The other party's age and appearance matched the requirements, and coincidentally, someone from Shanjun had spread the word that they were looking for a girl like this to raise from a young age, and the price offered was not low. So she started discussing the price with Wen's third brother.

Finally, the deal was struck at a price of six taels of silver. Zhou Yapo instructed Wen Sandidi to bring the person to her as soon as possible.

Wen Santong had made an appointment, then while Uncle Wenwu was preparing dinner, he directly covered Yueyue's mouth with a handkerchief, rendering her unconscious before putting her in a bag and carrying her away.

He thought he was unseen, but the village children playing in the fields saw him. They didn't pay attention at the time, after all, they hadn't seen Yueyue.

Not until Master Wen Wu discovered Yue Yue was missing and frantically searched for her did a few children provide this clue, at the time when those who had entered the mountains were just emerging from them.

Wen Wu Bo had already found the village head and when he saw Wen Zhao Ming, he guiltily told the other party that he hadn't watched over Yue Yue properly and Yue Yue was missing.

Wen Zhaoming heard this, his mind went blank at the time, and after a while he slowly recovered and asked:

Five Elders, when did Yueyue disappear

"It was probably in the afternoon. I was in the kitchen preparing dinner, guessing you would be back today, so I made a bit extra. At that time, Yueyue was playing with mud in the yard."

When I had almost finished preparing dinner, I called Yueyue to eat first, but no one responded. I thought she had been called out to play by the children, but I couldn't find her nearby. So I went to tell the village head.

Wen Wu Bo wiped his tears as he spoke.

Have you looked everywhere in the village

Wen Jiahong also frowned and asked.

The village head has already arranged for people to look for it. I'll let you know as soon as we find out anything.

"Little Ming, don't worry first. Go see my mother and tell her what happened. Maybe she's already found someone."

Wen Zhaoming had no hope. The village was so small that if the person were still there, they would have been found by now. Since there was no news, it meant they hadn't been found.

But he still forced himself to go see the village head, even if he wasn't in the village, at least it gave him a direction to look.

The village head had learned from Ya Mei that Wen San Di had once appeared at Fifth Uncle's doorstep, carrying a bag. He immediately sent people to look for Wen San Di, and they found him at Wen Da Niang's house. At that time, the two were discussing marrying Ming Ge Er off.

When brought before the village head, he still refused to admit. With red-rimmed eyes, Wen Zhaoming kicked him over and stabbed directly into Wen Sandidi's calf with a fierce shout:

"You're not human, you're a beast. My sister is gone, so you'll accompany her in death."e their victim based on certain characteristics: someone who is single, has no family, few friends, and an unstable job—someone who would likely go missing without anyone reporting it.This makes our i...
