Chapter 248: Xin Ye Teaches His Brother-in-Law (3)
As soon as the question was asked, Hua Muyu was stunned, and then fell into thought. Upon hearing this, the others also fell into thought. Yan Yiyi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth a few more times.
Xin Ye was secretly proud in his heart: Hehe, those dramas were not watched in vain, he can now be called a "bitch identifying expert", he doesn't want his wife to suffer because of his silly brother, some things must be taught well, especially the matter of "bitch identifying" - it is crucial!
Compared to the innocent boys, the aunties and grandmas behind them immediately understood what was going on. When they looked at the girl, their eyes showed disgust and disdain without any concealment, and they even whispered and talked about it with the people around them.
The boys who were thinking hard heard the discussion behind them and got a hint. They were surprised and looked at the girl again with an expression of disbelief, but their minds had unconsciously followed the hint of the aunt and the auntie to observe.
The exposed hands of the "father" who had become a corpse were covered with a thick layer of calluses, while the girl who sold her body had smooth and slender fingers, just like any other girl in the boudoir. Looking closely at her face, her black hair was shiny and smooth, her skin was fair with a hint of pink, and her red lips were bright and lustrous.
Just as the aunties and uncles said, if the girl was born in a poor family and could not afford a penny to bury her father, she could not have been raised to be so beautiful and charming.
If it was a wealthy family that had fallen on hard times, the hands of the "father" of the corpse were obviously those of a man who had been used to doing hard labor since childhood and had never had any rest. This was somewhat different from starting from scratch.
In a nutshell: there is something wrong with this father-daughter combination. No matter what their purpose is, it is obvious that the woman is not as weak and helpless as she appears.
Fortunately, they had the guidance of this "brother-in-law", otherwise they would have become scapegoats. They are rich and kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean they are stupid. That woman obviously had bad intentions.
Everyone else understood, and Hua Muyu naturally understood it too. The young masters were reluctant to say what Hua Muyu, a grown man, had no scruples: "Brother-in-law, is that woman a liar? Is she trying to seduce men?"
Xin Ye did not respond directly to his words: "No matter what her purpose is, if you go up to her and give her silver, what do you think she will do?"
"Of course she'll rely on us, but we're not the only ones she can rely on. The worst that can happen is that we'll have someone throw her out."
"What if she threatens to commit suicide in public? She wants to work like a slave in the name of repaying a favor, but you reject her and explain that she wants to commit suicide by banging her head against the wall to show her true feelings? Of course, she won't do her best to bang her head against the wall."
Hua Muyu's pupils trembled, and it was obvious that his three views were crumbling.
The two young masters who had just spoken also fell into deep thought. The young master in white said, "She will take advantage of the kindness of the people and use public opinion to force us to take her away. Then she will achieve her first goal."
The blue-clothed gentleman asked, "Are there any other purposes?"
"As this young master said, if she really wanted to sell herself as a slave, she could work in any brokerage with her conditions. But she didn't sell herself to earn money to bury her father, but to climb up the social ladder.
Under normal circumstances, slaves could not become maids for their masters without several years of training and promotion.
Even if she is lucky enough to become a maid favored by her master, her final destination is just a small steward in the mansion. She... oh, obviously wants to be the mistress. "
An old lady listened to them chattering for so long without getting to the point, and she couldn't help but interrupted, "She just wants to climb into the rich man's bed and ascend to heaven in one step.
Bah! Don't you see what kind of person she is? Any man who is unlucky enough to get involved with her will surely suffer unrest in his family."
"Look, a girl is passing by." The young man in blue pointed to the front. Everyone stopped discussing and looked over there at the same time.
A woman in red riding uniform came up to her and asked directly: "How much silver do you plan to sell it for?"
The girl who was selling her body saw a little girl who had just come of age coming to ask questions. She quickly glanced at the people the girl brought with her. The girl was followed by two maids. Not far away, there were several young men leading horses, who seemed to be waiting for the little girl in front of her. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He lowered his eyes and said, "50 taels. My father has worked hard all his life and raised me, but I can't show any filial piety to him. Now I hope to bury him with great ceremony and show my filial piety to him as a last resort."
"50 taels? That's a lot. Why do you think you are worth 50 taels?"
Yan Yiyi looked at the girl in red with interest. It seemed that this girl was not a saint.
The prostitute did not expect that the red-dressed girl would ask her this question. She immediately straightened her back and put on an unyielding pride: "I have been able to read and write since I was young, and I can play the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and I can do accounting and housework. I am worth more than 50 taels. I hope that the young lady will be kind enough to repay my filial piety. I will work like a cow and a horse to repay your kindness in the future."
The red-dressed girl was not surprised. She curled her lips and smiled, "The two maids behind me could read and calculate when they bought it at the pawnshop. They only needed 30 taels. So, young lady, do you have no idea of your own positioning, no, pricing?"
Hearing this, she suddenly looked up at the woman in red. Was this girl deliberately trying to ruin her show?!
"30 taels is enough to give your father a grand funeral. Don't you want to? For a mere 20 taels, you let your father lie in the ice and snow, unable to rest in peace?"
As soon as the girl in red said this, the people watching over there began to persuade her.
Some people said that ten taels was enough to buy a good coffin for her father to be buried.
Some people say that the weather is cold, so we should bury the person quickly, otherwise it would be unfilial.
Someone said that it was hard to find someone who offered 30 taels. She had been kneeling there for more than half an hour, and several people could only offer 10 taels. 30 taels was not a small amount.
The woman lowered her head, and no one could see her expression at the moment, but those who knew what she was up to knew that her expression would definitely not look good.
Xin Ye couldn't help whispering to Yan Yiyi: "Wife, do you think that woman will accept 30 taels of silver for selling herself?"
"Tsk!" Yan Yiyi sneered, "She has already handed over the initiative. In the end, she will definitely become the fish on the chopping board of the girl in red. She thinks that this is a small county town and no one can see through her tricks. She thinks that she is the only one who is smart and everyone else is a fool.
Haha, that girl in red will definitely not let her go easily."
Yan Yiyi noticed from the beginning that the woman in red had a fierce look in her eyes when she found out that someone was selling himself to bury his father. After careful observation, she thought... she must be a little girl with a story.
Hua Muyu heard his sister and brother-in-law whispering in each other's ears. He could understand what they said, but he didn't quite understand why they did this, especially the girl in red. She didn't seem to be helping with good intentions, but at the same time she didn't seem to be a bad person. It was really strange.
