Chapter 482: The Songstress Sold by Her Own Father (6)
After hearing this, Xie Hao was skeptical, "Really? Are you willing to do that?"
Qu Dashan immediately replied, "What's there to be reluctant about? They are just two bitches. I really like your mother, and your mother is the only one in my heart now."
"Okay, I'll trust you this time!" Jie Hao let him go, "Go away, and come back to see my mother when you're done."
Not far away, Xie Jiaojiao came back in a daze, muttering, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?" Qu Dashan and Jie Hao asked hurriedly.
Unfortunately, Xie Jiaojiao seemed deaf and locked herself in her room.
Qu Dashan sighed and limped towards the Qu family’s thatched cottage.
At this moment, Su Li was picking wild vegetables nearby and paying attention to Qu Dashan's every move.
Qu Dashan found that no matter what he did, he could not step into the thatched hut.
"What's going on? Did I encounter a ghost wall?" Qu Dashan looked depressed.
It was almost noon and he was suddenly starving after having only drunk a little wine.
"Forget it, I'll go to town to eat something and ask for a talisman!" He glared at the thatched cottage fiercely, "I'll deal with you this afternoon!"
Su Li watched him leave.
Afternoon, right?
I'm waiting.
Su Li, who had picked a basket full of wild vegetables, returned to A'ran and lifted the barrier. "Mom, I not only picked wild vegetables today, but also found a big, fat rabbit."
She opened the basket and lifted the rabbit hidden underneath by its ears.
She caught this rabbit from the companion space, and it was not intelligent.
Rabbits can give birth to at least seven or eight litters a year. Now most of the creatures in her companion space are rabbits.
For the sake of the ecological balance of her companion space, Su Li decided to get rid of some of them.
After all, foxes are born to love eating rabbits.
"Wow, our Yan'er is so amazing." A'ran quickly took it over, "You pick up the wild vegetables, and I will take care of this rabbit."
"Okay!" Su Li nodded briskly.
That afternoon, the sun set.
Qu Dashan, along with the matchmaker and several of her men, walked along the winding mountain path.
Why choose the afternoon when it's dark? Mainly because we're afraid of being seen.
Selling one's wife and daughter is not a glorious thing. Qu Dashan prides himself on being a chivalrous hero, and he will definitely not let this matter become known to everyone.
At their pace, it was almost dark when they reached the mountain village where the Xie and Qu families lived.
As for A'ran, Su Li had already made her fall asleep, and then carefully placed her on the grass behind the house and set up a barrier.
Now lying on the bed in the room are Mrs. Jie and Jie Jiaojiao!
Su Li used a trick to make others think that they were the original body and her mother A'ran.
As for the Xie family, Su Li has already got two substitute spirit beasts to temporarily replace the mother and daughter.
The kerosene lamp was lit, illuminating the room with a dim orange light.
The simple wooden board that had just been installed in the afternoon was kicked open again by Qu Dashan.
He pointed at the mother and daughter on the bed and said to the matchmaker, "They are the ones. The older one was once a famous singer in Jiangnan, and the younger one has grown up to be as beautiful as a flower! A total of one hundred taels, you can take it away!"
At this moment, the mother and daughter of the Xie family were fed some medicine by Su Li, but they did not wake up.
The matchmaker stepped forward and looked at them. "Well, they are indeed good-looking. But they are not worth a hundred taels at all!"
She sneered, "You can ask around. A wealthy family would only pay ten taels of silver to buy a maid. I'll also charge a little bit of labor fee, so a maid is only five taels at most. If you sell a big one like this to a wealthy family, they may not want it. They can only sell it to a brothel, and the most they can pay is a few taels of silver. So, I'll give you ten taels, that's the most!"
"Ten taels? How can that be enough!" Qu Dashan frowned.
He looked at "Qu Yanran" on the bed and said, "This little girl is so pretty, you can sell her to a brothel. Give me fifty taels for both mother and daughter! If I raise her for a few more years, I will be as beautiful as her mother."
"Oh, as a father, can you really bear to do this?" the matchmaker asked with a sidelong smile.
"What's there to be reluctant about? They're just two bitches." Qu Dashan sneered.
Qin Qing and Jiaojiao told him that when Hao'er passed the imperial examination, endless wealth and glory would be waiting for him.
Besides, the Xie brothers and sisters also have to change their surname to Qu, and their children will be his in the future.
Qu Dashan, who has been brainwashed by Jie Jiaojiao, now only wants to save money to marry Mrs. Jie and help Jie Hao pass the imperial examination.
"Okay, but I can't give you fifty taels. If you sell both to a brothel, the big one will be five taels at most, and the small one will be ten taels, so I'll give you fifteen taels in total." The matchmaker shook her head.
"Add another five taels." Qu Dashan gritted his teeth.
Zhang Fu will come again tomorrow, and they will definitely not let it go unless you give them the twenty taels.
"Add another two taels, that's the most. Otherwise I don't want it." The matchmaker saw that he was in urgent need of the silver and said again.
"Okay, give me the silver and you can take the person away!" Qu Dashan gritted his teeth and finally nodded.
He was still short of three taels of silver. At worst he could go to the mountains and get some wild game to make up for it.
Soon, the matchmaker gave him the silver and took the person away.
Qu Dashan hurriedly took the silver to Jie Hao's house and handed it to Jie Hao, "Hao'er, here are seventeen taels of silver, take it first. I'll go to the mountains to get some wild game, which will be enough for tomorrow. Can you let me see your mother?"
When Xie Hao saw the silver, his expression finally looked better.
He put away the silver and said, "Okay, then be careful. My mother and my sister are still resting, you can wait and see tomorrow!"
"Okay, then I'll go up the mountain right away!" Qu Dashan glanced at Mrs. Jie's room, nodded, and turned to go out.
Putting A'ran back on the bed, Su Li, who was following behind Qu Dashan, sneered.
What a scumbag indeed.
Now that Jie Jiaojiao's special ability has disappeared, he should be able to break free from her control.
But now he is still determined to marry Mrs. Jie, and he even ignores A'ran's kindness in taking care of the family and giving birth to a daughter for him, and directly sells her out. How despicable!
Well, let this scumbag disappear from this world forever!
After following Qu Dashan into the mountains, Su Li used his mental power to control the wolves and wild boars in the mountains to slowly approach him.
Qu Dashan, who was looking for prey, suddenly saw pairs of green eyes and heard the sound of the ground shaking.
Knowing that something terrible was going to happen, he fled in panic, but he was surrounded and had no way to hide!
"Ah!!!" His violent scream startled the birds resting in the forest.
When Qu Dashan was bitten until only half of his body was left, Su Li waved his hand and collected the wild boars and wolves into the companion space.
Afterwards, he used his spiritual power to transform into hands and dumped the remaining body of Qu Dashan at a place at the foot of the mountain where the villagers had to pass.
The next day.
"A'ran, open the door quickly, something seems to have happened in your mountain!" The villagers who went up the mountain to collect herbs knocked on the door and called A'ran.
