It was during the ti when Zhang Xiaoshan and Wei Bao were gambling.
Wu Xiaoru, her hair disheveled, trembled as she returned ho.
Her dignity had been completely crushed by Zhang Xiaoshan.
Her first ti was taken by Zhang Xiaoshan in such a humiliating way.
She even had so bruises on her face.
If soone were to strip off her clothes, they could even see many bruises left on her body from being whipped.
"You’re back, what did they say?"
Zhang Yulian sat on a small stool, waiting in the yard.
When she saw Wu Xiaoru enter, she imdiately went up to et her.
But she didn’t care about Wu Xiaoru’s pitiful state right then.
She even thought it was all as it should be.
Wu Xiaoru nodded with hot tears in her eyes.
"He, he agreed, mom, I..."
Wu Xiaoru wanted to tell her own mother about her grievances, but Zhang Yulian had no interest in listening any further.
"Hahaha, good, good, it’s good that Zhang Xiaoshan agreed."
"I need to go get ready, to welco Little Yong back ho."
Zhang Yulian murmured and twisted her body to go back into the yard.
She completely ignored Wu Xiaoru.
It was as if Wu Xiaoru was not her daughter, rely a tool.
"I, Mom, I am your daughter too."
"For you, for Little Yong, for this family, I did so much, why don’t you care at all about my wellbeing?"
"Wah wah."
Wu Xiaoru squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
At that mont, she had a sudden realization
She was never really treated as a human being in this family.
The only one who truly loved her was the once naive Zhang Xiaoshan.
But she was foolish enough to listen to her own mother’s words and personally let her own happiness slip away.
She curled up on the ground, squatting into a ball, crying even louder.
"You star of doom, stop crying, I’m not dead yet."
Zhang Yulian stuck her head out of the window and cursed.
...
In the village hall, within the card room.
Zhang Xiaoshan felt secretly thrilled after hearing the condition proposed by Wei Bao.
His goal had finally been achieved.
But he knew he couldn’t appear too eager, as it would not do to reveal any loopholes for Wei Bao to exploit.
"Tch"
He snorted disdainfully and then spoke with contempt.
"Are you joking with ? One hundred thousand yuan?"
"Is that woman of yours made of gold or sothing?"
"With one hundred thousand yuan, I can pick out an eighteen-year-old girl, guaranteed to be pure."
Wei Bao argued back.
"My conscience as a witness, I haven’t touched her yet."
"Even if you haven’t touched her, can you guarantee she hadn’t been with a man before coming to White Dragon Village?"
"Looking at that woman’s appearance, I reckon she is no angel; she’s probably already slept with quite a few n."
"You’re asking for one hundred thousand for a worn-out shoe?"
"You might as well go rob soone."
The rest of the crowd ca back to their senses and started to chi in.
"Exactly, to find a good woman in the village, it only costs about fifty to sixty thousand, and that woman you’ve tornted half to death, who knows how long she’ll live."
"Aren’t you just trying to trick soone?"
At this point, Wei Bao also began to feel guilty.
True, the woman had been so tornted by him that she barely looked human anymore.
"Then, then you na a price, whatever you say."
"Thirty thousand."
Zhang Xiaoshan stretched out three fingers.
Wei Bao imdiately beca anxious.
"I, I spent over fifty thousand to get her, and you, you’re only giving half, you..."
"If that doesn’t work for you, forget it, I’m not even interested."
"I’m a reputable university graduate with a stable job, I have money, I’m good-looking, what kind of woman can’t I find? I’m offering you thirty thousand as a courtesy to a fellow villager."
"If you don’t want it, then just keep her for yourself."
Zhang Xiaoshan cursed under his breath and was about to leave.
"Hold on, don’t rush, we can talk it over, fine, thirty thousand then."
"Give the money."
At these words, Zhang Xiaoshan was internally overjoyed.
"Fine, then let’s draw up an IOU between us."
He calmly stated.
"Okay."
Quickly, the IOU was drafted and thumbprints were pressed.
Zhang Xiaoshan slipped it into his pocket and then handed thirty thousand yuan to Wei Bao.
Wei Bao, having received the money, imdiately beca impatient.
"Now that I have money, let’s continue gambling. You can’t leave until you’ve won everything from ."
"Sure, as you wish."
Zhang Xiaoshan said nonchalantly.
The gambling resud.
Wei Bao, learning his lesson, was much more conservative with his bets.
An hour went by with little change in winnings or losses.
The crowd watching grew impatient.
"Wei Bao, are you making tofu with a woman there? What’s with the dilly-dallying?"
"Place a big bet."
"It’s my own damn money, is it any of your business?"
Wei Bao was still hoping to make a coback with this money, so how could he possibly bet it all away in one go?
But soon enough, an opportunity arose
"Let’s see if you die this ti."
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Wei Bao’s cards with the Heavenly Dragon’s Eye, and then at his own, and smiled.
