-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 3: Sold. Seventy catties of corn flour plus thirty yuan, the deal was done.

Feeling restless and uneasy, Xiang Chen clenched the hem of his clothes, cold sweat oozing from his palms.

He secretly glanced around. In this desolate place with no signs of human life, with his short legs, he couldn't run more than a few steps before being caught and brought back. If these two individuals were to knock him out or tie him up, things would be even worse.

Xiang Chen dared not act rashly, yet he was unwilling to passively endure the situation. So, he covered his face and pretended to cry, shouting for his mother.

Uncle Ma, irritated by his crying, took a few steps over, ready to slap him. Auntie Ma quickly stopped him and whispered, "Why would you hit his face? This pretty little child looks like a character from a New Year painting. How much can he be worth? It's not worth it to damage him."

Uncle Ma lowered his hand, frowning. "This brat's crying is irritating me. Should I just gag him?" he said, reaching for something.

Auntie Ma sneered and said, "Watch me." She grabbed Xiang Chen's arm with both hands, her fingers reaching the inside of his upper arm, pinching a piece of tender flesh and twisting it forcefully.

Xiang Chen trembled in pain, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes. It wasn't an act; it truly hurt. He was about to cry out when Auntie Ma stared at him and said, "Every time you cry, I'll twist you. Keep crying."

Xiang Chen pursed his lips, not daring to make a sound. This woman had a strong grip, like a pair of pliers, holding his arms so tightly that he couldn't move, allowing her to pinch and twist at will.

"Hey, your trick works," Uncle Ma said to Auntie Ma.

Auntie Ma raised her eyelids and sneered, "Just a few little brats. I've dealt with more difficult ones than this. They all ended up obedient in the end. And you, too, stop thinking about using force. A child who's been beaten up won't be worth much."

Uncle Ma smiled at Auntie Ma, flattering her, and said, "You're right, Third Sister. I'm just getting started. I need more guidance from you in the future. After all, we're family."

Xiang Chen pricked up his ears and realized that these two were not actually married. Moreover, it seemed that Auntie Ma was the one in control between the two.

"It depends on your performance," Auntie Ma said. "My words don't count."

Uncle Ma nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I understand. I have to go see Lei first..."

"Shut up!" Auntie Ma sternly interrupted him. "How dare you say such things? You're seeking death and dragging me down too?"

Reprimanded by her, Uncle Ma shrank his neck and looked around, putting on a smiling face, saying, "There's no one here. These little brats don't understand a word."

Seeing that Auntie Ma was still displeased, he quickly lightly patted his own mouth with his hand as an apology, "I have a foul mouth. Third Sister, please don't mind. You see, I've brought my little girl out. My sincerity is genuine. Please speak for me, and I'll definitely repay you in the future."

Auntie Ma let out a disdainful chuckle, glanced at the wooden and dazed little girl on the cart, and said, "Just a little girl, what's she worth? Luckily, she looks like your wife. If she looked like you, I wouldn't even take her for free."
