Chapter 51: Offering a Poisonous Plan

"Do you mean. . . ?" The man who had just finished crying covered his mouth in astonishment, but he couldn't hide the sound that escaped.

The man immediately slapped him: "Do you want to die? Why are you shouting so loudly!" After saying that, several people looked around cautiously, relieved only after confirming that no one was there.

"If we forcefully seize it, Uncle Xu's family will definitely resist. . . Will it lead to loss of life?" The man spoke cautiously.

Another person snorted coldly, "If you're too timid, then don't be greedy. In the end, it won't be our family starving, and I won't end up selling my children."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hesitant man immediately fell silent.

Yes, none of us can survive, so why would we care about others' lives?

Just like that widower who sold his son. His son was at the age to get married in two years, but at this age, if sold to human traffickers, he would definitely end up in a brothel.

He remembered hearing someone in the village say that Cheng Songer was going to sell her brother to the Yihong Pavilion. Although they were all lowly servants, Yihong Pavilion had many high-ranking officials and wealthy people. They ate well and dressed well. But the brothel. . .

The ones serving there were crude village women, even beggars. They had all kinds of diseases, and for just two copper coins, one could have them once. They were often rough and couldn't refuse. Within a few years, they would die from contracting a dirty disease.

The man thought of his two sons and gradually became more determined. He absolutely couldn't let his children end up in such a situation.

-------------------------------------

On May 16th, Lin Yun married Li Shi and held a wedding banquet in the village.

Although due to the famine, the scale of the feast couldn't compare to the scene when Lin Yuxiu got married and they slaughtered pigs and sheep for the whole village, they still killed two chickens and a fat goose. The pot was filled with thick rice soup, enough to make the entire Cheng family village jealous.

But they still came over with smiles to congratulate Uncle Xu and fill their stomachs along the way.

Lin Yuxiu also came, and because of the recent chaos, the Liu family sent several servants to accompany her.

These servants were all strong and sturdy, and in the famine year, they ate well in the landlord's house. Their physical strength was beyond doubt, and they also carried weapons in their hands, originally to guard against the refugees on the road.

But now their appearance has forced some people who were originally eager to temporarily stop their plans.

Lin Yuxiu scanned the courtyard and almost everyone in the village came to congratulate, but Cheng Songer was nowhere to be seen. She couldn't help but ask, "Father, isn't Cheng Songer our neighbor? Why didn't she come?"

Uncle Xu was busy cooking porridge and said, "She's sick, so she didn't come. She asked Qingzhi to convey her congratulations to us."

Lin Yuxiu looked at the tightly closed doors and windows of the Cheng family, worried about his condition. He quickly scooped a large bowl of freshly cooked chicken soup and specially added a big chicken leg to take to the Cheng family.

Just as he was about to push open the courtyard door, Cheng Qingzhi hurriedly greeted him, "What are you here for?"

Cheng Songer is not here, and Cheng Qingzhi doesn't need to pretend to be polite in front of him.
