Chapter 610 Wang Guoer (2)
"You should have pity on your parents. We have never seen a hundred taels of silver in our lives!" Wang Guoer's father said, but Wang Guoer felt her heart go cold.
"This is indeed a lot of money. I only sold my body for five taels!" Ji Xiaowu laughed, "It's really a lot!"
"I'm glad you know it. It's one hundred taels! With this one hundred taels, we can find a wife for your brother, build a house at home, and we two old people can spend our old age in peace." Wang Guoer's mother said excitedly.
"So when you told Guo'er that she would give you fifty taels, do you mean you plan to give her fifty taels back?" Mother Ji said with a smile.
"How is that possible... Guo'er, what mother means is that I will bring you ten... Oh no, twenty taels of silver back home as your private money!" Wang Guo'er's mother said immediately.
But everyone felt that what she said was unlikely. The most likely scenario was that she would marry Wang Guoer without giving her a cent.
He would even be complacent, thinking that whose daughter could be sold for a hundred taels? He would use the money from selling his daughter's body to marry a wife and build a house. He really had a good plan.
"You have a really good plan! Sell a daughter for 100 taels, and then spend the money to live comfortably." Long Shiyu sneered, "But have you ever thought about what kind of life Guo'er will have in her husband's family? You don't care at all, do you?"
"That old pockmarked man is here to propose marriage, and he's offering one hundred taels of silver. Don't you think it's strange?" Wu Xiaoxiao glared at the two of them.
"That old pockmarked guy is old enough to be Guo'er's father, which means he is not much older than you, or even older than you. How dare you still have the nerve to call him son-in-law?" Chu Qin sneered.
"Why are you meddling in other people's business? This is my family affair, you have no right to interfere!" Wang Guoer's parents were furious and pointed at Ji Xiaomu and others and cursed them.
"Wang Guoer, I tell you, you must go home with us today! Marry me peacefully tomorrow! We are not afraid even if the county magistrate comes. It's her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. We are her parents. There's nothing wrong in finding a husband for her!" Wang Guoer's mother said angrily.
"Sister..." The girls who had the same background as Wang Guoer looked at Ji Xiaou and others with pale faces. They all knew that what Wang Guoer's parents said was right.
It is only natural for biological parents to find their daughter's parents' home. Even if the village chief comes, they will have nothing to say.
If Wang Guoer got married, would they also have to face similar things in the future?
"Really? So you mean to say that you don't even want your daughter for that one hundred taels?" Ji Xiaou looked at the girls soothingly and pulled Wang Guoer in front of her.
"She must get married!" Wang Guoer's father said heavily.
"Wang Guoer, do you dare to sever ties with your parents today?" Mother Ji looked at Wang Guoer and asked seriously.
Wang Guoer was stunned and didn't react. "Sister, what did you say?"
"They are just after money. If that old man with pockmarks can buy it, so can I." Aunt Ji said to Wang Guoer with a smile.
"Wang Guoer's current salary is two hundred coins a month, but she is still studying. When she finishes her studies, her salary will increase to ten taels a month. One hundred taels is only her salary for ten months!" Aunt Ji said indifferently to Wang Guoer's parents.
The two thought that Ji Xiaowu was going to say something, but when they heard that Wang Guoer would get ten taels of silver if she completed her apprenticeship in one month, they were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up.
