Chapter 474 - 475: Add Twenty More Pieces

Chapter 474: Chapter 475: Add Twenty More Pieces

She didn’t believe a word Ma Xiulian said, but she didn’t want to disrespect her either. So she told Sanni who was tending to the fire, "Sanni, come over and cook."

Then she followed old lady Li into the house.

Old lady Li carefully closed the door and said in a low voice, "Chunhua, there’s a family in the ravine who wants to buy a girl to ghost-marry their deceased son. They specifically said they wanted someone who could read. I think Sanni would be perfect."

"No!" Li Chunhua immediately shook her head.

If her mother-in-law finds out that she sold Sanni, she would surely kill her!

Old lady Li spread her fingers, "They’re willing to pay fifty yuan!"

Li Chunhua was taken aback, "Fifty yuan?! That much?!"

Her own dowry back in the day was only thirty yuan!

Old lady Li nodded and said with a smug grin, "The eldest son of that family got his head cracked and died, so they want to purchase a girl to ghost-marry their son. The younger son is about to turn into a teenager and would need a wife. That’s why they’re willing to pay this much."

If it wasn’t for their request of a literate girl, she would have sold her own granddaughter by now!

But since she was the middleman here, if the transaction goes well, she deserves a large share!

Li Chunhua was quite tempted, but she still shook her head and said, "The child’s father will never agree."

They’re not struggling to put food on the table now and selling daughters to be child brides, let alone ghost brides, isn’t as common as it was.

The most important thing is, her husband values his reputation, he would never agree to this.

"We could make it behind his back, sell her stealthily!"

Old lady Li coaxed, "That ravine is quite remote, outsiders unfamiliar with the path wouldn’t be able to find the village even if they entered the mountain. Anyway, raising a daughter is just a money-draining chore, it’s a waste of food."

Li Chunhua was more tempted, but she still had some reservations, "Mother, you don’t know Sanni, that darn girl. She’s been so cocky ever since my mother-in-law started backing her up. She doesn’t fear me at all! If she learns we are selling her off to be someone’s child bride, she will definitely run!"

If the plan fails and is revealed, not only would her mother-in-law retaliate, but also her husband!

"That old hag Ma Xiulian, she’s a nosy parker. Since they have separated households, how others raise their daughters isn’t her business!"

Old lady Li cursed her first, then gave a suggestion, "When the time comes, create an excuse to bring Sanni to town secretly. They can just kidnap her and take her away. Even if the Chen Family finds out, it will be too late."

Li Chunhua was still hesitant. After all, selling a daughter to be a ghost bride wasn’t something honorable!

And it was inevitable to be scolded and beaten by her mother-in-law.

Seeing this, old lady Li continued to coax her heart out, "I am doing this all for you. That ungrateful girl isn’t even blood-related, might as well send her away sooner than later to get some money for Xiaobao’s education. And remember, to marry Jinbao off, you’ll need money for his bride!"

Seeing Li Chunhua hesitating, she had no choice but to promise, "Chunhua, what if I could convince them to add twenty more yuan! After all, daughters are just mouths to feed. You might as well sell her now and save up for a dowry. You would save a lot on food too. And who knows how much she’ll be worth when it’s her turn to get married!"
