Chapter 475: Chapter 476: A Sudden Change in Character

While she spoke, Li Chunhua’s heart bled: she was suddenly short of twenty yuan!

Because it was said that the girl was educated, the promised price was high, a full hundred yuan!

She originally thought about pocketing fifty yuan privately and deducting ten yuan as a hard-working fee from her young daughter. This way, she would have effortlessly earned sixty yuan!

As a result, she didn’t expect this cowardly child to be so scared and dominated by that old hag Ma Xiulian, hardly daring to sell her own daughter.

Utterly useless!

But if her daughter didn’t agree, she wouldn’t even have a single yuan!

Minus twenty yuan is minus twenty yuan. Anyway, she would make it back later.

Upon hearing that she could get seventy yuan, Li Chunhua gritted her teeth and said decisively, "Okay, I’ll sell for an extra twenty yuan!"

This is a full seventy yuan. Even if she let Sanni continue her education, she wouldn’t necessarily get such a high bride price in the future.

Moreover, she was sure that this ungrateful girl wouldn’t be filial to her when she grew up.

Li Chunhua showed happiness instantly and said, "That’s my daughter! Take Sanni to the market next week."

The people from the ravine only go down the mountain to buy annual goods next week. Otherwise, they might not go down the mountain once a month.

At this time, several men returned from the field.

Upon seeing Li Chunhua, Chen Jianye’s face immediately fell.

Ever since they separated, her mother-in-law would occasionally come to take advantage of them. If they didn’t give her something, she would throw a tantrum at their door, making them lose face!

However, Li Chunhua was chuckling, warmly calling out, "Son-in-law, you’re back from work. The food is ready and we are waiting for you."

As the saying goes, one doesn’t slap a person who’s all smiles. Chen Jianye is all about saving face, so he couldn’t bring himself to ask her to leave, grumbling in agreement.

Thankfully, this time she didn’t bring a bunch of nephews to freeload.

During the meal, Li Chunhua unusually gave Sanni a full bowl of vegetables and porridge. Li Chunhua didn’t complain about it being tasteless, which surprised both Sanni and Chen Jianye.

What’s wrong with these two today?

Did they suddenly change their nature?

While they were puzzled, Li Chunhua started to grumble about Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu favoring their sons, "You know, they all came from the same parents, all sons! Why does the fourth son get to live in a brick house and become a worker, and the fifth son makes good money as a carpenter, while only Jianye farms and still struggles to eat enough. Poor my two little grandsons."

If the couple earned more money, they could help out their poor Li family more!

Hearing this, Chen Jianye did not respond, but felt a little uncomfortable inside.

The fourth son being enlisted in the army was on his own merit and was chosen for his performance. He had never felt jealous of him.

The fifth son was too weak to work in the field let alone get married. Even supporting himself was hard. Their parents sent him to learn a skill, and Chen Jianye could understand that.

But knowing it is one thing and living with such a disparity is another.

Especially when he thought about the two sons who shared his suffering, he felt a blockage in his chest.

If only his mother had sent him to learn carpentry too!

He never considered that Chen Jianguo and Chen Jiandang were in the same situation as him.

And he didn’t consider that the old carpenter would not necessarily have taken in the fifth son, let alone him, if it wasn’t for his daughter’s interest in Chen Jianmin.

However, Li Chunhua was gulping down her vegetable porridge and gnawing on her bread.

After finishing, she wiped her mouth, stood up, and said, "Chunhua, I’m going now. We’ve agreed on that, right?"

After saying that, she actually left as she said, and for the first time, didn’t take anything.
