Li Shu looked at Ni Yang, her eyes full of mockery.
This little girl is just too stupid!
Even more stupid than she had imagined!
Someone sells her and she still counts the money for them.
Even Li Xianxian was scared of her.
Li Xianxian smiled and said, “Good, good, Yangyang, that’s what it is. A girl should be obedient so that she can have good days after she gets married.”
Ni Yang nodded, “Mmm, Aunt Ashu is right.”
Ni Cuihua looked at Ni Yang somewhat unbelievably from the side.
What’s going on with this kid?
How could she agree to meet that eunuch!
Didn’t she say she wanted to leave this place with her mother and sister?
Ni Cuihua anxiously looked at Ni Yang, her eyes seeming to have a thousand words to say.
Ni Yang slightly raised her eyes, met Ni Cuihua’s gaze, with a faint smile in her eyes.
Oddly.
Ni Cuihua felt a sense of assurance seeing the look in her eyes.
The deal was settled, old lady Mu slapped the table and said, “Alright, let’s start the meal.”
Because she was about to sell Ni Yang to the old bachelor, old lady Mu didn’t make it hard for Ni Cuihua at the dinner table; she even graciously allowed Ni Cuihua to eat an extra bowl of porridge.
After the meal, old lady Mu took out a pink dress and handed it to Ni Yang, “Yangyang, this is a dress that grandma especially asked someone to buy in the city. It cost 2 yuan! You should wear it tomorrow!”
At any other time, where would old lady Mu be willing to spend money to buy new clothes for Ni Yang?
But now it’s different!
Ni Yang can now be sold for 200 yuan!
What if she looks dirty and the man doesn’t like her?
Between 200 yuan and 2 yuan, of course, 200 yuan is more important.
Ni Yang joyfully took the clothes, “Wow! Such a beautiful dress! Thank you, grandma, you’re so good!”
This sentence ‘you’re so good, grandma’ made old lady Mu feel a bit uneasy for some reason.
What’s up with this little brat Ni Yang?
Old lady Mu looked at Ni Yang and said, “I’m your grandma, how can I not be good?”
No matter what, Ni Yang can’t change the fact that she is her grandma.
She is her grandma!
She can sell Ni Yang to whomever she wants!
Thinking this way, old lady Mu felt a little relieved.
Ni Yang gave a faint smile, “Yes, grandma, you’re the best. If there’s nothing else, mom and I will go wash the dishes in the kitchen.”
“Go ahead.” Old lady Mu waved her hand casually, “By the way, feed the sheep.”
“Understood.” Ni Yang obediently answered.
Watching the retreating figures of Ni Yang and Ni Cuihua disappearing into the kitchen, old lady Mu looked at Li Shu, somewhat unsure, “Ashu, are you sure you and your distant cousin have discussed everything clearly?”
She didn’t know why, but old lady Mu always felt her heart keep ‘thumping’, like something big was about to happen.
Li Shu laughed, “Mom, rest assured, my cousin will come early tomorrow morning, and Yangyang is so pretty! This marriage contract won’t escape!”
Old lady Mu nodded, “That’s good.”
In the kitchen.
Ni Cuihua looked at Ni Yang with a worried expression, “Yangyang, why did you agree to your grandma just now? If we really meet the man tomorrow, can we still get away?”
The Mu family treats her as a free workhorse and Ni Yang as a money tree.
Under these circumstances, can she really successfully divorce Mu Jinbao?
Ni Yang patted Ni Cuihua’s hand, “Mom, don’t worry. What I did just now was just a delaying tactic. As soon as tomorrow is over, I’ll immediately take you and my sister away from here, and we’ll start a new life.”
Can the three of them really start a new life?
Ni Cuihua was very worried.
Ni Cuihua gripped Ni Yang’s hand, her gaze firm, “Yangyang, why don’t we take your sister and escape together!”
Ni Yang was delighted that Ni Cuihua had such an awareness. Shaking her head, she said, “No, Mom, we won’t run away! You’re divorcing Dad, we’re leaving openly.”
In an era where even train tickets are hard to buy without a letter of introduction, where could they possibly run to?
If they could flee, Ni Yang would have taken Ni Cuihua and escaped a long time ago. Why would they go through all these troubles then?
Ni Cuihua still seemed somewhat worried.
Ni Yang comforted her with a smile, “Mom, don’t worry, go back and rest. We should leave tomorrow after a good rest tonight.”
“Alright.” Ni Cuihua nodded in agreement.
Well!
She might as well trust her daughter this time!
…
The night breeze was gentle. Ni Yang lay on a hay bed in the Firewood Room, a piece of dogtail grass hanging from her mouth, gazing at the starry sky in a trance.
In the 1980s, without pollution from factories, the sky was extremely brilliant. The stars of Altair and Vega could be seen.
“Croak, croak, croak…”
The sounds of frogs and insects filled the ears, and the air was full of the fragrance of ripe paddy.
Such a night was so peaceful!
The faint glow of fireflies interlaced with the starlight, casting a soft glow on Ni Yang, making her look like a banished immortal who descended from the moon. Underneath her long eyelashes hid a pair of charming peach-blossom eyes, giving off a gleam as brilliant as the Milky Way!
Such a beautiful woman.
At that moment, Ni Yang suddenly felt something hard against her back. She felt around in the hay and pulled out a delicate wristwatch.
If she guessed correctly, this watch should belong to that man.
Successful people all fancy watches, Ni Yang was no exception. Furthermore, Ni Yang in her previous life studied watches specially.
This was an extremely valuable watch.
A model like this was almost extinct in the future.
Even now, this watch was a limited edition one, with no more than three in existence worldwide!
It was worth 100,000 RMB.
What did 100,000 RMB mean at that time?
It meant enormous wealth!
One could tell from this that the owner of the watch was not an ordinary person at all!
However, it didn’t matter who he was.
She couldn’t afford to mess with a guy covered in blood like him.
Ni Yang placed the watch back into the hay, squinted her eyes, and started to sleep. Thinking that she could leave this hellhole the next day, a faint smile appeared on Ni Yang’s face.
The time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
The golden sunlight filled the earth.
Early in the morning, Ni Cuihua was already busy in the kitchen.
The air was filled with the sweet aroma of steamed sweet potatoes and the fragrance of steamed buns.
Seeing Ni Yang come in, Ni Cuihua secretly handed her two boiled eggs, “Yangyang, here you go.”
Ni Yang calmly put the boiled eggs in her pocket.
Ni Cuihua continued, “Yangyang, can we really leave here today?”
“Hmm.” Ni Yang nodded slightly, “Mom, remember to follow my lead later. I will definitely take you and sis away from here.”
Ni Cuihua wiped her hands on her apron, “Okay, what should I do to help you?”
Ni Yang leaned over and whispered into Ni Cuihua’s ear.
This version of Ni Yang, brilliant and confident, with a voice as calming as a spell, put people at ease.
Ni Cuihua slowly calmed down. Looking at Ni Yang, she said, “Hmm, Yangyang, I got it. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely cooperate with you!”
As long as she could take her two daughters away from here, she was willing to do anything!

It took a while before the people of the Mu family got up for breakfast.
Suddenly, after the meal, there was a frantic knock on the door from outside, “Is anyone there? Is anyone home?”
