Chapter 231 But Survival is Better Than Anything
Shangguan Haochen pouted, looking aggrieved: "Of course, that was the first time that brother was so serious with me, but I know that brother was doing it for my own good."
As he spoke, Shangguan Haochen even crawled over to Shangguan Haomu, hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "My brother is the best."
Then he turned to look at Liu Yixiao and reminded him, "Brother Liu, this lesson is right in front of you. Don't follow my old path."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yixiao burst into laughter, his laughter was hearty.
But behind this laughter is deep envy.
How happy it is that someone cares so much about his growth and helps him correct his mistakes.
But at this moment his heart was also full of emotion, and he now truly felt the kindness they exuded.
He felt lucky to be able to meet them at this moment, but he couldn't help thinking that if he had met them earlier, maybe he could have had a different life.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed and warm, and the slight awkwardness from before disappeared.
Su Yue took Shen Yunyan and Xiao Fan out happily.
They first went to the pawnshop and took out the things they had prepared in advance to pawn.
This time, they visited almost all the pawnshops in Jianning City, even the drugstores.
The things Su Yue took out to pawn were quite varied, and each one was different and very consistent with the characteristics of this dynasty.
For places like this where you're just passing through and won't stay long, it doesn't matter if you keep more, as you won't need them in the future anyway.
After pawning at the last pawnshop, Su Yue was so happy looking at the thick stack of banknotes in her hand that she excitedly pulled Shen Yunyan's hand and jumped for joy like a child.
Shen Yunyan looked at her lovingly and let her pull him.
Xiao Fan followed behind and couldn't help laughing when he saw Su Yue's happy expression.
Then, Su Yue took them on a shopping spree.
As soon as Su Yue saw the nice clothes, her eyes lit up and she couldn't control herself at all and rushed straight into the store.
Shen Yunyan couldn't stop him from behind and could only follow him helplessly.
Whenever Su Yue buys something, she always thinks about giving one to each person and never shows favoritism.
Every shopkeeper who saw Su Yue looked at him as if he had seen the God of Wealth and couldn't stop smiling.
Su Yue bought all kinds of food, daily necessities and toys without hesitation as long as she liked them.
After buying something, they would go to a deserted place and secretly put most of the money away, leaving only a little in the open to avoid attracting too much attention.
In this way, they shopped as they went, and before they knew it, they had gained a lot.
Just when Su Yue and his companions had returned with a full load and were happily preparing to return to the inn, they suddenly saw a group of people gathered not far ahead, talking.
Su Yue always loved to join in the fun, so she immediately pulled Shen Yunyan and Xiaofan over.
In the middle of the crowd, a young woman was holding a whip fiercely, whipping a man kneeling on the ground again and again.
The man was in tattered clothes and his body was covered in blood, but he didn't dare to dodge and just endured it silently.
From the conversations of people around her, Su Yue gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that this young man was moving goods for others in order to supplement his family income. However, when moving the goods, he accidentally broke them because they were too heavy, and he had to pay compensation.
When his wife found out, she paid him compensation and then whipped him to vent her anger.
Su Yue looked at the man, whose body was already covered in blood, with new wounds piled on top of old ones. If he continued to be beaten like this, he would be disabled if not dead.
She couldn't help but frown and asked others how much money the man had paid in compensation.
A woman next to her whispered to Su Yue, "I lost two taels of silver, and even my wages for the day are gone."
Su Yue couldn't help but click her tongue when she heard this. She couldn't believe it and complained in her heart: "Two taels of silver, is it worth beating her husband like this? This is too cruel!"
She was full of confusion, wondering how someone could be so cruel to her husband for such a small amount of money.
Su Yue is not the kind of pushover who helps everyone she sees, but given that she has the ability, she really can't bear to watch the man being treated so cruelly.
After all, two taels of silver were not worth a human life to her, so she might as well do a good deed that day.
Thinking of this, Su Yue turned to look at Xiaofan, only to see that Xiaofan was still pretending to be confused, as if he didn't understand what she meant.
Su Yue snorted softly and whispered in Xiao Fan's ear, "Don't pretend, I know you have a way, please help him, he's so pitiful.
If he is willing, help him escape from his wife. Although a man abandoned by his wife will not be wanted by another woman, it is better to survive than anything else. "
Xiao Fan didn't feel embarrassed when Su Yue exposed him.
He had long known that Su Yue was smart, and he would definitely not be able to hide his thoughts from her, and he didn't want to hide it from Su Yue.
So Xiao Fan nodded, gave Su Yue a reassuring look, then turned and walked towards the corner of the crowd.
Xiao Fan's steps were steady and firm. He passed through the gap in the crowd and soon disappeared from Su Yue's sight.
Su Yue prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Xiao Fan could resolve the matter smoothly and help the poor man escape from his predicament.
At this time, the young woman in the crowd continued to beat and scold
She was anxiously waiting for Xiaofan's return, looking in the direction Xiaofan left from time to time, hoping to see Xiaofan appear with good news soon.
Soon, Xiao Fan came back and nodded to Su Yue calmly.
Not long after, a woman in luxurious clothes, surrounded by maids, came forward and stopped the woman who was whipping.
The woman who was whipping the boy was still immersed in anger. Just as she was about to curse, her eyes caught sight of the silver in the elegant woman's hand, and she swallowed back the curse words that were about to come out of her mouth.
The elegant woman took out five taels of silver and handed it over, saying coldly, "Give me the person and take the money."
When the woman saw the five taels of silver, her eyes lit up instantly.
You have to know that this man was assigned by the government, and she didn't spend a penny to marry him. Now someone is willing to pay five taels of silver for him, so she would naturally be more than happy to accept it. Otherwise, she would be heartbroken to have to pay the two taels of silver as compensation.
After realizing this, the woman immediately wanted to take the five taels of silver.
However, the elegant woman withdrew her hand and said, "Stamp it first. From now on, he is mine and no longer your husband."
The woman nodded hurriedly, quickly found paper and pen, and immediately pressed her fingerprints.
After doing all this, she didn't forget to kick the man lying on the ground and said viciously: "You are lucky that someone actually likes you."
In fact, this kind of thing is an unwritten rule in Mingxi Country.
Even if a man already has a wife, as long as another woman is interested in him and both parties agree, the man will be bought in this way without the man's consent.
Therefore, everyone is used to seeing such scenes, and the people around just watch indifferently, without any surprise or sympathy.
