Translator: 549690339 |

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi, who had already been scared silly, hurriedly took a few steps and fell to their knees in front of Qiao Xiaomai.

Both of them were so dull and aloof, and now they were even more terrified, their faces white as sheets, their bodies trembling.

They couldn’t say anything, only kneeling and shaking uncontrollably.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Shufen couldn’t help but scold, “Cry! Plead! Are you dumb? If you stay silent, I’ll sell both of you to pay off your father’s debts!”

Upon hearing this, the sisters jerked as if electrocuted, then in unison, they knelt and kowtowed to Qiao Xiaoinai, crying loudly, “Sister Xiaomai, please, I beg you, I don’t want to be sold.”

“Sister Xiaomai, I beg you, I’ve kowtowed to you.”

The sisters couldn’t utter any other words, they just kept begging and kowtowing, their foreheads hitting the ground with a solid thud.

Qiao Xiaomai looked at them, clenched her teeth, and bit her lip.

She understood the plight of these sisters; they were treated like beasts of burden in their own home.

Therefore, she didn’t know whether Zhao Shufen was bluffing or really intending to sell them off.

It’s one thing to bluff, but if they are genuinely planning to sell off these sisters… She then said, “Zhao Shufen, according to the ‘Daqi Law’, those who sell humans are subjected to the punishment of dismemberment. Arms and legs are cut off while still alive, then the throat is cut.”

These words were spoken by Tong Tiehu when he first met the Sun Family and Zhu Cuiying.

Now was the time to intimidate Zhao Shufen with these words.

Zhao Shufen cried out in protest, “We can’t survive anymore, the sisters are volunteering to sell themselves!”

Selling fellow humans was a grave sin.

But volunteering to sell themselves was allowed, otherwise, the last resort of the poor would also be blocked.

Qiao Xiaomai fell silent. Considering the sisters’ temperaments, they might indeed end up selling themselves willingly in the end.

But both of them were barely adolescents, selling them to a mansion to serve as maids is clearly impossible, leaving only one option…

“Let them kneel there, Xiaomai, come with me to County Town.” Seeing Qiao Xiaomai’s hesitation, Tong Tiehu spoke up, his brows furrowing.

By this point, the villagers had already bound Qiao Chang’an to the donkey cart.

“Alright.” Qiao Xiaomai pursed her lips in agreement.

Under these circumstances, she needed to think carefully.

“Everyone disperse.” Tong Tiehu waved his hand, signalling the spectators to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Shufen looked at Qiao Chang’an lying on the donkey cart and began to wail, “You devil, you’ve ruined the entire family! Gods, my life is so miserable, I don’t want to live anymore!”

Crying in this manner, she tried to rush towards the donkey cart, shouting, “He cannot leave. If you want to leave, you’ll have to trample over my body!”

Even though she despised Qiao Chang’an to the core at this point, she couldn’t allow them to take him to County Town, because without him, their home would truly be destroyed.

But her individual strength was insignificant. She was prevented from reaching the donkey cart by two women before she even got close.

Unable to approach the cart, she cried out even more loudly, “I don’t want to live anymore, I don’t want to live anymore!”

Despite the severity of her crying, nobody paid her any attention.

Qiao Chang’an might have wanted to comfort her, but his mouth was gagged with a cloth, rendering him incapable of speaking.

Ma Dongshu spoke up, “Brother Tong, wait. Let’s go together, see you at the village entrance.”

After saying this, he dashed back to the Tong Family’s new house, ordered his servant to prepare the horse cart, and together with Tong Tiehu and Qiao Xiaomai, set off for County Town.
