"Also, my father never wore good clothes in his life. When he died, he was still wearing tatters and half-clothes. As a daughter, I can't let him leave in such an ignominy, otherwise he will be ruined underground. He was bullied by other ghosts... So I have to prepare decent shrouds and shoes for him... Auntie, do you think I have to spend more money to let dad leave in a dignified way? I am penniless. , I’m the only one left, so I have no choice but to pay too much for selling my body!”
The filial daughter cried even harder. When the others heard what she said, the doubts in their hearts disappeared immediately. It was explained so clearly that the price of selling one's body was so high, it was all for her father. This was What a wonderful boy!
After hearing this, the aunt who persuaded her couldn't help but sigh: "You are still thoughtful and have planned everything for your father."
"Yes, she is such a rare filial woman in the world!"
Others also praised it.
Shu Shichu looked at it from the side and thought it was ridiculous. Are people so easy to deceive now? Did they really believe what this girl said and couldn't see anything wrong with her?
She was shocked to observe the crowd of onlookers and found that they really thought that the girl was a filial daughter. She was very moved and said that although she was pitiful, she still wanted to bury her father properly even if she sold herself. She was very admirable.
Shu Shichu: ...people at this time are really simple.
She didn't know whether she should expose her.
Shu Shichu wanted to see if anyone would actually pay for her, so he waited aside.
"Miss Zhan." Just when she was concentrating on eating candied chestnuts, she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder and heard a voice behind her.
A tall figure walked up to her and said, "Miss Zhan, what are you watching here? Are you watching a sideshow?"
Shu Shichu looked at Mu Changqing who suddenly appeared and said meaningfully: "Yes, let's watch the sideshow."
Mu Changqing saw the girl who sold her body to bury her father. When she heard what Shu Shichu meant, she couldn't help but chuckled: "Miss Zhan thinks selling her body to bury her is a sideshow? Isn't she a bit cold-blooded?"
Shu Shichu looked at him with inquiring eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you think this is a sideshow?"
Mu Changqing glanced at the girl and understood the situation after listening to the comments of the people around him. A magnetic laughter escaped from his throat and said, "I think it's more like a well-rehearsed drama."
Shu Shichu looked at him in surprise, and Mu Changqing said funnyly: "In Miss Zhan's eyes, am I such a stupid person?"
Shu Shichu shook his head: "I thought you were used to showing pity to women, but it was too late to show pity to the poor little beauty. How could you doubt her?"
Mu Changqing sighed helplessly: "It seems that Miss Zhan misunderstood me quite deeply."
Shu Shichu coughed slightly and did not continue the topic, but asked: "Do you think anyone will buy this girl?"
"There will definitely be one." Mu Changqing said firmly.
"Why?" Shu Shichu asked curiously, "The price she set for the sale is not low. Ordinary people can't afford it. Fifty taels of silver is enough for a family of five to live for a year or two."
"So her target is not ordinary people." Mu Changqing smiled.
Shu Shichu thought about it and realized: "You are right."
Mu Changqing continued:
"Anyone who can afford fifty taels of silver to buy a maid must be from a wealthy family and doesn't care about such a small amount of money. But if he can afford fifty taels of silver to buy her, that person must be generous and not stingy. Maybe she has a little kindness, then if she becomes that person's wife, the treatment will not be too bad; if that person buys her purely for her beauty, with the girl's scheming, she can make better use of her beauty to climb up... …No matter how you calculate it, her advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”
When Mu Changqing was saying these words to Shu Shichu, a young man with several servants, rich and gorgeous in clothes, who looked like he was not from an ordinary family, walked up to the girl who sold her body to bury her father, and began to ask questions. Come.
"Oh, a fool really took the bait." Shu Shichu said gloatingly.
"Will that young master buy her?" Shu Shichu asked Mu Changqing.
"Probably so. It's easy for a man of this age to have a great dream of saving the world. Now that he meets a girl with a tragic life experience, shouldn't he have to help?" Mu Changqing said with a smile.
I understand, it’s the second grade disease. Men of 17 or 18 years old like to pity the poor and cherish the weak. It just so happens that the "weak" one looks pitiful, as if he can't live without saving him. What young man who admires Ai can refuse? Can you become the savior god of a weak woman?
"I will be treated as a fat sheep and slaughtered." Shu Shichu said without sympathy. Maybe the young master thought he was very great.
"Alas! Can't they see the clean embroidered shoes on the girl's feet? And the sleeves exposed under the linen clothes are not of good material, but they are clean and complete. Don't these people doubt that a father A girl who died without money to bury her, a girl who escaped from her hometown with no money, why are her clothes and shoes intact and clean?" Mu Changqing asked very puzzledly.
"Yes, even if you don't see her shoes and clothes, you can always see the sackcloth on her body, right? Isn't she penniless, and her father was naked before his death? Then where is the sackcloth she is wearing? Here?" Shu Shichu also found it strange why everyone turned a blind eye to these obvious flaws.
"Are we going to expose her?" Shu Shichu asked Mu Changqing.
Mu Changqing's face suddenly hardened and he said, "There is no need for us to expose it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers suddenly panicked and fled around, screaming: "Killing! Killing!"
Shu Shichu was shocked and looked at the place where the incident happened. He saw the girl who sold her body to bury her father was raising a knife to stab the rich man. The rich man was so frightened that he peed his pants. He covered the wound and begged for mercy: "Don't kill me." Me, don’t kill me… I’ll give you money!”
Several servants brought by the rich man wanted to come forward to save the man, but they were stopped by another man. That man was the "dead man" who was swept by the broken grass before. Unexpectedly, he was still alive and could come back to kill someone.
"The thief who killed my sister! I want you to pay for her life!" The girl who sold her body to bury her father said hatefully while stabbing the rich man fiercely. The movements of her hands were sharp and fast. Within a few moments, she was caught. The wealthy man was covered in blood, his eyes were wide open, and he fell to the ground limply.
And his lackeys were also killed by the old man who pretended to be dead bodies.
Shu Shichu was dumbfounded as he watched all this development. He didn't expect that this was neither a sideshow nor a drama, nor a scheming woman clinging to the powerful, but a story of revenge!
