Gao Dashu is indeed Gao Mutou's elder brother. If the people from the gambling house really forced their way in, could he stand by and watch them break his brother's arms and legs?
Given the Gao Family's situation, they definitely can't come up with fifty taels of silver. If they're really forced to the point of selling their children, choosing between their own and an outsider is probably not even a question that needs pondering.
Furthermore, An Ning has realized that those sent by the Flower Mama mentioned by the old Mrs. Gao are guarding outside, making her even more afraid to go out.
Yan Shi couldn't wait any longer for Gao Mutou to return, so she also came over to see what was happening, only to find out that both Gao Dashu and the old Mrs. Gao were there.
Yan Shi is not a fool; in the blink of an eye, she realized something was amiss with the situation.
Seeing that An Ning was not inside, Yan Shi suddenly became frantic, "Where is Ningning?"
