"I call you Aunt Du out of respect, but your words and actions, what part of them deserves my respect? Last time you sold me to that scoundrel, my mother had to pay double to buy me back, sparing me a lifetime of suffering. Now you want to deceive me again, who are you trying to sell me to this time?"
Beisitian did not speak passionately, but the subtle sorrow and disappointment between her brows made her words even more convincing.
Mrs. Qin did not expect her to speak so directly about this matter. She was worried about the trouble it might cause Beisitian, afraid of gossip among the villagers that would hurt her feelings. Thus, only she and her husband knew about it; not even the old folks back home were aware.
As Mrs. Qin anticipated, Beisitian's words stirred up an uproar, instantly causing a buzzing sound from the crowd.
No wonder Beisitian suddenly became Luo Er's wife back then; there was another layer of connection!
