Chapter 171 Buying Liang's Mother and Son
When Old Man Yang saw the person coming, he nodded and pointed at his two granddaughters on the ground:
"Miss, you are here to look for these two money-losing guys, right? I will tie them up and let you take them back."
When Old Lady Yang heard this, she knew that the girl with extraordinary temperament in front of her was the one who bought these two bitches today.
She immediately stepped forward in a flattering manner, but was stopped by Bai Guo.
Looking at Baiguo's cold eyes, Old Lady Yang smiled awkwardly, feeling bored.
"When did my people need you to make a decision? I'm just taking them home to check on them today. Is there a problem?"
After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, the people outside the courtyard pointed at Old Man Yang and his family and started talking.
When the eldest family heard the noise, they hurried over.
When Yang Jiye and his son saw Qu Jingyao and her servant, they never took their eyes off them.
"Mom, don't be afraid. This is the master who bought us. She is a very good person. We have not been wronged."
Xiuchunniang Liang looked at the girl in front of her, and hurriedly knelt down in front of her, grabbed the corner of her clothes and begged her to buy the two children back.
Qu Jingyao glanced at Liang Shi, whose eyes and half of her cheeks were swollen, and asked in a deep voice:
"Buy them back? Will your parents-in-law agree? Instead of asking you to buy back the two children, how about I buy you and your children?"
When Liang heard her words, she collapsed on the ground in despair and looked at her in disbelief.
The son stepped forward and grabbed his mother, looking at Qu Jingyao angrily. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by his two younger sisters behind him.
"Oh, you're serious. Do you really want to buy them?"
When Old Man Yang's eldest daughter-in-law heard this, she hurriedly asked, not forgetting to wink at her parents-in-law.
This is a good opportunity. By selling her family, there will be one less person to eat for free, and there will be more food for the family. Jiye will also have money to marry a wife.
At this time, Old Lady Yang also pulled the old man's sleeve and kept winking at him. This was a great thing!
A calculating look flashed across Old Man Yang's cloudy eyes: "Miss, are you telling the truth?"
Qu Jingyao looked at the people on the ground nonchalantly, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
"I just heard it clearly outside. Aren't you and your family forcing your widow to marry someone else? You say it's a nice thing to marry someone, but isn't it all for the bride price?"
Her blunt words caused a flash of embarrassment on the faces of the Yang family members, and the eldest daughter-in-law stepped forward to smooth things over.
He complained to Qu Jingyao about all kinds of things, and did everything for the good of the Liang family.
"Why don't you get married when this is such a good thing?" Bai Guo glanced at her and retorted rudely.
"I......"
Qu Jingyao raised a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth and looked straight at Old Man Yang. It was not difficult to see that this old man was still the one in charge of this family.
"How about it? Have you decided? This is your only chance."
Old Master Yang looked at the eldest brother's family, and then listened to the old woman beside him mumbling.
He irritably shook off his arms, gritted his teeth and asked how much silver Qu Jingyao could give him, saying he would not sell it for less.
Although Liang was a woman, she had some skills after all, so it would not be a loss to buy her home to be a servant. As for her son, he was a strong laborer, so he could not do without money.
"Twenty taels, the most I'll give you. Even if this woman has some skills, I can tell from her expression that she needs to take care of herself after she's bought back. As for the young man, although he's a laborer, he's too thin."
After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Old Man Yang and his wife hurriedly explained that Liang looked like she was sick and just had a bad complexion.
She is in good health because of her hard work. She does all the heavy work at home. She is like a beast.
When Liang heard what her parents-in-law said, she suddenly sneered in despair. "Beast! She works so hard in this family, but in their eyes she is just a beast?"
"Hehe...Miss, if you want to buy me and my son, we are willing to sell them, but we can't give them all the money we earn."
Liang Shi was like a madman, recounting how she had been exploited by the Yang family for so many years. The brick and tile yard in front of her was earned by her embroidery. She did not owe anyone in the Yang family, but rather the Yang family owed her.
"So we can't give them all the money."
Qu Jingyao admired the Liang family in front of her. She raised the corners of her lips and looked at Old Man Yang with cold eyes, asking him if he didn't make a decision, then she would no longer deal with this business.
The servants trained in the pawnshops outside are no more than this.
After saying that, Qu Jingyao turned around and walked out of the yard. Baiguo was behind her calling out to the two sisters. Since their master had left, they hurried to follow.
Although the Xiuchun sisters were reluctant, they had no choice but to run to Qu Jingyao with red eyes, kneel down and kowtow to beg her.
"Please, Master, save my mother and the others. If I and my sisters leave, my mother and the others will really have no way to survive."
When Mrs. Yang and her daughter-in-law saw Qu Jingyao turning around and about to leave, they hurriedly pulled Old Man Yang to persuade him, and the eldest son beside them also joined the persuasion team.
"Dad, since my sister-in-law's heart is not in our Yang family anymore, let's sell it."
"Wait a minute, young lady. We can sell them, but we agreed on twenty taels. We won't say anything. Just consider it a favor, young lady. But the twenty taels of silver must be given to our Yang family."
Old Man Yang's words made Liang laugh bitterly. This family was really like that, trying to squeeze out every last bit of value from them.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Qu Jingyao ignored Old Man Yang and turned around to ask Liang directly what she meant.
Liang shed tears in despair, and finally nodded in agreement helplessly.
“But I have a condition. When my husband was alive, the money I borrowed for medical treatment has not been repaid yet, since our family has not been divided.
Now I am going to be sold again, so the Yang family must pay back the money, otherwise I would rather pretend to die here than be sold or marry."
Liang's words startled Old Man Yang, as he remembered that the second branch had indeed borrowed money from the villagers before.
He looked at Liang with gloomy eyes, and seeing her stubborn and determined eyes, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Master, please only give the Yang family eighteen taels of silver. I want my son to return the remaining two taels to the village head. Is that okay?"
Qu Jingyao nodded when she heard her words and gestured to Baiguo to give her two taels of silver.
Liang called on her son to take the two taels of silver and return it to the head of the village, and told him to kowtow to him twice to thank him for his help to her family.
"Mom, I'll remember this. Please wait for me and I'll be back soon." Yang Jishan quickly got up, squeezed through the crowd, and ran out of the yard.
At this time, everyone in the yard shed tears for Liang, and they all begged Qu Jingyao to treat Liang and her son well, as their family had suffered too much.
Bai Guo glanced at everyone and said:
"My master is kindhearted, otherwise she wouldn't have gone through this today. As long as the Liang family and their children remain loyal to the master, he will surely keep them safe for the rest of their lives."
