Everyone gasped when they heard her words. They did not expect the Chief’s wife to be involved.
That woman must be crazy. What did An Jiuyue do to provoke her? Why does she have to sell her son?
“So it was Aunt Kang!”
An Jiuyue blinked at Aunt Wang as if she had just discovered this.
“Do you want me to call Aunt Kang over so you can discuss whose child to sell? There are so many children in this village. You can feel free to discuss this.
“I’m sure you’ve been discussing whose children to sell to help with your family’s expenses, right?”
An Jiuyue’s words were spot on in exposing her inner thoughts. She quickly denied it guiltily.
“You… No, no! Don’t spout nonsense! I’ve only chatted with Aunt Kang. I’m not selling anyone’s children!”
Her words left everyone around speechless.
It seems like these two women really dared to target the children in the village! How absurd!
They hated Aunt Kang immediately, and their impression of the Chief worsened.
As the most respected elder in their village, the Chief should be considerate and kind to everyone. How could he have a woman who schemed to sell other people’s children?
An old woman in her fifties walked over from afar and spoke faintly, “Aunt Wang, don’t talk about Aunt Kang anymore. I was just there and heard the Chief is divorcing his wife. It must be because of you, right?”
Aunt Wang was shocked. She wanted to make use of Aunt Kang, but…
How can this be? Isn’t Aunt Kang doing well? She keeps boasting about her high status in the family.
Why is the Chief divorcing her over such a small matter?
“No way, no way! I heard everything from Aunt Kang. She was the one who said it!”
She shook her head and continued muttering.
An Jiuyue did not look at Old An’s family anymore. She turned to look at Qian Jiyun.
“Alright, let’s go.” Qian Jiyun led her away.
The onlookers watched their backs before looking at Old An’s family.
Although they said Old An’s family only had themselves to blame, humans always sympathized with the weak. Old An’s family saw their child taken away today.
Moreover, An Da was injured and had four fingers cut off. His life was over.
Everyone found their family quite pitiful, so they did not say anything else. They turned around and left.
“What should we do? What should we do?”
Aunt Wang ignored them. She was still muttering and thinking about how to snatch her grandson back.
After a while, she turned to look at Old An and asked him for an idea.
“What should we do? They captured Heizhuang. What should we do?”
However, what ideas could he come up with? Ministry Councilor He was not someone he could afford to offend.
Although they were in An Clan Village, he had brought so many thugs and servants with him, and Old An could only be beaten up.
Now that they had left and returned to their territory, there was nothing more he could do unless he could find the 50 taels of silver!
