Chapter 119: Asking Her For Help?

Previously, when Madam Qian told him this, he didn’t feel that what she was doing was wrong.

However, now that he saw his son in this state, he felt he had made a huge mistake by allowing Madam Qian to do what she did!

When the villagers heard this, they all began whispering and gossiping.

!!

What? In addition to the betrothal gift of ten taels of silver, she also gave extra money to buy gifts and thank the matchmaker?

Didn’t Madam Qian say the other party was a daughter from her maiden family? To whom did she give the money to thank the matchmaker?

She had even emptied out her entire family’s fortune, so she must have given out a lot!

Wang Dashan took a step back and staggered, almost losing his balance.

“Brother…” Thankfully, Wang Xiaomei came in time to help him up and bring him back to his senses.

Wang Dashan quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and turned to look at Wang Dashi.

“Second Uncle, can you…”

Before he could finish speaking, a voice rang out from the crowd.

“The Second Son’s household doesn’t have any money!” It was Wang Dashi’s wife, Madam Zhao.

Madam Zhao hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and looked at Wang Laoshuan.

“Eldest Brother, you did not take care of Mother all these years. Mother ate and lived in the second son’s household, but we have never said anything.”

“But this matter was caused by you, the eldest son’s household. Moreover, it is a princely sum of ten taels of silver!”

“Let’s not talk about the fact that our second son’s household can’t even cough up these ten taels of silver. Even if we can, I won’t agree to fill this hole for your family!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Laoshuan could not lift his head.

Wang Dashi hurriedly looked at his wife.

“What are you saying?” he said angrily.

“I’m being serious!” Madam Zhao replied immediately.

“Everyone can see this with their own eyes. Even though Madam Qian has returned to the Qian family, given their moral integrity, what is the probability of getting the money back?”

“If she can’t get it back, their family can’t return the money. What will our family do if you lend the money and can’t get it back? “Madam Zhao glared at Wang Dashi angrily.

Seeing that Wang Dashi was about to speak, Madam Zhao continued, “Right now, is your niece more important or the three of us? Wang Dashi, you better think it through!”

Wang Dashi was stunned.

Following that, he became furious.

Just as he was about to reprimand his wife, Madam Zhao suddenly raised her voice.

“I’ll make it clear today. If you dare to take out the family’s money, we won’t stay here anymore!”

“Didn’t your Wang family already have one divorce today? Next, you can divorce me as well! Even if you don’t divorce me, I’ll also separate from you! I refuse… to lead this kind of life anymore!” After saying this, Madam Zhao turned around and left.

“Oh gosh! What a sin!” Old Grandma Wang quickly came back to her senses and started to wail while slapping her thigh.

Seeing that her second son was still standing in the same place in a daze, she quickly shouted to her second son, “Why are you still standing there? Go after your wife!”

Making Madam Qian divorce her eldest son was what Madam Qian deserved, but how could she let Madam Zhao divorce her second son as well?

Moreover, Madam Zhao was fairly respectful to her and was also diligent. If her second son were to divorce such a daughter-in-law, where else could her second son replace another one like her?

This matter in the eldest son’s family indeed had nothing to do with the second son’s household.

As a mother, if she didn’t handle it properly this time and offended the second son’s household, she might not have a good end in the future.

“Alright!” Wang Dashi quickly responded and went after Madam Zhao.

The gawking villagers were abuzz with excitement again.

Wang Dashan did not stop Wang Dashi from leaving.

This was because he could not refute his second aunt’s words.

However, now that his second uncle was gone, what should he do?

Wang Dashan’s gaze swept across the faces of the villagers one by one.

When their eyes met, most of the villagers quickly averted their eyes.

Even the Wang family themselves didn’t believe they could retrieve the money that had been given out, let alone outsiders like them.

Suddenly, Wang Dashan’s legs buckled, and he knelt down in front of the villagers.

Then, he solemnly kowtowed to the crowd twice.

“Uncles, aunts, and elders, I beg you to help our Wang family! I’m begging you!” Wang Dashan cried.

When Wang Xiaomei saw this, she quickly knelt down beside Wang Dashan as well and begged the villagers for help.

When they saw the two children kowtow, the villagers were somewhat moved.

However, no one stepped forward to help.

After all, the chances of not getting the money back were too high.

Furthermore, what the Wang family owed was ten taels of silver. Such a large sum of money could not be gathered so readily.

When she saw Wang Xiaomei continuously bowing her head to the ground, Big Girl Li couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

Madam Liu and Song Yun also turned their heads away.

This girl Wang Xiaomei was really too pitiful.

...

Qin Xiaoyao, however, didn’t move. She simply continued to look at the siblings kowtowing to the crowd. Her expression didn’t change either.

Looking at the situation, Wang Xiaomei would most likely have to go to the Zhang family.

In fact, she felt that Zhang Mazi wasn’t a bad person.

If Wang Xiaomei really went to the Zhang family, the situation might not be as bad as everyone thought.

Wang Laoshuan looked at his son and daughter, who were kowtowing non-stop and finally started weeping.

Tears streamed down his face as he became overwhelmed by remorse.

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it now…

Just as he was hesitating whether he should go over and beg the villagers with the two children, the village chief spoke.

“That’s enough.”

Upon hearing his words, the brother and sister stopped and looked at the village chief.

The village chief frowned and looked at the siblings.

...

“Since you can’t cough up the money, then let’s think of other ways.”

Zhang Mazi was stunned.

“What other way? Either you give me the girl today, or you return the money!” he immediately said.

The siblings might be pitiful, but he was even more pitiful!

The village chief shot Zhang Mazi a glance, and Zhang Mazi immediately shut up.

Following that, he turned his eyes to Qin Xiaoyao.

Then, he opened his mouth and said, “Eldest Son Song’s family.”

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned when she saw everyone looking at her.

“Yes, Village Chief?” Immediately, she replied politely to the village chief.

“You’ve seen the Wang family’s situation. Right now, in our village, the only one who has the ability to take out ten taels of silver to help these two siblings without landing the whole household in disarray is probably your family.”

Qin Xiaoyao frowned when she saw Wang Dashan and Wang Xiaomei looking at her.

Just as she was about to refuse, she heard the village chief speak again, “I won’t let you help for nothing, though.”

“If you are willing to take out ten taels of silver, Wang Xiaomei’s indenture will be handed over to you.”

“After that, if the Wang family can’t return you ten taels of silver and 100 copper coins as a token of appreciation within five days, then we’ll consider Wang Xiaomei sold to your family.”

Qin Xiaoyao was shocked when she heard his words.

Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t the only one who was shocked. The Wang family and the villagers were all equally shocked.

This… seemed to be a good way to deal with this matter.

The Song family had earned a lot of money and even bought a courtyard dwelling in town. They would definitely be able to fork out ten taels of silver.

Although they were going to move soon, the Song family had lived in Brook Falls Village for many years, and they knew this village inside out.

Furthermore, the address of their new home was not far away. It was in the nearby town.

Even if the Wang family couldn’t gather enough money to redeem her in five days, they would have the opportunity to do so in the future. Moreover, there was a high chance that the families would meet again in the future.

When Wang Xiaomei heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she turned to look at Qin Xiaoyao.

Thereafter, she crawled on her knees over to Qin Xiaoyao.

“I’m willing to go with Mrs. Song, whether as a slave or a maid! Mrs. Song, I beg you to help me!” After she finished speaking, she kowtowed to Qin Xiaoyao.
