Chapter 196 Lard has blinded your heart!
After hearing this, Granny Sun quickly put down the basin in her hand, stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Hey, hey, isn't this the eldest daughter-in-law? Look, what's the matter? Don't look at this little girl, Daya, who looks skinny, but she's very capable. I treat her like a cow at home. She doesn't eat much, but she still has to do a lot of work."
Jiang Yuwei was so angry when she heard this. This damn old woman really treated her own granddaughter like a slave. She didn't even give Daya enough food and just made her work.
Jiang Yuwei thought so and pushed Ning Daya in front of Grandma Sun viciously.
"I dare not let this little ancestor starve. If something bad happens to him in my house, I can't bear the responsibility. I think you should pay me back honestly. I definitely don't want this person anymore."
Ning Daya was confused when she heard Jiang Yuwei's words. Didn't Sister Yuwei tell her last night that she would come to buy her with Grandma Sun? Why didn't she want her now? It was as if she had completely changed into a different person. The more Ning Daya thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her eyes suddenly turned red. She grabbed Jiang Yuwei's hand in disbelief and said anxiously:
"Sister Yuwei, what's wrong with you? Are you possessed by a ghost? Who are you? Get off my sister Yuwei."
Jiang Yuwei almost couldn't help laughing after hearing what Ning Daya said. She coughed a few times, shook Ning Daya's hand violently, turned her face away and said coldly:
"Grandma Sun, look at your granddaughter. How can she be so shameless? I have a bad temper. Don't even think about relying on me. I won't tolerate your bad habits!"
After hearing this, Granny Sun stepped forward and twisted Ning Daya's ear, scolding:
"You little bitch, I told you not to listen, I told you not to work, I told you to live a good life, and now you want to come back and torture an old woman like me!"
Ning Daya was pinched on the ear by Grandma Sun, and she cried out in pain:
“Ahhh, it hurts, grandma, please stop hitting me, ahhh…”
Jiang Yuwei saw this and shouted:
"Mrs. Sun, what do you mean by this? If you want to teach the child a lesson, wait until I'm gone. You can beat and scold him at home as you please. Now I'm standing in your yard. If you beat and scold the child in front of me, won't the villagers talk about me behind my back as a black-hearted person? I think you are full of bad intentions!"
Jiang Yuwei went up and slapped Grandma Sun's hand away, and spat at her angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense to me. I'm not taking this person back today. She's not worth two taels of silver. You two have teamed up to cheat me. I won't let this go. Pay me back quickly. If you don't, I won't leave!"
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei took a bench from the yard and sat down directly in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Granny Sun said hurriedly:
"No, I've spent all my money. How about you take her back with you? I'll discipline her and send her back to you. Is that okay? Just feed her once a day to keep her alive, and let her do all the work. She's really capable of working."
As she spoke, Granny Sun kicked Ning Daya on the leg and cursed:
"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Why don't you ask your sister Yuwei to take you back?"
Ning Daya was kicked by Grandma Sun unexpectedly in the leg pit. She knelt in front of Jiang Yuwei and sobbed with tears in her eyes:
"Sister Yuwei, what's wrong with you? Take me back."
Jiang Yuwei stood up suddenly when she saw this.
"Mrs. Sun, you are such a wicked person. How could you make her kneel before me? We are of the same generation. You are shortening my life! Stop talking nonsense. You have to pay back the money no matter what you say today. If you can't do that, let's go find the head of the village to argue!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun said hurriedly:
"No, no, don't look for the head of the village. We don't need to bother the head of the village all the time about our two families' affairs. How about this? I'll give you a lower price. How about one tael of silver a year?"
Jiang Yuwei stood up from the bench when she heard this.
"You are crazy, grandma Sun! Your granddaughter is just a little girl, and you dare to ask me for one tael of silver a year? I can't even spend that much money to hire farmhands like Tiezhu and Ningwu!"
When Mrs. Sun heard this, her face immediately turned red. It really didn't cost much to hire someone to do work in the countryside, not to mention that Ning Daya was just a maid.
The more Mrs. Sun thought about it, the angrier she became. She twisted Ning Daya's arm fiercely and cursed:
"You're such a loser, I've been feeding you for nothing. You're not even worth one ounce of silver a year, and you gave birth to a girl for nothing! If you were a boy, you could do more manual labor, and you wouldn't have to be sent back like this today!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Sun pinched her waist and said with a scoundrel look on her face:
"I don't care that you insisted on taking this person away, but now you blame me. Even if you have to work less, you have to bear it!"
Seeing that Granny Sun was so unreasonable, Jiang Yuwei also spoke up:
"If you say so, I will never give you money again. I will continue to use this man. Let's see who can be tougher!"
Having said that, Jiang Yuwei grabbed Ning Daya's arm and walked out of the yard.
Seeing this, Granny Sun said anxiously:
"Hey, no, no, come back and we'll discuss this."
Then he pulled Jiang Yuwei back.
"Why do you have such a bad temper, young man? Why don't you just reduce the wages of this damn girl as you said, and take her back with you to work. This damn girl is growing up, and she will be able to do more work in the future. If you don't use her now, won't you suffer a loss?"
Jiang Yuwei glanced at Granny Sun and said impatiently:
"Pah, I'm already suffering enough. We live in the same village, and I don't want to waste my time on you. How about this, you just sell Ning Daya to me, and I can give you a little more money at once. I don't mind suffering a little loss!"
When Granny Sun heard this, her eyes lit up immediately and she hurriedly pulled Jiang Yuwei's hand and asked her to sit down.
"Big brother's wife, if you say so, we can discuss it properly. I wonder how much money you want to spend to buy Daya?"
Jiang Yuwei stretched out two fingers and gestured to Grandma Sun.
Seeing this, Mrs. Sun smiled flatteringly and said:
"Twenty taels? That much?!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei's eyes widened and she looked at Grandma Sun in shock and scolded:
"I think you are blinded by greed. You really dare to think that. Twenty taels? It's enough for our family to eat and wear for several years. I spend twenty taels to buy a girl from your family? I think you are really crazy. Forget it. It's a waste of breath for me to talk to you. I can't spend twenty taels to buy a strong man from a man!"
Jiang Yuwei stood up and walked out of the yard, saying as she walked:
"If you don't want to pay me back, that's fine. I'll go to the government and sue you, and have the officials come and take you to jail!"
When Granny Sun heard this, her face suddenly changed. She hurried forward and grabbed Jiang Yuwei's arm and said anxiously:
"I'm overthinking. My brain is broken. Please don't be offended. Let's sit down and talk. Let's sit down and talk!"
