The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Gu Youyou had already awoken, yet as Uncle Three carried her on his back in a flight for life, she still dared not reveal her consciousness.

The situation was too peculiar; if Uncle Three had produced a pile of broken silver, she might have guessed it was the result of his years of scrimping and saving.

Although the members of the Gu Family were all cunning, they were also quite diligent and frugal. It wouldn’t be surprising if they really had saved up a hundred or two hundred taels of silver. But what he held was untouched silver—where in such a small place could someone have two hundred taels in whole pieces? Don’t tell me he made a special trip to the town’s bank to exchange it—that would be a ghost of a chance to believe.

Heh, my second uncle and his wife selling me to a human trafficker for silver is something they would do, but what about Uncle Three?

Why would he do that?

So much money, clearly it could not be his own—had he found a bigger buyer to exchange me for even more money?

Uncle Three, carrying Gu Youyou, had run a good distance, panting heavily. Seeing that they were already far from those three men, he stopped and threw Gu Youyou onto the ground.

Gu Youyou kept her eyes shut, motionless.
