Chapter 383: Reporting to the Authorities
Lady Sun and the man exchanged a glance upon hearing that.
If they were sent to report to the authorities, they weren’t really afraid; Boss Tian would certainly find a way to get them out.
But being sold to a coal mine or taken to the mountains would mean true doom.
Lady Sun’s heart panicked, and she bit down hard, "Miss, I was momentarily blinded by greed! It’s all my fault! I’m willing to compensate! All my possessions and silver, amounting to one hundred taels, I will give to you, Miss. Please show mercy and let the two of us go, okay?"
"One hundred taels? Good——" a delighted voice chimed in.
Everyone turned to look at Wang Yonggui, who had just come to his senses and heard that Lady Sun was offering one hundred taels of silver. Without thinking, he wanted to agree.
He was slapped back into reality by Old Granny Zhang, "Shut your mouth! What do you know, thinking everything is alright? She was about to poison your entire family. If it weren’t for your sister guarding against this wretched woman, come tomorrow morning, our whole family would be meeting underground! It’s all the curse you brought back, you blind and heart-blind fool, you almost got us all killed! And you’re pleased just hearing about silver? Is silver your dear father?"
Wang Yonggui, dizzy from the slap, took a while to understand, then looked at Lady Sun disbelievingly.
"Impossible! How could Ahfu do this? She..." He tried to say something in her defense but stopped when he saw the man beside Lady Sun and remembered the scene before he was knocked out, touching the back of his head, a hand covered in blood.
His expression suddenly changed, "Lady Sun, you——"
Lady Sun knew that Wang Yonggui was now her only breakthrough, and quickly squeezed out two tears, "Sanlang, I know I was wrong! I don’t expect your forgiveness, I just beg you to let us off this time for old times’ sake, okay? All my possessions are one hundred taels, plus I have some jewelry and such that are worth some money too; I don’t want any of those anymore..."
