Chapter 7 - 007

"I...I will go back with you!"
Yan Jinsu is not foolish; after understanding Zhang Shanni's eighteen years of life experience, she knew that staying would only be worse!
Although it sounds unpleasant to be said as a wife bought for 300 coins, she was afraid that if she really stayed at Uncle Grandpa's house, her unscrupulous parents might sell her again!
Besides, in her era, 300 coins wouldn't be enough for a decent meal, but in this backward, fictional era, even the monthly salary of national leaders probably wasn't 300 coins!
Previously by the lake, she clearly heard many old ladies and young wives saying that marrying a wife usually costs only ten to twenty big silver!
Her 300 coins could splendidly marry ten daughters-in-law!
What's more, she just heard his conversation with Uncle Grandpa, he came back this time specifically to resolve the marriage issue, as he was now twenty-eight, an age where typically, in rural areas, children would already be helping with household tasks.
The most important thing was that she, after all, was bought by him for 300 big silver; it wouldn't make sense to resolve everything and then let him go back home with only a 'blessing.'
To eliminate the worries of her predecessor, she might as well resign to her fate and go back with him! This young man might look dark to her [Yan Jinsu has yet to see the original Zhang Shanni's true appearance, contributing to her perception of darkness], but at least he is upright!
He even feels responsible for her just because he saved her from the water; how incredibly kind-hearted!
