Chapter 577: Scarred (2)_1
"I can remember, I really can. Next time I will surely remember," Xun Hui hurriedly swore, "If I forget again... ah..." Before she could finish, she screamed in pain.
Yang Ruxin put away the dagger and took out a bottle. She sprinkled the medicinal powder inside onto the wound on Xun Hui’s hand: "This wound will scar. Whenever something happens, look at this scar and you’ll know what to do... My patience is limited; don’t exhaust it..."
Xun Hui’s eyes were originally filled with tears of sorrow—her daughter had actually stabbed her. But now, tears flowed from the searing pain. The wound itself wasn’t that painful, a mere bleeding scratch, something that happened often. However, after the powder was applied, the bleeding stopped, but the pain was excruciating.
"Mother, you’re the type who forgets the pain once the wound heals," Yang Ruxin was not a bit tender, "So now I’ve given you a scar to serve as a reminder. Look at it when you forget, otherwise, I really worry you might end up being sold and still help your buyer count the money."
"Fine..." Although Xun Hui was crying and sniffling, she nodded her head, but still managed to force a smile, "I’m just a widow now, who would sell me?"
"Don’t you know that wives are in demand in the big mountains?" Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows, "A widow like you who has borne children is quite valuable. I’ve heard that those with good looks can sell for up to ten pieces of silver, and even the less attractive ones can fetch eight. Shared among several brothers, they’ll want you for bearing children..." She assessed Xun Hui up and down, "You’re pretty, and have a good figure, I guess ten pieces of silver wouldn’t be a problem..."
Xun Hui took a step back: "Xinxin, you..." Her complexion turned somewhat pale, even her lips began to tremble.
"I’m not trying to scare you, do you think those people in the old house never thought of it?" Yang Ruxin sneered, "Last time you fainted, Feng Caie almost sold me to the brothel. Later, I heard them discussing that if you woke up, they would sell you and us sisters into the mountains... Do you think I’m desperately trying to sever ties with the Yang Family for no reason? Because I don’t want to be sold, do you understand?"
