Chapter 236 Mo Hong’s Family Sells Daughter and Gains an Uncle (4)_1
At the mention of a dim room in a brothel, Mo Hong’s face became extremely unsightly, but upon hearing the words "Forty taels of silver," a flicker of hesitation crossed her face.
"Mother, you can’t do this, you just can’t!" Mo Yonglu couldn’t bear it, and to everyone’s shock, he, a grown man, began to weep and clutch his head in anguish.
Mo Hong was torn by his crying and also lured by the forty taels of silver. With that silver, their family’s life could improve, and her Yongxi would be able to have a proper dowry, perhaps marrying into a better household.
As she wavered, Old Man Mo suddenly interjected, "Eight taels is enough, my family may be poor, but I will not send my daughter into the flames."
In the corner, Mo Yan heard this and curled her lip in disdain; she didn’t believe Old Man Mo was not greedy for silver. It was more likely that he feared losing face if his family produced a prostitute!
Once Old Man Mo had spoken, Mo Hong certainly dared not oppose him. Under the pleading eyes of Mo Yonglu and Mrs. Niu, she took the silver without hesitation.
Seeing Mo Hong take the silver, the two men behind her walked over to Mo Erni, and each man lifted her up, one on each side.
"Get away, don’t touch my Erni, all of you get away from me," Mrs. Niu screamed as if mad, rushing over only to be pushed away by one of the men.
Mo Yonglu also rushed over to stop them but was kicked away by another man, who seemed to be skilled in martial arts.
