Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

The son's figure had just disappeared when the old woman immediately changed her expression and scolded the woman: "Eating well and living well in our family, don't be ungrateful. In the future, if I see you speaking nonsense in front of my son again, be careful or you'll be divorced."

Upon hearing this, the woman widened her eyes in disbelief: "Mother-in-law, what did I say?"

Old woman: "If you want to stay in our house, you can't say anything."

The woman found it incomprehensible and couldn't help but retort: "If one day you sell me, can't I even speak up?"

"What nonsense are you saying?"

"Isn't it true? You could even sell your own daughter heartlessly, what am I, as your daughter-in-law, worth?"

"You...!" The old woman was almost angered to death, and after a while, said peevishly: "Don't forget, without selling her, what would your family eat? What would you drink? That's Silver, isn't it all going into your family's pockets? You are benefiting from it, yet blame me for being heartless as a mother-in-law? You've taken all the advantages."

Indeed, the woman stayed out all day and did no work, while her husband and son attended Private School, and the Private School fees were very expensive. The average family couldn't afford it, let alone having two people from their family attending.

Usually lazy and self-indulgent, the woman was momentarily speechless upon hearing this: "...!"

It's often said that a scholar is useless, and indeed it is true. Her husband does nothing but read books daily, what else can a woman like her do? She can only rely on Madam Wang to give her some household expenses for daily living.

The woman was quite odd, eating and drinking others' bounty yet looking down on others' livelihood.

At that moment, the man brought in two thug-like men from outside.

The two thugs entered, glanced around, and then fixed their gaze on the woman.

The woman became flustered: "Don't look at me, it's not me."

Seeing this, the man quickly moved forward and blocked the thugs: "Brothers, this is my wife, the one to be sold is over there!" As he spoke, he pointed to Madam Wang, who was slumped drunk on the table.

The old woman also greeted with a smile: "Yes, brothers, my daughter is here!"

Madam Wang hadn't tidied herself for the past days, looking rather unkempt, and she lay face down on the table, making it impossible to discern her features.

The two men furrowed their brows: "At Qinger Building, we're not just taking in any stray cats or dogs."

Upon hearing this, the man panicked: "The Procuress already agreed with me, and we've settled the price. How can you go back on it?"

The two men exchanged a glance: "We have to check the goods, after all."

The man: "Ah, ah, ah! Certainly, certainly."

Thus, the old woman turned Madam Wang's face over for the two men to inspect.

"Brothers, take a look, my daughter still has some good looks."

The two men glanced over; sure enough, she was a little beauty.

"Mm, the looks are alright, okay, we'll take her back. Whoever's collecting the money and handling procedures, come along then."

"Ah, ah! We'll both go." The old woman pulled her son, smiling obsequiously.

The two men glanced at them: "Fine."

In their hearts, they were muttering: What kind of people are these? Selling their own daughter together with the son, simply scum. However, they wouldn't dare disrupt the Procuress's business.

Soon, they sent Madam Wang to Qinger Building. After the Old Madam and her son collected five hundred taels of silver, they vanished in the Capital, and no one knew where they went.
