This voice, ngyu had heard for over a decade in her past life. Every ti she heard it, she was either beaten or scolded, or even punished by being starved. Therefore, upon hearing this voice, ngyu felt a fear emanating from the depths of her heart.
Although a lifeti had passed, hearing this sa voice again, ngyu still felt a sense of fear in her heart.
Previously, she had always wanted to ask her face to face – even if she wasn’t her biological mother, she was soone she had lived with for over a decade.
She had always tried hard to please her, to make herself more “capable”, hoping she would love her as she loved Huaiyu.
It was fine if she didn’t love her, but why destroy her?
But now, such words, she couldn’t ask anymore. Because she felt that there was no need to ask anymore.
Seeing ngyu’s trembling body, Gu Dongxing pitied her even more: What kind of abuse had she undergone that rely hearing a voice would trigger such a conditioned reflex?
He quickly extended his warm, large hand and grabbed ngyu’s small hand.
The warmth transmitted from Gu Dongxing’s hand gradually stabilized ngyu’s emotions.
Everything from her past life had passed. This lifeti, Li Chunhua could no longer hurt her!
On the contrary, this lifeti, she wanted her to repay the debts she owed!
Inside, ngyu’s biological mother Leng Xiangyu raised an eyebrow: “Be reasonable? If I wasn’t being reasonable, would I even co to find you? My daughter was sold by soone, I could have just taken this to court.”
Li Chunhua choked, what, to court?
She cowered, if this really went to court, she was undoubtedly trafficking humans.
Jiang Haidong rolled his eyes and hurriedly said: “We are common folk, why talk of court? Let’s discuss this nicely, you want your daughter back, it’s not impossible, but—”
Li Chunhua quickly added: “But, I’ve raised your daughter for sixteen years, you should give us so compensation.”
Everyone was stunned, what did she an by this? Asking for money?
“You’ve separated mother and daughter for sixteen years, and you still want money?”
“Well, it takes two to tango, you can’t just bla us. If your husband hadn’t sold her, we couldn’t have bought your daughter, right?” said Jiang Haidong.
“You, how much compensation do you want?” Leng Xiangyu asked through gritted teeth.
“Uh, two—” Jiang Haidong intended to say two thousand, because the best scenario for keeping ngyu was receiving a dowry, and typically the dowry for marrying off a daughter then would be two hundred at most; he was asking for ten tis the dowry amount, which also seed fair.
But Li Chunhua interjected: “Twenty thousand yuan!”
A collective gasp of shock was heard: “Gasp—”
Twenty thousand yuan!
This was the year 1980 after all, an era where millionaires were rare, and she was asking for two millionaires right off the bat!
Listening to Li Chunhua’s outrageous demand, ngyu really wanted to burst in and say she started working at three years old, took on the household chores by five, and even her schooling was funded by money she earned from collecting and selling scraps.
But her hand was held by Gu Dongxing, knowing that now was not the ti for her to go in.
Leng Xiangyu said coldly: “Haha, twenty thousand yuan? You’re actually asking for twenty thousand yuan?
Then co calculate for , how my daughter has been eating, dressing, using things, studying over the years, co calculate, how did you co up with this twenty thousand yuan?”
In her heart, Li Chunhua was furious, how dare she imply her daughter wasn’t worth the money!
But to calculate the cost of twenty thousand yuan, how could she possibly calculate that?
She looked towards Jiang Haidong.
After his wife shouted twenty thousand, Jiang Haidong also frowned. His brother’s wife had said this woman seed very wealthy, could it be, all show and no substance?
Would a wealthy person be this stingy?
