Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law Chapter 59: Selling a Daughter, Interception

Hearing her uncle’s refusal, Han Anniang’s sowhat clenched heart finally relaxed.

Seeing Chen Mo’s icy gaze, Liu Shu lowered his head in embarrassnt and quickly said, "Brother Mo, you are right, I was inconsiderate. Sorry for disturbing you. Min’Er, let’s go."

"You haven’t eaten yet, why don’t you stay for lunch?" Han Anniang said.

"Thank you, Lady Han, but there’s no need." Liu Shu forced a smile and left with Song Min.

After leaving the Chen Family.

Liu Shu shook off Song Min’s hand, noticing she was still chewing on her at, and frowned, "You’re useless, all you do is eat."

The reason he brought Song Min to the Chen Family for marriage wasn’t out of ignorance.

Primarily, the Song Family and the Chen Family had no relations, but seeing Chen Mo bring food twice, he assud Chen Mo had set his sights on Song Min, which led to today’s actions.

Song Min’s eyes filled with tears, undecided whether to swallow the at in her mouth or spit it out.

...

The Chen Family.

After seeing Liu Shu leave, Zhang River muttered, "Liu Shu is really bold, thinking he could take advantage of Brother Mo."

Chen Mo frowned and said, "You ntioned earlier that Liu Shu was hanging out with the village ruffians."

"Yes." Zhang River nodded, "Recently, over the past half month, Liu Shu has been mingling with Tree Root from the village and Qiao Pizi from the neighboring village. All the grain you had deliver got wasted by them."

Chen Mo furrowed his brow tightly. He was aware of Liu Shu’s character, but since Liu Shu was the Song family’s son-in-law and Song Min’s biological father, it wasn’t his place as an outsider to interfere in others’ family matters.

He just hadn’t expected that a lazy man like him was mingling with those ruffians.

"Shui, keep an eye on Liu Shu for these days, and especially on Song Min." As he said this, Chen Mo thought of sothing and added, "Have your wife keep an eye out too; she probably knows more about the big and small affairs in the village than you do."

"Don’t worry, Brother Mo, leave it to ." Zhang River patted his chest and assured.

...

Evening.

Han Anniang lay in Chen Mo’s arms, her soft body nestled against him as her slender fingers drew circles on his chest.

Recalling the earlier scenes, Han Anniang’s cheeks subtly reddened.

Chen Mo gently rubbed Han Anniang’s face with his fingertip. Her skin indeed looked better; the freckles on her cheeks had disappeared, leaving her face white and clean.

He turned Han Anniang’s face to look into her eyes and smiled, "What’s gotten into Sister-in-law tonight? You seem especially..."

Han Anniang glanced at her man with her almond-shaped eyes and pressed her face against his chest, saying, "I just feel that all this feels so dreamlike."

She hadn’t been married long when her husband and mother-in-law passed away. Life seed destined to fall into hardship, yet her uncle rose powerfully, becoming a well-respected Martial Artist, admired by the entire village, like the main character in those storybooks.

The key was, her uncle treated her so well.

But the better he treated her, the more Han Anniang felt gain and loss, thinking she wasn’t worthy of him.

So she tried to make up for it in other ways.

"Sister-in-law, you’re overthinking things again." Chen Mo kissed Han Anniang’s forehead, telling her not to worry.

Han Anniang rolled her eyes with a hint of playfulness and said, "Uncle is already an adult, he ought to marry."

"I just want to marry Sister-in-law." Chen Mo blinked.

"No way, I am still your sister-in-law. Uncle, you’re bound for greatness, your wife should be a noble lady. When you marry, if you still don’t despise , I can be your concubine."

As she whispered the last sentence like a mosquito’s buzz, her face turned beet red, almost dripping with blush.

"But in my eyes, Sister-in-law is in no way inferior to those noble ladies, far better, in fact." Chen Mo said.

Seeing Chen Mo still holding her tightly, she blushed with shyness and said in a soft, sticky voice, "Uncle, I an it."

"Sister-in-law, I an it too."

"Oh my."

The couple began to play around in the bed. Just as they were about to embark on another round, Han Anniang tossed the quilt aside, revealing her alluring figure, "Uncle, you haven’t taught the five words tonight."

"Sister-in-law, I’ll teach you more words today, in fact, a verse."

"What is it?"

"The spring night is bitter and short, waking up late leaves the king neglecting morning court."

"Mmm..."

...

anwhile, at the Song family.

"See, I told you, Brother Mo already has such a beautiful woman like Lady Han, why would he be interested in your daughter?" Qiao Pizi from the neighboring village chuckled.

"Exactly, exactly." Tree Root from the sa village agreed.

Listening to their mockery, Liu Shu felt a surge of irritation but had already devised a plan in his mind.

One day later.

A rare sunny day arrived.

Liu Shu dressed Song Min up nicely and said, "Min’Er, how about your dad takes you into the city for fun today?"

"Dad, I... I don’t want to go." Song Min wasn’t stupid; she vaguely guessed what this trip to the city was about. She rembered overhearing her dad’s conversation with those two uncles not long ago.

"Why don’t you want to go? Didn’t you always say you wanted to visit the city?" Liu Shu asked.

"But I heard that going into the city requires a fee, and I want to save... money for dad." Song Min said softly.

"Don’t worry, little girl, your dad can manage this amount of money."

"Dad, but I still... don’t want to go."

"Huh? You’re being disobedient again, now let’s go."

...

The Chen Family.

Just after having breakfast, Zhang River rushed over to Chen Mo with an urgent expression, "Brother Mo, Liu Shu took Song Min out of the village, and it looks like they’re heading into the city."

"Into the city?" Chen Mo was stunned. Entering the city required a fee. If Liu Shu went alone, it was understandable since he might need to buy grain or sothing, but taking Song Min into the city puzzled him.

Taking an extra person ant paying an additional fee, and the Song family wasn’t wealthy enough to afford taking Song Min into the city for fun. Bringing a little girl to the city was inherently troubleso, and for a lazy man like Liu Shu to do such a thing ant there must be a compelling reason for him to take Song Min into the city.

Then Zhang River said, "Brother Mo, my wife heard that Qiao Pizi from the neighboring village seems to be involved in human trafficking. People say the orphaned girl left at his uncle’s house was sold to the Purple Gold Tower.

If Liu Shu is hanging out with Qiao Pizi and them, could it be...

He didn’t finish the last sentence.

After all, Song Min was Liu Shu’s biological daughter, and his only daughter, so he shouldn’t be capable of sothing like this.

Chen Mo furrowed his brows, "Co, let’s catch up to them."

Chen Mo went back to grab his Tang Blade and had Han Anniang stay in the cellar, then set off with Zhang River in pursuit.

With their speed, they intercepted Liu Shu and the others halfway.
