Trantor: 549690339
“Old Lady Liu, Xiao Family’s wife is a piece of bad goods, you’re certainly going to make a loss if you buy her.” Aunt Zhang advised with good intentions, “You’d better not buy.”
Everyone chipped in joyously, relishing in the exchange of words.
Wushan Vige is secluded, and there aren’t much entertainment options, so when the vigers heard that the Xiao family was selling a person and saw Old Lady Liu heading this way, they all gathered excitedly, ready for a good show.
A few passersby vigers also stopped at the entrance, looking at Su Qingyue in the yard, their gazes full of disdain and contempt.
Someone spat a mouthful of saliva, “Why even sell such a person? She is a thief who steals money. Just burn her! It would save whoever buys her from getting robbed or cursed!”
“The Xiao family wouldn’t dare,” someone made a chilly remark, “if they really had the guts to burn her, wouldn’t that be a waste of sixteen taels of silver?”
“A regr, normal-looking wife costs thirty taels. But for such a disgusting, ugly, mute piece of goods, sixteen taels is not cheap either…”
Everyone was enjoying the conversation. Su Qingyue, who originally intended to leave, saw that the vigers had blocked the wicker gate of the yard, so she just waited on the side for them to disperse.
However, instead, the crowd was swelling, threeyers deep on the inside and out.
Without exception, these people were all sizing her up, spitting saliva and cursing. Su Qingyue understood that these people hadints against her.
Of course, it wasn’t her who provoked them. It must be that they hadints against the original owner of this body.
Seeing her own body being so thin and dark, hands full of callouses, and smelling bad. She must have been frequently doing hardbor and getting beaten. What kind of heinous crime did the original owner of this bodymit?
The look in these people’s eyes were not merely disdainful. They were repulsed by her.
Could it be that she is not only skinny and dark, but also extremely ugly?
She had never seen herself in a mirror. She reached up to touch her face only to feel…sores, pus, and pimples.
She thought, if one person despises her, it might be a misunderstanding. But if so many people have the same reaction… Recalling that her soul had just time-travelled into this body yesterday, just after the original owner had been beaten to death. It was likely that the original owner had made some serious mistake.
Anyway, she had no clear understanding of the situation, so she decided not to get involved.
Xiao Yuchuan suddenly felt very guilty when he saw everyone talking about his wife this way. Knowing his wife woulde back different, he shouldn’t have asked olddy Liu toe today, “Everyone, get out of my house!”
Zhao Shugen was displeased. “Chuan, these are our fellow vigers, why speak so aggressively?”
“Indeed. We are all vigers, who see each other all the time…” The crowd started chattering, all casting dissatisfied looks at Xiao Yuchuan.
Old Lady Liu gave Su Qingyue a thoughtful look. Originally, because of Su Qingyue’s unsightly appearance and her being mute, and since everyone knew that she steals, Old Lady Liu had no intention of buying her. Yet, seeing so many people scolding and belittling her, she was unexpectedly calm… just like the white cloud in the sky, incredibly pure. Anyway, she seemed veryposed, very calm, and very elegant.
Strange. She had seen the wife of the Xiao family before, but never thought she had good temperament.
Now, why did she think that although Su Qingyue was ugly, she was quite charming?
After thinking for a while, Old Lady Liu began to speak, “Chuan, don’t say that Old Lady Liu isn’t helping you. For a good piece of merchandise you might still squeeze out some silver, but for her… Let’s put it this way, I’m doing the Xiao Family a favor. I’ll offer three taels of silver.”
Among the onlookers, a man called Wang Adou was dissatisfied.. “Old Lady Liu, aren’t you being too dark-hearted? The Xiao’s bought her for sixteen taels, and you’re only offering three?”
