Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 58

She stood by the door and listened first.

Only the voice of the housekeeper came, “You know that my young master is already twenty-six, and your daughter is only twelve years old. She had not yet reached the age of marriage but he is not married.”

What? The man was more than 26 years old and wasn’t married. How old was Ya’er? Ning Qing felt that she couldn’t hear the first sentence.

Aunt Daqiang and Uncle Daqiang didn’t make a sound. Ning Qing stood outside without knowing what they looked like now.

The man continued, “My young master is naturally irritable, with a rough temperament and he does lose money when he drinks and gambles. This is my young master’s sincerity. He said that since he was going to marry, he must inform you of his shortcomings in advance so that you would not regret it later.”

What did this mean? Did it mean as if asking Ya’er to be prepared? His young master was proficient in eating, drinking, and gambling, and had a rough temperament. The meaning of rough temperament meant that he would hit people. How could a girl marry such a person? They would’ve already known that he was a scum. No wonder he was not married.

Ya’er’s father and mother took a deep breath.

The man said again, “If the marriage is settled, your daughter will be a member of the Yang family after marrying. From then on, her life and death will have nothing to do with the Fang family.”

The man took out a bag of silver and placed it in front of the parents.

“What do you mean by this? Wouldn’t this marriage take place according to three letters and six etiquette?” Aunt Daqiang asked timidly.

“Yes, my old lady said that once you two agree and accept the money, then take Ya’er away. After which only if the Yang family agreed would Ya’er be allowed to come back to visit the two.”

Uncle Daqiang had not spoken. Yet suddenly a voice came from outside, “Which family are you looking for? We are not selling daughters! Why don’t we even marry according to the basic three letters and six etiquettes? You people are so domineering.”

Ning Qing heard Aunt Daqiang sobbing in a low voice, “Housekeeper, take her away, otherwise she will starve to death.”

“We won’t marry Ya’er off. Who is this man? This is a scumbag! We won’t let Ya’er jump in the fire pit. We are a big family. We handled whatever fell over our head. We wouldn’t do this just for food and clothing,” Uncle Daqiang roared, but his voice seemed so weak.

There was also Yaer’s voice with a clear cry, “Dad, I will get married. Keep this money, and use it for medical treatment. You can work hard once you get well and our family will not be hungry.”

Zhu Zi asked carefully, “Didn’t sister Ning Qing give us money last time? Why should we sell my sister?”

Aunt Daqiang said, “That money is going to be paid back. It’s not easy for sister Ning Qing. We borrowed the money to help us through the difficulties, so we must keep the promise and return it. We have already done this and can’t turn back “

Ning Qing heard Xiao Gen crying, “Don’t sell my sister. We will eat less. Mom ~~ please, don’t sell my sister.”

“I’m sorry, Mom is useless. I can’t feed you. I can only wrong your sister. If you want to blame it, blame your mother!”

Zhi Zhu and Xiao Gen cried loudly.

Uncle Daqiang blamed himself, “No, blame me, blame me, why didn’t I die that time? What’s the use of me living like this?”

Ning Qing couldn’t hear it anymore. She walked inside the house, grabbed the bag of silver on the table, and threw it to the man.

“We won’t sell Ya’er, leave.”

Then she said to Aunt Daqiang, “I will buy Ya’er. I will pay double the amount this person paid.”

Ning Qing said this and the crying people in the room were stunned.

“Why? You don’t believe it? Should I go back to the house and sign it on a paper?”

“Ning Qing girl, we can’t owe you anymore. We owe you last time.”

“I am not letting you owe me. You just heard me now, she won’t be a part of your good family. There is nothing cheaper in the world than this.”

Hearing this, the man looked at Ning Qing meaningfully.

“So, I plan to make you write a sale deed to me. She will be mine from now on. Her food and clothing would be arranged by me in the future. It has nothing to do with your family. When she reaches the age of marriage, I will arrange a family for her. Save the idea of ​​always selling the child.”

Because Aunt Daqiang insisted on marrying the child even after hearing the conditions set by the Yang family, Ning Qing felt unhappy in her heart. Although it was only because of their inability to live, she wasn’t happy.

“Ya’er, would you like it?” She suppressed her anger and gently asked Ya’er who was at a loss.

Ya’er nodded quickly, as if afraid of Ning Qing would change her mind. Her eyes were full of uneasiness, “Sister Ning Qing , you buy me. I don’t want to get married.”

Looking at the poor Ya’er, Ning Qing felt quite sad, “Well, you are obedient. I won’t let you marry some crooked man.”

Ning Qing looked at the man again and yelled, “You haven’t gone yet? Ya’er won’t marry. Go back and tell your young master and old lady, that this child has already been sold to me. Don’t come again.”

Yang Junhan looked at the fierce woman in front of him. She seemed to have helped a lot and saved him. He was a bit dissatisfied at first because last time she beat him and this time she beat him again. Although he was misunderstood twice, he thought that this woman was essentially a hot natured person. If someone didn’t agree to her, she would start beating him. She appeared dangerous.

She was very unfriendly to him. Did this woman already know his identity?

Forget it, everything was solved. If this family insisted on selling their daughter then he had to buy her. He could see that this family was living a hard life, so sooner or later, they would sell her to others. So it was better for him to buy her.

He was worried about which person would buy this child. He didn’t know if there were any place for her in the kitchen. If not, where could he put her? The thing was that his mother always kept an eye on him, making him very embarrassed.

It was good that the woman suddenly rushed out, brought Ya’er, and helped him solve the problem.

Yang Junhan was very satisfied with this ending.

Thinking like this, his dissatisfaction died down. He didn’t complain about the woman being unreasonable towards him, he got up and said goodbye.

After the man left, Ning Qing went back to the house to write a sale deed and also paid the silver. She told Aunt Daqiang that Ya’er could still live her original life. When Ning Qing’s work would start and she would need manpower she would call Ya’er to come over to the yard to help her.

Although she lost another huge sum of money, Ning Qing thought it was worth it. Otherwise she would feel uneasy all her life.

Later, she also thought that the man’s words that day were a bit strange. Generally speaking, people tell their strengths and avoid shortcomings, while trying their best to fix the match for marriage. But the man said his master’s shortcomings. She was puzzled. However, the matter had been resolved.
