Grandma Du immediately said to Xue Daxi, “Xue Daxi! Didn’t you want to separate from Shanqiang and leave this house with Hongguo? Alright! Now that you’ve made things come to this point. If you continue to be lazy in this house, I won’t be holding back anymore! If you take Hongguo away, it must be the same as if you bought Hongguo from our house. If you don’t give us a thousand silver, we won’t let Hongguo go with you!’

A thousand silver?

Grandpa Du’s eyes immediately lit up. Why didn’t he think of that? His wife was still the smartest woman in the world!

He Erniu’s eyes lit up as if the bad ways were going to come to an end.

Only Du Shanqiang said anxiously,” Mother, aren’t you forcing her to die? Where will she get all that money from? She only had a few dozen coins on her before. The rest of the money was for you to keep. You even used that money to buy a concubine. She doesn’t have much left!”

“Shut up!” Grandma Du immediately shouted. “Even if she doesn’t have enough, won’t her family have enough? Doesn’t she know how to borrow from her family? Since she treasures Hongguo so much and said that Hongguo was her life, wouldn’t she agree that Hongguo is worth at least a thousand silver?”

As she spoke, Grandma Du put on a kind expression and said to Du Hongguo, “Hongguo, look at your mother. She’s not even willing to borrow a thousand silver from her family. It’s obvious that she doesn’t really treasure you as her only daughter. I’ll be honest with you. She can’t give birth to another child and has placed all her hopes on you. If she can still give birth, you would mean nothing to her.”

This old lady was obviously trying to sow discord.

However, Du Hongguo didn’t fall for her tricks. Because she was in complete despair, she didn’t ca_re about anything and scolded Grandma Du, “You smelly old woman, stop trying to sow discord between my mother and me! You can marry me off and sell me. When the time comes, I’ll go beg my real grandfather to bring me back. 1 know that they will definitely redeem me. I’d rather they pay someone else a high price to redeem me than give you the money!’

This was the first time Du Hongguo had the guts to scold Grandma Du, and her words were so strong that Grandma Du almost fainted.

Du Hongguo kept going, “They’ve already told us that they don’t mind us returning home. They definitely won’t mind having me, who was married or sold off, in their house. I’d rather piss you guys off than help you!’

“You, you, you…” Grandma Du was furious.

Grandpa Du’s eyes started to twitch.

Du Shanqiang was absolutely baffled. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that his daughter had such a sharp tongue and dared to speak so loudly.

“Good job.” Xue Daxi was extremely gratified, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt that she hadn’t doted on his daughter for nothing.

“Mother, let’s go back to our room and continue sleeping!” This was the first time Hongguo was actively rebelling.

“You sick, pathetic child!” Grandma Du became even angrier. She scolded the brat before she started to panic. “Honey, what should we do? How will we sell that brat off? No matter if we marry or sell her, we won’t be able to get that much money. I won’t accept it if someone else gets rich off our hard word!”

“That girl is really…” Grandpa Du didn’t expect his granddaughter to say such a thing. “Since she said so, I’m sure Daxi would be willing to do the same. Usually, Daxi doesn’t want to trouble her family, so why wouldn’t the Xue family be willing to help out? They would definitely rather buy Hongguo back from others at a higher price than us. They just don’t want anything to do with us. In any case, we have no other way to have an advantage..”
