Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

Chapter 283 Selling Sister

Su Xia was shocked. She didn't expect Su Yan to go to this extent.

He quickly waved his hand to refuse.

Su Yan stuffed the things directly into her arms, "The exam is important now, don't worry about other things!"

Su Xia had no choice but to take over for Sun Mingzhe.

The two of them thanked him again.

In the end, Su Yan had to remind the two of them to line up before Sun Mingzhe left.

Su Xia took him to the queue. Su Yan and He An were watching the ox cart from a distance, waiting for Su Xia to come back.

There are a lot of people coming to take the exam today. It’s just dawn now, but the area is already crowded.

In order not to block the students, Su Yan and He An pulled the ox cart a little further out.

The two of them talked idly, and Su Yan glanced ahead aimlessly.

At this time, people had already lined up, and the inspectors at the front door of the examination room also began to check step by step.

The students moved forward bit by bit in the biting cold wind of February.

Su Yan and He An also lowered their heads.

Suddenly a familiar figure entered Su Yan's field of vision.

Su Yan looked again, but found nothing.

She didn't think too much about it and continued talking to He An while waiting for Su Xia.

After a while, Su Xia came back with obvious worry on her face.

He An sent the two of them to the door of the old house and went to the supermarket himself.

Su Yan took Su Xia back, but she saw that her face was still full of nervousness and she bit her lip unconsciously.

Su Yan comforted her, "It's okay, my cousin's husband has studied for so many years, and I heard from my mother that he is often praised by the teacher!"

"It will definitely pass."

Su Xia still frowned, "I hope so."

Su Yan patted her shoulder, "What hope? You have to have faith in him!"

"There is only one person from Qianshan Village coming to the county to take the exam today. God must be blessing him alone!"

When Su Xia heard this, her worries were largely dispelled, and she became hesitant to speak instead.

Su Yan: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Su Xia waved her hands quickly, "No, no!"

He hesitated again, "It's not like there is none... there is more than one candidate in the village this year."

Su Yan: "Hmm? Is there anyone else?"

I haven't heard of it.

Su Xia smiled awkwardly.

Su Yan thought of the familiar figure that flashed by outside the examination room, and suddenly realized, "Yang Lin?"

Su Xia nodded.

Su Yan: Oh my god, I forgot about this person, but...

"Wasn't his house robbed? The money hasn't been recovered yet, right? Where did he get the money to take the exam?"

You can't take the county examination whenever you want, it costs money.

Just to find a guarantor from a senior official, it seems to cost five taels of silver.

Add in accommodation, meals and some other expenses, the total cost would be about 80 or 90 taels.

Where does he get so much money?

Then Su Xia solved her doubts.

"He...he sold...his sister."

"What???!!!"

Su Yan stopped and looked back at Su Xia in disbelief.

Su Xia nodded affirmatively, "It's true!"

Su Yan then remembered that she seemed to have seen her ex-sister-in-law riding in a sedan chair in an alley some time ago.

At that time, she was still wondering whether she had gone to that family to be a concubine, and she wanted to wait until she met Su's mother to ask her about it.

Later I forgot about it and didn't ask Su's mother.

I didn't expect to learn such a shocking piece of news here.

Su Yan still found it hard to believe. Her ex-husband's family said they would marry her ex-sister-in-law to a wealthy family as a concubine. She thought it was possible.

But selling the person?

How is this possible?

She asked unconsciously.

Su Xia: "It's actually fate. The Yao in front..."

She signaled Su Yan with her eyes, skipped this word and continued, "Didn't you steal his family's money? There is no money at home, and the land has been sold."

"The only thing left for the family is the house they live in, but houses in the countryside are not worth much, let alone his shabby house."

It seems that Su Yan is not at all uncomfortable with her ex-husband's family, but rather seems to be gloating over their misfortune.

Su Xia understood immediately and told Su Yan everything that happened in the village.

"He wanted to take the county exam, but he had no money, so he set his sights on his wife."

"Luckily Wu Yu was a little bit thoughtful and ran away overnight."

"There is no other way. Seeing that the county exam is getting closer and Wu Yu cannot be found, Yang Lin has his sights set on his sister."

"Anyway, I don't know how he did it. He went to the county, and the next day someone came with money and took her away from the Yang family."

At this point, Su Xia paused and couldn't help gossiping with Su Yan.

"Although they said they were taken away, many people speculated that they were kidnapped."

"There was quite a commotion in the yard at first, but when the person got on the sedan chair, there was no movement. They must have been tied up and couldn't move."

Su Yan thought about the scene he saw when the wind blew that day, and nodded secretly.

You guessed it right, he was indeed kidnapped.

Su Xia: "It's a sin! Selling your own sister just to pass an exam is a lifelong thing!"

"If I can't take the exam this year, I can take it the year after next. I heard from Mingzhe that the county exam is held twice every three years, and there will be another one the year after next."

"It's not like there's nothing left. I have to exchange it with my sister."

Su Xia also sneered at Yang Lin's behavior. In fact, although everyone in Qianshan Village who knew about this matter didn't say it, they all looked down on Yang Lin in their hearts.

How can anyone respect a person who climbs to the top - oh, he may not even climb to the top - by stepping on the blood of his sister?

Some people even said privately, "It's better for the Yang family kid not to pass the exam. Otherwise, with officials like him in the future, how can we ordinary people live a good life?"

This statement has been agreed by many people.

Su Yan had a different opinion, "I'm afraid it's not just because of the county exam."

Su Xia: “Hmm?”

Su Yan: "Look, his family has no money, no land, and no one in the family can make money."

"If we don't sell people to get some money back, we might soon face the embarrassing situation of having no food to eat."

Su Xia: "But...if it's because the family has no money, Yang Lin is a grown man, he should just go and earn money."

"He can read, so it's better than going to the docks to do hard labor, right?"

Su Yan sneered twice, "For someone like him, there is a shortcut to quickly get a large sum of money, why would he condescend to save a few dozen coins every day?"

Su Xia opened her mouth wide: "But that's his biological sister! I heard that the one who sold it is an old man in his sixties!"

"You are so old? Why do you still want to take a concubine? It will be embarrassing if you are old and undisciplined."

Su Xia: "I heard that it was because he was old and had a bit of hemiplegia... His children disliked the maids for not being caring, so they wanted to find him a wife to serve him."

Su Yan: "...Is she someone who knows how to serve others?"

I even have my own underwear washed by others every day.

Su Xia said embarrassedly, "Who knows what Yang Lin said to others, anyway, he was just taken away like that."

"I don't know how she is now?"
