The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 403 - 225: Someone Comes to Take Da Ya Away

Chapter 403: Chapter 225: Someone Comes to Take Da Ya Away

Someone’s here to take Daya!

Aunt Luo hurriedly ran back.

Chun Nuan also prepared to go see, but was stopped by Zhao Minghua.

"It’s people from Chunfeng Lou in the county town, it seems Daya was sold by her husband." Zhao Minghua said, "You shouldn’t go, things are chaotic and you might get hurt."

Chun Nuan was shocked beyond belief at these words.

Women truly face great risks in marriage; marrying a bad man is one thing, but being sold—!

How tragic this is.

"You should go handle it."

It’s not that Chun Nuan loves meddling in others’ affairs, but because the Luo family extended a helping hand to the Xiao family in their toughest times; she remembers this kindness.

"I know." Zhao Minghua said, "I’ll go take a look."

At the Luo household, three big men were about to take Luo Daya away.

"Let’s see who dares take my daughter today."

Aunt Luo grabbed a hoe from the doorway and raised it high, "If you want to take my daughter, step over my dead body first."

"Woman, I advise you not to be so unreasonable." The leading old man slapped a piece of paper on the table with the paper in his hand, "See clearly, this is a letter of sale from Zhang Siwa, selling his wife to us at Chunfeng Lou for ten taels of silver."

"Damn him, my daughter only married into the Zhaang family, not sold to them, what right does he have to sell my daughter?"

Aunt Luo was furious: This bastard really went out of his mind, even selling his own wife.

"I don’t care about that, ten taels of silver have already been given to Zhang Siwa, we just need to take the person away."

"In broad daylight, this is robbery, is there no law anymore?"

Aunt Luo was visibly flustered.

Daya went from shock to disappointment to despair.

How could she have imagined that he would actually sell her to Chunfeng Lou?

Even a hundred days of marriage couldn’t measure up—he didn’t consider the relationship between husband and wife, nor did he care about the children’s reputation.

If a mother is sold to Chunfeng Lou, how will the two children face others in the future?

"The law, I am the law." The old man said, "With a sale contract, I wouldn’t be afraid to fight this case to the end of the world. Besides, General Xia has issued orders to protect the normal businesses of people like us, I’m not afraid of anything."

"Men, take her away."

"No, you can’t take my daughter, I’ll... I’ll fight you to the death."

Xiao Gang also took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen.

"None of you are allowed to come in, entering means forcibly breaking into a private residence, and if I cut you, it’s not breaking the law."

Their words were right.

However, they couldn’t spend ten taels of silver without getting the person.

They clenched their teeth and stamped their feet, deciding to go ahead.

They were betting that Luo Xiaogang wouldn’t really make a move.

Luo Xiaogang truly hadn’t wielded a knife before, but for his sister, he went ahead with his eyes closed and swung the kitchen knife.

"No one is allowed to come over, if I wound you it’s your own fault."

However, he was too inexperienced, and was knocked down in just a few moves.

Aunt Luo’s hoe was useless too, completely unable to resist the other side who were professional thugs.

"Help, someone is being taken..."

With the men not at home, and her son knocked down, Aunt Luo cried out in despair, only hoping that someone in the Xiao family next door could hear her.

"Stop, in broad daylight, you’re forcibly entering a private residence and kidnapping a woman."

Aunt Luo heard Zhao Minghua’s voice, and tears of gratitude welled up in her eyes.

She knew Chun Nuan would not stand idly by.

"Young master, you misunderstand, we’re not kidnapping; we’re just here to take away someone we’ve bought."

The old man stepped forward to hand the sale contract to Zhao Minghua to look at.

He knew with one glance that the person in front of him was either rich or noble; offending someone like that could even lead to Chunfeng Lou being shut down.

"Who is Zhang Siwa?"

"It’s this Luo Daya’s husband."

"Was Luo Daya sold to the Zhaang family?"

"It doesn’t seem like it, I heard it was a marriage."

"Since it was a marriage, what right does he have to sell a wife?" Zhao Minghua said, "He can divorce her, he can separate from her, but he absolutely cannot sell her; he doesn’t have that right."

"No, I have the contract here, and he already received ten taels of silver."

"A wife wasn’t something he bought; she was married to him, he doesn’t have the right to sell her, this contract is not legal." Zhao Minghua said, "If you don’t believe me, you can come with me to General Xia and see if there’s any saying in the Great Xia about selling wives."

Zhao Minghua didn’t actually know if there was such a saying, but he knew as long as he saw General Xia, it would definitely be in his favor.

After all, General Xia owed him a big favor.

"But we’ve already given him the silver?"

"You guys are really foolish, he knew you couldn’t take Luo Daya away and still sold her to you, simply to toy with you."

How could this be?

"What are you standing there for? Hurry and go find him." Zhao Minghua said, "If you’re late, he’ll gamble all the money away and you won’t be able to recover the loss."

"But we..."

"Alright, alright, it’s not a big deal, come on, here’s two taels of silver for tea, you’d better hurry to find him."

"May I ask for the young master’s name?"

In this world, what goes around comes around.

He was willing to get to know Zhao Minghua.

"I am Zhao Minghua from Hundred Herbs Hall."

"So you’re the third young master Zhao, I’ve heard so much about you, you’re especially straightforward in handling things." The old man admitted, "On the account of the third young master Zhao, let’s retreat for now. But this time we didn’t sell her, that Zhang Siwa definitely won’t give up, he might sell her somewhere else, just letting you know, he’s not a good person."

"Thank you." Zhao Minghua said, "You guys should hurry and find him."

"Alright, third young master Zhao, goodbye."

The old man left quickly with the two thugs.

"Uncle, why did we have to give face to that third young master Zhao?"

"You know nothing." The man scolded, "Do you know how respected Hundred Herbs Hall is? Giving him face today also leaves a road open for ourselves."

"Also, did you know, General Xia is the brother-in-law of third young master Zhao." The old man said, "In our line of work, we must know when to bend and stretch. Without this bit of insight, we’ll soon be back to planting sweet potatoes."

The necessary respect must be given.

Otherwise, you’ll end up losing everything.

The so-called knowing how to adapt to the times makes one a wise man—that’s what it means.

"So that’s how it is." The two thugs admired, "By the way, Uncle, can men really not sell their wives?"

"Bullshit, a lot of men fool around outside and in the end, when they’re out of money, they sell their children and wives, don’t they still get by?" "Then why did you leave when he said you couldn’t sell?" "I’ve already told you, you need some insight, we gave him face but also left a way out for ourselves. You can’t afford to offend someone like him, just follow his lead and don’t argue stubbornly about whether it can be sold or not."

Whether it can be sold, isn’t that just a matter of his word?
