The whole sect is full of cunning people, only I am really stupid

"Three taels, three taels and I'll give her to you."

"These days, you can sell a grown girl for three taels, but she's only a little girl. One tael at most."

"One or two is too little."

In the corner, two men were bargaining.

The goods that the two men were bargaining for were not dead objects.

A living person.

A little girl who was only three years old.

The little girl was wearing a coarse cloth dress with patches all over it. Her pants were half too short, revealing her slender white calves, which looked like new green shoots in early spring.

Shen Ya stood in the shadow, her little body shaking uncontrollably.

She didn't understand why the village chief wanted to sell her right after her grandmother was buried.

Is she being naughty?

Or was it because she ate too much and the village chief was unhappy?

A three-year-old child is unable to analyze the malice of others towards him and his mind is in a mess.

"Look at her, what a pretty face she has. If you take her home and raise her for a few years, she'll be a little beauty."

The village chief pinched Shen Ya's chin and forcefully lifted her face up, exposing her to the seller's revealing eyes.

The little girl in front of me is indeed good-looking, with a pair of beautiful big and round cat-like pupils. When she stares at people, she looks like a pitiful cat.

Just too thin.

The middle-aged man's gaze was like a sticky tongue.

He licked Shen Ya's tender eyebrows and facial features bit by bit, wishing he could skin her alive and see what was going on.

Eyes facing each other.

Shen Ya was so frightened by the greed and covetousness in the middle-aged man's eyes that she couldn't help but want to step back.

But the village chief's hands locked her arms tightly like shackles, preventing her from taking a single step back.

"Uncle village chief, can you take me home? Please take me home. I promise to be good in the future and only eat a little bit. Please don't sell me, okay?"

Shen Ya tugged at the village chief's sleeve, her big eyes filled with tears.

village head?

As soon as this name came out, the greed in the middle-aged man's eyes disappeared and he frowned.

"She is from your village? Are you the village chief?"

If this man is the village chief, he would have to think about this.

As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.

In the countryside, a village is like a big family.

Maybe there are frictions in daily life.

If there is any big event, the villagers will unite to face it.

The village chief is like the patriarch of a large family, looking after the family.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would know to avoid people from the same village when doing bad things.

Selling children from the same village.

The seller is also the village chief.

This is the first time I have seen a middle-aged man.

Is there something fishy going on?

See the hesitation on the middle-aged man's face.

The village chief's face changed and he pinched Shen Ya's arm fiercely. The pain made Shen Ya shut up.

So many strange things have happened in the village recently because of her. If she is not sent away, who knows what will happen?

The village chief smiled apologetically, "She is just an abandoned baby picked up by one of our villagers. Who knows where she came from. The person who picked her up died, and there was no one in the village to adopt her, so I sold her."

"No one wants to adopt her?"

The middle-aged man looked suspicious.

Normally, even if the item was picked up, the villagers would not be so ruthless.

How bad must the relationship between this family and the villagers be for the villagers to be so cruel.

Or does she have some hidden illness?

The middle-aged man carefully looked at Shen Ya's limbs and was relieved only after making sure that there were no disabilities or birthmarks.

"Her grandmother has a very strange temper and she doesn't get along with anyone in the village. Besides, the harvest has been poor in recent years and she can't even feed her own family, let alone her. That's why I brought her out to find a way for her to survive."

The village chief explained.

"You are talking nonsense. Grandma is the best. You are all bad people."

When Shen Ya heard the village chief saying bad things about grandma, she turned around and bit the village chief's arm, staring at him viciously.

"Grandma is the best person in the world. You are not allowed to say that about her."

The child in front of her was only three years old, yet she looked at him so fiercely.

Thinking of the plants that have been growing wildly in the village recently, the village chief actually felt a little creepy.

As his arm was in severe pain, he subconsciously slapped Shen Ya in the face.

The village chief did not hold back his strength and Shen Ya was slapped to the ground.

Bright red palm prints appeared on her fair little face, and it even showed signs of swelling.

My face was burning and hurting.

Shen Ya couldn't help but raise her hand to touch it. Her cold hand touched the place where she was hit. It hurt so much that she grimaced and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.

"She's dead, so what does it matter if I say anything? You'd better be obedient. If you don't, I'll sell you to the fool Wang from the neighboring village as a child bride."

The village chief gave Shen Ya a vicious look.

Shen Ya didn't say anything else about asking the village chief to take her home.

She felt the village chief's deep dislike for her.

She is a nasty child.

I was abandoned when I was young and was not liked by others even when I grew up.

She doesn't deserve a home.

The middle-aged man watched the farce of the two people coldly.

After the two of them had enough fun, he spoke slowly.

"You can do it. But if your face gets bruised, you can take the child back yourself."

It’s that face that girls look at.

If you lose your face, you're worthless.

"understand."

The village chief withdrew his hand which was a little hurt by the shock, and hissed while covering his bitten arm.

"Add more, add more and you can take it away."

"Two taels of silver, and I'll take it away."

"Two ounces is too little. At least he looks handsome."

The village chief was still a little unwilling.

The man was too lazy to argue with the village chief, "If you want to sell it, sell it. If not, take it back."

"Sell, sell, sell." It was impossible to take it back, so the village chief could only nod and agree.

The two men decided Shen Ya's destination with a few words, and Shen Ya didn't even have a chance to resist.

Shen Ya looked at the village chief with red and swollen eyes, secretly hoping that he would change his mind and take her away instead of leaving her to this stranger.

But the village chief weighed the money given by the middle-aged man and left the alley without looking back.

His steps were brisk, as if he had thrown away something dirty.

Shen Ya bit her lip, the last glimmer of hope in her eyes dimmed little by little, and darkness swallowed her eyes.

she knows.

She was abandoned.

She no longer has a home since her grandmother died.

"That's right. People just have to accept their fate."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You have such a beautiful face. It's a pity to stay in the countryside. If you follow me, you will definitely have a good life."

Shen Ya didn't say anything.

Even if she couldn't go back, she didn't want to go with this human trafficker.

Shen Ya's silence was seen as being well behaved by the middle-aged man.

The little girl stood there, silent and obedient. Unlike the country girls, her fair skin was indeed dazzling.

No one doesn't like a well-behaved child.

The man touched her face with satisfaction.

"As long as you behave yourself, you will live a good life. You will have beautiful clothes to wear every day and countless delicious foods waiting for you to eat. Your new mother will love you."

With a face like this, she will definitely be a top star once she grows up.

The most important thing is a woman's appearance.

There is only one thing that is most valuable about a woman.
