NovelEnglishChapter 849: I like it like that
Two taels were no longer a large sum of money, it can hardly purchase a catty of rice what was more these two pieces of silver were something that she found in the house of the woman who was killed and eaten by them. Qi Qing originally wanted to go to the market and purchase some rice but along with the money she even found some rice in the house of that woman, since killing her led to the total wipeout of her family leaving no one behind to take care of the house and the things which were inside.
With the rice and some condiments in her hands, Qi Qing tried to cook a bit of porridge for herself but only a bite was enough to wipe her entire appetite, it was then she realised that after getting used to human meat, she was no longer able to eat anything without roasted human flesh. But unfortunately for her, the village no longer had any weak or sick left, with Tan and the Xiao family leaving their village in the middle of the night, things had gotten more and more difficult.
As soon as the thought of the two runaway families came to her head Qi Qing wished she could drag them out of their hiding spots and kill them on the spot but there was no way she would be able to do something like that given that she no longer had any idea where they were hiding which was why she sighed and then quenched the anger which she was feeling at once.
" Are you willing?" She once again asked as she showed the two taels to the two women in front of her, she could see that the two of them were fools and did not think that it would be too hard to fool them since they were in a hurry to get the money.

When Old Madam Shen looked at the shiny silver that was in the hands of the woman who was offering to buy her child everything else was swept clear off her head, she did not care whether or not the person in front of her was trustable or not, in her small head as long as someone had money they were trustable.
Though she never intended to sell the remaining three kids for so cheap but when she thought about how she will be beaten black and blue with her limbs broken if she was not able to whip the ten taels which she owed to the liquor shop owner, Old madam Shen no longer hesitated as she nodded and then said, " I am willing but …but you will have to give me the money as soon as possible!"
" Sure, I live on the east side of the big mountain village. You can come to my village tomorrow to get the money… as long as I sell your kid to a rich family then you can come and get the money from me," Qi Qing smiled when she said these words, though there was indeed a Wen Xinya who lived in the big mountain village it was not her, since these two fools were in such a hurry of course they will not sense anything amiss.
When Old Madam Shen thought that there was a way to get more money from this woman, she smiled showing her crooked teeth as she asked, " If… If I sell two kids can I get twenty taels?"
She had more than two kids anyway even if she was to sell two of them, it was not a loss for her was it?
When Qi Qing heard Old Madam Shen's words she was more than overjoyed but on the surface she pretended to be troubled as she said in a professional voice, " I only have one slot left for now as for the second one …" She took out a tael which was the last and final tael in the pocket and then said, " I can only hand a tael in advance for him since I don't know whether anyone will be willing to buy him or not?"
Just as Old Madam Shen was going to agree, she was pulled by Shen Hanxing to the side who glared at her and then said, " Are you stupid? She is not even making a full payment and you want to sell your kids to her?"
Shen Hanxing had nothing against the kids being sold but she wanted to see the money first before anything else. The woman did not even show more than ten taels to her mother and yet the latter was willing to sell the two kids for three taels? What if she vanishes after taking the money?

" No buts!" Shen Hanxing hissed she was a thug but she was smarter than her mother, she did not trust this sell once and collect money later scheme which was why she snapped at her mother and then said, " I am not trusting a word that woman is saying and you should not trust her either do you understand?"
With that, she turned to look at Qi Qing and then said, " We are not selling anyone." Only then did she drag Old Madam Shen with her who looked back at Qi Qing with a reluctant expression.
However Qi Qing was not at all offended, she looked down at the three taels and smirked, previously she could not sneak inside the town because of the entry fee that she had to pay but with this much money in her pocket she can easily enter the town and stealing a kid or two from these fools was not difficult.
Her eyes flickered as she followed after Shen Hanxing and Old Madam Shen who were so engrossed in their quarrel that they did not even see that someone was following them.
….
On the other hand of the town, Ning Yu was looking at his son who was burning up and bit his lips in worry, now what was he supposed to do?
