Chapter 195 52 Selling My Body for Silver

"What's the matter? Are you going to pay back the silver?" Brother Qin was very surprised. The old man didn't show any intention of helping to pay back the silver.

"Wait a minute! Let me talk to him. You just want the silver. You shouldn't mind if I delay a little longer, right?" Clan leader Jiang Heng pointed at Jiang Haiqing, whose eyes were filled with surprise.

"Chief!" His eyes lit up. It must be that the chief thought he had a future, so he was willing to help.

"Go ahead!" Brother Qin signaled A Biao to let go of Jiang Haiqing.

"Patriarch Jiang? Have you thought it through?" The head of the village was very surprised. As far as he knew, Patriarch Jiang's family had only a slight surplus. Let alone sixty taels, even taking out six taels would be enough.

Jiang Heng gave the head of the village a calm look, and then pulled Jiang Haiqing aside.

"Haiqing, tell me the truth, can you afford this money? If I give you a few more days, can you afford it?"

Jiang Haiqing was a little angry when he heard it, "Are you making fun of me? If I could afford it, I would have paid it back long ago."

"Didn't you just say you would pay it back to me?" Jiang Haiqing complained in his heart, "I was so happy for nothing."

"It's not that I can't pay you back, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Jiang Heng's words rekindled Jiang Haiqing's hope. He said happily, "You tell me! As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."

"Let your eighth uncle adopt Fugui. I just asked your eighth uncle and he agrees. He originally wanted to have a son to take care of him in his old age. Anyway, your family doesn't need a brother like Fugui."

Jiang Haiqing was stunned for a moment, then he sneered.

"Don't take me for a fool. This is what Jiang Youzhen wants, right? This kid has a lot of ideas. He doesn't think highly of our small temple and wants to find another place. It's not easy for her to bring this up in person, so she wants you to help speak for her?"

As Jiang Haiqing spoke, he looked at Jiang Youzhen, only to see Jiang Youzhen smiling at him without any hesitation, which in his opinion seemed to be a bit provocative.

"I don't agree!" Jiang Haiqing said hatefully.

Jiang Heng was very puzzled, "Why? I was the one who proposed this matter. Erlang didn't really mean it. It was Old Eight who always wanted to adopt a son, so I came up with this idea to have the best of both worlds."

"You want to exchange the family tree for sixty taels? How flattering she is. My father gave birth to them after all. What a heartless person." Jiang Haiqing knew that there was an opportunity right now, and he couldn't let it go.

"Forget it then!" The clan leader didn't expect Jiang Haiqing to refuse so directly, but he saw the greed in Jiang Haiqing's eyes and was afraid that he would ask for too much.

Jiang Haiqing's face froze, and then he said, "Let's be frank, five hundred taels!"

Jiang Heng almost choked to death on his own saliva when he heard this, "What? How much did you say?"

"Five hundred taels, not a penny less. If she wants to fly away, she has to pay the price." Jiang Haiqing knew that five hundred taels was not a small amount, but Jiang Youzhen had a farm and land, so even if he sold them, he would get more than five hundred taels.

Jiang Heng looked at Jiang Haiqing in disbelief, "Are you crazy? Five hundred taels? How dare you ask for that?"

"It's not like she can't afford it. What's five hundred taels? If she doesn't have money, she can sell the land and the farm. What do you mean by dowry? I don't believe she can give Erya and the others a dowry. It's just an excuse! Go and tell her that it's just five hundred taels."

Jiang Heng swallowed and shook his head repeatedly.

"You have to understand that you are in urgent need of money now, but she is not. At worst, she will not adopt you, and then you will not have even a tael of silver." Jiang Heng did not expect Jiang Haiqing to be so greedy. This is five hundred taels of silver, and he has never seen so much silver in his life.

"Just ask. These five hundred taels are the money they need to sell their bodies. If she is reluctant to pay, she will have to do corvée labor when the time comes. That's not up to her."

After Jiang Haiqing said this, he thought it would be a good idea to keep Jiang Youzhen and the others. When they were doing the corvée, Jiang Youzhen would not be at home, and this family would be at his disposal. Wouldn't the farm and the land be in his hands?

"You are really crazy! Can you at least have some consideration for me?" Jiang Heng just felt that Jiang Haiqing's character was really bad.

"What about Jiang Youzhen and the others? Did they take our feelings into consideration? Did she say anything when she watched me get my arm chopped off?"

There was no way Jiang Haiqing would let it go. He felt that five hundred taels was too little.

"You! Wait a minute, I'll go ask." Jiang Heng said as he flicked his sleeves and turned angrily towards Jiang Youzhen.

"Erlang! Your uncle wants five hundred taels of silver."

Jiang Youzhen was not surprised at all, and nodded, "Then cut off the arm! I think it's a good idea."

After she said that, she smiled at the village head, who nodded slightly.

"Qin Er, I've thought over and over again that I shouldn't interfere in the affairs of your gang. You should solve this matter on your own! Although I'm the head of the village, I can't take care of the matter of debt repayment."

How could the headman not understand what Jiang Youzhen meant? As soon as he saw Jiang Haiqing and the chief of the Jiang clan whispering, he understood.

Qin Erge was a little confused. What did that mean? Were these people playing a trick on him? He looked at Jiang Heng again, and saw Jiang Heng smiled at him apologetically, then stood aside in silence.

He was very upset. This matter has been dragged on until now. Are these people playing tricks on him? But he couldn't afford to offend the head of the village, so he could only say coldly: "In that case! Then chop him off!"

At his command, Ah Biao stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Haiqing, who had not yet recovered from his shock, and said, "Someone, hold him down!"

Jiang Haiqing was horrified. "Wait, wait! What are you doing? I didn't say I wouldn't pay you back."

At this time, Xiao Chen shrank back. After seeing Jiang Haiqing's true face, her previous pity for him had long disappeared. She was also afraid that if she stepped forward to stop him, Jiang Haiqing would tell these people to cut off her arm.

When the old lady saw it, she slapped her thigh in anxiety.

"Oh! My son! Stop chopping, is there any law?" The old lady said as she rushed forward to Jiang Haiqing and hugged him tightly.

Brother Qin was already very impatient, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you pull them away? If they refuse to leave, I'll chop them all off together."

Listening to the old lady's howling, he felt a headache.

When the old lady heard that they were going to chop them all off, she was so frightened that she stopped crying.

"Erlang! Grandma is begging you, please save your uncle!" The old lady looked at Jiang Youzhen with tears in her eyes, which were full of pleading.

The old lady was very protective of Jiang Haiqing, and Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but think of Jiang Fugui. If it was Jiang Fugui, the old lady would not add insult to injury, and even mocking and ridiculing him would be good enough.

"Grandma! I don't have any money, so I really can't take it out. But there are ways! It's just that my uncle doesn't agree, so there's nothing I can do." Jiang Youzhen sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately asked, "What's the solution? You tell me! I'll agree on his behalf. It's urgent, what could be more important than his arm?"

"You should ask your uncle!" Jiang Youzhen shook his head.

The old lady slapped Jiang Haiqing on the back, causing him to grimace in pain.

"What's the solution? Just tell me! Just agree to it!"
