Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1534 - 336, Selling Oneself (One More Update)_2

Widow Qiao’s tongue was nearly stiff with fear. Two hundred taels of silver—where would they get such an amount!

She turned her gaze towards the two small girls standing beside her, who, terrified, clung to each other and choked out repeatedly, "Don’t sell us, please don’t sell us, we don’t want to be sold."

Widow Qiao was actually already awake, but when she heard Lin Yuan tallying the debt, she didn’t dare open her eyes, and when she heard that Lin Yuan was Princess Pingxi, she dared even less to speak.

If at first she was sure that Lin Yuan wouldn’t dare lay a finger on her, now she didn’t dare say so, because she was a Commandery Princess. Wasn’t it just a flick of the wrist for her to do whatever she wanted to these common folks?

Father Yinxing was out of the question, it seemed that the only choice was to sell these two unprofitable girls into the brothel!

Before Widow Qiao could even open her mouth, Huai Hua on the side spoke up first: "We don’t have two hundred taels of silver, but we have three daughters. If the Commandery Princess doesn’t mind, we’re willing to sell ourselves to serve like cows and horses!"

With those words, Huai Hua knelt down on her knees, making the onlookers sigh with pity, as if Lin Yuan were a cruel person forcing the innocent into prostitution.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, unable to deny that Huai Hua had a bit of cunning, but sadly, she hadn’t used it for anything worthwhile.

Glancing back at Xia Zheng, Lin Yuan could read Huai Hua’s mind clearly. Since the girl took a fancy to Xia Zheng, it might be just as well to let her stay by his side—it would also help him find someone he could trust!

However, before Lin Yuan made up her mind about buying the three daughters, Widow Qiao was already embracing Huai Hua, crying hysterically.

"Huai Hua, how could mother sell you! You are the apple of my eye. Don’t worry, mother will sell those two unprofitable ones into the brothel, and they will certainly fetch two hundred taels of silver. You just wait and see!"

Hearing Widow Qiao’s words, the crowd, which had at first felt some sympathy for them, now showed a look of contempt. Her daughters were her flesh and blood, but her stepdaughters were just goods to offset debts!

Such a shameless woman!

Listening to her mother’s words, Huai Hua was almost fuming with rage. She wanted to sell herself for a reason—she planned to stay by Lin Yuan’s side to seduce Xia Zheng into making her his Little Concubine in the future!

"Mother, that’s two hundred taels of silver! Even if you sell the two of them to the brothel, it wouldn’t be enough! Don’t worry, remember when Father Yinxing sold himself for thirty taels of silver? Now that all three of us are grown up and can work, aren’t we worth two hundred taels?"

As she spoke, Huai Hua hugged Widow Qiao and whispered a few words in her ear.

Widow Qiao’s eyes lit up instantly; she stole a glance at Xia Zheng, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Alright, my dear daughter, everything you say, mother agrees to, all agreed!"

Widow Qiao’s face changed so fast it was as if she were flipping through a book, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.

But seeing how happily, even eagerly, she was about to sell her birth daughter, many shook their heads and walked away.

It was best not to watch such a cold-hearted and malicious woman—she would just sully one’s eyes!

"Commandery Princess, I beg you to buy my three daughters! Please, I beg you!"

Widow Qiao also knelt down, pleading passionately with Lin Yuan. If she hadn’t been bowing her head at that moment, everyone would undoubtedly have seen the smirk at the corners of her mouth.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly absentmindedly turning her head, and saw Yin Xing hiding in the carriage, looking at her with a face full of expectation and conflict.

It seemed that Yin Xing had also noticed that Huai Hua was up to no good.

"No, no, I’ll earn money, earn money to repay you, please don’t sell my daughters!"

Seeing his two daughters crying together in a heap, Father Yinxing was in tears. He bemoaned his inability to provide, for getting his wife killed in pursuit of a son, and now for selling his daughters for this widow.

Now, because he sought money from his second daughter, he had to sacrifice his two daughters again—he truly failed their deceased mother!

Watching Father Yinxing crying his heart out, Lin Yuan’s lips pressed tightly together. She felt the old man was pitiful—if only he hadn’t pressured his wife to bear him a son, perhaps they wouldn’t have fallen into such a desperate situation.

Meanwhile, Yin Xing too had become a tearful mess, hiding in the carriage and refusing to come out.

"You old fool, what do you know? With the likes of you, still thinking about working? What talents do you have? Are you even desirable as a worker?"

Widow Qiao grabbed Father Yinxing’s ear and scolded him as she shoved him to the side.

The two weeping girls cried even harder at the sight of their father’s cowardice.

After Widow Qiao had taken Father Yinxing away, Huai Hua beseeched Lin Yuan several more times.

Lin Yuan hooked her fingers and spoke with some difficulty: "You three? Tsk tsk, but, when Yin Xing signed her contract, it was a contract unto death; if it’s a living contract, the three of you are worth at most one hundred taels!"

Before Lin Yuan could say more, Widow Qiao and Huai Hua eagerly cut in: "We’ll sign contracts unto death too, contracts unto death!"

"If it’s a contract unto death, you have to follow my orders in all things, and do whatever I ask of you, even if I decide to sell you."

Huai Hua and Widow Qiao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, even selling us to a brothel is fine!"

Lin Yuan joked: "And if I’m angry, I could even kill you."

Widow Qiao had experienced Lin Yuan’s ferocity firsthand and immediately quieted down, her body trembling slightly.

But Huai Hua dismissed it, nodding decisively: "Commandery Princess, I understand. Whether I live or die, I accept it!"

Lin Yuan chuckled softly to herself and turned to head back to Dong Tian: "Draw up the indenture contracts!"
