Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Mo Hong’s Family Sells Daughter and Gains an Uncle (3)_1

Indeed, the Mo Family Leader’s grown daughters and grandchildren already number three or four each! Upon hearing this, the onlookers began to somewhat understand Lao Mo’s House’s predicament.

But to sell a daughter to raise dowry silver, for any family that loves their daughter, who would dare to marry into such a family? With such a precedent, if Old Man Mo’s family remains poor in the future, won’t the daughters born to his daughters be sold off again to raise dowry for other children?

With this thought, whatever little understanding the crowd had for Old Man Mo vanished into thin air.

"Even so, you can’t sell my Erni!" Upon hearing this, Mo Niu’s burst into tears, hugging Mo Erni and making a scene: "The family is poor, but it’s not Erni’s fault. Why sell her? The eldest brother and sister-in-law also have two girls, why don’t you sell them both?"

These words hit Mo Wu like a dagger to the heart.

Mo Wu’s eyes went dark with rage, and she wished she could rush forward and beat this malicious sister-in-law to a pulp! If it weren’t for her bad ideas, how could her Si Nier have been sold?

Now hearing Mo Niu’s suggesting to sell her daughters, old grudges and new flooded Mo Wu’s heart. With an "ao" she lunged forward, grabbing Mo Niu’s hair and starting a physical altercation.

"You rotten, evil thing, what grudge do you have against me that you want to sell my daughter? My Si Nier was ruined by your shameless acts, and now you want to come harm my Dani and San Ni? I’ll kill you, you black-hearted wretch, I’ll kill you!"

Since Mo Niu’s married into the Mo family, she had always lorded over Mo Wu, oppressing her for over a decade. Now the pent-up rage burst forth with surprising strength, enough to pin Mo Niu to the ground amid her shrieks.

Caught off guard, Mo Niu took several hard hits from Mo Wu, but she was stout and had a hearty appetite, much stronger than the frail Mo Wu, and soon pushed Mo Wu off her and began to fight back.

The sisters-in-law were now locked in a brawl, pulling hair, scratching necks, clawing faces... They employed nearly every trick in the book for a woman’s fight.

From selling a daughter to the division of the family, to a father beating his son, it had now turned into a fight between sisters-in-law.

The whole spectacle was like an opera, leaving not just the onlookers from the village dumbfounded but even the slave traders round-eyed.

Mo Yan had long wanted to beat Mo Niu, but out of respect for her elder, she hadn’t laid a hand on her. Now that Mo Wu had made a move, she was more than happy for her to land a few more blows, although she was worried that Mo Wu might be at a disadvantage.

Old Man Mo’s face darkened like ink as he shouted at his two sons, who were standing dumbstruck, "Why aren’t you separating these two women?"

Ultimately, the indistinguishably close-fighting sisters-in-law were pried apart by their respective husbands. Between Mo Wu’s fingers lingered a few strands of Mo Niu’s hair, while under Mo Niu’s fingernails remained flesh from Mo Wu’s neck.

Dishevelled, they glared at each other, each wishing to leap forward and savagely beat the other into submission.

After a satisfying spectacle, it was time to get down to business.

By now, the three slave traders who had been sitting back and enjoying the show stood up and made their way over to Old Man Mo and his family. The woman among them eyed Mo Erni, who was still kneeling on the ground, and nodded at Mrs. Hong’s satisfaction: "This girl has a fair appearance, but she’s too old and not easy to train, I’ll offer eight tael silver."

With that, the woman pulled out a set of one tael silver pieces from her purse, amounting to eight, and handed them to Mo Hong’s family.

Mo Hong’s face fell as he said displeased, "Eight tael silver? How come I’ve heard that a girl her age can sell for twenty-two?"

The woman looked at Mo Hong with a profound smile, "If she’s sold to a top-tier brothel or a private bordello, not to mention twenty-two, even forty-two would be possible. It all depends on whether the auntie is willing."
