I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 488: Making Money_1

Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Making Money_1

After some back and forth, the driver ultimately didn’t refuse Shen Dong’s kindness. It was very simple for others to earn money, and he needed to earn money himself. Perhaps this would at least be fair to his own family. So, he agreed and began to look for the first household while introducing it to them as they walked.

"The master of this household is a bit peculiar," the driver said as he walked. "They’re a bit harsh when they speak. Living in this kind of environment, their hearts become somewhat distorted. It’s their daughter, though, she is incredibly fair and lovely. Not long ago, there was talk of her getting married, but it fell through because her brother got leukemia and became a burden."

At that time, the man’s side of the potential union was unwilling, as the man’s parents had been disparaging the woman’s family. Ultimately, upon hearing of the situation, the man left without caring for the woman. She has been downhearted, not yet truly recovered, always lamenting in her room. But she still loves life dearly, all for the sake of her brother."

The driver, while explaining, felt a twinge of pity for the plight of that girl’s family, but he was powerless to help his own family, let alone someone else’s. In the slums where they lived, leukemia was a lifelong disease with no hope for a cure.

As the driver spoke, they arrived at the place, which was clearly dilapidated, and they could hear a girl’s weeping inside. Yes, the girl was alone in the house at the moment, as her brother required treatment and was not at home.

Kang Yue listened silently to the driver’s story. One couldn’t really blame others. It’s like birds in the same forest flying away when disaster strikes. It was an entirely rational decision. This was easily understood even for couples who were not yet married.

It was just sad for the woman involved. After being together for so long, to be abandoned by another must be incredibly hard to overcome. Her brother had such a serious illness and it was extremely difficult to get him cured; life had not spared her in the slightest.

Kang Yue felt that, at times, she was very lucky herself. But now, without hesitation, because the other party needed money and they needed that woman, that was enough. If she was beautiful, could manage chopsticks, and could drink alcohol, there would be no problem.

Shen Dong thought the same, and knocked on the door, thinking that there were so many people suffering in the world, and he couldn’t lift each one up. He could only take it one step at a time.

Being able to offer this opportunity was like giving them a hand. As long as they were willing to work, they would certainly be able to do it.

The girl inside surely heard the noise and immediately stopped crying, in evident pain. Could she not even cry now?

"Who is it?" the girl asked, her voice tinged with sobs. It would move anyone who heard it. In the presence of a normal man hearing such sobbing could stir compassion, making him want to embrace her.

"Miss Su, please open the door. We have something to discuss with you," Kang Yue said, knowing that as a woman, it would be more convenient for her to address certain matters. Now it was up to the other party to decide whether they were willing. After hearing these words, the person inside was silent for a few seconds before opening the door. They saw a girl with swollen red eyes, but the rest of her was exceptionally beautiful.

Such a beauty could be abandoned? That seemed unbelievable.

Even Kang Yue, who had seen many beautiful women, felt a pang of sympathy seeing this distressed woman and thought it unfair that such a beauty should grow up in such a place, a place that didn’t befit her at all. That such a woman lived here for so long, and then to lose her beloved due to these circumstances.

And how could she be of a completely different character? The woman across from her looked too pure, pure as a white lotus flower, while she herself was like a réd rose, too enchanting. Standing together, one would find it hard to judge who was prettier?

Instantly, Kang Yue felt a sense of crisis and glanced at Shen Dong, who was undoubtedly captivated by the woman.

The woman was very scared. In these days, the pressure from her parents had become the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and she had no clarity on how her future days would unfold.

"What do you want with me..." Miss Su said fearfully, since she had no idea how this group knew about her and even her name. A troubling thought crossed her mind.

Could her parents have sold her? She felt extremely desolate but could only brace herself and speak up. Clearly only twenty-two and still so young, she was now forced to accept such treatment.

Miss Su’s sadness was very real. She had thought she could escape the slums, but reality had slapped her in the face.

"How we know is not important," Shen Dong said, hoping she would listen. "May I ask if Miss Su would invite us in for a cup of tea? We have something important to discuss with you and hope you won’t refuse. Besides, we think you might be interested in what we have to say. You seem to be in need of money right now, and we can help you make money quickly. I wonder if you would be willing to give it a try."

He spoke so straightforwardly because there was no need for beating around the bush with such a woman. First, they would wait to see her reaction.

It was hard not to feel for such a woman, but they had a task to do that day—to find a few suitable women. If Miss Su could do the job, then, considering her beautiful face, they could offer her a higher commission.

Upon hearing this, Miss Su’s wariness skyrocketed. These people didn’t seem like good folks. They couldn’t be planning to deceive her into some unsavory activities, could they? But when she thought about how desperately she needed money, as long as she could get money, whatever it was, she felt dejected that people were coming to find her so unexpectedly.

"Ha, in my life, I would rather not sell my body," Miss Su declared firmly, although she was incredibly unsettled inside because she had no idea to what lengths her parents would go, perhaps even willing to sell her one day.
