Chapter 2198: Want to Sell Song Le


Shu Yu crouched down and looked at Wei Tang, whose body was half-slumped on the ground. Her mouth twitched.

It wasn't that serious, so why was he lying there motionless? It was as if any movement would accelerate the poison's effects.

Wei Tang quivered and urged, "Miss, please ask your questions quickly."

You seem quite anxious.

Shu Yu asked, "What was your purpose for coming here?"

Wei Tang, who genuinely didn't dare to play any tricks, spilled the beans like a rattling bean, "I really came to pick up Gou Wa. However, I'm not here to take him home and raise him. I'm broke and want to bring him to sell him."

Aunt Hong's eyes widened in an instant, and she grabbed him and slapped him hard, "You heartless wretch! Are you even human? Gouwa has such a miserable life, growing up without parents and suffering. And in the end, you want to deceive and sell him? You beast, you're inhumane! Why hasn't lightning struck you down yet, you beast?"

"Ah, ah, ah, stop hitting me! I'm being poisoned," Wei Tang cried out while dodging the blows.

Shu Yu coldly watched Aunt Hong strike him. Once she vented her anger, she comforted her to take a break.

Aunt Hong was already wiping her tears. If she hadn't brought Gouwa to the small courtyard in the south of the city to be cared for by her uncle years ago, now that Wei Tang had come to their door, her son and daughter-in-law would have taken the opportunity to hand the child over to him. By then, Gouwa would have been sold, and she couldn't imagine the hardships he would face. Thinking of this, Aunt Hong wished she could beat Wei Tang to death.

Fortunately, fortunately, Gouwa was with his uncle from the Song family now. Fortunately, she had made the right choice years ago.

Wei Tang clearly felt the death stares from the two people in front of him and couldn't help but shrink back. He then reminded them in a low voice, "I've told you everything I know. You can't beat me up, or else I won't cooperate."

"Dare you! If you don't cooperate honestly, you can look forward to dying from the poison," Aunt Hong sneered.

Wei Tang felt the burning sensation in his stomach intensify, and he hurriedly used his eyes to urge Shu Yu. "Do you have any other questions?"

"Is Gou Wa's mother really dead?" Shu Yu asked.

Wei Tang remained silent for a moment, then shook his head under Aunt Hong's astonished gaze. "I don't know, she might be dead, or maybe not."

"Explain it clearly!"

Wei Tang gulped and then hurriedly said, "She ran away, disappeared."

Seeing Shu Yu's furrowed brow, he had to start from the beginning.

Several years ago, after Da Zhuang's death, Wei Tang had set his sights on his own sister.

While Wei Shi's appearance wasn't particularly alluring, she had a modest and delicate charm. Before getting married, she did a lot of work at home and had little to eat, so she hadn't shown her beauty yet.

However, after marrying Song Da Zhuang, she gradually gained some weight.

Though still thin, her features had improved. After giving birth to Gouwa, Aunt Hong had taken care of her during her confinement, and she even looked somewhat fair.

Therefore, when Song Da Zhuang passed away, Wei Tang thought his sister could still bring benefits to the family, so he instigated their parents to arrange a remarriage.

Coincidentally, there was a wealthy merchant from out of town who wanted to get married, and he had his eye on Wei Shi. The Wei family was overjoyed and immediately took Wei Shi away from the Hong family to become in-laws with the merchant.

When Wei Shi married Song Da Zhuang, they had only received a meager dowry of five taels of silver.

Now, with a rich suitor, their demands were much higher. They knew that once the merchant got married, he would take Wei Shi away, so, for a future life of prosperity and luxury, the Wei family requested the merchant to take them along.
