The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 846 - 333: Screw Your Tragic Perfection (Part 3)

"Daniu, what are you thinking about? Did you hear what your mother said?"

Old Lady Han had been nagging for a long time, only to see her usually obedient eldest daughter staring blankly without saying a word.

She suddenly got a bit angry and slapped Ms. Hetian hard on the back.

Ms. Hetian was still lost in thought and was suddenly hit, causing her whole body to shake.

Under the impact, Ms. Hetian staggered a few steps before barely regaining her balance.

"Mother? Why did you hit me?"

Ms. Hetian lifted her head, feeling both aggrieved and puzzled.

And the biggest question in her heart was—

Was it really me who in the past sacrificed my husband and son for the sake of my family?

How could I possibly be such a top-grade person?

Although Ms. Hetian didn’t really know what "top-grade" meant, that term just popped into her head.

"I said, your brother is sick! He needs to see a doctor!"

Old Lady Han, seeing her daughter’s pitiful expression, felt a bit guilty.

She quietly retracted her palm, which was aching, secretly murmuring: I hit too hard earlier and it even hurt my own hand.

Old Lady Han only cared about herself, never considering whether her daughter, hit so hard without cause, was in pain.

"Sick?"

Ms. Hetian’s mind flickered, suddenly remembering, yes, this morning, little brother did say he wasn’t feeling well, dizzy, and was even muttering nonsense.

Those symptoms seemed like a fever.

Why "seemed"? Because Ms. Hetian suddenly gained a lot of knowledge, including how to diagnose an illness.

Even though Ms. Hetian didn’t understand why she suddenly knew how to perform inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, she just could.

Just like that year, when she didn’t know she was pregnant yet still went to her family’s home to harvest wheat, overtired and exhausted, feeling detached and numb.

But she was still able to instinctively, skillfully harvest crops until she fainted, bleeding all over.

Huh?

Why did I suddenly think of this?

Moreover, her heart ached intensely.

She had a feeling that when she woke up back then, hearing about the miscarriage, she wasn’t this furious!

Yes, it wasn’t just sadness; there was an inexplicable mix of anger.

Ms. Hetian shook her head vigorously, thinking she must have run into a ghost today, behaving so strangely?

But her own matters can wait, the situation with her little brother is more urgent.

"Yes, your brother is sick, he needs to see a doctor, and he also needs to eat something with some fat content—" So, why not sell your son Xiao Bao.

Old Lady Han saw the familiar worry in her eldest daughter’s eyes, and she knew that this daughter was concerned about Yaozong.

And as long as she cared about Yaozong, even if she was reluctant to part with her son, she would sell him!

Old Lady Han had this kind of confidence.

Because in her opinion, Tian Daniu was still young, and she wasn’t barren; even if Xiao Bao were sold, she could give birth to more children in the future.

Besides, He Erniu hadn’t been heard from in months; nobody knew if he was even alive.

Even if He Erniu were alive, since he hadn’t returned for so long, with not even a word, Old Lady Han had reasons enough to have her eldest daughter remarry!

Selling Xiao Bao in advance would make it easier when Tian Daniu remarried.

The more Old Lady Han thought about it, the more she felt selling the child was the best option!

Ms. Hetian, however, didn’t catch Old Lady Han’s underlying meaning; her mind was entirely focused on her "sick" brother.

"Mother, I understand! I’ll go check on Yaozong right away!"

Ms. Hetian spoke to herself and left her mother, heading directly toward her brother’s house.

Old Lady Han was dumbfounded and shouted at Ms. Hetian’s retreating figure, "You’re going to see Yaozong? You, you’re not a doctor! What’s the use of you seeing him!"

I wanted you to sell the child to get some good food for your brother, not for you to go see him!

Old Lady Han was a bit annoyed, stomping her feet where she stood before following after.

It wasn’t that she was afraid Ms. Hetian would find out Tian Yaozong was faking illness, but she didn’t want to waste time.

Old Lady Han knew her daughter all too well, having always had a firm grip on Ms. Hetian.

Even if Ms. Hetian found out she was being deceived by her mother and brother, as long as Old Lady Han put on a show of shedding a few tears and Tian Yaozong said a few soft words, Ms. Hetian would immediately cave in.

Old Lady Han just wanted to sell Xiao Bao as soon as possible.

If by any chance Ms. Hetian delayed, and the buyers had already gotten enough people, how could she manage to sell Xiao Bao, a six-year-old child, at a high price on the treacherous road of fleeing famine?!
