âZhang Dacheng? Whoâs that?â Zhou Ying asked in confusion.
Gu Chengrui found the name familiar, but he could not recall where he had heard it.
Zhang Qingqing looked at the twoâs reactions and felt both angry and wronged. She immediately shouted, âYou two, you two are too heartless. My father died for your family, and youâve already forgotten his name.â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? I donât remember anyone dying for us.â Zhou Ying replied in an unpleasant tone.
Gu Chengrui thought of something. He stood up and asked, âIs your father Zhang Dacheng, the one who died at the hands of the Qiao family on a ship in the winter two years ago?â
âAt least you guys have some conscience.â Zhang Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief.
She looked at Zhou Ying and said, âI know your restaurantâs business is good. Please save me and buy me; Iâll be your slave. Otherwise, Iâll be sent down a dead-end road.â
As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately chased her over. Seeing the situation in the courtyard, the leading woman went forward and pulled Zhang Qingqing up. âYou bitch, how dare you to run? How dare you rebel against me!â
âLet me go, let me go.â Zhang Qingqing saw the woman and immediately shouted in fear.
However, she was just a young girl who couldnât escape the womanâs grip.
In the end, she bit the back of the womanâs hand.
The woman screamed and let go of her hand, while Zhang Qingqing immediately hid behind Zhou Ying.
This gave Zhou Ying a headache.
At that moment, a white-haired man walked in and said, âDoctor Gu, Manager Zhou, sorry to have caused you two trouble. Sorry for bothering you. Iâll take her back now.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo, Iâm not going back. Grandpa, please donât sell me to my auntâs family in exchange for food. Zhang Qingqing immediately shouted.
Zhou Ying was also stunned when she heard that. She turned her head and asked, âItâs not your parents who want to sell you?â
âNo, my mother and brother didnât agree to sell me. Theyâve already locked them up.â
âShut up! Youâre not in a position to speak.â Zhang Laosan looked at Zhang Qingqing and scolded her.
âManager Zhou, Iâm sorry for the trouble,â he said to Zhou Ying.
After he finished speaking, he walked past her and was about to grab Zhang Qingqing. Gu Chengrui grabbed his arm and spoke up, âAs far as I know, when selling someone in the Ming Dynasty, one must have their parentsâ signatures.
âWhat youâre doing is against the law.â
Zhang Laosan was stunned for a moment and replied with a stiff face, âHer father is gone. As her grandfather, Iâve raised her for so many years. How can I not have the right to do that?â
âBut she still has a mother.â Gu Chengrui stared at him firmly.
âYouâ¦â Zhang Laosan was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand and beat him up, but he didnât dare to offend Gu Chengrui. Otherwise, if he had a headache or fever in the future, he wouldnât even have a place to get medicine.
However, the woman who had captured Zhang Qingqing before, Aunt Zhang, didnât have the same concerns. She directly came up and said, âWhat does it have to do with you guys?â
After she finished speaking, she tried to push Zhou Ying.
However, Zhou Ying had practiced martial arts before. Not only was Aunt Zhang unable to push Zhou Ying down, but she was also pushed away.
The woman stumbled back two steps and collided with Er Zhuang.
Er Zhuang was so frightened that he took two steps back and pounced on her. After pushing her down, he pressed his two front legs against her chest and bared his teeth at her while barking.
Aunt Zhang saw the sharp teeth in Er Zhuangâs mouth that shone under the sun and was so scared that she didnât dare to move. She could only close her eyes and shout, âHelp! Help! Father, please save me!â
âHahahaâ¦â
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter. Zhou Ying looked up and found that many people surrounded their courtyard..
