She didn't believe a word Ma Xiulian said, but she didn't want to disrespect her either. So she told Sanni who was tending to the fire, "Sanni, come over and cook."
Then she followed old lady Li into the house.
Old lady Li carefully closed the door and said in a low voice, "Chunhua, there's a family in the ravine who wants to buy a girl to ghost-marry their deceased son. They specifically said they wanted someone who could read. I think Sanni would be perfect."
"No!" Li Chunhua immediately shook her head.
If her mother-in-law finds out that she sold Sanni, she would surely kill her!
Old lady Li spread her fingers, "They're willing to pay fifty yuan!"
Li Chunhua was taken aback, "Fifty yuan?! That much?!"
Her own dowry back in the day was only thirty yuan!
