Knowing that her mother had passed away, her maternal family brought the news over, and she rushed back to her maternal family.
Of course, Mu Hin was the one who told her the details of her mother's illness.
She was not at her maternal family's house, but Mu Hin was.
After hearing about her mother's suffering, Mu Lan was furious. If she knew that her mother was in such a situation, she would definitely bring her mother here and take good care of her. Her mother would not have passed away at such a young age at the age of forty.
This was not the most important thing. The most infuriating thing was that when her mother had just been buried, her grandmother was too inhumane. She actually said that she wanted to sell her younger sister, Mu Hin, to an old widower in the village for twenty taels of silver.
On the surface, she meant that she would marry over, and the twenty taels of silver would be the wedding gift. However, Mu Lan knew that she was selling her younger sister.
In this day and age, people would gossip if they sold their daughters. That was why her grandmother found such an excuse.
Mu Lan had heard about the old widower. He had a wife before, but she was beaten to death by him.
He liked to gamble and beat people. He had a bad temper. Now that he was in his fifties, he wanted to marry a wife and have children. How could Mu Lan let her younger sister fall into such a fire?
If Mu Hin really married over, not only would she be ruined, but she might also lose her life in the future.
After all, he had beaten one wife to death first. Who knew if he would beat a second wife to death?
Of course, after she sold Mu Xin for 20 taels of silver, she could pay for her father's second wife and marry another woman. By then, she might even have a son. It would be good for her father to carry on the family line.
Mu Lan's father was also a good-for-nothing. He felt that Mu Lan's mother did not give birth to a son for him, which made him feel very embarrassed. Therefore, he did not like his wife. This time, Mu Lan's grandmother made such an arrangement for him, and he naturally agreed to it.
If he could really have a son, it would be even better. After he had a son, no one would laugh at him anymore.
Mu Lan was extremely disappointed in her family.
Even a beast would not do such a wicked thing.
This time, after returning home, Mu Lan had a big fight and directly brought Mu Hin back.
Mu Lan didn't want her younger sister to stay in that kind of family any longer. Naturally, he would not let Mu Hin suffer.
When Mu Lan brought Mu Hin back, the Mu family did not agree so easily. In comparison, Mu Lan had to negotiate and agree. She took out five taels of silver and Mu Hin could come back with her.
Five taels of silver was only Mu Lan's father's betrothal gift, so both sides had compromised.
However, Mu Lan had to give the five taels of silver to the Mu Family within half a month. Otherwise, she would directly take Mu Hin back and let her marry that old widower.
Compared to her younger sister's life, Mu Lan felt that five taels of silver was still acceptable.
Although she was unwilling to take out the five taels of silver, she knew that if she did not take it out, the Mu Family would probably really force her younger sister to marry that old widower.
After all, the Mu Family was extremely shameless. It was not impossible for them to do such a thing.
Naturally, she could not take out the five taels of silver. After thinking about it, she could only borrow it from Zhao Yun'er and return it to Zhao Yun'er when the time came.
…
Mu Lan was in a daze for a moment. She pulled herself out of the memory and then held Mu Hin's hand tighter.
