305: Chapter 305: Two Hundred Taels of Silver 305: Chapter 305: Two Hundred Taels of Silver Liu Dazhuang’s eyes flashed with malevolence as he cracked a cold smile, showing his yellow teeth, “Gu Lao San, I’m advising you to be sensible and step aside.

If you go back now, you might still be able to get a share of the silver from your second brother, huh?

A hundred taels of silver, man, that’s enough to take care of seven or eight children in an ordinary family.

Aren’t you tempted?”

Gu Youyou inside the carriage was dumbfounded, “Damn, am I only worth a hundred taels of silver?”

Gu Lao San was indeed tempted for a moment, but his face quickly turned cold again, and he angrily said, “Do you think I’m like you?

A heartless beast who only sees money.

It’s not just a hundred taels of silver, even a thousand taels wouldn’t buy her.

Hand over the person.”

Liu Dazhuang was also furious and snorted, “The beast who sees money is your second brother, but your second brother was the one who came to me, not the other way around.

Hmm, you better not refuse the toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.

You should know that we are not ordinary human traffickers.”

Gu Lao San’s grip on his shovel tightened.

He certainly knew these people were not ordinary human traffickers.

And Gu Youyou, she really hadn’t expected to have been sold by her uncle and aunt, and the person who came to her rescue would be her third uncle?

In Gu Youyou’s eyes, both her second and third uncles were of the same ilk: her second uncle was outright unsavory, while her third uncle presented a better facade, concealing his true nature.

Gu Youyou saw that although Gu Lao San had fear in his eyes, he did not shrink back and showed no intention of leaving under threat.

The people opposite had also realized this and cursed their luck.

Though they weren’t afraid of trouble, they didn’t want to invite it.

Who would want to complicate what could be a simple transaction?

Gu Youyou unobtrusively moved her hand into her sleeve, reassuring herself that all her protective items were there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

If it came down to a fight, she believed she had a good chance of knocking down the big man unexpectedly.

“How can we get her released?” asked Gu Lao San.

Liu Dazhuang looked at him with contempt and said, “Our rules of trade are clear: if a seller has regrets, they have to pay double the silver.

I bought her from your Gu Lao Er for a hundred taels, so if you regret it, you have to pay me two hundred taels.

This deal of mine was done fair and square with a contract.

If you can produce two hundred taels, I will return her to you according to the rules.”

He didn’t believe that Gu Lao San could come up with two hundred taels of silver.

No farmer in Lotus Village could afford that much.

Gu Youyou also didn’t believe that Gu Lao San could produce two hundred taels of silver, yet his actions gave her some comfort.

Whether or not she could be rescued was one thing; whether they would try to rescue her was another.

But to everyone’s surprise, amidst Liu Dazhuang’s scornful sneer, Gu Lao San indeed pulled out two hundred taels of silver, two ingots each weighing a hundred taels, shining brilliantly.

“Here are two hundred taels of silver.

Release her!” said Gu Lao San.

Gu Youyou was so surprised that she stirred slightly, he really had two hundred taels.

Equally astonished was the human trafficker, who stood frozen as Gu Lao San stuffed the silver into his hand, then snatched the contract from his other hand and tore it to shreds.

“You…

you!”

How was this possible?

The burly man with a big knife hurriedly said, “Brother Liu, quickly check if the silver’s real.”

Yes, check if the silver’s real.

He had never seen such large ingots of silver before and hurriedly examined them, his eyes wide with shock.

“Brother Liu, is it real?”

Liu Dazhuang numbly nodded, saying, “It’s real.”

Meanwhile, Gu Lao San had already thrown down his shovel, hoisted Gu Youyou onto his back, and started running.
