Shen Luxi didn't expect that things would happen so quickly.

In the evening when she returned from Liujiacun, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a stranger sitting in the main hall.

She looked like a woman in her forties, wearing an indigo gown, a hairpin in her hair, a handkerchief in her hand, and a smile all over her face.

Shen Luxi recognized it at a glance.

Matchmaker Zhang.

Zhang, the matchmaker in town who specializes in proposing marriages to people.

In the previous life, this woman came to the door. She negotiated a price with Wang Guihua with a smile, and sold her to Zhou Yuanwai as a concubine for twenty taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Shen Luxi became angry for a moment, then suppressed it. Then her steps returned to normal and she walked slowly and unhurriedly into her hut.

As she passed the main room, she listened carefully to a few words.

"...Aunt Wang, I have seen this granddaughter of yours before. She has an upright appearance and is diligent in her hands and feet. She is more than capable of serving as a coroner..."

"...Mr. Zhou is a well-known figure in the town. He has a farm and shop at home. Your granddaughter will be blessed if she gets married..."

Wang Guihua's voice was very low and she couldn't hear clearly. She could vaguely hear words like "how much money" and "when".

Zhao Cuiping was also there, interjecting from time to time with excitement in his tone.

Shen Luxi stood at the door of his house with no expression on his face.

It came so quickly, this time several months earlier than in the previous life.

In my previous life, it came in autumn, but I don’t know why it came earlier in this life.

It seems that Zhao Cuiping took the initiative to find Zhou Yuanwai and arranged the sale in advance in order to collect Shen Jinbao's gambling debt.

Shen Luxi walked into the house and closed the door.

Liu Qiao Niang was twisting hemp rope in the house. When she heard the chatter and laughter outside, she looked a little uneasy: "Lu Xi, there is a matchmaker in the main room. Do you think..."

"Mom, I know."

Liu Qiaoniang stopped working, the hemp rope hung down, and was placed on her knees. Her voice was tight: "Could they be trying to get you..."

"Mom, don't panic." Shen Luxi sat down on the edge of the Kang, "If they want to sell me, I have to agree. I've already prepared for this. Don't go out and don't argue with them."

Liu Qiaoniang clutched the hemp rope until her knuckles turned white.

Shen Luxi patted her hand: "Trust me."

Liu Qiaoniang looked into her daughter's eyes. There was no fear in them, she was steady.

She took a deep breath and nodded.

Shen Luxi sat in the room and re-planned.

I originally planned to do it after a while, but now I can't wait.

Matchmaker Zhang came to talk to her today. If Wang Guihua nodded, she would probably sign a contract of sale in a short time.

As for the evidence, that's probably enough for now.

Copies of the property documents are available. Aunt Li and Aunt Sun in the village have witnessed Zhao Cuiping's abuse of Liu Qiaoniang and Shen Xiaoman and can testify. The gambling shop clerks in the town can also confirm Shen Jinbao's gambling.
