  "You are lying there is no way my elder daughter would do something like that!" Mother Zhu wasn't willing to listen to a thing that Xiang Bei said after all her daughter was filial and she know how to take care of the family quite unlike that worthless mer-son of hers. There was no way Zhu Cheng would do something like selling the children of their family. After all these children were the future of this Zhu family and couldn't be harmed in the least, her eldest daughter couldn't be this heartless, can she?

  However, Mother Zhu's hopes were doomed to fail as second sister Zhu gritted out. " The document is real, eldest sister has really abandoned her family and sold every child of our bloodline." When Second Sister Zhu said those words, her entire face was twisted as she shook her head, her sister was really good. She sold not only her kids but also put her kids on the line, how can she do that? If she wanted to sell the children from the first branch she was free to do so but who gave her the right to sell the kids from the second branch?

  " No! That…… You can't take my kids!" Second brother in law Zhu snapped as he stood boldly in front of the mammies. Unlike his brother in law, he didn't give birth to mers but a son and a daughter, both of them could bring him great glory in the future, how can he allow anyone to snatch his kids away from him? His children weren't like those worthless mers of his brother in law! " You can't take my kids, I never agreed to it and neither did my wife, how can you snatch our kids away? If you want money go and get it from the first branch for what are you snatching the children of the second branch."

  " For what huh?" said Xiang Bei as she peered over Second sister Zhu's shoulder and smiled like a vial woman she was, " For the reason that your family is yet to separate, and before leaving your sister even told me that you and your wife have been living off her for a long time, if not for you —— she would have definitely saved enough money to pay me back. So, it was time to pay back what you own her now, simple as that."

  Second sister Zhu's face went slack as her husband was pushed aside by the mammies at Xiang Bei's order. The Zhu family kicked up a fuss but no matter how much they cried and tried to stop the mammies, they were like a force that they couldn't even touch. The mammies dragged the kids from their rooms and they weren't the least bit kind in doing so, the kids who were dragged out like they were a bunch of animals shouted and cried for their parents and grandparents.

  Who tried their best to save them but each time they tried to get close to the mammies they would smack them back and before they knew it the loud and boisterous screaming of the kids attracted the villagers and soon their house was surrounded by the gossipy villagers who shook their heads at the sight while some watched the fun happening with great glee.

  A few months ago they were really upset with the three-storey house that the Zhu family has built back then their husbands called them useless. Now they finally got a chance to clap back at their husbands, heh…… so what they were useless, at least they weren't selling their kids!

  Xiang Bei did not want to attract the attention of the villagers but the children of the Zhu family were really too damn loud, looks like she has to get a strict mer to teach them how to act in the tavern or they will create a ruckus every day.

  The Zhu family pleaded and requested … promising that they would pay the money back but no matter how much they pleaded, Xiang Bei didn't stop and took the kids away right in front of their eyes. Once she was gone even the gossipy villagers left, after all they needed to go back home and tell this to their husbands as well!

  Silence reigned in the Zhu family's courtyard before second brother in law lunged at the eldest brother in law and scratched his face. "It's because of your wife! If she wanted to frolic around she should have done it with her own money! Why did she have to drag my kids into this mess? I want my son back! Give me my son back!"

  At first, the Eldest brother in law only resisted but later on, he too started to punch and hit Second brother in law Zhu. " If you have the guts to hit me, go and get those fifty taels and save your children!" He pushed Second brother in law harshly to the ground and kicked him in the stomach. " You think you have the right to hit me? You and your wife kept leeching on my wife's money for years. She didn't say anything wrong if not for you and your good for nothing wife, my wife would have saved the money to save her life! You only lost your kids but I lost my wife and children together! What are you hitting me for! It's because of your laziness that I am like this!"

  The mess in the Zhu family escalated further and further, second brother in law left the house in a huff and soon divorced his wife after a long messy fight, then got married to a rich old woman whose husband was dead, however when he was married over… his parents told the rich woman that he was really fertile and could give birth to sons. However, after his second marriage, he only gave birth to mers and was beaten to death.

  Eldest brother in law Zhu became crazy and jumped in the river, even his body couldn't be recovered.

  Mother and Father Zhu fell sick one after another and for treating them second sister Zhu had to take on all sorts of odd jobs but she was crushed another a huge baggage that she was carrying by a freak accident and the elderly who was sick and couldn't get out for the bed ….slowly died after starving for days.

  Even in their last moment, no one came to visit them and once their corpses turned bad and they were dumped in the mass grave by the villagers.
