Surviving in this chaotic world was most important to him. He did not care about the lives of others. They were naturally not as important as his.

“Didn’t you hear? Ministry Councilor He offered 50 taels of silver to buy An Jiuyue’s son.”

He reminded his companions.

How much food could 50 taels of silver buy? If they could take An Jiuyue’s son away, they would be able to live a good life in the future.

“So many children are being thrown out now. Yet, Ministry Councilor He was willing to spend such a large sum of money to buy An Jiuyue’s son. That little thing must be likable.

“If we can sell those two little things, we won’t have to worry about money in the future.”

The man said sinisterly, completely unaware of the three pairs of murderous eyes staring at them from behind.

An Jiuyue frowned when she heard the man’s voice.

She found it familiar. It belonged to Brother Dog, whom she kicked because he wanted to board her bamboo raft without a care for his wife and daughters.

He had been holding a grudge against her and scolded her every time they met.

I didn’t even look for trouble with him, but this guy has the guts to come to my house to steal food! And as if that’s not enough, he even dares to have designs on my Zheng’er and Rong’er!

Just as she was about to attack, she heard the other men voice their disapproval.

“Brother Dog, what are you talking about? How can you think of something like that?”

“That’s right, Brother Dog. None of use would be willing to do this to An Jiuyue if not for the fact that we don’t have any food at home!”

“Stealing her food is immoral enough, but you still want to… Are you crazy?”

The other men were too ashamed to even speak of stealing An Jiuyue’s child. They would not have thought of stealing food from An Jiuyue’s house if Brother Dog had not approached them.

“Think about it. You have a child too. Would you be happy if someone comes to steal your children and sell them?”

“I would be!”

Brother Dog replied without hesitation.

If there was one less person in the house, there would be one less mouth to feed. He would be able to eat another bite. How could he not be happy?

Unfortunately, the ingrates at home were unwilling to leave. He had already said that he would find them a good family, but they were unwilling to leave. They cried and shouted, almost alarming the Chief.

It was not easy for him to plan to steal food from An Jiuyue’s house. He had always thought she must have a lot of leftover food.

He finally brought a few people with him, but they refused to listen to him!

“Who doesn’t want to have fewer mouths to feed at at home now? I’m annoyed just by looking at those people in my home. Whoever wants to take the children can do as they please! I can’t wait to kill them all!”

The other men gasped sharply at his words.

Is this something a husband or a father should say? He actually wants his children to die?

“Brother Dog, you…”

“I’m joking. I’m joking.”

Brother Dog also felt he had gone overboard. Some things should not be said out loud.

He smiled at everyone and said he was joking.

“In any case, I think An Jiuyue’s two sons can definitely be sold for good money. We won’t have to worry about food and drinks if we do it. So? Are you going to do it?”
