When Zheng Fu opened his mouth and offered to sell the children, Hua Manman was taken aback.
She looked at the children, who were covered in bruises. 'In this wretched feudal society, people can be legally bought and sold.'
Zheng Fu must have bought these children from someone else, which was why he dared to torment them so brazenly.
Hua Manman asked him how much he wanted.
She expected him to ask for an exorbitant price.
However, Zheng Fu quoted a rather fair price.
"These five boys, five taels of silver each. Twenty-five taels in total."
A mere twenty-five taels was naturally nothing to Hua Manman, but she felt that the opera troupe leader before her was up to no good.
Just as she was hesitating over whether to spend the silver to buy the poor children, Li Ji walked over.
His gaze swept over Zheng Fu's face, seeing through the man's scheme in an instant.
Zheng Fu was indeed up to no good.
