The foolish husband that he had exchanged for a pound of flesh had a huge secret hidden in him. What choice would Zhou Yu, who was also plagued by secrets, make when faced with the trouble behind him? Zhou Yu: Are you leaving? A certain man: What is Yuyu talking about? He tilted his head. [Zhou Yu: Don't play dumb, I know you're fine.] [A certain man: I don't understand…] He hugged his wife. What was silly about it? Losing his wife was the most foolish thing.
Wu Zhou Village, spring.
"Idiot."
"I'll beat you to death."
"Snatching my food."
A group of children surrounded a slightly older youth and walked towards him with mud in their hands. Their faces were filled with unknowing malice.
When the adults around saw this, they only frowned and did not say anything. In any case, that was an idiot from outside the village and not from their village. Even if he was beaten to death, no one would come to seek justice.
The young man held his head and bared his teeth at the children, clumsily protecting himself.
"Who told you to come to our village? You're an idiot."
"Yes, my mother said that he came to our village to steal food. A few days ago, he stole the cake that Er Niu was holding. I wanted to eat it but she didn't give it to me. I heard that there was meat in it."
" She deserves it. Who asked her to not let us eat meat? Her mother is a big widow, so she's just a little widow."
"My mother said that when a girl grows up, she will be sold to exchange for money for me to marry a wife. Er Niu is the same. Her mother will sell her to exchange for money in the future. That's why she eats."
"Then why isn't Sister Yu married?"
"Who knows? Why don't we give this fool to her in exchange for some meat from Sister Yu?"
"Alright."
His only suggestion was approved by the group of children. They surrounded the fool and ran to Zhou Yu's house.
"Sister Yu, Sister Yu, we found someone and sold him to you. Can you exchange some meat for us?"
Zhou Yu frowned and looked at the child who ran into her house. She did not say anything.
"Where is he?"
Zhou Yu's voice was very cold. Coupled with her imposing manner, these children were usually afraid of her.
They swallowed their saliva, but when they thought of eating meat, they forcefully suppressed the fear in their hearts. They gathered together and pointed at the fool.
"It's him, it's him. Sister Yu, we'll sell him to you. Can you give us some meat to eat?"
Looking at the mud on the young man's body, Zhou Yu did not say anything. The children were anxious, afraid that she would disagree.
In this day and age, meat was not even available once a year. In the entire village, the only person who could eat meat from time to time was Zhou Yu.
If she didn't agree, their dream of eating meat would be shattered. Thinking about the fragrance of meat, they couldn't help but drool.
"Sister Yu, Sister Yu, look, he's actually quite good. He's very good-looking. You won't lose out if you buy him. At most, we'll ask for less meat, okay?"
The person who spoke was a child. He was also the first to suggest selling the fool to Zhou Yu in exchange for meat. Seeing that he was about to succeed, he could not help but become anxious.
As he spoke, the fool walked over. To be honest, he was really good-looking. At least Zhou Yu had lived for 16 years and had never seen anyone more handsome than him. However, what was the use of selling such a living person back? Was she going to leave him at home?
"Tell me how much meat you want."
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. She looked at the fool with a cold gaze without a trace of warmth.
They stood there and the children gathered together, discussing how much meat they wanted to eat and how much meat was appropriate.
After a long time, he finally turned around and looked at Zhou Yu as if he had made a decision.
"Sister Yu, how much meat can you give us?"
