Chapter 170: The Heart is Not Made of Flesh

Bai Ruozhu feigned surprise, "What? Your family is in difficulty and you have to sell Guizhi?"

Facing a woman as avaricious as Guizhi's mother, you couldn't easily reveal your flaws. Otherwise, she would endlessly exploit Guizhi.

Guizhi's mother was a bit embarrassed by Bai Ruozhu's gaze, coughed a few times and said, "I have no other choice, do I? Guizhi's older brother wants to get married and the bride's family requires a dowry. Our family is already impoverished. Even after scraping every cent together, it's not substantial."

"But, but you can't just sell Guizhi. If you do, she'll be estranged from your family for the rest of her life." Bai Ruozhu was so anxious that she was about to cry.
