Her two sons would not want much as long as they could have a good meal anyway.
“You… You guys… Sigh, you… I really can’t control you anymore.” Old Man An pretended to sigh. He left his fish soup untouched and stood up to return to his room.
He thought that if he could really sell An Jiuyue’s child, he would not have to drink such foul fish soup anymore.
“Mother, Father has agreed.”
When the two sons watched their father leave, they looked at their mother happily.
“Hurry up and go to An Jiuyue’s place to take a look. She must have run out of money after the flood, right? Let’s talk to her about selling her children. She might even be grateful to us.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go to An Jiuyue’s place later to check things out.”
There was a look of determination in Aunt Wang’s eyes. She was ready to go all out just to eat good food.
“We have to make her hand over that brat this time. If she doesn’t sell him, we’ll snatch him. I don’t believe that we can’t win against her!”
She did not know that Qian Jiyun and Qian Yiyun were living in An Jiuyue’s house. She felt that she could snatch An Jiuyue’s child if she went all out with her two sons.

In fact, she felt that she might even be able to snatch more than one child. An Jiuyue had so many children around her—it would be difficult for her to keep an eye out for everyone.
“I’ll go and take a look first. If she doesn’t agree to it, we’ll snatch the child tonight while everyone in the village is asleep!”
She told her sons.
“Alright!”
An Da and An Er’s eyes sparkled.
As long as they sold An Jiuyue’s child, they would be able to live a good life.

“I’m curious, though. Why does Minister He want An Jiuyue’s children? Is it because they’re good-looking?”
An Da could not resist asking.
“That’s right, Mother. What’s going on?” An Er also asked, puzzled.
“I heard that many people in town are throwing their children away. Minister He can pick up a child easily. Why does he want An Jiuyue’s son?
“Is it because An Jiuyue’s son is good-looking? Or because he is especially obedient and sensible?”
“Well…”
Now that they mentioned it, Aunt Wang found it puzzling too.
However, she was a snobbish woman who only cared about money.
“Why should we care so much? It’s fine as long as we can get the money. As for why Minister He wants An Jiuyue’s son, what has that got to do with us?”

Qian Jiyun, who had gone to chase after a spotted deer, returned quickly.

“What are you…”
When An Jiuyue heard his approaching footsteps, she retracted her hand that was about to place the herbs into her space and looked up in the direction of his voice.
Qian Jiyun was not carrying a spotted deer, but two young deer. It was obvious that they had just weaned.
“Why did you catch this?”
She placed the herbs into the bamboo basket and strode over to ask him.
I don’t eat such young deer. I didn’t expect Qian Jiyun to even… Wait!
“It’s still breathing. It’s alive?”
Her two sons would not want much as long as they could have a good meal anyway.
