Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Should we give the money or not?

"You really dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!" Hu Xueli was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder.

On the other hand, Tao Erge seemed to see room for negotiation and became excited again.

Having come this far, Tao Erge decided to go all in and take a gamble.

If you win the gamble, you'll become rich and even be able to marry a concubine to keep warm.

Even if he loses the bet, there's no real loss. He'll stick to his previous idea: sell his daughter, Tao Yingying, to the White House—killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Tao Erge slowly sat down on the steps.

He puffed on his pipe and said, "Don't take my daughter away, not even for a single word less than 500 silver dollars."

"You stinking rickshaw puller, how dare you be so arrogant? You're fucking asking for it!" One of the patrolmen really wanted to punch Tao Erge.

Hu Xueli didn't want to argue any further, and said sternly, "Go and get 500 yuan."

These words caused such shock that a pin drop could be heard.

Holy crap! 500 yuan? You really want it?

Tao Erge was stunned for a moment, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears, and then he was overjoyed.

Although he had considered that the other party was rich and he could extort money from them, he did not expect that he would actually succeed.

Immediately, Tao Erge grinned and laughed, revealing a mouthful of uneven, yellow teeth that were disgusting.

Tao Yingying also shuddered, staring at Hu Xueli in disbelief, her colorless beautiful eyes once again brimming with tears.

My frozen heart thawed again, filled with gratitude.

500 yuan can buy ten maids.

He actually went to such lengths for a poor girl like her.

In Tao Yingying's eyes, this wasn't money at all; it was saving her life.

A thousand words cannot express my gratitude.

"Sister Shirley, thank you... thank you."

Tao Yingying knelt down in front of Hu Xueli with a thud, kowtowing and expressing her gratitude.

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face like a dam bursting, and she broke down in tears.

Hu Xueli hurriedly pulled Tao Yingying's arm, her eyes slightly red.

She kept comforting her, saying, "My dear sister, it's all over now, everything is over."

The people around were so shocked that their mouths were agape; they could have fit eggs in them.

incredible.

For the sake of Tao Yingying, the other party actually agreed to Tao Erge's exorbitant demands.

500 yuan! That's 500 yuan!

Even if Tao Yingying had gold plating on her bottom, she wouldn't be worth that much money.

For them, this was an astronomical sum, unbelievable.

For a moment, everyone looked at Tao Erge with envy, jealousy, and hatred. They never expected that this guy would actually succeed in extorting money.

In the crowded courtyard, those watching the commotion were at a loss for words.

Having made her decision, Hu Xueli stopped talking nonsense.

He took 500 yuan directly from the box.

He looked coldly at Tao Erge and said, "Write a contract of servitude, and from now on you and Tao Yingying will have nothing to do with each other. If you get entangled with her again in the future, you know what will happen to you."

Tao Erge nodded happily and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He never expected that a money-losing company could make so much money; it was truly a blessing from God.

After pressing her fingerprints, Hu Xueli threw down the silver dollar and pulled Tao Yingying away from the tenement.

Sitting in the rickshaw, Tao Yingying glanced at the dilapidated courtyard that resembled a den of iniquity, sighed softly, and vowed never to turn back.

After Hu Xueli left, everyone looked at the gleaming silver dollars in Tao Erge's hand, and their eyes revealed greed.

"Ge Erdan, now that you've made a fortune, you have to treat us neighbors to a celebratory feast!"

"That's right, this is the hard-earned money from selling my daughter!"

'I'll never have to worry again in this life.'

"Don't worry, I'll definitely treat you to a meal."

After saying that, Tao Erge hugged the 500 silver dollars tightly, looked at everyone's eyes, and went into the room without saying a word, closing the door behind him.

These days, you can buy a maid for only 50 silver dollars.

Marrying a widow only costs 15 silver dollars.

Ge Erdan, a rickshaw puller, sold his daughter for 500 silver dollars.

How beautiful could the daughter of a stinky rickshaw driver be?

Is it inlaid with gold or jade?

This incident caused an instant sensation.

Soon, the news spread among the rickshaw pullers.

Not only that, people like Er Gouzi promote their products every time they bring in a customer.

His words were full of sarcasm, but even more so, they were tinged with jealousy.

We're both rickshaw pullers, so why can your daughter be sold for 500 yuan?

God is unfair!

The story became increasingly outlandish, eventually escalating to the point that Tao Erge's daughter had been sold for 5000 silver dollars.

It really is Liliyuan Shangpu.

A lowly rickshaw puller suddenly received 500 silver dollars, which aroused the greed of many people.

Upon hearing that Tao Erge had made a fortune, the Zhou family, his former in-laws, came to their door without saying a word and demanded 40 silver dollars from them.

Tao Erge became a celebrity.

Back in the courtyard, Hu Xueli pulled Tao Yingying to kneel in front of Shen Hao.

This startled Shen Hao, who hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Hu Xueli didn't dare to look up and took out Tao Yingying's indenture.

He whispered, "Tao Yingying's father, Tao Erge, wanted 500 silver dollars, or he would sell Tao Yingying to the White House. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I agreed."

"Sir, I know I went too far. I'll keep this money on me from now on and pay it back slowly."

Tao Yingying hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master, this money is on me. Don't blame Sister Xue Li. I will repay it as a servant for the rest of my life."

Watching the two women rush to apologize.

Shen Hao smiled and helped the two women up, saying, "Get up, Xue Li, you did nothing wrong."

It's just 500 yuan.

"Don't even mention 500, even a thousand silver dollars would be worth a fortune if it could bring you, Yingying, home."

Upon hearing this, Tao Yingying was moved to tears.

She felt immense gratitude towards Shen Hao and was willing to follow him wholeheartedly for the rest of her life.

He wouldn't even hesitate to let her die.

At this moment, Shen Hao was her everything.

Shen Hao hadn't expected Tao Erge to dare ask for 500 yuan.

However, the money spent on taking a concubine would eventually yield a huge return, so Shen Hao wasn't angry.

Without the critical hit rebate, Shen Hao would definitely go berserk.

Damn it, how dare a stinking rickshaw puller talk like that?

After comforting Hu Xueli and Tao Yingying.

Shen Hao said again, "Now that we've settled things, let's get married tonight. We're all family, so let's keep it simple."

"Which of you two will go first?"

"Yingying, you go first."

"Sister Shirley, you go first."

The two women spoke at the same time;

This matter involves status.

Whoever gets married first becomes the second wife; that doesn't sound bad.

Whoever enters first will become the older sister.
