Chapter 411: Ruthless (1)
Chapter 411: Ruthless (1)
Upon hearing the change in tone from Mo Qingze, everyone followed his gaze simultaneously. When they saw Tang Xin holding the scissors, fiercely stabbing her own cheek with a determined expression, their eyes widened in shock, unable to utter a word.
One's appearance is a matter of utmost importance for a young girl. For a girl of merely ten-something years to resist her dismal fate in such an extreme manner showed that she had been pushed to the brink, with no better alternatives left.
"San'er, what are you doing? Put down the scissors!" Yu shi was terrified at the sight. She had pinned all her hopes on selling this face for silver. If it were damaged and couldn't fetch a good price, it would be like cutting her own flesh while alive!
"Don't come any closer! If you dare to approach, I'll completely ruin this face!" Seeing Yu shi rushing towards her to snatch the scissors, Tang Xin cautiously stepped back two paces. She applied more force to her grip, causing more blood to flow from the wound, a chilling sight to behold.
Seeing this, Yu shi dared not move. She couldn't understand why her stepdaughter, whom she could freely abuse, suddenly became so resolute. She cursed inwardly but didn't dare to relax. Hastily, she dragged the dazed Tang Zhuotou from the corner and urged him to persuade Tang Xin.
Although Tang Zhuotou was timid, he was not stupid. He naturally understood his daughter's intentions. Feeling guilty, he was both worried and saddened. The words he had been interrupted from earlier came out involuntarily, "San'er, Dad won't sell you anymore. Even if I have to sell everything, I won't sell you to repay the debt. Please, put down the scissors. Dad is begging you."
As he finished speaking, his strong sense of guilt turned into reality, and two lines of turbid tears fell from his pale face.
Tang Xin's heart trembled slightly. She moved her right hand holding the scissors, but did not release it. She looked expressionlessly at the grieving Tang Zhuotou and the extremely ugly-faced Tang Yumama, and said coldly, "Dad, if you really care about your daughter, just sell her to the Mo family. If you sell me for silver, you will repay the Tang family's nurturing over the past ten years!"

"You wicked girl, how dare you threaten your father with this kind of idea!" Before Tang Zhuotou could speak, Yu shi angrily jumped out and shouted at Tang Xin, "The Tang family has supported you for more than ten years, if you want to repay them, just listen to your mother, otherwise I will kill you right now."
The onlookers shook their heads. At this critical moment, Yu shi was still fixated on getting that large sum of silver, showing her utterly rotten nature. It would be best to avoid dealing with someone so money-obsessed in the future.
"You are a daughter of the Tang family, so you should obediently follow your parents' arrangements. If you dare to make trouble again, I won't spare you!"
Yu shi had no idea that her words and actions had deeply angered the villagers. She continued to pressure Tang Xin to put down the scissors through both threats and cajoling. The scissors not only pointed at Tang Xin's face but also hovered threateningly over her head.
Tang Xin looked at Yu shi with a cold smile, completely ignoring her shouting. She merely tightened her grip on the scissors, silently expressing her resolve to fight to the death. This frightened Yu shi as if someone had grabbed her by the throat, rendering her speechless.
Madam Yu, upon seeing the scissors against Tang Xin's face, realized she might have come in vain today. Seeing Tang Xin's determination, she sighed inwardly at the missed opportunity. Still, she tried to persuade her, "Miss Tang, please stop. If you keep pressing like this, you won't be able to rely on your pretty face to live a good life in the future."
