Laowu Yang Youzhao was terrified when he heard he was going to be sold, clutching Yang Zaizhao's hand and crying: "Fourth Sister, I don't want to be sold—"
What else could Yang Zaizhao do? At least she was older, and even if she were sold as a maid, maybe she could carve out a path to survival.
But Laowu Yang Youzhao was timid and young, and if he offended the master's family, he might not even survive.
She had to grit her teeth and agree.
Once Yang Zaizhao agreed, Yang's Father immediately went around the village asking if there were any traffickers looking to buy people.
He also found out the price for selling people and nearly sold Yang Zaizhao to a disreputable place. Thankfully, Clan Leader Yang intervened, saying it was acceptable to sell daughters if the family was in dire straits, but they must not be sold to dirty places, tarnishing the Yang family's reputation.
