Chapter 615: I will sell you

Shen Hanxing wanted to scold her mother even more but then her attention was diverted by her younger sisters who were fighting for the bowl of porridge that the two of them were holding, immediately Shen Hanxing stopped and then asked,  " Where did you get the porridge? Who gave it to you?"          

" No, daddy gave it to me! He even said that he wanted me to eat my fill!" Shen Ning who was the youngest of the two twins immediately chimed in after her older sister was done speaking.      

Once the two twins were done giving their own testimonies, they both turned to glare at the latter when they saw that the latter was telling a lie. Shen Yun immediately puffed her cheeks up and said, " I am the older one, I should be the one to eat this!"      

" I am the younger one, you should give the younger one a way as the oldest sister!" Shen Ning retorted, the two sisters were now ten years old and they were very much affluent in terms of vocabulary and retorts, neither of them was willing to give way to another!     

Even the people who were lying, sleeping and talking did not pay attention to the two young girls, after all in such conditions even a parent was willing to sell their kids off to a slave trader. What was surprising about two twins fighting for food? In fact, many thought that they were lucky to be born as daughters or else they would have been sold off by their mother by now.     

What the spectators did not know was that Mother Shen has already sold most of her kids and now only had four of them left, if not for them being young and no slave traders willing to buy these four kids at a decent price and was deliberately lowering the price she might really have sold them as well.      

After all, this was not her first time selling her kids and knew that even though the price for mers was not really high, it was enough for her to eat without working for three to four months with ease and the price of selling daughters was even higher.      

The only reason she was dragging her four kids with her was that she wanted someone to buy these kids at a decent price where she will not have to work, after all, she already had a daughter and a mer son who was married to a big and rich lady, there was no way her family line was going to end.      

" Since you two cannot decide then let me eat it," Shen Hanxing went ahead and snatched the bowl from her two sisters, she did not feel wronged or guilty at all. After all, she was her mother\'s most doted daughter, even her daddy did not dare to make a fuss with her, what can these two midgets do?      

By the time the two twins who were fighting for the bowl of porridge snapped out of their daze, they saw that Shen Hanxing almost finished eating the entire porridge and immediately burst into tears.      

" Elder sister is a bully! You ate our food!"      

" A bully!"      

The two girls were in sync as they scolded their sister but no matter how much they cried, there was nothing they could do now. Shen Hanxing already snatched their food and was even done eating it all, once she was done scraping even the last bit of rice grain from the porridge she threw the wooden bowl on the ground and glared at her two sisters before she fiercely scolded, " What are you crying for? So what if I ate your food? Can\'t you see that I …your eldest sister was roaming around the entire town while trying to look for a decent meal?"      

Then she scoffed and disdainfully added, " There is no need for you to be this annoying, the porridge was only a little bit how could you two have eaten it? You would have fought with each other till night like this."      

But no matter what Shen Hanxing said the two girls did not stop crying after all they have been hungry for so long and only now they got something to eat but their elder sister snatched the small meal from the two of them as well now what were they going to do? No wonder their daddies asked them to eat the meal as quickly as possible!      

" If you don\'t stop crying then I will sell you two to a slave trader right now! I will sell you even if the latter offers me a copper coin! Go ahead and cry now!" Seeing that the two of them were not stopping, Shen Hanxing was very annoyed. It was just a few mouthfuls of porridge was it worth crying for? What she very conveniently forgot was that her daddy already gave her a bowl of porridge earlier when her mother was eating which was why she should have been half fully unlike her sisters who were still starving.      

The two twins immediately stopped crying, they were young but because of the experience and life they have seen in their family, they already knew that Shen Hanxing was not bluffing with them after all, their family was prone to selling their kids. First, it was their nice elder brother, then it was their second brother and even the third brother was sold off… even their second sister who was a girl was sold off to an old man in the faraway village!      

If they did not stop crying then even if they were young, they would be sold off to a man!
