Chapter 497: Chapter 497 Auntie Sun Chapter 497: Chapter 497 Auntie Sun Ever since the failed attempt to murder Madam Xie, Auntie Sun, fearing retribution from Big Bull, had fled home in a state of terror. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, unsure of how Plague God might deal with her. Unable to sit still any longer, she began rummaging through every nook and cranny of the room, hoping to find some Silver to fund her escape.
Unfortunately, after all her efforts, she hadn’t found even a single Copper Coin.
Left with no choice, she gathered some of Mo Xiaoqiang’s finest clothes, wrapped them up, and prepared to take them to the pawnshop in town to exchange them for Silver for her travel expenses. Just as she was stepping out of the room, suddenly, she heard Big Bull’s voice at the front door, which terrified her to death. The Plague God had indeed followed her, so she hurriedly retreated back into her room, secured the door, climbed out the back window, and fled frantically toward the town.
Auntie Sun’s journey was difficult, and by the time she finally reached the town, Mo Xiaoqiang’s clothes only fetched her a few dozen Copper Coins at the pawnshop.
She was at her wits’ end.
Living outside required food and lodging, and both needed money. A few dozen Copper Coins could only last a few days, even with the strictest spending—how was she to cope?
After much thought, she realized that her only reliance was on Butcher Yu.
Without hesitating a moment longer, she headed straight to Butcher Yu’s house.
At first, Butcher Yu treated her very well, buying her clothes, jewelry, and Rouge and face powder every day, which delighted her immensely. She felt that escaping from the Mo family had been the right decision, believing she had found a good man in Butcher Yu and thinking that she would finally have a peaceful life, no longer needing to endure the hardships at the Mo family.
LIttle did she know, these days were short-lived.
This damned Butcher Yu, he actually started acting as a Procuress, seeking out various men for her, charging them a few dozen Copper Coins each. Because of the low fees, there were dozens of men lining up at her door every day, making her life miserable.
It was then that Auntie Sun realized why Butcher Yu had been so kind to buy her clothes and Rouge and face powder—he had planned from the start to package her for sale.
Every day, Auntie Sun was tormented by dozens of men, barely having time to eat. This life, worse than death, was even more bitter than her days in the Brothel.
Today, Auntie Sun finally caught up with Butcher Yu and argued with him all the way to the street.
Butcher Yu sneered contemptuously and said fiercely, “After all, you were also in the flesh trade before. I’ve been helping you make a fortune by bringing so many customers to you. You’re not even grateful, and you have the nerve to argue with me?”
Speaking of this only added fuel to her fire.
This Butcher, treating her like a cash cow, kept talking about all that money, yet not a single Copper Coin had reached her hands; it all went into his pocket.
Auntie Sun angrily said, “I don’t want to stay here anymore. Give me the money that belongs to me, and we can go our separate ways.”
Upon hearing this, Butcher Yu turned around, his eyes fiercely glaring at her: “You think you can just walk away after freeloading off me for so long? No way! Unless I break your legs, then I’ll let you go.”
Butcher Yu was essentially a rogue and a thug, accustomed to idleness. Recently, he had been a bit strapped for cash.
It just so happened that Aunt Sun delivered herself to his doorstep. Initially, he looked down on Aunt Sun’s background and was reluctant to take her in.
Ironically, when Aunt Sun first arrived, some of his shady friends came calling him to drink.
While drinking, he mentioned this situation, and those men, none of whom were good people, started throwing ideas around. One of them, a so-called friend, even suggested that since the woman had delivered herself to his doorstep, he might as well use her to make money, given her experience as a prostitute.
As the saying goes, the speaker means no harm, but the listener takes it to heart.
Hearing this devious advice, Butcher Yu was overjoyed and jumped high with excitement.
