General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 1389 Money or Daughter? (1)

Ji Xiaowu nodded.

"You are right, but those are their families. How can they repay their families for raising them?"

Shuangxi was stunned and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Ji Xiaowu rubbed Shuangxi's head. "Go gather all the girls together, I'll ask them what they think."

Shuangxi nodded, took the order and ran towards Jinxiu Pavilion. Wuming directly picked up his wife and jumped a few times to reach Jinxiu Pavilion.

Ji Xiaomu slowly went out in a carriage. When she arrived at Jinxiu Pavilion, Long Shiyu had already heard the news and came over.

Just in time to meet Ji Xiaomu, Long Shiyu and Ji Xiaomu looked at each other and knew that there would be a battle today.

When they walked into Jinxiu Pavilion, the girls were already waiting. As soon as they saw Ji Xiaou, they immediately knelt down in front of her.

"Madam." They knelt in shame in front of Ji Xiaomu.

"What's going on?" Ji Xiaomu raised her eyebrows and walked over slowly.

"Madam, we..." The girls looked at each other, too embarrassed to see Mrs. Ji.

"We shouldn't have told our parents..."

"This is a major event in your life. It is only natural to tell your parents. I won't blame you for this." Ji Xiaomu said slowly.

"But the problem now is that your parents are asking for a dowry of 1,000 taels. This is actually not a big problem, but I want to know what you think."

Ji Xiaomu’s words made the girls freeze.

The girls also split into two groups.

"Ma'am, we don't want to fulfill their wish!"

"Madam, no matter what, they are still our parents..."

Ji Xiaomu looked at them, and Long Shiyu remained silent. This kind of question was indeed difficult to determine.

On the one hand, there is the grace of raising them. Even if the family does not value them, they are not so bad that they do want to use their daughters to get a high bride price and change the current situation at home.

Ji Xiaowu could understand, so she just wanted to know how many people had this idea.

"Madam, their parents are here." Outside the door, the doorman pointed at the girls and reported to Mrs. Ji.

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people rushed in and knelt in front of Ji Xiaomu.

"Madam, we are not blackmailing you. It's just that our family cannot afford a decent dowry..." An old woman knelt in front of Ji Xiaomu and said miserably.

After one person started, the people behind him also began their performances.

"Madam, we don't want to sell our daughter. Although we do want more betrothal gifts, we are from a poor family and they are all from wealthy families. To them, this little bit of betrothal gift is just a drop in the bucket..."

"Madam, we have several children in our family and we really can't afford to raise them! Just agree to our request, Madam..."

"Madam, I have old parents and young children to take care of. I also have two parents who are unable to work and need my support. My daughter's betrothal gift is our family's life-saving medicine..."

Seeing them all saying that their family conditions are not good and they cannot afford dowries, but they still hope to use their daughter's betrothal gifts to improve their families, it makes people's veins bulge when they hear them.

Ji Xiaowu looked at them slowly, then turned back to the girls. "What do you mean?"

"We..." The girls couldn't help but tear up when they heard what their parents said.

I clearly didn't tell them this yesterday, but now it seems that their idea from the beginning was to exchange them for the bride price.

Under the pretext of doing good for them...
