"So, Father decided to sell me."
"If he sold me to some ordinary family as a daughter‑in‑law, even with a decent, honest household, at most it'd be ten taels of Silver, and that's only because my face isn't bad and I'm quick with my hands and feet."
"If he sold me to a somewhat wealthier family as a maid, it'd just be a bit over twenty taels."
"Compared to two hundred taels, how is that even enough?" A gray shadow spread over the woman's face. "That was when my big brother, without even thinking, said that selling me to a brothel should fetch two hundred taels. He even said that with my looks, once I went to the brothel I'd definitely become an Oiran."
"Father agreed."
"No matter how I begged, he never relented."
