The woman was already quite frightened by Chu Nanli's words.
But Chu Nanli still didn't plan to let them off.
"Since this child is your own, it only seems fair that you provide this money, right?"
This couple hadn't expected so much.
All they did was see that they had birthed a useless liability, and not wanting to spend money to raise it, they found out about this place.
Thinking the people here were all great Samaritans, they took advantage of the night to leave the child here, knowing that the people in this manor would definitely not neglect him.
When the child grew to seven or eight years old, they planned to come back to recognize him and take him home to help support their family.
Eventually, they would sell him off to collect some dowry.
In any case, they wouldn't be at a loss.
Yet, they clearly hadn't anticipated that Chu Nanli would act like this.
She even turned around to ask them for silver!
