Shen Shuangshuang glanced at Li Sanya.
"Your parents want to sell you, what can I do?" Well, after listening to this girl's story, she felt a little sympathetic.
But a little bit of sympathy would not let her go through this muddy water.
But Li Sanya heard hope in Shen Shuangshuang's tone.
"Yes! Yes!"
"Sister-in-law, buy me! I will be your slave!"
"I would rather be a slave than marry a cripple and be beaten like my second sister."
Shen Shuangshuang was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Li Sanya came to her for help because she wanted to buy her for herself.
She thought she would beg her to let her enter the workshop.
Then he asked the Li family to give up marrying her off and use her as a cash cow on the grounds that he had a job.
And she would not agree to such a request.
You can buy Li Sanya——
Shen Shuangshuang looked Li Sanya up and down.
The fourteen-year-old girl has a sallow face and thin muscles, withered and yellow hair, and the clothes on her body are all patched...
She knew that this girl was very hard-working, and her brain... didn't seem to be stupid.
"I can't answer you for the time being." After a moment, Shen Shuangshuang said.
She was short of men, and she felt a little sorry for the little girl.
But this Li Sanya has a special status, and she can't make a decision on this matter by herself.
Li Sanya raised his head suddenly.
"Sister-in-law, did you agree?!"
Shen Shuang's eyes were cold.
"I'm just considering it, not necessarily buying you."
Li Sanya's eyes fluctuated for a moment, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
"I - I can directly sign the deed of sale with the third sister-in-law, and the money will be as much as you can give the third sister-in-law!" he said.
Shen Shuangshuang was startled.
According to the laws of this era, it is not legal for parents to sell their children, especially adult children. Strictly speaking, it is legal to sell oneself.
Therefore, even if Li Dajiang and the Qian family wanted to sell Li Sanya, the deed of sale would only have Li Sanya's signature on it.
Li Sanya was willing to take the initiative to sign a contract of sale with her, and he could indeed follow her immediately without passing by Li's house.
But she didn't want to accept it directly.
"It's not about money." Shen Shuangshuang said.
Seeing that Li Sanya was about to speak again, Shen Shuangshuang asked, "When will that cripple come to your house?"
"Three days later." Li Sanya said anxiously.
"You come to me tomorrow afternoon and I will tell you the results then." Shen Shuangshuang said.
"Third sister-in-law——"
Shen Shuangshuang raised his hand and interrupted Li Sanya.
"Go back. If others see you, it will be reported to your parents. It will not be good for you."
Li Sanya looked around, and when she saw someone looking over from not far away, her eyes averted for a moment.
Looking at Shen Shuangshuang, seeing Shen Shuangshuang's cold eyes, he knew that he would not get a better result if he continued to beg, so he finally gave up and continued to pester.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law."
Shen Shuangshuang nodded, raised his feet and left.
At noon, Shen Shuangshuang returned to Shen's house, went to see Mr. Shen, and told Li Sanya that she was looking for him.
"Mom, what do you think about this?"
"Li Sanya is Ling'er's cousin after all. She begged me to come to her again. If I don't ignore her at all and the news gets out, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on our family." Shen Shuangshuang said.
Mrs. Shen dropped what she was doing, looked at Shen Shuangshuang and asked, "Do you want to keep her?"
A hint of guilt flashed across Shen Shuang's face.
"She said she was willing to sign a deed of sale with me and sell herself into slavery. The price would be determined by me."
Mr. Shen chuckled.
"Did you agree?" he asked again.
"No." Shen Shuangshuang quickly shook his head.
"She is Ling'er's cousin after all. I want her to sign the deed of sale directly. How will everyone view our Shen family in the future?"
Shen nodded.
"That's right."
"We can't just ignore Li Sanya's matter, let alone do what she says."
Shen Shuangshuang immediately looked coquettish.
"That's why I came back to ask my mother."
"Mom, you are well-informed and resourceful. You will definitely be able to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds."
Mrs. Shen nodded Shen Shuangshuang's nose.
"poor!"
Shen Shuangshuang shrank his nose in cooperation.
Shen thought for a moment.
"Didn't you say before that Mr. Cheng has some tricks?" he asked.
Shen Shuang's eyes lit up.
"What does mother mean——"
Shen nodded.
"Let Mr. Cheng come forward and see the lame man."
"Then we will buy the third girl's body deed from the cripple."
Shen Shuang smiled on both sides.
"In this way, everyone will not think that our family is taking advantage of the situation and asking Li Sanya to sign the deed. The Li family has no excuse to come to find trouble."
"Time is tight. Business at Mr. Cheng's hot pot restaurant is busy. If you want to ask him for help, it's best to go to him early." Mrs. Shen said.
"Yes, yes, I'll go to Shen's Old Hotpot to find Cheng Lei!" Shen Shuangshuang said quickly.
After saying that, he got ready to leave.
Mrs. Shen quickly stopped the person.
"Don't worry-"
Shen Shuangshuang stopped.
"mother--"
"The food in the kitchen is almost ready. Don't rush now. Let's go after lunch." Shen said.
Shen Shuangshuang glanced in the direction of the kitchen and immediately felt hungry.
He touched his belly, but still said: "I'll go to the hot pot restaurant to eat."
"After Cheng Lei knows the situation, he still has to arrange for someone to find the person, which will take some time. If I go and explain the situation to him earlier, he can make arrangements earlier."
"Hehe, not to mention, I also want to eat hot pot." Shen Shuangshuang said, already running away.
Shen raised his hand and finally put it down.
Looking at Shen Shuangshuang's leaving figure, a helpless smile appeared on his face.
Shen Shuangshuang left the house and headed towards Shen Ji Lao Hotpot.
Because the distance was not too far, she didn't even lead the carriage.
Yes, the Shen family has bought a carriage, making traveling more convenient than before.
When we arrived at Shenji Old Hotpot, it was dinner time and the restaurant was noisy with many customers.
Shen Shuangshuang was seen by a waiter when he entered the door, and a waiter immediately came to greet him.
"Dr. Shen's family!"
"Yes. Where is Shopkeeper Cheng?" Shen Shuangshuang responded and directly stated his purpose.
"On the second floor. Shopkeeper Cheng's friends have brought friends here, and shopkeeper Cheng is personally receiving them." The waiter said loudly, "Do you want to invite shopkeeper Cheng?"
"No, I'll go find him myself!" Shen Shuangshuang said this and went directly to the second floor.
When they reached the second floor, they asked another waiter and Shen Shuangshuang learned about the private room where Cheng Lei was.
After seeing the private room, Shen Shuangshuang didn't knock on the door.
After only waiting for a while, Cheng Lei came out.
Cheng Lei was about to go to the first floor, but when he glanced around, he saw Shen Shuangshuang.
Seeing Shen Shuangshuang looking at him and walking towards him, Cheng Lei quickly walked over.
"I need your help with something." Shen Shuangshuang said directly.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Lei was curious.
"It's too noisy here. Let's talk somewhere else."
"good."
The two quickly entered an empty private room.
Shen Shuangshuang told Cheng Lei all about the situation.
Cheng Lei was shocked after hearing this.
"The people in Li Guodong's family are really weird."
Shen Shuangshuang looked at Cheng Lei.
Cheng Lei's eyes shrank, "I mean the people in the second and third bedrooms of the Li family, not including your Shen family." When he said the second half of the sentence, a flattering smile appeared on his face.
