Just as Li Qiu Sui was about to turn around, he was blocked by a woman with her hair disheveled, making it difficult to see her face.
He hurriedly took a few steps back and didn't wait for her to react. The woman over there had already knelt on the ground. After kowtowing three times, she said: "Girl, please, please, buy her too." Let's go back!"
Li Qiusui frowned.
The woman lowered her head, pushed the little girl at her hand, and knelt down with her, "Girl, this is a little girl. She is a little young, but she can do any job, know the words, and eat. Young Master, she is still obedient and well-behaved. Buy her home and let her serve you and work as a cow or a horse for you!"
Li Qiusui looked at the woman and said, "Get up first and talk to me if you have anything to say."
Unexpectedly, the woman seemed not to have heard Li Qiu Sui's words. Not only did she not get up, she also pulled out another child behind her. The three of them knelt down together and blocked Li Qiu Sui's way out.
He cries and begs blindly, showing the attitude of not giving up until he compromises.
This is coercion!
Li Qiusui said several times more to make people stand up first, but the woman turned a deaf ear and kept kowtowing and crying. The two children were behind her, as if they didn't dare to get up without permission, and kept kowtowing in imitation of her.
He really didn't like cannibalism. Li Qiusui lost his temper, didn't say another word, walked around the three of them and walked to another place.
Those who are the most impatient are like this. If you speak up, if you can do something difficult, you can naturally raise your hand and do it. If you can't do it, aren't you forcing others to make things difficult for you?
The child the woman was talking about was only six or seven years old. From what she said, he had read books and knew how to read. How could he be raised by an ordinary family?
Ya Po chased after Li Qiu Sui and turned to scold the woman, "Go to the corner and stay with me honestly. If you dare to act like a monster again, the three of you will be sold to a brothel together. It's really a discredit on your face. Others can't see how little you are." thought!"
Ya Po's scolding was much more effective than Li Qiu Sui's words. The woman did not dare to say a word, shivered, and hid in the corner with her shrinking head.
After all the fuss, Li Qiusui lost the patience to look at each other one by one and pointed at two people casually, "Just the two of them."
Cuizhu went to discuss the price with Ya Po. Although Li Qiu Sui had experienced the apocalypse where human life was not taken seriously and was very comfortable with making slaves and maids, he still felt a little uncomfortable talking about a person's price so carelessly.
Fortunately, there are green bamboos...
Li Qiu Sui had nothing to do and inadvertently glanced at the woman in the corner and the two children behind her with their heads hanging down.
Earlier, Yapo meant that they were pretending to be ugly on purpose. The one who was dressed as a girl had her palm-sized face painted black, which seemed to be deliberate. She lowered her head and peeked over from time to time. Her eyes were big and bright. Perhaps because he was too young and unaware of his current situation, he smiled shyly when he met Li Qiusui's gaze.
The other one, judging from his clothes, was a boy. He was two years older. His face was also darkened. He seemed not to notice that anyone was looking at him. He stood in the corner as silently as a wooden stake.
Unless they knew of his existence, they wouldn't notice that there was someone standing there.
He looked at the woman's face again...
The woman met Li Qiusui's gaze, and bravely ran forward in a few steps. She subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground again, but the previous experience made her resist the movement. She clasped her hands together and lowered her voice and said, "Girl. , we are not from a small family, and we are now encountering difficulties. Please help us advance the ransom money. When we are outside, we will find an opportunity to pay you back twice as much. This little lady will never forget your great kindness, and I swear here. , I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future.”
The words were spoken quickly and urgently, without the previous coquettishness and pretense.
Li Qiu Sui found her much more pleasing to the eye. Not to mention how true her words were at the moment. The first words she said about being like a cow and a horse to her, and that he devoted himself to selling himself to her, were all lies.
At this time, they asked for money to be redeemed in advance. Listening to the words, he looked like he had a lot of money.
Which sentence is true and which sentence is false?
Furthermore, why don’t you explain to Yapo that you used family property to redeem yourself?
The woman didn't dare to look at Li Qiu Sui. What she said before was not entirely true, but she just saw that the other person was young and easy to be soft-hearted. Ya Po is accustomed to looking down on people with high eyebrows and low eyes. With such a respectful attitude, her status must be high.
She knelt down with her child and cried and begged to resolve the dilemma. She explained the reason clearly afterwards.
Nothing happened as expected!
The woman carefully glanced at Yabo's direction and gritted her teeth and said, "Our body bonds are all in Yaxing. If we rashly leak the wealth, we will take it away. There is no reason to argue! I'm afraid they will get the money. I didn’t want people to know, so I just started to think of harming others. By then, the three little women would have become a piece of meat on someone else’s knife. It would be difficult to survive like this. If it weren’t for the two children, the little woman would Even if you die, what's the point of fear..."
As he spoke, the person began to cry...
Ya Po glanced over here, and when she saw that Li Qiu Sui had no intention of getting angry, she quickly looked away.
She wished that someone would buy these three girls away.
They were put on consignment here by the dental shop in the neighboring state and county. We all work in the same industry. There are established rules for this kind of thing. Goods that are difficult to sell locally are sent to surrounding states and counties for dispensing. Although carriages, horses and meals are , the cost is a little higher, but a lot less trouble.
At first glance, it was clear that the woman was not from an ordinary family, and the two children, despite their young age, did not look like they could serve others.
She didn't want to keep anyone in her hands for a moment, but the consignor offered a high price lower than fifty taels.
The night she brought her here, she looked at the woman carefully. Her face was smeared with black paint, but her figure and gestures could not deceive anyone.
To be honest, such goods can be sold in black kilns, let alone fifty taels. If you are lucky and meet Qiao Zong, you can sell them at a high price even for seventy or eighty taels.
She can earn twenty or thirty taels by changing hands, so she is naturally enthusiastic.
After the heat of the heart has passed, people can calm down and think about things. Let’s not talk about how strange this matter is. She has been in this business for decades and is not considered a kind person... The madam of Hualou wants to take advantage of her. She never went door-to-door to sell people when she was not in disguise. This was the only downline she maintained since she entered this industry.
Mrs. Ma from Yaxing in Xicheng often said that she was hypocritical because of this matter.
If these three girls are sold to a brothel, they can earn twenty or thirty taels. If they are sold to someone who is under the control of someone, even a wealthy family, they will only be worth more than twenty taels if they are exhausted, and they will lose twenty or thirty taels in the blink of an eye. This has been supporting people for several days, but no one has cared about it. If this continues, she will continue to put money into it.
How could such a Bodhisattva be able to do such a business?
This was also the reason why Ya Po didn't stop the little woman from pestering Li Qiu Sui immediately.
"Girl!" Cuizhu came over and whispered a few words in Li Qiusui's ear.
"Then buy them together, as well as these three." Li Qiu Sui took off the purse from his waist, threw it to Cuizhu, and pointed at Niangsan who stood in front of her.
Cuizhu held her purse in her hand and frowned, "Girl?"
Li Qiusui waved his hand, "Go and do it!"
…
…
After seeing Cuizhu's younger brother, Li Qiusui said in front of Cuizhu's father, Xiang Tietou, "The fever has subsided. We have to wait until Xiaobao wakes up to see if he has burned out his brain before."
Xiaobao was too young and had been burning for so long. His brain was really burned out, and Li Qiusui was helpless.
After hearing this, Xiang Tietou's face suddenly turned pale, and he stared blankly at his sallow son wrapped in a quilt.
Cuizhu had heard the doctor at Jimintang say this before. She just hoped that the fever would subside and Xiaobao would be fine.
Yes, I have heard people say something like this before. I heard that such a thing also happened to wealthy families. My brother was like this. It was a blessing to be able to save his life.
Cuizhu wiped away the tears that flowed down her cheeks and choked up: "Girl...mother, I only have a younger brother named Xiaobao in this world. No matter what he becomes, I will never abandon him. He is still mine." Xiaobao!"
After feeding him the pills again, Xiaobao's complexion improved significantly.
Cuizhu's father, Xiang Tietou, remembered that Xiaobao opened his eyes once while they were out, and it was not clear whether his intelligence was affected, which was very reassuring after all.
The bought people were temporarily placed in the corner courtyard where the servants lived. There were men and women, five or six of them! In this way, there will be people to clean, look after the yard, and cook.
Li Qiu Sui did not arrange any specific work for them. There were only a few people on the left and right. He would observe their temperaments for a while before making any plans.
As for whether he stole something or ran away, he had already fingerprinted and signed the deed of sale. If he didn’t want to be wanted by the government and become a refugee, he could just run away!
