The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

The group arrived at the brokerage firm and found the broker and told him their requirements for the shop in detail.

The broker replied, "There are a few suitable shops. I can take you to have a look."

The group followed the broker to see the shop. How to say it! Zhou Huilan was not very satisfied. The shop was indeed a little small from what she wanted. There was a shop that was suitable for Su Yuanyuan to open a beverage store, but it was only for rent and not for sale!

Zhou Huilan discussed it with several people and expressed her views. The others still listened to Zhou Huilan, after all, she was the main force in buying the shop, and everyone trusted her vision.

After discussing, Zhou Huilan said to the broker, "We'll go back and think about it. We'll send someone to inform you when we have a conclusion. If you find a suitable shop in the next two days, please inform me. If you have any news, send it to the Su Mansion on Yongqing Street in the east of the city."

When the pawnbroker heard this, he straightened his attitude and asked, "Madam, are you talking about the residence of Mr. Su from the Chief Office?" The pawnbrokers were well-informed, so they naturally knew that a Mr. Su from the Chief Office had come to Nanling Prefecture.

Zhou Huilan replied, "That's right." There was nothing to hide. They didn't want to use Su An Dong to pressure others, but they also wanted to let the broker know that they were not easy to bully. Otherwise, when they first came to buy a property, it was hard to guarantee that others would have the intention to deceive them. After revealing their identities, I think the broker would also be cautious and would not dare to deceive them easily.

The broker spoke carefully again: "You are the family of Lord Su, right? May I ask, who are you?"

Li Hongmei, who was standing by, said with great tact, "My sister-in-law is the wife of Lord Su." She turned to Old Lady Su and said, "My mother is Old Lady Su." This showed the identities of the group. Now Old Lady Su can be legitimately called the old lady, and Su Zhihao and Su Yuanyuan have become young masters and young ladies. As early as the moment Su Anton stepped down from his official position, the identities of the Su family had changed to some extent.

The broker bowed quickly and said, "Hello, Madam Su. I am sorry for the intrusion." He then walked to Old Madam Su and bowed, saying, "Hello, Madam. I am sorry for the intrusion."

Mrs. Su said, "It's okay. I'll have to trouble you with the house purchase. If you find a suitable house, just talk to my daughter-in-law."

Zhou Huilan knew that Old Lady Su didn't like such hypocritical greetings, so she continued, "I have something else to trouble you with. We also want to buy some servants, preferably ones with some cooking skills. If your dental shop has anyone suitable, please take us to have a look."

The broker hurriedly said, "Madam, you are too polite. Please follow me."

The broker led a group of people to the place where people were sold. Every time Su Yuanyuan saw the scene of human trafficking, she felt very uncomfortable. She couldn't and didn't want to become someone who changed the world. What she could do was to be nicer to these people, treat them as real people, and not neglect any life.

Even though it was not the first time they bought someone, Old Lady Su and Zhou Huilan still couldn't adapt to it. People like them who were used to the saying that everyone was equal could not adapt to these scenes no matter what. But Zhou Huilan and the others knew very well that in order to survive in this world, they had to abide by the rules of this world.

In addition to buying people to train as chefs, I also want to buy some servants to take care of the house, after all, it is such a big house.

The broker who sold rental houses introduced Zhou Huilan and her group to the broker who sold people. After hearing about Zhou Huilan and her group's identities, they were naturally very polite.

Old Mrs. Su and Zhou Huilan were discussing the matter of buying someone, but after looking around, they didn't see anyone they particularly liked.

However, Su Yuanyuan became interested in a little girl in a cage in the yard. The little girl was curled up in the corner of the cage.

Su Yuanyuan pulled her grandmother's sleeve and said, "Grandma, look at that girl."

Old Mrs. Su looked over and saw that all the other people in the cages were gathered in groups of three or five, except for the little girl, who was huddled alone in the corner.

Seeing that her daughter was interested, Zhou Huilan asked the broker about the girl's situation.

The people that the broker introduced to Zhou Huilan and her group were all introduced according to their requirements. Although they were surprised by her question, they still told the truth honestly: "This girl was sold by her stepmother. After her biological father died, her stepmother sold her immediately. This girl is dumb! She can't speak, but she can hear. It is said that her voice became hoarse due to an illness when she was a child. If your family wants to buy someone, you must buy someone who is smart and clever. This girl is not suitable."

Su Yuanyuan couldn't help it and walked towards the girl huddled in a corner of the cage.

The girl heard the noise and raised her head. She saw a very beautiful girl. In the long years that followed, she never forgot this sight. This was the most beautiful person she had ever seen.

Su Yuanyuan was startled by the little girl who raised her head. Her face was dirty, but her eyes were bright. There is an aura between people. For some reason, Su Yuanyuan liked this girl inexplicably.

Su Yuanyuan looked into the girl's eyes and said, "Will you come with me?"

The girl opposite nodded fiercely. This was the first time someone was willing to buy her since she came here. And she was such a bright girl, how could she not be willing?

Su Yuanyuan stood up and said, "Grandma, mother, I want her. Let her be my maid!"

Old Lady Su and Zhou Huilan would never refuse Su Yuanyuan’s request, not to mention that it was just to buy a maid and they could afford it.

Finally, Su Yuanyuan bought the girl who couldn't talk. It's hard to say whether someone has a good impression of you or not, but Su Yuanyuan just liked her.

The group returned home and went about their own business. Even if they didn't buy a shop, they still had to make the necessary preparations.

Zhao Yun was busy gathering people to make clothes; Li Hongmei was busy studying recipes and learning to cook with Zhou Huilan. Anyway, everyone had something to do.

After Su Yuanyuan brought the little girl home, she prepared hot water for her, prepared clean clothes for her, and let her take a good bath.

After taking a shower and tidying up, Su Yuanyuan asked, "What's your name?" After asking, she realized that the other party could not answer, and cursed herself for being stupid in her heart.

The girl looked around the room, saw paper and pen, and signaled to Su Yuanyuan that she could write it down.

Su Yuanyuan understood what she meant and nodded, signaling her to write. Su Yuanyuan was surprised in her heart, wondering if she could write.

Su Yuanyuan walked to the desk with the girl, and the girl picked up a pen and wrote the three words "Su Ping'an" on the paper.

Unexpectedly, the girl could actually write. Su Yuanyuan was surprised and asked, "Your last name is Su too? And your name is Ping An?"

The girl nodded.

Su Yuanyuan continued to ask: "How old are you?"

The girl wrote again: "Twelve"

Su Yuanyuan said happily, "Twelve years old! We are the same age! Ping An, how can you write? Who taught you?"

Ping An had a dejected look on his face and wrote, "My father taught me. My father is a scholar."

Su Yuanyuan's eyes widened in surprise. His father was a scholar! Su Yuanyuan didn't want to cause her sadness, so she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she said, "You are mine now. Follow me from now on! Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. I will be responsible for you. But you have to be loyal to me! Don't betray me."

Ping An nodded seriously.

Two half-grown children, one is talking seriously, the other is listening attentively. The picture is strange yet somewhat harmonious.

Later, Su Yuanyuan found out that Ping An's mother died when she was three years old. Ping An's father was a scholar. He was very kind to Ping An and loved him very much. He taught Ping An to read and write since he was a child. From Ping An's name, it can be seen that Ping An's father loved Ping An very much.

When Ping An was seven years old, his father married a new woman. When his father was alive, the new woman treated him very well because of his love. Unfortunately, Ping An's father was in poor health and died of illness. The woman he married later relied on her son to her. After Ping An's father died, she showed her true colors and treated Ping An very badly. In the end, she even sold Ping An out.

Ping An is still a positive and optimistic girl because of her father's love, even though she encountered so many things later. This is probably why a good childhood can heal a lifetime! Because you have been loved well, you will know how to love others and how to be good to others.

Su Yuanyuan took Ping An to find Zhao Huaixi. Su Yuanyuan wanted to cure Ping An and let him speak.

Zhao Huaixi carefully felt Ping'an's pulse and checked his condition in detail before saying, "There is hope that he can speak, but the treatment process is longer and more troublesome. In addition to taking medicine, acupuncture is also required. And I can't say for sure whether he can speak in the end, but there is hope."

Su Yuanyuan was very happy after hearing this. As long as there is hope, it is good. She looked at Ping An with sparkling eyes and said, "Ping An, let's give it a try, okay?"

Ping'an looked at Su Yuanyuan's eyes and couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded obediently.

When Ping'an's father was alive, he had taken Ping'an to many doctors and he had taken many bitter medicines, but none of them worked. Ping'an had given up hope of speaking. But seeing Su Yuanyuan's eager eyes, he decided to give it another try.

At this time, Zhou Lizheng, who was at Su's house, gathered the people who came with him and expressed his ideas.

Zhou Lizheng said, "Although Anton wants us to stay here, this is not a long-term solution after all. We can't live here forever. If we stay here, it will be crowded and inconvenient for the Su family to live there. We still have to move out. What do you think?"

Zhou Ping was the first to agree: "What uncle said makes sense. We have already borrowed a lot of light, we can't be shameless."

Others also expressed their attitudes.

Zhou Lizheng raised his hand to suppress the discussion and said, "I was thinking that we could rent a large yard together and then share the rent according to the rooms occupied by each family. What do you think?"

Everyone said they would listen to Zhou Lizheng.

Zhou Lizheng continued encouragingly: "Let's work hard behind the Su family, maybe we can buy a house in this city in the future."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they patted each other on the shoulders to encourage each other.
