After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

"Okay!" The bucktoothed boy took the mother and son to the backyard and took the key to open a room on the west side.

"Mrs. Wu, come here."

Following the bucktoothed boy's shout, an old lady with gray hair who looked to be about fifty years old walked slowly to the door, holding a big-headed doll in her right hand and a little baby about three years old who was so thin that only a pair of big eyes were left in her left hand.

Fang Cuihua frowned slightly when she saw this. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Guangdan speak.

"Hey man, can we talk to them alone? There are too many people here." Guangdan looked at the many pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark room and suggested with a smile.

"Of course. Mrs. Wu, come with us." After saying that, the bucktoothed young man led everyone to an empty room next door.

After arriving at the empty house, Fang Cuihua looked at the extremely old Mrs. Wu in front of her and frowned and asked, "How old is this woman?"

"To answer your question, madam, I am thirty-five this year." After Mrs. Wu said this, both Guangdan and his mother widened their eyes in disbelief.

In their countryside, women in their forties are already considered old women, which is normal. But the woman in front of them is only thirty-five years old, but she looks like she is over fifty!

Fang Cuihua then thought about this person's experience again and felt that it was understandable. There were also people who turned gray overnight in similar situations.

"She is already four years old? She looks a little thin." Guangdan reached out and pinched the little baby's face, saying with a smile.

"Well, I know some simple pharmacology. I used to serve herbs in the mistress's courtyard. I can also cook some medicinal soups for the masters who are not feeling well. The only request of this old slave is that these two granddaughters stay with me."

After saying this, Mrs. Wu looked straight at Fang Cuihua, her eyes filled with dead water, as if she had no hope at all.

In fact, she herself understood that given the current situation of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, it would be difficult for a master to want them if they were not separated. Firstly, she looked old, and secondly, the two children were too young. The older one was better, and could be a maid after being raised for three or four years, but whether the younger one could be raised was another matter. Furthermore, the price charged by the pawnshop was not cheap.

When Guangdan heard what Mrs. Wu said, he wanted to ask her more specifically, so he asked a few simple questions. It turned out that Mrs. Wu's knowledge of pharmacology and herbal medicine was higher than he had imagined, and he was overjoyed.

"If I buy them all, how much will it be?" Seeing her son looking at her expectantly, Fang Cuihua simply asked the bucktoothed boy.

"Forty taels of silver." The bucktoothed guy said with a grin.

Fang Cuihua and Guangdan immediately put away their expressions after hearing this, and stared blankly at the buck-toothed guy in front of them. Let's say, isn't this price a bit outrageous???

"Forty taels can buy three adult laborers. Isn't your price a bit outrageous?" Fang Cuihua asked directly and unhappily.

"Hehehe, if you are sincere in buying it, the price can indeed be negotiated, but there is not much room for discussion. I'll let the shopkeeper come over and talk to you?" After getting Fang Cuihua's consent, the bucktoothed young man glanced at Mrs. Wu and slipped away.

A moment later, an unimpressively young shopkeeper came strolling over, which surprised Guangdan and his mother again.

They had visited so many shops in the city, and the one in front of them was probably the youngest shopkeeper they had ever seen, no more than 25 years old.

"Sorry for the long wait! How about it, although this Mrs. Wu looks quite old, she actually has some real skills. I'm telling you the truth, there are many people in my dental practice who can serve, but not many of them are really capable." The young shopkeeper directly stated the value of Mrs. Wu as soon as he arrived.

"That's what she said, but she has two little ones, right? They need a lot of effort to raise, right? Don't beat around the bush with me, just tell me the truth. We just happened to see this." Fang Cuihua looked at the room with an indifferent attitude.

"Hahaha, madam is quite generous. Thirty-five taels." The young shopkeeper said and looked at Fang Cuihua.

"Thirty taels." Fang Cuihua continued to chop down.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, Guangdan spoke again.

"We can put this aside for now. Do you have anyone here who knows some martial arts skills? We need someone younger, preferably in their twenties."

After Guangdan said this, he received a puzzled look from his mother. He pretended not to see it and turned his head to look at the young shopkeeper seriously.

"Yes! Of course there is. Let's go and take a look?" Hearing that there was still business, the young shopkeeper immediately smiled again.

"Okay, then we'll take a look." Fang Cuihua nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Wu. The woman still had a blank expression on her face, as if she was a piece of wood. The little baby in her arms was biting his fingers, and looked hungry.

After the young shopkeeper asked the bucktoothed young man to take Mrs. Wu and her two grandchildren back to their original place, he took Guangdan and her son to a house in the east and called out a young man in his early twenties from the house.

This man had dark skin and a big scar on his face, which looked like an old scar. He looked at Guangdan and the others with wariness and scrutiny in his eyes.

This actually aroused Guangdan's interest. After carefully looking around, he tilted his head and asked, "Is it normal to fight five elements at a time?"

"Barely."

"Are you strong?"

After Guangdan asked, he saw the man run to the yard and pick up a water jar full of water.

"Well, can you read?"

After this question was asked, everyone was a little confused, and then they heard a sentence: "I don't know."

Fang Cuihua felt that this man was quite strong and robust, looking at Guangdan, she said, "This one plus the three from Mrs. Wu's family, how many are there in total?"

"Fifty taels." The young shopkeeper answered without thinking, and the result was predictable!

Next, it was time for Fang Cuihua and the young shopkeeper to bargain. Guangdan was stunned listening to them, until Fang Cuihua said that she also wanted to buy a mule, which changed the subject.

The young shopkeeper said enthusiastically that his brother had a shop next door that had mule carts and horse carriages. So, before we could agree on the price, he went to look at the mules next door.

On the way to the provincial capital, Fang Cuihua asked Hammer for a lot of tips on buying mules, so as soon as she entered the mule pen, she started choosing.

The mule that was finally chosen was priced at eighteen taels, and the price was not lowered at all. However, the shopkeeper did give her a half-new mule cart, which solved a problem for Fang Cuihua.
