The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Gu Qinghuai said seriously, "Anti-inflammatory drugs are drugs that prevent wounds from festering. My family is planning to open a pharmaceutical workshop, and I can sell you anti-inflammatory drugs in the future. Well, I have said everything I need to say. Doctor Lin, which day do you think is a good day?"

Lin Huaishan stroked his mustache and thought for a while before saying, "Maybe in five days."

"Okay, then we'll see you in five days. We won't bother you anymore. Goodbye!" With that, Gu Qinghuai stood up.

He Ziyuan also stood up quickly.

He didn't expect Gu Qinghuai to be so decisive. He was straightforward when talking about things, without dragging his feet. After the discussion, he immediately patted his butt and left, with no intention of maintaining a good relationship with them.

In fact, he also wanted to treat them to a meal to deepen their relationship. He always felt that Gu Qinghuai was extraordinary and he could learn a lot from her.

He is different from his master. His master likes to explore whether what Madam Gu said is true or false and where it came from.

But he didn't ask the reason, he only cared about what he could learn from her.

Even if Madam Gu had any secrets, it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing He Ziyuan looking at Gu Qinghuai with a hesitant look on his face, Qi Yuanshuo stood in front of Gu Qinghuai, blocking his view.

He Ziyuan: ...

After leaving Huichuntang, Gu Qinghuai asked Qi Yuanshuo to drive the donkey cart directly to the largest dental clinic in the county - Changxin Dental Clinic.

They were received by a thin broker named Cao.

When Caoya heard that Gu Qinghuai wanted to buy several servants, he was so happy that his mouth stretched to his ears and he was very enthusiastic.

The people of Caoya asked all the people for sale to stand in the front yard and let Gu Qinghuai choose.

Gu Qinghuai had only two requirements when hiring people: loyalty and diligence.

As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles tests the strength of a horse, and time reveals a person's true character. These two requirements cannot be seen at first glance, and require long-term contact to understand.

Therefore, when you go to a dental clinic, you can only do a preliminary screening, buy the person first, and then evaluate them after using them.

Those who have good character, are hardworking and capable will be kept; those with bad intentions will be sold.

Gu Qinghuai is not a saint and is too lazy to be pretentious. In this era, there is a strict hierarchy and the slave trade is rationalized. She cannot change the times and can only adapt to local customs.

However, the difference between her and the slave masters of that era was that she treated her slaves better, did not beat or scold them at will, and ensured that they were well fed and well clothed.

Gu Qinghuai's eyes swept over the rows of ragged, pale and thin people again and again, trying to pick out the ones that suited his taste through his eyes and body movements.

When selecting, she also sought the opinions of Qi Yuanshuo and the four little ones.

Qi Yuanshuo had been surrounded by servants since he was a child, so he should have developed a keen eye for identifying people.

The four little ones are just children, and children have the most intuitive feelings about people’s likes and dislikes.

Finally, after everyone discussed it together, Gu Qinghuai selected ten people, or eleven to be exact.

These eleven people all signed death contracts.

Among them, three young men were the most expensive, with fifteen taels of silver each.

This is reasonable, as teenagers are approaching adulthood, are very strong, and are the main labor force.

Then there was a sixteen-year-old girl with a stout face and body, and a woman in her twenties holding a one-year-old baby girl.

The girl had a simple and honest look in her eyes. She was squeezed to the back and didn't look like someone who would do anything scheming.

The woman hugged the child tightly, as if she was afraid that the child in her arms would be snatched away, and her expression was very alert.

A woman who has fallen to this point but still has not thought of abandoning her child must be a kind and loving person.

The maid and the woman were both given ten taels of silver. The baby girl was too young. Not only could she not work, but the owner also needed money to raise her. Cao Ya's men did not take the money, but it was considered a bonus.

There was another reason why Caoya Ren did not take the money: he felt that the baby girl would not survive.

Finally, there is the An family of five, including a grandfather in his fifties, a couple in their twenties, a twelve-year-old boy and a ten-year-old girl.

After these ten people were bought, they were very excited. The men couldn't help but have tears in their eyes and the women kept wiping away tears.

During their time in the pawnshop, they could only drink two bowls of porridge every day, which was just enough to hang on for their lives. They were so hungry that they felt like going crazy all day long, and they hoped that they would be bought as soon as possible and sold to a good owner.

Moreover, every time a distinguished guest came to buy someone, they would be dragged out and stood in the yard, to be selected like pigs and sheep. It was really an unpleasant feeling.

Although they sold themselves and became slaves, they were still human beings and retained a little bit of dignity.

Those whose entire families have sold themselves are even more afraid of being separated from their families. Once separated, there is almost no possibility of them ever seeing each other again in this life.

The most moved person was the woman holding the baby girl. Her thin, withered face was covered with tears. Without saying a word, she knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Qinghuai.

Gu Qinghuai helped her up, stuffed a box of milk into her hands, and asked her to feed the child quickly.

If the child doesn't eat something, he'll probably die.

The woman held the milk, her hands shaking.

When Cao Yaren processed the eleven indentures and handed them over to Gu Qinghuai, the system started beeping again.

【叮，恭喜宿主拯救了第12位女性，奖励多子丸一粒、棉被+四件套100套、竹编拖鞋100双、唐刀一把、黄花梨木摇摇椅一张，空间体积扩容至12X12X12=1728立方米】

[Ding, congratulations to the host for saving the 13th woman. The reward is 13 kilograms of rice, a big knife, a high-power telescope, ten flashlights, and 13 pieces of fine cotton cloth. The space volume is expanded to 13X2197X= cubic meters.]

Gu Qinghuai looked at the woman holding the baby girl. The two rewards this time should be because the mother and daughter were rescued.

In other words, if she didn't buy the mother and daughter this time, they might not survive.

All ten of them looked listless and dispirited, probably because they were too hungry to have any strength left. Especially the baby girl, who cried like a kitten and sounded very weak.

Gu Qinghuai asked Qi Yuanshuo to distribute two meat buns to each person, and asked Cao Yaren to help bring some hot water so that they could eat the buns with hot water before going home. Otherwise, these people would probably collapse on the road before they got home.

Seeing the fragrant buns, the ten people's eyes widened and they kept swallowing their saliva.

"It's a meat bun!" The ten-year-old girl from the An family took a bite of the bun and said to her parents beside her in surprise.

"Mmm, meat buns! I... I've never eaten them before, they're so delicious, woooo..." The twelve-year-old boy from the An family wiped his tears while wolfing down the food.

"Our new master is a kind-hearted person. He gave us meat buns as soon as he arrived," the An family's wife whispered to her husband.

"Well, from now on our whole family will follow the new master and work hard."
