After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land
Chapter 287 Buying a Maid
They arrived at the mountain city that day, and Ye Qing took people to stroll around the city as he did in the past.
A few people walked and stopped, and were soon attracted by the excitement ahead.
Ye Qing and Ye Fan's family looked at each other, and they quickened their pace and rushed over there.
A few people arrived late and were not tall. They stood behind the crowd and could not see anything.
Ye Qing looked around and saw the steps of the teahouse behind him, but there was no one there.
She pulled a few people over and stood on top. Although it was a bit far away and she couldn't see the people inside clearly, she could still hear their voices.
"Sir, please save my brother. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay you." A girl in white clothes knelt on the ground, selling herself to treat her brother.
Ye Qing became excited. This is a classic scene in TV dramas.
The man who looked like a rich young man helped the girl up with sympathy.
Everyone in Ye Fan's family calls her Wang Yun. She loves to watch the fun and comment on it as she watches.
"This young man is kind-hearted. After hearing about the girl's difficulties, he was willing to help without saying a word."
Ye Qing didn't say anything. It was too early to say anything now. He would wait and see.
The girl had already stood up with the help of the young man and thanked him shyly.
"Miss, here is twenty taels of silver. Take it back and take it to your brother for medical treatment."
The girl put her hands behind her back and refused to take the money. "Sir, it's not easy for anyone to make money. How can I take your money for free?"
The young man changed his attitude. He thought the girl was a liar at first, but he didn't expect her to have such a good character.
The young master's tone became gentler, "Take it. I don't need this little money. Go back and live a good life."
After saying this, he took the servant and was about to leave without even asking for the girl's address, as if he was giving her some money.
Wang Yun was so moved that her eyes were red. "There are still many good people in the world. The girl knows how to be grateful. The rich young man is also very kind."
Ye Qing didn't respond, but watched the others discussing with emotion.
The girl made another move, pulling the young master's sleeve, "Young master, I still can't take this money. My father has always taught me not to take other people's money for nothing. Young master, let me go back with you, serve you tea and water, and make money to pay you back."
Many people around him nodded, saying he was a good kid.
The young master disagreed. His family had no shortage of maids and he had money. This little money was not enough for his meal. There was no need to let the girl serve him. Her brother also needed someone to take care of him.
At this time, a young man walked over slowly, saw the girl and a man pulling each other, and squeezed in anxiously.
"Stop." After saying that, he started coughing for a long time, and it felt like his lungs were about to be coughed out.
The girl quickly supported him, tears streaming down her face in anxiety.
"Brother, don't worry, this young master promised to give you money to treat your illness."
The young man, who had finally stopped coughing, looked at the young man and then relaxed his guard.
"Thank you, sir, but I can't accept this money. I know my body and I don't want to burden my sister anymore."
The people around were touched by the brother-sister love and helped persuade the young man not to waste his sister's kindness and to focus on curing the disease first.
The young man saw that she was coughing badly, so he asked his servant to take out twenty taels of silver and gave it to the girl.
The girl didn't want it, and the two sides started pulling and tugging, trying to give in.
The girl wanted to work to pay back the money, but the boy was unwilling, and neither could convince the other.
Wang Yun had already started rummaging through his own purse and would go to help the girl in a moment.
Ye Qing still felt something was wrong, but she didn't step forward to remind him. She just watched from a distance.
The young man suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, please let my sister go. We are the only two siblings in my family. If anything happens, I am worried that my sister will be sold by our relatives."
The young man thought it made sense, so he asked the girl to settle her brother down and go to the Wan family to find him.
The girl thanked the young man gratefully and agreed to go to work as soon as possible.
The girl helped the young man away, and the crowd dispersed.
Wang Yun put the copper coin back into his purse and put it away carefully.
Ye Qing found it funny, "Why did you put it away again? You won't give it to them."
"Qingya, you are making fun of me. The young master gave me forty taels, which is completely enough. It is not enough. A few more copper coins are useless."
Ye Qing smiled and continued shopping with a few people.
"Qingya, why do I feel like you are not surprised by this situation?"
Ye Qing also felt like talking, "I think something is wrong. There must be something wrong with these two siblings."
The other people didn't believe it. They were soon attracted by other lively things and forgot about this matter.
Their caravan stayed in the mountain city for three days and would set off for other places tomorrow.
Ye Qing took a few people to buy snacks. Since they were bored on the way, they could sit together and eat something.
"Girl, please don't sell me. Let me continue to serve you."
Ye Qing looked over following the voice and felt that the girl's back looked familiar.
Ye Qing pulled Wang Yun and others and asked them to look over.
Out of curiosity, a few people turned into the alley, pretending to pass by and take a look.
Just as they took two steps, the girl turned around and a familiar face appeared in front of them.
"Qingya, it's the girl from that day. She wants to dismiss all the servants to save her brother." Wang Yun imagined the plot and was moved again.
"Now I'm a maid, how can I still keep a maid?" The girl still called a matchmaker.
"Miss, here are ten taels of silver, please keep it."
"A maid is so valuable nowadays. I remember that you could buy one for five taels. Could it be that she was sold to a dirty place?" Wang Yun looked at the maid with pity, suspecting that the girl didn't know she was being cheated.
The maid was also very obedient. She knelt on the ground and was unwilling to leave.
"Girl, I can wash clothes and cook. I can weave cloth and make clothes. Can you please not sell me? That kind of place is really not a place for human beings to stay."
Wang Yun felt compassion for her. "Oh, if I had money, I would buy her."
Ye Qing's eyes moved, and he walked over with a few people.
"Poor thing, what happened? Why are you crying so pitifully?" Ye Qing asked with pretended curiosity.
The people over there glanced at Ye Qing, but no one knew her and no one paid any attention to her.
Ye Qing was not embarrassed, "We are from out of town and want to buy a maid. We have to leave today and we are in a hurry to buy her. Why don't you sell her to me and I will pay more money."
The girl looked at Ye Qing and the others carefully. The clothes they were wearing did not seem to be local.
She returned the silver in her hand to the broker, asked for twelve taels of silver from Ye Qing, and gave Ye Qing the maid's indenture.
The broker was unwilling, and the business he had just obtained was snatched away by someone else.
The girl was not a good-tempered person either. "I haven't given you the indenture, so you are still mine. I can sell you to whoever I want."
The two sides started arguing, but Ye Qing didn't care and walked out of the alley with the maid.
