Chapter 58 Buying Two Girls
Upon hearing this, several girls' eyes lit up. Most of them had been sold several times on the road, so how could they not tell which buyer was a good one and which was a pitfall? They hurriedly ran forward to recommend themselves.
He didn't dare get too close to Liu Yunqing, for fear of offending the noble man.
"My lady, please let me take you. I am thirteen years old. I eat little and work hard. I used to do everything from mowing grass to feeding pigs and cooking and cleaning at home!"
"My lady, please let me. I am ten years old. I have secretly listened to a few classes at the school gate and can write my own name."
"My lady, if you want me, I can also weave. I don't want new clothes. I will concentrate on serving you..."
In order to have a good ending, the children couldn't help but become introverted. Only one of them took the initiative to refuse new clothes, and the others also lowered their demands, saying things like they would rather not eat food than work like slaves.
Liu Yunqing felt unhappy, and finally she only chose the first two girls who stood up. She only brought 20 taels of silver with her when she went out today, and she couldn't save more than that.
The thirteen-year-old one weighed six taels, and the ten-year-old was smaller and had a runny nose, and I don’t know if he was sick or what. He couldn’t do any heavy work, so the broker was afraid of getting hurt, so he sold him for one and a half taels.
After getting the indentures of the two girls and pulling out the straw tags on their heads, the two girls would become Liu Yunqing's slaves from now on. As long as her mistress didn't give the order to release them, not only them but also the children they gave birth to would belong to the Liu family.
The broker handed the ropes that tied them to Liu Yunqing, and the remaining procedures to be handled by the government were left to the broker.
Seeing that the skin on their wrists was abraded and it was unclear whether it was mud or blood scabs stuck on the wounds, Liu Yunqing pulled them aside and untied them.
He was also afraid that these two would team up with the brokers to set up a trap, and once they were released, they could run away and then sell the property. So Liu Yunqing had to give them a warning first.
"I untied you because I pity you. If you are the kind who don't want to betray your master, don't blame me for being rude. I am a businessman and I hate to lose money. I also have some tricks. Go ask around on the street. I don't even care about my own father, so there's no need to talk about anything else."
"A few taels of silver are nothing to me. If you work hard with me, you will naturally have a good life. If not, we can meet at the government office. As for where I sell you to later, I have no right to control you."
Upon hearing this, the two little girls were naturally trembling with fear and no longer had any evil thoughts.
"We are obedient and follow my wife's orders."
Liu Yunqing responded, but seeing that the two men were honest and pitiful, he could not say anything harsh.
He bought them sweet drinks and pancakes from the stall nearby, otherwise Liu Yunqing was really worried that they would not be able to make it home.
On the way back, Liu Yunqing was not idle either. He briefly told them about the chores to be done at home and what they should pay attention to in daily life.
She wanted to ask the two little girls to work in the bookstore, but she didn't know their background or whether they were really as hardworking and considerate as they said. So she had to ask them to work at home for two days to see what kind of people they were.
Passing by the raw meat market, Liu Yunqing thought that there was not much meat left at home, and he had to supplement it for the two newly bought maids, so he cut some pork belly and ribs, and also bought a few chicks.
We used to raise a few hens at home, which was not too much trouble. It was convenient for us to eat the eggs they laid, saving us from having to buy them on the street.
Now that they have moved to a new home, everyone except Yun Xiang is busy and has no time to raise this, but Li Baer mentioned it to her.
He said that his job of looking after the cats was too easy, and the food at home was good, so he and his brothers were too idle to do anything.
It would be better to raise some chickens and ducks at home. They can look after them on weekdays. Just remember to feed them when you are free, and the cats will take care of everything else.
Liu Yunqing always found it a little funny, but since Li Baer and the others had suggested it, Liu Yunqing bought ten to try first. He was not sure whether he could raise them, so if not, he would just treat it as a new dish for Li Baer and the others.
"By the way, what were your names before? Where were you from? How were you sold? Were you kidnapped?"
The thirteen-year-old held the ten-year-old's hand with one hand, and rushed to take the meat and a basket of chickens bought by Liu Yunqing with the other hand, without making her tired at all. When she heard Madam Liu ask her this, she immediately answered carefully.
"My lady, my name is Yindi, and my family is from Qianzhou. I was not kidnapped, but my family sold me to help my elder brother get married. I have found a good person like you, so I have no intention of running away. I just want to serve you well."
After Yindi finished speaking, the ten-year-old girl also opened her mouth. When she opened her mouth, air leaked from between her teeth. It turned out that her teeth had not yet been completely replaced.
"My dear, my name is Xiaolu. I come from Gongzhou. My family suffered a disaster and can't afford to live anymore. My father wants my brother but not me."
Liu Yunqing was born and raised in Bianjing. He was accustomed to the prosperity and peace of Bianjing and always thought that the world was like this.
Hearing the two of them talk about remote places like Qianzhou and Gongzhou, I remembered that there are thousands and millions of people suffering.
Even in Bianjing, if Mr. Zhao had not invested in setting up a charity to shelter homeless children a few years ago, we would probably see children struggling to survive in the corners everywhere, and they might die on the streets any day.
Look at the names of the two little girls, Yindi and Xiaolu, they are not treated as human beings after all.
"Let's not talk about the past anymore. From now on, you are my family. You won't have to live a hard life anymore. I've given you new names when you go home. Just look forward."
The little donkey was still confused and just happy, but Yindi couldn't help crying.
It has been almost half a year since she was sold. The most frightening thing was not the agents' physical contact with her. What she feared most was that the agents would threaten to sell her to a brothel.
Seeing her sisters around her being bought one by one, she was afraid every day. Being bought by Madam Liu was like meeting a god from heaven.
Not only did they buy them food and drink, but they also gave them names so that they would no longer think about the hard days ahead.
She has grown up in a place where even her own parents have never been so nice to her.
Liu Yunqing didn't know how to comfort Yindi, so he could only hand her his handkerchief, thinking that it would be good to let Yindi cry, and then all he could do was smile.
Yindi clutched Madam Liu's handkerchief and swore secretly that she would protect Madam Liu even if she died, and would work like a slave to repay her kindness in the next life.
The master and his two servants were walking home. After passing the market, the area should have been quiet, but someone gathered in a circle ahead for some unknown reason, and Liu Yunqing could hardly squeeze through.
But if they took a detour, they would have to walk another thirty-quarters of an hour. Not to mention whether Yindi and the other two were weak enough to support them, even Liu Yunqing felt his feet were sore.
After standing on tiptoe and looking again and again, Liu Yunqing had no choice but to ask the old lady in front who was watching the fun with a basket on her arm.
"Aunt, what's going on ahead? When will the people who are watching the acrobatics be able to clear this road?"
"Ouch! It will probably take a while for them to disperse. Would you like some melon seeds, ma'am? A handful for a penny!"
