Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 59 What a coincidence, right?
The aunt was also a straightforward person. Seeing that Liu Yunqing didn't eat the melon seeds, she pulled her aside and talked to her in a few words.
"We are not here to watch a circus. The officer did not ask us to block the road. There are two brothers selling their bodies to bury their mother. They are not very old and look very miserable. The officer allowed them to sell their bodies here for half an hour. If they fail, he will not care."
"It's not necessary to gather around them. A lot of traffickers have come to bargain for the price. Each one is worse than the other. Everyone is surrounding them and cursing at them!"
"This is all I can do to help the two little brothers. These little guys are eating me to death and they can't do heavy work. Their mother died of illness. Many people think they are sick. Who would buy them..."
Liu Yunqing thought, what a coincidence!
She didn't need to hire someone to do the heavy work. She needed someone to run errands to go to the flower shed to buy. It was too troublesome for her to go there herself, and the bookstore couldn't spare anyone, so she could only hire an idle man on the street to run errands.
But the flower sheds are all outside the city, and it takes a lot of effort to go back and forth. People won’t do it even if they are paid three or two cents. If the price is right, it won’t be a loss to buy these two brothers. At the very least, the bookstore is in need of clerks.
"Then, auntie, do you know how much silver these two brothers are going to be sold for?"
When the aunt saw that the woman in front of her was well dressed and followed by two newly bought maids, she knew that this was something, so she immediately pulled Liu Yunqing and pushed through the crowd to get in.
"It is said that only five taels is enough to buy a thin coffin. Madam, please take a look!"
This aunt is very arrogant. I should have given her a few cents to ask her to clear the way earlier. Thinking of this, Liu Yunqing was led in by his aunt before he was distracted.
After standing firmly, without asking anything, Liu Yunqing first lifted his calf and picked up his shoes.
"Why is Madam Liu here? Are you looking for someone to buy?"
A familiar voice was heard, and Liu Yunqing looked up and saw that it was Cheng Li and others who were maintaining order.
Come to think of it, if it weren’t for Cheng Li, who would be so kind as to be willing to block the road for a while to give convenience to others?
Liu Yunqing smiled helplessly and said, "It's a coincidence. I want to buy someone, but I'm still hesitating. I don't know if it's suitable."
Seeing that Madam Liu knew the officer, the aunt didn't say much. She just stood aside with her hands in her pockets and shouted at the brokers.
"Don't lower the price if you have no conscience! If there is a kind-hearted lady who wants to help, please stand aside!"
The brokers looked at him unfriendlyly, and Cheng Li immediately stood in front of Liu Yunqing and pulled out half of the knife. This scared everyone and made them retreat, but the place was much quieter.
"The two brothers only want five taels of silver. Those who can't come to an agreement should step aside. There are people who can afford it and won't insult others like you!"
After saying that, Cheng Li gave up the way and stood beside Liu Yunqing to tell people about the situation of the two brothers.
"Madam Liu, I won't hide it from you. These two brothers, one is fourteen and the other is only eight years old. They used to live in the laundry alley. Their father is a scholar. He failed the imperial examination five years ago and stayed in our Bianjing."
"Their father is also a bastard. He is too proud of his status to earn money to support the family. Their mother works as a laundryman and mends clothes every day to supplement the family income. Two years ago, their father drank too much and died. Their mother is seriously ill now."
"This young man is a hard-working man. He has been running errands for our government several years ago to earn money for his mother's medical treatment. We all know his character. However, his younger brother is too young, and the two brothers don't want to be separated, so no one is willing to buy them."
At this point, Cheng Li couldn't help but sigh: "Luckily it was Madam Liu who came. Just think of this money as a loan from me."
"I have no home and no food to eat, and I don't have much saved. If I borrow money to buy them, I will have two more brothers. I will not owe Madam Liu the money, including the principal and interest."
Since Cheng Li had guaranteed for the two brothers, why would Liu Yunqing be unwilling? Five taels of silver was really not a lot of money, and it was not even as expensive as buying Yin Di.
"Mr. Cheng, there is no need to say more. I have nothing to worry about with what you said. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It's just five taels of silver. From now on, just tell them to follow me."
After saying that, Liu Yunqing took out some silver from his purse and gave it to the two brothers. The two brothers kowtowed to Liu Yunqing repeatedly.
"Thank you for your help, my dear. My brother and I will definitely repay your kindness, even if it means going through fire and water!"
When he raised his head again, there was blood on Shen Heng's forehead. Liu Yunqing didn't need to send him through fire and water to comfort him.
"Well, take the money and settle your mother down quickly. As for repaying me, I won't listen to your opinions. You will have plenty of time to show your abilities in the future. I will give you three days. After you finish your business, come to find me at Liu's residence in Shaoyao Lane in Guozi Shop."
Seeing that Madam Liu agreed immediately, Cheng Li couldn't help feeling guilty.
Although Shen Heng is indeed a good person, he still has a little burden with him. He has to rely on the little burden to work and eat the rice and flour of the Liu family for free for several years, which is not a small amount of money.
"Madam Liu, I thought you were at a disadvantage. I will give you some more money when the monthly allowance is paid."
Liu Yunqing laughed. She originally thought that she was always soft-hearted and it was not good. Who would have thought that there was such a kind-hearted person here.
"Mr. Cheng, there is really no need to do this. If the two children of the Shen family were not in urgent need of money, where would I buy two boys with five taels of silver? It doesn't matter if they are young. They can always do the work of feeding cats and chickens at home."
"If you really care about them, then help them and take good care of their mother. They are still young, so they won't be deceived."
Cheng Li nodded repeatedly: "That's right. Alas, it's a good thing that I met you. It's a blessing for them to follow you."
"alright!"
Liu Yunqing smiled and waved at Cheng Li, telling him not to say anything more. Yindi and Xiaolu were still waiting for her outside, so Liu Yunqing hurriedly took everyone back.
Yunxi helped A'niang take care of the ribs and chickens, and Liu Yunqing first settled the two of them in the front yard, found two sets of old clothes from himself and his sister and gave them to them, and told them to boil some water and take a bath.
There were two empty rooms in the front yard, which were just right for separate male and female dormitories. They had been used as warehouses before and could not be lived in yet. Liu Yunqing could only find two bamboo beds for them to use for cool air and ask them to make do with them for the time being.
She went to find Carpenter Dong and asked him to make two bunk bunks, one in each room, which was just enough for four people to sleep.
As for the tables and chairs, Carpenter Dong gave them to her as a gift, and only asked Liu Yunqing to sell him the drawings of the bunk beds.
After buying and selling in this way, Liu Yunqing made a profit of two hundred dollars, which he gave to Carpenter Dong, asking him to come to his house when he had time to take care of the two chicken coops and fences.
After a busy day, I finally had some peace and quiet and came back just in time for dinner.
There was a warm stove for the banquet, and there were two baskets of fruits and vegetables brought by the neighbors.
It happened that Liu Yunqing had cut some meat today, so Qi made some mustard greens and pork dumplings and also served them with two steamed dishes.
Yindi and Xiaolu had already washed up and went to the kitchen to help diligently. Liu Yunqing went in and looked around but found nothing to do, so he could only sit at the table and wait for food.
