After hearing this, Su Jinru knew that Wang Po was fooling her. There was war going on right now, and although not many people could read, life wouldn't be very expensive. Human life was worthless these days.

"Then how much do you want?" Su Jinru asked tentatively.

"Since it's your first time here, I'll give you a discount. Fifteen taels of silver per person, and I won't make any money from you," said Wang Po.

Now this little girl who is about fifteen years old is worth at most eight taels of silver, and she is pretty. Fifteen taels of silver can buy two little girls and still have some left over.

Nowadays, most families can't earn more than five taels of silver a year. Don't I know that Wang Po is lying?

"Bring the person up here for me to see first." Su Jinru said calmly.

"Okay, okay, Wang Gui, go and bring those girls up." Wang Po said to her son.

Wang Gui went down and brought with him five girls who were about fifteen years old.

"Look up, everyone, be alert. It's your blessing that this lady is buying you today." said Wang Po.

Especially the oldest woman, who had scars on her face, couldn't be sold, and she didn't want to make a loss.

The oldest one was sixteen years old and had a small scar on her face, so she lowered her head slightly.

The youngest was twelve years old and looked average. All five girls looked average.

That’s right, if there were any good-looking ones, the human traffickers would have sold them to brothels long ago and would not have kept them for themselves.

"Do you all know how to read and write?" Su Jinru asked while sitting on a chair.

Among these five women, one looked very smart. She had been looking at her since she came in and had no idea of her limits.

"Miss, my name is San Ya, I'm twelve years old this year. When I was seven or eight years old, I learned some from my brother at home, and I also wrote a few." San Ya replied cautiously.

She hoped that the young lady could take her away. Although the few people here could read and write, no one would buy her because she was not good-looking and it was wartime.

There is endless work to do here every day, and she doesn't have enough to eat. If she doesn't do her job well, she will be beaten. She doesn't want to be here at all.

"Miss, my name is Zhaodi, I am fourteen years old this year, and I used to learn some characters from my neighbor's brother." After the clever little girl finished speaking, she smiled at Su Jinru.

"My name is Yunyi, I'm fifteen years old, and I can read a few words."

"My name is Erni, I'm fourteen years old, and I can read a few words."

"My name is Li Mengyao. My family used to be well-off. I know a few books and can write." The sixteen-year-old girl said confidently about this.

She is already sixteen years old. If this lady doesn't buy her today, she will probably be sold to several brothers in the countryside as a shared wife and live a life worse than death. She must seize this opportunity today.

After listening to them, Su Jinru observed their expressions and eyes, and said nothing more. She asked Wang Po to take them away.

Then start talking about price.

"Wang Po, your girls are all useless, and you still charge me fifteen taels of silver for this." Su Jinru said dissatisfiedly. This Wang Po must be crazy about money. She looks so good at fooling people.

"Miss, look at what you said. These people all know how to read. If this wasn't your first time here, I wouldn't buy them at this price." Wang Po looked at Su Jinru's face.

"Po Wang, be direct and tell me what's the lowest price. I'm sincere." Su Jinru said impatiently.

"I'll give you a discount. These girls are all the same price, ten taels of silver each. Choose the two you like, a total of twenty taels of silver."

Wang Po looked at Su Jinru impatiently, fearing that the person she was finally able to send away would not be sold.

Seeing that Wang Po was still not being honest, Su Jinru used her identity as a military doctor of the Yang Family Army and said, "I urge you to be honest and tell me how much it costs."

Wang Po looked at Su Jinru's identity certificate and knew that it was impossible to forge this identity, so this girl was really a military doctor of the Yang family army. When Wang Po thought of this, her body trembled and she was extremely scared.

"Oh, you should have told me you were a military doctor earlier. Really, how could I let you spend money?" Wang Po said flatteringly.

Su Jinru looked at Wang Po like this and said unhappily, "I'm not taking advantage of you. This is what it is, according to the market price.

"Then which two girls would you choose?" Wang Po said cautiously, fearing she might offend the young military doctor from the Yang family army.

"The sixteen-year-old Li Mengyao and the twelve-year-old San Ya." Su Jinru had already chosen the people in her mind.

"Then it's ten taels of silver in total." Wang Po said with a distressed look on her face. She had made less profit and suffered a great loss.

"Okay, then let them go back and pack their things and come with me immediately." Su Jinru ignored Wang Po's heartache, gave her ten taels of silver, and then sat down and waited.

Even though Wang Po looks distressed, she actually does make money, just not much.

Soon, San Ya and Li Mengyao packed up their things and came over.

"Let's go." He said and walked towards the door.

"Goodbye, young lady." Wang Po waved her hand and sent Su Jinru and the other two out the door.

Watching the three people walk away, Wang Po turned around and said to her son Wang Gui sourly: "Don't look at that little girl who looks only fifteen years old. She is a military doctor in the Yang family army. She is very powerful."

Having said this, he went back into the house without caring about his son Wang Gui's surprise.

On the other hand, Su Jinru was telling San Ya and Li Mengyao what they would do in the future, and also told them her identity.

"Wow, it turns out that the young lady is a military doctor, so amazing. I only knew that only men could become military doctors, but it turns out that women can do it too?" San Ya said in surprise.

Then will I also be a military doctor in the future? Sanya thought.

Li Mengyao was also surprised. "Miss, you look younger than me, but you have achieved such great success. Will I become a military doctor in the future?"

I will definitely learn from the young lady. She has a scar on her face, so she can forget about getting married in this life.

"Yes, I am a military doctor. Who says women are inferior to men? If you study medical skills well, you may become a military doctor in the future." Su Jinru said with a smile.

"We must study hard." They said in unison.

They both knew that in this world, whether male or female, having a skill was a very important thing. They secretly made up their minds to study art and learn to read and write so that they could help the young lady solve her problems.

After returning to the military camp, Su Jinru first took the two of them to her residence and settled them down.

Then Su Jinru went to find General Yang again. General Yang gave her 20 taels of silver. Now there are taels of silver left, and she wants to return it to the general.

"General." Su Jinru shouted.

"What's the matter? Have you found the two apprentices you were looking for?" General Yang asked.

"I found it. I went to the human trafficker today and spent a total of ten taels of silver on the two girls. The general gave me 20 taels of silver, leaving me ten taels of silver. I will return it to the general now." Su Jinru said.

"You can keep the rest of the silver yourself, you don't have to give it to me. This is what you deserve for your work for the army." General Yang said with a smile.

Although ten taels of silver is not a big deal, this silver was given by General Yang.

Then I have to tell General Yang how much silver is left, otherwise he will hear it from outsiders, which will give him a bad impression of me and will be detrimental to my future.

"General, you can't do that. Although ten taels of silver is not a lot, I should still return it to you. Now I receive a salary every month." Su Jinru said sincerely.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, General Yang accepted the ten taels of silver.

General Yang returned to his residence and saw Military Advisor Xie who came to see him. He smiled and told Military Advisor Xie about Su Jinru's visit just now.

"It seems that she is an honest person with decent character. You can try to trust her in the future and make use of her." Military Advisor Xie said, shaking the fan in his hand.
