"Wait a minute, sister-in-law. You don't know something." Liu Yi saw that she was about to decide on the two sisters and reminded her, "Although these two sisters are good, there is another condition for buying them."
Xie Songlin asked: "What are the conditions?"
"They both want to take their mother with them. If you want to buy them, you have to buy their sick mother as well. They alone will cost 40 taels of silver, and their mother will cost 10 taels of silver. I'm not trying to extort you, but our brokerage firm paid almost that price, and I even subsidized a lot of the medical expenses." Liu Yi shook the fan in his hand. "Otherwise, with their looks and conditions, how could they not be sold? It's just that no one wants to buy an extra burden."
Qiuyue suddenly knelt down. Many people had wanted to marry her to him before, but they all gave up because of her mother. She felt that Cheng Hui in front of her was her last hope.
Qiuyue's voice trembled, her eyes filled with anxiety and pleading: "Madam, please, buy my mother as well. We will definitely work hard and won't let your money go to waste. Please, my mother will die if she doesn't get treatment. Please, madam."
"Qiuyue, didn't I find a doctor for your mother? The doctor said it couldn't be cured." Liu Yi advised, "My brother and his family are all very kind-hearted. You and your sister won't suffer if you follow them. Don't make things difficult for your sister-in-law."
She knew what Liu Yi said made sense, but she absolutely could not abandon her mother. She lowered her head, biting her lip tightly. After a moment, Qiuyue raised her head, her eyes filled with determination: "Madam, I know you are a good person, but I can't abandon my mother. If you can't buy my mother, then my sister and I can't go with you." Qiuyue's voice was trembling, but it was full of determination.
Cheng Hui looked back at Xie Wanxing, who was frowning, and asked Qiuyue, "What's wrong with your mother?"
"The doctor we called said it was pneumonia, but because it has been delayed for too long, it is difficult to treat, and the medicine is also quite expensive." Qiuyue didn't want to lie to Cheng Hui, so she relayed everything the doctor said to her.
In ancient times, medical conditions were limited and many diseases were difficult to treat effectively. Pneumonia, for example, could become difficult to treat or even lead to death if delayed.
Cheng Hui looked at Qiuyue's expectant eyes and said, "Okay, let's buy them together. Qiuyue, don't worry, we will find a way to treat your mother's illness."
"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am." Qiuyue pulled Qiuye to kneel down and kowtow together, but Cheng Hui stopped them quickly, saying that they would get hurt if they kowtowed like that.
Liu Yi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is indeed a kind-hearted person. In that case, let's sign the contract."
Liu Yi ordered the servant to prepare the contract, and asked someone to bring the mother of Qiuyue and her sisters. The servant soon brought a haggard woman with a thin body. Her eyes revealed fatigue and weakness. She kept covering her mouth with her hands and coughing. Her steps were a little staggering, as if a breeze could blow her down. Seeing this, Qiuyue and Qiuye hurried forward to support their mother.
"Mom, are you okay?" Qiuyue patted the woman's back with concern. "Mom, we found the owner. She's a kind-hearted lady. She's willing to take all three of us away and treat you."
Qiuyue's mother looked at her two daughters with eyes full of love and reluctance, and said with tears in her eyes: "You two should go with the boss. I won't go."
Qiuyue panicked when she heard this. She held her mother's hand tightly and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? How can we just abandon you?"
Qiu Ye was also sobbing beside her: "Mom, you must go with us, we can't live without you."
"You know my health condition. If I follow you, I will only be a burden to you. I will feel relieved if you live a good life with the boss." Qiuyue's mother showed a bitter smile on her face. She didn't want to leave her two children, but she had already contracted such a disease. The boss might be kind enough to take her away with him for a while, but as time went on, she couldn't work and had to see a doctor and take medicine. No matter how much kindness he had, it would be exhausted. By then, she would only be a burden to her two daughters and would be despised by others.
"Mom, no, we can't abandon you. If you don't leave, we won't leave either." Qiuyue hugged her shoulders and burst into tears.
Cheng Hui walked forward and gently held Qiuyue Niang's hand: "Auntie, don't worry. Since we have decided to buy you, we will be responsible for you. Don't worry, just follow us. We will find a doctor to treat you."
Xie Songlin also nodded and raised the contract in his hand: "Auntie, just come with me without worry. You see, we have already signed the contract."
Qiuyue Niang looked at Cheng Hui and Xie Songlin, tears glistening in her eyes. She felt their sincerity and kindness, and the worry in her heart gradually dissipated. She choked up and said, "Okay, thank you, boss. I'll go with you."
"Thank you, ma'am." Qiuyue bowed deeply to Cheng Hui, her movements solemn and pious.
"Okay, the silver has been given, let's go back now." Xie Songlin gave the silver to Liu Yi and put the stamped contract into his arms.
Xie Songlin took a group of people back to the shop first. He had not yet figured out how to accommodate Qiuyue and her mother and daughter. There happened to be an empty room in the backyard of the shop, so he arranged for them to stay in the shop first.
Qiuyue and Qiuye helped their mother to lie down in the side room. After settling their mother down, they were ready to start working. They directly took over Qian's work, asked what dishes to cook for lunch today, and started preparing.
"What's going on in Songlin...?" Qian was a little confused by the two little girls.
"It's okay, sister-in-law. Let this newly hired girl help you." Xie Songlin explained quickly, and then said to Qiuyue, "Qiuyue, you two don't have to rush to work. Make some porridge for your mother first. Don't make it too watery. Your mother needs nutrition now. I'll find a way to see a doctor."
Qiuyue looked at Xie Songlin gratefully and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Master. We will definitely work hard."
Xie Songlin carried his daughter to a corner and whispered, "Why don't you go check on Qiuyue's mother first?"
Xie Wanxing: "Wouldn't it be strange for others if I went in to see a doctor like this?"
Xie Songlin thought about it and said, "What should we do? We can't let Qiuyue Niang stay sick forever."
Xie Wanxing thought for a moment and then said, "How about we find a doctor to check on her first? I'll observe from the side. Once the doctor prescribes some medicine, I'll find some antibiotics and you can mix them in water for her to drink."
"Okay, that's it. I'll go get a doctor now." Xie Songlin thought this method was feasible and immediately went out to get a doctor.
