The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby
Chapter 89: The Trouble with Buying People
To be honest, Yu Ruyue knew that this place would be terrible, but she didn't expect it to be even worse than she imagined.
In this place, humans are no different from animals...
Yu Ruyue swallowed her saliva, trying to make her voice sound normal. "I want to buy two maids, the kind who can cook and embroider."
This person immediately smiled and said, "You three came at the right time. I just got a few maids a few days ago. I heard that they used to stay in the kitchen. Their cooking is definitely delicious."
Yu Ruyue nodded, "Okay! Then bring it out for me to see."
Renya immediately waved his hand at the person who was talking nonsense next to him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring that person out."
The man quickly bowed and nodded flatteringly, then walked towards the house inside.
The remaining people saw the Yu family's obviously unhappy expressions and quickly smiled and comforted them, "You all look kind-hearted. It's normal for you to feel a little uncomfortable when you first come to this filthy place. But don't feel pity for these people just because they are pitiful."
"The woman who was just dragged out was originally a maid in a wealthy family. She ended up hooking up with the family's son-in-law and was sold here. The other man was even more shameless. He relied on his previous strong body to force many young maids. He even almost raped the young lady of that family. That's why he was sold here to suffer."
"Everyone in the cage is a bad person. The reason we treat them so rudely is to teach them a lesson so they can serve their master better in the future."
Yu Ruyue and the other two nodded. Indeed, if it was true as Ren Ya said, then those locked in the cages were indeed not worthy of sympathy.
"Hit him!"
"Hurry up! Aren't you good at martial arts? Hurry up! Otherwise, you and your mother will have no dinner tonight."
Yu Ruyue looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people gathered there watching the fun.
She asked curiously, "What are those people doing?"
"Sir, it's just that a new slave with high martial arts skills has arrived, so everyone gathered together to have some fun."
"How dare you do this, you martial arts masters? Aren't you afraid that he will resist?"
The man sneered, "We have his indenture in our hands. Even if he runs out of this alley, he'll be caught quickly. After all, household registration documents are difficult to move, not to mention that he has his mother in our hands!"
Yu Ruyue nodded and stood on tiptoe, only seeing the afterimage of the man swinging his fist and his strong and powerful muscles.
I go!
She had been in ancient times for such a long time, and all she had seen were intrigues and petty fights. She had never seen such a martial arts master!
She couldn't take her eyes away!
After all, who among those who grew up watching Jin Yong’s TV series doesn’t have a martial arts dream?
The person next to him kindly reminded, "Miss, don't be fooled by his good looks. He is the son of a criminal, and his family has committed a serious crime."
Yu Ruyue nodded and immediately retracted her gaze.
She began to think in her heart that her business would become bigger and bigger in the future, and more powerful people would be watching her. At this time, she would need a person with great martial arts skills to accompany her parents, and the person in front of her was the best candidate. After all, he had an obvious weakness, which was his mother.
But this man's identity as the son of a sinner is a bit difficult to deal with...
"Boss! They've brought the people here. They're these little girls."
Yu Ruyue collected her thoughts and looked at the neatly dressed girls in front of her and asked, "Tell me about your specialty dishes first."
The maids immediately rushed to speak. Yu Ruyue squinted her eyes and roughly figured out who was telling the truth and who was embellishing her resume.
"Okay! Who among you can embroider? Make clothes?"
The little maids immediately started talking again.
"Well! Then who among you can serve? I have too many men in my family."
Suddenly, the eyes of two little maids lit up, and they quickly stood out from the crowd, even puffing out their chests, with self-satisfaction in their eyes.
The others also racked their brains, thinking of their own strengths, but one of them, a chubby little girl, lowered her head with some sadness.
Yu Ruyue was puzzled, "Why are you lowering your head, little girl?"
She said embarrassedly, "Miss, I have always stayed in the kitchen in my previous master's house, so I don't know how to serve people, let alone men."
Yu Ruyue pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I think these girls are good, but our family is really a bit poor. All our money combined is only enough to buy one to take back to the village!"
Liang Shulan immediately understood, "My dear daughter! One is enough. Let the little girl do all the housework. As long as she doesn't get tired to death, that's all that matters!"
As a result, after he said this, the little girls who had actively recommended him at the beginning all retreated, and their eyes were even a little evasive.
They all came from wealthy families before, so even if they were sold to human ivory again, they were not treated unfairly. They just hoped that these skilled and worldly-wise maids could be sold at a good price.
They thought they had met a rich man, but it turned out to be a peasant. The gap was so huge that they found it hard to accept.
Only the chubby girl who said she couldn't serve others raised her hand. "My family used to live in the village. Although I don't know how to serve others, I am very hardworking! I don't eat much."
Yu Ruyue looked at her round face and wondered why she didn't eat much.
But these little girls all have their own ideas, and only this one is pretty good.
After all, they are indeed from the village, and they cannot deceive these little maids who want to climb up the social ladder.
"Okay! Then I'll take this little girl!"
The man smiled and said, "Okay! Ten taels of silver!"
Yu Ruyue's eyes widened. "What are you talking about eight taels of silver? Don't think I don't know the market here. A maid under 13 years old can only be sold for four or five taels of silver at most. Only an older maid aged fifteen or sixteen can be sold for more than ten taels of silver."
"If you continue to be so dishonest, I'll go somewhere else. If I remember correctly, there's also a slave market in the east of the city."
Yu Ruyue walked away angrily, snorting in her heart, isn't this just a fool lying in a tiger's pit?
The smile on Ren Ya's face froze as he watched Yu Ruyue turn and leave. He had just been testing the waters, and these three people were clearly new here, so how did they know so much? It seemed he couldn't fool them anymore today.
So he hurriedly stopped them, "Three gentlemen, please don't leave. I was just joking with you. Five taels of silver is the lowest price. This little girl is already 13 years old this year, and she has great skills. It's definitely worth buying her."
Yu Ruyue stopped herself when she heard this. She turned around and looked at the little girl who was about to cry. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Alright! Five taels is five taels. Then you have to find me another girl who is as powerful as her!"
Before Ren Ya could even open his mouth, the chubby little girl immediately raised her hand and said, "I know! I have a good friend who works in the kitchen just like me. She's much better at making clothes than I am, and she can even embroider."
Ren Ya glared at the chubby girl with some displeasure, "You have no right to speak here. You keep talking too much!"
The little girl seemed to take advantage of the fact that someone was buying her, and she immediately straightened her back and said, "What's wrong with what I said? Isn't it because you think my little sister is pretty that you want to buy her as a beauty pot?"
After she finished speaking, she knelt down in front of Yu Ruyue, her eyes red as she said, "She is a really nice person. Please buy her, Miss."
