"Hey, look at you, aren't all deals negotiated? 30 taels, how about 30 taels? You can't bargain any further at this price, it's already very low."

Xia Youan complained, "No sincerity!" and walked away in disgust, too lazy to bargain with him.

"How about you give me a price, Miss? I'll see if I can sell it."

Xia Youan held up three fingers without even turning his head. "Three taels each. If you can sell it, then sell it. If you can't, forget it. At worst, I can just buy it somewhere else."

When the broker heard this, he immediately got angry. He originally thought he had been taken advantage of, but he didn't expect to be taken advantage of.

"Do not sell!"

Xia Youan didn't stop and continued walking out.

"Miss, you have to let me earn some money, I have collected 3 taels, and I have to spend money to eat and drink for such a long time, right?

I can't make no profit at all. Ten taels is my bottom price. If you're not satisfied with this price, then there's really no room for negotiation."

Xia Youan saw that the broker finally stated the bottom price, and then he slowly walked back.

“You know that you have been raising slaves for a long time, so you should know that it is not easy to sell slaves now.

Beichuan has just experienced a severe drought and has no harvest. Even wealthy businessmen have to eat sparingly to survive until the next year when grain is available. How can there be extra food to feed people?

If you don't sell it today, you will have to continue raising it until next year when the grain is harvested. You should know how much it will cost during this period.

Moreover, natural disasters don't usually occur in isolation. This year, the cold weather arrived early, and it's likely to be a cold winter. Look at what they're wearing. Are you sure they can survive this winter?

It costs money to buy cotton clothes? It costs money to buy bedding, right? And even if you have money, you can't necessarily buy them.

If I were you, I would sell it to anyone, no matter how much it cost."

Xia Youan's analysis was not without reason, and part of it was true, so the broker was shaken.

"Then you can't let me lose money. 5 taels, I'll sell it if you give me 5 taels."

Xia Youan shook his head, "3 taels, the price is the same for each size, otherwise no deal."

The dealer hardened his heart and said, "3 taels is 3 taels, but you have to buy all people. This is my last concession."

"make a deal!"

Xia Youan was in a very good mood. The people inside didn't know that they had all been bought. Even those who were chosen were still waiting for the judgment of fate.

When Qingying went in to bring people, she learned that they were all bought by the lady just now. She cried with excitement, and then became confused again. They didn't know what kind of situation was waiting for them.

After paying the deposit and getting the indenture, Xia Youan walked out with a large group of people.

Chu Moyuan was right. He bought them and saved them. But look at their current appearance. They are no better than beggars.

When we arrived at the yard, we saw two big men pulling a woman, who was struggling violently.

"I won't go. I already have a lover, and I won't be his concubine. Let me go, or I'll kill myself here."

A wealthy middle-aged man came over and said, "What's wrong with being my concubine? You'll have food and drink, and people to serve you. As long as you can give me a son, I will make you my wife."

"Bah! Who cares!"

"It's better for you to be obedient and follow me than to be picked and picked like livestock here. With your beauty, you can easily be bought by the women in the brothel.

"I'm not a ruthless person, otherwise I wouldn't come to a place like this to buy people." The middle-aged man patiently advised.

It can be seen that he is indeed a good person, if it weren't for the desire to have children.

Unexpectedly, the girl had a strong temper. She picked up a branch on the ground and scratched it on her face.

The rough branches scratched across his face, pulling up his skin and flesh, a shocking sight.

The woman glared at the middle-aged man, "Do you still want me to give birth to a son for you?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Why are you doing this?" Then he took out the indenture and returned it to the woman, "Since you don't want to, then take your indenture."

The woman was obviously stunned, looked at the middle-aged man in disbelief, and then quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Master, thank you. You are a good man. Master has spent the money. I cannot take the indenture. I am happy to be your maid. I can do any hard work."

"You are already in this state, what do I need you for? The master's family has no shortage of maids. If you feel bad about it, just wait until you have saved up some money and return it to the master."

Xia Youan knew that she was not the only fool in this world.

The middle-aged man left, and the woman sat dejectedly on the ground, not knowing where to go.

Xia Youan stepped forward and asked Qingying to take a silver ingot. "Use it to treat your wound. If it festers, it will be difficult to treat."

The woman raised her head and looked at Xia Youan, who was about the same age as her. Her strong heart finally collapsed and she burst into tears while sitting in the slave market.

"Don't cry, I didn't provoke you." Xia Youan was so scared that he took a step back.

The woman took the silver and handed the indenture to Xia Youan. "Thank you. Consider it as you buying me. I know I'm not worth the price, but I still have to buy out Brother Da Niu and his father."

"Your brother Daniu and the others are here too?"

"Yes! Brother Daniu was injured and is now running a high fever. Miss, please wait for me. I will be back soon."

The woman got up from the ground, ignoring the wound on her face, and was about to walk inside.

"Wait a minute," Xia Youan stopped the woman, then said to Qingying, "Go and buy Da Niu and his son back, then find a clinic to treat them."

The woman was pleasantly surprised and quickly knelt down again, kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss!"

Xia Youan quickly asked her to get up. Her face was already injured, and now her head was broken. How could she see?

Soon, Qingying came back with people and took them directly to the embroidery shop.

The charcoal basin was lit in the shop, and the slaves who were frozen purple finally felt a little better.

Xia Youan sent someone to the wholesale market to get cotton-padded clothes, quilts and other supplies, and asked them to wash and change into them.

The slaves changed their clothes and knelt on the ground, crying, "Thank you, Master. We will work hard and never go east if you tell us to go west."

"Just do your job well, I don't need anything else from you.

Those with good embroidery work will stay in the embroidery shop, and those with average embroidery work will be sent to the garment factory, and there will always be work for you.

There is only one thing, I can accept that you make small mistakes occasionally, but you cannot make mistakes in major issues.

"I won't tolerate any mistakes here. I won't tolerate any mistakes," Xia Youan admonished.

There were not many people in the shop, so there was no cook. Xia Youan asked them to cook some noodles to fill their stomachs.

"The young lady is so nice. She never ate white flour when she was at home." Many people finished the meal with tears in their eyes.

After the matter was over, Xia Youan was about to go back. "Qingying, you can arrange the rest. Xian Ling'er and I will go back first."

"Miss, you haven't given them names yet?"
