When Gu Fei heard Mrs. Qian’s words, she was so surprised that she even forgot to eat the steamed bun.
Only those who were interested in buying things will be picky about the price. If they don’t want to buy something, it is none of their business, whatever the price. Could it be that Mrs. Qian wants to buy this girl?
The woman’s body was trembling slightly, and the girl named Lian’er was kneeling on the ground with her head lowered as if she were very embarrassed.
The woman suddenly turned to Mrs. Qian, “Sister, how can that be? Lian’er is very strong. Not only can she do the work at home, but she can also go to the fields. You won’t suffer any loss when you buy her back.”
Mrs. Qian rolled her eyes and thought about it, she was a little tempted.
Gu Zhong was a hands-off shopkeeper who did nothing but drive cars and carry water.
Her damn daughter, Xing’er, was disobedient, especially now. Once she just says a few words to her, she will run away.
Now the old lady doesn’t help her anymore.
Bao’er was a child who refused to walk. Today she carried him for an hour and Xing’er carried him for an hour.
If she buys this girl to be a child bride for Bao’er, not only she can help her with the work, but also carry Bao’er on her back when they are on the road. In the future, she won’t have to spend money on Bao’er to find a wife. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
But it also means having one more person’s rations, which made Mrs. Qian reluctant.
She then thought about it, what was she afraid of? The food she brought home wouldn’t last long, and she wasn’t planning to buy anything. But even if that’s the case, can Gu Zhang just watch his eldest brother’s family starve to death?
The more Mrs. Qian thought about it, the more she found it feasible. Gu Zhang gave their family food, and her family had a girl to work for free. It couldn’t be any better.
She sneered at the woman: “Just a bucket of coarse grain, no more. Sell it or not.”
The woman hesitated.
Mrs. Chen suddenly sneered, “It seems that my sister-in-law’s family hasn’t run out of food, she can even buy someone to help her.”
“I’m going to say something ugly first. If your food is gone, don’t ask us for it! Our food is not enough!”
Mrs. Qian didn’t expect Mrs. Chen to see through her inner plan. She frowned and said: “Your family is great at eating white noodles. Why do you look down on others?”
Mrs. Chen just sneered beside her.
The woman was afraid that Mrs. Chen would disrupt the business, so she hurriedly said: “Just exchange it for a bucket of coarse grains.”
Mrs. Qian was hesitant. Mrs. Chen was a powerful person. If she said no, she might not give it.
She wanted to buy people, but she couldn’t bear to part with the food. If she doesn’t buy people, she can’t get help.
Gu Zhong frowned: “Are you crazy? We don’t have enough food to eat right now. Why are you buying people?”
The woman quickly pulled Lian’er, turned around, and kowtowed to Gu Zhong: “Brother, just buy this girl. She doesn’t eat much. She can survive on just two steamed buns a day.”
At this time, Zhang Laoda suddenly laughed and said: “Bao’er, your mother can’t wait to buy you a wife!”
“Hahahahaha” Everyone laughed.
Zhang Laoda smiled happily when he saw everyone, his little face was full of pride.
Hearing this, Lanzhi grabbed the corner of Gu Fei’s clothes tightly. People bought a girl for only a bucket of rice!
But her net worth was one thousand eight hundred taels of silver!
She hasn’t done any work yet!
How precious is food right now? She also knows that if the Gu Family runs out of money one day, she is afraid that she will be the first to be sold!
At this time, Gu Erlang next to her whispered: “Don’t be afraid, even if there is no food at home, I will protect you and find food for you, and I won’t sell you.”
Lanzhi looked down and saw that the corner of Xiao Fei’s clothes she was grabbing was the corner of Gu Erlang’s clothes!
When did he sit next to her?
Lanzhi let go of her hand with a flushed face, feeling extremely panicked.
