In her previous life, Chen Shuilin was a wicked mother-in-law notorious throughout the ten surrounding villages. Not only was she cruel to her daughter-in-law, but she was also unkind to her two du...
"Okay, let's go check it out."
When the woman who was bought heard that Chen Shuilian wanted to buy someone else, she hesitated to speak.
Her hands tightened unconsciously, but she finally gritted her teeth and said to Chen Shuilian with difficulty: "Madam, you still want to buy someone, can you take a look at my son..."
The more she spoke, the less confident she felt. She was afraid that Chen Shuilian would get angry about this and not want her anymore.
Chen Shuilian was not angry. She asked curiously, "Your son? Which one is it?"
It is also good for the whole family to buy it together, which is convenient for control. As long as their family members are under control, the other one will not dare to do anything tricky.
The woman was overjoyed. She waved and shouted, "Erniu, come here quickly!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a young and strong boy ran out quickly from the corner.
But after he ran over, he huddled behind the woman, not moving a single muscle.
Chen Shuilian: “…”
She couldn't help but touch her face. Did she have an expression that looked like she could eat someone???
Or has this person heard of her notorious reputation?
I was so scared of her when we first met...
This was quite embarrassing, and Chen Shuilian couldn't help but want to defend herself: Child, she really doesn't eat people...
The woman became anxious when she saw the boy's timid look.
She pulled the boy out from behind her with force and pushed him towards Chen Shuilian.
The woman smiled flatteringly at Chen Shuilian, "Madam, it's him. He is strong and has endless energy. He can do anything!"
Despite the woman's pushing, the boy still shrank his neck and said nothing.
The woman stamped her feet anxiously, "Say something, you idiot!"
"Hello, Madam..."
The boy's voice was as weak as a mosquito's.
If Chen Shuilian didn't listen carefully, she couldn't hear what he said.
Chen Shuilian: “…”
I'm afraid there's something wrong with this person.
Seeing Chen Shuilian frowning, the broker stepped forward and laughed dryly, "Haha, please forgive me, please forgive me. This kid is like this to everyone. It's not directed at you. Please don't be angry."
Another broker also helped, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, this kid is shy and doesn't like to talk, otherwise he wouldn't be so strong and hasn't been bought yet. But don't worry, he is definitely a good worker, and he is cheap, only five taels of silver. For a young man like this, who wouldn't want fifteen taels of silver at least?"
The dentist felt guilty after hearing this. He took a quick look at the boy. He was a good young man, tall and strong, with a muscular body. How could he be so timid?
He can be timid, but he can't be this timid...
I really misjudged it at that time. If it couldn't be sold, it would be a waste of his money.
It’s not like there were people who had taken a fancy to this boy before. With his physique, it would be great to take him home to guard the house.
But he happened to have such a bad personality. If anything really happened, he would be the first one to faint from fright.
He is definitely not capable of guarding the house. He is timid and afraid to speak, and not smart at all.
Even if he sold it at a very low price, those who could afford servants wouldn't be short of that little money.
Now that a customer finally asked about it, the broker tried his best to say nice things and just wanted to get rid of him.
The woman didn't understand this, she was very grateful and looked at the broker and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, my son is shy and doesn't like to talk much, but he can work without any problems. Madam, please consider him. He is so cheap, you can buy us together. We, mother and son, will do our best to serve you like slaves."
As a mother, she was of course very anxious, as her family had fled to this county to escape famine.
The family of five had finally made it here, but in the end only she and the timid second child were left.
