Chapter 166 The Buyer

"Born into a family," Mu Yi'an now thinks is a good thing, at least she doesn't have to worry about his background.

After waiting for a while, the broker brought over three old women, who were in their thirties or forties.

Mu Yi'an pulled Li Qiuniang over to take a look, whispered some of her experiences to her, and gestured for her to speak on her own.

"I think the brokerage firm has already told you that my family is a small, ordinary household. The tasks we need to do are simple but not easy. Think it over carefully, so you don't end up troubling the brokerage firm again because you can't handle them."

Li Qiuniang's words were quite right; two of the three old women had hesitation in their eyes.

“Madam, I am just an ordinary citizen and I am not afraid of hardship.”

One of the women, who was in her thirties, said something cautiously and then lowered her head.

Mu Yi'an and the others had already learned that this woman had suffered a devastating tragedy; her husband and child had encountered wolves while hunting in the mountains. The man died, and the child was also seriously injured. They sold all their possessions to pay for the child's medical treatment, but ultimately, they couldn't save him.

She sold herself in order to provide for the burial of her husband and children.

Li Qiuniang took a liking to this woman. She seemed a bit timid, but as long as she was honest and hardworking, that was fine.

Jiang Qi had a suitable family: a couple with a twelve-year-old daughter. They had previously been servants to a landlord, but the landlord squandered his fortune, and they were sold off. Mu Yi'an wasn't short of money, so she took them all.

Mu Yi'an wanted to find pageboys and maids for her two children, but in the end, she bought a whole family.

The man was previously an accountant in the outer courtyard of a wealthy family, but he was framed and abandoned by his master.

Women know how to comb hair; they used to comb the hair of the mistresses and young ladies of the household.

There are two children, a five-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy.

Mu Yi'an inquired about the background of the brokerage family, and the brokerage had already investigated and confirmed it was true.

The family was in need of an accountant, and the little girl was the right age, so Mu Yi'an bought her.

She also took a liking to two boys, both around seven or eight years old, whom she could train and who would prove useful.

This trip was very rewarding!

Mu Yi'an first took them to a familiar clinic to have their pulse checked to make sure they didn't have any illnesses.

For the time being, Mu Yi'an's family will not need to buy any more servants; they already have enough.

Hopefully, their family will also have their own male heirs in the future, which was also a form of wealth in ancient times.
