Having been doing business in the town for such a long time and running back and forth every day, Cao Xiangnan was familiar with the streets outside, but he was not so familiar with some places. The

one who was most familiar with the town was none other than Fang Zhanggui, so whenever he needed help, he would go to Fang Zhanggui. Fang Zhanggui could have asked a servant to take him to do the job, but Fang Zhanggui personally took him here.

Following Fang Zhanggui through many twists and turns, they arrived at the door of an old courtyard. Fang Zhanggui knocked on the door, and they stood at the door waiting. The door was opened soon. The one who opened the door for them was a hunchbacked old man. When he saw that it was Shopkeeper Fang, his eyes lit up and he bowed and kowtowed like a servant. "I heard the magpies calling outside this morning. I didn't expect Shopkeeper Fang to come today. This really makes our humble home glorious..." There were

still a lot of good things to say, but Shopkeeper Fang's face was pulled and he stretched out his hand to interrupt Huang's words.

"I don't know why Shopkeeper Fang came here today. I, Huang, can do something for Shopkeeper Fang." Huang was also a smart man. He knew when to stop. Seeing that Shopkeeper Fang didn't want him to continue talking so much nonsense, he stopped talking and still had a smiling face. That face was really a bit unfair to him.

As for Huang Yazi, as long as he is given money, he will definitely turn his right cheek to others if they want to hit him on the left cheek.

Those who know Huang Yazi know that he is a little beggar raised by an old beggar in the town. He used to be a beggar, and later he worked for rich families. He used to marry a lunatic, but later the lunatic ran out and was hit by a carriage and died. He has been living alone until now.

This man is a local tyrant in Fenshui Town. He knows everything about the big and small things in the town. He makes a living by selling information, and also helps some families in the town to buy and sell servants to make a few small money.

"You have some good stuff here recently. Pick out a few capable ones for my little brother." Fang, the shopkeeper, went straight to the point and didn't talk too much with Huang, knowing that Huang always had some good stuff.

"Capable ones?" Did Fang, the shopkeeper, have to go out in person to find capable ones? Huang thought Fang would find a few pretty ones to serve him when he came in person.

He knew that Fang had an old lover in Xixiang Hutong for many years, and he thought that Fang was tired of the old lover and wanted to find some fresh ones. There were also many people in this town who were interested in this, so they asked him to keep the good ones and send them to him.

Having been sneaking around in this town for half his life, he knows every family's secrets. The people who can stay active the longest in this world are not smart people, nor are they stupid people, but people like Huang who know the current situation.

"Well, are there any capable people?" Fang, the shopkeeper, asked Huang, who looked stupid and glared at him.

"Yes, yes, yes." Huang replied repeatedly.

Seeing that Fang, the shopkeeper, personally brought such a young man over, his mind changed, and his attitude towards this young man immediately changed for the 120th time. This was business coming to him, that was someone giving him money. He smiled with flattery on his face and said, "Young man, what kind of person are you looking for? Do you want someone who can work? I actually have a few who are pretty."

"Pretty is not important. I just want to find a few who are good at work, who can help with housework and take care of the children." Cao Xiangnan listened to Huang's words and knew that this person had misunderstood his meaning. The people he hired to work should work.

As soon as Huang's words came out, Fang, the shopkeeper, reprimanded him.

He was still a little uncomfortable with the way Fang Zhanggui and Huang Yazi talked about buying and selling people in the same casual tone as buying vegetables, but today he wanted to buy a few capable people, so he thought of Fang Zhanggui, knowing that he must have a way to buy people in this town.

When he was in Nanyang, he knew that there was a big market for buying and selling people in Nanyang, but he had never taken a look. For him, who came here from another world, he was really not used to selling people as commodities.

He had never thought of buying two servants to help his family. Wanfeng took care of three big and one small children at home by himself, and Xiangzi would help with the work when he grew up. But now there is Xiao Lele and Xiao Baoer at home. Xiao Baoer's status is different from others, so he dare not hire people in the village to help take care of the children. He had to think of buying two people who can do the work efficiently and steadily, so that they can help take care of the children and do housework.

"Yes, yes, yes, come with me, I will take you there." Huang Yazi stepped out of the door, with a hunched back and legs that seemed to be not very agile. On the way there, Huang Yazi told them that his bad feet would hurt in winter and he couldn't walk on the road. Now it is much better, "otherwise I'm afraid I can't take you here."

They listened to Huang Yazi's nagging all the way, and no one interrupted.

Cao Xiangnan didn't like Huang Yazi that much. He was too merciful and he was not a good person. If he was a good person, he wouldn't do this job. But everyone has his own way of survival, and he couldn't criticize others for surviving in this way.

"It's here." Huang Yazi knocked on the door roughly, and the door was opened from the inside. The man who came out to open the door was terrified. When he saw that it was Huang Yazi who came, and he brought people with him, he immediately knew what was going on.

This is a family. The youngest is only seven or eight years old, and the oldest is eleven or twelve years old. There is also a ten-year-old boy in the middle. The man in this family was only about 30 years old, and he had a sick woman. If he was not really desperate, he would not want to sell his entire family, including himself, to this sick woman to exchange for money for medical treatment.

So what he meant was that if anyone wanted to buy his child, they had to buy him and this sick woman together. Even if there were families who wanted to buy their boy, they turned around and left when they heard this.

I would buy a good and capable person, why would I buy a sick woman?

"Okay." No one expected that Cao Xiangnan would agree to the offer after hearing the condition, but he also had a condition, "I will pay for your treatment, but I can't guarantee whether he can be cured."

After learning about the family's situation, Cao Xiangnan found that there must be some blind loyalty and filial piety. In fact, Cao Xiangnan was more interested in the loyalty and loyalty of the men in this family, and the three children looked well-behaved and sensible. They were so hungry that they looked pale and skinny. Even if their father sold them to pay for their mother's treatment, they were willing and no one cried.

He was choosing people with good character. As for the two children, he would train them for a year or so, so that they could be useful in the future.

"Okay, okay, as long as you let me take this sick woman with me, I will be willing to work like a cow and a horse for you for the rest of my life." This honest man was willing to sell himself and his three children to pay for his wife's medical treatment.

The older children were already 11 or 12 years old, and they knew that their father had sold them to pay for their mother's medical treatment. Now that someone had bought them, it meant that they had money to pay for their mother's medical treatment. For this reason, they all cried and laughed, and knelt down to kowtow to their father after listening to his words.

"Thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor..."

"Get up quickly." Cao Xiangnan was shocked by their kneeling. He was a man who had never kneeled before his parents before. When had he ever been kneeled before? This really shocked him.

He had just entered the room and saw the person lying on the bed. He was not very old, in his early thirties, thin and skinny. He didn't seem to know what was wrong with him. It seemed that he was suffering from malnutrition and overwork. But no matter what, wasn't Dr. Luo still there? Sending the person to Dr. Luo for a checkup would reveal all the problems.

If he really couldn't be saved, he would have done his best.

"Hey, little brother, you..." Shopkeeper Fang saw that when someone came to pick people, it would be fine if he picked a healthy one, but he picked a sick one and had to take care of him. How could he accept this? He wanted to ask Cao Xiangnan to change his mind.

Originally, he planned to bring people here himself and help him pick a few capable people. Unexpectedly, he found such a family, some were sick, some were small, and he had to feed so many people for nothing. How could he buy them back?

"Brother, I think they are very good." Cao Xiangnan said with a smile, "Brother, you see they value friendship and loyalty, and these children are also filial, and they will be loyal to me in the future."

The heart of a person is priceless. Now he has this opportunity to help them, but what he gets is their whole family.

The family of four next to him stared at him, Cao Xiangnan gave them a soothing look, since he had decided to buy, he would buy it. And the younger one could be sent to school for a few years, and he would be able to help him after two years, "Brother, let's take them, so we don't have to run around."

"Yeah." Since Cao Xiangnan had made up his mind, Liu the shopkeeper couldn't say anything, he glared at Huang Yazi, who brought people here, let them pick a few good ones, and finally picked the old, sick and young ones.

Huang Yazi lowered his head, looking like he was waiting to be scolded, and didn't say anything.

Cao Xiangnan didn't notice the two people next to him "flirting", he told them a real situation at home, "If you don't want to, then forget it." He said.

"No, no, we are willing, we are willing." The kneeling people were about to kowtow, but Cao Xiangnan stopped them. With the sign of Manager Liu here, they quickly completed the formalities and bought the person.

This family was not originally from Fenshui Town. They came from other places. They wanted to hire a doctor who could cure the illness of their family member. Now they are penniless and have to sell themselves.

Now Cao Xiangnan is willing to pay some money to cure the illness, and he has successfully obtained such a family.

When he took the people away, he gave Huang Yazi a small piece of silver, and they left. When Huang saw the small amount of silver in his hand, he

threw it up twice before putting it in his pocket and limping away.
