"These poor fellows are so stingy, how can it be given for free?"
The fat woman with a jade bracelet on her hand said as if imparting experience, "Tsk, you don't understand. Anyone who loves his children a little bit should know that if you leave the child at home, he will starve to death. Selling him can still let the child survive. After all, if there is a shortage of food elsewhere, how can we be short of it in our house?"
"There are those who are heartless and don't love their children. They only care about money. Oh, their children will naturally follow us. If they dare to stop us, they will be going against Master Zhang!"
The other person immediately flattered happily, "Sister Jin is right. This is the way to deal with poor people. We can keep the money distributed by the government and buy some nice clothes."
"Xiao Cui, just learn more from me. I will never let you suffer any loss if you follow Sister Jin." Sister Jin said as her small eyes, almost invisible because of her round face, looked around.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he walked straight towards Lin Jiuxi and the others.
"You two sisters are really good-looking! You're a good seedling." Sister Jin looked Lin Jiuxi up and down as she came over, and was very satisfied when she saw Xiao Yueran.
Being around my sister makes me feel at ease.

Sister Jin never expected that among these poor people, she would meet someone so graceful, beautiful, capable and charming.
"Are you two sisters from the Zhang family? My children don't want money. I have two daughters who are both very hardworking and may be working. I beg you two beautiful sisters to sell my daughters in." A man with a dark face said humbly.
"Xiao Cui, you are still too young. Even if these two and you are not that poor, we can just give them one or two taels of silver. Their parents will have to agree even if they refuse! We are from the Zhang family." Sister Jin did not stand up for the black-faced man.
"What Sister Jin said is really worth the two or three taels of silver!" Xiao Cui was also very happy about this.
As expected, Lin Jiuxi had learned from the proprietress and Yongming that the Shibali store was now controlled by Zhang Chen, a relative of Princess Xuan. However, seeing these two people wearing red and green, and looking fat, they looked different from the stingy Zhang Chen that the proprietress had mentioned, so he had some doubts.
Sister Jin shook her head. "What do you know? Although we are unwilling to pay for our eldest master, it is different for the third master. These two girls are good-looking. If we give the eldest girl to the third master, she will definitely become a concubine. How can we benefit less? If we raise this little girl for another two years, oh, it will be another large sum of money."
Although they were not very fat, they were well-nourished. Compared with the other disaster victims who were starving and skinny and had pale faces, their complexions were rosy and as bright as spring flowers, and they looked very beautiful.
"But it costs money..." Then she can't embezzle the money.
Who doesn't love money? Even though the little girl was pretty, she felt a bit disappointed that she couldn't sell her right away.
The two men made up their minds and went straight to Lin Jiuxi to ask, "Whose families are you two girls from? We are recruiting people in the Zhang Mansion. If you are willing to come with us, we will not only give you money, but also guarantee that you will have delicious food and drinks, and you will never have to worry about going hungry again."
The fat lady named Xiao Cui was a little dissatisfied and muttered, "I'm afraid there is still some money at home. Look at the clothes she is wearing, and there is still money to buy candied haws!"
Xiao Cui snorted, "You are so ugly. Even if you gave birth to two daughters, could they be as pretty as these two? Looking at your face, I can't even eat. Let your daughters come into the mansion and let them enjoy the good life, but it's me who suffers. Get out of here quickly and don't get in my way."
The two were stunned. They didn't expect that this girl was so knowledgeable that she even knew her master's name.
"Since the name has been given, isn't it to let people know who he is? Even if it is the name of Emperor Nangong Li, there is nothing I dare not say." Lin Jiuxi would naturally not be scared by such a small figure, and still spoke calmly.
Xiao Cui asked sternly, "Since you know our family, how dare you call our master by his name?"
The reason was simple: he felt that such a powerful woman could take care of the Third Master's backyard, and if he could follow her, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.
A candied haws was only one cent, and Lin Jiuxi bought two for only two cents.
But now that food is expensive, the price of steamed buns, which originally cost one cent for two, has risen to five cents each.
Sister Jin said gently and kindly, "This girl is quite knowledgeable. I wonder what your maiden name is? You will be a perfect match for my Third Master. If you marry our Third Master as a concubine, you will definitely live a life of wealth and luxury. You will be able to wear silk and satin clothes, eat crystal pork elbows, and have a different meal every day. Even the buns will have eighteen kinds of fillings."
Unlike Xiao Cui who was suppressed and speechless, Sister Jin liked Lin Jiuxi more and more.
Many people around had heard that they were people from the Zhang residence who came to buy a maid, and now even more people had gathered. After listening to Sister Jin's description, they felt even more hungry and their mouths were watering.
Even Xiao Yueran, who was being stared at by those hungry wolf-like eyes, was suppressed by her aura. She calmly licked the candied haws in her hand and held back the tears that were about to fall.
"From Zhang Chen's house?" Lin Jiuxi asked.
Xiao Cui said, "But in this case, how can we bring people into the mansion without spending any money?"
As for the clothes on his body, Lin Jiuxi was not a person who cared much about wealth and glory. Instead, he felt that cheap cotton clothes were comfortable to wear. There was not even any embroidery on them, which was very simple.
"What's wrong with this? It looks nice!" Sister Jin said curiously.
As soon as she said this, someone came to ask.
They looked at Sister Jin with an obsessed look on their faces, wishing that they would be the ones to be sold into the mansion immediately. Those who had sons and daughters were even thinking about how to get their children into the Zhang Mansion so that they could also live such a good life.
"No need for that. Eating and drinking delicious food is the people's hard-earned money. What's the difference between that and eating dead people's bones? Have they ever worked in the fields or done anything else? You are willing to be zombies, but I am not." Lin Jiuxi pulled Xiao Yueran and turned away.
She couldn't attract too much attention now. If she attracted Zhang Chen's attention, it would be difficult for her to hide here. She could only leave first.
Since Sister Jin and the others wanted to hire people, Lin Jiuxi was unwilling to stop them, just as Sister Jin had said before.
Those who are willing to sell their children are actually the parents who truly want their children to survive.
