Tian An stopped and asked: "Are you talking to us?"
Tian An pointed at his group in disbelief, then looked around and found that the girl was looking straight at him with eyes full of pleading and hope.
Is there something wrong with this girl's brain?! A normal person would have the same reaction as the three of them just now! Even if they didn't despise them, they would have been disappointed!
Hearing Tian An's question, the girl immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed. Her sister, who was standing beside her, followed suit. For a moment, the entire venue was filled with the sound of the two sisters kowtowing, "Please, buy us!"
Tian An said nothing, looking at the two sisters carefully. He realized that these two sisters were different from the others here. Although they were in a desperate situation, there was still light in their eyes. The elder sister had a hint of stubbornness and determination in her bones, and the younger sister, though small, had clear eyes without impurities.
Such people have their own bottom line in their hearts and do things with principles. I think they are good people.
"Our family does farm work, which is very hard work. We don't live well and we don't eat well either." Tian An felt that he had to explain it clearly first, otherwise they would think that their family was well off!
Seeing that Tian An was willing to talk, the elder sister felt that there was hope and immediately said, "We are not afraid of hardship or fatigue. We can do any dirty or tiring work as long as we can have something to eat."
Tian An looked at his sister beside him and said, "But your sister is so young, what can she do?"
The younger sister didn't wait for her elder sister to help her. She raised her head and replied: "I can do everything, such as washing clothes, cooking, combing hair, embroidering, farming, and raising livestock."
Tian An looked at Xiaokang.
Xiaokang said: "Sister, why don't we buy them?"
Then he looked at Daniel.
Daniel said, "Just make the decision."
Seeing that Tian An still refused to give in, the county magistrate's daughter thought that the money might be inconvenient, so she pointed at the two sisters and asked the broker who was in charge of them, "How much do you want to sell them for?"
The broker nodded and bowed, "To answer the young lady, her two small ones weigh three taels and her four taels."
Tian An felt a little sad after hearing this. Two grown men were actually not as good as a cow!
The county magistrate's daughter frowned and said, "Maybe less?" She had just made a boast and couldn't go back on her word.
The broker said in embarrassment: "This was the price when I bought them before. Because they were brought by you, Miss, I didn't dare to make any money!"
The county magistrate's daughter was a little embarrassed: "This..."
Tian An saw that the county magistrate's daughter was in a difficult situation, so he said, "Sister Qianjin, thank you for saving us money. If you hadn't been here, we would have spent even more money. But we would like to trouble you to take a look at those indentures for us later. We have never dealt with them before and don't understand them."
Tian An's words relieved the county magistrate's daughter's embarrassment and praised her in passing. She thought this little girl was quite sensible and readily agreed: "Don't worry, it's all right with me here."
In fact, the county magistrate's daughter did help Tian An save a lot of money. If she hadn't been there, the broker would definitely have raised the price, and he would probably have to pay some silver to the yamen runners to register later.
The two sisters on the ground kowtowed a few more times happily when they saw that Tian An was willing to buy them, which caused the other servants to look down on them: How shameless! They are so happy to go to such a poor master's house. The master's house must have so much work to do that it must be exhausting. You will cry in the future!
Tian An and the others continued walking forward and saw a man in black tights lying limply on the ground.
Xiaokang looked at him with some fear, and pulled Tian An's hand and whispered, "Sister, what happened to that man? Is he dead?"
The brothel worker nearby said with witnessing the situation: "Young Master, he is not dead yet! He is just sick."
These people were brought here by the county magistrate's daughter, so they cannot be offended!
The county magistrate's daughter frowned, glanced at the man, and asked the dentist, "What's wrong with him? Why didn't you find someone to treat him?"
The broker did not dare to delay and quickly told the whole story.
It turned out that this was a guard who had fled with his master. On the way, he encountered bandits and was injured while trying to save his master. However, his master blamed him for not protecting their property. Without money, the master could not afford to sell him. He was only sold for two taels of silver due to his injuries, but the master still thought he was too cheap and useless.
The dealer only realized he was injured after buying him, and immediately regretted it to death. He was afraid that this would be a waste of money! No wonder it was so cheap.
The dentist thought that if he found a doctor to treat him and the disease was not cured, he would have to pay for the medical expenses, so he just ignored him and let him fend for himself.
Tian An: "...This brother is really unlucky. But he is very loyal."
When the broker saw Tian An asking him, he tentatively said, "If you want to buy him, I can give you a discount."
Tian An rolled his eyes and asked, "How cheap?"
Broker: "Two taels?"
Tian An: "You only spent two taels, it's not cheap at all."
The toothman gritted his teeth and said, "Then one or two."
Tian An looked at the dentist and said reluctantly, "He has injuries on his body. I'm afraid he will need more than one or two visits from the doctor. If he can't be cured, I will have to bury him. No, no, let's not do it."
The dentist thought that he had not hired a doctor for him because he was afraid that he would not be able to cure him and would have to pay him out of pocket. But when he heard Tian An say that he would still take care of the burial, he was immediately confused. He still had to pay out of pocket!
Finally, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and said, "If you want him, Miss, then I'll give him to you."
I comforted myself that it might as well be a gift so that it wouldn't be a waste of money.
Tian An was embarrassed for a long while before he said, "Oh! Forget it, I know some herbs. I'll go to the mountain and pick some herbs for him. Whether he can survive depends on his luck."
The dentist breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending the case out. He immediately said with a smile, "The young lady is kind-hearted. It's his good fortune. He will definitely be able to cure her, haha."
I bought two and got one for free. Suddenly, there are three more people working at home, and I saved a lot of money!
Tian An was delighted and praised the county magistrate's daughter again, making her feel embarrassed. If she hadn't been wearing a veil, one could have seen her blush.
"Sister Qianjin, we still need to hire two more farmhands, so we'll go back."
Qianjin was astonished: "Didn't you buy three people? Why do you still need to hire a farmhand?" Aren't people in the countryside said to be poor? Why did they buy servants and still hire a farmhand?
Tian An said with a look of shame: "The truth is that none of us three are very good at farming, and I guess the three new ones don't know how to farm either.
If we were to let the land grow any more crops, we would all starve. So we had to hire two more farmhands who knew how to farm.
But after buying these three, we don’t have much money left. We only have a budget of 100 wen per person, and we don’t know if we can hire anyone.”
