As soon as the door opened, Shen Yu'an saw that in addition to the piles of sundries and firewood in the woodshed, there were two men, one big and one small.
The smaller one looked only seven or eight years old, while the older one was lying on the ground with only a tattered mat spread on the floor.
You could also see dried blood on the back of the man's clothes.
The sound of the door opening startled the child. He used his body to block the man lying on the ground and looked in the direction of Shen Yu'an and others.
When the child saw the broker coming, he immediately fell to his knees and begged, "Please don't throw my dad out. Please."
The broker waved his hand unhappily.
The man in the house was beaten badly, and he developed a high fever just a few days after being in his care.
It costs a lot of money to see a doctor. A slave who made a mistake and was sold is not worth his money to see a doctor.
Originally, we moved him to this woodshed because we thought that if his illness got any more serious, we could wrap him up in a mat and throw him out to the suburbs, so that he wouldn't die here and bring bad luck to him.
But if the girl could buy both the woman and the child, he could buy two and get one free and give her the half-dead man as well.
He doesn't have to carry the dead body by himself.
Thinking of this, the broker looked at Shen Yu'an and said with a flattering smile: "Look, young lady, although this man is injured now, if he recovers, he will definitely be a good guard at home."
Shen Yu'an saw through his little thoughts but was too lazy to expose them.
Fei Xi, who was behind Shen Yu'an, leaned close to her and whispered, "Girl, this man has calluses on his hands from practicing with the sword."
Shen Yu'an nodded, which meant that he was indeed quite capable.
The cooking skills of the woman named Tian Qiu were indeed quite to her taste, but it was just a matter of buying food for two more people, which she was originally planning to do.
Tian Qiu stood behind and observed Shen Yu'an's expression. Seeing Shen Yu'an hesitate, his heart was in a knot.
"Girl, I can also do the job of guarding the house, so buy me."
The old woman who was cooking just now shouted and tried to pull Shen Yu'an to turn towards her.
Fei Xi quickly pushed the old woman aside, turned around and glared at her, "If you say anything more, I'll cut off your tongue!"
The old woman was frightened by Fei Xi's sudden fierce look. She covered her mouth, took two steps back, and whispered, "Well, no more, no more."
The ears finally quieted down, and Shen Yuan said: "I want both Tian Qiu and her son."
The broker grinned, knowing that this meant that Tian Qiu and his family of three were all bought out, and said to the kneeling boy, "Why don't you thank your new boss quickly?"
Tian Qiu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly went into the house and knelt down with the boy, kowtowed to Shen Yu'an and thanked him.
Shen Yu'an raised his hand to stop him. If he kept knocking, it would not be just one person going to the clinic to see a doctor.
The man lying on the ground was awakened by the noise. Tian Qiu quickly knelt down and moved to the man's side and said, "You are saved. I will find a doctor to treat your injuries after I get my monthly salary."
The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but he looked up at the people standing at the door and finally did not speak.
He raised his hand with great effort and patted Tian Qiu's hand, then he got up from the ground and kowtowed three times to Shen Yu'an.
Tian Qiu's husband is named Huang Ji and their son is named Huang Yuan.
Thinking of what Tian Qiu said about Huang Yuan having been a servant before, Shen Yu'an wanted to buy a few more for Shen Dalang and the others to use.
It's just that the broker didn't have any suitable candidate, so Shen Yu'an could only put this idea aside for the time being.
However, he did buy a few people with some skills. In addition to Chen Quan and Tian Qiu's family of three, Shen Yu'an also bought five other people.
After handing over the money and the people, the man handed over the indentures of Chen Quan and others to Shen Yu'an, who put them in his arms and smuggled them into the space.
Huang Yuan's face was red from fever, but he still stood up with the help of Tian Qiu and followed Shen Yu'an closely.
After walking out of the dental clinic, Shen Yu'an stopped, and the long line of people following her also stopped.
San Lang asked, "Sister, where are we going?"
Chen Yu'an looked at Huang Ji, who was frowning with every step he took, and said, "Let's find a clinic to see him first."
Tian Qiu's family of three looked at Shen Yu'an in shock.
Tian Qiu originally thought that it was a great favor that Shen Yu'an was willing to buy Huang Ji together. She thought that if Huang Ji could survive another month, she would help him with his medical treatment with the monthly salary. However, her master actually said that she wanted to find a clinic to treat Huang Ji.
Seeing that they were about to kneel down and kowtow to express their gratitude again, Shen Yu'an asked Feixi and Sanlang to pull them up.
She said, "I'll consider the money for your medical treatment as a loan to you, and I'll deduct it from your monthly salary in the future. Are you willing?"
Tian Qiu quickly said, "Yes, I am willing to do so. Thank you very much, Miss."
Shen Yu'an asked the several strong men he had bought to help Tian Qiu and Huang Yuan support Huang Ji.
Shen Yu'an had another thing to do when he came to town, which was to find a few shops to prepare in advance.
This place is close to Zhuangzhai Yahang, so Shen Yuan plans to go directly from here to see the shop.
She kept the man named Chen Quan, and asked Feixi and Sanlang to take the bought people to the clinic and asked them to wait there.
Chen Quan asked: "Master, where are we going?"
Chen Quan is a little chubby, and if he stands with Feixi, they look like two brothers.
It’s just that Chen Quan looks kinder than Feixi.
"Zhuang's dental clinic, look at a few shops."
After walking only two yards forward, Shen Yu'an arrived at the Zhuangzhai Yahang.
There were several pieces of drawing paper on the table of the pawnshop, on which were drawn the houses or shops that were to be sold or rented out.
There was only one person in the shop, sitting behind the counter and using an abacus. When he saw Shen Yu'an and Chen Quan come in, he just glanced at them and said, "Do you want to see a house or a shop? The tables on the left are for rent, and the tables on the right are for sale. You can look for yourselves."
Shen Yu'an and Chen Quan walked in and bent down to look at the several sheets of drawing paper on the table.
The general layout of the house or shop has been drawn on the drawing paper, and Shen Yu'an first looks at the ones that are being sold.
Chen Quan saw that Shen Yu'an had been looking at it for a long time but had not decided on any one, so he asked, "Master, do you want to buy a shop? What do you want to do with it?"
Shen Yuan gave him a look and whispered, "Selling grain, which shop do you think is more suitable?"
Chen Quan was still a little shocked when he heard Shen Yu'an say he wanted to sell grain.
According to his observation, although Shen Yu'an's clothes were nice, they were not made of silk, which was popular among the young ladies of the wealthy families in the town. Instead, they were made of cotton.
So when he saw Shen Yu'an coming to see the shop, he thought she wanted to buy a shop to do some rouge and powder business or open a restaurant.
After all, when Shen Yu'an bought someone from the dental clinic, the first thing he looked for was someone who knew how to cook.
However, he quickly adjusted his expression and looked carefully at the shops on the drawing paper.
