"This is a thank you gift. Thank you for watching over me." The traveling merchant insisted. This time it was his fault for being careless and he actually fell asleep outside. Fortunately, the people he met were all good people.
He came from the grassland, but he had some strange disease that made him sleep very soundly and could not wake up at all. Normally, he should not go out alone, but he had reasons to go.
"You don't need that. Just find an inn to stay in." Ye Wanwan didn't take the money. Instead, she took Ye Ansheng's hand and prepared to leave.
Ye Bufan and Fang went to the grocery store, and Lin Xu'an went to the bookstore. Calculating the time, it was just the right time for them to meet at the bookstore and go home together.
"Girl, just keep it. Otherwise, it would be bad if I leave it here and it falls." The traveling merchant put the silver on the table and then waved goodbye.
Ye Wanwan picked up the silver on the table and weighed it. She thought, "Ansheng, let's go buy some paper and pens."
"Okay! I just don't know what's wrong with this guy. I hope nothing will happen." Ye Ansheng naturally took Ye Wanwan's hand, and the two walked towards the bookstore together.
After listening to what Ye Ansheng said, Lin Xu'an whispered, "I read in a book that this is a tribal curse. Maybe he's thanking you for not hurting him."
"What kind of curse? A curse that makes you fall asleep and can't be woken up?" Even though Ye Wanwan thought she had seen the system and was knowledgeable, she had never heard of this kind of curse.
Lin Xu'an nodded. What was written in the ancient books turned out to be true. The world is so big that there are really all kinds of wonders.
Ye Ansheng covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. This, this was too weird.
"Okay, it's just this one accidental meeting, and we won't see each other again." Lin Xu'an touched Ye Ansheng's head and comforted him softly.
Ye Ansheng nodded repeatedly. It would be better if this kind of thing didn't happen to him. He couldn't stand it.
"Help, help, Dad, I can make money, please don't sell me..." On the street, a girl wearing gray clothes and two braids cried loudly, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Several thugs stood aside, holding clubs, coldly looking at the girl hugging the pillar. They had seen this kind of thing many times before. A son pays for his father's debts. What else could be said? If anyone wanted to blame someone, it was just bad luck.
"Li San, what does this mean? Your daughter doesn't want to go?" The leading stick swung up and down, poking at the chin of the middle-aged man standing nearby, and asked gloomily.
The man called Li San immediately knelt down and quickly crawled to the girl's side, crying, "Girl, I have no choice. I owe five taels of silver. If you don't pay it back, they will chop off my father's hand."
"Dad, that's a brothel! How could you do this to me? Mom, does Mom know?" The teenage girl turned her head away, not wanting to look at her father who was crying.
Ye Wanwan touched the five taels of silver in her pocket, pulled Lin Xu'an's hand, and whispered, "How about we help her? These five taels of silver are free anyway."
She couldn't handle all of this kind of thing, but since she had encountered it, she always felt a little uncomfortable if she had to stand by and watch. So she just pretended that she didn't have the "ill-gotten gains" given by the traveling merchant today.
Lin Xu'an looked at Ye Wanwan and shook his head in disapproval. "That man owed money to the gambling house. You can save that girl once, but you can't save her forever."
"Then I'll use the money to buy her, and she'll follow me from now on. That should be okay, right?" Ye Wanwan asked, looking up, feeling a little reluctant.
While the two were discussing, the other side had already ignored everything else and started fighting. The little girl's crying and cries for help were endless. Those who couldn't bear to watch could only turn around and leave silently. There was no other way.
"Stop, let her go. I'll buy her for five taels of silver." Ye Wanwan walked up and protected the crying little girl behind her.
The leading man turned his gaze to Li San, waiting for him to make a decision. After all, their gambling house only wanted the five taels of silver, and nothing else mattered.
"Then sell it to this girl, girl. From now on, you will be hers." Looking at the silver in Ye Wanwan's hand, Li San breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, as long as the money was paid back, he didn't mind where that bitch went.
The girl, whose tears had not yet dried, wanted to cry again after hearing this, "Dad, are you still going to sell me?"
"Girl, it's better to follow this girl than to go to a brothel! I have raised you for so many years, you can't just watch me die." Seeing the debt collector left, Li San immediately became arrogant. After angrily scolding the debt collector, he threw down the written indenture contract, turned around and left without even looking back.
What an unfilial daughter! Didn't she see that he was about to die? She was still talking. If she had known earlier, she would have sold him to a brothel. Next time, he would definitely win back.
"Okay, I will treat you well. What's your name?" Ye Wanwan took out a handkerchief, helped wipe her tears, and asked in a low voice.
The little girl sobbed and whispered, "My name is Li Zhaodi. Thank you, Master, for saving me."
"Then how about changing your name from now on? I'll just call you Wushuang, okay?" Ye Wanwan paused. The phenomenon of favoring boys over girls was still the same as before.
The little girl was a little confused, but still nodded gently. She was sold, so she should listen to the person who bought her. This was what her father said, and she believed it.
"Anzi, Wanwan, what happened?" Ye Bufan and Fang, who were carrying bamboo baskets, also rushed over and asked.
Ye Wanwan briefly recounted what had happened, and Fang sighed, "That's how it should be. Is that person okay?"
"It's okay. He woke up soon after you left. Let's do a good deed today." Ye Wanwan smiled and hugged Fang's arm and shook it.
Fang complained with a smile, "On the street, he's so old, but he still has no manners."
"No matter how old she is, she is still my daughter, Ansheng, don't you think?" Ye Wanwan took the bag of seeds from Fang's hand and held it in her arms.
Ye Ansheng quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, just like my sister will always be my sister."
The eyes of Wushuang, who was following beside her, brightened up, then dimmed again. She was not loved, and her father could even sell her out for gambling.
"Wushuang, although this room is a little small, there are no other rooms available for the time being, so you have to make do with it." After dinner, Ye Wanwan was helping to make the bed, and Fang brought over two sets of old clothes.
Wushuang's tears suddenly fell again. Her mother had never made her bed. "Master, thank you."
"Just call me Sister Wanwan. We are farmers, so there is no need to be so particular." Ye Wanwan smiled. Everyone is equal. Anyway, at least for now, she cannot accept it.
