To be honest, the meal would have been more enjoyable without the Qin mother and her two children.
Cai Xiaolian was a little confused. Guo Rui was Qin Shi's grandson, but she felt that Qin Shi didn't love her grandson at all, because Guo Rui rarely spoke when Qin Shi was around.
Unlike Grandma Gu, who may seem indifferent to all her grandchildren on the surface, but they all adore her.
How could any elderly person not love such an adorable child as Guo Rui?
After they finished eating, everyone sat and chatted for a while, and after agreeing to come and see the girl the next day, the Gu family left.
The doctor told Gu Sangu not to go out and to rest at home. Her husband firmly stated that Gu Sangu was not allowed to go to the brokerage firm in person.
So, my third aunt's husband arranged for a human trafficker to come with a group of servants tomorrow. He'll bring a lot of people, since the Gu sisters are also planning to buy people, so they'll come and take a look together.
...
The next morning, the Li family's servants delivered an invitation to the Gu family to their residence, inviting them to lunch.
Cai Xiaolian sent someone back to report that they probably couldn't go because her sister-in-law's pregnancy was unstable and she was resting at home. She planned to take her child to visit her sister-in-law and also select a few servants.
When they finished getting ready and arrived at the Guo residence, Madam Li's servants, Da Huang and Xiao Lü, were waiting at the entrance.
"Second Master Gu, Boss Cai, and Miss Gu, greetings! We are here on Madam's orders to help out. There are many tricks in the brokerage business in this city, and Madam is worried that you might fall into a trap," Da Huang said as he stepped forward.
"Sister Luo, you're so kind. Thank you for making this trip. To be honest, we really have no experience with this. Sister Luo, you've thought of everything." Cai Xiaolian naturally didn't refuse Madam Li's kindness.
Even though the Nine Thousand Years Old is here, and no ghost or monster can escape his eyes, we can't keep refusing other people's kindness!
Upon entering the Guo residence, Aunt Gu was already waiting in the main house. As soon as she saw Cai Xiaolian, Aunt Gu began to complain to her about her uncle.
Because her pregnancy was unstable, and she liked to eat cold food in the hot weather, her third aunt's husband wouldn't let her eat it, and she resolutely refused to submit to her third aunt's beatings and threats.
She also said, "How could this person who usually dotes on her have changed? Could he have fallen out of love with her?"
Cai Xiaolian was speechless. Gu Shouxin said a few words to Gu Sangu, "This person is doing this for your own good. You are pregnant. If you are pregnant, aren't you afraid that you and your child will both die?"
Cai Xiaolian always felt that her sister-in-law was showing off her affection for her!
She realized that her sister-in-law, besides being strong like her mother-in-law, had also learned this unintentional way of showing affection from her mother-in-law.
I've had so much dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection) that I don't even want to eat anymore!
Gu Xin and Gu Si stood at the door, curiously looking at the women of different ages standing outside. To be honest, the two sisters had never seen this kind of business before. They had only heard from villagers that some poor families would sell their daughters to raise money for their sons' dowry if their sons couldn't afford to get married.
There are also people whose parents were servants; they were born into servitude.
Looking at the lifeless group of people, the two sisters sighed with gratitude, thinking how lucky they were to have been born into such a good family! They didn't have to go through all this.
There were ten of them standing like this in a row outside. The slave trader, Granny Huang, brought a total of one hundred and ten women for them to choose from, and their ages ranged from ten to thirty.
Gu Sangu also considered that her two little nieces were not very old, and wondered if her brothers and sisters-in-law were planning to choose maids for their daughters and train them from a young age.
She could also see that after her second brother's change last year, her family's life would definitely be extraordinary from now on.
So they had Granny Huang bring along children aged ten to thirteen as well.
