Zhao's slightly harsh face even had a loving smile on it, and she coaxed him softly, "My dear, let's not watch this. Mother will buy you some candy."
"Candy! I want some!"
Gu Qingcheng, who just turned one year old, has a fair face, delicate features, thick eyebrows and dark hair.
There is a faint shadow of Zhao in her eyebrows and eyes, but she is more than ten times more beautiful than her.
Mrs. Zhao was very proud of her daughter. Her daughter looked like her, but she was also pretty, not like a farm girl. Instead, she was more noble than the ladies in the city.
When the little child heard the word candy, his attention was diverted. He clapped his chubby pink paws and said, "I want candy!"
She had already thrown aside the idea of buying a maid.
The thin girls kneeling in front of Zhao were filled with despair when they saw this situation.
Their last bit of life was also cut off!
Li Xiuniang couldn't express how she felt. She should be happy that she was not involved with the Gu family.
But, but she is really hungry.
Her stomach was burning, her heart was itching, and the extreme hunger had devoured her sanity, the resentment from her past life, and her dignity and bottom line as a human being.
She grabbed Zhao's skirt and said, "Aunt! Please, buy me. I can be your child bride."
Zhao was stunned for a moment. Child bride?
Yes, the last two years have been bad, and there are many exorbitant taxes and levies.
Her eldest son, Gu Feng, is fourteen years old this year and it is time for him to get married.
The girls around here asked for two taels of silver as a betrothal gift.
Her family does have some savings, but they can't give it all as a betrothal gift.
Her little darling also wants to eat fine grains and eggs, wear fine cotton clothes, and the money must be saved for her.
Otherwise, give her a few kilograms of coarse grains in exchange for the refugee girl?
If you are capable and honest, stay at home.
If it doesn't work out, you can just sell it.
While Zhao was clacking away on her abacus, the other girls were also inspired and surrounded her, shouting:
"Auntie! I can do it too! I've already had my period, I, I can have a baby!"
"Auntie, I can work and I'm obedient! Choose me!"
Several people were trying their best to promote themselves, not wanting to miss this only opportunity.
It was Li Xiuniang, who had the memory of her past life, who suddenly remembered something and shouted at the baby in Zhao's arms: "My dear, choose me. I will play with you and I will serve you!"
Hearing the sound, Gu Qingcheng, who was muttering "sugar", noticed Li Xiuniang.
But the other girls reacted quickly and they also shouted at Gu Qingcheng.
Some even made faces on purpose to make Gu Qingcheng happy.
Gu Qingcheng was indeed amused, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were curved with laughter.
When Zhao saw her precious daughter happy, she smiled too.
After Gu Qingcheng finished laughing, her big watery eyes swept across the faces of the girls one by one.
All the girls whose eyes met hers couldn't help but hold their breath.
They knew that their survival depended on this little baby with only a few teeth.
Li Xiuniang clenched her fists and gave a flattering smile to her vicious sister-in-law whom she once resented.
Perhaps it was her stiff smile that made her dark and thin face look a little strange, and Gu Qingcheng's gaze actually stayed on her.
Then, Li Xiuniang heard the heavenly voice she had longed for: "Mother, I want her!"
