Chapter 115 You Will Be Mine From Now On
When Xing'er saw her grandfather, he was already seriously ill and was dying.
Grandpa has been having a bad time these past two days. Not only is he sick, but his uncle and aunt don't give him food and deliberately starve him, waiting for him to die and then throw him out. This way they can save some food for the family.
When the grandfather and grandson met, they both burst into tears.
Xing'er wanted to find a doctor for her grandfather, but she had no money.
She wanted to ask her uncle and aunt to lend her money to hire a doctor.
But grandpa called her.
"My old bones should have died a long time ago. Don't beg those two beasts, and don't bother me anymore. Just... just take care of yourself."
After saying what he wanted to say, grandpa passed away.
Xing'er was kneeling beside the bed, crying out of breath. Xiao Nan was standing outside the door, listening to the crying in the room, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Xing'er cried all night long, and only stopped crying at dawn.
She wanted to borrow money from Xiao Nan, but she had no money and might not be able to pay it back even if she borrowed the money. What's more, Xiao Nan had already helped her a lot, so she couldn't ask for more.
In the end, it was Xiao Nan who, out of sympathy, pointed her in a direction.
"You can ask my masters, maybe they can help you."
So Xing'er followed Xiaonan to the inn again.
Xing Er knelt down and sobbed, "My grandfather died of illness. I don't have a penny on me now. I can't even afford a thin coffin. Wuuwuwu! I don't have anything to mortgage to you. I can only sell myself to you. Just two taels of silver... No, just one tael of silver will do. I want to buy a coffin so that my grandfather can rest in peace. Please buy me."
After saying that, she kowtowed heavily.
Xiao Xixi squatted down in front of her and asked seriously, "Do you have any special skills?"
Xing Er cried and said, "I can mend clothes, do housework, and grow crops and raise chickens."
Xiao Xixi blinked: "You can farm and raise chickens?"
"Well, grandpa is old and has difficulty walking, so I am responsible for the vegetable garden and chickens at home. I also raised pigs and ducks before. I know everything! Even if I can't do it now, I can learn it. I learn things very quickly!"
Xing'er was afraid that the other party would not want her, so she tried her best to promote herself.
When Xiao Xixi heard that she could raise pigs, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Xiao Xixi immediately took out two taels of silver from her purse: "I'll give you this money. You will belong to me from now on."
Xing'er took the money with both hands and kowtowed to her heavily.
"Thank you, young master. I will go buy a coffin right now, and I will come back to see you after I bury grandpa."
Xiao Xixi agreed.
Xing'er left with the silver.
The guard looked at the Crown Prince. When he saw the Crown Prince nodded, he immediately followed him out.
Luo Qinghan asked Xiao Xixi.
"Why did you buy her? Aren't there enough people in Qingge Palace for you to command?"
Xiao Xixi muttered quietly: "But those people don't know how to raise pigs."
Luo Qinghan thought he had heard wrongly: "What did you say? What do you want to raise?"
Xiao Xixi smiled flatteringly and said, "I think eating only chicken, duck and fish is too monotonous. How can we miss pork in our menu? Just think about it, the fat and lean pork belly is fried into fragrant twice-cooked pork, how delicious it is! If you don't want to eat twice-cooked pork, we can also make Dongpo pork, or preserved vegetable braised pork! Oh no, the more I think about it, the more greedy I am. My mouth is watering."
