After saying that, she took out the portraits and tags of the girls and began to introduce each girl's strengths to them.
Zhiyin listened silently, but under the woman's expectant gaze, she suddenly asked with burning eyes, "Pretty sister, are you going to sell this elegant house?"
The woman was taken aback when she heard this, and then she saw that the three men had indifferent expressions, clearly not very interested in the girl in the painting.
She smiled knowingly and put the scroll away. "Guest, you can call me Aunt Qiu."
She looked at her confidante again and sighed, "Yes!"
Autumn's mother slumped in her chair, leaning back lazily. She glanced around, her eyes filled with dejection and reluctance. "I was too confident. I thought I could rely on my own abilities!"
"We can enable our girls to support themselves by using the gimmick of 'selling art, not their bodies'!"
"Can…"
She shook her head and sighed, then continued, "But in the end, I was too naive."
"At first, the girls were indeed young and beautiful, and their talents were outstanding, which attracted many people to come."
"But these people basically think that the girls are just pretending to be high-minded and playing hard to get. They think that as long as you give them enough money, they will sell themselves!"
"But when they were disappointed time and time again, and realized that it was impossible to succeed, they became angry and ashamed, and fewer and fewer people came. Now, only a few people come in a night, and it is very desolate."
"Since no one is coming and there is no income, I really can't hold on any longer. If this continues, the girls will starve."
"I don't want to push the girls into the fire like the Drunken Spring Pavilion across the street, so I have no choice but to sell the building."
After she finished speaking, she saw that her friend was really curious and seemed genuinely interested.
He immediately led the three of them on a tour of the entire building, explaining things as they went.
Along the way, we occasionally saw girls curiously turning their heads to look. They seemed to know why their friend had come, and their eyes were full of reluctance, with red eyes.
Girls kept bowing to Qiu's mother, their eyes full of respect and affection.
From these few words, Zhiyin knew that Qiu's mother was indeed a good person; otherwise, these girls wouldn't have shown her such heartfelt respect.
Just look at how she only thought about selling the whole building even when she was desperate, and she didn't try to force them to take customers or do things they didn't want to do. This shows that she has a good character!
…
Along the way, the kindred spirits nodded inwardly and pondered silently.
The entire building has three floors. The first floor is a courtyard, which is very spacious and suitable as a performance venue.
The courtyard is surrounded by rooms of various sizes, totaling more than ten or twenty.
Stepping into the backyard, a refreshing floral fragrance wafts over you.
The entire backyard is beautiful, with pavilions and waterside terraces, and various seasonal flowers planted in front and behind. The flowers are well-maintained and look delicate and charming.
Zhiyin made up his mind almost instantly and decided to buy the place.
She looked at Mrs. Qiu and said with a smile, "I wonder how you plan to resell this building?"
"Are you going to take the girl inside with you? Or what?"
After Zhiyin finished asking her question, several girls who were already anxious and whispering behind her rushed out, knelt down in front of Qiu's mother, and burst into tears.
"Waaaah... Mom, don't sell us! We don't know where to go or what to do if we leave here. We don't know anything."
"Yes, Mom, I don't want to be separated from my sisters. If all else fails, let me go and work as a prostitute!"
One beautiful and gentle woman even gritted her teeth and said this, her heart feeling as if it were bleeding, and she was in great pain.
"If it weren't for you saving me, Mom, and giving me shelter, I don't know what I would have done!!!"
…
For a moment, the room was filled with soft, hesitant sobs, which were heartbreaking to hear.
"Get up quickly, Jingjing, Ge'er, how could Mommy possibly abandon you?"
Autumn's mother's calm expression changed, her eyes filled with heartache, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help everyone up, feeling helpless.
"Really? Mom? That's great!!!"
The girls all stopped crying and started laughing, their eyes filled with joy, and they clung to Qiu's legs, refusing to let go.
Although the woman named Ge'er's eyes were full of joy, she smiled sadly after thinking of something, "But we will only be a burden to you!"
"You'll be better off without us! You should just leave on your own!!"
"don't want--!!"
…
Seeing the three women crying their hearts out, looking extremely grief-stricken as if they were facing a life-or-death separation, Zhiyin, Huang Lao, and the others were deeply moved.
Their relationship was so pure, and each girl was so wonderful that it was hard to bear separating them.
After listening to their conversation for a while, Zhiyin noticed that they seemed to be stuck in a stalemate and in a dilemma. She immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Oh dear, ladies, don't cry."
Her words successfully attracted the attention of Qiu's mother and the other girls, who all looked at her curiously with teary eyes.
Zhiyin smiled gently, "That's right, I haven't had time to manage this building since I bought it."
"If you'd like, you can stay and help me!"
"It just so happens that you might be able to help with something I'm planning to do next!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu's mother, who was in the midst of grief, and the girls were filled with astonishment and surprise.
"Really?"
"certainly!!"
Zhiyin raised an eyebrow and nodded without hesitation!
"Ahhh, great! We don't have to walk anymore!!"
