Chapter 236 Little Girl
Xu Zhichun took Chunfen to the pawnshop in the county town, planning to buy a few people and arrange for them to live in the farm in Loujia Village and farm.
Butler Qin’s suggestion was not wrong. He should bring a gift to visit Lou Lizheng.
There were not many people in the matchmaking business, but farming was not a difficult job. Xu Zhichun quickly made a deal with the matchmaker and his wife, and bought three couples, all of whom were in their thirties. All three families had children, for a total of eleven people.
The matchmaker thought today was her lucky day, and in a good mood, she said to Xu Zhichun with a smile, "I like dealing with straightforward people like Madam Xu. I won't be long-winded with Madam Xu, and I won't let her suffer any loss. So, one hundred and twenty taels is enough. If someone else came, it would definitely not be possible without one hundred and thirty taels."
Xu Zhichun didn't want to haggle with her on this matter, so he paid 120 taels on the spot and said, "I also want to buy two or three servants who can do things smartly, and two or three smart and reliable young maids around thirteen or fourteen years old. Madam, please help me find some."
The toothbrush laughed and said, "What a coincidence!"
The matchmaker quickly had a little girl brought over, pointing at her and saying with a smile, "Although this girl is only eleven years old, she was sold because her family couldn't make ends meet. Although she's a little young, she can do anything. She's very smart and healthy. Children from poor families tend to grow up early."
This girl was indeed very clever. She knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Zhichun on the spot: "Madam, please buy me. I don't eat much, and I will definitely work hard. Please! Please!"
Perhaps because she was nervous and afraid, the little girl kowtowed and begged, and her voice trembled a little.
Her grandmother despised her for being a girl and either beat or scolded her since she was a child and never gave her a good look. Her mother had passed away a long time ago, and her father was a ruthless man who also beat and scolded her. Since she could remember, she learned to read people's expressions and to endure things.
But she didn't expect that her angry curse of "If you bother me again, I'll sell you one day!" would really come true one day.
She was so scared.
This lady looked so gentle, and she must be a good master. She couldn't wait to grab this life-saving straw and regarded her as her own salvation.
Xu Zhichun originally thought that she was a little young, but when he met her eyes full of despair and hope, he couldn't bring himself to say no.
"How much silver will this cost?"
The matchmaker laughed heartily. "I won't hide it from Madam Xu. Que'er is pretty and clever, and at such a tender age, her price is definitely going to be high. But I also know that Madam Xu is a kind person, so I won't be the bad guy. I'll just consider it a good relationship. Twenty taels of silver is no less."
Que'er felt a chill in his chest and froze.
Xu Zhichun sighed softly, "Twenty taels is twenty taels, and don't forget to help me find a suitable one."
"Okay, okay, Madam Xu, don't worry. I will definitely take this matter to heart. If I find a suitable one, I will be the first to inform Madam Xu."
The matchmaker was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
Que'er was also stunned, and suddenly looked up at Xu Zhichun in disbelief.
The matchmaker gave her a light kick and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and kowtow. Follow Madam Xu and you'll have a good life in the future."
"Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"
Que'er awoke as if from a dream and kowtowed three times. She stood up and stood behind Xu Zhichun, "Madam is my adopted parent. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
After leading everyone out, Xu Zhichun took them to buy some clothes and daily necessities, and bought two pieces of cloth, two boxes of snacks, and two jars of good wine, all of which were packed. Yang Xiaoan drove the ox cart and headed towards Loujia Village according to Xu Zhichun's instructions.
Because the fertile fields have been cultivated all the time and servants live in this yard all the time, the whole place is clean and tidy.
The families of Zhang Quan, Liu Guang and Mao Xiaofeng can move in directly. Xu Zhichun will be too busy with other things to finish them in a short time, so the plans for other aspects can only be roughly completed before the New Year.
Unexpectedly, when he came outside the yard, Xu Zhichun found that the lock on the yard door that was originally locked had been smashed open.
The gate to the courtyard was ajar, indicating that there was someone inside.
Her mind suddenly buzzed and she was furious: This is too much!
This is not the way to be xenophobic.
Is this xenophobia? Is this trespassing?
Xu Zhichun sneered and said to Yang Xiaoan and the others, "I clearly locked the door when I left yesterday. I don't know who pried open my door. I'd like to take a closer look."
Everyone was surprised.
Yang Xiaoan: "How could Loujia Village be so chaotic?"
Zhang Quan and the others also spoke in unison: "This is too ridiculous!", "Madam, calm down, could there be some misunderstanding?", "How about you wait a moment, Madam, and let's go in and see what's going on?", "Yes, let's go and see if the thief is still there."
Que'er quietly approached Xu Zhichun, staring at the half-open courtyard door vigilantly. When Xu Zhichun led them forward, she took the lead and pushed the courtyard door open, and walked in first. "Madam, please be careful."
Liang Chunfen and Yang Xiaoan followed closely behind Xu Zhichun.
"What? Who broke into our house?"
Xu Zhichun: “.”
The case is solved.
It’s that bastard Aunt Lou San.
Lou family.
Unexpected, but not really unexpected.
Seeing Xu Zhichun's angry and cold face, even though Aunt Lou San was thick-skinned enough, she was startled and slapped her chest, "Ouch!"
"It turned out to be Madam Xu. I was so scared. Who else did I think it was?"
Yang Xiaoan and the others subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a thief, but someone they knew. Fortunately, fortunately.
However, everyone immediately became confused: Even if they knew someone, they couldn't break the lock? So what was going on?
Jiang also came out of the house, smiling: "Oh, it's Madam Xu, why are you here?"
"Why am I here?" Xu Zhichun laughed angrily. "I haven't even asked you yet. What are you doing in my house? Did you break the lock on the door?"
Aunt Lou's eyes widened. "Don't talk nonsense! What lock? I didn't see it! There's no lock on the door at all!"
Jiang also smiled playfully: "That's right, didn't you say that we would take care of this farm? There's no lock on the door, doesn't that mean we can move in? We thought it would be a good idea to move here, so it would be easier to manage in the future."
The Lou family dared to move in so blatantly, they must have already thought of an excuse.
They insisted that there was no lock, that they did not see it, and that Xu Zhichun had agreed to hand over the farm to them and that it was she who asked them to move in. What could she do?
What they didn't expect was that she would come again today.
If Xu Zhichun came after a while, they would have been accustomed to living here, and it would be impossible for her to drive them away.
Today they still felt a little scared for no reason.
But, so what?
Anyway, since they are here, they will definitely not leave.
