"But they're all the same, don't you buy them all and don't waste them?"

Gu Baowen explained: "Buy it for the next person in the family to wear, there are many people, and it is not wasted. ”

The girl's expression was immediately a little tangled, and she looked embarrassed.

Gu Bao didn't speak, just looked at her.

The girl didn't say anything in the end, but said softly, "Then how much money can you give me?" ”

"How much do you cost for a pair?"

"A pair of twelve."

Before the words fell, the girl hurriedly added: "If you buy five pairs, I will sell you cheap, a total of fifty yuan, how about it?" ”

As she spoke, there was a nervous look in her eyes again.

Gu Bao sighed.

The market price of Datang's shoes and cotton shoes is 27 wen a pair, and thin shoes, that is, silk brocade shoes, can be sold for 100 wen a pair.

A girl's pair of cloth shoes only costs 12 Wen, which is too conscientious.

It is no exaggeration to say that the five pairs of cloth shoes in front of him, the girl did not make any money.

The cost is more than 30 yuan.......

plus wasted time, manual ...... What else to earn?

What's more, Gu Bao can see that the quality of these cloth shoes is very good.

A stitch and a thread, dense sewing, the girl is very serious, you can see that she has worked hard.

Seeing Gu Bao's strange expression, the girl thought that he thought it was expensive, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Then Jiuwen is a pair, can you?" I don't have any money to earn, it's really cheap already. ”

Gu Bao waved his hand and said, "Just twelve Wen and one pair, I want five pairs." ”

The girl stood up in surprise, and then wondered: "I can give you a cheap, why are you ......?"

Gu Bao patted her little head, "What, give you more, you still dislike it?" ”

"No, no."

The girl squirmed, "I just think it's strange." ”

"Okay, it's decided, it's a total of sixty wen, right?"

Gu Bao directly took out the money and gave her the shoes.

The girl happily held the money, then carefully took out a cloth bag from her bosom, and then put it in again.

Gu Bao said curiously: "It's just to buy shoes, why did you bring me here." ”

The girl was about to stuff the money bag into her arms, and when she heard the words, she suddenly froze.

He snorted, hung his head and said, "Someone doesn't need others to buy my shoes, whoever buys them will beat them." ”

looked up at Gu Bao, and quickly lowered his head, "If you don't think it's okay, I'll return the money to you." ”

Gu Bao was distressed, which bastard dared to bully people like this?

And do you have a conscience?

"Why don't they allow anyone to buy your shoes?"

The girl thought about it, but still said, "Because they want to pay for me." ”

Gu Bao: "......"

After the girl's explanation, Gu Bao roughly understood what had happened.

Very simple.

The girl's parents died young, and she has been cared for by her adoptive father and adoptive mother.

Adoptive father and adoptive mother can't say good or bad to her.

But last year, my adoptive father fell ill, and the family's situation took a turn for the worse.

The adoptive mother didn't have much to make money, so the girl became a punching bag.

Later, someone proposed to buy a girl to go back to be a maid, and the money given was a lot, ten times.

This is a lot of money, and in exchange for the price of the next generation, it is two or three thousand.

Traffickers in later generations........ Don't talk about it.

People are short of money, and they can do everything.

Not to mention that the girl also has a mouth, which is to eat.

If you can sell her, not only will you make money, but you will also have one less mouth to eat.

But the girl is not stupid. Son, what fate it will be if she is sold, she knows it well.

So he begged his adoptive father and adoptive mother not to sell her, and said that he could make money.

The rest is simple.

Adoptive fathers and adoptive mothers want to save face, and girls don't want to be sold.

The bet is that you can make money and feed us, and we won't sell you.

But making money to support a family, where is it so easy.

Not to mention whether selling shoes can support a family, or whether they can be sold, it is about to become a problem.

People who want to buy her heard that she is selling shoes.

Immediately find the hooligans to stop it.

So the poor little girl, except for a few pairs of shoes sold in the first two days, could not sell them at any price......

She's going to be sold soon.

Just when the little girl was at a loss, Gu Bao appeared.

Bought five pairs of her shoes.

"Shameless!"

After listening to this, Gu Bao said righteously: "It's shameless, those little gangsters are shameless, and those who want to buy you are even more shameless." ”

Your adoptive father and adoptive mother are even more shameless!

However, Gu Bao can understand her adoptive father and adoptive mother.

In ancient times, it was normal to sell children and daughters.

In the famine year, it is easy to cannibalize children.

Besides, I sold you to let you live a good life, and you have to thank ......

The little girl looked timidly at the uncle in front of her, no, it's the big brother.

I don't know how he got so angry.

"Don't worry, I will buy all your shoes in the future, and you will sell them to me. I'd like to see what those little thugs do to me. ”

"There are a lot of them, and they are very powerful."

The little girl whispered, "It's not easy for me to ask them today......."

Gu Bao interrupted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you, and I promise to be okay in the future." ”

The little girl looked at him blankly, as if she didn't understand why the eldest brother was protecting herself.

The clean and pure eyes made Gu Bao a little embarrassed.

"What's your name?" Gu Bao diverted the topic.

"My name is Chen Meili."

Burst!

Gu Bao couldn't help but laugh directly.

This Nima, the name of the good soil.

The girl's face was red, and she snorted, "It was my adoptive father and adoptive mother who gave me the name, and I had other names before." ”

Gu Bao said casually: "What's it called?" ”

The girl straightened her back, "It's called Chen Nuo." ”

"Chen Nuo?"

Gu Bao smiled: "Good name, why don't you keep this name?" Changed Chen Meili? ”

The girl shook her head, obviously not going to say more.

Gu Baodao: "Go, take me to see your parents, don't come out to sell shoes in the future, I'll buy them directly." By the way, talk to your parents about it. ”

"Are you really not afraid of being beaten?" The girl was a little confused.

Gu Bao showed off his biceps...... Well, can't see ....

Chen Nuo's parents live in Xuanpingfang.

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Bao smelled a heavy smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which was very unpleasant.

"Mother, I'm back."

Chen Nuo shouted loudly when he walked in the door.

"Come back, come back, call the soul? So loud. ”

An impatient voice came from inside, "Have the shoes been sold?" ”

"Sell miles, I'll sell all of them today."

There was a sound of footsteps, and then a middle-aged woman walked out.

"You are?"

The middle-aged woman saw Gu Bao at a glance and asked suspiciously.

Chen Nuo said: "He is the son who bought my shoes, and he is a very good person." ”

"What are you?"

Seeing Gu Bao, a middle-aged woman, she obviously didn't know why.

Gu Bao took the initiative to speak: "Mother Chen, right?" In this way, I plan to buy all of Chen Nuo's shoes in the future. Don't let her go out and sell shoes. ”

The middle-aged woman's face was a little ugly, and she glanced at Gu Bao.

Gu Bao was inexplicable.
