Chapter 16: Don't be a girl

"Little big sister!" As he was talking, an old man behind him was greeting.

Shu Tong looked back and saw that it was the old man Li who sold bamboo baskets in the town, and he was panting and standing on the side of the road with a big bamboo basket on his back.

"Uncle, you're here!"

Old man Li rubbed his hands stiffly, "Little sister, I heard that you are going to build a house, let me see if there is anything I need help with." By the way, these are the meat buns you want, and they're still hot! ”

Carefully put down the large bamboo basket and lifted the white cloth on it, revealing the steaming meat buns.

"Oh, Satsuki, how did you buy so many meat buns?" The fat aunt stepped forward to take a look, and her eyes were straight.

Good fellows, there are forty or fifty fist-sized white bread in the bamboo basket!

Their family's life in the village is relatively good, and it is impossible to buy so many meat buns at once.

That's a hundred dollars!

"This kid, you will live alone in the future, and you will have more places to spend money, how can you waste it indiscriminately? This old man must have lied to you, let him go quickly. "The fat aunt is also kind.

Old man Li blushed in a hurry, and stammered to explain, "No! No, I'm this, this, the little sister has already given money. ”

He trembled and took out a purse from his arms, "There are still more than four taels left here, little sister, you take it." ”

The fat aunt opened her mouth and stammered, how much silver does Xiaoyue's girl have?

With a roll of his eyes, he instantly smiled even brighter, "Xiao Yue! If you have money, you have to save money, and you have to learn to live by yourself. ”

Regardless of whether she was sincere or fake, Shutong had to smile and greet them.

"Auntie, and uncle, you all come and eat together! The meat buns at this house are delicious. ”

"Meat buns? These are all meat? ”

The fat aunt was overjoyed, and her eldest brother Wang Dazhu was a little embarrassed.

The two rooms built by the little girl can't even use ten silver, and she has already taken a big advantage, so how can she be embarrassed to eat her meat buns.

"No, no, eldest nephew, uncle will buy materials for you now and prepare to build a house." Wang Dazhu decided to get her some good materials and cover them strongly.

The fat aunt had already grabbed two big meat buns and stuffed them into her eldest brother's hand, "Brother, don't be polite to Xiaoyue, buy so many big meat buns, it's a waste if you don't eat it when it's so hot." ”

Shu Tong secretly thought how could he be ruined, he could eat almost all in one meal, but he still didn't eat too much in front of everyone! so as not to frighten others.

"Uncle Wang, what my aunt said is right, everyone is welcome, let's help me eat together, by the way, you haven't eaten yet, uncle, right? Come and eat together. Dredging greeted everyone warmly.

Old man Li hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no need, little sister, I won't eat all of these you bought." You see I'm here to help you build a house, and if there's anything I need to run errands, just say. ”

Shu Tong happily ate meat buns, and took the time to say: "I don't know, it's all handed over to Uncle Wang, you see what he wants you to do, you can do something!" ”

threw the purse into Old Man Li's arms again, "This is the errand fee for you, you can keep it!" ”

When the fat aunt heard this, her eyes jumped up, and she couldn't even bother to eat the delicious meat buns.

"Xiaoyue, you're too generous, aren't you? That's not a few big bucks, it's a whole four taels of silver. ”

Old man Li also panicked to send the purse back, "I can't ask for it, it's too much." ”

Shu Tong directly stuffed the purse into his arms, "I heard that your son is very sick." You can take the money back to see him, and don't sell your little daughter. ”

Old man Li burst into tears and nodded desperately, "Little sister, you are a kind person, how can I be willing to sell my daughter?" If there was any other way, I would not have taken this path, and with this money, I will definitely raise my children well. ”

"Oh, you dead old man, you came here to deceive our family Xiaoyue."

The fat aunt didn't eat the buns anymore, pinched her waist and couldn't wait to rush up and snatch back the silver in Old Man Li's arms.

Old Li shook his head desperately, "I didn't lie to you, the son at home is really sick." Big sister, don't worry, I won't take this silver for nothing, I will definitely help the little sister work. ”

"Hmph, what kind of work can you do when you're old? Who is rare? As she spoke, the fat aunt suddenly rolled her eyes.

smiled again: "By the way, don't you have a little girl at home?" In this way, you send the little girl over to serve our Xiaoyue, even if Xiaoyue bought your daughter. ”

Old man Li thought that this was also a solution, so he nodded and agreed.

"As long as the little sister doesn't dislike it, the old man is willing to serve as a cow and a horse!"

"Hey, don't, don't! I don't want anyone to serve me. I'm used to living alone, and I don't like people around me, so you must not send your daughter here. Drucchio immediately objected.

Although he traveled to ancient times, Shutong's mind was still a modern person, and he was not used to being served by someone around him.

Besides, I have a space to carry around, and wouldn't it be bad if someone around me was waiting to leak the secret?

Old man Li had a bitter face, "Little sister, your great kindness to me!" The old man can't repay it, although my girl is clumsy, she will also mend and wash up. And she's very obedient, little sister, you can just take her. ”

Shu Tong still waved his hand, "Don't!" I really don't need to! ”

The fat aunt came over and said mysteriously in her ear: "Xiaoyue! My aunt knows that you want to help this old man, but you give so much money at once, who knows that he is a good person and a bad person! should still keep her girl by her side and be a hostage. ”

Shu Tong smiled bitterly, "Auntie! I really don't need it, you know that I'm living alone now, where do I need someone to serve me! ”

The fat aunt rolled her eyes and said heartily: "Xiaoyue, my aunt is also good for you, now that your family is all dead, you are the only one left, and you can't do it without someone around you, you also saw what kind of faces your grandfather and stepmother were just now?" Knowing that you have some silver in your hand, can they let you go? Keeping someone by your side is also considered to be a good one! ”

Old man Li also nodded again and again, "Little sister! I'm sincere, old man, I'll bring the girl when I turn around! ”

Shu Tong was also speechless, she knew that in ancient times, being a girl was to sign a deed of sale, there was no human rights, and the owner could beat and scold casually!

Is this old man confused, he doesn't want to accept it, he is still in a hurry to push his daughter into the fire pit, that's not his own daughter!

"Okay! You leave the silver first, send the girl, and we believe that you are not cheating money! The fat aunt pinched her waist and clapped the board directly!

Old man Li actually agreed, and happily sent the silver.

Shu Tong rolled his eyes secretly, "I won't accept the silver, let's treat your son first, and talk about the rest later!" ”

The fat aunt still wanted to speak, but Shutong directly stuffed a big bun into her mouth, "Auntie! You eat more! ”

The final result was that Old Man Li was holding his purse, and he was grateful to Dade and kowtowed to Shutong, so he hurried back to the town.

When the fat aunt saw that Shu Tong was really generous, she immediately gave more than four taels of silver, and even the meat buns were not sweet.

There was a basket of words in her ear, all for her good, so that she wouldn't be deceived.

Shutong is not a real little girl, who doesn't know that the fat aunt is greedy for those silver.

Listening to what she meant, I can't wait for Shutong to hand over all the silver on her body to the fat aunt to collect, and she will be deceived again in the future.

Shutong only cared about eating steamed buns, this ear heard that ear, the fat aunt's mind was on the silver, and she didn't care about her big appetite.
