Under Yan Jiao's soft grinding and hard bubbles, the boss changed his mind and changed the original rent for one year to half a year.

Since renting the shop, Yan Jiao's wallet has been deflated, and even the decoration of the store is quite simple.

"Alas! Now the shop is rented, but I don't have much money in hand, what should I do? ”

The shop that Yan Jiao rented is not big, that is, about 20 square meters in size, in this small place, the monthly rent is 30 taels, and it is paid for half a year at a time, Yan Jiao is called a pain in the flesh.

She spent one hundred and eighty taels on rent alone, and after a simple renovation of twenty taels, she had eighty taels left in her pocket.

She also had to buy needlework, cloth, embroidery frames, and then she had to hire two embroidery girls, plus she still had to live, thinking of this, Yan Jiao only felt that she was too poor, so she desperately wanted to make money, she wanted to live that kind of freewheeling life.

After a few busy days, she finally bought all the things she lacked, and now she is short of people.

At the moment, she doesn't have the courage to go to other embroidery workshops to dig the foot of the wall, not to mention whether she can afford to pay a high price, and she is also afraid of retaliation.

This has been busy in the store for a day, and in order to save money, Yan Jiao plans to walk home before dark.

"Alas! What kind of life have I been living here! In the past, when Nanzhi was at home, I could still bring food at noon every day, and I could make ox carts back and forth, but now I am so poor that I have to walk back, and this day is too miserable! ”

What to do? It's only been a few days since he left, and she began to miss his good coming, without him, Mr. Tianluo, and he didn't even have a hot meal when he went home, but fortunately, before he left, he planted a vegetable garden for him, otherwise she would have to spend money to buy vegetables every day.

Just as Yan Jiao sighed as she walked, she suddenly saw that there seemed to be a person kneeling in the corner of the street.

"Selling yourself to bury your mother? It's quite unusual! ”

She had only heard of this before, but she had never encountered it, but what made her even more curious was that in the past, there were people who sold themselves cheaply, and there were not quite a lot of onlookers? At this time, the sun is just in the west, and there are still many people on the road, why is there no one watching?

Because of curiosity, Yan Jiao walked over, but when she walked in, she finally knew why no one wanted to watch, and now this little girl who was going to sell herself cheaply was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she not only wanted five taels of silver, but also had a large red spot birthmark under her left eye, it is estimated that it was for this reason that no one wanted to buy her.

After all, men like beautiful women, and the birthmark on her face does affect the appearance.

"I said, little girl, are you going to ask for this price too much?"

It's not that she doesn't understand people, it's that she is poor now, so after seeing that it costs five taels of silver to buy a person, Yan Jiao couldn't help but ask.

"Not high! Not high! I can endure any hardship, I can do any job, as long as my sister can buy me, I am really willing to do anything! ”

Saying that this little girl knocked up to this Yan Jiao, no wonder she reacted so much, it's really a day, no one wants to come to ask, she and her mother's hometown has a drought, can't live anymore, this is the only one who came to look for relatives, but who knows that it was hard to find, but the relatives moved, and her mother was in such a long way, the body couldn't support her and left her, she really didn't want to see her mother die in the wilderness, so she had to sell herself cheaply, but the worst thin coffin cost five taels of silver, she was really not greedy, She just wants her mother to be buried in peace.

"I'm so good, I can do my own work, why spend so much money to buy you? Unless you have something else out of the ordinary, I might want to consider it. ”

It's not that she's ruthless, it's not that she doesn't have sympathy, it's really that she is in a situation of food and clothing at the moment, how can she have spare money to buy others, and besides, buying someone to go back is different from buying an object to go back, just buy an object and take it back and put it on the line, but if you buy someone back, you have to be responsible for three meals a day.

What's more, her shop hasn't opened yet, and she has to leave this money to recruit two embroidery girls, so she can't spend it indiscriminately!

"I can work! I eat very little! And I'm obedient! ”

This little girl is very afraid that this Yan Jiao is gone, her mother has been on the street for a day, if it is better to go into the ground, it will stink, as a daughter, how can she not even give her mother the last bit of dignity after her death, not to mention that she is an outsider, there is no land, just want to dig a pit for her mother and bury it, otherwise she will not embark on this road.

"You just said this, do you have any talents, such as reading and writing? Will embroidered female red? ”

If she can read and write, she can buy it back and let her take over a little copy of the book, earn some money to subsidize the family, if she can embroider, it would be the best, just she is in urgent need of embroidery.

"My mother used to be an embroiderer in the embroidery workshop, and I learned embroidery with my mother!"

"Really? What about the embroidery? ”

She was dozing off, and someone handed her a pillow, which made Yan Jiao unhappy, but she still wanted to ask how this little girl's embroidery was, if it was worse than her, then forget it!

"The patterns on my clothes are all embroidered by myself, Miss, please see!"

The little girl realized that the person in front of her might have the idea of buying her, and her name changed, from the sister at the beginning, to the current miss, the former is the same status, and the latter is the relationship between master and servant.

When Yan Jiao saw the patterns on her clothes, she found that it was quite good, at least much better than her embroidery, anyway, she also wanted to recruit people, why don't you buy her today?

"For your sake, it's not that I can't buy you, but I can tell you in advance that my family doesn't have a day of fine clothes and food for you, and you are not allowed to regret it afterwards!"

"Miss, don't worry! Qingqing has been a young lady's person all her life, and she won't betray the master, but Qingqing still has a small favor that Miss needs to help. ”

"What's the rush? I can tell you up front that I won't help beyond my means, don't ask! Asking is not capable! ”

She is very self-aware, and she won't promise anything she can't help casually.

"Miss rest assured, Qingqing will not make any excessive requests, Qingqing is not a local, there is no field here, and there is no way to bury my mother, can you ask Miss to help me find a small place for my mother."

"Huh? Didn't you dig a pit and bury it? ”

"No, it's not! This is not allowed, if it is known by the government, it is a felony, and please ask the lady to help. ”

Seeing that Qingqing's expression was not a joke, Yan Jiao was also stunned, thinking that she was not a local either, where did she come from? And it was the first time she knew that there was so much attention to burying people, so if there was no money, no land, and it was not local, would she not even be worthy of digging a pit to bury herself when she died?

"Ahem! I don't actually have land! Probably ......"

"Miss can go to the government to buy a small piece of land for Qingqing, and afterwards Qingqing will make a custom cow and a horse to repay Miss's great kindness."

Yan Jiao: ......

Aren't locals even qualified to buy land?
