Don't panic when fleeing famine, the farm system is busy raising cubs to get rich

Chapter 224 Poor Mother and Daughter
As soon as Xia Qiyue's carriage entered the alley, a fat aunt greeted her with a smile.

"Girl, do you want to buy a maid...return, or sell the child?"

The second half of the sentence came out stammeringly when I saw two little heads protruding from the car window, both of them were girls.

Xia Qiyue parked the carriage, hugged the three little ones out of the car, and then looked over to the fat aunt, "Buy a maid and rough envoy!"

She doesn't care about nuns and the like. For a farmer's family, she only needs a few rough maids to help clean up the house, yard, laundry and cooking.

"Hey! Hey hey! Please come to the lady's room!" The fat aunt was happy. She hadn't come to the door for business for a few days, and finally someone came over. It didn't matter if it was a seller, she couldn't afford it anymore!

That's right, Xia Qiyue was looking for a dental shop all the way. She wanted to buy people, and there were only people who sold people here, and there was no other business like renting houses or land.

Xia Qiyue took the three children into the yard, but she didn't intend to enter the house. The fat toothmaid cleverly went in and moved a chair out for Xia Qiyue to sit on, and then asked someone to make tea and bring it.

"Little lady, do you want to buy some rough envoys and maids? Do you have any special requirements?"

Xia Qiyue thought for a while, "Madam has no requirements, as long as she is in good health. As for the maid, it is best if she can read and write. In one, it is better to have a younger one. I want to find a companion for the three children. You girl who grew up together, you need to be smarter!"

Xia Qiyue didn't say that she would marry a maid as a dowry, because she has been in this world for half a year and still can't accept men with three wives and four concubines. If possible, it would be best for her daughter to meet a man who is devoted to her in the future.

Even if she can't, she doesn't want to train her daughter to be a dowry maid. If this man's heart is not on you, then there is no need to marry. It's not like she can't afford to support her daughter for the rest of her life.

The fat toothmaid's eyes lit up, it seemed that the little lady in front of her was a big customer, and there were more than one people who bought it.

"Yes, yes! There are all of them! Wait a moment, little lady, I'll call everyone out for you to choose!"

As he spoke, he swayed and ran towards the backyard. Not long after, a succession of women and children came out.

There are five or six-year-old children, eight or nine-year-old girls, women in their thirties, and women in their 50s or [-]s. These people have one thing in common, that is, they are thin and have a strong personality. A sallow and thin face,
When Xia Qiyue was wondering why there were no men, the fat lady brought out five little boys at the end, all of whom looked less than ten years old.

"Little lady, you can choose whatever you want, here are five boys who are suitable to be the young master's long-term follow-up!"

Sure enough, Xia Qiyue found out that because she didn't say she wanted any servants from the nursing home, it wasn't that she didn't bring her out.

Xia Qiyue nodded, and then looked at the people who were already standing in line waiting for her to choose.

She has no time to mourn for these people, because this world is the law of survival, imperial power is supreme, women's status is low, and she alone can't change these three views.

"Mother, shall we take them home?" Ke'er stood obediently next to her mother at first, because so many people came out, the little girl couldn't be quiet for a while, and asked aloud, her little eyes were already in these places. People started to observe.

Xia Qiyue shook her head, "I don't want to take all of them back. Choose two maids from these people, and then choose a few maidservants to take them back! Ke'er, Ling'er, Xuan'er, you choose by yourself, one for each person, whichever one you like! "

Xia Qiyue gave the three children the right to choose, and they will be their own personal maids in the future, as long as they like it.

Ke'er's eyes lit up, "Really? Then I like that young lady!"

Not polite at all, let alone stage fright, pointing to a little girl who looks like six or seven years old at the end of the line in front, and then looked at his mother, "Is it okay, mother?"

Xia Qiyue looked in the direction of her finger. Needless to say, she was thin. There was no fat person present, but the little girl Linger pointed to had bright eyes and a small face. She was a clever little girl.

Xia Qiyue nodded, "Of course!"

Ke'er immediately ran towards the little girl, "Come home with me!"

He took the little girl's little hand and pulled him towards his mother.

But the little girl held on to a woman in her thirties with the other hand and didn't let go.

"Little girl, go! Seeing how easy the little master is getting along with, it will definitely be better if you go with me than here!" The woman beside her said with reluctance in her eyes, but she still pulled out the girl's hand.

"But mother, I don't want to leave my mother..." The little girl who was pulled by Ke'er turned her head every step of the way, just because she didn't want to leave her mother.

Xia Qiyue thought that Ke'er would let go of Xiaoya's hand before choosing another one.

But she didn't want to, Ke'er insisted on holding her hand, and coaxed her, "We have beef jerky at home! There are a lot of delicious things, here! I also have candies, for you to eat!"

As he spoke, he spread out his little hand in front of the little girl, and in his palm was a nougat.

The little girl who watched couldn't help swallowing, and the children standing behind, even the adults swallowed fiercely.

They only have two meals a day, and they are all watery porridge.Besides, it's candy.

When the fat woman saw nougat, her eyes lit up immediately. She knew about nougat, and she was a luxury. She bought it for her grandson once. It was so precious, it made her feel bad.

"Little girl, hurry up and thank you miss!" Standing behind her was Xiaoya's mother, who was still in a daze when she saw her daughter, not going to get the candy and not talking, a little anxious.

Xia Qiyue also wondered, she looked very clever just now, how did she become like this now.

But in the next second, Xiaoya let go of Ke'er's hand, ran towards Xia Qiyue, and knelt down in front of her.

"Ma'am, Xiaoya likes Miss and is willing to serve Miss. Can I ask Madam to buy Xiaoya's mother too? Xiaoya only has her mother left in this world! There are no other relatives, and Mother only There is only one child left, Xiaoya, if Xiaoya leaves, mother will have no one to rely on when she grows old, please take us in, madam!"

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed his head, and soon, his small forehead turned red.

"Little girl..." The woman standing behind couldn't take it anymore, ran over, knelt down, and hugged her daughter crying.

The mother and daughter fled from the famine, and their family members died along the way, so the mother and daughter were left behind. They had to sell themselves when they had no choice but to live for a while.

"Mother, please hurry up and beg my wife, I don't want to be separated from you, mother!"

Xia Qiyue didn't speak for a while, looking at the mother and daughter in front of her, she also wanted to see Ke'er's choice.

Although the fat girl has been a maid for most of her life, her heart is still soft. Seeing that the master's family is not angry, she didn't step forward to stop her. It would be a good thing if the mother and daughter could be bought together.
