Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 173 Please, Miss, buy my son too.

"Oh right, you also need to buy a carriage and a driver." Only when they reached the door did Mo Ziyuan realize that they had to walk to the brokerage.

"Okay, I'll buy it." Lin Xin had a lot of money she had taken from Grand Tutor Feng's house, so she wasn't afraid to spend it. However, she was a little annoyed by the thought of her family growing larger in the future, since she had something she couldn't show to others.

"It's alright. You're the master of the house. If you don't like people around you, just don't let them into your room." Mo Ziyuan could easily guess what Lin Xin was bothered by, so he told her.

“Oh right, you can do it like that.” Mo Ziyuan’s words were like a wake-up call, making Lin Xin suddenly understand. Her steps became much more cheerful, and she took Lin Nan’s hand beside her. “Come on, let’s go buy some nice things.”

"Oh!" Although she didn't quite understand why her sister suddenly became happy, Lin Nan still smiled in response.

When they appeared together at the largest brokerage firm in the capital, everyone inside was taken aback. Everyone in the capital knew Mo Ziyuan, the heir of the Duke of Dingguo, and everyone was familiar with his cold-hearted and aloof reputation. But today, he actually put aside his sharp edge and appeared with a girl and a boy, which made everyone's jaw drop and forget to pick it up.

"Young Master Mo, we are honored by your presence and will certainly fulfill your needs." The head of the agency personally came over to greet them.

"I'm here today to accompany this Miss Lin. She'll tell you her needs later. When that happens, you need to select some reliable people for her. Don't bring out any filthy or smelly ones to fool her, understand?" Mo Ziyuan said to his agent, adopting the airs of the heir of the Duke of Dingguo.

"Absolutely, absolutely, I promise I will never recommend anything that's not presentable to the girl," Ya Tou said, bowing and scraping.

"Okay, let's begin!" Mo Ziyuan turned and gave Lin Xin a subtle wink.

Lin Xin suppressed a laugh and stated her requirements. Ya Tou smiled obsequiously upon hearing this, "Please wait a moment, Miss. I will bring out all the people who meet the requirements for you to choose from."

"Okay, let's go!"

Tooth went off to fetch the person, all excited and eager.

"Where do we buy the carriage? We also need to buy horses! Are the horses for pulling the carriage and the horses for riding sold in the same place?" Lin Xin asked Mo Ziyuan.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to buy a coachman? Just have him choose the carriage and the horse to pull it, and see how capable he is. As for the horse, I'll take you to buy it later; I guarantee you'll like it."

"Okay!" Lin Xin readily agreed.

While they were talking, Ya Tou led dozens of men and women over, had them line up in several rows, and said to Lin Xin, "Miss, all the people who meet the requirements are here. You can take your time to choose."

“Hmm,” Lin Xin nodded and began to observe these people. She found that Ya Tou had not fooled her. Apart from a very few, the rest of them had relatively honest eyes and did not seem like they would cheat or swindle.

As previously agreed, Lin Xin selected two coachmen, ten people to handle miscellaneous tasks in the courtyard, two cooks, two young women who were skilled in embroidery, a teenager to take care of Lin Nan, and six guards from among those people.

Finally, she focused her gaze on a man with a scar on his face, pointed at him, and asked the man with the tooth, "What's his background?"

For a moment, Ya Tou's eyes showed a complex emotion, which he concealed before answering, "This man was also a pitiful one. He fled here with his wife and children during the famine. On the way, his wife fell seriously ill. He sold himself and his son to pay for her medical treatment, but they still couldn't cure her, and she still passed away. Alas!"

"Alright, then he'll take it too." Lin Xin figured that someone who was willing to buy his own medical treatment for his wife couldn't be too bad, so she readily agreed. Ya Tou's eyes lit up, and he quickly waved to the man, "Girl, you're kind-hearted, I'll buy you. Come over and sign the contract, and work hard for you from now on."

Lin Xin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ya Tou, feeling that he seemed to be taking too much care of this person.

To everyone's surprise, the man didn't rush to sign the contract. Instead, he knelt down in front of Lin Xin with a thud and kowtowed three times. When he raised his head, his forehead was red and swollen. "Please, young lady, buy my son too!"

"Your son?" Lin Xin frowned and looked at Ya Tou. "What's going on with his son?"

"Hey!" Ya Tou slapped his thigh with a look of disappointment and said to Lin Xin, "His son is seven years old this year. He was originally a very good kid and quite handsome. It's just that he wanted to be with his father, so he has never been bought. Unfortunately, he caught a cold a few days ago, and the medicine didn't work. Now he's almost dying."

"Please, young lady, you can deduct the money from my wages for buying my son. He only has a few days left, and I don't want him to go alone. Please!" The man banged his head on the ground and began to sob and cry.

"Sigh!" Ya Tou sighed and said to Lin Xin, "This man is from my hometown. I can tell that you are a kind-hearted person. I originally wanted to find him a good family to live with, but who knew... Sigh! I'm sorry for this, please don't take him."

The man probably had no hope; after choking back a few sobs, he wiped his face and silently returned to the line.

Lin Xin looked at the man and asked Ya Tou to bring his son over to see.

“Miss,” Ya Tou hesitated for a moment, “his son’s illness is already very serious, and I’m afraid he might pass on his illness to you. Maybe we should just forget about it!”

“It’s alright,” Lin Xin shook her head. “Bring the person out so I can take a look. It’s fine.”

Ya Tou glanced at Mo Ziyuan furtively, and seeing that he didn't object, he quickly ran to the back. A moment later, he came out with a child who was as thin as a matchstick. The child coughed as he walked, his voice hoarse, and it sounded like there was a bellows running in his throat when he breathed.

"Shitou!" The man rushed over and nervously and carefully touched the child's forehead, feeling the burning heat under his hand. His eyes were filled with deep worry, reluctance, and despair.

Lin Xin walked over, took the child's wrist, and held his pulse. She was pretending to take his pulse, but in reality, she was using her supernatural ability to examine his body. She found that he had problems with his lungs, trachea, and throat, and they were quite serious. If things continued like this, he would probably die in the next few days.

"I bought this child too, along with his father and those people. Calculate the total cost for me." Lin Xin said to the broker after letting go of the child's hand.

"Girl, you...you really want to buy this...this child?" Ya Tou stammered.

"Okay, I bought it. Hurry up and settle the bill for me, I still need to take him to see the doctor!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." The broker quickly calculated the money for Lin Xin, and perhaps because she bought the father and son pair, he even rounded down the price for her.

"The girl is a good person. Even if you can't survive the stone, don't hold a grudge against her. Just do your job well for her, understand?" As she was leaving, Lin Xin heard Ya Tou give these instructions to the child's father. She looked up at Mo Ziyuan's profile and saw his thin lips curving into a beautiful arc.
