Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

Chapter 73 Meeting a strange little girl at the market

Mrs. Ding came back quickly, carrying a large piece of suet in one hand and a large piece of fat and thin pork in the other.

It's all the best meat from pigs, and it adds up to more than ten or twenty kilograms.

The people setting up stalls around were shocked when they saw the large piece of meat, and kept staring at them.

Mao Xiaosui also felt that it was too much and was embarrassed, "Why bring so much? I haven't finished the food at home yet. I'll bring the suet and you take the meat back."

"Take it." Aunt Ding put it on the egg and said with a smile, "When you're done, come over and sit at home."

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law."

Auntie Ding smiled with a gentle look on her face, "Why are you so polite to us? You go ahead and I'll get back first."

"Okay, sister-in-law, walk slowly..."

She felt mixed emotions while holding the meat in her hand, and wrapped it in cloth. When she raised her eyes, she saw Mao Mingzhu and Li Xiao staring at her not far away.

She smiled and looked away.

The drizzle in the morning turned into light rain, but there were more and more people in the market, all of them shouting for business.

Her eyes were looking around, and she kept shouting, "Eggs are on sale, eggs are on sale cheap..."

"What a cheap way?" The old woman passing by stopped.

The material of the clothes is not that good, but the scars are not patched. You can tell that he is from the town at a glance.

She smiled hurriedly and said, "Buy ten and get one free, buy twenty and get two free. They are all eggs that were just laid seven or eight days ago, so they are fresh."

"Didn't you lie?" the woman wondered. "So many, has it been a while?"

She laughed and said, "I'm not lying. I have eleven hens and three roosters at home, and they haven't been here for only two episodes."

Seeing that she was still hesitant, he said, "Raw eggs are also edible. If you can buy more than twenty, I will give you one more to try. You can buy it when it's fresh."

After hearing what she said, the woman didn't hesitate, "I won't taste it anymore. I'll buy twenty of them, and you can give me three as a gift."

"Du Cheng, I will never lie to you when doing business."

The old woman knelt down and picked twenty-three eggs and put them into the basket. She counted twenty copper coins from the money bag and handed them to her.

Mao Xiaosui stared at her while she was counting. After taking it, he put it directly into the money bag without counting.

The old woman was a little surprised, "Don't you count?"

"I counted them when you just counted them. It was twenty, that's right."

The woman laughed when she heard her speak so honestly, "You little lady speaks with sincerity."

She also smiled and said enthusiastically, "Auntie, walk slowly. I'll give you an advantage next time we meet at a party."

The woman then smiled and waved her hands and left.

"You sent her as a gift..." The person next to you was very surprised.

She turned around and found that it was the little girl. She had not noticed it before, but now she realized that the little girl was thin but had a pretty face.

She nodded and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Yaojia Village."

"It's not that far away." It was probably halfway between their village and the market.

"how old are you?"

"Ten years old." The little girl also sells eggs herself, and there are only about ten in the basket. She is staring at her eggs and naked eyes.

She put the meat next to her hand and started shouting again.

There was no one selling cheap eggs at the rally. After she shouted one after another, the business came quickly. In the end, the eighty-eight eggs were sold for only seventy-nine copper coins.

She sold out too quickly. After finishing the sale, she was sitting and waiting for others, when the girl next to her asked again, "Is your family very wealthy?"

"No, why do you ask that?"

"You gave away a lot of eggs. I heard you say you have more than a dozen chickens at home. Is your family quite wealthy?"

Mao Xiaosui frowned, why is this little girl talking so annoyingly?

"No, the eggs are not fresh after being stored for a long time. The family is so poor that they sell them for money."

She pursed her lower lip, "Are you from Lihezi Village? I heard what you both said on the way...are you from your village?"

"Yes." She said impatiently, "What do you want to say?"

"Can you buy me?" She was very nervous when she said this, but her eyes were always staring at her, full of expectation.

Mao Xiaosui resisted the urge to roll his eyes and ignored her.

The little girl then said, "I have four years to get married. Just marry me off then, so that you can make back the money you spent buying me."

"Then I raise you for free and provide you with food and drink for four years? You are quite thoughtful."

The little girl burst into tears at what she said. She touched her tears with her dirty little hands and said in a tearful voice, "My mother is about to die of illness. I can't do anything."

"Then you go to the town. There is a place in the town where you can sell yourself."

"I've been there, but they refused to take it because they thought I was young."

Mao Xiaosui didn't believe it. She was just thin and had a pretty face. Those places were probably longing for more girls with this kind of beauty.

But she didn't want to push the person into the fire pit, so she softened her tone and said, "My family is not rich, so I really can't afford you."

"Auntie, please do it. I'm quick at work and can do anything..."

"This countryman only has that kind of work all year round. There is no extra work that he has to hire someone to do, and he doesn't have the extra food to feed himself. Please beg me not to do it. I really can't afford it for you."

"I heard on the road that your family eats eggs and fish every day and is full of rice. I only eat a little every day. Please buy me. Please, take it as a sign of good deeds..."

Mao Xiaosui finally got tired of her nagging, so he got up and went to Mao Mingzhu's side diagonally across the street.

When Mao Mingzhu saw her coming over, she hurriedly made room for her to squat on the side. She glanced at the little girl and asked, "Is she pestering you?"

"If you insist on me buying her, I told you that I don't have any money at home and you still keep trying. It annoys me to death..."

"She is also pitiful. Her father died early, her mother was very sick and was about to die. She also has a younger brother at home. She also asked me about it a few days ago."

Mao Xiaosui said unhappily, "She means to let me buy her first and then marry her off four years later. How can such a good thing happen? Yunshan and I have enough to eat, but there is really no money at home." Money, more than four years of food for nothing, not to mention helping her find her in-laws, so I like to cause trouble for myself? I don’t have any brains in what I say, and I’m so picky that I’ve already sold myself.”

Mao Mingzhu thought about it and stopped mentioning it. She looked at her basket and said, "Have you sold out all of them?"

"Buy ten and get one free. More than eighty eggs were sold for seventy-nine copper coins."

Mao Mingzhu felt heartbroken when she heard this, "You prodigal, I won't beat you to death when you go back to Yunshan. The eggs won't go bad. Why did you give them away?"

"Eleven chickens can lay eggs quickly, so exchanging money is a serious matter."

Mao Mingzhu rolled her eyes at her, but she couldn't bear it.

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and pressed the meat wrapped in cloth, and asked in surprise, "Did you buy this or was it given by the woman at the pork shop?"

"I saw you guys chatting. Do you know each other?"

"So we know each other. She ordered fish from me, and the meat is on top of the bill."

"I see." She laughed, "I thought it was a gift."

"No way, how much money does this cost..."

"That's right." Li Xiao laughed again, "You are the only ones in the village willing to buy such a large piece of meat."

“It’s so hot that we can’t keep the meat, and they are only willing to exchange it for meat, otherwise we wouldn’t be willing to give it up…”

"The main thing is that there is no shortage of fish at home. It's better to exchange fish for meat than to buy it yourself, right?"

"That's the truth." Li Xiao nodded with a sudden look on his face.

Mao Xiaosui sighed. Sure enough, no matter how close you are, no one would want you to have a good life.
