On the surface, Shi Yi had nothing to do these days and was looking around, but in fact he was making some arrangements in the small place of Lu'an.

Shiyi has many industries both overt and covert. After investigating here, he decided to set up an industry here.

There is actually no special advantage in buying a property here, it’s just that there are people I care about here. Anyway, I have already planned to buy a property, so it doesn’t matter where it is.

Shi Yi dispatched some people here to carry out the original property purchase plan step by step, so on the surface she was still traveling around every day, but in fact her subordinates had already been deployed and were busy.

Not long after, Shi Yi moved from Yunlai Inn to his own office, and there was a girl by his side, the girl who sold her donkey to Asan.

Coincidentally, just when Shitou was checking out of Yunlai Inn and about to leave, he met the girl who came looking for someone.

After learning that she was the former owner of the donkey, Asan, Shitou was very easy to talk to and brought the girl to Asan. Probably for the sake of the donkey!

When the donkey Asan saw the girl, he jumped towards him happily. Shitou was afraid that the donkey would knock the girl away, but the girl hugged the donkey's head calmly.

Shitou: Well, I am just too surprised by what I have seen. I am superficial, superficial...

The donkey and the girl were playing very familiarly. Shitou felt as if he was seeing a younger brother rolling around on the ground acting like a spoiled child when he saw his older sister. Shitou couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Shi Yi happened to meet her. She looked at her with satisfaction and was not surprised at all at the girl's arrival.

I overheard the girl's family affairs that day. It turned out that the girl's grandmother even schemed against a donkey, and the girl's father was a foolish and filial man who was confused. It would not be long before the girl would be the next person to be schemed against.

That's why she secretly gave the girl a piece of silver to protect her from being tricked.

After all, in a family that favors boys over girls, the situation of girls is really worrying, and such tragedies have not been uncommon for thousands of years.

The evil of human nature is sometimes particularly heartbreaking when it is revealed in front of one's loved ones.

So at that time, telling the girl that he was at Yunlai Inn was to give her a way out. Now that she is here, does that mean that in such a short period of time, what will his family do to her after selling Asan out?

Sure enough, as soon as she saw Shi Yi appear, the girl knelt on the ground and begged Shi Yi.

"My lord, can you buy me too? I am strong and can do any job."

Shi Yi pulled the girl up and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl nervously replied, "My name is Erya."

Your name is Erya, and your donkey is called Asan. It is true. Shi Yi thought happily. "Don't you have the money from selling the donkey? Why do you need to sell you? Do your parents know?"

The girl choked up with tears in her eyes and said, “My grandmother was not satisfied with the money she got from selling the donkey, and she wanted to sell me to the stupid son of a landlord as his wife, just because the landlord would give her a higher gift.

If her mother didn't like it, she would cry and cry, if her father didn't say anything, she would sigh, and if I didn't like it, I would run away by myself."

Shitou's eyes widened as he heard this. What kind of family is this?

I used to feel that my parents didn’t love me, despised me for being stupid, and would hit myself a few times for no reason to vent their anger.

However, compared with the family of this girl named Erya, I am still relatively lucky.

After all, just watching and doing nothing would be like pushing oneself into the fire pit, and one's own parents would never do that.

After taking a breath, Arya continued, "Rather than being sold to a family like that, I might as well sell myself to you. You seem to be kind, and at least I can still see Ah San."

This is quite frank. Even a donkey has become her concern, while her nominal family is treated like the plague by her.

Shi Yi looked at the girl and said, "It's not impossible to accept you, but I'm afraid your parents won't agree. What will you do then?"

Shi Yi didn't mind helping her out of trouble, but if it was someone who was mixed up, she didn't want to get into trouble.

Unexpectedly, the girl said, "They only care about how much money they can get. When the time comes, I will give them the money I earned from selling my body, and they won't say anything more."

Shi Yi asked: "How much do you plan to sell yourself for?" It's really ironic. One has to be really desperate towards his family to sell himself.

The girl was a little conflicted. To be honest, her grandmother sold her for a good price. The landlord's stupid son had been unable to find a wife for several years, so the landlord was determined to give a sky-high bride price of twenty taels of silver.

But even so, few families would marry off their own flesh and blood. My grandmother was so obsessed with saving money for my uncle's family that she didn't care about her reputation at all.

In this case, I must not let them get away with it cheaply. Besides, buying a maid is not as valuable as a donkey nowadays.

After thinking it over again and again, Erya said, "It shouldn't cost you more than two taels of silver to buy a maid. I want to sign a death contract and follow you for the rest of my life."

This cuts off my way home. It seems I have no hope for my family anymore.

Yes, what this family did is not something a normal person could do. No wonder Erya is so determined.

Even if grandma wanted to sell Arya, it wouldn't have been possible if her parents had been more supportive.

Erya's father is foolishly filial. He listens to his mother in everything and doesn't care about the life and death of his own flesh and blood.

Erya's mother is weak and easy to bully. She will cry when she encounters unfair treatment. If her mother were to risk her life for her child, no one would dare to sell her daughter for nothing.

No one in this family can be relied upon, but fortunately this girl is independent-minded and knows how to save herself.

Shi Yi nodded: "In that case, I know what to do, you can stay here with peace of mind."

Then he said to Shitou, "If her family comes, tell them that Erya has signed a contract to sell herself, and give them two taels of silver and send her away."

Shitou said, "Yes! Master, but we are moving away soon, I don't think Erya's family will be able to find us."

Erya's eyes lit up. This was great. Let them harm me and worry about it. I don't know how sad my grandmother would be if she saw the money flying away. It was a relief!
