When Tao heard about this, he insisted on taking Shuxin with him to see what was going on.

In fact, she wanted to buy a maid for Shuxin as well.

Shuxin wanted to refuse.

She is not the original body. She is a modern soul. She is used to doing everything by herself and is not used to being served. This is exactly what she wants.

However, Tao insisted, so Shu Xin had to follow her.

The two walked towards Madam Xiao's yard.

"Don't worry, I've already told Madam Xiao and the others, just pick someone later, I'll pay for the money."

Tao walked very quickly, and did not forget to give Shuxin instructions.

Some time ago, Yu Ansheng treated the exiles and collected some medical fees, so the Tao family now has some money.

Shuxin found it funny.

"Mom, you are rich now! But we still have to save some money, because we need to buy winter clothes later."

Shu Xin said with a smile, her tone full of teasing.

"Oh, my Xin'er is teasing your mother. Of course, your mother is rich. You can choose whatever you want, and I will pay for it."

Seeing that Shuxin was so kind to her, Tao was happy and started to joke with Shuxin.

Shuxin smiled happily, and she didn't want to refuse her mother's kindness.

Soon, the two arrived at Madam Xiao's yard.

At this time, the human traffickers had already sent the person over.

From a distance, there were five girls about thirteen or fourteen years old standing there.

They were dressed in rags, with their heads down and not moving.

Liang Xiuyuan was furious when she saw Shu Xin and Tao coming.

But Madam Xiao had already told her about this just now, what else could she do.

After all, he was just a broker hired by Zhao Shunping, and Shu Xin didn't need to pay any money to buy the person, so she had no right to say anything.

Because of this, she felt even more depressed.

I feel that Shuxin is arguing with me about this matter, which is really hateful!

However, Madam Xiao ordered Guo to wait here for Tao and her daughter, so she could not reveal her true thoughts.

"Sister Shuxin, you are here too!"

Liang Xiuyuan walked up to Shuxin and said with a smile.

Shu Xin sneered in her heart, but nodded with a faint smile on her face.

"I heard that Miss Liang San wanted to buy a maid, so I came to join in the fun. You wouldn't mind, right?"

Shu Xin stared at Liang Xiuyuan. Although she was smiling, her eyes were sharp.

Liang Xiuyuan was very bothered by it, but she could only smile.

"How could that be? Sister Shuxin is worrying too much!"

Shu Xin didn't comment, her eyes flickered slightly.

Guo smiled and walked forward to greet Tao and Shuxin, then called the human trafficker over.

The human trafficker's surname was Gao. With a smile on his face, he took the initiative to greet Shuxin and the other three.

"I have met several ladies. These are the people I brought today. If you are not satisfied, I can immediately replace them for you two. Anyway, I guarantee that I will do it until you are satisfied."

The Gaoya people were very enthusiastic and introduced themselves quickly.

The city gates are closed, and those who have some means have left the city long before the gates are closed.

Therefore, their dental business was also greatly affected.

I thought there would be no business now, but unexpectedly there were still people who wanted to buy people.

The Gaoya people naturally prepared early.

The ones she brought this time were all carefully selected by her. Not only were they good-looking, but they were all literate girls around 13 or 14 years old.

"These five people can read. Most of them were sold because their families were in trouble, but some of them came from wealthy families. You also know that after something like this happened, many families left early. They couldn't take everyone with them, so they sold some of their children."

Gao Ya pointed at the five people standing in the corridor and explained to Shu Xin and Liang Xiuyuan.

Liang Xiuyuan was anxious. Were the people arranged by the master also among these people?

Which one is it?

She thought about it and took the initiative to say to Shuxin: "Sister Shuxin is younger than me, so as a sister, I should be humble and give way to you. You choose first!"

As she said this, she glanced at the maids waiting to be selected, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

She glanced so quickly that you wouldn't have noticed it if you weren't paying attention.

Shuxin happened to see it and became suspicious.

"In that case, I would like to thank Sister Liang."

Shu Xin said directly, catching Liang Xiuyuan off guard.

Liang Xiuyuan thought Shuxin would refuse, but she actually agreed directly.

Liang Xiuyuan felt depressed and even more worried, fearing that Shuxin would pick the person who had been arranged for her in advance.

Shuxin felt amused and decided to take a closer look at these people.

She walked past them one by one and asked them to stretch out their hands so that she could see.

Seeing that these people's hands were not dirty, he nodded with satisfaction.

However, when she saw the last person, the girl just quickly stretched out her hand and retracted it, seemingly unwilling to cooperate with the selection.

When the Gaoya people saw this, they were immediately furious.

"How dare you! Your Excellency wants to see it, why don't you just stretch out your hand!"

But the girl was stubborn and refused to obey even with gritted teeth.

The Gaoya people were anxious, fearing that they would make Shuxin unhappy and the deal would be lost.

So she rushed forward and was about to hit the girl, but was stopped by Shuxin.

"Wait a minute, Gaoya, is it because this woman is not from a legitimate background that she is so unwilling?"

The Gaoya people cried out that they were innocent and were so scared that they knelt down in front of Shuxin.

"Absolutely not. This person was sold here not long ago. His family is from a nearby village. Because his home was flooded, his parents sold him here. I swear to God, there is no problem with his origin. I have never treated him harshly."

The Gaoya people explained hurriedly.

Shu Xin frowned after hearing this.

We often see in TV dramas that ordinary people can’t make ends meet, and selling their wives and daughters is a common occurrence.

In ancient times, this was the status of women. They could be bought and sold as objects.

Shuxin was filled with sorrow.

"It's pitiful. With all these natural and man-made disasters, life is so difficult for ordinary people."

Tao, who was standing by, muttered this, feeling very distressed.

However, Shu Xin noticed that the girl didn't show any sadness on her face, only anger.

"Aren't you sad to be sold into slavery?"

Shuxin walked up to her and asked softly.

The girl didn't say anything, she just looked up and glanced quickly at Shuxin.

"My nobleman is asking you a question, are you mute?"

Gaoya saw Shuxin was interested and urged her on.

Shu Xin was not in a hurry and waited for the girl's answer.

The girl hesitated for a moment.

"My family couldn't make ends meet, so they sold me but not my brother. My parents are biased."

On her pretty face, her puppy eyes blinked and she answered angrily.

Shuxin wants to laugh.

Such childish words show that the family was well off before.

Seeing Shuxin smile, she was a little confused.

"I'm sorry, sister. I just... I was afraid that you would see my rough hands and laugh at me. I didn't mean to hide them from you."

She bit her lip as she spoke, feeling a little shy, and quickly lowered her head.

As she spoke, everyone noticed that she was a head taller than the others and had a tall and strong build.

It seemed that he felt that this was a bit vulgar, so he didn't want to let them see his hands.

Tao couldn't help laughing.

"She is a straightforward girl."

Liang Xiuyuan, who was standing by, was worried that the girl was rude and impolite, and she must not be the one arranged by the boss.

However, she felt uncomfortable when she saw Shuxin was interested in this girl.

She couldn't bear to see Shuxin doing well, so naturally she didn't want Shuxin to pick a girl she liked.

"What's your name?"

She hurried forward to ask.
