Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

Chapter 81 - 81 Uncle and Nephew

81 Uncle and Nephew

Third Master Zhou frowned. The hand holding the whip was about to strike.

But Li Xiao looked over and he stopped.

“Who else?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.

Sure enough, he sounded like a boss. Even the voice matches his figure.

She would definitely save the person he wanted to save.

Li Xiao was stunned. He didn’t expect Lin Xiaoyue to agree so readily.

“Him.” Then he pointed at an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

The boy was skinny and sickly, which was a sharp contrast to Li Xiao.

The staff immediately looked at Third Master Zhou.

He frowned slightly and then nodded.

Sickly slaves couldn’t be sold at a good price. It would be a loss if the slave was killed. If this girl wanted to buy him, it was fine.

The staff immediately walked towards the young child and brought him over.

Because he was being stared at by Li Xiao, he didn’t dare to exert too much force on the boy and brought the person to Li Xiao’s side.

Third Master Zhou sized up the boy from head to toe. “A twelve-year-old boy, you could…”

He wanted to say what the boy could be used for, but when he saw Lin Xiaoyue, he stopped speaking.

“15 taels!” Glancing at Li Xiao, Third Master Zhou said rudely.

In his opinion, it was probably too expensive. After all, if he bought this boy back, he would probably have to spend money to treat his illness.

But he was a businessman, so he wouldn’t give him away for free.

Everyone discussed animatedly and unanimously felt that 15 taels wasn’t worth it.

“Deal!” Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoyue readily agreed.

The staff hurriedly knocked on the gong.

“Deal! Miss, please complete the procedure here!” Smiling, he said to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled as she glanced at Li Xiao and hurriedly went to the side.

Li Xiao held the boy and also arrived at the place where the contract was signed.

Lin Xiaoyue handed over 40 taels of silver and then signed the contract.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue didn’t mention to seal the slave stamp, the man didn’t say anything anymore.

The slave stamps were free, so they wouldn’t make any money by stamping them.

This big guy looked too scary to stamp on.

As for whether this little girl would get into trouble if she left with the slave without the stamp, that was none of their business.

“Carry him on your back and follow me.” Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Li Xiao and the young man.

This was not the place to talk. They should leave first.

“Okay.” Li Xiao responded, squatted down and carried the boy on his back, following Lin Xiaoyue.

The boy lay on Li Xiao’s back and looked at Lin Xiaoyue, who was in a good mood. He was still a little confused.

What was going on? Did he and his uncle really become this girl’s slaves?

“Rest. I’ll take care of everything,” Li Xiao suddenly said.

The boy instantly felt relieved.

He didn’t think about anything else and leaned on Li Xiao’s back.

Lin Xiaoyue found a place to sell horses and oxen.

When she heard that someone was bargaining with the owner of the shop for more than 50 taels of silver per horse, Lin Xiaoyue completely gave up the idea of buying a horse carriage.

Although she had thought about it before, the horse carriage was indeed too luxurious, and the ox-cart was enough.

But before coming to this street, she felt that she had enough money regardless.

Now, she had already spent 40 taels of silver to buy two people. The horse carriage was so expensive, so she no longer felt like buying it.
