Chapter 169 Relatives Worse Than Beasts

"I've bought all of these. Tell me how much they cost."

Qu Jingyao clearly saw that the girls breathed a sigh of relief.

If these children were really sold into brothels, the outcome would be predictable.

"Girl, you can see that my daughter can do everything. It's worth buying her back."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me how much silver it is?"

Bai Guo looked at the faces of the two men, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The two men looked at each other, then stammered to Qu Jingyao, "Two... two taels each."

"I want five taels of silver for these two. When they grow up, I can buy them back home as child brides or as maids."

Qu Jingyao was too lazy to deal with the two men, so the frustrated Bai Guo gave them some money, and she went to the carriage to write a contract to sell herself.

She turned and left the crowd. The two men saw her and shouted in panic, "It would be better if she could get a cheaper price."

Bai Guo reached out to stop the two men.

"Are you still going to sell it? Please tell me the price."

Qu Jingyao returned to the carriage and quickly wrote a few indentures. She dried the ink, got off the carriage, and returned to the crowd.

"Sign these indentures, take the money and leave. These children will have nothing to do with you in the future."

When the two men saw the white silver ingot in Baiguo's hand, their eyes lit up and they had greedy smiles on their lips.

He took the indenture contract with a nod and a bow, bit his finger hard and pressed his fingerprint on it.

"Okay, give me the silver."

Baiguo looked at the man's anxious and excited expression and couldn't help but ask what was really in his mind.

"Are you beasts? You don't even take a second look at your own children?"

"Girl, can you keep them alive if you look at them one more time? Can you keep your family fed if you look at them one more time? Even the wild vegetables that have just sprouted in the fields have been dug up. We also need to survive!"

The man suddenly stopped and a sad smile flashed across his face.

Qu Jingyao's eyes flashed slightly, and she signaled Baiguo to give them the silver and money.

The two men took the silver and quickly ran out of the crowd. The middle-aged man suddenly stopped and said without turning his head, "You should be obedient in the future when you are in the master's house, and don't blame your father for being cruel."

None of the girls shed tears. They kept their heads down stubbornly, not even looking at the man.

The older girl looked in the direction the old man left, her eyes full of hatred and complex worry.

"Let's go, this will be your master from now on."

Five half-grown children followed Bai Guo, not daring to say a word, and walked towards the carriage.

Qu Jingyao got on the carriage and called the girls behind her to get on as well.

Baiguo carried the girls onto the carriage and drove straight towards the yamen.

"Master, please take these indentured slaves to the government first to clear the way."

"Well, let's go."

Qu Jingyao looked at the five reserved girls in the carriage and asked about their ages in a low voice.

"I...I'm...twelve years old, and this is my sister, who's eleven."

"We...we are cousins. I'm eleven and they're ten."

Seeing the timid looks of the few people, Qu Jingyao sighed, and then asked if the reason they were sold was really because they had no food to eat?

As soon as she finished speaking, several little girls started crying, saying that they were considered a loss of money in the eyes of their families.

Besides, the food stored at home had been eaten up long ago since the winter. When spring finally arrived, the crops grew very fast and the family had no extra money to buy food.

The villagers had dug up all the wild vegetables in the fields, so they had to sell them to exchange for food for their families.

"From now on, you can work in my house with peace of mind."

"So can we have enough to eat? We don't eat much, really."

Qu Jingyao looked at the children in front of her who were only a few years younger than her, and felt sad.

She nodded in agreement, saying that as long as they worked hard, they would have enough food and clothing, and those who did a good job would receive monthly wages in the future.

"Great."
