Chapter 218: Stupid men don't deserve sympathy

Chapter 218 Stupid men do not deserve sympathy

 Gu Jinli looked in the direction of Third Grandma's finger and saw a thin man with his feet up on tiptoes. He frowned and said: "Third Grandma, this is a lame man. Buying it is a burden."

"Third Grandma knows, but he looks very familiar. I always feel like I have seen him somewhere." Third Grandma said with red eyes: "Maybe I remember it wrong, but meeting someone who looks familiar is also fate. God asked us to buy him. Let's buy him and let him do some small work in the workshop. It won't be a waste of money."

Seeing that the third grandma was crying again, Gu Jinli hurriedly said: "Okay, please don't cry first. We'll ask him a few words and then feel his pulse. If he's not sick, we'll stay."

“Okay, okay, then ask quickly.” The third grandmother urged her.

Gu Jinli pointed at the lame young man and said, "Come out."

The young man knew that he was lame and thought that the family would not buy him, so he shrugged his head. When he heard Gu Jinli's words, he immediately raised his head, limped out, saluted to Gu Jinli, and said: " Please give my regards to my little boss."

After hearing what he said, Gu Jinli asked, "Have you been a servant before?"

The man replied: "Yes, the younger one is the son of a wealthy family in Daliang Prefecture in the northwest."

 They are still born in the same family, that is to say, both parents are servants.

"What's your name? How old are you?" Gu Jinli remembered what the third grandma said. The man looked familiar and added: "How many people are there in the family? What are your parents' names? Are they still alive?"

The man replied: "The younger one's name is Li Anzi. He is twenty this year. There are five people in the family. His parents, siblings are all still alive, but... he was sold separately."

 The man said, already wiping away tears.

Jiang Jiao pointed at Li Anzi and said: "This is a lame man. I didn't plan to buy him originally, but he used to serve the young master and he knew how to read. The soybean oil workshop asked someone to memorize some things, so I bought him."

 You can also read, that’s pretty good.

Gu Jinli continued to ask him: "What are your parents' names?"

Li Anzi said: "My father's name is Li Duofu, and my mother's name is Li Guiyun."

“Third Grandma, they are both named Li. Do you remember any acquaintances named Li Duofu or Li Guiyun?” Gu Jinli asked Third Grandma.

Third Grandma frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No."

 From this point of view, he must not be the descendant of an acquaintance of hers.

“Perhaps I saw it wrong.” The third grandmother said a little guiltily.

The third grandfather asked her: "Then do you still want to buy him?"

The third grandmother hesitated: "This... is lame."

 It is really not good to buy a lame person.

Gu Jinli said: "Buy it. Not many people in the workshop can read. If you buy it, it can help us remember something. Brother, it will be easier."

 Everyone in the workshop was illiterate. It was difficult to find someone who could read. Finally, I met one. Although he was lame, it was okay to buy it. It only cost a little more than one tael.

“Our workshop plans to buy you, are you willing to stay and work in the workshop?” Gu Jinli asked Li Anzi.

Li Anzi said: "I am willing, I am willing!"

As he spoke, Li Anzi glanced at the victims, then turned back and asked Gu Jinli: "Little boss, is your family still short of servants?"

He pointed to a girl in the crowd and said: "Her name is Yan Chunxiao. Like the younger one, she used to be a servant of the Li Mansion. She was a maid next to the young lady. She is literate and can help with writing."

Yan Chunxiao was very excited when he heard this, but he suppressed the excitement in his heart. He did not step forward or speak. He just stood there and saluted Gu Jinli's body. Yan Chunxiao was born into a family. He knew that his master had not spoken, so he could neither move nor speak.

Seeing that she knew the rules, Gu Jinli asked, "Why were you sold?"

Yan Chunxiao said: "When I go back to my little master's house, the Li family lost a lot of money because of fleeing famine, and their life is not as good as before. Nowadays, food and money are expensive, and they can't afford to support so many servants. After coming to He'an Mansion, the master's family Only the first-class maids and servants of each master were left, and all the other servants were sold."

This is all right, but Gu Jinli doesn't really want to buy her.

This girl is so good-looking. She fled all the way and everyone was as thin as a stick from hunger, almost like a ghost. But she was not that thin, her face was still a little rosy, and...

 “Stretch out your hand.” Gu Jinli said.

Yan Chunxiao was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then stretched out his hand.

Gu Jinli put three fingers on her wrist and felt her pulse. After a while, he smiled and asked, "Do you think my family will buy you?"

Even though they wore their hair in a girl's bun, their bodies were not clean. They had had at least two miscarriages, and the most recent one was probably three months ago. At that time, they were probably still with the host's family.

You can still get pregnant while escaping from famine. How leisurely and leisurely it is. You are still a maid serving beside the young lady. Who did you get pregnant with? Li Anzi? Or the male master of the Li Mansion?

Yan Chunxiao was shocked that this country girl could actually feel her pulse. She was so frightened that she quickly pulled her hand away and said, "My slave... I don't want to stay here."

When Li Anzi heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Chunxiao, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you say that we were going to sell it to a family?"

 Gu Jinli smiled meaningfully when he heard this. Seeing how anxious Li Anzi was about Yan Chunxiao, he must have never touched Yan Chunxiao. He was at most a spare tire. He probably still thinks that Yan Chunxiao is innocent until now.

Yan Chunxiao said: "Brother Anzi, don't worry about me. We are all servants. We are servants wherever we go. It doesn't matter whether we are sold in one place or not."

"Chunxiao, how can you say that? If it's not sold in one place, it's not sold in one place..." Li Anzi blushed and couldn't say the rest.

Gu Jinli didn't have time to listen, so he said to Jiang Jiao: "Second Uncle Jiang, our family doesn't want this Li Anzi. You can take him away."

 Are you acting in an idol drama? So inseparable. In this case, then he should go and keep Yan Chunxiao company.

Li Anzi did not expect that he was already wealthy, but because of Yan Chunxiao, the Gu family would not buy him.

Li Anzi looked at Gu Jinli with tears in his eyes: "My little boss..."

 He is a lame man, so it is not easy to find a buyer.

Gu Jinli finally asked him: "What is your relationship with this Yan Chunxiao? Is it an engagement, a lifelong promise, or holding hands?"

Originally, she wanted to ask if she had kissed him before, but the waves were too strong and she was afraid of frightening the ancient people present.

When Li Anzi heard this, his face became even redder, and he waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, Chunxiao is an innocent girl. Please don't say such things, as it will ruin Miss Chunxiao's reputation."

Gu Jinli smiled. Does Yan Chunxiao still need her to ruin her reputation? Yan Chunxiao's body is broken, okay?

 But she didn't want to tell Li Anzi about it, because stupid men don't deserve sympathy.

Gu Jinli ignored Li Anzi and just asked the victims present to line up. She took their pulses one by one, and checked their pupils and tongues.

Two quarters of an hour later, she checked all the more than 20 victims, pointed at two tall men among them and said, "Uncle Jiang, we can't have these two people."
