Chapter 178 The black-hearted mother

When Guizhi Niang heard this, she seemed to have caught an opportunity. She pointed at Mrs. Wang and shouted: "Oh, you knew she was sick and you still had to sell her to Mrs. Xie. You are really ill-intentioned!"

Guilt flashed through Mrs. Wang's eyes, but she quickly hid it. She frowned and said, "How do I know she is sick? She hasn't heard of it since she was a child. Did Ruozhu get it wrong?"

Bai Ruozhu glanced sideways at the two of them and said unhappily: "What are you yelling about? She has just recovered, what will she do if she gets frightened by you and gets sick again?"

Both of them were a little afraid of Xi Ya's appearance when she got sick, so they murmured twice and fell silent. For a while, there was only the sound of Xi Ya's low crying in the room.

Bai Ruozhu sighed, this Xi Ya is really pitiful, but this disease cannot be cured in a day or two, and she can't make her own decisions and keep people by her side, right? Not to mention whether she can support him, but she will definitely take Guizhi with her in the future, and Xiya is related to her. What if she leaks Guizhi's affairs?

Bai Ruozhu felt that Guizhi Niang might be more difficult to deal with than Laozhai, but she didn't want to be bothered again.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly went to get a pen and paper and wrote a prescription for Xi Ya, dried it and handed it to her and said, "Just follow this and take the medicine. If you drink it regularly, you won't get sick."

Xi Ya took the prescription while crying, and timidly thanked Bai Ruozhu, but she never dared to look directly at Bai Ruozhu.

"Oh, all the prescriptions are in vain. She can't even eat. How can she have the money to buy medicine? Poor baby." Mrs. Wang cried out faintly again.

Guizhi Niang rolled her eyes at her and said, "Didn't Madam just reward you with a tael of silver?"

Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered this matter, and also thought that if Xi Ya fell ill in public, people would definitely not want her. She might be displeased and say that she introduced a sick person to deceive others. What should she do if she wants her money back?

"Oh, this baby has no fate with Madam. We won't bother Madam anymore. I'll take her to get some medicine." Mrs. Wang blessed Yu Hongxiu and hurriedly pulled Xi Ya away.

Xi Ya was still crying when she and Mrs. Wang left, but she finally looked back at Bai Ruozhu. Her eyes were full of cowardice and pleading, as if saying, save me...

Bai Ruozhu felt uncomfortable, turned her head and sighed. She wanted to help Xi Ya, but she was not a charity person. She had to help the poor people when she met them. How capable was she?

The farmer is not interested in buying a maid, so what does it matter if she keeps Xiya? Letting Lao Zhai know that her family has spare money will take a while. Unless Yu Hongxiu is willing to take Xi Ya in, but she has already troubled Yu Hongxiu to take care of Guizhi, how can she open her mouth? Moreover, she had just seen Yu Hongxiu being frightened by Xiya's illness, and she was even more unable to speak.

After Xi Ya left, it was time for Yu Hongxiu to talk to Guizhi Niang about Guizhi's selling herself. Bai Ruozhu put away her sad mood and cheered herself up.

Perhaps it was Xi Ya's illness that made Gui Zhi's mother more confident. As soon as she came up, Gui Zhi's mother asked: "I wonder how much money the madam plans to give? My family is in trouble now, and Guizhi has to cancel the engagement. We all need money urgently." of."

Yu Hongxiu frowned slightly. She really hated this Guizhi lady. If she hadn't been well-educated, she would have told her to leave.

"I'm a cheerful person, maybe eighteen taels." Yu Hongxiu said calmly. She didn't directly say twenty taels, just to give Guizhi Niang room to bargain.

Guizhi stood there even more embarrassed, feeling like a fattened pig being judged and even bargained for.

Sure enough, Guizhi Niang started talking in a roundabout way, just saying how good her Guizhi was at doing it, how clean it looked, etc., which meant that she was not satisfied with the price.

Yu Hongxiu hated her way of not speaking directly, but she still turned cold and asked, "How much do you want?"

"Madam, don't blame me. Isn't there nothing I can do? I did the math and it's best to have twenty-two taels." Guizhi Niang said.

Bai Ruozhu cursed in her heart, "You're still twenty-two, you look like you're covered in twos, you're like a second-rate guy!" No, calling her a slut is an insult. It should be said that she is an old witch with a dark heart!

Yu Hongxiu said with a straight face: "You don't know the market, do you? Even the maid next to me doesn't have this price. I pity your family's difficult situation, so the price I gave you is not low." She waved her hand impatiently , "Forget it, I'm on my way back to town, I only have twenty taels, I don't have to mess with the rules like this."

In fact, Guizhi Niang didn't expect anyone to agree, she just wanted to raise the price. When she heard this, her eyes lit up. She also knew that she couldn't ask for more, otherwise the other party would lose everything if they turned against each other.

"Okay, as long as Madam treats my Guizhi well, anything is fine." Guizhi said with a smile.

Yu Hongxiu hated her expression even more, and said with a straight face: "I still have to go back to my house to deal with some things, so I'll just press my fingerprints and sign the deed of sale now."

She winked at the maid next to her, and the maid immediately took out twenty taels of silver and a standard deed of sale made by the government.

The maid borrowed a pen from Bai Ruozhu and wrote down Fang Guizhi's name, then asked Guizhi's mother's name, wrote it on the seller's desk, and then asked Guizhi and her mother to take their fingerprints.

Bai Ruozhu took a look and saw that this maid's handwriting was elegant and better than the average young lady from a small family. She should be the dowry brought by Yu Hongxiu from her natal family.

Guizhi Niang's eyes widened when she saw the silver. She pressed her fingerprints and took the silver and hurriedly hid it in her clothes, as if she was afraid that someone would come and share it.

"Okay, Guizhi, just come with me." Yu Hongxiu said and stood up.

Guizhi Niang rolled her eyes. She wanted to tell Guizhi a few more words to make this maid smarter so that she could send money to her family in the future.

"Madam, when I take Guizhi back to pack some things, I will send her over right away," she said.

Yu Hongxiu glanced at her coldly, "Don't bother, she is my maid now, how can she still wear the original clothes and shoes? My house will naturally give her clothes."

When Guizhi Niang heard this, she could only apologize and said with a smile: "Yes, I am too stupid."

You were very smart when you sold your daughter! Bai Ruozhu and Yu Hongxiu had a tacit understanding and at the same time started to complain.

Yu Hongxiu winked at Bai Ruozhu and left with Guizhi. But after Guizhi took the money, she immediately stopped smiling at Bai Ruozhu and left without even saying hello.

Lin Ping'er sighed when she saw it, and said: "Who are these people? If I were to deal with a mother like this, really..." It was better to just die. She thought of the poor child in Guizhi and hurriedly swallowed her words. Fortunately, Ruozhu rescued Guizhi, otherwise I really don’t know what would have happened to the child in the future.

Bai Ruozhu wanted to go to Xie's Mansion immediately to accompany Guizhi, but she felt it was inappropriate and could only endure it. She planned to go there early the next morning, just in time to check the Xie family's pulse and prescribe new dietary prescriptions.

But that evening, bad rumors spread in the village.
