"Old Biddy Jia you foolish woman, if you continue to cause trouble for me, I will sell your niece to the Emerald Pavilion. Be more honest." Aunt Hua pushed the door and walked out, seeing Old Biddy Jia, who had been sold many times but had not, angered him.
This old woman would always be taken away by others, but they would never be able to reach an agreement with her.
Even if Aunt Hua sympathized with this person, she could not let him off.
Old Biddy Jia''s lips began to tremble under the threat of the granny broker, even her teeth started to emit creaking sounds.
"Niece?"
"Ning, Lady Ning, you have the kindness to buy this old woman''s niece."
Being threatened by the Aunt Hua, the Old Biddy Jia dared to cause more trouble again, so she could only beg Ning Yan.
Was this the tempo of dragging one''s family along?
Ning Yan was not happy in her heart. After all, her family was small, and she would drag her family along with her when she bought a wife. At that time, if she had any thoughts that she shouldn''t have, wouldn''t her efforts be in vain.
She did not want to experience the experience of getting a Mian''En, getting a Mi''Chou.
Perhaps it was because Old Biddy Jia was crying too unbearably hard, but in the end, Aunt Hua could not bear it and came close to Ning Yan and asked: "Lady Ning, Old Biddy Jia''s niece, Wu Yuvniang, is a beauty at the end. Those things in the kitchen are not worse than Old Biddy Jia''s."
"Lady Ning …" When the Old Biddy Jia heard her words, she kowtowed even more heavily.
Although the ground was loess and there were no stones, Old Biddy Jia still had wounds.
Is this true?
Ning Yan was deep in thought.
Finally, he nodded, "Let''s take a look first."
"Hey, Lady Ning, please wait a moment, I''ll bring the person over right now." Old Biddy Hua grinned, revealing all her silver teeth in her mouth.
No matter how he looked at it, he seemed a little foolish.
Ning Yan quickly retracted her gaze. Eyes were very important, she couldn''t let them be blinded.
Not long after she came over, Aunt Hua walked over with a youngdy.
Ning Yan carefully observed the girl, then looked at Old Biddy Jia, and started to frown.
Isn''t she a niece? There was nothing like it.
This also... It was too hard to understand.
Could it be that Old Wang also existed in this world?
Seeing the worried look of the girl, Ning Yan retracted her unruly thoughts. Thinking like this was still a bit immoral.
"What would he know?"
"Embroidery, ounting, and you can even read and paint." The little girl looked up at Ning Yan after she finished speaking.
"Do you know how to read?" In such arge Gouzi Bay, other than the vige chief and the Lao Ning Family, there were less than ten people who could read.
However, she knew all the people she met now.
Was his luck that good?
"Lady Ning, look at how handsome Wu Yuvniang is. Isn''t itfortable to leave him at home?"
"…" Ning Yan finally understood why the person in Aunt Hua''s hands was suppressed.
Even if he had a good reputation, he wouldn''t be able to stand the stench in his mouth and thus, be unable to speak.
She, a woman, bought a little beauty and brought her home as a vase to look at. She was neither Lace nor had any special hobbies, so if buying her home was useless, then there was no need to buy her.
To make a mistake like Rong Qingchen, just once was enough.
She was an idiot to continue being held up by a beauty.
Looking at the scattered firewood in the courtyard, Ning Yan extended a finger to indicate to Wu Yuvniang: "Take an axe and chop that pile of firewood."
"Chopping firewood?"
Old Biddy Jia and Aunt Hua opened their eyes wide at the same time. After all, the Wu Yuvniang was a pretty girl. No matter how you looked at it, she did not seem to be someone who knew how to chop firewood.
"Alright."
Wu Yuvniang pulled up her skirt and stuffed it into her belt.
With the axe in hand, he began to chop firewood.
When the axe fell, the firewood did not split in the middle, but the axe did.
He couldn''t bear to look at it directly. Aunt Hua covered his eyes.
Ning Yan held her hand and continued to read.
Wu Yuvniang picked up the axe, gritted her teeth and held it, then swung it down towards the firewood once more.
This time the axe didn''t fly, but it got stuck in the wood.
He could not split the firewood, nor could he pull out the axe.
Wu Yuvniang looked towards Ning Yan''s direction. She did not receive any orders, she just stepped on the wood, holding onto the axe with both of her hands, and pulled forcefully.
Gritting his teeth, his face turned red, and the veins on his arms began to bulge.
And then … If one were to call out his name and shatter the calm expression on his face, one would feel that he was exceptionally fearsome from the angle of a spectator.
In the end, Wu Yuvniang pulled out the axe from the wood.
"Come on, if you can split this pile of firewood, I''ll buy it."
"…" The Wu Yuvniang lowered her head and started chopping at the firewood with her axe.
Lady Jia stood beside Wu Yuvniang and extended her hands out in the shape of a hen, protecting Wu Yuvniang.
Ning Yan watched for a while before walking in front of Aunt Hua. "I''lle overter.
"Sure, sure." Aunt Hua hurriedly nodded.
After following Ning Yan out, sshe made sure that after Ning Yan left, he would find a man ande over.
"Wu Yuvniang, get out of the way." She could sell one person after the firewood was chopped.
She was still an extremely good-looking girl with yellow flowers. She would earn quite a bit with a single strike, so she couldn''t afford to lose her business.
Wu Yuvniang shook her head. Since she was the one chopping them down, she wouldn''t stop.
Even if... Wu Yuvniang did not dare think that it would be better to be bought by a vige woman than be sold to a brothel.
The Aunt Hua had many methods, wasn''t it just chopping all the firewood in the courtyard?
Wu Yuvniang was willing to continue, so she did not stop them.
He carried away the firewood on the ground and pointed to the big man that came with them. "Hurry up and finish these chops. I''ll treat you to some barbecue skewers after you''ve finished looking at them."
"…" Speaking of the kebabs, the Aunt Hua started to salivate. The unique vor of the kebabs couldn''t be produced by frying.
The big man put in more effort.
A pile of dry firewood was finished in a short moment. Wu Yuvniang was still holding her axe, dealing with the small pile of firewood beside him.
The more firewood he chopped, the more experience he would gain.
Although it might not be able to split the firewood, it would not cause the axe to fly away.
The big sized man looked at Wu Yuvniang, his face revealing a look of disdain. No wonder no one bought this girl. She had a long face and could not even split firewood. When she bought her home, she could only serve her ancestors.
Who wouldn''t be a small ancestor? They wouldn''t be so stupid as to sell it to a prodigal wife.
To marry a wife, one had to find someone like the Aunt Hua, strong and sturdy, able to wash clothes and cook food, and also able to chop firewood to feed the pigs.
Thinking about it, he was only short on silver coins to marry his wife. The big man didn''t have the energy to think about these things. He moved closer to Aunt Hua and said, "Roasted skewers."
"All you want to do is eat all day long, how can I not choke you to death? I''ll give you money, go to the store and buy it yourself."
"Heh heh." The big guy took the money and headed straight home.
Barbecue?
Although it wasn''t expensive, they still had to spend money and couldn''t afford to eat.
When he got home, he soaked half of his head in hot water and added a drop of sesame oil. Then, he plucked a white radish from the garden and soaked it in vinegar before eating it.
After putting the money that the Aunt Hua had given him into a purse, he was one step closer to marrying her wife.
