Mi Bao was three and a half years old, and was favored by the big bosses in the capital

Chapter 23

In order to save Sushan, Wu Yuniang had no choice but to sell the family's Erlang, Saburo, and Goro to Huang Yuanwai's family in the town, and agreed that it was a contract of living, and once the family raised enough money, they could redeem the child.

This time the family got a tiger, and several people privately estimated that it would probably make a lot of money. The first thing to do was to redeem the three children in the family. Liu Wanjun always thought it would go well.

The smile on her face disappeared, "So what do they mean? Don't you plan to let us redeem the children?"

Su Guang: "Not really."

Liu Wanjun was in a hurry: "Don't talk to me out of breath, tell me exactly what's going on!"

Seeing that she was annoyed, Su Guang hurriedly said: "Sanlang and Wulang are fine, let's bring them back after we get the money tomorrow. The problem is Erlang..."

Su Shan answered: "Mother, Erlang is with the second young master of the Huang family. He likes Erlang very much. He is in charge. If he wants to redeem Erlang's body, he must get the consent of the second young master. He will help us convey the meaning, but I don't think so. It's very likely that we'll get what we want."

Liu Wanjun's face darkened, "What does this mean? Didn't we agree at the beginning that if we raise enough money, we will be able to redeem the children?"

Wu Yuniang, who was busy working in the stove, came out when she heard the movement, "What's wrong?"

Su Shan also told her about the situation.

Liu Wanjun: "Yu Niang, what did you say to the responsible steward? Did you say that you can redeem the child once you have enough money?"

Wu Yuniang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I did. Just in case, I double-checked. What do you mean now? Just because the Second Young Master likes Erlang, you won't let him redeem himself?"

Su Guang: "That's what Guanshi Wang said, but that's just his guess. We'll have to wait for him to ask. Maybe the second young master readily agreed?"

Wu Yuniang frowned: "I'm a little worried. I've inquired beforehand and knew that Manager Wang is a good person, so I thought about selling a few children to the Huang family first through him. Now he's saying that... Mom, why am I so uneasy? Woolen cloth?"

Liu Wanjun: "Little old man, did you ask that steward Wang, why does the second son like our Erlang? To be honest, although our Erlang is not a slob like Shiro, he is not sweet and pleasing either. What is something that the Second Young Master is reluctant to let go of?"

Su Guang: "I asked. The steward Wang was a little hesitant. He only explained that the second young master had been studying in the county, and only came back here last month. He lacked a book boy by his side. I picked Erlang. Later, I specifically inquired about Erlang's situation. After knowing that Erlang was not a dead contract, he persuaded Guanshi Wang to find a way to get Erlang to sign a dead contract. Because Wang Guanshi had a lot of things to do, he also knew that Yuniang was a must. He wanted to redeem the child, so he didn’t talk to our family.”

Liu Wanjun: "So that Second Young Master came back last month?"

Su Guang nodded.

Seeing that Liu Wanjun's face became more and more ugly, Su Shan couldn't help asking: "Mother, what's wrong? Is there any problem here?"

"I'm a little worried."

"What are you worried about, mother?"

Su Shan was very upset. When Wu Yuniang wanted to send the child to work as a servant in Huang's house, he did not agree, but he couldn't stand Wu Yuniang's repeated persuasion, and he had personally met and contacted the steward Wang before he nodded his approval. .

If Erlang can't redeem himself in the future, then he will definitely hate himself to death.

But Liu Wanjun just shook her head, "It's all guesswork right now, and I'll wait until tomorrow to hear the reply from Manager Wang. Tomorrow, I'll go with you."

Wu Yuniang hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll go too. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

Liu Wanjun is also a mother, so she naturally understood Wu Yuniang's mood, so she nodded in agreement.

During dinner, Su Guang told everyone that he had made a full 200 taels of silver this time because of the tiger, but the dinner table was very quiet.

Mi Bao had no concept of money, she was a little confused.

Shiro ate in silence.

Only Liu Lang asked, "Grandpa, is this money enough to bring the second brother, the third brother, and the fifth brother home?"

Wu Yuniang was touched by Liu Lang's words, and reached out to touch Liu Lang's head, "Does Liu Lang still remember the brothers?"

Liu Lang retorted: "Of course I remember! Mom, I miss them so much! I dreamed about them last night. Grandpa, you haven't answered me yet."

Su Guang laughed, "Of course I can. Liulang, just wait, Grandpa, I will go and bring your brothers back tomorrow!"

Hearing this affirmative answer, Liu Lang finally burst into a joyful and excited smile. He jumped off the table, jumped and applauded, and ran around everyone, "Great! Great! Brother They are finally going home!"

He even ran to Mi Bao, and said with bright eyes: "Mi Bao, they are coming back! You will have several older brothers again! Our house is going to be lively!"

Mi Bao was a little confused about the money at first, but now that she heard that her brothers can go home with money, although she hasn't met those brothers yet, it doesn't prevent her from being happy.

She couldn't help but slid down from the chair, and ran after Liu Lang, shouting, "I have another brother! Several brothers!"

Shiro looked at the two brothers and sisters who were running wild, and for some reason, he always felt a little silly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed.

Su Guang and the others looked at each other with a smile and worry in their eyes.

When going to bed at night, Mi Bao was still a little excited.

She was very curious, wondering what the other brothers were like, would they like her?
The next morning, Su Guang and the others went out to town after breakfast.

Dalang stayed to watch the house this time.

Because of the presence of Dalang, Shiro went to find the master again this time, while Mibao and Liulang went to Grandpa Zhu's house to find a sow with their fortune.

Throughout the morning, Liu Lang seemed very excited, and kept telling Mi Bao about the other brothers, but he also repeatedly emphasized to Mi Bao that even if there were more brothers, the sixth brother who was closest to her was himself, the sixth brother.

Mi Bao kept nodding his head, and he didn't even refute what the sixth brother said, which made Liu Lang very satisfied.

Su Guang and the others didn't come back until the afternoon, and they only brought back one child.

Dalang didn't see Erlang and Saburo, and when he saw Su Guang and the others' expressions, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Shiro and Rokuro don't know what's going on and are confused.

Shiro: "Where are the second and third brothers?"

Liu Lang: "Second and third brothers, why didn't they come back?"

The faces of several adults were tense and they did not speak.

Da Lang took a step forward and asked Su Shan, "Father, is it because the other party refuses to agree?"

Su Shan shook his cheeks and nodded.

Dalang frowned, "But, even if they don't agree, they can bring Saburo and Goro back first. Why only bring back Goro and Saburo?"

"Wang Guanshi doesn't mean anything, but he refuses to return the second and third brothers to us. It's just too bad!"
