I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Luo Qianhuai talked about the needs.Mrs. Lin thought for a while, then led the two of them into the dental shop and entered the first courtyard: "There is no problem with any other requirements. My dental shop has been open for more than ten years and has always paid attention to credibility. I will never sell out. People who don’t know. It’s just that, little lady, you still ask to be literate, which is a bit overwhelming.”

"Not to mention my house, even if you visit all the dental shops in Nanshi, you may not be able to buy a literate servant."

Luo Qianhuai looked at the dozens of children sitting in the fence with dull and numb eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

If she doesn't know how to read, then she can't read. At worst, she can teach her herself.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a very low voice: "I know the words."

The speaker was a boy of about ten years old, sitting on the haystack in the corner of the house, with a seven or eight-year-old little girl lying on his lap who was very sick.

Mrs. Lin glared at him fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about! Shut up quickly, don't disturb the guests!"

When she turned her head to face Luo Qianhuai, she changed her smile and said, "Madam, don't be angry, this boy's words cannot be true. Madam, if you lower your demands, Mrs. Lin will definitely satisfy you.

Luo Qianhuai looked at the boy who just spoke.His face looked very tired, as if he hadn't had a good sleep for many days, and a strong sense of despair spread through his dark pupils.

In his previous life, he was still a primary school student. He only needed to study and have fun all day long. How could he have fallen to this level?

"What's going on with these two children?" Luo Qianhuai asked.

Mrs. Lin didn't expect that she would pay attention to them both. She thought about it and said: "This boy and his sister were sold last month. The girl looked like this at that time. Mrs. Lin, I have the right to treat it as a piece of cake." The good deeds were taken away, and I also spent money to find a doctor to help me see a doctor, but although the disease is not good for people, it won't last long, so no one will buy it."

"Mrs. Lin, I just thought it was a loss-making business, thinking that the other guy could always make back a little bit of his money, but who would have thought that that kid is a stubborn person and must be tied to A-mei for sale."

"Young lady, think about it, no matter who buys the slave, even if it's for a festive occasion, he can't buy an unlucky patient to go back to, so he's done with it."

"How much?" Luo Qianhuai didn't want to hear anymore and asked directly.

Mrs. Lin had long expected that this young lady must be interested, so she raised the price a lot: "Five thousand yuan. Buy one, get one free."

There was betrayal in this old woman's eyes, and Luo Qianhuai knew that she must have raised the price.She didn't want to worry too much, but Xingjiu seemed to know the market situation well:
"A boy of this age can earn at most one or two thousand from other families. As for the sick little girl, no one wants to be a supplement. That is to say, my little lady is kind-hearted. Mrs. Lin, you can't be so deceptive."

"The accounts can't be settled like this." Mrs. Lin's thoughts were revealed, but she was not angry: "We also have one or two thousand yuan here. You see, these children can do it, but they are not literate."

She didn't argue with Xing Yiduo, but turned around to persuade Luo Qianhuai: "Don't blame Mrs. Lin for being greedy for money. In fact, this girl spent a lot of money on medical treatment and medicine before. In addition, the two brothers and sisters were with me." I have been here for more than a month, and I have money for food, drink, and food, so..."

"Three thousand dollars." Luo Qianhuai said, "There's no need to say more about Granny Lin. If it works, I'll just sign the contract and take the person away. If it doesn't work, I'll go to another house to see."

"Deal!" Mrs. Lin didn't hesitate at all.It would be good to clear out these two slow-moving items. The three thousand dollars was actually much higher than she expected, so there was nothing to be unhappy about.

As soon as he returned to his shop, the boy, who had been silent all the way, knelt down.

"What is this doing?" Luo Qianhuai was puzzled: "Hurry up and boil water for a bath with Sister Xingxuan, put on new clothes and wait for dinner."

Xingxuan is the name Luo Qianhuai just gave to Xingjiu to make it easier for him to walk outside. "It's all because the villain talks so much that the lady spends more money." The boy's voice was hoarse.

It turned out to be about literacy.

"You are really literate, aren't you?" Luo Qianhuai asked gently.

"Yes. I can read and write, but my handwriting is not very beautiful." The boy lowered his eyes, feeling quite ashamed.

"Get up." Luo Qianhuai said with a smile: "In this case, no matter how much money you spend, it is worth it, and there is nothing to be sorry for. You and Xingxuan go to clean up, and don't miss my visit to your sister. "

Hearing these words, the boy's body trembled, and he looked up at Luo Qianhuai in disbelief: "Madam, do you know medicine? Can you help my sister treat her illness?"

"Of course." Xing Jiu said with a proud look: "Our eldest lady is not an ordinary doctor, right? If even she can't cure your sister, then this is probably her fate. "

Two lines of tears flowed down the boy's face.He kowtowed three times to Luo Qianhuai: "No matter whether the eldest lady can cure my sister or not, Yan Shu's life belongs to the eldest lady from today on."

His sister's name is Yan Ning. She is thin and small, with a bluish-white complexion, sparse and dry hair, a red tongue, thin white coating, and a heavy and thready pulse.

The little girl's tonsils were swollen and she was so weak that she couldn't stop breathing even if she spoke a few words.

Luo Qianhuai had already made a guess. After checking the pulse carefully and asking a few questions, he finally confirmed the diagnosis.

Glomerulonephritis, although it has been delayed for a while, can still be cured, but you have to drink decoction for at least a year. During this period, you can't do any physical work, and you can only take care of yourself slowly.

However, Luo Qianhuai was willing to buy her because he did not want to exploit child labor.

When he opened the door again, Yan Shu had already bathed and freshened up and was waiting at the door.He is similar in age to Luo Zhao, but he is not as handsome as the Luo family members. His eyebrows are broad, but his look is gone, revealing some youthful vigor.

Luo Qianhuai first called Xing Jiu over and asked her to help the girl bathe and change clothes, and make some soft food for the two children to eat. Then he explained his illness to Yan Shu's family.

"It's kidney disease," she said.This is the way nephritis was mentioned in ancient Chinese medicine, but this is probably the first time it has appeared in Henan.

"Your sister must have been weak since she was a child. More than a month ago, external evil entered the body and infected milk moths, causing high fever, which then caused kidney wind. In addition, the previous treatment was ineffective, so the delay became more and more serious, so that every day The back of the neck is sweating like pulp at night, and hematuria is visible to the naked eye."

Yan Shu didn't understand what he heard. He only cared about one thing: "Madam, can my sister's disease be cured?"

"Yes." Luo Qianhuai smiled and said, "It just takes a little longer, so you have to be patient."

She drew up a prescription and gave Yan Shu money to get the medicine.As soon as the latter went out, Zhu Niang stepped in the door with a serious face and grabbed Luo Qianhuai.

"Mother Zhu?" Xingjiu frowned: "You are rude."

"How long has it been, and you still care about this?" Zhu Niang quickly closed the door and window, and said shockingly: "Young Master, he is missing!"
