Chapter 211 Buying the whole family
If he hadn't been able to help Ya Po with some chores at Ya Bank, Ya Po wouldn't even be willing to take over their troubled family.

Who would buy a guy with a bunch of tow bottles, the buy-one-get-[-]-free kind?Especially the three infant milk babies, they were all raised in vain.

No matter how kind-hearted Ya Po is, her face is getting darker and darker when faced with the food rations for their family, and she wants to get rid of them as soon as possible.

But it was obvious that, just like his former master's family, everyone had to shake their heads and wave their hands in disgust and say no when they saw them.

Xu Mengxiao thought that it was no wonder that it was difficult to give birth. This family had a multiple birth gene. Giving birth to multiple births would be very dangerous in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

She was curious about one thing, "Why do you have so many children?"

The middle-aged man in his 30s and [-]s was suddenly embarrassed, "No, I didn't want to have children... I just accidentally got them. There are so many."

After giving birth to two boys and a girl for the first time, and putting his wife through a lot of dangers, he didn't want to have any more babies.

However, she had made all kinds of preparations, and because she had given birth to four of the second children, the wife became bolder, looked away, and didn't pay much attention to the fact that there was a third child.

It was also the third child. His wife died in childbirth. There were many children at home and the cost was huge. He also had to take care of several infant babies, so something went wrong.

After hearing this, Xu Mengxiao probably understood that both this man and his wife were very fertile. Looking at Lu He and Lu Hai, Lu Hai looked envious. Didn't he know how much this would make his woman suffer?
Fortunately, she married Lu He, who was unmoved and even frowned a little. Xu Mengxiao could tell that he didn't like children very much, and he was indifferent to such a cute little treasure.

"Girl, what do you think?" Yapo interrupted her wandering thoughts.

Xu Mengxiao came back to her senses and looked at the large number of people in front of her.

The man held his breath for a moment. Then he thought about other people's reactions, and immediately gave up hope. For a while, even if he tried to remain silent, there was still a hint of bitterness on his face.

His children are all pretty in appearance, with their eyes wide open as if they know what trouble they have brought to their father, so they appear to be extraordinarily quiet and well-behaved.

At this moment, they didn't dare to take a breath, looking at Xu Mengxiao and his group with anticipation and despair.

Seeing Xu Mengxiao thinking, Yapo was afraid that she would be like the others before, "How about this? You pick some of them to buy and see how many can be sold."

"No!" A group of children instantly made frightened and uneasy sounds, and the middle-aged man said even harder, "You promised us that you would keep our family together, please..."

As he said that, he was about to kneel down, and Ya Po also looked embarrassed, "But this is not the solution. I have given you so many opportunities. Every time someone comes to buy someone, I will be the first to recommend you, but who is willing to do it?" Buy from you?"

"If this continues, my little dental shop won't be able to support you. Do you plan to stay here for the rest of your life?"

"No, we can work!" the three 12-year-old twins said in unison.

"We can do it too. We have been helping with the work for a long time. We don't have much to eat, so we can do any dirty work!" The four eight-year-old children are also extremely smart.Even the babies who were still crying for food seemed to be able to sense that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and they obediently didn't make a sound.

Xu Mengxiao was about to refuse, but suddenly she couldn't bear it.

The middle-aged man suddenly stooped and his face turned red, as if he was making an extremely difficult decision.

He is quite knowledgeable and knows that these noble people in front of him are definitely not simple, so if they are willing to buy it, it will definitely be an extremely rare opportunity for him.

If he keeps guarding a few more children, they will really starve to death with his useless father or end up in a worse end!
"Then..."

"It's not that there is no other way." Lu He saw Xu Mengxiao's intention and opened his mouth to help her solve the problem. "Buy one or two more rough messengers, preferably to help him take care of a few young children, so that he can work with peace of mind and not delay things."

Xu Mengxiao's eyes lit up, this was indeed a good idea!

"This..." The middle-aged man was surprised and extremely frightened, "How can we..."

"There is no pie in the sky. In addition to food and shelter, the monthly money of you and the older children in the past two years has to be used as a subsidy to buy this mother-in-law and pay them monthly money." Lu He said again.

Men don’t even think about it, they are showing mercy and doing good deeds!
"Not to mention the monthly payment for one or two years, it will be enough for three or four years!" He quickly pulled many children and knelt down to them.

Xu Mengxiao originally had the idea of ​​​​paying off his wife, but if he could get more favors, why not do it?
"You've been here for so long, you should know someone who you think would be a good idea to help take care of the children?"

"Grandma Qian!" Unexpectedly, a group of children actually said in unison, recommending her in all directions, trying their best to get Xu Mengxiao to buy her too.

Only then did Xu Mengxiao realize that this 40-year-old woman was lame in one foot. No one was willing to buy her, but she was a good worker. Although she couldn't do any heavy work, she could do a lot of things, including three. A well-behaved child is more than enough.

Ya Po looked on beside her and was so happy that she not only wanted to sell the whole family, but also Mrs. Qian?
That was a great New Year, everyone was happy!
In happiness, knowing that Xu Mengxiao and others also had good intentions, they agreed to buy a large group of Tian family, and said with emotion: "Except Tian Ping is more expensive, costing 50 taels of silver, these children of his are cheaper, [-] taels of silver each." ."

Three taels of silver per person is definitely not cost-effective for the youngest children, but it is just enough to buy the eight-year-old quadruplets, and it is not enough for the oldest triplets who can do a lot of work. At least It costs seven or eight taels to buy one.

Overall, it's definitely cheap.

But Xu Mengxiao was not very satisfied with being so cheap. After all, she didn't like child labor, and she certainly didn't have many requirements for a few children.

Although buying them wouldn't mean keeping them in vain, it was unrealistic to expect them to be of any help.

"What about Grandma Qian?"

"Mr. Qian, don't look at her lame foot. She has lived in a wealthy family before and knows a lot of rules and skills. At first, it cost 30 to 15 taels, but she has been here until now. I will sell it to you for [-] taels!" "Ya Po said as if he was extremely generous.

Xu Mengxiao felt a little sad that a person, a living person, was being bought and sold like a commodity. She didn't want to bargain, but it would be better to make it cheaper and give them more monthly money with the money saved.

So Xu Mengxiao finally bought Mrs. Qian with 50 taels, Tian Ping 30 taels, and ten children with 100 taels. In total, they bought a lot of people for less than [-] taels.

Xu Mengxiao simply added another ten taels of silver and bought an old sister who was reluctant to part with Mrs. Qian and had a sad face, preparing to use her as a roughneck.

Even if a village is managed by men, it cannot be entirely without women.

She didn't do much to examine the character and abilities of these people. She thought simply. This dental shop has a good reputation, and the dentist seems to be reasonable and discerning. Tian Ping, who she values ​​​​and uses to help, must have poor abilities. Not going anywhere.

Tian Ping's unwillingness to leave his family behind and weighing the pros and cons at critical moments are also in line with Xu Mengxiao's requirements for Zhuangzi's stewardship.

As for Grandma Qian and Grandma Xue, they are close to the Tian family because birds of a feather flock together, so their character must not be a big problem.

Based on the above, Xu Mengxiao happily gave 100 taels of silver notes, took away their body deeds, and left with them.
