Chapter 637 Yu Qiu

Seeing the girl biting her lip, Beibei smiled and took her hand. Seeing that her palms were wet, Beibei's smile deepened, and she comforted her: "I don't eat people, so don't be so nervous."

"Hui...Miss Hui, servant girl, servant girl is not nervous."

Seeing that the girl was so anxious that tears were about to fall, Beibei shook her head secretly and was about to walk towards the fourth girl, but she caught a glimpse of the gloating smile on the face of the fourth girl, couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and walked past her Go up to the fifth girl.

Seeing this, the fourth girl panicked, raised her head and shouted: "Miss, slave..."

Beibei raised her eyes and glanced coldly, she immediately fell silent.

The fifth girl was the youngest of the five, only ten years old. Standing in front of the knife, Beibei took her hand, looked back and forth, and asked, "What specialties do you have?"

The fifth girl leaned towards Bei Beifu, and replied with a blushing face, "Miss Hui, I don't have any specialties."

"Then what calluses do you have on your hands?" Beibei's eyes fell on her small hands covered with rough calluses.

"Miss Hui, my servant's family is poor, and the calluses on my servant's hands are made from hard work." The fifth girl said honestly.

"What did you do when you were at home?"

"Chop firewood and carry water, cut pig grass, feed pigs, grow vegetables, water vegetables, plow the ground, pull straw..."

The fifth girl honestly listed the jobs she had done. Not only Bei Bei was secretly surprised, but even Boss Zhou was dumbfounded.

This child is only ten years old. How could her family give her so much work so cruelly?

Beibei frowned and asked, "Didn't you just say that you have five elder brothers above you, and they are all married, why do all the work at home fall on you?"

"Miss Hui, my parents are both sick in bed, and my brothers and sisters-in-law have to take turns serving my parents, so I don't have time to go to the fields or do housework."

The little girl's tone was flat, but Beibei didn't ignore the flash of discontent in her eyes.

Interesting, Beibei smiled, showing a little more interest in this little girl.

Beibei asked the little girl a few more words before Boss Zhou sent someone to take them down.

Beibei looked at the expressions of the girls as they left. The first three girls all looked sad when they saw that Beibei didn't stay behind, while the fourth girl had a hint of regret besides disappointment. .

Beibei looked at the youngest girl, and saw that she looked calm, but she was a little different from the previous girls.

Bei Bei hooked her lips and shouted, "Yu Qiu!"

"Yes, Miss!" Yu Qiu was the little girl's name, and when she heard Bei Bei calling her name, she turned around and kissed Bei Bei.

After all, Yu Qiu was only ten years old, no matter how good his mentality was, when he heard that Beibei had left him behind, he was somewhat overjoyed.

"Yu Qiu, won't you be disappointed if I don't buy you?" Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Bei Bei was a little elusive about her thoughts.

"Miss, if you don't buy slaves, slaves will definitely be disappointed." Yu Qiu said seriously: "But slaves will not be discouraged. Boss Zhou bought slaves back to find a good place for slaves. Boss Zhou is very kind. I trust Boss Zhou."

Yu Qiu said and smiled at Boss Zhou beside him.

"This kid..." Boss Zhou felt guilty for a while when Yu Qiu looked at him gratefully.

Boss Zhou admitted that he bought her back, on the one hand, because he felt sorry for her, but the main reason was because he was in the child business, and his ultimate goal of buying her was to make money.

Seeing that the sincerity in Yu Qiu's smile was not flattering Boss Zhou, Beibei smiled and let Yu Qiu go down.

As soon as Yu Qiu left, Boss Zhou couldn't help but sighed: "Girl, to tell you the truth, I really can't bear to give you this child."

"Boss Zhou, do you want to take this opportunity to raise the price?" Beibei asked deliberately with a straight face, but she also saw that Boss Zhou really didn't want to let go of this child.

But she had already set her sights on this child, and it was too late for him to regret it now.

"No, no, no!" Hearing this, Boss Zhou quickly explained: "Girl, I never raise the price temporarily! It's just that this child is too pitiful."

"I met this child on the street two months ago when I went to Lin County to do business. At that time, she was injured all over her body, and she was tied and kneeling on the ground. There was a sign on her body that sold her body to save her mother. Her Several brothers and sisters-in-law stood behind her, begging the people on the street to buy her away tearfully. At that time, I was attracted by the pain in Yu Qiu's eyes, so I bought her at a higher price than ordinary girls. down."

"I thought that when she came back with me, she would be as inferior and self-pitying as other girls who were betrayed by her family at the beginning, but I didn't expect that as soon as she came back, she would start to work spontaneously. Occasionally, some girls would cry Not only that, she will even reprimand when she gets tired of listening to it, and she won't let it go until she wakes up, since Yu Qiu came, we rarely see girls here looking for death."

"Is it because of Yu Qiu's persuasion one by one?" Beibei became thoughtful.

If this is the case, then she has to reconsider. What she is looking for is a confidant who is clever and knows how to advance and retreat, who can make her vigilant at the right time, and who can make decisive judgments when she hesitates, not a maid with a bodhisattva heart.

Beibei is very aware of her shortcomings, that's why she didn't reject Duan Yuan and Shen Baichun's kindness, and kept Duan Yuan and Shen Wenshenwu by her side, but since Feng Shi was bullied by Bai Dingtao, Beibei suddenly woke up No matter how capable they are, they are not her own people. It is impossible for them to focus on her in everything, and it is impossible to put themselves in her shoes.

She also knows that it is impossible for her to find a confidant whose ability surpasses the few of them, and her requirements are not high. She only hopes that this person can act from her perspective in an emergency, instead of taking the people around her To be the bait and let those around her take risks.

Just now when she asked Yu Qiu if she had any expertise, her answer was very honest, she was not good at any skills other than work, but she didn't see the slightest bit of inferiority complex from her face.

Also, when talking about her elder brother and sister-in-law, although there was resentment in her eyes, she didn't say anything about her family to outsiders, which made Beibei very satisfied.

You know, Yu Qiu is only ten years old, it is really not easy to do this.

Of course, this has a lot to do with character, which is why Beibei chose her.

No matter how good a person behaves, she wouldn't dare to have a bad character.

Seeing Beibei's hesitation, Boss Zhou hesitated for a while, and finally said honestly: "Yu Qiu only persuaded some girls who were younger than her, and she didn't even look at those older than her. But when she comforted those little girls The others were also there, and those older girls stopped crying after hearing Yu Qiu's words, which saved me a lot of trouble."
