The prince's backyard is on fire: the story of dragging the princess and fighting the husband

Chapter 42
Although Wu Mei didn't know how much the money was, she felt that it should not be much.

Wu Mei asked a little puzzled: "How long would it take to embroider such a purse?"

Xiaoxue smiled, her beautiful eyes moved, and she said, "Let's look at the color of the suit. It's easy. It will take about a few days. Now I'm sent to take care of you, so I have a lot of time."

It's relatively quiet here, and there's only the two of them, apart from cleaning the house every day, they just serve Wu Mei, so they have a lot of free time.

Wu Mei smiled and said, "From now on, you can embroider with peace of mind. It would be nice to be able to sell some pocket money."

Xiaoxue's eyes were a little red, and she said, "Actually, I didn't save money for myself, I saved it for my brother."

"younger brother?"

Wu Mei asked very puzzled: "Didn't you already sell yourself to the palace?"

Xiaoxue sighed, and said: "That's right, our family is poor, my parents raised me and my younger brother, if a girl's life is too cheap to support her, she must sell it, and sell some money to support my younger brother."

Wu Mei's heart was suddenly hurt. In ancient times, this kind of phenomenon was very common. There was no way to sell children and daughters, just to survive in this world.

If the conditions are good, who is willing to take their own flesh and blood and sell them like livestock?

So she asked, "How old is my brother?"

"A little younger than me, fifteen years old, and he will be able to get married in a year or two. The family has been raising money for him to get married."

As Xiaoxue said, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she felt very happy, which made Wu Mei very envious.

Wu Mei also smiled and said: "It's too early for people on your side to get married. Children who are only 15 years old, even if they are only a year or two later, they will only be sixteen or seventeen years old. They will marry and have children to be fathers." Yes, children as old as ours are still in middle school."

Xiaoxue couldn't understand, so she raised her head and looked at her.

Wu Mei hurriedly said: "Even in my hometown, a boy as old as your brother is still studying and cannot get married."
