Chapter 116: You will belong to me from now on

When Xing’er saw Grandpa, Grandpa was already dying of illness.

Grandpa has had a bad time these two days. Not only is he sick, but his cousin and aunt still don’t give him food. They deliberately starve him, just wait for him to swallow, and then throw him out, so that they can save some rations for the family.

When the two grandparents met, they both burst into tears.

Xing’er wanted to find a doctor for her grandfather, but she was penniless.

She wanted to ask her cousin and aunt, and beg them to lend her money to hire a doctor.

Grandpa stopped her.

“My old bones have long been damned. Don’t beg those two beasts, and don’t worry about me anymore. You just…just take care of yourself.”

After explaining what he wanted to say, Grandpa was out of breath.

Xing’er knelt by the bed and cried out of breath. Xiao Nan stood outside the door, listening to the crying in the room, and felt quite uncomfortable.

Xing’er cried like this all night, and it wasn’t until dawn that she gradually stopped crying.

She wanted to borrow money from Xiao Nan, but she had nothing to grow up with, and even if she borrowed money, she might not be able to pay it back. What’s more, Xiao Nan had already helped her a lot, and she couldn’t ask for more.

In the end, Xiao Nan pointed her in the direction out of sympathy.

“You can ask my master, they might be able to help you.”

So Xing’er followed Xiao Nan to the inn again.

Xing’er knelt down and whimpered: “My grandfather died of illness. Now I don’t have a penny. I can’t even afford a thin-skinned coffin. Woohoo! I don’t have anything to mortgage to you, I can only sell myself to you, as long as two teals of silver…No, as long as one teal of silver. I want to buy a coffin so that my grandfather can settle down. Please buy me.”

After speaking, she knocked her head heavily.

Xiao Xixi squatted down in front of her and asked seriously, “Do you have any special skills?”

Xing’er cried and said, “I can mend clothes, do housework, and farm chickens.”

Xiao Xixi blinked: “Can you farm and raise chickens?”

“Well, Grandpa is getting older and his legs and feet are inconvenient. I am responsible for the vegetable plot and chickens at home. I have raised pigs and ducks before. I can do anything! Even if I can’t do it now, I can learn. I learn things quickly!”

Xing’er was afraid that the other party would not want her, so she tried her best to sell herself.

When Xiao Xixi heard that she could raise pigs, her eyes lit up suddenly.

Xiao Xixi immediately took out two teals of silver from her purse: “This money is for you, and you will belong to me in the future.”

Xing’er took the money with both hands and knocked her heavily.

“Thank you, young master, I will buy a coffin now, and when Grandpa is buried, I will come back to you.”

Xiao Xixi said: “Okay!”

Xing’er left with the silver coins.

The guard looked at His Royal Highness, and when he saw the prince nodded, he immediately raised his heel and went out.

Luo Qinghan asked Xiao Xixi.

“What do you buy her for? Are so many people in the Qingge Hall not enough for you to command?”

Xiao Xixi muttered in a low voice: “But those people don’t know how to raise pigs.”

Luo Qingshan thought he had heard it wrong: “What did you say? What do you want to raise?”

Xiao Xi smiled flatteringly: “I think it’s too monotonous to just eat chicken, duck and fish. How can there be less pork in our recipe? Think about it, that fat and thin pork belly is fried into fragrant back-to-the-pot meat, how delicious it is! If you don’t want to eat back-to-the-pot meat, we can still make Dongpo meat, or plum vegetable button meat! Oh, it’s no good, the more I think about it, the more greedy I am, my saliva is about to flow out.”
