Chapter 30 Wang Maner

 "Are you talking to me?"

Daohua pointed at herself in astonishment, looked around, and found that the girl was staring straight at her, with prayer and hope in her eyes.

Selling one's body to bury one's father, according to the routine, shouldn't you choose a young master or something like that?

Hearing Daohua's question, the girl immediately started kowtowing, making a loud bang on the ground: "Please buy me, girl!"

Daohua didn't speak, but looked at her carefully, and then realized that this person's eyes were very bright, and his brows revealed the determination and stubbornness that were unusual for a daughter's family.

People around looked over one after another, laughing and pointing.

Yan Wentao was a little nervous. He pulled Daohua behind him. Looking at the prostitute who was still kowtowing, he said hurriedly: "Don't kowtow. It's so cold. Don't kowtow to get yourself into trouble. Our family is not short of servants. You can find them."

Someone else!"

After saying that, he hurriedly pulled the rice flowers and quickly squeezed out of the crowd.

At this time, the Yan family's carriage and horses also arrived.

"Isn't it cold outside? Why don't you get in the car quickly!" Mrs. Yan's voice came from the carriage.

Hearing this, Yan Wentao hugged Daohua's creaky nest and carried her to the carriage.

Before entering the car, Daohua turned around and glanced at the girl who sold her body to bury her father, and happened to meet the girl's gaze that refused to be taken away.

"Hey..."

Daohua got into the carriage and was silent for a while. Before the carriage started, she looked at Mrs. Li and said, "Mom, I don't have a maid by my side yet. How about we buy the girl?"

She knows that Mrs. Li has been looking for a maid for her during this time. After all, Pingtong is the eldest maid beside her. She has to be responsible for many things and cannot follow her all the time.

Mrs. Li did not object immediately.

It’s just a maid, the Yan family can afford to keep her.

But she was a little hesitant when it came to serving her daughter.

Glancing at Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Li thought for a while and said, "Have you thought about it? Our family only has one servant for the young master and the girl. If you choose her, you won't be able to change her in the future."

Daohua nodded.

She just took a look and saw that the girl had thick knuckles, and it looked like she was used to working.

The girl next to her doesn't need to be too smart, as long as she is obedient and knows how to work.

Seeing that Mrs. Yan was silent and not objecting, and seeing her daughter looking straight at her, Mrs. Li thought that if her daughter didn't use it well in the future, she would change it, so she opened the curtain and said a few words to the boy driving the carriage.

The boy received the signal and immediately walked towards the girl with the silver.

Mrs. Li: "Let's go, He Wu will take care of this."

Daohua was worried, so she opened the car curtain and looked back.

When he saw the prostitute leaving with the servants at home, he lowered the car curtain.

"You!"

Mrs. Yan tapped Daohua's forehead, "When will you change your nosy habit?"

Daohua held the old lady's arm: "I didn't want to care about it, but she spoke to me and kowtowed to me... I can't turn a blind eye." In fact, it was the girl who was stubborn and stubborn.

The look in his eyes that refused to give up touched her and made her want to help.

The backyard of the county government.

Mrs. Li took Mrs. Yan, Daohua, and Sanfang to inspect Zhuangzi and bought back a maid who had sold her body to bury her father. Soon, others knew about it.

Because of what happened two days ago, even if some people are dissatisfied, they dare not speak out.

That evening, after dinner, Daohua returned to her room, and Pingtong came up with a maid.

"Slave, please give your regards to the eldest lady!"

Daohua looked at the maid kneeling on the ground, and after a moment's thought, she knew who she was, and asked, "Has your father been buried?"

Wang Man'er nodded: "It's buried, thank you girl for saving me."

Daohua: "Okay, don't kneel down, get up!"

Wang Maner stood up slowly, lowered his head, and did not flinch in his actions.

Daohua looked at her carefully and cleaned up. She found that the girl was not bad looking. She stood upright and looked a bit heroic.

"How old are you, what is your name, and where do you live? Why did you sell yourself to bury your father? Do you have other relatives at home?"

Wang Man'er: "To tell you the truth, I am thirteen this year."

Daohua's eyes widened: "Are you only thirteen?" She is even taller than Pingtong. She always thought she was at least fifteen or sixty-seven years old.

Wang Man'er: "My slave followed my father and grew taller."

Daohua nodded: "You go ahead."

Wang Man'er: "My name is Wang Man'er. I have no relatives at home. My father was a bodyguard. My mother passed away not long after I was born. I have been working as a bodyguard with my father all these years and have no family."

Daohua: "Since your father is a bodyguard, he must be pretty good at it. Why..."

Even in a disaster year, a capable person should be able to find food.

Wang Maner looked sad: "We encountered a refugee riot on the road and the goods were robbed. The owner of the goods asked my father and others to pay for it. We couldn't afford to pay, so the owner of the goods asked someone to beat my father and others."

Daohua: "Your father was beaten to death?"

Wang Man'er nodded, then shook his head: "My father was seriously injured after being beaten by the owner of the goods. He had no money for medical treatment, and he suffered from hunger, so he fell ill." He started sobbing when he said this.

Seeing this, Daohua and Pingtong looked at Wang Maner with sympathy.

When Wang Maner's emotions slowly calmed down, Daohua asked curiously: "Let me ask you, there are so many people here today, why did you let me buy you?" She and Yan Wentao were not very luxurious in their clothes, so why did they fall in love with her?

Where is she?

Wang Maner looked at Daohua: "The other people looked at me and the other two girls as if they were looking at the goods. Only the girl really felt pity for us."

Over the years, she has traveled extensively with her father, and she has also learned some skills in judging people.

There were so many people present, but only in this girl's eyes could she see the unbearable and loving feelings.

It was that kind of love that made her take the initiative to sell herself.

Hearing this, Pingtong smiled and said, "You have really good eyesight. Aren't our eldest girls just kind-hearted people? You have to serve me carefully in the future."

Wang Maner looked at Daohua with a solemn face: "My father told me that people should keep their word. The girl helped me bury my father, so my life will naturally belong to the girl."

Seeing how solemn she said it, Daohua was stunned for a moment: "It's not as serious as you said. You just need to do what I tell you well."

Pingtong looked at the rice flowers and said with a smile: "Girl, how about you give her a name?"

Daohua: "Don't she have a name?"

Pingtong: "Now that she has sold herself to the Yan family, the past will not count. Of course, the name must be given by the new master, which means a new beginning."

Daohua shook her head: "It's okay if she doesn't have a name. Since she has one, let's call her that."

Hearing this, Wang Manyer glanced at Daohua gratefully.

Her name was given by her parents, expressing their love for her, and she didn't want to change it at all.

Afterwards, Daohua asked Wang Manyer some questions, and then asked Pingtong to take her down to rest.

Before leaving, Pingtong looked at Daohua: "Miss, you also need to go to bed early. Madam has ordered that starting from tomorrow, you will follow the second girl and the others to Master Qin's place for classes."
