"What are you..." Qiao Chu looked at the two of them in surprise.
"Can you go in and talk?" Boss Ge's expression was a little nervous, but also trying to please.
Qiao Chu thought for a moment and let the two of them in.
Boss Ge immediately turned around and closed the door.
"..." Qiao Chu: What do you mean?
"Madam Chen, what are we..." Boss Ge looked at his mother-in-law unconsciously as he spoke.
Boss Ge's wife saw her husband hesitating and patted him impatiently: "Oh, that's it. We heard from Cao Ya today, do you want her to do the work?"
Qiao Chu nodded and did not answer.
"We just want to ask, can you buy her?" Madam Ge went straight to the point, and after speaking, she looked at Qiao Chu longingly.
"Huh?" Qiao Chu's expression turned cold.
Caoya is considerate of her uncle and aunt with all her heart, and talks about her uncle and aunt's difficulties. She is a rare and sensible child.
But she just said that she wanted Caoya to work at home, and her uncle and aunt were going to sell her?!
Qiao Chu felt like "Cao Ya's kindness was all fed to the dog".
While feeling angry in his heart, Qiao Chu's expression became more and more serious: "Does Caoya know it himself?"
Madam Ge didn't seem to notice the change in Qiao Chu's expression and shook her head: "She doesn't know yet."
"If she doesn't agree, I won't want her." Qiao Chu didn't intend to become a villain in the minds of others just because he wanted to do something good.
A twisted melon is not sweet.
"But this matter... is too disgusting. We don't want Cao Ya to know about it." Mrs. Ge rubbed her hands to explain.
"You still know this is disgusting?" Qiao Chu raised his eyebrows in surprise: I thought you were heartless!
It's really disgusting that you want to sell your niece who works so hard to eat less and work more.
After all, Boss Ge has been doing business all year round. Looking at Qiao Chu from the side, his expression seemed wrong, as if he had misunderstood something, so he hurriedly explained.
"Ms. Chen, I blame us for not explaining it clearly. This is what happened..." Boss Ge calmed down and explained the matter.
It turned out that a girl in Boss Sun's family died recently, so he wanted to buy another girl. After looking around, he fell in love with Cao Ya.
Boss Ge didn't want Caoya to work as a maid in Boss Sun's house, but because Boss Sun was too influential in the market, they were afraid, so they wanted to sell Caoya before the Sun family came over.
Gave it to Qiao Chu.
After all, Qiao Chu is the wife of the Silver-faced Killer God, and the generals of the Xu family army often come to the house for dinner.
They thought, no matter how powerful Boss Sun is, he would not dare to offend Xu Jiajun, right?!
Qiao Chu understood something in a daze, but after thinking about it, he still didn't understand: "The Sun family has a big business, why don't you want Caoya to go to their house?"
Upon hearing Qiao Chu's question, Madam Ge subconsciously looked at the door.
Seeing that the door was closed, Mrs. Ge lowered her voice and said: "Mrs. Chen, you don't know that the dead maid from the Sun family was only twelve or thirteen years old. She was serving Miss Sun. I heard that the girl was taken by the Sun family.
That son-in-law is..."
Qiao Chu didn't understand for a moment and asked, "What for?"
Mrs. Ge stamped her feet: "Oh! It's just... isn't Erpi beaten so badly that he can't be humane? He has a weird hobby. He likes to torture the little girl at home. That little girl was... by Erpi...
…”
At this point, Mrs. Ge swallowed her saliva and whispered: "I heard from the people who carried the body that there is not a single piece of good meat on the body..."
"..." Qiao Chu's eyes widened!
Suddenly I felt that I had been too gentle with Erpi!
This disgusting thing should be killed directly!
When Lady Ge said this, Qiao Chu completely understood.
In fact, Boss Ge just couldn't afford to offend the Sun family, and he was afraid that Caoya would become the target of Erpi's venting, and that the corpse would not end well in the end, so he wanted Qiao Chu to buy him back first...
Qiao Chu thought for a while and nodded: "I can buy Caoya, but I have a condition."
"Say." Mrs. Ge said hurriedly.
Boss Ge said first: "We don't need much money. Just give it as you see..."
Qiao Chu glanced at Boss Ge and didn't answer. He just said, "Caoya must know about this."
"But such a shameful thing..." Mrs. Ge didn't want to tell Cao Ya.
Qiao Chu sighed and told Boss Ge and his wife what he had said to Cao Ya during the day.
Finally, he looked at the couple and said: "Actually, this child is very grateful to you, but if this matter is not explained clearly, she will be very disappointed with you, and will think that it is her own fault and that you don't want her... It will hurt the child very much.
Heartfelt."
Boss Ge and Madam Ge looked at each other, and both looked a little moved: Caoya had eaten very little and worked hard since she had followed them. They never thought that this child could be so sensible...
Mrs. Ge wiped her tears and said, "Ms. Chen, you are a good person. I can rest assured that the child will be left to you."
Boss Ge also nodded: "Madam Chen, how about we bring Cao Ya over to you right now?"
Qiao Chu thought for a while: "That's okay. But the procedures can't be completed until tomorrow."
"It's okay. I can tell the outside world that you bought it." Boss Ge said, leading his mother-in-law back to look for Cao Ya.
When Cao Ya came over, she had already cried for a while. She had a small bundle in her hand, and there were no two clothes in it.
Qiao Chu had mixed feelings in her heart.
Dongfang Shuyuan, who was next to her, had just heard Qiao Chu tell the whole story. She was holding Cao Ya and yelling heartily, making Qiao Chu's brows jump...
"Have your uncle and aunt told you the whole story?" Qiao Chu looked at Cao Ya and asked.
Cao Ya lowered her head and nodded, looking a little lonely and a little scared.
"Okay, you can sleep with me alive tonight, and tomorrow you can clean up a room and come out, and you can sleep by yourself." After Qiao Chu finished speaking, he handed the prepared scraps of silver to Mr. Ge and his wife, and turned around to enter the house.
.
Dongfang Shuyuan hurriedly stopped Qiao Chu: "Cao Ya sleep with me tonight! I like this little girl so much!"
Qiao Chu paused and thought for a moment, she really couldn't say such "heart-to-heart" words. Dongfang Shuyuan had a delicate mind. Caoya suddenly changed her environment tonight, and her heart might not be stable either...
Forget it, let Dongfang Shuyuan take her with her tonight.
Early the next morning, Cao Ya got up and prepared meals, swept the yard, and tidied the inside and outside of the house.
Seeing Qiao Chu get up and come out, she immediately brought hot water: "Madam, please wash your face first."
Qiao Chu looked at Cao Ya, who was trying to smile with her little face raised, and took the basin in her hand: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself to smile."
Cao Ya was stunned for a moment, and then she stopped smiling and asked cautiously, "Does my smile look ugly?"
Qiao Chu sighed: "I feel sad, but the smile I am pretending doesn't look good. In my place, you can smile if you want to, and you don't have to smile if you don't want to."
"Thank you, madam." Cao Ya nodded and watched Qiao Chu wash her face. When Qiao Chu finished washing and looked up, she subconsciously smiled again.
Qiao Chu understood somewhat: she always had to face customers at the stall, and in order to make her uncle's business better, she always greeted them with a smile.
This has become a habit.
That's all, this kind of thing has to happen slowly...
