Being stared at by Hualou's mother like this, Mo Yu retracted her head in fright, and hid her whole body behind Shen Qiushui.

Hualou's mother is especially good at looking at people. Mo Yu was born so beautiful at a young age, and when she grows up, she must be a charming figure. She really doesn't want to let such a good seedling go.

Unable to see Mo Yu's face, Hua Lou's mother withdrew her eyes in disappointment, straightened her waist and said to Shen Qiushui:

"How about this, you sell the child to me, the price is easy to negotiate, I only want this little girl."

Hualou's mother thought that the reason why Shen Qiushui asked Shanghualou to have a child last time was probably because she bought the other's son together.

If she had known that Shen Qiushui would be so tough, she would only buy girls.

Boys are dispensable to her, and what she likes the most is the little girl behind him.

Seeing that Shen Qiushui lowered her eyes and did not speak, Hualou's mother thought that the other party was persuaded by her, and continued to speak: "How about this, the price is 50 taels of silver."

"The price is not low. You won't be able to earn 50 taels for the rest of your life. It's not bad for the child to follow me. The food and lodging are the best, and you can learn a lot..."

"Heh, what did I learn from you, how to pick up customers!" Shen Qiushui twitched his lips and smiled coldly.

She looked up, her face full of sarcasm.

Hualou's mother became angry from embarrassment at what she said, pointing at Shen Qiushui with trembling fingers, "Don't you know good from bad!"

"Go away, I can raise my daughter by myself!" Shen Qiushui waved her hand away and glared at her.

Hualou's mother couldn't stand still, her outstretched hand was swung back, she staggered a few steps, and finally stabilized her figure by holding on to the door frame.

Just now, she was so angry that she forgot about Shen Qiushui's tricks, and there was still a slight touch on her hand, and she was afraid for a while.

A few passers-by watching the excitement gathered around.

Buying and selling children is a dishonorable thing, and it would be the kind that would be cast aside in the face of it.

Facing the pointers from passers-by, Hualou's mother couldn't stay any longer, she concealed the fear in her eyes, and before she left, she took a look at Shen Qiushui and left a sentence:

"You should think about it carefully. 50 taels is a lot. I'll wait for you in Hualou."

After saying this, without waiting for Shen Qiushui's reaction, he left without looking back.

With such an attitude from Hualou's mother, it was obvious that she was still thinking about Mo Yu, Shen Qiushui clenched her fists "cracking", but the perpetrator had already left, and the anger in her heart could not be expressed.

There were several passers-by watching the excitement standing at the door, blocking the business of the rice and grain shop, and the waiter came forward to chase them away.

After calming down, Shen Qiushui turned around.

Mo Yu looked at his mother, his eyes were red, and when he met Shen Qiushui's gaze, he couldn't hold back and cried loudly.

He rushed towards Shen Qiushui and hugged her thigh tightly.

"Woo... Mother, don't sell Yu'er, Yu'er is useful, Yu'er can do a lot of things..." Mo Yu was almost hanging on Shen Qiushui's lap, crying loudly, and the words in his mouth were somewhat vague.

Although the two children are young, they already understand the meaning of selling children. Mrs. Mo used to say that she would sell them in front of the two children.

Mo Dong also seemed to be affected by Mo Yu's emotions, he pressed his lips tightly and looked at his crying sister.

The little girl was crying with pear blossoms and rain, Shen Qiushui felt distressed.

He quickly took the child into his arms and coaxed him.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Shen Qiushui wiped away the little girl's tears with his hands.

The child is like made of water. The tears on the face have not been wiped clean, and the tears in the eyes are gushing out again.

"Mother..." Mo Yu hugged Shen Qiushui's neck tightly, holding back the tears in her eyes, not letting them fall, "Don't sell Yu'er, Yu'er is obedient, don't cry..."

Having said that, how could the tears be held back? After the eye sockets were full, those who shed more tears still fell down.

In order not to cry, the little girl's face turned red, and Shen Qiushui's heart was broken when she saw it.

"Yu'er is my mother's sweetheart, how could my mother betray her? Be good, let's stop crying." Shen Qiushui gently coaxed Mo Yu.

"Really?" Mo Yu leaned closer to Shen Qiushui's cheek and asked in disbelief, "But that aunt wants to give mother 50 taels..."

There are also people in the village who can't survive and can only sell their sons and daughters, and the selling price is only a few taels. In comparison, the temptation of 50 taels is too great.

"Really, mother will not sell Yu'er even if she sells herself." Shen Qiushui stared at Mo Yu and gave an affirmative answer.

"Yu'er likes mother the most." Mo Yu got a satisfactory answer, and instantly turned from crying to laughing. She leaned close to Shen Qiushui's cheek, poked her, and buried her head in Shen Qiushui's embrace shyly.

Feeling the kiss on the cheek, Shen Qiushui's heart softened, and he rubbed the back of the little girl's head.

At this moment, Mo Dong stepped forward and pulled Mo Yu's foot.

Mo Yu raised his head and turned to look at Mo Dong, keenly feeling that Mo Dong was a little unhappy, and quickly added in a childish voice: "Yu'er also likes brother the most~"

"Who, who wants you to like it." Mo Dong turned his head to one side.

The baby fat on Mo Dong's face made Shen Qiu's sailor itch, but he couldn't help it, so he stretched out his hand and pinched it gently.

Mo Dong's face was slightly hot.

"Guest officer, do you still want to buy food?" the waiter asked.

"Buy." Shen Qiushui nodded, put down Mo Yu who had been coaxed, and followed the waiter to several opened sacks.

Almost all kinds of grains such as soybeans, wheat, brown rice, etc. are available.

In the middle is the bag of rose rice that Hualou's mother asked for earlier.

Shen Qiushui stepped forward and grabbed it.

She discovered that the so-called rose rice was purple rice.

"How much is this per catty?" Shen Qiushui asked curiously.

It is obviously not cheap to give this rice a nice name.

The waiter in the shop made a gesture to Shen Qiushui, and Shen Qiushui understood it in seconds.

Sure enough, it is an IQ tax, which does not cheat the poor, but only cheats the rich.

Shen Qiushui threw the rice back into the bag.

The waiter who was in charge of receiving Hualou's mother ran over quickly.

"I'm sorry, this kind of rice has already been sold to Hualou." The waiter in the shop spoke to Shen Qiushui, and immediately called for someone to remove the bag of rice.

Shen Qiushui didn't intend to buy this at all, she nodded, and took two steps to the side to make room for the waiter in the shop to move all the purple rice away.

Shen Qiushui was picking out grains, but couldn't make up his mind to buy them for a while.

She is most inclined to buy rice, but rice grain is the most expensive in the store.Even the richest village head in the village does not have the financial resources to eat rice every day.

Almost all the rice grown by the villagers is sold.

Shen Qiushui suddenly remembered what Granny Luo told her before going out.

Granny Luo knew that they were coming to the county to buy grain, so she told Shen Qiushui that there were still a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes hidden in the cellar, and asked them to buy less grain and save some money.

Shen Qiushui bought a sack of old rice and two sacks of wheat with the little money in his hand, and then asked the waiter to pack a few catties of beans.
