The yellow-skinned middle-aged man stared at the smug merchant for a while. In the end, he did not raise the price and remained silent.
"Haha, these two girls are mine!”Seeing that his competitor was scared, the merchant burst into laughter and then walked toward the two girls with a sinister smile.
The two girls seemed to have already known their fate. Their heads were lowered, and only their backs were still twitching. A few crystal tears fell to the ground.
"40 strings!" Suddenly, a cold voice came from the crowd. The merchant's smug laughter immediately stopped and he turned to see who still dared to bid with him.
When he saw that the bidder was a scholar with a delicate face, he could not help but be stunned. He sized him up from head to toe.
The one who made the bid was naturally Peng Yu. He didn't have much money left now. He didn't make a bid earlier because he wanted to see what price the other party could offer. He couldn't help it when he saw the scene of the two girls.
These two girls were only one or two years older than Peng Xiaolin. Looking at these two girls reminded him of his sister, Peng Xiaoshan, who was forced to sign a contract to sell herself.
This was something he could not tolerate!
"Little Yu, do you really want to spend 40 strings to buy these two girls?”Peng Yong did not expect Peng Yu to be so impulsive. He pulled him aside and asked softly.
"Yes, brother, these two children are too pitiful. When I see them, I think of sister and Xiao Lin.”Peng Yu knew that Peng Yong was worried about spending too much money.
"It's very pitiful. I'm just afraid that Mother will be angry when we buy it back. We won't be able to use so many people at once." Hearing Peng Yu's words, Peng Yong also revealed a sympathetic expression, but he was still a little worried.
"Money is earned and spent. Only by spending more money can you know how to earn more money. Besides, these two girls are pretty. When you grow up, you can choose one to be your wife. What else can Mother say?" Peng Yu said with a smile.
Who knew that the moment he said this, Peng Yong's expression immediately became embarrassed. His face was flushed red as if he had just drunk.
Peng Yu looked at him strangely and asked,""Brother, what's wrong with you? You're like a little wife."
Peng Yong wiped his sweat with his hand and said,"I don't need you to pick a wife for me. I already have a lover."
"Ah?" This time, it was Peng Yu's turn to be shocked. The people of the Tang Dynasty were so open-minded? Did they all learn how to find their own partners?
Sister, brother is free to fall in love. What about me? Do I also have a partner, but I don't think of it? If a chubby girl came to him one day and asked him to be responsible for her, he would really be a big black pot.
Peng Yu had already learned that the people of the Tang Dynasty viewed fatness as beauty.
Thinking of this, Peng Yu was a little anxious. She felt that she had to quickly ask her mother when she went back.
"Hey, young master, do you really want to spend 40 strings to buy these two slaves?”Seeing that Peng Yu was talking to someone else after reporting the price and ignoring him, the wealthy businessman was instantly a little unhappy.
"Yes, why? Do you want more money?" Peng Yu looked at the rich businessman from the corner of her eyes, her face indifferent.
He was also pretending. He only had 40 strings in his pocket. If the other party added more, he could only write an IOU to Granny Huang.
According to his observation, the limit of this rich businessman's offer was 35 strings. That was why he provoked him and at the same time, it seemed that he had a lot of resources.
As expected, the merchant's mouth moved, and the excitement in his eyes disappeared. He moved his fat body away from the two girls reluctantly.
"Wow, young people really have momentum!”
"This time, this young master is very happy."
"Didn't you see? They're brothers. When these brothers fight against the sisters, there's no end to the drama."
People in the crowd kept saying vulgar words, and Peng Yu's face darkened.
Peng Yu said," What the hell is this? You people have filthy thoughts and low tastes."
There was no way to stay in this place. Peng Yu handed the money to Granny Huang and fled with the two girls.
The wheels of the carriage rolled slowly on the bluestone floor. Inside the carriage, Peng Yu, Peng Yong, and Er Hei sat on one side. The two little girls sat on the other side with their heads lowered. Outside, Big Black was driving the carriage. This surprised Peng Yu. It seemed that these slave traders had put in a lot of effort to train their slaves.
The car soon arrived home. Peng Yu brought Big Black and Second Black into the house. The two little girls moved their feet and carefully looked around.
"Mother, I've brought them back!" Peng Yu shouted towards the courtyard.
Immediately, Li Cuihua, Peng Xiaoshan, Peng Xiaolin, and Li Daniu and his son all ran out. They looked at Dahei, Erhei, and the two little girls curiously.
Li Cuihua was obviously very happy with the two black men. When she saw the two little girls, Li Cuihua's face was filled with curiosity. She kept looking at Peng Yu's face.
Peng Yu was embarrassed by her gaze and could only say,"Mother, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that!”
Li Cuihua poked Peng Yu's forehead with her finger and pulled Peng Yu to the side. She whispered,""Little Yu, are you looking for a concubine for yourself?”
Peng Yu was immediately dumbfounded. What did this mean? Didn't he just buy two maids? How did it have anything to do with concubines?
Brother, no, son, do I look like that kind of person?
"Then why did you buy these two girls? Just look at their hands and you can tell that they haven't done any heavy work. They can't be carried on their shoulders. Our family isn't that rich." Li Cuihua stared at Peng Yu.
This time, it was Peng Yu's turn to be dumbfounded. That's right, he saw that the two little girls were very pitiful at that time, so he didn't think too much about it. Now that Li Cuihua asked, he was stunned.
