Auntie Lu grabbed the few fish she had caught earlier and decided to sell them for some money in the market.
When the two of them arrived at the market, Zhan Xiaolou helped Aunt Lu shout and shout. She knew how to speak and she could speak sweetly. As for the girls, they were sold in twos or threes.
A few men with vegetable baskets walked in and chatted.
Zhan Xiaolou was listening in idly. They seemed to be talking about someone selling their bodies not far away? This world can also buy and sell people?
The people who didn't buy vegetables beside them were also talking about selling their bodies. Lou Cheng listened carefully to what they had to say. So the seller was a man who wanted to sell himself as a slave to cure his ailing mother.
However, everyone's attitude was a bit strange. Their eyes and tone were filled with disdain. Zhan Xiaolou wasn't a curious person. No matter what the people around her said, she treated it as gossip and didn't forget about it. She only continued to call for people to come and buy fish.
Aunt Lu was rather curious and started chatting with the woman who bought the vegetables beside her.
"Big Sis, what's going on over there? Why are there so many people surrounding them?"
The woman pouted and said, "There's a man over there. He's not that old, but says that his mother is very sick and doesn't have the money to see the doctor. He wants to sell himself to save his mother. He's been kneeling there since morning. It's been an entire morning."
Auntie Lu cried out, "Why are you selling yourself out?" Don't want to think of any other way? This good yellow flower man is truly pitiful. "
Auntie Seller sized up Auntie Lu and Zhan Xiaolou before saying, "Aren't you guys from Yongning?"
Aunt Lu shook her head. "We came from Peach Blossom Village."
"Oh." "Then it's no wonder you don't know the situation. That man, many of us know that he is twenty years old this year and still hasn't gotten married yet. Not even a suitor has come."
His father was dead right after he was born, and after a few years, his mother became sick again. His health never improved, and in order to treat his illness, he sold almost everything he could at home.
The key point was that not only was this man presumptuous, but he was also very ugly. Other people's sons were fair and delicate, but he had fierce eyes and a thick body. Even if he was a concubine, no one would want him, no one would want him! Even if you're twenty, you won't be able to get married. I'm afraid no one will ever dare to marry you in their entire lives. " The woman selling vegetables explained.
"Ugly? A twenty year old man is indeed at such a young and beautiful age. Zhan Xiaolou who was at the side couldn't help but ask.
The woman who sold vegetables laughed. "Girl, it's not like you've never seen it with your own eyes. If you don't believe it, go and take a look." He then pointed in a direction, "Look, it's over there!"
His father's death shouldn't be blamed on him, and his mother shouldn't be blamed for her illness. Now that he voluntarily sold himself to save his mother, he could tell that he was a very filial person.
One must know that in this world, under the status of a man, to kneel and sell himself in public like this was practically destroying one's own innocence. If no one wanted to buy him today, he would never be married again.
His family was already poor, so it would be extremely difficult for him to live a single life.
"Aunt Lu, there's only one fish left. Give it to me, I'll take a look over there." Zhan Xiaolou told Auntie Lu before walking over to the crowd.
Auntie Lu agreed. She turned around to take a look. Of course, there was only one fish left. It really sold fast. She sold it off in just a few days. Lou Zigui was really capable.
If they had met a few years ago, he would have married Xiao Yi to her … Auntie Lu shook her head. How could Xiao Yi have such a life? She was like a toad trying to eat a swan.
