n81 Uncle and Nephew

nThird Master Zhou frowned. The hand holding the whip was about to strike.

nBut Li Xiao looked over and he stopped.

n“Who else?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.

nSure enough, he sounded like a boss. Even the voice matches his figure.

nShe would definitely save the person he wanted to save.

nLi Xiao was stunned. He didn’t expect Lin Xiaoyue to agree so readily.

n“Him.” Then he pointed at an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

nThe boy was skinny and sickly, which was a sharp contrast to Li Xiao.

nThe staff immediately looked at Third Master Zhou.

nHe frowned slightly and then nodded.

nSickly slaves couldn’t be sold at a good price. It would be a loss if the slave was killed. If this girl wanted to buy him, it was fine.

nThe staff immediately walked towards the young child and brought him over.

nBecause he was being stared at by Li Xiao, he didn’t dare to exert too much force on the boy and brought the person to Li Xiao’s side.

nThird Master Zhou sized up the boy from head to toe. “A twelve-year-old boy, you could…”

nHe wanted to say what the boy could be used for, but when he saw Lin Xiaoyue, he stopped speaking.

n“15 taels!” Glancing at Li Xiao, Third Master Zhou said rudely.

nIn his opinion, it was probably too expensive. After all, if he bought this boy back, he would probably have to spend money to treat his illness.

nBut he was a businessman, so he wouldn’t give him away for free.

nEveryone discussed animatedly and unanimously felt that 15 taels wasn’t worth it.

n“Deal!” Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoyue readily agreed.

nThe staff hurriedly knocked on the gong.

n“Deal! Miss, please complete the procedure here!” Smiling, he said to Lin Xiaoyue.

nLin Xiaoyue smiled as she glanced at Li Xiao and hurriedly went to the side.

nLi Xiao held the boy and also arrived at the place where the contract was signed.

nLin Xiaoyue handed over 40 taels of silver and then signed the contract.

nSeeing that Lin Xiaoyue didn’t mention to seal the slave stamp, the man didn’t say anything anymore.

nThe slave stamps were free, so they wouldn’t make any money by stamping them.

nThis big guy looked too scary to stamp on.

nAs for whether this little girl would get into trouble if she left with the slave without the stamp, that was none of their business.

n“Carry him on your back and follow me.” Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Li Xiao and the young man.

nThis was not the place to talk. They should leave first.

n“Okay.” Li Xiao responded, squatted down and carried the boy on his back, following Lin Xiaoyue.

nThe boy lay on Li Xiao’s back and looked at Lin Xiaoyue, who was in a good mood. He was still a little confused.

nWhat was going on? Did he and his uncle really become this girl’s slaves?

n“Rest. I’ll take care of everything,” Li Xiao suddenly said.

nThe boy instantly felt relieved.

nHe didn’t think about anything else and leaned on Li Xiao’s back.

nLin Xiaoyue found a place to sell horses and oxen.

nWhen she heard that someone was bargaining with the owner of the shop for more than 50 taels of silver per horse, Lin Xiaoyue completely gave up the idea of buying a horse carriage.

nAlthough she had thought about it before, the horse carriage was indeed too luxurious, and the ox-cart was enough.

nBut before coming to this street, she felt that she had enough money regardless.

nNow, she had already spent 40 taels of silver to buy two people. The horse carriage was so expensive, so she no longer felt like buying it.
