Chapter 878 It’s Lu Yuan
When Xiaoou talked about the old man, there was obvious fear in her eyes.
"He knew that we had no parents and were living with our uncle, so he told our uncle to hand us over to him. He would teach us skills and give our uncle some money."
"Did your uncle agree?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
Xiaoou was a little uneasy. "My uncle will definitely agree, but he said he would go back to discuss it with my aunt. The old man seemed a little unwell, so he said he would stay in the town for a few more days and asked my uncle to go to the inn to find him when he had made up his mind."
When she said this, she looked at Yin Yunting.
It was Yin Yunting who saved the two sisters just now, so she now has the greatest trust in Yin Yunting.
"My uncle will definitely agree! He hasn't decided yet because he is still discussing with my aunt how much money to charge."
Yin Yunting said, "In this case, have you thought of a solution?"
It seems that this little girl knows her uncle quite well.
Lu Zhaoling leaned closer to Zhou Shiyue and whispered to him, "I suspect that Old Man Gong wanted to take in two more disciples because he had to give up Jiang Yongyi. These two sisters seem to be quite smart. Could it be that Old Man Gong cannot live without female disciples?"
"Yes. There was such a big commotion in the southwest. You said that once the corpse field moved, the people who set up the formation would sense it. Then old man Gong must have known that something happened in the southwest. He clearly wanted to give up Jiang Yongyi."
Zhou Shiyue thought the same thing. "After giving up, I just wanted to have another disciple. These two sisters are already orphans, so it would be most appropriate to take them as disciples."
Lu Song said, "I heard from my master before that some evil practitioners in the Xuanmen prefer to recruit female disciples because some of the evil magic they practice requires the use of women, and when necessary..."
Having said that, he looked at Lu Zhaoling, then at the Xiaoou sisters. The little girls were still here, so he shouldn't pollute their ears.
"...Even if he didn't have bad intentions, he wanted the female disciple to be dexterous and attentive, and to be able to take care of his daily life, such as sewing clothes, making shoes, cooking and washing clothes."
Lu Zhaoling snorted, "You treat your apprentice as a slave."
"Yes."
"That's wishful thinking. I will prevent him from accepting any disciples in the future, let alone female ones." Lu Zhaoling clenched his fists.
Xiaoou quickly glanced towards the kitchen, then lowered her head and said, "I thought I'd sell more sesame cakes in the next two days to pay back the money I owe to my uncle and aunt, and then take Doudou away from here to the southwest."
"You two are leaving here?" Yin Yunting was a little surprised.
Lu Zhaoling and the others were also shocked by the little girl's thoughts.
Such a young girl, with a little baby, ran to the southwest?
"Do you have relatives in the southwest?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
"No."
"So you still want to go to the southwest?"
"We don't want to be sold by our uncle, and we don't want to follow that old man. Doudou is also afraid of him." Xiaoou said firmly, "I will take Doudou to the southwest and find an older brother who has passed by our town before. I will ask him to help us find the way in the city. I will have a place to stay and can sell sesame cakes to support Doudou."
"It doesn't matter if we don't have a shop. We can just make ten cakes a day and sell them in baskets. As long as we can earn three copper coins a day, we should be able to support Doudou."
When Lu Zhaoling heard her words, she couldn't help but look at Xiaoou carefully. She suddenly felt a little surprised.
"What's the name of the big brother you're looking for? We just came from the southwest as well."
"His name is Lu Yuan, Brother Lu." Xiaoou said, "He passed by here before and bought three sesame cakes from me."
After saying this, Xiaoou noticed that everyone looked a little strange.
They looked at each other, and then there was a strange smile on their faces.
This made Xiaoou a little confused.
She thought about what she had just said and there didn't seem to be anything strange about it.
Even Zhou Shiyue couldn't help but laugh.
"What kind of fate is this?"
Lu Zhaoling nodded, "I really have a great connection with Lu Yuan."
"We know the brother Lu Yuan you mentioned. Is he a soldier?"
"Yes..." Xiaoou was also surprised, "You actually know him?"
At that time, Brother Lu Yuan was buying sesame cakes, and their uncle was scolding them. Lu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he punched the uncle and scared him away.
He also said that if they were in trouble in the future, they could ask someone to send him a message and he would send them some silver and come to the town to see them when he had time.
"Yes, I know him. He's quite familiar with him."
"Since you have your cousins, why do you want to leave here? At least give them some of the money from selling cakes and let them protect it a little." Lu Song couldn't help asking.
He just realized that although Xiaoou's uncle and aunt looked fierce, they were actually not bad people.
If he really had a bad heart, he wouldn't have carved out a small area in his shop for two little girls to sell cakes.
They said they were collecting rent, but in fact, Xiaoou said that not much had been paid and much was still owed.
And in fact, the charcoal and the iron plate were also paid for by my cousin. If my uncle came to ask them for money, my cousin and aunt would ask for money for these things together, and my uncle would have no choice.
In fact, they haven't paid back the money yet.
"If we do this, my uncle will come and make trouble for my cousins, and it will cause trouble for them to close down their shop."
Xiaoou sighed. Although she was still very young, she looked a little old now.
"My uncle and aunt are not easy to mess with. They will really lie down in front of the shop and make it impossible for my cousins to do business."
"Am I afraid of them?!"
Her aunt brought out the noodles and put them heavily on the table, and she was almost scalded by the splashing hot soup.
She rubbed her hands and glared at Xiaoou fiercely.
"You're such a fool! You want to take your little sister to Southwest City to sell cakes?!"
"You two will be robbed by beggars if you go! And you still want to sell pancakes! You think it's really simple. Do you think that without our help to set up your stall and the money we lent you at the beginning, you can afford to make and sell pancakes?"
"The copper coins you earn every day are barely enough to buy charcoal!"
Her aunt scolded them angrily, and every word sounded like a curse, but everyone present could hear that she actually helped Xiaoou and her sister a lot.
It turns out that they were the ones who provided the charcoal and other things first.
"What did you just say? Is your uncle going to sell you out?"
Her uncle also came out with some noodles. After putting them down, he looked at Xiaoou and said, "If it doesn't work out, just live with us. We won't starve you to death."
"Great! I was wondering why these two damn girls haven't come home yet at this hour. Turns out you two are plotting something evil!"
A vicious voice came from outside.
