"Madame really guessed, her mother owed her uncle a lot of silver when she was alive, so even if his uncle wanted to sell her, the village chief couldn't stop her. Ge Yapo said next to him.

This time pays attention to the repayment of the father's debts and the son's debts, and she has to repay the debts when her mother dies.

Bai Ruozhu stared at the mute girl and didn't speak, the dumb girl cried for a long time, and finally raised her head to look at Bai Ruozhu, and nodded vigorously, indicating that she could do what Bai Ruozhu said.

"Okay, I'll buy her, what's her name?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Ge Yapo showed joy and said: "It's called Zhaodi, her family is still counting on another male baby, but she doesn't want her father to die of a serious illness early." As for what it will be called in the future, it's not up to you to decide?"

Bai Ruozhu has always felt that the woman's name is Zhao Di and Lai Di is a very helpless name, as if her storage is just for the sake of having a man in the family, so she doesn't like this kind of name.

"It's called Lamei, and it can bloom brilliantly even in the coldest winter. Bai Ruozhu said lightly.

The mute girl looked at Bai Ruozhu in a daze, her eyes gradually regained her strength, she nodded at Bai Ruozhu gratefully, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly blessed Bai Ruozhu according to the rules.

Then Bai Ruozhu asked Ge Ya Po the price, Ge Ya Po was really a man of words, and calculated the preferential price for Bai Ruozhu, Bai Ruozhu looked at her pleasing to the eye, and rewarded her with three dollars of silver, saying that buyers would come to her in the future.

Ge Yapo was very happy to go through the formalities with Bai Ruozhu and gave Bai Ruozhu the deed of sale of Lamei.

On the way back, Bai Ruozhu asked Lamei to get into the carriage, Lamei hesitated, it seemed that the rule she knew was that people could not take the carriage, Bai Ruozhu was helpless, and said: "You have to serve me in the car, what is your use below?"

Lamei then followed and got into the car.

"There are a lot of people in my family, but I don't need you to serve them one by one, and they are not used to being served, so you go back and learn to spin yarn, just help me spin yarn every day." In addition, I have a cousin who is a poor person, and now she has a brain problem and needs someone to take care of her on weekdays, and you will be responsible for taking care of her in the future. Bai Ruozhu talked to Lamei carefully.

"Just help her wash her face and hands in the morning and evening, watch her eat a little bit during meals, and don't frighten her. You don't have to be polite when you eat and drink every day, the meals at my house are full, and I will make you two sets of clothes every quarter, and there will be one or two silver per month, and the number of the table will increase in the future, what do you think?" Bai Ruozhu said again.

Lamei hurriedly shook her head, she felt that these were really nothing, spinning was too easy for her, much less than the work she had done at home before, and she was also in charge of her clothes, as well as moon silver, she wasn't dreaming, right?

Bai Ruozhu looked at her a little stupid, and couldn't help laughing, "You can save it when you take it, and it will be your own dowry in the future, by the way, I don't know how old you are." ”

Lamei gestured with her hand, she was only fifteen years old.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, if you want to say that there are still a few years to pro, you are not in a hurry.

"Open your mouth and I'll see if your condition can be cured. Bai Ruozhu said.

Lamei looked a little embarrassed, as if her mouth was particularly ashamed to see people, Bai Ruozhu didn't urge her, but said softly: "I'm studying medicine, maybe there is a way for you to speak again." ”

Lamei opened her mouth at this time, but unfortunately Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but shake her head when she saw it, this girl was really ruthless at the time, and it was really difficult to cure when she bit like this.

When Lamei saw her shaking her head, she knew that there was no hope, she looked depressed, Madame was right before, she shouldn't have given up so lightly at that time.

"Don't be upset, I'll find a way to cure you, even if you can't speak again, it's good to be able to make a faint sound. Bai Ruozhu said.

Soon they arrived at Bai's house, Bai Ruozhu brought Lamei into the door, and everyone in the family was curious, so they all came out to see the excitement. Lin Ping'er was afraid that she would not be able to control her subordinates without the majesty of her master, so she glared at them, meaning that they should not be so casual.

"Father, mother, this is the maid I bought, call her Lamei in the future, she is responsible for taking care of Ruolan and helping spin the thread, let's live in a room with Ruolan first." Bai Ruozhu said.

Lamei was a little nervous, and hurriedly blessed Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong, but she opened her mouth but only said twice.

"Lamei hurt her tongue and can't speak, so everyone will be more responsible in the future. Bai Ruozhu hurriedly explained.

Lamei smiled at Bai Ruozhu gratefully, and her wife didn't say that she bit her tongue and committed suicide, which saved her a lot of face.

Bai Ruozhu then introduced the family, Lamei saluted everyone respectfully, and then Bai Ruozhu led her to see Bai Ruolan, she took Bai Ruolan's hand and said, "Ruolan, will I let Lamei take care of you in the future?"

Bai Ruolan was still very sticky to Bai Ruozhu, and immediately grabbed her sleeve and shook her head vigorously, Lamei's nervous heart next to her was raised, for fear that the master's cousin would not like her, so she couldn't stay.

Bai Ruozhu touched Bai Ruolan's hair, helped her smooth out the messy hair, and said: "I have a lot of things to do, I can't accompany you every day, you have to be sensible when you grow up, okay? ”

Bai Ruolan thought about it and nodded a little reluctantly, she is really like a five or six-year-old child now, and even less than a five- or six-year-old child.

Lamei breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to help Bai Ruolan, but Bai Ruolan threw her away in horror and hid behind Bai Ruozhu.

"Don't touch her yet, take your time, she has to get used to it a little bit. Bai Ruozhu said.

Lamei nodded, indicating that she understood.

Immediately, Bai Ruozhu led Lamei to Aunt Lin's side and asked her to spin thread with Aunt Lin, because Lamei could spin thread and quickly got started.

Aunt Lin was greatly relieved to see someone helping to spin the thread, and said to Bai Ruozhu with a smile: "It's okay now, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to keep up with your progress." ”

"Aunt Lin, you should rest more in the future, don't be too busy spinning, let's buy another maid if you are too busy, we can't tire you out." Bai Ruozhu said to Aunt Lin with a smile.

"That's not good, you're good enough for us, and I'm not old enough to move, but I can't be a white eater. Aunt Lin struggled, looking like she couldn't do it if she didn't work.

Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to go with her, anyway, they just lit the oil lamp at night, and they were not allowed to work after dinner, so as not to hurt their eyes.

When Bai Ruozhu came out of Aunt Lin's room, Lin Ping'er pulled her aside and asked, "Why did you buy a dumb one, did you do it on purpose?"

Bai Ruozhu cried and laughed, she really encountered this incident, she felt that Lamei's situation was suitable for buying home. She whispered about Lamei, her mother was soft-hearted, and wiped her tears when she heard it, and said: "I'm sorry for this child, I'll go find her clothes and shoes, and see that her toes are exposed." ”
