Domineering space queen

Chapter 16
"Little Miss!" Just as she was speaking, an old man greeted her behind her.

Shutong turned around and saw that it was old man Li who sold bamboo baskets in the town, and he was standing on the side of the road panting with a big bamboo basket on his back.

"Old man, you are here!"

Old man Li rubbed his hands cautiously, "Miss, I heard that you are going to build a house, so let me see if I can help you. By the way, these are the meat buns you asked for, and they are still hot!"

Carefully put down the big bamboo basket, lifted the white cloth on it, revealing the steaming meat buns.

"Oh, Xiaoyue, why did you buy so many meat buns?" Fat Aunt stepped forward to look, her eyes were straightened.

Good guy, there are forty or fifty fist-sized white buns in the bamboo basket!

Their family lives relatively well in the village, and it is impossible to buy so many meat buns all at once.

This is a hundred coins!
"My child, you will live alone in the future, and you will have a lot of places to spend money. How can you waste it recklessly? This old man must have lied to you, let him go quickly." Fat aunt was also kind.

The old man Li blushed so anxiously, he stammered and explained, "No! No, I, this, the young lady has already given the money."

Trembling, he took out a purse from his pocket, "There are more than four taels left here, young lady, put it away."

Aunt Fat was speechless, how much money does Xiaoyue have?

The eyes rolled, and the smile became brighter in an instant, "Xiaoyue! If you have money, you should save it. You have to learn to live by yourself."

Regardless of whether she was sincere or not, Shutong would also smile and greet them.

"Auntie, and uncle, come over and eat together! The meat buns here are delicious."

"Meat buns? Are these all meat?"

Aunt Fat was overjoyed, but her elder brother Wang Dazhu felt a little embarrassed.

The two houses built by the little girl didn't even cost ten silver, and I already took advantage of it, so why would I have the nerve to eat her meat buns.

"No, no, niece, uncle, I will buy materials for you now to build a house." Wang Dazhu decided to get her some good materials to make the house stronger.

The fat aunt has already grabbed two big meat buns and stuffed them into her elder brother's hands, "Brother, don't be polite to Xiaoyue, you bought so many big meat buns, it will be ruined if you don't eat them in this hot weather."

Shutong thought to himself how could it be ruined, he could eat about the same amount in one meal, but it is better not to eat too much in front of everyone!So as not to frighten others.

"Uncle Wang, Auntie is right. Don't be polite, everyone. Help me eat together. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come and eat together." Shutong warmly greeted everyone.

Old man Li hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no need, young lady, I won't eat these because you bought them. You see, I'm here to help you build a house. If you need me to run errands, just tell me."

Shutong happily ate meat buns, took the time to say: "I don't know, leave it to Uncle Wang, you see what he wants you to do, you can do it!"

Throwing the purse into Old Man Li's arms again, "This is your errand fee, you can keep it!"

When the fat aunt heard this, she jumped up with her eyes wide open, and she didn't even bother to eat the delicious meat buns.

"Xiaoyue, you are too generous, aren't you? That's not a few big money, it's more than four taels of silver."

Old man Li also wanted to send the purse back in a panic, "I can't take it, it's too much."

Shutong directly stuffed the purse into his arms, "I heard that your son is seriously ill. You can take the money back to see a doctor for him, and don't sell your little daughter."

Old man Li burst into tears, and nodded desperately, "Little sister, you are a kind person, how can I be willing to sell my daughter? If there is another way, I will not go this way. With this money, I will definitely take care of the child." Raise."

"Oh, you old man, you came here to lie to our family, Xiaoyue."

The fat aunt didn't eat the steamed stuffed buns anymore, she pinched her waist and wished she could rush up and snatch the money back from old man Li's arms.

Mr. Li shook his head desperately with a headache and crying, "I didn't lie to you, the son at home is really seriously ill. Big sister, don't worry, I won't take the money for nothing, I will definitely help the young lady with work."

"Hmph, what kind of work can you do when you're old? Who cares?" The fat aunt suddenly rolled her eyes while talking.

He smiled again: "By the way, don't you have a little girl in your family? In this way, if you send the little girl to serve our Xiaoyue, it will be considered that Xiaoyue bought your girl."

Old man Li thought that this was also a solution, so he nodded in agreement.

"As long as the young lady doesn't dislike it, the old man is willing to serve the whole family as cattle and horses!"

"Hey, don't don't! I don't want someone to serve me. I'm used to living alone, and I don't like being around people. You must not send your daughter here." Shu Tong immediately objected.

Although he has traveled to ancient times, Shutong's thoughts are still modern people, and he is not used to being served by people around him.

Besides, I have a portable space, wouldn't it be bad if someone around me waited on me and leaked this secret?
Old man Li grimaced, "Miss, you are so kind to me! The old man can't repay me. Although my girl is clumsy, she can also mend and wash. And she is very obedient. You can do it, Miss. It's okay to accept her."

Shutong still waved his hand, "No! I really don't need it!"

But the fat aunt came over and said mysteriously in her ear: "Xiaoyue! Auntie knows that you really want to help this old man, but you give so much money all at once, who knows if he is a good guy or a bad guy! You should Keep her girl by your side, as a hostage."

Shutong smiled bitterly, "Auntie! I really don't need it. You also know that I live alone now, so I don't need someone to serve me!"

The fat aunt's eyes rolled straight, and she said sincerely: "Xiaoyue, auntie is also doing it for your own good. Now that your family is dead, you are the only one left. You can't do without anyone around you. You saw your grandfather and queen just now. What kind of face is a grandma? Knowing that you have some money in your hand, can they let you go? Keeping someone by your side is considered to take care of you!"

Old man Li also nodded again and again, "Miss! Old man, I am sincere, and I will bring the girl when I turn back!"

Shutong is also speechless, she knows that in ancient times, to be a maid was to sign a contract of sale, without human rights, the master can beat and scold at will!
Is this old man confused? He doesn't want to accept it, but he is still rushing to push his daughter into the fire pit. Isn't that his own daughter?
"Okay! You keep the money first, and send the girl here, and we will believe that you are not cheating!" The fat aunt pinched her waist and made a decision directly!

Old man Li actually agreed, and readily gave the money.

Shutong rolled her eyes secretly, "I won't accept the money, let's treat your son first, let's talk about the rest later!"

The fat aunt still wanted to talk, but Shutong directly stuffed a big bun into her mouth, "Auntie! Eat more!"

In the end, old man Li held his purse, kowtowed to Shutong in gratitude, and hurried back to town.

Seeing that Shutong was so generous, the fat aunt gave him more than four liang of silver at once, and even the meat buns were no longer delicious.

He whispered a lot of things in her ears, every word was for her own good, so that she would not be deceived by others.

Shutong is not a real little girl either, she doesn't know that Fat Aunt is greedy for money.

Hearing what she meant, she wished that Shutong would hand over all the money on her body to the fat aunt to keep it, so as to save it and be cheated later.

Shutong only cared about eating steamed stuffed buns, her ears were popping up, Fat Auntie was so focused on money that she didn't care about her big appetite.
