After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Seeing Bai Qingyun's affirmative response, Bai's father continued to finalize the details of buying the house with Xie Li and the others. Knowing that the gambling house's debt was one hundred taels of silver, Bai's father considerately took out one hundred taels of silver and ten taels of silver to pay, and then went to the government office to handle the house deed, and the matter of the house was finally finalized.

The father and daughter had arrived early, and now it was just lunch time after leaving the government office. Xie Shuer stepped forward and said, "If you two don't mind, please come to my house for a simple meal!" Perhaps she realized that the word "home" was no longer appropriate, after all, the house had just belonged to the family in front of her, but for a moment Xie Shuer couldn't find a suitable word to replace it, and felt a little embarrassed.

Bai Qingyun saw this and then stepped forward and naturally took Xie Shuer's arm, saying: "If you don't mind, then thank you for your hard work, sister Xie!"

Xie Shuer was a little surprised by this intimate action, but after a moment she said, "You two know my family's difficulties and saved me and grandpa from danger. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are our benefactors. It's just a simple meal, it's not hard!"

Father Bai followed behind, watching Bai Qingyun's performance, feeling a little jealous. His daughter was usually lively, but today Bai Qingyun was a little too lively, calling her sister "older sister" and being a father was something he had never experienced before.

Normally, there are three brothers to keep him company at this time, but now in this county town, only Father Bai is feeling jealous.

But it was only for a moment, because Bai Qingyun had already walked far away with Xie Shuer to buy vegetables, and Bai's father could only follow Xie Li back and wait.

Xie Shuer was an efficient worker, and Father Bai had only sat for a short while before the food was served on the table. Although it was not very exquisite, it was prepared with great care and was very much to the taste of Father Bai and Bai Qingyun.

When everyone had almost finished eating, Bai Qingyun also spoke up, "Grandpa Xie and Sister Shu'er, there's no need to rush to move out. We're only here in the county to do some work, and we have to go back to Dayang Village as soon as we're done, so that our families won't worry if we're away for too long. You can stay a little longer and look after our home for us."

Xie Shuer was deeply moved. It was difficult for her to find a place to live in her current situation. Although she sold her house, she had to pay off her debts and use the money on hand to pay for her grandfather's medical treatment. It was not easy to support her life. The little girl in front of her kept chatting with her, which eased her embarrassment in front of her benefactor. She also took the initiative to ask her and her grandfather to stay for a few more days before moving. For Xie Shuer now, this was real help.

Bai Qingyun seemed to have his own considerations: "I wonder what plans Sister Shu'er and Grandpa Xie have for the future?"

"I just want to make a living on my own with grandpa. I don't want to be dragged down by my father. I really don't know what the specific arrangements are for the future." Seeing that Xie Shuer had made up her mind to stay away from that irresponsible father, Bai Qingyun told them his arrangements in detail.

"Thank you, Grandpa and Sister Shu'er, if you don't mind, I have a few recipes for food. I bought this house because it's not far from the downtown area, and there are many people coming and going. If it works out, it should be a good business. But my father and I don't come to the county town very often, and we also need someone to help take care of it. Sister Shu'er is smart, and I also want to hire Sister Shu'er to help. If Sister Shu'er has any other arrangements in the future, we can make plans!"

Bai Qingyun's words really shocked Xie Shuer. Is the girl in front of her really only seven years old? Hiring her to run the store, wouldn't the recipe be exposed in front of her? Facing someone she had only known for less than a day, she could be so confident in talking about her housekeeping skills to outsiders. What was even more puzzling was that Bai's father did not refute it. Xie Shuer naturally would not be narcissistic and think that she had already gained the trust of the person in front of her just after meeting Bai Qingyun.

If Bai Qingyun knew what Xie Shuer was thinking, Bai Qingyun would definitely tell Xie Shuer firmly, "Don't doubt it, I trust you." In his previous life, Bai Qingyun witnessed many weaknesses of human nature during the years of fleeing famine. Selling children and daughters was still a normal phenomenon at that time, and cannibalism was increasing day by day. It was even more dangerous for women on the road to escape famine. The few kindnesses Bai Qingyun encountered at that time were given by Xie Shuer.

At that time, Xie Shuer did not have her father by her side, only her seriously ill grandfather. Grandpa Xie's body had already been broken due to years of hunger. It was hard to imagine how Xie Shuer brought Grandpa Xie to this point.

Bai Qingyun was too weak to walk while fleeing from famine, and his brothers had to go into the city to beg in order to survive. Without any shelter, Bai Qingyun was soon spotted by those refugee bullies. Bai Qingyun had no hope of survival, and could only hope that his brothers could live well without his burden.

As the bully approached step by step, Bai Qingyun closed his eyes in despair. At this moment, Xie Shuer stepped forward and protected Bai Qingyun behind her. The two little girls could not beat the bully. Fortunately, Xie Shuer was smart and dragged Bai Qingyun to the soldiers guarding the city gate. The bully did not dare to cause trouble under the eyes of the soldiers and had to give up and return to the refugees to look for new targets.

Seeing that they were finally out of danger, Xie Shuer sat on the ground gasping for breath. Bai Qingyun looked at the person in front of him with his back to the light. His eyes, which were almost fainting from hunger, began to focus and he tried hard to see the person clearly.

Thinking back, Bai Qingyun blinked his sore eyes and sighed: Fortunately, I met you earlier in this life. In the last life, you saved me from the brink of death, so I should save you in this life.

"Sister Shu'er, don't worry. My father and I will stay in the county for a few more days. It won't be too late for you to think carefully and make a decision in the next few days."

Xie Shuer seemed to have been thinking for a long time when Bai Qingyun's thoughts were pulled back to the past. When Bai Qingyun finished speaking, Xie Shuer knelt in front of Bai's father and Bai Qingyun and said, "Thank you, my two benefactors. I am willing to continue to help you work here."

Before Xie Shu'er finished speaking, Bai Qingyun went to help Xie Shu'er up: "Sister Shu'er, if you have made up your mind, just say it. We are ordinary people, and we don't kneel down and kneel down."

"Don't worry, sister. Ordinary people don't have to kneel, but I want to sell myself to the Bai family. I'm sure you two have heard about my family's situation. If it's just me and grandpa, there's no need to worry too much. But if my father knows that I continue to work here, he will inevitably come to disturb me often. If it affects your business, I will really be ashamed to see you two again."

What Xie Shuer hasn't said is that instead of being sold to those unreliable families by that irresponsible father, it would be better to sell herself to the Bai family. At least the Bai family is a simple and honest family when it comes to buying a house or moving. By selling herself to the Bai family, in this world where filial piety is as important as the sky, she can not only have a reason to get rid of her father, but also repay her benefactor's kindness and secure a future for herself.
