Grandfather and Grandson

"Grandma, although I want to buy a maid who can deliver babies, you're too old and not suitable," Xian He refused. He was buying a servant, not a grandmother.

If he bought the old woman, not only would she be unable to serve Yun Ling, but Yun Ling would have to serve her.

He didn't want to spend money to suffer.

The old granny pulled her granddaughter forward and said anxiously, "She's young, she's suitable. In the past few years when I was delivering babies, I often took her with me. She learned the skill long ago and even delivered a few babies under my guidance. Buy her, she's suitable."

After speaking, the old granny pushed the little girl towards Xian He.

"Grandma!" The little girl fearfully hid behind the old granny.

The old granny picked up her cane and pretended to hit her, saying with disappointment, "Go! Let the elder have a good look at you. Your father's life depends entirely on you!"

"Don't hit her, don't hit the child. Let's talk properly," Xian He quickly shielded the little girl.

He asked, completely confused, "What happened to your son? Why does he need you to sell yourselves to live? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

"His father was captured by Greedy Wolf's people. They want a thousand Copper Coins to ransom him. Besides buying us mother and daughter, you can't help us," the old granny shook her head and sighed. She didn't believe anyone would lend them money for no reason.

Greedy Wolf was a group of outlaws, gathering the most vicious bad guys on the Tianyun Plateau. Even Obsidian level tribal leaders couldn't do anything about them, let alone this Azure Obsidian young man in front of her.

In all her years, she didn't have many skills, but she was very good at judging people. Judging from the shape and luster of the young man's muscles, he was definitely an Azure Obsidian Martial Artist.

"Greedy Wolf?" Xian He's heart tightened. He hadn't expected the old woman's son to have provoked that terrifying organization. What bad luck.

Xian He withdrew from between the grandmother and granddaughter, scratching his head. "I'm sorry, Grandma, I can't help you."

He knew very well what he was capable of. He couldn't handle this matter.

Besides, his money didn't come from a gust of wind; he had risked getting beaten up for it.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. If anyone's to blame, it's my son's bad luck," the old granny sighed. The outcome was as she expected.

No one would spend money to buy an old and sick woman, nor would anyone risk their lives fighting Greedy Wolf for a few strangers.

The old granny took her granddaughter's hand, leaned on her cane, and walked unsteadily to the slave trader. She pleaded, "Boss, my granddaughter can deliver babies. Please take her. She'll definitely make money for you."

Slave traders were all black-hearted scoundrels. They wouldn't show mercy just because you were in trouble; instead, they would add insult to injury.

"Too skinny! I'll give you fifty Copper Coins at most." The slave trader pinched the little girl's cheek and narrowed his sly eyes.

"Fifty Copper Coins? Are you kidding me! I charge a hundred Copper Coins for delivering a baby, and you're only giving fifty? Are you trying to feed a beggar! No, add more! Cough cough..." The old granny coughed violently from anger.

Although she had prepared herself to be severely ripped off, she hadn't expected to be ripped off so badly.

Slave traders were indeed bastards to the core.

"Grandma!" The little girl cried out and quickly went forward to rub her grandmother's chest and pat her back.

Even though Grandma was selling her for money, she knew Grandma had no choice.

She had borrowed from all her relatives and friends and only managed to gather less than three hundred Copper Coins. To save her father, they were still short eight hundred Copper Coins.

The slave trader crossed his arms and said coldly, "Sell her if you want, or get lost. Don't waste my time. That kid over there, have you picked yet? I need to pack up and go home!"

"Picked!" Xian He chose two female slaves who were both poor in appearance and figure.

The slave trader left the grandmother and granddaughter and strolled towards Xian He's location.

The old granny, holding her granddaughter's hand, also followed.

"Picked? These two?" The slave trader pointed his whip at the two female slaves who were hugging Xian He's shoulders and asked.

Xian He nodded.

"Then what are you waiting for? Pay up!" The slave trader beckoned Xian He and rubbed his fingers together.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Xian He was about to untie his money bag, the old granny suddenly spoke.

"Young man, may I speak with you privately?"

Xian He was stunned, not knowing what the old granny was up to, but he put down his money bag and followed her to the other side of the road.

The slave trader narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the old granny with an unfriendly expression.

He thought to himself, "If you dare to ruin my business, I'll make you regret it!"

"Are you buying them as concubines or as servants?" the old granny asked in a low voice, leaning on her cane.

"Of course, I'm buying them as servants," Xian He said without hesitation. The two female slaves he chose had received a rating of four from the System, below average. They weren't good-looking, but they weren't ugly either.

They didn't meet the System's requirements, so he wouldn't get any rewards even if they had children.

Besides, one Yun Ling was already enough trouble for him; he didn't want to add any extra burden.
