"You old hag, dared to steal my buns again, are you looking for a beating?"
"This woman has been stealing on this street for quite a while, no matter how much we beat her, she won’t leave. Damn it! Even reporting to the authorities doesn’t work, she’s let out and still steals!"
"Really annoying! Just beat her to death!"
"..."
A few vendors surrounded a dirty heap of flesh, kicking and punching it. Finally, one of them gave a strong kick, sending her flying into Yun Niang’s newly opened shop.
Luckily, the shop had just opened, with few custors and goods placed inside, so nothing was damaged.
The vendors kicked the heap into the store but didn’t follow her in for more beating, after all, this was soone else’s territory, entering further would be crossing the line.
When you’re out in the world doing business, you need to have this kind of awareness, or you might not even know how you died.
"Lady Yue, this person..."
Yun Niang was startled to see a heap of flesh suddenly roll in, then turned to Long Yue for help with pleading eyes.
Long Yue understood her look.
That’s a pitiful person, should we help her?
Yun Niang had been through hardships herself, so she empathized most with people from the lower rung of society, inevitably sentintal.
Long Yue, on the other hand, was more reserved, though sympathetic, she didn’t shed tears. The key was, she noticed the flesh ball’s fat physique.
This... what luck!
"Alright, stop hitting her, she looks pitiful too. How much did she owe you for the at buns? I’ll pay."
Long Yue slowly walked to the doorway, smiling.
"Young lady, don’t be fooled by her pitiful appearance, she’s a rascal. She begged here before, and we gave her food, but she wasn’t satisfied. She ate three buns and wanted more, when not given, she stole! Tell , is that a person? More like a thankless wretch!"
"Yes, she’s eaten herself into a pig, keeps eating nonstop. Damn, I think even her family can’t afford to keep her, so threw her out!"
"..."
The vendors cursed and complained, filled with resentnt. Long Yue just smiled, handing over dozens of Copper Coins to the vendors.
After taking the Copper Coins, the vendors kindly advised Long Yue before leaving.
Once they left, peace returned. Yang Zhuoya had just changed her clothes and ca out, gasping at the sight of the heap of flesh.
"Sister Yue, this... what happened to her?"
Filthy all over, hair disheveled, clothes torn in places, shoes worn out front and back, worse than a beggar.
Why was there suddenly such a person in the shop?
Yang Zhuoya, being inside, only heard so noise outside, not knowing what transpired. Seeing the flesh ball, she was a bit frightened and leaned towards Yun Niang.
"Don’t be afraid, she’s just a pitiful person!"
Yun Niang’s shop was here, so naturally, she was aware of such a person. Occasionally, she had given her so food these days, but she seed to never be full.
Long Yue approached, squatting down.
"Boo hoo, boo hoo..."
The flesh ball retreated a bit, trembling all over.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person, bad people wouldn’t have helped chase away those who hit you, right?"
The flesh ball gradually stopped trembling and slowly raised her head.
A face full of dirt, round and a bit fierce-looking, but with bright eyes, not at all murky.
Long Yue: "What’s your na?"
She shook her head, then nodded, "Father and mother called Pang Ya."
Long Yue felt slightly relieved, she wasn’t foolish.
"Where are your parents?"
"Father and mother... they thought I eat too much, would make them poor, so... they sold . Sold to a household as a maid, but they also disliked that I ate too much, so they kicked out."
Uh... how awkward.
Long Yue twitched her mouth a bit, forced herself to ask, "Then how much do you eat in a al?"
Pang Ya cautiously extended five fingers.
"Five bowls of rice?"
Pang Ya shook her head, "Two bowls of rice are enough for , but... I need to eat five bowls of at, otherwise... I have no strength."
Long Yue, "..."
Alright, you really do eat well.
Eating five bowls of rice, an ordinary wealthy family could still afford, but eating five bowls of at... these days, at’s expensive, who can afford that?
But a noble family can afford.
In those households, so als cost several taels of Silver, enough to buy dozens of bowls of at. Yet, as fat as Pang Ya was, being an eyesore, even noble families wouldn’t want her.
"Hmm, I do have plenty of at here, are you willing to follow ? Help with things, and I’ll give you at to eat!"
"Is... is that possible?" Pang Ya looked up at Long Yue with confusion, a bit frightened, "I... they all call a thief..."
"You stole because you were too hungry, but you didn’t rob, did you?"
Stealing and robbing are different in nature.
Stealing is sneaky, indicating a bit of fear and reverence in the heart, but robbing, that’s lawlessness.
Long Yue also judged she wasn’t bad by nature because she stole without robbing.
"I... Can I really follow you?"
"Yes! I happen to need a maid to attend , can you do it?"
"I can, I can, I definitely can!"
Pang Ya nodded vigorously, afraid that if she were slow, she’d be rejected.
"Alright, from now on, you won’t be called Pang Ya. Since you’re with , it’s a new life, so... let’s call you... hmm, Huanhuan!"
Plump and delicate!
Long Yue chose this aning, Pang Ya didn’t know, but she knew the na was better than hers.
"Huanhuan, hehe, Huanhuan, I’ll be called Huanhuan from now on!"
Behind them, Yun Niang and Yang Zhuoya were thunderstruck, crisp and tender, such a fatty, called Huanhuan... Little Yue’er, is this really okay?
Long Yue didn’t care about their shocking looks. Once decided, she wouldn’t change.
After bringing Huanhuan back, Long Yue had soone thoroughly clean her. She was too dirty for her liking, and Huanhuan was compliant, knowing she was filthy, keeping a distance of about ten feet from Long Yue all the way.
Long Yue looked back at Huanhuan being led into the bathhouse, thinking this person could be taught.
Knowing when to advance or retreat, good!
In the bathhouse, it took a full half hour of washing before Huanhuan changed clothes and ca out.
Cleaned up, she wore a light blue coarse cloth garnt. Though her skin was a bit dark and cracked, with a period of care, she’d turn into a plump, chubby person.
"Not bad! From now on, you’ll serve by my side. When going out... you’ll follow too!"
Going out with a burly female warrior, what a striking scene?
Long Yue imagined the sight, those looking for trouble or picking fights, seeing this sized maid, wouldn’t need her to intervene, they’d scream and scatter, that feeling, really delightful.
Hahaha!
"Hungry?"
Long Yue asked kindly.
"Hmm, a bit."
"Xiao Liu, go prepare a table of dishes, with five bowls of at, two bowls of rice, two bowls of vegetables, go!"
Just eating at’s not good, so add so vegetables!
"At your service!"
Xiao Liu, sharp as ever, showed no unusual expression, heading straight to the back.
