The beggar’s eyes lit up when he saw the silver. He could buy so many steamed buns with it. Who would still want the two steamed buns in the kid’s hands?

The few of them immediately thanked him, let go of the child, and left.

Su Anan was leaning against the window, and the corner of the curtain was lifted up slighly. However, the wind blew the curtain up and her face was revealed.

The child who was munching on his bun was instantly stunned.

He had never seen such a celestial being in his life.

More importantly, this heavenly immortal even smiled at him and asked, “What’s your name?”

He helplessly swallowed the steamed bun and stammered, “L-Li San.”

So, his name was Li San.

He was still the same as he was in her previous life. He was as thin as a bamboo pole and looked like he would fall if the slightest wind blew. His clothes were ragged and his hair was scaly. Only his eyes were the same as in her previous life.

He was bright and full of energy, clear and transparent. No matter what he experienced, he seemed to be full of hope for life.

When she had first fallen into poverty, she had not been able to get anything. Just when she was about to starve to death, it was this man who had given her half of his black steamed bun.

He had even said in disdain, “You won’t be able to get food if you beg like this. You have to find another place. There are many gangs here, even if you get something, you definitely won’t be able to keep it.”

She thanked him and never forgot this kind young man.

She had thought that the next time she got something, she would give him some. However, there was never a next time.

There were deaths in the slums, fights, and snatching of food, but no one from the government cared. A straw mat swept away his figure, leaving only a pool of blood.

Even though she died soon after, she could not forget that kind face and those clear eyes.

When she passed by the slums earlier, she subconsciously searched for him. She recalled that he had once said that he was not begging in the slums earlier on. She was thinking of looking for an opportunity to go out and look for him, but she did not expect to meet him so coincidentally.

She smiled, her expression as gentle as water. “Do you still have a family?”

Li San shook his head in a daze.

Su Anan paused and turned to Moonfall. She asked politely, “Moonfall, my yard is big, but I don’t have many servants. This man is really pitiful. I wonder if I can buy him back and make him a rough manservant?”

Moonfall was surprised that the young mistress would ask a maidservant about this. She replied respectfully, “You can make the decision, Young Mistress. Yue Luo is just a servant. You don’t need to ask for my opinion.”

Although she was a servant, she had the right to speak in Shen villa.

Su Anan could tell that Shen Juncheng trusted Yue Luo and Shuang Man. They were in charge of all the trivial matters in the villa.

She had just arrived and was not well-liked by Shen Juncheng, so it was better to be careful.

Since Moonfall wanted her to make her own decision, she turned to Li San and said, “Li San, my courtyard is still lacking an odd-job worker. Would you be willing to follow me back to the manor?”

Li San’s eyes widened. Was the fairy going to buy him?

He got so excited, he began to stammer, “D-do you promise to give me food to eat?”

Su Anan smiled. “Food, accommodation, and monthly salary.”

Li San immediately replied, “I’m willing! I’m very willing!”

Moonfall looked up and saw Li San’s appearance, as well as the pity in the Young Mistress’ eyes. She sighed in her heart. The young mistress was too kind. She had never seen pain and suffering. There were many beggars like this. How many would the Young Mistress buy?

Beggars were mostly bandits and were very lazy. Otherwise, why would people with hands and legs become beggars?

Besides, beggars were not trained by human traffickers. He was afraid that he would not be good at being a slave. So, after some hesitation, Moonfall tactfully advised her. If Madam really felt sorry for him, she could just give him some money.
