Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Chapter 191 Drawing Lots

When the three brothers Damao entered Xiaocao'er's room, they saw Xiaocao'er holding a book and staring out the window in a daze.

She didn't even notice them approaching her. Normally, she would have known as soon as they entered the room, but now she didn't react even when they came so close to her.

"Sister." Damao tried to keep his voice as low as possible so as not to scare her.

Xiao Caoer heard someone calling her, she turned her head towards the direction of the voice, but her eyes were still empty. After a while, her eyes slowly focused.

"Brother, why are you all here?" Xiaocaoer came back to his senses and immediately smiled.

"Let me ask you what you think about the candidates." Damao found a chair and sat down.

"Didn't I just say that anyone can go? What's the matter? Can't you make a decision or do they not want to go with you?" Xiao Cao'er asked.

"Sister, are you still sad about what happened this morning? I think mother said that because she is anxious." Simao asked.

"What's there to be sad about this morning? Isn't that normal? It proves that mother cares about our family business. Maybe she can give us more and better suggestions in the future." Xiao Cao'er nodded as she spoke, as if she was very satisfied with what she said.

Sanmao: Sister, can you please not nod when you say this? You don't even believe it yourself, you are just lying to yourself. Alas, it's my brother who is useless. If he could make soap himself, or come back a few days earlier, this wouldn't have happened.

There was another moment of silence.

"If neither of you can settle down, and you'd have to be responsible for the people if you bring them out, why not just buy a few? That way, even if something happens, you don't have to worry about how to explain to their families." Xiao Caoer suggested.

"That won't work. I've already agreed with Qiangzi and the others that if I go to Beijing, I'll take them to see the world. Now that I'm really going, how can I not take them with me?" Simao disagreed.

"Why don't you go and ask whoever is willing to go with you, and then you can explain it to your parents." Xiao Cao'er didn't want to get involved in this matter.

"If that doesn't work, take them all to the capital for a tour and then let them come back. Brother Hua Ming and his men have a caravan heading from the prefectural city to the capital, right? Let them follow the caravan back."

Although I trained these people, I used my family's money to train them, so they cannot be considered my people.

At present, I don’t have any way to make money on my own. Everything in this house does not belong to me. I will train my own people when I have my own money.

At this moment, why do I have the urge to escape from this home, escape from this world, and go back to my previous life?

At this moment, the world feels very depressing, and it’s scary to have this thought.

"Sister, sister." Simao waved his hands in front of Xiaocaoer.

"What's wrong, little brother?"

"Why are you always distracted? Are you feeling unwell?" Simao asked.

"Wondering who you'd pick to go with you."

"Who do you think I should choose?" Simao repeated the question.

"Young man, I've given you several methods and you're still asking. How can you be a great scholar if you're so indecisive? If you really can't make up your mind, just draw lots. Write down all the names and the one you draw will go. Then ask them if they're willing. If they don't want to go, keep drawing lots until someone goes." Xiao Cao'er was annoyed. "If you ask this question again, I'll kick you all out."

I thought so in my heart, but there was no impatience on my face.

Sanmao noticed that something was not right with his sister, and quickly said to Simao, "Yes, sister is right, let's draw lots, that's the fairest way. Didn't you say they are all your good friends? Then whoever you draw will be the one, you don't have to force yourself to win."

"Okay, I'll go write my name now. What about my elder brother?" After worrying about himself, Simao still remembered to worry about his elder brother.

Several people also looked at Damao. Damao knew Simao's friends. Sanmao and his sister had originally had plans, but now this incident happened and they didn't know how they would arrange it, so they had to ask. So they asked Simao to write the list or go back to their study to write it, and didn't let him stay here too long and talk too much.

"Third brother, sister, weren't these people specially trained by you? It's not appropriate for them to follow us. I always feel that it's a bit of a waste."

Xiao Cao'er smiled and said, "How can it be a waste? Originally, I taught them some martial arts so that they can follow you when you become officials in the future. Now they are just coming to you in advance. It's not a waste, it's just right."

Sanmao lowered her head and said nothing.

"What about your third brother? Now you can only choose a few people. What about the rest? How will you deal with them?" After asking Xiaocaoer, he asked Sanmao.

"I have no objection. As for those who were not selected, there happens to be soap here. You can just arrange them to work there. If worst comes to worst, there is still the Maozhu fast food restaurant. You can let them help out in the shop. Don't worry." Sanmao comforted.

"Is that really the case? Why do I feel like this wasn't your original arrangement?" Damao said with some disbelief.

"Brother, this is definitely not the arrangement. We originally wanted to teach them more things so that they could stay by your side and help you when you become an official in the future. Now it's brought forward and many things haven't been taught yet. We have only taught them some skills. My third brother and I think it's a pity!" Xiao Cao'er said with a faint smile.

"Is that so?" Damao looked at Sanmao and asked.

"That must be the case, otherwise who would spend so much time teaching them. Okay, big brother, go and draw lots with me, and my sister and I will guess who you will draw." Sanmao pushed Damao out.

As soon as Da Mao left, San Mao asked anxiously: "Sister, what are we going to do with the remaining people? Are you really not going to take them to the capital? We have been planning for so long. Now that we tell them that they can't go, what should we do?"

"What should we do? Have you told them clearly that you will take them to the capital, or have you told them clearly what you will do in the future? If not, then follow the original plan and do what they should do if they have something to do, and do whatever they should do if they don't. Don't stop them if they have other ideas." Xiao Cao'er said.

"Is this okay?" Sanmao asked.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Otherwise, you can give each of them some silver as compensation and tell them clearly that this is the only way now. Any previous plans should be put on hold. Anyway, we haven't started anything yet. We've only taught them martial arts for two years. If they are willing to continue training, they can come. If they are not willing, don't force them. It depends on their personal wishes."

There is another thing.
