Shen Zhuang urged: "Are five or six too many? Our family is in a different situation from Shen Yi's family. Can we afford to feed so many more people?"
Ms. Xu glared unhappily. He glanced at it and said, "Where are five or six too many? We have so much land now." , the family has to work very hard every year to finish it. Look, your body is almost exhausted. What's the use of making money and spending it?
I've thought about it, I'll see tomorrow! It depends on the situation. If there are men who can go to the ground, buy two and replace them. Let's do farm work for our family, and buy a woman to cook and clean the house, so that the daughter-in-law doesn't have to take care of the housework at the same time.
Also, Xiaomo bought it for Yue Zhang and the others. Those children look good to me, they are obedient, sensible and have eyes. , we can also buy a few, for people to use now. If the little girl is good, our grandson will like it and marry him in the future.
They can also help to work and make money, and they will not be idle. Anyway, we are not at a loss.”
Su Tai listened to Xu's plan and gave her a thumbs up, "The second aunt is indeed the second aunt. This is a good idea! However, most of the people Qiongzi is willing to sell her body to are orphans and widows. Usually few people will accept the old people. Buy it, the ones I will bring over tomorrow should be some orphans and women.
You. Let's open our eyes and see that as long as the person is good, it doesn't matter even if he brings a baby, he can still get the other person's gratitude if he buys it."
Hearing this, Shen Liang said to Shen Zhuang: "Dad, since my cousin-in-law. My mother and I have already made plans, so we just listen.”
On the other side.
When Yu Xinghai’s wife saw the one tael of silver, she couldn’t help but murmured to Yu Xinghai: “I’ve seen it all today. Yu Mei is wearing things that we don’t have here, and they are clean. The flowers are more beautiful than those in our village, and they don’t look like before at all.
Do you think selling yourself into slavery is so good? It made my heart beat! "
Yu Xinghai rolled his eyes angrily, "It's so good, why don't everyone rush to sell themselves? The reason why Yu Mei and the others live a good life is because they follow the right master. Not everyone has such good luck!
Besides, you see, she is living well now, but that may not be the case in the future. What will they do if something happens to the family? You only see the good stuff and don’t think about anything else! "
Yu Xinghai's wife curled her lips, "I don't know much, why are you trying to get angry with me? ”
Early the next morning.
The village chiefs of several nearby villages came with their people.
Almost every village has more than a dozen people, all of them women and children. The children are big and small. The oldest woman is about thirty-five years old, and the younger one is only eighteen or nineteen.
Obviously she is still the same age, but she has been worn away by the years.
Several village chiefs and villagers could not speak Langya Mandarin, so Yu Xinghai had to act as translator.
Under the introduction of Yu Xinghai, Su Tai and his party learned about the situation of these women and children.
Yesterday, Mrs. Xu was excited and looking forward to buying someone today.
At this moment, I was so sad that I almost shed tears. I wished I was the richest in the world and bought all these poor people together.
Su Tai had the experience last time, so she was calmer. She studied their eyes and reactions one by one, and selected more than thirty people from them.
The remaining people were given one tael of silver and asked the village chief to take them back.
One of the twelve or thirteen-year-old girls protested dissatisfied, "Why did you let me go back? She said she wanted to buy someone, why didn't she choose me?"
Yu Xinghai's face instantly darkened, and he looked coldly at the old village chief who had brought the little girl over, "Have you forgotten what I told you? Such a person has nothing to do with being honest!"
Old The village chief turned pale and kept bending down to apologize, "I'm sorry, she said she wanted to sell herself, and she said she would be obedient. She is the most beautiful girl in our village. I thought the noble man would like her, so I brought her along with me."
Yu Xinghai frowned, "Why don't we get her away quickly so as not to anger the noble man. , even the fishing boats in your village will be confiscated!" The old village chief was shocked and quickly knelt down to kowtow to Su Tai and beg.
Su Tai couldn’t understand a word, “Village Chief Yu, what is he doing?”
Yu Xinghai hurriedly went over to explain, "Mrs. Shen, he took it upon himself to bring the girl who didn't meet the requirements. He was afraid that you would be angry, so he begged you for mercy."
Su Tai waved her hand, "I'm not angry, just take her away." "
"Mrs. Shen is kind, I will tell you right away." Yu Xinghai winked at his wife and several women in the village.
Then he whispered a few words to the old village chief.
As if he had been granted amnesty, the old village chief got up from the ground and scolded the girl.
The little girl was very unconvinced and refused to leave. In the end, she was dragged away from the village by Yu Xinghai's wife and several others.
Listening to the girl’s angry shouts gradually faded away.
Yu Xinghai looked very ugly, and turned around to apologize to Su Tai, "Mrs. Shen, that child is probably too big-hearted. He didn't want to stay in the fishing village, so he used sweet words to coax the head of their village. As people get older, their brains get easier. Confused, please ask Mrs. Shen to see you "Forgive me."
Su Tai didn't take it seriously, "Let's do it. These people will stay in your village today, and we will leave early tomorrow morning."
Those who were kicked out of Xiaogang Village. Ruan Haizhu returned to the village holding back her anger.
Her parents did not expect that their daughter would come back again, with the smile on her face gone.
"Damn girl, didn't you say you sold yourself voluntarily? Why did you come back?" Ruan's mother saw that Ruan Haizhu's eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose, and she wanted to blow him out with a broom.
Ruan Haizhu was so angry that she cried, "Do you think I don't want to sell myself? They don't like me at all! You still talk about me!"
Ruan's father and Ruan's mother said in surprise He glanced at it and said angrily, "Why do they look down on you? You How can they be inferior to those widowed bastards? No, I have to ask the village chief, and I have to stuff them in for you!"
The Ruan family has four daughters, all of whom are good-looking. They have also developed a arrogant and arrogant temperament.
Ruan's father and Ruan's mother originally wanted to get a high bride price by marrying off their daughter, but they were poor and there were not many families willing to spend a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law.
The eldest daughter’s wedding gift was only 800 ren, and the second daughter’s was the same amount. When it came to the third daughter, she really couldn’t find anyone willing to spend 800 ren, so she finally got married with 660 ren.
Ruan Haizhu doesn't want to become as cheap as her sister. After all, she is the best-looking among the sisters.
But she also knew that in such a small place, no matter how good she looked, she would not be able to get ahead.
Yesterday, she heard that nobles from the Langya Kingdom were coming to buy someone. She immediately thought about it. After thinking about it with her parents, they also felt that it would be better for their daughter to sell herself.
After all, they can still get two taels of silver from selling their daughter's body, which is almost enough to pay the bride price for marrying their three daughters.
The couple had been waiting for the two taels of silver to come in since their daughter was taken away. However, they did not see the silver, but their daughter came back!
Ruan's mother came to the old village chief's house angrily, and started acting up as soon as she entered the door, "Village chief, it was you who said that the noble man wanted to buy someone else. My daughter worked so hard to go there, why should they say no? No! How can you be such a bully?" (End of Chapter)
