"Xiao Tai, you have to keep your eyes peeled when buying someone, that little girl looks uneasy."
While they were talking, Ruan Haizhu took the initiative to talk to the herdsman, even if he was talking to a duck. Can also be very enthusiastic.
Su Tai glanced at it and said indifferently, "Auntie, that little girl was taken in by the escort agency. She has nothing to do with me. The people I bought are all there!"
Suni Zi looked in the direction of Su Tai's finger and found that more than thirty people were sitting on the roadside eating. Some people were trying to learn Langya Mandarin from Yu Mei. They did not talk to the strangers around them, and their heads were always on. Low.
This is the way to look presentable.
She breathed a sigh of relief and asked Su Tai about Ke Yunyun.
Su Tai said: "Yunyun was pregnant again last year. She should have given birth now. I will know when my cousin comes back and ask. By the way, there is one more thing. Zhu Yixuan is back from the border."
Su Nizi's smile faded a little, "Come back as soon as you come back. It doesn't matter to us ordinary people. I just treat him as a stranger."
Su Tai nodded, "Auntie, I'm just telling you about the situation outside. After my uncle sells the cattle and sheep, let them return as soon as possible. This year the county seat was moved. Shen Yi and Zhu Yixuan had a falling out. That man did things unscrupulously. I I'm afraid that something unexpected might happen and cause trouble for you."
Su Nizi nodded repeatedly, repeatedly telling Su Tai to be careful, and reluctantly watched the convoy and Ke Dasong leave.
With a large team of herdsmen on the road together, and the fact that the beasts on the ice sheet were not short of food at the moment, nothing without eyes would bump into them.
Out of friendship with fellow villagers, Yu Mei explained the dangers on the ice sheet to Ruan Fang and the others in detail.
Everyone was frightened.
Ruan Haizhu, who was not with them, had no idea about the dangers of the ice field. He kept sighing at the vastness and magnificence of the ice field, thinking about the cattle and sheep, and calculating how much money the herdsmen could earn by selling the cattle and sheep. The more itches the more I think about it.
It's a pity that she still owes money to the escort agency. She has to go to the escort agency to work to pay back the money, and she can't do other things.
But she wasn't in a hurry, since she was young and could afford to wait.
The more I thought about her, the happier I became. With beautiful fantasies in mind, the convoy left the ice field and arrived at the border of Langya Kingdom.
After resting for the night, the convoy speeded up and separated from the herdsmen.
In the evening, the escort team separated from Su Tai and others.
When Ruan Haizhu saw that all the familiar people were gone, she began to panic. She cried and fussed but refused to leave with the escort.
The escort leader cursed angrily, "Then pay back the money! Otherwise we will report him to the police!"
Ruan Haizhu has learned a lot of Langya Mandarin these days and can understand some of it, although he cannot fully understand the escort. But he knew it was not a good thing, so he could only cry and be dragged away by the escort team.
Ruan Fang was so frightened when she heard Ruan Haizhu's cry that she held her daughter tightly and did not dare to let go.
In this panic, the carriage entered Shenjiazhuang.
At this time, the village has already turned on the lights.
The warm candlelight shines through the lanterns, illuminating the dark village as bright as day.
Because the village is bright, there are still children running around late at night.
There are several chatty old people sitting at the entrance of the village.
Su Tai and Mrs. Xu got off the carriage to say hello to everyone.
When the old people saw that it was them, they all responded, talking and laughing, it was so lively. The serenity and joy on the old man's face was something Ruan Fang and his party had never seen before. Everyone forgot their fear for a moment and listened to their words curiously, and they could probably guess something.
Everyone followed Su Tai to the Su family yard. Shen Zhuang's family of three took their chosen people back, and the rest followed Yu Mei to the backyard of the workshop.
Chi Zhaodi and Chi Sanhua came to help.
I was surprised and sighed when I saw that there were some familiar faces among the servants I bought this time.
Chi Xiaoluo and Chi Sanhua, who have a good relationship with Ruan Fang, are still relatives of the same family.
Seeing that she was also selling herself, Chi Sanhua hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Why did you sell yourself with your child?"
Chi Xiaoluo felt sad and sobbed: " My husband died at the end of last year. My mother-in-law didn’t want us and lived with her other sons. I couldn’t afford to raise two children by myself. I heard that you also sold yourself to Sir, I just want to take a gamble and sell myself with my children, at least to give them a chance to survive."
Her two children are five and three years old, and her own health is not included. How wonderful. It was already difficult to support two children. After the man died, she struggled to live with the children for several months and almost couldn't survive.
If Su Tai hadn't gone over to buy someone, she would have wanted to take her child and die.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Since you are here, it means you have good fortune! Look at me. I used to take care of three children by myself. Life was much more difficult than yours. But it is different now. I will give Mrs. By working hard, I not only eat well and wear warm clothes, but also keep my children fat and healthy
Don't be afraid, my wife is a very good person, but there is only one thing: everyone should be down-to-earth, work diligently, be strict with your mouth, talk less and do more, and just have life in your eyes.
Now you go wash up with us first. The clothes you brought will most likely not be used. If you can't, just burn them. If you can't bear them, just keep them. We won't use them here. ”
Chi Sanhua explained the important things neatly.
After a while, Yu Xiaoyu and others came over to help.
Among those Ruan Fang Several of them knew Yu Xiaoyu, and they all whispered in amazement: "Xiaoyu, you have grown a lot taller and are more beautiful than before! ”
Yu Xiaoyu smiled politely and worked in an orderly manner, "Madam is kind and treats us very well. You guys should clean up well tonight. Go over and listen to Madam's instructions tomorrow morning, and then arrange work for you. There is one more thing. , Everyone should take the time to learn the words here.
If you can’t even speak clearly, you will definitely not be reused by the master.”
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
Looking at Yu Xiaoyu who behaves well and speaks and acts neatly, everyone is extremely envious.
Once upon a time, Yu Xiaoyu was just like them, but now they simply dare not recognize him.
That night, the cleaned Ruan Fang and his party were taken to the old house by Yu Mei for resettlement.
After running around for several days, even the adults couldn't stand it, let alone the children. With the reassurance given by Yu Xiaoyu and others, everyone rarely had a solid and peaceful sleep.
The next day, everyone was called up to listen to Su Tai's lecture.
After Su Tai learned about their situation one by one, she selected five of them who were relatively clever and handy to go to the bath soap making workshop. These people would be given to Shen Yuezhang from now on.
Since the eldest daughter has made arrangements, the younger daughter cannot be left behind. However, the younger daughter is still young, so don’t be anxious and can observe slowly.
In addition, the county house also has to arrange for two and a half-year-old boys to look after the yard, and two women to take care of the stove and clean the yard.
Although more than thirty people are a lot, such a distribution is only enough. (End of this chapter)
