Chapter 1267 Contract of Sale
Chu Lin did this very neatly. In just half a day, she placed a document and a bag of money in front of Xia Zihan.
There was a signature and a fingerprint at the bottom of the document. No need to guess, Xia Zihan knew that it must be Zhang Qiongrou's fingerprint, and the signature was also hers. The handwriting was a bit sloppy, and she probably signed it unwillingly.
The document stated that Zhang Qiongrou deliberately framed Bao Guanshi for stealing things because she did not want to give Bao Guanshi a year's salary.
When Mr. Guo first started working in a grain and oil store, he signed a contract with the store. The salary was five taels of silver a month, paid once a year.
The new year is coming soon, and according to the contract, Zhang Qiongrou will give Bao Guanshi sixty taels of silver.
Giving sixty taels of silver to someone at once would be like killing Zhang Qiongrou, and Zhang Qiongrou couldn't bear it.
She repeated her old tricks and framed Bao Guanshi for stealing.
There was a law in the Dasheng Dynasty that any clerk who stole something from his employer would be sent to the Yamen to be beaten and jailed, and in the worst case, he would be compensated and his wages would be withheld.
Therefore, Zhang Qiongrou took advantage of this and framed three stewards in three years, saving her two hundred taels of silver.
Bao Guanshi was the unlucky third person. Fortunately, he met Chu Lin. This time Chu Lin not only cleared his name, but also took back all the wages Zhang Qiongrou owed him.
The moment Guanshi Bao got the documents and money, a grown man knelt down on the ground in excitement and grievance. After kowtowing to thank Xia Zihan and Chu Lin, he covered his face and started to cry.
After crying, Guanshi Bao took out a fifty-tael silver note from his purse and handed it to Xia Zihan, saying, "Princess, from now on, you will be the benefactor of my family. However, can I beg you, Return the bond of sale of the slave and the slave’s wife to the slave, this is the ransom for both of us.”
Then, as if he was afraid that Xia Zihan would misunderstand something, he explained, "The slave's child is sick. In order to save the child, there is really no other way, so we and I sold ourselves to raise money. However, the princess , Don’t worry, even if there is no selling contract, we and I will work as cows and horses for you in this life, and we will never have any second thoughts. However, if we and I sell ourselves into slavery, the child..."
< br>
The child will also become a slave throughout his life.
Even the Bao family will become slaves for generations.
The ancestors of the Bao family were from a scholarly family, but their family fortunes fell into decline, and after going round and round, they finally ended up where they are now. But in the heart of Bao Guanshi, he still wanted to support the Bao family, even if it was not in his hands. In the hands of his son, or in the hands of his grandson... As long as there is hope, the Bao family will stand up one day.
But if the Bao family becomes slaves for generations, even this hope will be gone.
Therefore, even if he knew that it was wrong to beg his benefactor in this way, it could even be said to be burning bridges and being ungrateful, he still begged for help.
Xia Zihan looked at the banknote in the manager's hand and did not reach out to take it. Instead, he said, "Didn't you say that the child is seriously ill? This money will be reserved for the child's treatment. We will cure the child first. As for the The contract of sale between you two..."
She looked at Chu Lin and said, "Return the deed of betrayal to them."
Chu Lin never refuted Xia Zihan's orders, and happily handed over the deed of betrayal to Bao Guanshi, and said, "You're lucky, my master is the most kind-hearted."
"Thank you, Princess, thank you Miss Chu Lin." Manager Bao and Mrs. Bao were so moved that they kowtowed three times. Save people to the end, and send Buddha to the West.
Xia Zihan thought for a while and then said, "How is the child's condition? Can he move around? If he can move around, bring the child here tomorrow and I will take a look at him."
Since she wants this family to devote her life to her, she must show great sincerity and treat her sincerely. This is the strongest way to win people's hearts.
Sure enough, I am sure I was stunned for a moment, and then I burst into tears of excitement, "If you can move, I will send you here early tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Bao also kowtowed several times.
It can be seen that Mrs. Bao is a simple and honest person, and Mrs. Bao is well-spoken but has a pure nature. Otherwise, she would not be able to sacrifice her self-esteem and sell herself when her child is seriously ill, just to give her to her. Treat children.
After sending the Bao couple away, Chu Lin stayed and happily told her how she kidnapped Zhang Qiongrou.
"Hey, Master, you haven't seen her in a few years. If her maid hadn't identified her, I wouldn't have recognized her. She's so fat, she's almost like a pig."
"The body is so thick, the arms are so big, and the waist is not called a waist, it's just a bucket... It weighs two to three hundred kilograms, and it can't even walk. Master, you didn't see it. The fat between her eyes is almost gone. It’s only been a few years, but she has become like that. I heard that her husband hates her very much. He treats her like a punching bag and punches her twice. Not to mention touching her, he won’t enter her house all year round. Come inside.”
Chu Lin was dancing, jumping and gesticulating with her hands, with a look of disgust on her face.
"The slave girl just pulled out the dagger and even before it was put on her neck, she was so scared that she peed and almost killed the slave girl..." As she said that, Chu Lin also fanned her nose, wrinkled her nose, and looked like she was suffering. She looked helpless, "I haven't even done much questioning yet, but I just mentioned the word "guaranteed to be in charge," and she explained everything. Tell me, why are there people so afraid of death? Haha, I laughed to death."< br>
After laughing for a while, Chu Lin calmed down and asked, "Master, do you really want to use the Bao family to Chu Meng in the future?"
"Don't worry, even if there is no selling contract, the Bao family won't have any second thoughts in the future." Xia Zihan narrowed his eyes, very calm.
Chu Lin touched her chin and smiled, "I'm not worried that the people in the Bao family will have second thoughts. It's just that Manager Bao seems to be a shrewd person, and Chu Meng looks delicate and easy to bully. I'm just worried that Manager Bao will not be able to do it in the future." Be willing to acknowledge her as Lord.”
"Haha, isn't there still my princess here? Let the Bao family and his wife stay in the shop, and prepare a mother-in-law for Chu Meng's dowry."
When Xia Zihan returned the deed of betrayal to Bao Guanshi, he never thought of giving them to Chu Meng as companions. Without a deed of betrayal, how could they become companions? Only slaves with a deed of betrayal could become companions. There was no such thing as betrayal. If you have a contract, you are not a slave, you are a good citizen.
Good people are not allowed to be housemates.
Therefore, she planned to let the Bao family manage the fruit shop in the future, while Chu Meng...
It is enough to open two shops, one specializing in selling fruit wine and one specializing in selling fruits. The fruit wine shop is easy to manage. You just need to brew the fruit wine in advance and send it to the store to sell. From now on, Chu Meng will take care of the fruit wine shop.
As for fruits... fresh fruits have to be transported from Zhuangzi every day, and there are many things going on here... It seems inappropriate for Chu Meng, a married official wife, to be involved in this matter.
