Chapter Seventy-Three, the heart is big
During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and the weather cools down, so everyone pay attention to adding clothes!
………………
It was a fuss until midnight.
Widow Zheng really has no money, and wants to use the people in the village to drive Ji Ye away and make a profit. Ji Ye is not a good stubble who is willing to suffer, thinking that in the end, the people in the village are annoyed and leave, and they resist leaving. In short, each has a ghost, and the two of them are stunned that they don't hurt anything.
However, there are always times when people are tired, noisy and laborious, and the two of them are all spread on the ground at the moment, and the matter is deadlocked.
Wu Jiawa sent Li Yin back to comfort Grandpa Li a few words, and went to Cheng's house to explain Li Yin's injuries, and finally came back to find that the two were still sitting paralyzed in the courtyard, and then walked to the village chief.
"So be it! Just now I invited the young master of the martial arts family, and his family was originally going to buy some people. It's all from one village, Zheng Sanya has begged me for several days, I didn't agree, I can't be good today, Zheng family's daughter-in-law, you say, what should I do? Since Wu Nuandong took out a thousand taels of silver tickets, the village chief has changed his words, even if the Wu family refuses to agree, the village chief does not dare to underestimate the Wu family. Young Master or something, it's not too much to say on this occasion. What's more, the code and regulations of the seller were told to him by the third young master of the martial arts family, this is really a literate and hyphenated reader, and he is much more capable than him, a village chief who knows nothing about it.
"Inferior? How much? Widow Zheng's eyes lit up, and suddenly her mind was like a lantern, and a lot of ideas popped up. The first thing I think about is to pit the martial artist, and the second thing I think about is that after the girl enters the door, she can continue to pit a few strokes, and she will not worry about life in the future.
Looking at Widow Zheng's greedy face, the brothers and sisters of the martial family glanced at each other, and they already knew it, and the old village chief was a human spirit.
"A maid is five taels."
"A five-tael? Two taels ......" she rolled her eyes, "Hehe, there are four of my family!" "If you sell the second child, it will be the best of both worlds.
"All four of your family are going to sell the deed of death?" The village chief's half-drooping eyelids teased, "Don't be stupid, don't be too small." The daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, don't think that everyone is a fool, people buy subordinates, not ancestors! ”
Originally, Ji Ye didn't want to speak, but he also understood that Widow Zheng had no money to pay him back, but now it was different, he leaned over and whispered: "This death deed is not this price." ”
Widow Zheng was about to be anxious at that time, but after thinking about it, she held back, and swept towards the Wujia baby with her eyes like an arrow, and her sharp voice pulled a long voice, "You little babies are really bullying!" I want to buy my girl for five taels of silver, phew! ”
The village chief has lived for so long, and he really has never seen such a person who can't figure it out, his eyes were glaring, and he reprimanded: "The young master of the martial arts family only bought the people of the same village for the sake of my face, if you don't know what to do like this, then you won't buy it!" ”
Now Widow Zheng and Ji Ye were wilted, and Widow Zheng hurriedly flattered and said: "Then I also need more silver, it is a death deed after all, I heard that if it is signed, this girl will not belong to my family." Then it's better to marry a hundred miles away! ”
The corners of the village's mouths twitched, and in Widow Zheng's heart, marrying a girl and selling a girl are the same thing.
"Nonsense! Can a death deed be compared to a marriage? The old village chief shouted angrily, "The death deed was sold to the master's family, and the owner of the life and death marriage in the future has the final say, and it has nothing to do with the Zheng family." ”
"So what's wrong with me asking for more silver!" Widow Zheng took it for granted, which was really speechless. The old village chief just mentioned her, but anyone who felt a little distressed would hesitate, who would have thought that Widow Zheng was so maverick, and she was also the only one in the village, far worse than that Qiaozhi Niang at this point, people who are not their own daughters can hurt like eyeballs, she has many babies here, and they are worthless.
"How much do you want?" Wu Xingzhou took out the abacus and dialed it, "Your Zheng Sanya is not in good health, and you have to spend money to recuperate when you arrive at my house, and now you are still young, you can't eat less at every meal and you can't do heavy work, you can't eat and live and wear, why don't you want a dozen or twenty taels in a year." She's only ** years old, right? If you raise it for five or six years, it will cost more than 100 taels, which is really not cost-effective! ”
Wu Nuandong looked at Wu Xingzhou's crackling dial, the pity on his little face was real, and he knew that he was not scaring Widow Zheng, but really felt that it was not worth it!
Sure enough, "Nuan Nuan is good, or we won't buy it, my brother will make you a cow and a horse, okay?" ”
All......
Widow Zheng's face is very ugly, five taels of silver won't be in the soup!
"Eight taels, eight taels for a maid, or I won't sell it!" Widow Zheng stalked her neck, obviously making a final struggle.
None of the people in the village have a good face, in front of the blowing team walking the streets and alleys, their faces in Gaomen Village are scattered today, and this matter is spread to the surrounding villages, and even those who have babies will be disgusted and slapped in the face.
Suddenly, a slight cry came, and Zheng Sanya walked in from behind the crowd.
"Mother, do you really want to sell me?" As soon as a question came out, Widow Zheng shouted angrily: "You dead girl, where are you fooling around, don't come here quickly!" ”
As he spoke, he forcibly pulled Zheng Sanya to Wu Xingzhou, and pinched Zheng Sanya's little face roughly, "Look at my family, Sanya, eat less, work more, eight taels, can't be less." ”
Zheng Sanya's face turned pale, this matter of selling women was really unacceptable, and she was depressed for a long time, and she forgot what she wanted to say before.
At this time, Zheng Daya, who had been lying on the ground, got up and knelt down and crawled to Wu Nuandong's feet, her voice was cold and hoarse, "Miss Wu, please buy me and the third sister, I and the third sister voluntarily sold the deed of death, and the Zheng family has nothing to do with it!" After speaking, he kowtowed to the old village chief again, "Ask Grandpa Li to testify for us, and ask uncles and aunts to testify for us!" I Zheng Daya broke off relations with the Zheng family, and voluntarily sold the death deed to the Wu family as a slave. ”
Zheng Sanya saw her sister kowtowing, and she also knelt on the ground, her face was red from crying, and she stumbled with her eldest sister to finish speaking.
Widow Zheng looked at the resolute appearance of these two girls, and thought about how wrong she wanted to be when the money was in her hands, how to teach these two stinky girls who had forgotten their mothers a lesson, especially to tell them to take some delicious food and drink from the martial arts family from time to time to honor her.
The village chief took out the deed of sale prepared earlier in triplicate, and because Zheng Sanya had already signed and signed the pledge, he sent Zheng Widow.
Widow Zheng took it and pretended to look at it twice, but was snatched by Zheng Daya on the side, biting her finger and firmly imprinting it with blood.
"Grab what!" Widow Zheng pushed Zheng Daya, and felt more and more that this girl had a big idea, so it was better to sell it early, so as not to go against her everywhere.
snatched back the contract, Widow Zheng actually held it and gave it to Ji Ye, and whispered, "Do you see what's wrong with this?" ”
Ji Ye was also amused by Widow Zheng's temperament, is this person stupid, the people in the same village don't believe it, but believe him, a foreigner who doesn't know the roots. casually glanced at it twice, and was immediately stunned by the words ten taels, "Ten taels? This death contract is not low! You have copied it, I heard that a young and strong slave is only nine or ten taels of silver, and some time ago there was a flood of victims, many of whom sold their sons and daughters or their whole families at a low price, and the price was very cheap!"
Ji Ye was born with a loud voice, he thought he had lowered his voice, but in fact, the villagers who were close to the two of them heard it.
Widow Zheng's face immediately turned dark, and she hurriedly bit her finger and pressed it, it was twenty taels! She was stupid to give them a chance to regret it!
When Widow Zheng pressed her handprint, Zheng Daya and Zheng Sanya were relieved.
Since their mother got involved in gambling, they have to worry about it day and night, lest she lose the whole family to the gambling table. Now that they are in the martial arts family, they can still receive monthly money, and the younger brother will no longer be without food and clothing. As for Siya...... Thinking that the fourth sister escaped from the house without even looking back, Zheng Daya's original idea of wanting to sell together died down, and she was always a little chilled.
Siya has a big heart, and all she can do is silently save some silver for her......
