And the girl in the courtyard was very frightened by yesterday's incident, even if she opened the door, it was not easy to entertain guests, Wu Qing simply closed the door, did not say anything else, just waited to hear what Lin Jiu's way to make a fortune was.

Ignoring her, Lin Jiu took care of himself and found two chairs, let Hongjiao sit beside him, and asked Wu Qing to summon all the girls in the courtyard to the lobby.

After a while, the girls were lazy and lazy, and came down from the upstairs with a sweet smirk, looking like they should have all put on makeup, and when they saw that there were only Lin Jiu and red makeup in the lobby, the girls all showed disappointed looks, and for the sake of Wu Qing's face, they didn't flick their sleeves back to the room, but just smiled and stood in front of Wu Qing with a wooden face.

When everyone was almost there, Lin Jiu cleared his throat and said, "Do you still remember me?" ”

When she opened her mouth to ask, the girls looked at her carefully, and after a while someone recognized her, and their faces were more grateful.

"The little woman Fu Xi thanked Miss Lin for her rescue yesterday, and if she can use me in the future, the little woman will repay her." This woman is one of the people who was blackmailed by the bandit yesterday, if it weren't for Lin Jiu appearing in time, the head of the bandit would definitely not end easily, and the two girls might not really lose their lives, anyway, in this world, no one will take the life of a prostitute seriously.

Fu Xi was dressed in white today, only wearing light makeup, and his whole temperament seemed dusty, if he hadn't seen it here, Lin Jiu would definitely think that this was a noble lady.

A little sorry in her heart, but she didn't show it, she nodded at Fu Xi, and her eyes swept to everyone again.

Seeing everyone's expressions, they should all think of her, Lin Jiu continued: "I just counted, there are a total of forty-nine girls here, of course, I can't know just by faces, whether you are willing to stay in this Yihong Courtyard and devote yourself to the dust, but I guess, most of you are reluctant, so now I want to give you a chance to stop serving men, are you willing to accept it." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Qing could still sit still, and was about to speak as soon as he got up, but it was Lin Jiu who stretched out his hand and pressed down on her, signaling her not to worry, and then turned his gaze to the girls and continued: "I only ask you, do you want this opportunity or not." ”

Hearing this, the red makeup that had been sitting next to Lin Jiu became excited, she encountered such a thing for the first time when she picked up customers, and her young age must have left a deep shadow.

Lin Jiu felt very sorry for this little girl, she raised her head and held the hand of the red makeup, and whispered a few words of reassurance, so that the little girl's mood calmed down a little.

In fact, the other girls are also pitiful, they either fled from other places and it was really difficult to continue to join the dust, or they were sold here by their parents and relatives, especially those who were still young, they were always unwilling.

However, Wu Qing's ruthless training when she first entered Yihong Courtyard left a deep impression on their hearts, which caused them to be shaken and no one answered for a while.

After a while, a clear and beautiful voice suddenly sounded in the lobby: "Miss Lin said easily, who doesn't want this opportunity?" But people like us, even if they are redeemed, they still have the name of prodigal on their bodies, how can they go out cleanly. ”

This girl's name is Ruan Meng, and it has been three years since she came to this Yihong Courtyard, although she has been trained by Wu Qing, but in the end she is stubborn in her bones, but there are a lot of men who like her temperament, and she directly pushes people into the top brand, so Wu Qing is too lazy to care about her.

Ruan Meng's words entered everyone's hearts, which made the atmosphere in the hall even more silent, Lin Jiu glanced around the faces of each girl, touched their minds, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was afraid that these people had been enslaved by the idea of being slaves, and they would no longer be able to stand up.

"Everyone is also born as a human being, no one is inferior to the other, whether you can go out clean and straighten your chest, only you can decide." Lin Jiu's voice was not loud when he said this, but it was calm and powerful, full of strength.

Hearing this, the hearts of the girls present were shocked, especially Ruan Meng.

She was originally the concubine of a large family in the state capital next door, although her status is not as good as that of her daughter-in-law, but she is also a delicate daughter, and later because of the battle in the house, she was sold here by the eldest lady, because she was too stubborn, because she was unwilling at first time, she also complained and resisted, but in the end she had to give in.

In the past three years, she has been shuttling between those lewd men every day, and she feels more and more that this life is boring, but if she goes like this, it is cheaper to cheapen the ladies and aunts who have worked hard to put her here, then she will live, even if she is covered in mud.

She persevered until now with this ruthlessness of not admitting her fate, and suddenly heard Lin Jiu's remarks, which caught her a little off guard, and suddenly felt that she seemed to have thought about it before, Ruan Meng stood up excitedly and walked directly in front of Lin Jiu.

"On your own." She questioned Lin Jiu, her voice was a little sharp due to excitement, "Do you know what it's like to live in this Yihong Courtyard, do you know what it's like to be pressed under you by a man with yellow teeth and fat all over your body, do you know what it's like to have dignity trampled under the feet of others, I don't know why you can say such things." ”

As he spoke, Ruan Meng's body trembled slightly, with a pair of beautiful eyes that were round, and there were a lot of reddish bloodshots crawling inside, looking a little terrifying and pitiful.

Lin Jiu didn't refute immediately, but patiently waited for her to calm down before speaking: "You are very right, I am indeed not qualified to say such a thing, but from my standpoint, I hope you can live a better life, and I am also willing to work hard for it, I really can't empathize with your experience here, but I can tell you about my previous experience." ”

Lin Jiu carefully told these girls about the previous marriage by Huang Erniu in Linjiazhuang, the threat of Ma Baoqi's Zeng family when he wanted to take her into a house, and when she was doing business, and even the episode when Wu Qing wanted to tie her up to Yihong Courtyard at that time.

When Wu Qing heard this, she was still a little blushing, she secretly stuck out her tongue, if she knew that Lin Jiu was so difficult to mess with, she would never have hit her with her thoughts.

Ignoring Wu Qing's uneasiness, Lin Jiu continued: "You must know that you are not the only ones in the world who are the most miserable, everyone has their own difficulties. ”

"In the events I just mentioned, if I am shaken and weak at any moment, then I may be Huang Erniu's wife now, or maybe I will be in Yihong Courtyard and go through all this pain with everyone, but I don't, I also hope that you can have more confidence in yourself, if you are willing to come out, I am also willing to pull you along."

Lin Jiu's heartfelt words finally moved the hearts of the girls here, as can be seen from the way they either twisted their handkerchiefs or fiddled with their hair.

Knowing that they were still hesitating, Lin Jiu took a step forward and grabbed Ruan Meng's hand who came over just now, with a smile on her lips to show her sincerity, she asked softly, "Are you willing?" ”

Ruan Meng looked at Lin Jiu with red eyes, and after a long while, he responded: "I am willing." ”

With her leading, the girls present also agreed, and Wu Qing could only sigh helplessly when she saw it: "It's only been half a day's work, and I've opened Yihong Courtyard for half my life, and all of them have turned against you." ”

Lin Jiu smiled and didn't answer, the stone blocked in his heart loosened a little, and this first level was finally passed.

Now that they have gained the trust of the girls, the next step is to think about how to put this plan into practice, in this battle that Lin Jiu described as the girls fighting for themselves, Lin Jiu hopes that everyone can put in a little effort of their own for this.

So she asked everyone to go back and think about it overnight, and when she came back tomorrow, everyone would discuss together how to develop Yihongyuan in the future.

After dismissing the girls, Wu Qing made a pot of tea for Lin Jiu, and asked uncertainly: "Do you seriously want to do this?" ”

Lin Jiu burst out laughing: "Speaking of which, you and I have known each other for more than a year, don't you know what kind of person I am, since it is something I decided, I won't change it, but whether this matter can be done or not, I am not sure, for the sake of insurance, you should sell this Yihong Courtyard to me first." ”
