Chapter 187: Buying Slaves
Liu Ye was speechless when asked, at least the sisters of their family can really bear the burden of a family.
"But ...... "That's how everyone came here."
"If you know it's unfair, why don't you fight? I don't care what other people's homes do, but ours just can't.
If the fourth child has the ability in the future, my original intention as the second sister is to set up a ladder for him. But if he is the same as those people in the old house, I still don't recognize him as a younger brother! ”
It was the first time for Liu Ya to explain her thoughts to Liu Ye so bluntly, which made Liu Ye surprised again.
"Eldest sister, we are a family, is it possible to divide into three, six, nine and so on? In the future, we will all have our own small families, and it is best for brothers and sisters to help each other, but we must not be without principles and bottom lines. ”
Standing outside the gate, Liu Ya said: "Don't talk about the side, how many grievances did we suffer and how much suffering we suffered when we were girls when we were girls?" If the eldest sister becomes a biological child in the future, will she also let her children live the life we once lived? ”
Liu Ye subconsciously shook her head, even forgetting that she was shy, she would never let her children experience the pain she had experienced.
"Ya'er, if my mother has half of your temperament, maybe we can live better." The willow leaves are full of bitterness.
"It's hard to change my mother's temperament, but you still have time to correct it, eldest sister. What we have to do now is to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and only those who have confidence will not be crushed by life and can live the life they want. ”
Clenching his fists, Liu Ya puffed out his little face and said, "Come on, we will definitely be able to do it." ”
Liu Ye smiled, and then remembered what they were talking about, and suddenly his pretty face turned red, and he glared at Liu Ya and said, "How old are you, why do you say anything?" Come into the house, the food is getting cold. ”
In the reluctant farewell of his family, Liu Ya embarked on the road to the county seat.
There are not enough medicinal seeds that can be purchased at the pharmacy, and Liu Ya plans to go to the county seat to find it, and he also wants to use this opportunity to take out some of the harvested seeds in the space.
Of course, it is also necessary to meet with Qi Jianfeng by the way and convey Li Ying's words, Liu Ya thinks that she is a qualified matchmaker.
"I'm a layman when it comes to buying medicines, but I have an acquaintance who opens a medical clinic, and I'll ask my subordinates to ask when I go back, and it's not too late for you to see it again when you get the letter."
Master Chen is not stingy to help Liu Ya, especially when it comes to raising his hands.
"Then thank you Uncle Chen." Liu Ya thanked him with a smile, and asked casually: "Uncle Chen has been running a restaurant in the county for many years, so he didn't want to go to Fucheng or the south to develop?" ”
"The restaurant industry is not easy to do, not only because of the connections, but also because of the need to have enough capital and excellent recipes. The reputation of Sihai Restaurant in Honghu County is accumulated by the ancestors, and it is not easy to start over outside. ”
Master Chen sighed with regret, obviously he also had the idea of working hard outside in the past, but the reality often made people helpless.
Liu Ya nodded clearly, and temporarily stopped the idea of cooperating with Master Chen to go to Fucheng to start a business.
said that it was cooperation, Liu Ya could come up with ideas and even money, but he didn't have connections and manpower.
Liu Ya came alone, so he lived in Xiuzhuang, and also told the shopkeeper Xu that he wanted to buy two people, and he wanted to ask the shopkeeper Xu to give the palm.
The county town is bigger than the town, and there are more people, and the business model is somewhat similar to the town.
However, each man is responsible for a piece of business, unlike a man in the town who takes care of everything, so it seems more professional.
"Shopkeeper Xu hasn't been here for some days, I just have two embroidered ones, do you want to take a look?"
Ren Yanzi was very enthusiastic when he saw the shopkeeper Xu, and he was obviously a regular customer.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Ya learned that many of the embroidery girls in the embroidery village were bought from the tooth shop, most of them were implicated by the main family and distributed, and some of them had to sell themselves in the family.
Perhaps for these women who have a good hand in embroidery, being an embroiderer is the best destination.
"That's a sight, but I'll have to come with my little friend first. After her business is done, you will have a big customer in the future. Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile.
"Who is this young lady?" Qian Yanzi looked at the willow buds that Mo said and felt raw.
"My little friend's surname is Liu, and he has business dealings with our owner and Master Chen, and he also has a house in the county, but he doesn't live here for the time being."
Shopkeeper Xu left some bottom when he spoke, and then sat aside and let Liu Ya communicate with himself.
No matter what kind of business you do, you have your own rules, and the shopkeeper Xu can help with long-term eyes, but he can't participate too much, in case someone does something in the subordinates and gets into trouble when the time comes.
"It's best to have some strength, and you can do some kung fu. Mainly look at the yard and do some chores......"
Speaking of her request, Liu Ya didn't have any expectations in her heart.
After all, there are not many women who know kung fu, and their family is not suitable for buying men to be subordinates.
Of course, when you can buy a lot of people in the future, you don't have to worry too much.
"The girl is here today, and the person you said is really suitable. But this is a family, women and daughters can do some kung fu, in addition to a lame old man, there are two and a half children, a widow and daughter-in-law can't punch or kick, but the female celebrity and cooking are good hands. ”
Qian Yanzi said halfway through his words, and said embarrassedly: "It's really the girl's request, only someone in this family is suitable." But this family is all fierce, and they are unwilling not to be sold to one place. ”
As he spoke, Qian Yanzi looked at the shopkeeper Xu, as if he wanted to ask her to help say a good word.
But the shopkeeper Xu was drinking tea with a teacup, as if there was a flower on the teacup.
Liu Ya was able to accept such a large population, and it was easy to manage a large family in one place, so he asked, "What is the origin of this family?" Are there any relatives out there? ”
"The old man and the old man are both soldiers, this family used to be a military household, but I heard that their son was a deserter, so he was assigned to become an official slave by the government. It took a few turns, and then it landed on me. ”
Qian Yanzi didn't lie, but she didn't say the doorways in some industries, otherwise such a person would not go to a small place like Honghu County.
For the first time, Liu Ya knew that there were still military households, so she asked a few more questions.
It turns out that military households are some homeless people, and there are ancestors who have been assigned but can no longer be sinners in their descendants, because their status is lower than that of good people, so they will become military households.
When there is no war, the logistics are guaranteed, and the men are the first to go to the battlefield when there is a war, so there are many widows in the military household, and life is very hard.
"Then let's meet."
Liu Ya is disgusted by such a system, but there is nothing she can do.
However, the family is a fierce person, and there is a deserter's son, Liu Ya feels that there may be something else hidden in the matter.
It's just that although slavery is unfair, the biggest advantage is that once you buy this person, you can control their life and death, and the business is according to the mood of the master's family.
"You're not afraid that family will get you in trouble?" After Qian Yanzi left, Shopkeeper Xu asked with a smile.
"There are also women from military households in the embroidery girls in the embroidery village, right? Is Aunt Xu afraid? ”
Liu Ya asked rhetorically, her black and white eyes did not carry a trace of malice, but she found that the shopkeeper Xu's expression was slightly condensed.
