Chapter 170: Selling Yourself

It seems that what they want to do to make a living is no longer possible.

If you want to work, you have to sell yourself as a husband and wife.

Mo Chunyue is very smart, she already knows this, her eyes are a little red, she is very reluctant to sell herself, but now the family is in debt, He San is a bastard, no one dares to use her when she goes to the town to sell coolies, and her mother's family is a group of bloodsuckers, if she wants to live and make a fortune, she will wait to sell herself to work.

Fortunately, the deadline given by Gu Jinli was only ten years, and the husband and wife worked hard for ten years, and their lives were over.

After Mo Chunyue finished this breakfast, she was ready to sell herself as a slave.

Therefore, after Gu Jinli and the others finished breakfast, she took the initiative to call her and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, what you said that day, our husband and wife have already thought about it. We are willing to sell ourselves for ten years to work for your family. ”

Gu Jinli held a bowl of soy milk, drank it in small sips, glanced at Mo Chunyue, and said, "When did I say I wanted to buy you?" I thought to myself that I must be looking like a female bully in a TV series at the moment.

Mo Chunyue was shocked: "No, don't you buy it?" Didn't you tell the three lepers? ”

Gu Jinli said: "You ask He Sanzi, what did I tell him that day?" I said that if I want to work, my family will not ask a bastard to do the work. As for buying people, our family can go to Fucheng to buy, now Fucheng is full of disaster victims, one or two silver can buy a person, and those people have also taught the rules, knocked on the arrogant bones, and it is much better to buy it back than to buy you. ”

Gu Jinli's words completely blinded Mo Chunyue, originally she felt that she was very wronged by selling herself as a slave, but she thought that she wanted to sell her body and the Gu family didn't want it.

This, how can this be done?

Mo Chunyue was a little flustered, looked at He San's leprosy, and then looked at Gu Jinli, and finally had no choice, plopped, knelt in front of the third grandfather, and choked up: "Gu Sanpa, please do well, buy our husband and wife, we promise to work hard, never steal and play tricks, and we will not betray the master's family for money, please give us a way to live." ”

When He Sanzi saw Mo Chunyue kneeling down, he panicked, and he also knelt down, looked at the third grandfather and said, "The third grandfather of the Gu family, you can buy us, we can do the work." ”

Gu Jinli once told the family that He Sanzi stopped her from begging for a living, and after she failed, she proposed that the husband and wife sell themselves, so the family knew about it.

Originally, they thought that it was just Xiaoyu saying to scare He San Leper and make him stop pestering for a living, but they didn't think that He San Leper really brought Mo Chunyue to the door and begged to sell himself.

"This ......" The third grandfather is very embarrassed, he has been a mud leg all his life, where did he think about buying people? For him, buying people is a matter between the official and the landlord's family, and has nothing to do with them, the peasants.

Now that things are in front of him, he really doesn't know what to do?

Gu Jinli said to them: "Get up for me, is kneeling begging or persecuting?" ”

Kneeling and begging or something is no different from forcing someone.

He Sanzi knew Gu Jinli, this girl said everything, and when she heard this, she hurriedly dragged Mo Chunyue up.

Gu Jinli looked at them and asked, "What do you have that I can buy?" ”

These words stopped Mo Chunyue and He Sanzi, they really didn't have any ability to do it, and they were worth being bought by Gu Jinli.

Mo Chunyue racked her brains and said, "Our husband and wife can help you grind beans to make tofu, and we can also help you farm." ”

Gu Jinli smiled: "Grinding beans and grinding spices, we can ask honest people to do it, and we will plant it ourselves." ”

When Mo Chunyue and He Sanzi heard Gu Jinli's words, they choked together, this, this is to make up their minds not to buy their husband and wife?

Mo Chunyue thought that if they couldn't rely on the Gu family, the debt would not be repaid, and the life would not be able to go on, and then thinking of what happened to her from fleeing the famine to now, she was always sad and cried bitterly.

The third grandmother felt very sorry for Mo Chunyue, and when she saw her crying miserably, she couldn't help but comfort her: "You kid, don't cry first, you can find a job without selling yourself?" ”

What can you find to do?

Mo Chunyue knows very well that their husband and wife have no craftsmanship, second, no reputation, and third, they have offended the Lu family, who dares to invite them in these ten miles and eight towns?

If the Gu family didn't buy them, then their husband and wife would have to leave their hometown and go to other places to make a living.

Mo Chunyue fled all the way, fed up with the suffering of leaving her hometown, and finally settled down, even if she was killed, she was unwilling to leave again.

Gu Jinli cried with Mo Chunyue, and when Mo Chunyue cried all the arrogance in her heart, she looked at He San and asked him, "Do you know Zhang Niuzi?" ”

He San was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately nodded and said: "I know, I know, Zhang Niuzi is from the elm village in front of us, and there is a hundred-year-old elm tree in their village, and the village is ......."

"Getting to the point!" Gu Jinli interrupted He Sanzi: "What I want to know is Zhang Niuzi's identity and background, not the history of Yushu Village. ”

He Sanzi hurriedly changed his words and said: "Zhang Niuzi is twenty-six this year, and he has been doing things for the Lu family since ten years ago, specializing in some shady things. The Lu family is also very good to him, tsk, those of us who help the Lu family do things, we will give a maximum of 100 yuan for the Lu family once, plus a meal of wine and meat. But that cow took money from the Lu family on a monthly basis, and the Lu family gave him five taels of silver a month! ”

He Sanzi stretched out a slap, and when he said the words five taels of silver, his eyes were glowing green, and he looked envious.

"Do you know why the Lu family gave him such a high price?" Gu Jinli asked, she was also Lu Dezhu's matter, and only after hearing about this Zhang Niuzi, she knew that the Lu family had more than He Sanzi and a group of bastards.

"I heard it's because of Zhang Niuzi and his brother." He Sanzi looked at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said: "It is said that Zhang Niuzi's eldest brother Zhang Huzi and a group of people fell into the grass, specializing in trading on the waterway from Linhe Mansion to Jiangnan, and it is said that he also had a life in his hands. ”

Gu Jinli frowned, she still asked the gang of Jiangyang thieves?

He San's words also scared the three grandfathers and three grandmothers: "This, there are still such people in the nearby village?" Then why didn't the government arrest people? ”

He Sanzi cut off and said to the third grandmother: "What do you know?" People can mix on the waterway, which one does not have a backer, and Zhang Huzi and they are doing business from Linhe Mansion to Jiangnan Waterway, which has nothing to do with our He'an Mansion, and the officials and men of our He'an Mansion will not meddle in their affairs. ”

"Then the Lu family took a fancy to the relationship between Zhang Niuzi and Zhang Huzi, so they raised him with silver." He Sanzi talked about Zhang Niuzi, and he was very disdainful: "That Zhang Niuzi has no ability, he just relies on his eldest brother's name to bluff people." ”

But this name has bluffed a lot of people, and the Lu family and Zou Xiancheng have also benefited from it.

"Hmph, don't look at Zhang Niuzi now proudly, when Zhang Huzi can't do it one day, or if he is planted, he will be punished." He San leper gloated.

The third grandfather and the third grandmother heard that Zhang Huzi was not in He'an Mansion, so they were relieved.

The third grandmother bowed to the eastern sky: "God bless, it's best to let Zhang Huzi die in a foreign country, don't come back." ”

He San leper said: "Grandma Gu San, don't worry, that Zhang Huzi doesn't dare to come back, if he comes back, it's too late to hide." ”

"That's good, that's good." The third grandmother patted her heart and said with palpitations.

After asking about Zhang Niuzi, Gu Jinli asked He Sanzi about the situation of the bastards in ten miles and eight towns, he really knew a lot, said a lot of things, and reminded Gu Jinli that there were bastards in which village, and who was the master behind those bastards?

Gu Jinli was very satisfied with this, the only thing she liked about He San's leper was that he was familiar with the bastards in the vicinity, so that she could take precautions.

After Gu Jinli asked, he said, "It's a bit useful." ”

He Sanzi's eyes lit up: "Grandma, what you say is ...... Willing to buy us? ”。

Gu Jinli said: "I don't count this matter, I have to ask the third grandfather, the third grandmother, and my father." ”
