Chapter 61: Youzhou (17)
On the second day, Gewu Bookstore posted a notice that female workers would be recruited after the Lantern Festival, with ten copper plates a day and two meals. Those who are excellent in work can be the team leader, and they can be five dollars per month. Rise to do stewardship, 1 tael of silver per month.
Many people came up and asked, what does this female worker need to do?
The clerk said he didn't know, but said with a smile: "The owner didn't say it, but you have to treat the sisters in the family well, she may earn more than you in the future!" ”
"Shopkeeper, do you know what kind of handiwork you do?" An aunt asked Lan Rongzhuan.
Lan Rong shook his head and left. Mother helped those poor scholars, poor boys, and now even the daughters of the poor have to help?
The clerk said, "Our owner has rented the house opposite, you see, the one where people enter and people go out." At that time, it will be the daughter's family who will work in it. ”
The aunt clapped her hands: "I'll come with my daughter, can I do it?" ”
The clerk nodded: "Sign up first, can you do it, you still have to have an interview!" ”
The aunt was hearty: "No problem, I have sharp hands and feet, and my little girl is also a good worker." ”
While everyone was surrounding the clerk and asking questions, a little boy suddenly rushed to Lan Rongzhuan, who was standing in front of the counter.
"Shopkeeper, please, my grandmother wants to sell my sister. Can I pay my wages first, and then I will sell you a monthly magazine for the rest of my life! The little boy cried out.
"Guo'er, what's wrong with you?" The aunt came over and suddenly reacted, "Your grandmother wants to sell the grass?" ”
Guo'er wiped her tears and made a decision: "Shopkeeper, my grandmother called someone Yazi to come and said that she would sell her sister for ten taels of silver and marry my uncle." I'll sell monthly magazines well, you can help me! ”
Lan Rong turned to speak: "Isn't there a notice posted outside, do you need female workers?" You go back and tell your grandmother that as long as your sister comes here to work, the family will have income. ”
Guo'er cried breathlessly: "I said...... Yes, but ...... Grandmother...... Don't listen to ......"
The eldest aunt said regretfully: "That grass has been a capable person since she was a child, but Aunt Ye is eccentric. ”
Lu Yingfang was walking from the second room, and when she saw this, she said, "Let's go over and have a look!" ”
Guo'er didn't know Lu Yingfang, but it would be nice if the bookstore was willing to help.
When Guo'er led Lu Yingfang and the others over, Renyazi had already arrived at the house rented by the Ye family.
"Grandma, don't sell me, I can sell monthly magazines, and all the money I earn will be handed over to you!" A young girl begged bitterly.
"The bookstore only needs a boy, if you want to do something, you can follow the people obediently!" An old lady pouted and said to the human teeth.
"Mother, don't sell grass, I'll kowtow to you!" Cao Erniang knelt on the ground and knocked very loudly.
The old lady is Aunt Ye, she doesn't look at her daughter-in-law, but at Cao'er's father: "You don't care about your daughter-in-law?" Your brother wants to get married, is it possible that you want your brother to marry a daughter-in-law? What enmity do you have against your brother? ”
Cao'er's father is an honest man, and when he was squeezed by his mother, he said anxiously: "But Guo'er has already begun to earn silver......"
"I'm bah, that copper plate is not enough to support your family, Guo'er will get married sooner or later, now send her to be a slave, and she can still be fed and clothed!" Aunt Ye's saliva was about to spray on Daddy Cao'er's face.
"Second brother, I'm nineteen, you can do it, let me marry a daughter-in-law!" A young man looked pleading.
"Sister." Guo'er threw herself on the grass, "I'll bring someone to save you." Third uncle, you don't want to sell your sister. ”
Aunt Ye found that there were many people standing at the door, and an old lady led by her slowly walked into the courtyard.
"If you sell your niece to marry a wife, I will write this matter in the monthly magazine, so that everyone knows how you married a wife, I dare to guarantee that no one will dare to marry you!" Lu Yingfang said directly to the third uncle of Guo'er.
Third Uncle Guo'er was watched by so many people, and his face was a little red: "You, who are you?" What does it matter to you that I marry a wife? ”
Lu Yingfang smiled: "Cao'er is a female worker hired by me, and his brother has already signed a contract for her." If you break the contract, you will have to pay twenty taels of silver. Since you think this niece is yours and owes you, why don't you help her pay the liquidated damages! ”
Twenty taels? Third Uncle Guo'er almost jumped up: "You robbed?" What's the matter with me? ”
"Why are you allowed to rob other people's daughters, why are I not allowed to rob them?" Lu Yingfang said slowly.
Aunt Ye glared at Lu Yingfang: "Who are you?" Where did you run from, our family's business, what did you come from? ”
"Unfortunately, I'm the owner of Gewu Bookstore, and this grass is the female worker we're looking for, do you think it's my business?" Lu Yingfang's words made the people around him gasp. No wonder the two young men in gray and blue clothes behind her were a little eye-catching, it turned out to be the clerks of Gewu Bookstore!
Third Uncle Guo'er's face turned red, this is the owner of Gewu Bookstore? This is no ordinary person!
Aunt Ye didn't care so much: "I want to sell my granddaughter, I didn't sign the contract, and the contract signed by a little doll is not counted." ”
Lu Yingfang stared at the man's teeth: "Which tooth is this brother?" Gewu Bookstore needs to add a lot of people, please help when the time comes. ”
That person is a shrewd person, and the owner of Gewu Bookstore is not an ordinary person! Looking at the posture of Gewu Bookstore, it must be recruited. Clear-eyed people know at a glance that the old lady is here to support her today! Since the old lady wants to do a good deed every day, there is no need for him to offend a big customer in the future for the sake of a little girl!
"The small one is the Mo economy of the Chen family's tooth line, if the old lady has orders, the small one will definitely do it!" Mo Economy smiled at Lu Yingfang.
"I'll go first today." Mo Jingye left like this, completely ignoring Aunt Ye calling behind him.
Aunt Ye didn't dare to offend Lu Yingfang, so she stepped forward and beat Cao'er Niang: "It's all your fault, the good son you gave birth to, you actually dared to sign a contract......
Lu Yingfang shook her head, knowing that the other party was deliberately calling herself, but she couldn't care so much. If the head of this house cannot be established, the whole family will suffer.
She said to Cao'er Daddy, who was standing aside as a wooden man: "The people who have been with you the longest in this life are not your parents. It's your wife, if you can't even protect your own wife and daughter, you will be a father and a husband in vain. ”
This is the big family in ancient times, the elders said east, they did not dare to go west. She knew that she shouldn't say this, she was suspected of sowing discord, but she couldn't help it!
Why should this kind of man marry a wife, just give your wife a cow and a horse for the rest of your life.
"What's the matter with you? Do you want to take care of it? Isn't there a contract? How much does it cost? Hurry up and take it. "Aunt Ye originally had scruples, but now she is angry and has begun to speak viciously.
But the clerk next to him couldn't help it: "I haven't started working yet, where is the salary?" ”
"How much is that?" Aunt Ye thought about the ten taels of silver in her hand and flew away, eager to kill these troublemakers.
Lu Yingfang ignored her, she said to the grass that was still kneeling on the ground: "After the Lantern Festival, clean up and come over." If you have the strength to work, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to the team leader! ”
She smiled at Guo'er and nodded, and was about to leave.
Cao'er Niang suddenly rushed over and kowtowed to Lu Yingfang: "Boss, you can buy Cao'er!" The grass is very capable! ”
Cao'er's father was stunned: "The child is ...... mother"
"Boss, you are a good person! You can buy all three of us! I would like to make you a cow and a horse, and call you! Cao Erniang's face has been scratched by her mother-in-law with several blood marks.
"Okay, you black-hearted mother-in-law, you actually want to sell the fruit, that's the grandson of our Ye family, how can you sell it?" Aunt Ye was furious, and she couldn't wait to step forward and beat Cao'er Niang again.
It's just that the two clerks stood next to her grandfather on the left and right, with a fierce look on their faces that made her dare not rush forward.
Cao'erniang looked at Cao'er's father in despair: "Self-selling, there is still a way to live." For the sake of your eldest brother's study, I have already sold my first daughter. Now for the sake of your third brother's wife, you want to sell my second daughter. Will it be sold with me in the future? ”
Cao'er's father waved his hand in a panic: "No...... No...... No......"
"Last time Guo'er was sick, my mother refused to pay for treatment. Guo'er is the grandson of the Ye family! Also, why didn't your mother sell your sister and sell my daughter twice? Isn't my daughter the Ye family? Cao Erniang let out a soul-like torture.
There was a good deed next to him who shouted: "Aunt Ye, don't be so partial, so that Ye's second family can't survive." ”
"That is, I only sold a granddaughter last year, and I want to sell another granddaughter this year, is the Ye family unable to get by?"
"You see that the Ye family is still studying, where is it that he can't live? This old woman is eccentric! ”
This is a divine turn, the child's mother wants to sell herself, and she still wants to sell her two children.
Cao Erniang continued to kowtow to Lu Yingfang: "I know that you are a good person, you give everyone free books, and let the children earn money for the New Year." Buy us and give us a way to live! ”
"I disagree!" Aunt Ye simply burst out with the maximum lung capacity, and after speaking, she panted and looked at Cao Erniang with murderous eyes.
Cao'erniang has already let it go: "Anyway, if you want to force our second room to death, you will either split up or sell me and Cao'er." ”
"Don't you think about it......" Aunt Ye was not polite, pointing to the mother and daughter on the ground and said, "The owner, you can buy the two of them!" They asked for it themselves. ”
Cao'er's father knelt down towards Aunt Ye: "Mother, don't, don't sell them!" ”
Lu Yingfang is most unaccustomed to such a man: "You should have picked it up!" Your mother would rather sell your daughter-in-law and daughter than split up, seeing your wife separated, and not wanting to split up and see you live a good life, you should be the son of the enemy! ”
Lu Yingfang's words were too lethal, and Cao'er's father was stunned!
Yes, why does his own mother want his wife to be separated and refuse to break up?
