After living in Sanhe Village for a few days, Chen Xiaoshu went to Qitong County again, this time mainly to buy a few people.
wanted to buy someone, Chen Xiaoshu still chose Boss Wang, who helped her find the Huang shopkeeper before.
When Boss Wang saw Chen Xiaoshu coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Chen's visit today really makes the small shop shine." ”
Chen Xiaoshu covered his mouth and smiled, and said: "Boss Wang's mouth is so good at talking, no wonder only your family's business is the best on this street." ”
The two exchanged a few words, and Chen Xiaoshu talked about the purpose of the trip, and said: "I'm here to buy a few people, I don't know if Boss Wang has a suitable candidate here." ”
Boss Wang heard this and said: "It should have been like this a long time ago, Mrs. Chen's business is so big now, she should have bought a few people to serve, it's not our pomp and circumstance, to be honest, if you have that time to work, it's better to rest or do a business of one or two villages." ”
Chen Xiaoshu nodded when he heard the words and said, "What Boss Wang said is that this is exactly the case. ”
"I don't know how many Mrs. Chen wants to buy, what kind of?" Boss Wang asked while motioning for the young man to serve tea.
"It's better to be a family, have a family, and sign a death deed." Chen Xiaoshu said his plan.
Boss Wang clapped his hands when he heard this: "This is a coincidence, I happen to have such a family in my hands." ”
Saying that, Boss Wang asked the young man to bring people back.
"There are six members of this family, and the original owner was also in business, but unfortunately they lost a lot of money, so they were sold." Boss Wang said, "Men and women are in the prime of life, two sons and a daughter under their knees, and they are all about to reach the age of being able to work, but there is an old mother on it, who is the old descendant of the main family, and this time they were also sold together, and the family does not want to separate the flesh and blood, so they ......."
Boss Wang didn't finish his words, but Chen Xiaoshu understood.
Naturally, the person who buys it wants to buy a young and strong one, who wants to buy an old lady to go back, spend money in vain, and can't do the work.
At this time, the young man came out of the backyard with a large family.
Chen Xiaoshu looked at the front, and the man in the front was a man in his prime, who looked to be around forty years old, with black and red skin, and looked quite capable.
She was followed by a woman, presumably his wife, who looked no more than forty years old, with her hair dull, but neatly tied at the back of her head, fixed with a strip of rag and a hairpin, and an old lady with a rickety back, thin and gray.
They were followed by two sons and a daughter, all of whom looked to be over ten years old, and sure enough, they were all at the age of being able to work.
Although the family was dressed in tatters, it was not very dirty.
"What's your name?" Chen Xiaoshu looked at the man and asked.
"The villain's original name was Tang Sancheng, and the original owner renamed the villain Huang Sangou." The man knelt down and said.
Chen Xiaoshu nodded when he heard the words and said, "Then Tang Sancheng, you can introduce me to your family." ”
Tang Sancheng stood up and said, "Yes." ”
Then he pointed to his old mother and said, "This is my mother, who is sixty years old this year." ”
Then he pointed to his wife and said: "This is my house, my mother's maiden name is Lu, and others call her Tang Lu." ”
As he spoke, he pushed several children in front of him, pointed to the eldest child, and said, "This is my eldest son, named Huzi, who is sixteen years old this year. ”
Then he pointed to his second son and said, "This is my second son, named Leopard, and both of them have a lot of strength and work very well. ”
Then he touched the top of his daughter's head and said, "This is my youngest daughter, named Xiaofen, eleven this year, although she is still young, she can already do some sewing and mending work." ”
Chen Xiaoshu nodded after listening to his introduction.
Tang Sancheng gritted his teeth and knelt down heavily: "If this noble man wants to buy us, please promise us one thing, our whole family will definitely be loyal to the noble man and will never give up." ”
Seeing this, Boss Wang's face darkened and he said: "Tang Sancheng, what are you doing here, where is your part in talking, be careful that Mrs. Chen doesn't buy you, your family will miss such a good master's house." ”
Chen Xiaoshu shook his head at Boss Wang and said, "Boss Wang, it's okay, let's listen to what he wants to say first." ”
When Tang Sancheng heard Chen Xiaoshu's words, he was overjoyed, and just as he was about to speak, he was pulled from behind by the old lady, suggesting that he should not speak.
Tang Sancheng continued: "If the nobleman wants to buy our family, please buy my mother together, the villain knows that the villain's request is very excessive, but, but my mother is over sixty years old, where will anyone be willing to buy her, and please let the nobleman be perfect, don't let us separate our flesh and blood." ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the old lady also knelt down and waved her hand again and again: "Nobleman, don't listen to his nonsense, you just need to buy my son's family, I am already old......"
Although Chen Xiaoshu has done countless mental construction for himself, he can't stand seeing such a young grandmother kneeling for herself, so she gave the little guy in the store a look, and the little guy hurriedly helped the old lady up.
After listening to the words of their mother and son, Chen Xiaoshu deliberately did not speak immediately, but muttered for a while, sighed faintly and said: "That's it, for the sake of your filial piety, I will fulfill you; Boss Wang, how much is this family? ”
Boss Wang smiled a flower on his face when he heard this, and said, "It's not much, as long as forty taels of silver, it's a good deal." ”
Chen Xiaoshu was silent when he heard this, six people, as long as forty taels, one person is only worth a little more than six taels, in other words, it is worth more than one acre of land.
This is not bad, if it is a time of war, then it is really called life is thinner than paper, and life is cheaper than paper.
Chen Xiaoshu nodded and said, "Boss Wang asked someone to come to Gonghe Lane to get the silver." ”
Chen Xiaoshu said and glanced at Boss Wang with a smile and said, "I don't see it on weekdays, Boss Wang still has this kindness." ”
Boss Wang smiled, not admitting or denying it.
Today's thing is clearly that Boss Wang pitied the family, and couldn't bear to separate their family, so he introduced their family to himself, and when Tang Sancheng begged Chen Xiaoshu just now, if Boss Wang really didn't want him to say it, there were a hundred ways for him to be unable to speak, and Boss Wang waited until Tang Sancheng finished speaking before he opened his mouth to reprimand it, which was obviously deliberate.
However, Chen Xiaoshu doesn't mind this kind of intentionality, after all, a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person is better than a person who is full of interests and finds someone to like.
Although he has a good heart, the soft-hearted person is a personal person, which gives this matter a touch of black humor.
Chen Xiaoshu stood up and looked at Tang Sancheng and said, "Since we are already from our family, then I will change your name." ”
Tang Sancheng nodded hurriedly and said, "Please give your name to grandma." ”
Chen Xiaoshu smiled and said, "You don't have to call me grandma, just call me a big lady." From now on, your name will be Tang Zhong. ”
"Yes, big lady, the villain will definitely be loyal to you in the future and live up to the name of the big lady."
