Chapter 167: Buying People

When the grandmother heard Mingyue say that she wanted to buy a middle-aged woman who had given birth to a child, she immediately had a plan in her heart.

Her eyes quickly glanced at Mingyue's lower abdomen, which was still as flat as ever, and seeing Mingyue's cheeks flushing slightly, she immediately realized that her guess was nine points true.

“... This is Liu San's family, she not only gave birth to two sons and a daughter herself, but also helped the former owner serve her pregnant nephew, and she is the most experienced of the group of people I have. ”

Mingyue followed her grandmother's line of sight, and a fat white woman about forty years old was standing there slightly cramped.

She was dressed in a patched coarse cloth garment, her hair was meticulously combed, and there was not a single stain in her fingernails, and she was obviously a poor but very neat woman.

Mingyue asked her, "Where did you work before?" ”

The blessing of the Liu San family was blessed, "Back to the young grandmother, the slave maid used to work in the Liu family in the east of the city. The slave maid is the slave of the Liu family, and before she was sold, she was the housekeeper mother who served the nephew of the Liu family. ”

Grandma Sun added on the side, "She is talking about the Liu family in the grain business in the east of the city. ”

As soon as Mingyue recalled, she remembered which Liu family her grandmother was talking about.

This Liu family was originally one of the wealthiest families in Fuxing County, not only opened three excellent grain shops in the county, but also had more than a dozen shops waiting for rent collection and thousands of acres of fertile land, and the small life can be said to be quite nourishing.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, after the death of the old lady of the Liu family, the Liu family seems to have fallen under some spell, not to mention the family's business one after another, and the only grandson of the old man Liu was accidentally lost.

In order to get back the children and save the business, the Liu family spent their money like a stream.

As the days became tighter and tighter, the Liu family gradually began to sell Zhuangzi, shops, and subordinates.

This is also why Liu San's family will be displaced to the two of Sun Yaren.

Following her, Grandma Sun recommended two experienced women to Mingyue and Yu Jiayan, although those two women had also given birth, but they were not like Liu San's family, who had experience in being a housekeeper's mother.

Mingyue asked the three of them a few words, and then decided to buy Liu San's family.

Liu San and his family have a total of two sons and a daughter, their two sons are now married and married, and the daughter is about the same age as the winter solstice, a little girl with big eyes and a very clever look.

After Mingyue bought their family, Liu Dalang, Liu Erlang, and their wives and children were all sent to Zhuangzi.

Liu Jialang is literate and hyphenated, Yu Jiayan after examining him, he arranged him to go to Zhuangzi to manage the accounts of the workshop and the mill, Liu Jiaerlang is honest, no specialty, but the work is very serious and responsible, Yu Jiayan thought about it and sent him to his family's newly bought Zhuangzi.

That Zhuangzi is also by the Qingshui River, which Mingyue bought early in order to expand the scale of rice cultivation in the coming year, and it is very close to the Zhuangzi that the Yu family originally used to grow rice.

While it was still freezing, Yu Jiayan had already asked the previous craftsman to help build the water wheel and repair the canal, and Liu Erlang would be able to come in handy immediately after he went.

As for Liu San's family and their little girl vanilla.

Liu Sanyu Jiayan arranged for him to guard the gate at home and do rough work, and at the same time, he also had to take care of the coachman's errand, once Mingyue was going out and Ping'an was assigned to other places, then he would be responsible for helping Mingyue catch the car.

The Liu San's family and their little girl Vanilla were left to serve Mingyue, and Vanilla was taken by the winter solstice to deal with all the chores at home, such as cooking and laundry, cleaning, running errands, tailoring, making shoes, and embroidering, while the Liu San's family was specially responsible for taking care of Mingyue, a pregnant golden nobleman.

Mingyue was quite uncomfortable with this, but Yu Jiayan insisted that she always take the Liu Sanjia with her.

Mingyue knew that he was worried about herself, but she really didn't want to have a big living person around her all the time, even on the winter solstice, she would call the other party to her before she had something to do.

The two bargained for a long time, Mingyue was coquettish and reasonable, Yu Jiayan hesitated to agree to let the Liu Sanjia usually stay in the upside-down room and wait for the summons.

In order to avoid Liu San's family having nothing to do, Mingyue took two coarse cloths, two muslin cloths, and two bundles of cotton to her, and asked her to make two new clothes for herself, her man, Liu San, and her daughter Vanilla.

When Liu San's family finished the clothes of their family of three, Mingyue asked her to take the time to make two new clothes for Ping An and Winter Solstice.

Liu San's family didn't feel that they were overkill, and they were able to live a stable life of abundant food and clothing again, and their family was already very happy.

Occasionally, accompanying Mingyue to gossip about homely things, Liu San's family will also talk about their family's humble wishes.

According to her, the family has served in the Liu family for many years, and the family actually has some savings.

Although it was not enough to redeem the family, it was not enough to wear tattered clothes and go to the Sun Ya people.

The reason why she became destitute later was entirely because the second steward of the Liu family wanted to get a few more copper flowers in private, so she wanted to sell her and Liu San's two sons to the salt factory alone to work as coolies without telling the master's family.

It was Liu San who took all the family's savings to ask the big steward, and she and Liu San's two sons were finally spared.

As for those young and middle-aged male servants who, like their two sons, were almost ruined by the second steward and their wives were separated, there was an example of Liu San, and their family also took money to bribe the chief steward of the Liu family.

The chief steward of the Liu family was originally a little at odds with the second steward, and after a little thought, he decided to talk to Master Liu about this matter.

When Master Liu heard this, he was immediately furious.

Although their Liu family wanted to sell their subordinates, they never thought of selling their subordinates to those unsightly places.

What Qinlou Chu Pavilion, what Yanjing Mine, but whoever enters these places, how many of them can come out of it alive?

He was afraid that his family would cause trouble to his children and grandchildren, but he didn't expect that these two stewards actually planned to take advantage of their positions and make a small fortune halfway, how could he not be annoyed or angry?

Master Liu lost his temper, and then handed over the matter to the chief steward to deal with it with full authority.

The chief steward then sent all the servants who were going to be sold to the Sunya, and of course he would never return the money they had bribed him with.

But even so, everyone is still very grateful to him.

Liu San's family told Mingyue more than once that the reason why their family could still be reunited was because her man immediately went to ask for this "very good-hearted" steward, and secondly, because they met good masters like Mingyue and Yu Jiayan.

She said this sincerely, but Mingyue was embarrassed to bear her praise.
