Therefore, he was very relieved to entrust the Fang family to Zhang Qiuju, and he was so busy that he was not at home all day.

Zhang Qiuju has been accustomed to being served by Chen's eldest daughter-in-law for many years, but suddenly there is no one to serve at home, and there is another pregnant woman who has to serve herself.

I really didn't get used to it for a while.

After serving for two days, I became impatient, looking at Fang's everywhere was not pleasing to the eye, if it weren't for the sake of the child in Fang's belly, I would have stopped doing it a long time ago.

I had no choice but to hold on for a few days, but I couldn't hold on, and I was reluctant to pay for the money, so I only hired a mother-in-law at a low price and asked her to cook, wash clothes, and clean the house. The mother-in-law stopped working for two days, and when she went out to meet people, she said that the Tian family was stingy, spending the money of hiring one person, and asking people to do the work of three or four people, who would go if she was stupid.

After coming and going, the reputation of the Tian family spread among the people's teeth, and they didn't like to deal with the Tian family.

Later, I had no choice but to buy two rough girls and go back.

Later, when he was fifteen, under the pretext of praying for the pregnant daughter-in-law at home, he gave porridge and grain, and donated silver to the temple in the suburbs to send Guanyin to the golden body.

For a while, the reputation of the Tian family's stinginess was suppressed, and the reputation of charity was spread all over the place.

Mei Xiaotong didn't have time to take care of the Tian family, she was busy with Mrs. Du's medical skills.

After that day, she first memorized the soup song and went to Taiyi Du.

Imperial Physician Du didn't say anything else, and threw her a copy of the Herbal Sutra.

Let her memorize the grass sutra first, and after the memorization is ripe, she will come to his house to check it, and take any herb to recognize it.

Mei Xiaotong reads dozens of words and more than a dozen words in the Grass Book every day, and the introduction of more than a dozen words is simply big.

After Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding came from the Tian family, seeing that Mrs. Zhang's health was getting better day by day, I couldn't help but worry, will this Mrs. Zhang be dismissed after her health is better?

It's hard to find such a good owner.

The two discussed it, found Mei Xiaotong, and said the meaning, roughly that the two wanted to sell themselves to the Song family.

Mei Xiaotong naturally can't ask for it, these two mothers-in-law are quick to do things, and their mouths are tight, so they can buy the deed, so they are naturally more assured.

In the past, she was not easy to mention, but now the two of them took the initiative to ask where they did not agree.

immediately signed the deed of sale and went to the yamen to enter the file, Wu Pozi and Ding Pozi are also members of the Song family.

The two mothers-in-law also got what they wanted, why did they come out to work at such an old age, and they couldn't do it. A man in the family had already died of illness, and those who stayed behind were also the children of the former mother-in-law, so they naturally refused to be supported, so they had to come out to find something to eat.

There is also a Mrs. Ding, who was also a cook in a large family at the beginning, and was promised by the owner's family to be the housekeeper of the family. I didn't expect to meet a drunk person who was going to beat her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Ding didn't escape when she was pregnant with a child, the child was gone, and her body was broken.

Later, the person in charge fell in love with a young and beautiful girl, disliked Mrs. Ding, and gave Mrs. Ding a break.

But every time after getting drunk

touched Mrs. Ding, dragged her out and beat her, it was really worse than death.

If it weren't for the accident in the master's family, the people below were allowed to redeem themselves, and Mrs. Ding begged someone to buy herself, which was considered to have escaped with her life.

was originally a helpless mother-in-law, and now she is making money so that she can support her in the future.

But if they can sign a deed of sale for the Song family, they will be taken care of by someone in terms of birth, old age, sickness and death, which is much more reliable than those nephews, nephews and stepsons of the three outsiders.

Therefore, the two of them became more and more attentive every day, and made the home and outside the home very clear.

Don't worry about Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Zhang.

It's Mrs. Zhang, who feels that she has two mothers-in-law, her own precious daughter, and she is also a talented lady, and she is not short of money, so she should buy a girl back.

Mei Xiaotong then remembered that she seemed to have told Yan Zhongren that she wanted to buy a girl, and it has been many days, so she hasn't found a suitable one?

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Zheng Zhong chattered, Yan Zhongren asked her mother-in-law to come to the door with a few maids.

The two of them are both engaged in this business, Yan Zhong people are mostly people who rent houses, and her mother-in-law does dental work, and goes to the countryside every year to buy some little girls or mothers-in-law who can't live at home and sell them to big families.

Yan Zhongren's mother-in-law's surname is Wang, known as Wang's mother-in-law, and the husband and wife are quite conscientious in this industry, but they don't do those things that deceive and deceive, they all buy some people who voluntarily sell themselves, and they never sell girls to that dirty place.

Whether it is a big family buying people, or a poor family selling people, they all believe in them.

After all, even if those people really can't sell people, most of them can't do it, and they all hope that the girls they sell will be the last bit of conscience for their parents to be a proper maid.

Therefore, the reputation of the two is not bad.

Last time, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding were old, and Mrs. Wang happened to go to the countryside to buy people, so they were brought by Yan Zhongren.

This time, Mrs. Wang came back, so she naturally sent someone to the door.

When Mrs. Wu opened the door, she saw that Mrs. Wang, the mother-in-law of Yanzhong, was followed by three or four maids in their teens.

But most people, buying a maid is to go home to work, where is there so much time to train?

Therefore, these teenage maids can work, and they are still young, and they can be trained well for two years, and they can also be used easily, and they are easy to be loyal to their masters, which is the most sought-after.

Mrs. Wang can bring three or four at a time, which shows that she is really hearted.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wang are also acquaintances, so they first invited Mrs. Wang to sit down in the courtyard, poured tea, and then invited Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Zhang to come out.

Mei Xiaotong has memorized the Herbal Sutra for the past few days, and she almost doubts her life, and she has the name of the herb in her mind every day.

When I heard that Mrs. Wang was coming, my first reaction was what kind of herb Mrs. Wang was?

Listened to Mrs. Wu's

introduced, only to understand.

Hurriedly got up, cleaned up a little, and went out.

I heard Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang greeting.

Mrs. Wang first greeted Mrs. Zhang's condition, and then flattered Mrs. Zhang before saying that she had picked a few girls who were slightly pleasing to the eye for so many days.

Mrs. Zhang knew that Mrs. Wang was selling well, so she thanked Mrs. Wang very well, and praised the people sent by Mrs. Yan last time, such as Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding.

Mrs. Wang felt that her face was shining, and the two of them became more and more speculative, but they left the girls who came in aside, and no one cared.

The girls were a little bolder, and they secretly raised their heads, their eyes glancing around.

There are also those who are timid and honest, who keep their heads down and stare at the little place under their feet, and they don't dare to move their eyelids.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong come out, Yan Zhong and Mrs. Zhang ended praising each other and saluting each other.

Mrs. Wang said to a few girls: "They all raised their heads and saw the talented lady." ”

Those girls, look at me, I look, and look up in disbelief.

But they are all teenagers, and they all look good, two are slightly taller, and two are thin and small, looking like they are not enough.

Mei Xiaotong only glanced at it slightly, and was about to help Mrs. Zhang, when her head twisted halfway, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, turned her head again, and looked at it carefully.

I saw that among the four girls, there was a little girl with extremely thin and yellow hair, who was looking at herself stupidly.

Isn't that the little girl Yang Zai in Yangjia Village?

How could she be sold as a maid?

"Why are you here? Where's your mom and dad? Does your third sister know? Mei Xiaotong asked with a frown. Wild Sand Literature Network

Yang Zaizhao's eyes turned red, and tears fell: "Ask Xiucai to buy me!" My mom and dad don't want me anymore—"

As soon as Mei Xiaotong heard this, she knew that she had an inside, thought about it, and said hello to Mrs. Wang, only saying that this little girl knew herself, so ask her about her situation first, and let Mrs. Wang wait a little longer.

Mrs. Wang naturally has nothing to disagree with.

sat down with Mrs. Zhang again, and Mrs. Ding served two more snacks and continued to praise each other.

Mei Xiaotong took Yang Zaizhao into the house before asking, "What's going on?" ”

Yang Zaizhaocai choked up and said everything.

It turned out that Yang Zhao went to Yingzigou again, and when he went back, Yang Zhaodi brought Yang Zaizhao some food and mountain goods, so that she would not be beaten and scolded by her father and mother when she went back.

The parents of the Yang family looked at the things that Yang Zaizhao brought back, so they scolded them without pain.

Who would have thought, after a while, I don't know where the Yang family's parents heard it, saying that the hunters in Yingzigou had made a fortune, and a big boss outside took a fancy to the wild tree leaves they had there, saying that the wild tree leaves were worth old money outside.

again

I heard that this big boss has a lot of money, and he said that he promised to give each family in Yingzigou a hundred taels of silver a year, and he wanted to build them a big house.

When the Yang family's parents heard this, there was such a good thing? The two of them rushed to Yingzigou early in the morning, wanting to find Yang Zhaodi to bring back the one hundred taels of silver to his son Yang Zubao and save it for his son Yang Zubao to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.

I never thought that the road into Yingzigou had already been blocked, except for the people from Yingzigou, as well as Zhang Yinbao's people, no stranger was allowed to enter or leave.

Even if the Yang family's parents said that their daughter married to Yingzigou, they were stopped outside.

The Yang family's parents ran away in vain, and they were so angry that they came back with a scolding.

The more I thought about it, the more unconvinced I became, and it happened that Yang Zubao came back, and when he saw the two members of the Yang family, he asked: "Dad, mother, have you brought back the silver?" I'm going to buy sugar cakes, and I've told them that our family is going to be rich—"

Where can the Yang family's parents come up with the money to buy sugar cakes for their son?

When Yang Zubao heard that there was no silver and no sugar cake, where would he be willing to do it? Immediately splashed and rolled on the ground and cried, I want sugar cakes, I want sugar cakes......

The Yang family's parents had no choice but to coax and say, it's late tonight, they really want to buy sugar cakes, and when Ming'er takes the girl in the family, regardless of which one they are, sell them for some money, and buy them sugar cakes.

Originally, he was coaxing Yang Zubao, but Yang Zubao took it seriously, he originally felt that the two sisters were an eyesore, and when he heard that he was going to sell them, he rolled his eyes, and he played tricks on the ground, saying that he must sell a girl out tomorrow and leave one to serve him, otherwise he will not eat and starve to death.

This Yang Zubao is the heart of the Yang family's parents, as soon as they heard that their son didn't eat and starved to death, the Yang family's parents panicked.

I didn't have a chance to agree.

In the evening, the two husbands and wives combined, and they also felt sad now, because they thought that when the two girls were older, they would find a family affair for them, and sell them at a good price, which was enough for their son to marry a daughter-in-law.

But now I heard that the three sons-in-law of Yingzigou could get a hundred taels of silver a year, and they suddenly looked down on this money.

The two of them combined, the third child will definitely go back to his parents' house, and when the time comes, ask her to bring the silver, and the silver will be used by them and their sons every year, one hundred taels! Enough to build a big house, buy a field, and eat it every day.

It's just that the big boss is watching it tightly at the moment, and the big boss can't watch it for a lifetime, right?

Since you look at it this way, the third child's silver is his own silver, and he doesn't have to worry about getting a new house and marrying a daughter-in-law in the future, so why bother to strangle himself like this, let his baby son be wronged, and even be reluctant to buy sugar cakes?

At this time, sell the fourth or fifth child.

Yang's father originally planned to sell the fifth child, but the fourth child is now a good hand at working at home, keeping it at home, and in a few years, he will find someone to sell it at a good price, and then his son and daughter-in-law will marry back.

Mother Yang disagreed, she knew that the fourth and third children had always been sisters, leaving the fourth child on the side, what if she reported to the third child? Again

, the fourth child is already twelve or thirteen, and if she can't stay for two years, she will have to find someone.

This son is still young, and it is too early for a daughter-in-law to come in to honor herself and the head of the family, so isn't she tired and tired in the middle of a few years?

Thinking about it this way, it's best to leave the fifth child at home, the fifth child is only ten years old, and he is also very capable of doing something, so he can't teach it slowly.

I can work at home for a few more years, and then be ruthless in the future, and keep the fifth child for two more years, and the age will not be too old, and I can catch up with the new daughter-in-law to enter the door.

As soon as Mother Yang said this, Father Yang thought that this was indeed the truth, and immediately made a decision and wanted to sell the fourth child.

Originally, the two husbands and wives of the Yang family planned to hide this matter, but they will talk about it when they find the person who bought it.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zubao was not a person who could hide his words, and the next day, no trivial matter was as he expected, so Yang Zubao jumped up and pointed at the noses of the two sisters, scolding them for selling them for sugar cakes to eat.

Yang was so frightened that he cried again, crying and shouting not to sell her, not to sell her.

Yang Zaizhao was bigger, although he was also panicked, he could still hold on to his face, and asked Yang Zubao: "You are talking nonsense, my father and mother will not sell us!" Talk nonsense again, I'll let my father beat you! ”

When Yang Zubao heard this, he still dared to threaten himself?

called the two husbands and wives of the Yang family to testify, and said in front of them that they were going to sell Yang again!

Seeing that this plan could not be hidden, the husband and wife of the Yang family had to cry poorly, saying that the family was sad and could not go on, and there was no way to do it. If you want Yang to be more sensible, you can't just watch your father and younger siblings starve to death, right?

On the other hand, he said that he promised to pick a good family to sell, and sell her to a large family as a maid, and that she would eat and dress well, which was a hundred times better than at home.

This is because I feel sorry for her, so I thought of such a good way out for her.

Yang Zaizhao is not a three- or four-year-old child, can he be deceived by these nonsense?

This is sold to others as a girl, life is someone else's, if you want to be born, if you want to die, you will die, which one is a father, it's not that you can't get by, and you won't sell your children ruthlessly?

But the son of the Yang family is not unbearable, she and the fifth child are hungry and full, but the father and mother and younger brother are full?

begged bitterly at the moment, only begging the Yang family and his wife not to sell her, she would definitely eat less and work more in the future.

It's a pity that the Yang family and his wife have already made up their minds, and threatened her that if she is not happy to be sold, then she will sell the fifth Yang and recruit again.

When the fifth Yang heard that he was going to sell himself, he was so frightened that he only held Yang Zaizhao's hand with tears: "Fourth sister, I don't want to be sold-"

What else can Yang rerecruit? I'm older, even if I sell it to others as a maid, I can't make a living. Wild Sand Literature Network

But Lao Wuyang is brave and young, and he is young, if he offends the master's family, he can't even lose his life.

I had to grit my teeth and agree.

Waiting for Yang to agree again, this father Yang immediately inquired all over the village if there were any people who wanted to buy people.

I inquired about the price of selling people again, and almost recruited Yang to sell him to an unsightly place, but fortunately, the head of the Yang family spoke, and the family couldn't open the pot to sell his daughter, but he was not allowed to sell it to a dirty place, which stained the reputation of the Yang family.

Father Yang had no choice but to give up, and it happened that Mrs. Wang went to the countryside to buy people, and the price was fair.

The husband and wife of the Yang family were afraid of long nights and dreams, so they happily sold the person to Mrs. Wang, died the contract, took five taels of silver and left.

Yang Zaizhao was scared and panicked at first, but later saw that although Mrs. Wang was strict, she didn't abuse them girls.

He also taught them the rules, so that they were well fed and cleanly dressed.

I also heard that this Mrs. Wang has a conscience and never sells girls to dirty places, so Yang Zaizhao completely relieved himself.

She followed Mrs. Wang, and worked very hard to learn everything that Mrs. Wang taught, and she knew that if she learned more and remembered more, she would be able to live a longer life in the future.

In order to suppress them, Mrs. Wang began to tell them countless stories about being maids, not recognizing their position, and relying on a little color, they wanted to fly on the branches as a phoenix, but they ended up miserable.

Let them remember these girls firmly: obedient! Loyalty! This is the case!

in order to live a long time.

Mrs. Wang bought more than a dozen little girls in this batch, and these three or four are those who have a better learning attitude and are more outstanding.

was singled out by Mrs. Wang, saying that she wanted to find a good family for them, as long as they served honestly, a good son would be behind in the future.

Unexpectedly, this good family was actually Wang Xiuzhu's family.

Yang Zaizhao is still a little girl after all, although she was almost brainwashed by Mrs. Wang, but when she saw Mei Xiaotong, a familiar person, she had been together for a few days at the beginning, and she suddenly couldn't help it.

"Show talented lady! Please, buy me! I'm very capable now, I can cook, wash clothes, sweep the floor, I can do anything! I beg you to buy me and give me a bite to eat!" My life is yours! I'll do whatever you want me to do! ”
