122 Buying a servant

Originally, he wanted to sell himself and take some silver to treat the only remaining family members and take medicine, but the unscrupulous man, knowing that their family could not come up with the money, promised to prescribe medicine to treat the disease, but just excused himself, in fact, he didn't want to treat their family at all.

The two took the money back, and Lang Zhong said that the plague could not be cured and could be contagious, so they refused to go, and in the end, their family still died.

The two knew that the plague could not be stained, and they were afraid that the people here would be accidentally infected later, and after being sad for a while, they set fire to their homes and came here.

The money has not been spent, but the freedom is gone.

Jiang Xiaonian listened to their story and decided to buy them.

To be able to sell oneself to treat one's family is to have filial piety.

And to be able to think of others after the death of a family member, to burn the house and burn the corpse, just to prevent the plague from spreading further, is to have a conscience.

If you take the money and don't run away, and return here as agreed, that is integrity.

Jiang Xiaonian doesn't want to have any troubles at home in the future, in her opinion, the others can be a little back, and the most important thing is character.

In addition, the two of them are young and strong, and they are the best candidates for the family.

The other woman was a hard-working woman, married to a gambler, and she was tired of working at home every day, and her husband had to beat and scold her when he came home.

Later, when she couldn't pay off her gambling debts, her unscrupulous husband sold her and her daughter, who were not a buyer and she didn't know where she went.

The people who sold here are all people who have their own last resort, Jiang Xiaonian listened to the introduction of Steward Li, saying that she was skillful and had good cooking skills, and she was very able to endure hardships, so she decided to buy her.

After deciding on these three people, Jiang Mengliang and the others planned to leave, but they heard a child's cry from the backyard.

People who do not obey the work in the backyard will be whipped more or less, and it is normal to cry, but this cry is clearly the voice of a baby of one or two years old.

Jiang Xiaonian asked curiously: "Steward Li, why are there children here?" Does anyone buy it too? ”

This era is not like modern times, children are adopted, here the main house can not be born can be divorced and remarried, even if it is not rest, you can accept a concubine, if it is a man's problem, you can go to the family of the same clan to raise one, there is no problem of adoption.

Steward Li explained: "No, it was a woman who was sold before, and she brought a child. ”

I don't know why, when Jiang Xiaonian heard this, she immediately felt pity, a woman was sold here with such a small child, and she must be very desperate in her heart.

"Oh? Tell us about her. ”

Steward Li thought that Jiang Xiaonian still wanted to buy another subordinate, so he introduced very enthusiastically: "That woman is not bad, she is also diligent and beautiful, Master Jiang and Miss Jiang rest assured, although she has a child, but the child has recently been sick, if there is no money to treat it, it will not live long." originally wanted to sell her to the master of a big family as a concubine, but she worked desperately to bring her own children, how could she buy a concubine and bring an oil bottle? We can't help it, we can only wait a little longer, if the lady is interested, we can sell it to you cheaper. ”

Jiang Xiaonian nodded while listening, if that woman was really diligent and honest, she wouldn't mind being a good person and buying her.

One more person or one less person in the family has no impact on the Jiang family, anyway, there is work to be done in the family.

"I also bothered Steward Li to bring her out for us to see."

Jiang Mengliang saw that Jiang Xiaonian was still going to buy it, and whispered on the side: "Xiaonian, our family is enough for three people, so there is no need to buy any more." ”

"Dad, I'll take a look, if you don't like it, forget it."

Jiang Xiaonian rarely took the initiative to make a request, so Jiang Mengliang had to follow her thoughts and take a look.

Steward Li saw that Jiang Mengliang also agreed, and he was very happy in his heart, this woman is a stock, it is difficult to sell, if her son does not die, it is estimated that it will rot in his hands.

Anyway, it was cheap when I bought it, and now I can earn as much as I want.

After a while, the previous mother-in-law brought out a woman in tattered coarse cloth clothes, the woman lowered her head, holding her child in her arms, the child was still crying, and the woman's tears were falling down.

"Hurry up, don't grind!"

The mother-in-law in the back suddenly pushed her, and the woman kicked to the threshold, staggered, and threw herself forward, and the child in her hand also took off.

The mother-in-law's push is not all because the woman walks slowly, she ponders that the buyer must not like her to take a child, troublesome.

If she falls to her death directly, it is estimated that she may sell a lot more, and she can also receive a part of the reward.

"Ah, my child!"

A child who is more than a year old can already walk, and his bones are stronger than those of newborns, but there are several steps in front of the threshold, and if he falls directly and falls on the bluestone slab, he will be seriously injured if he does not die.

After the woman screamed, she hurriedly rushed forward and rolled straight down the stairs.

Just when she was tearful and watching her child about to land, Jiang Xiaonian suddenly appeared in front of her and caught the child steadily.

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you, Miss! My baby! The woman took a few steps forward and took the crying child in her arms.

Jiang Xiaonian was close to her, and although the woman lowered her head and her face was full of dirt, she still recognized her.

"Luo ...... Aunt Luo? ”

The woman was too excited to hear her call.

Jiang Xiaonian brushed Luo's hair hanging down on his face to the side, and after looking at her carefully, he shouted to Jiang Mengliang in surprise: "Dad, it's Aunt Luo!" Aunt Luo is not dead! ”

Jiang Mengliang was still amazed at Jiang Xiaonian's speed, but at this moment, he came back to his senses and hurriedly ran over to look at Luo.

"Sister Luo, it's really you!"

I was embarrassed to hear what happened to her before, but I didn't expect to run into her so coincidentally.

Luo also raised his head, looked at the two people in front of him, and saw that it was Jiang Mengliang and Jiang Xiaonian, his face showed ecstasy, and he hurriedly hugged the child and kowtowed: "Master Jiang, Miss Jiang, please have mercy on me and save my child!" I'm kowtowing to you! ”

I haven't seen each other for more than two years, and the two sides have become a lot of strangers, and Luo knows that the people who come here to buy are all big families, and they don't dare to call Jiang Mengliang Brother Jiang anymore.

Jiang Mengliang looked at her current appearance, his face was very heavy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said, "Sister Luo, you get up first, don't worry, we will try our best to help you." ”

How can I say that I have worked together for so long in the past, Luo's personality is good, and he has a good relationship with the Jiang family.

Luo didn't expect Jiang Mengliang to agree to her in one bite, and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her: "Thank you Master Jiang, I will repay you for being a cow and a horse in this life!" ”

"Hurry up, don't knock, we don't need you to be a cow or a horse, the iron pillar is still looking for you everywhere!"

Luo looked at Jiang Mengliang suspiciously, not understanding what was going on.
