Chapter 24: A Strange Contract

Xia Yinghan's tooth sacrifice was unsuccessful, so she had to buy two more big meat buns and eat them on the way back to the village.

Thinking about what happened just now, although the joke on a girl was not very authentic, she still couldn't help laughing.

Sha Xiuyuan, who was back to the village with her, looked at her while biting the meat bun, laughing non-stop, and asked inexplicably, "Is it so funny to eat a meat bun?" ”

Xia Yinghan glanced at Sha Xiuyuan and couldn't help but quip: "Why didn't Brother Sha grab Miss Zheng's hydrangea?" ”

Sha Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of Miss Zheng's pig-headed face, frowned and said, "My family doesn't raise pigs. ”

Pig...... Burst......

Xia Yinghan didn't expect Sha Xiuyuan to tell cold jokes.

"That's right......" Xia Yinghan put down the meat bun in his mouth and said to Sha Xiuyuan: "Brother Sha, I haven't thanked you yet, this is the second time you saved me." ”

"For saving your life, you can just say 'thank you' and it's over?" Sha Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, and the scar on his forehead trembled.

Xia Yinghan didn't feel scared when he looked at it, and said with a grin: "That's definitely not it, I have your life-saving grace in my heart." It's not like I don't have anything on hand right now that I can thank you. ”

Sha Xiuyuan looked at the bun Xia Yinghan was holding in his hand.

Xia Yinghan followed Sha Xiuyuan's gaze and looked at the big meat bun in his hand, and he didn't know why, and said in a somewhat cautious tone: "You want to eat steamed buns?" Then this is for you ......."

Sha Xiuyuan looked at Xia Yinghan's reluctant look, and said speechlessly: "Okay, you can keep it for yourself, I don't want any thanks from you for saving you, but since you insist, then when you owe me a favor, when I have something to do, you can help me even if I repay this favor." ”

What?

Xia Yinghan stopped and stood in place with a confused expression, why is this set of rhetoric so familiar.

- Well, if you owe me a promise, you can do me a favor if I need it in the future.

It seems that she said something similar to Shopkeeper Zhou not long ago today.

Xia Yinghan suddenly burst into tears and laughter.

I just let Shopkeeper Zhou owe him a favor, but in a blink of an eye, he owes others two favors.

As the saying goes: Heaven is a good reincarnation, who is spared by the sky!

Sha Xiuyuan looked at Xia Yinghan with an expression of wanting to cry without tears, and suddenly a smile flashed in his eyes, and he bent the corners of his lips.

I never thought that I would ask the girl in front of me to repay her life-saving grace, and if I could save her twice, I could only say that I had a fate with her. But at this time, looking at her tangled little face, he felt inexplicably funny in his heart.

Just when the two of them were thinking about their own affairs, the words of the two women in Yongping Village next door who were making ox carts with them caught Xia Yinghan's attention.

"Hey, sister-in-law of the Li family, did you say that there are a lot of strange things this year?" A woman with a vegetable basket in her hand looked at the woman carrying a cloth bag beside her, and said mysteriously.

Although she deliberately tilted her body and leaned into the ear of the woman next to her to speak, but the ox cart was such a place, and the voices of women in the countryside were not small, even if she deliberately lowered her voice, Xia Yinghan still heard the content of their conversation.

I heard another woman ask, "What's wrong, second aunt of the Wang family, what's new here?" ”

"Two days ago, I heard that the haunted house in Pingsi Village is inhabited again, you know?"

Hearing the haunted house, Xia Yinghan thought of the sick ghost who lived in it again, but now when he thought about it, he found that he didn't hate him as much as he imagined, and now he thought more of his peerless beauty.

Sure enough, beauty makes people lose their minds!

The sister-in-law of the Li family nodded, "I know about this, and it is estimated that no one around here does not know about this." ”

"Originally, I thought that there were still people who dared to live in the haunted house, which was the rarest thing this year. Unexpectedly, I encountered a rare thing today. ”

"Oh......" The sister-in-law of the Li family became interested and asked curiously: "What's the rare thing, you talk to me." ”

It seems that someone can share the words in her heart, and the second aunt of the Wang family is very excited, "You know the old Hu family in our village, the ancestors are all in the same lineage, and only one male baby has been born for several generations." In Hu Gazi's generation, four daughters were born in a row, none of them took a handle, and everyone said that the Hu family might be extinct this time. ”

The second aunt of the Wang family said dryly, took out a water bag from the basket and drank water, and continued: "I don't think about it, ten years ago, Hu Gazi's daughter-in-law had another daughter-in-law, and she gave birth to a pair of twins in her life, and they all brought handles. ”

"Everyone knows about this, the Hu family set off a string of firecrackers for this firecracker back then, and it's hard to know it." The sister-in-law of the Li family said, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

Xia Yinghan looked at the look in the eyes of the Li family's sister-in-law, and her face showed a hint of understanding. In ancient times, it was important to pay attention to many sons and many blessings, one twin or even one child with multiple births, which were all known as auspicious, not to mention twin male babies.

"Now that ten years have passed, and the two boys are almost ten years old, the old Hu family wants to send the two children to study." After a pause, the second aunt of the Wang family said again: "But you also know a little about the situation of the old Hu family, there are few men in the family, and there are not a few acres of land, so I usually rely on Hu Gazi and his father to help people do odd jobs in the town to earn some money, and it is difficult for the family to eat enough, let alone send the children to study." ”

"What is the rarity of this old Hu family sending their children to study?" The sister-in-law of the Li family asked with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, sister-in-law of the Li family, don't worry, what I'll say later is the point."

"The old Hu family thinks about letting the two babies go to school no matter what, but they are reluctant to sell their daughters, so they want to let their daughters go to the rich man's house to be a subordinate who signs a living deed, and they can exchange for a good nationality in the future and will not delay marrying."

"No, today a Hu Gazi came to the town with his eldest daughter to look for someone's teeth, and I happened to see it."

"Renyazi said that it is not difficult to find someone who signs a living deed, but everyone has a baby who is about ten years old, and the three daughters of Hu Gazi are all in their teens, so it is not easy to find them now. Hu Gazi was immediately anxious when he heard this, his daughter couldn't find a job to do, and the two boys in the family couldn't study. ”

"Ren Yazi saw that Hu Gazi was in a hurry to find it, so he said to him, ......" Speaking of this, the second aunt of the Wang family stopped.

When the sister-in-law of the Li family was listening hard, she hurriedly asked: "What did Renyazi say, you say it quickly!" ”

"Ren Yazi said that he has such a family in his hand to recruit a girl about fifteen years old to work, and he signed a living deed, but ah, this living deed has no time limit."

"What? If there is no expiration date, won't it become a dead contract? The sister-in-law of the Li family said in surprise.

"Yes, Hu Gazi also asked people about Yazi, and then people Yazi said that people signed a living deed, and the time limit should be decided by people, when people say that they will release people, and when the contract will end."

"Is there anyone else doing this job? If the family doesn't let go for the rest of their lives, isn't it equivalent to signing a death contract? ”

"Isn't that what you say? So although the family's salary was very good, Hu Gazi didn't agree on the spot, saying that he had to go home and think about it. ”

"That's a strange thing!"

"If you want me to say, there must be something greasy in this errand, I don't tell you where to do the work or what kind of work I do, I have to wait until I sign the contract to tell it, you say, will it be to trick people into there?" Speaking of this, the voice of the second aunt of the Wang family couldn't help but be a little lower.

"You mean...... Where is Lan Street?" The sister-in-law of the Li family exclaimed in amazement.

The second aunt of the Wang family gave the Li family's sister-in-law an affirmative look.

Before the two could continue to exchange their views on this matter, Yongping Village arrived, and the two quickly got out of the car.
