Early the next morning, Li Li cleaned up a little after breakfast, and put a hundred taels of silver tickets on his body, so he took An Yichen out with satisfaction.

It's just that the scene they saw after going out made people like them who are used to seeing big scenes stop for a moment, and their footsteps stopped at the same time.

Bai Fu'an broke out in a cold sweat, constantly reasoning with the villagers, and Li Li, who had a noisy voice, couldn't help frowning.

When the villagers saw the two of them appear, they all excitedly pushed Bai Fu'an away, and immediately said: "Mrs. Squire, I heard that there is a need for girls who can do rough work in the Squire's Mansion, and I happen to have a child of the age at home, who is smart, clever and brave. ”

"My eldest girl is also capable, she can pick dung and farm, and she can also plant rice and harvest wheat."

"And the children of my family, they all move neatly and bear hardships and stand hard work, and the squire's wife should use them."

“……”

Bai Fuan, who was forced to be squeezed out of the crowd: "......"

It wasn't until he heard their gossip clearly that Li Li finally knew why they dared to surround the gate of the squire's mansion early in the morning, it turned out that they wanted to find a 'decent' job for the girl boy in the family.

An Yichen had already turned his head when he found the person outside the door, there was no expression on his face, he looked cold, the scar under his eyes was extremely conspicuous in the sunlight, he didn't even need to speak, and successfully stopped a group of people who wanted to mess around with his expression.

After they finished speaking, Li Li did not have the slightest impatience on her face, but with a soft message, perhaps because she was too indifferent, this calm was passed on to the rest of the people, when she pressed her palm down slightly, the villagers seemed to have agreed, and they all stopped the noise.

"Folks, I know that your children are very capable, smart, hard-working, but this time we want a slave who has signed a death contract, and none of your family is suitable."

"In these days, as long as there is a mouthful of food at home, who can bear to sell their own flesh and blood to be a slave? Once the death contract is signed, life and death are not up to them, their life or death is all a matter of the master's words, can you bear it? ”

Maybe in a place she didn't know, someone was frantically selling their children for money to get a bite to eat, but that was only a minority, and most of them couldn't be ruthless.

And in Bai'an Village, everyone can eat a hot meal, even the poorest family can ensure that the whole family has food and clothing, who wants to bring the children of the family to suffer this sin?

Even if they have not officially read the book, they know that once they sign the death contract, even if they are killed by the rod, and the death is not clear, as long as the master does not pursue it, the government will not come forward to take care of it.

No matter how many children they have been raised for many years, who can bear to send them on such a road?

Once you enter the house, you will be a slave for life.

This is what Li Li wants to express, if they can accept it, she doesn't mind buying their children, anyway, who will be the slave or not?

Listening to Li Li's unwavering words, the villagers were even more silent, obviously weighing the pros and cons of this matter, looking at her on the steps of the extremely soft, finally someone boldly stood up and said tentatively: "Madame is kind-hearted, she shouldn't kill the slave casually, right?" ”

The person who asked this sentence succeeded in making the people around him feel uncomfortable, and after listening to Li Li's explanation just now, most of them had already dismissed the plan of sending their children to the Squire's Mansion, and some of them even wanted to be opportunistic, depending on the attitude of the Squire's wife.

Li Li smiled slightly, shook his head, and said to the person who asked him: "Since I became a family, more than a hundred people have been convicted and died directly or indirectly at my hands. ”
