Chapter 250: Six Children of the Lian Family
"Okay, just do as you say, but these children are not my family's slaves, and I will find a way to buy people." Cui'er looked at the children in front of her with ignorant expressions and said with a smile.
Cui'er said this with good intentions, thinking that these children were free, and if they lived in their own house for a while, they would be taken away by the family who came over, but they didn't expect that as soon as Cui'er's words fell, the older ones among the children were actually frightened, as if they were about to be abandoned.
"Madam, we are homeless, please leave us behind!" Chai Jin is the biggest one among the children, when a few people performed just now, Chai Jin didn't get involved, only let his little sister participate, and now he heard that Cui'er didn't mean to accept himself and others, so he was a little panicked, walked two steps in front of Cui'er, bowed and saluted.
Chai Jin is very popular in Cui'er's family because he is old and sensible, but now seeing him bowing down with a humble posture, his voice is still trembling slightly when he speaks, Cui'er's heart is a little uncomfortable.
When she looked at the children in the yard again, their faces looked like they had been abandoned, which touched Cui'er's heart slightly, was it her wishful thinking to give the children freedom, but made them uncomfortable?
"Alas, I'm also for your good, you are still young, you don't know the value of freedom, I do this, I don't want one day when you grow up and become your own children, regret today's decision......" Cui'er sighed and said, looking at the children's immature faces, she felt that her heart was very entangled.
Do you want to keep these children as slaves? Cui'er's heart was a little messy, originally when these children first came. Cui'er planned to train them to be her own domestic slaves, but later thought that they might be brought back by their families, and she couldn't bear to enslave such a young child to work, so she dispelled this idea.
Now looking at this yard, there are eight children, all of them looking at themselves pitifully. Whether it was a pleading face, or a look of innocence and ignorance, Cui'er's heart seemed to be crushed by something, heavy and painful.
"Chai Jin, are you willing to stay in the Lian family as a subordinate?" Cui'er looked at the thin but stubborn young man in front of her, who had stayed in Lian's house for so long. His originally pale face gradually turned bloody, and although his body was still very thin, it was no longer crumbling, as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind.
"You must know that if you are a subordinate, although you can be well fed and clothed. But they still have to work every day. If you don't redeem yourself, you will serve people's lives for a lifetime, and the children born after becoming married will also become children of the family, and all generations will be slaves, even if this is the case, are you willing to stay in the family and be a descendant? Cui'er presented the pros and cons of being a slave to several children one by one, and hesitated in her heart. asked solemnly at Chai Jin.
"Yes, ma'am!" Chai Jin looked at Cui'er with a very firm expression. "Madame also knows that I am the oldest of these children, and I also have my mother and sister, but even so, it is difficult for me to find a way to survive outside, even if I am complained by the children later. It's better than being starved to death right now...... Madame, it's all about being alive. ”
Although Chai Jin knew in his heart that he was sold into slavery. It's the subordinates who are beaten and scolded, but life and death are the most critical. And. With Uncle Zhong, an excellent subordinate who is very respected by the main family, Chai Jin is very confident, as long as he works hard, he believes that he will become the second Uncle Zhong in the future and become an indispensable right and left hand of the main family.
"Okay, go and call your mother too, if your family agrees, then your family of three will be my family members from now on." Cui'er looked at Chai Jin's determined expression, and finally nodded.
"Thank you, ma'am!" Chai Jin looked at Cui'er ecstatically, and hurriedly kowtowed to Cui'er a few times, and was about to go to the courtyard of the teahouse to find his mother, but saw Aunt Chai coming over in a hurry with an excited face.
Aunt Chai's face was full of happiness and joy, holding Chai Jin and Chai Sang's hands, she walked up to Cui'er, knelt on the ground with a puff, and kowtowed to Cui'er three times, "Thank you, madam!" ”
"Get up! In the future, you will be the descendants of my family, and I will naturally not treat you badly, so I will stay here with peace of mind and work hard in the future. Chai Jin followed the master before, and it will be the same in the future, if there is anything you don't understand, you will go to ask Uncle Zhong. Aunt Chai and Chai Sang, let's do things in the inner courtyard, usually I will ask Xiangmo to tell you if you have something, if you don't understand anything, just ask Aunt Zhong. Cui'er watched Chai Jin's family being taken in by herself, and her heart was slightly joyful.
"Yes...... Thank you, ma'am! Chai Jin's mother said gratefully, finally have a stable life, and Chai's aunt's heart is full of joy.
"By the way, since you are selling your body, then you have to write a deed of sale, Chai Jin's child is not bad, I will give two taels of silver, Aunt Chai and Chai Sang, one of them will give one or two silver, which is considered your selling money, this money will be sent to you after signing the deed of sale, let Aunt Zhong send it to you, Aunt Chai, you keep it, and Chai Jin will be older in the future and be able to marry a daughter-in-law, so I will use this money to buy some dowry gifts so that I can get married."
"This ...... This...... Madame has taken us in is a great grace, where do you dare to ask for your silver? Aunt Chai waved her hand again and again, and her yellow and thin face showed a frightened look, as if it was a big rebellion to receive money.
"Aunt Chai, this is all the kindness of the main family, if you feel that you can't go in your heart, you will do things well in the future, don't live up to the heart of the main family, if you refuse, it will not be good!" Aunt Zhong has been crawling in the inner courtyard for many years, so she can naturally see that Cui'er really wants to give this silver, and she is busy persuading Aunt Chai.
"This ...... Is that really the case? Aunt Chai looked at Aunt Zhong suspiciously, then turned her head to look at Cui'er, and saw that she smiled and nodded to herself, not like she was telling a lie, so she gritted her teeth and prepared to come down.
How important silver is, Aunt Chai, who has suffered all her life, naturally knows, Chai Jin's child is already fifteen years old, and in two years, it will be the age to say goodbye. It's useless for me, I used to work hard with the children, but I can only exchange for the food and clothing of the whole family, and I can't save any silver, but now I have these four taels of silver. Not to mention anything else, Chai Jin's marriage can be successfully resolved.
"That's it, thank you ma'am!" Aunt Zhong persuaded with a smile, "Our lady is a bodhisattva, such a good master's house, but you can't find it with a lantern!" ”
"Yes, mother. Let's hurry up and thank you, ma'am! Chai Jin knew what was going on with his mother, so he cheekily pulled his mother to kneel down again, and kowtowed to Cui'er three times, and then retreated to the side with excitement.
Cui'er watched Chai Jin's family's problem solved. Then he turned his gaze to the remaining children in Yadi Village, looking at the pitiful expressions on the faces of those children, some of the children even had some tears on their faces, Cui'er only felt as if her heart was being pinched fiercely, "Do you want to stay here as slaves?" ”
"Yes, please take us in!" The stunned child is the eldest of several children, living these days. A precocious boy who has lived better than himself in the past ten years, and who has suffered a lot of warmth and coldness, naturally knows that staying at Lianjia is his best choice.
Now looking at Chai Jin's family, they have chosen to stay in the Lian family. It strengthened his idea even more, and he hurriedly pulled the children around him to kneel, and kowtowed respectfully to Cui'er according to the rules taught by Aunt Zhong'er, "Please Mrs. take us in!" ”
Cui'er looked at the young children at her feet, and felt pity for their fate. He nodded and replied, "Since you have also decided to stay in the Lian family." That's the people of my family, and each of you will give you a tael of silver to sell your body. Because you are still young, I will keep this money for you, and when you need it, come and tell me. ”
"In the future, Aunt Zhong'er, you will be responsible for teaching these children, they have a very poor background, don't criticize them too harshly." Cui'er turned her head to Aunt Zhong again.
"Madame, rest assured, Aunt Zhong will do her best!" Aunt Zhong was really ecstatic to hear that Cui'er taught these children to herself, her biggest wish after coming to this backer is to get the reuse of her own young lady, and now she is one step closer to her goal, and the smile on Aunt Zhong'er's face is getting brighter and brighter.
"The six of you, you were all called names before, but you don't know what your last name is, tell me, what are your names?" Cui'er looked at the six children who had just been admitted to her own house, the older and sensible children were happy, and the younger children were ignorant and cried when they watched others cry, and laughed when they saw others laughing.
"Mrs. Hui, I don't have a surname, since I was a child, I was called a stunned child, several of them are children from Yadi Village, and they don't know anything about their surnames on weekdays, they all come by nickname!" After being stunned, he held back the sourness in his heart and said.
"Since you don't have a surname, you will be a member of the Lian family when you come to the Lian family, then you will all have the surname Lian in the future, the six of you have lived and died together, and now you are all doing things together, so let's go down the line." Cui'er thought about it and decided to follow the rules of the Ye family and change the surnames of the loyal servants to the same as the main family.
"If you are stunned, you will be called Lian Da, Yingzi is the second, you will be called Lian Erying, Shazi is the third, you will be called Lian Sansha, Luzi is the fourth, you will be called Lian Silu, Meizi is the fifth, you will be called Lian Wumei, Yanzi is the sixth, you will be called Lian Liuyan." Speaking of which, Cui'er's naming kung fu is really not very good, but the children are smiling and laughing, obviously very fond of the new name that has been lined up.
"Thank you, ma'am!" The crisp children's voices rang out, and these six children were officially paid to the Lian family today.
The children left under the leadership of Aunt Zhong'er, and after a while, Aunt Zhong got back a stack of deeds of sale, and the three members of the Chai family also had six children.
A total of nine deed of sale are put in front of her, Cui'er's heart is a little complicated, in this era when human life is as low as mustard, although these children have become slaves, but it can protect their lives, it can be regarded as a merit, right? (To be continued)
