Chapter 68: Self-Sale

After buying a good person, they went back to their home in the county, and Chen Jun and they also went together, but Aunt Green went back to Chen's house first.

Chen Jun: They finally lifted their confinement, and they didn't want to go back so early. And Li Bokang still wants to discuss some issues with them, and they haven't seen each other for a while, but now that they do, there are still many topics to talk about.

As for the people they bought, they also need me to sort it out and bring it back, and they are a little too broken now. Although they looked fairly clean, their clothes were really tattered.

After all, they have also been in the dental store for a long time, and there are no conditions in the dental store that allow them to take care of themselves. Even if they want to take care of it themselves, they don't have that condition.

Aunt Green told her some things about managing people before leaving, and she also had some experience. She added some of the things she thought should be manageable, and she thought they were quite honest.

And no matter how bad it is, it shouldn't be bad. She has their deed of sale in her hand, and they won't be able to run away when the time comes, so it's not up to them to dispose of it.

In fact, what she thinks is relatively simple, she can live well now, and she won't worry too much about living in the future. She is actually a kind of idea of getting by, whether she has a good life or not is going to live anyway, why worry so much, and add so many troubles to the way.

After arriving home, Li Bokang took Zhou Yi and them to the study to talk, and she took the person they had just bought back to take care of her body. She beckoned them to boil some water to wash them, and told them where the kitchen was and where the well was located.

Then the few of them went to work, and they moved quite quickly, and it didn't take long for the water to be boiled. There was no room for bathing at home, so they were allowed to wash in the kitchen.

Later, she remembered that they had been in the dental store before, and they didn't have any change of clothes. There are some clothes for her and Li Bokang in the county, but I don't know if they can wear them. But that little girl definitely can't wear it, their clothes in the county have only been made in the past few years, and they are too big for her.

But it's too late to buy it now, she also feels a bit wasteful, and there are still a lot of useless fabrics at home. So she went to the room and got two sets of clothes that were a little older than her, and went to the study to find Li Bokang and asked him to find two sets of old clothes to come out.

In fact, it is said that the old clothes are not very old, and those that can be worn in the county will not be particularly old.

Then she took the clothes she found out to the kitchen, where the mother and daughter were washing, and the father and son were still waiting at the door. When the two saw her coming, they hurriedly saluted her, but the salute was not very correct and standardized.

But she didn't mind, so she handed them the clothes in her hand, and then said to them, "These are some sets of old clothes that we wore before, two sets of men's clothes and two sets of women's clothes, you can take them and wear them first." I'll buy the rest for you when you're settled. ”

The father and son were still a little apprehensive, and they couldn't believe it when they heard her say that she was giving them this dress. They could see that it was made of fine cotton, and they had not yet worn it made of fine cotton.

And when they did not take their clothes, they stood still. She raised her voice and said, "Go on." Now they relented, and then hurriedly took the clothes from her hand.

She could see that their expressions were a little frightened, and the two of them lowered their heads as they took the clothes, thinking she was angry. They are afraid of being scolded, afraid that they will be sold again.

They've been in the dental store for a while, and they've seen some people who were bought and then sold, and none of those people ended well. So they're afraid.

She didn't expect that such a small thing could make them think so much, but she didn't know that it was.

When she saw them take the clothes, she said again, "After you have cleaned up, stand in the courtyard, and I have some questions for you in a while." After seeing them nod, she turned and left.

It didn't take long for them to be all packed up and standing in the yard. And she didn't let them stand for long, and when she saw that they were all packed up and came to the yard to stand, she came out.

She first got a general understanding of their situation with them, and then they were members of their family, and she should know something about them.

Later, she learned that they were forced to sell themselves by the old man in the family. The middle-aged man's surname was Tao, he was Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today, and he was the third in their family with six brothers.

The woman, whose real surname was Huang, was his wife, and she was thirty-five years old Chinese New Year's Eve. That boy is their eldest son named Tao Ping'an, who is fourteen years old this year. The girl's name is Tao Hua'er, and she is nine years old this year.

She couldn't believe them when they said that the two children, one was fifteen and one was nineteen years old, and she really couldn't tell that they were so old. She thought that the most of them was seven years old, but she didn't expect them to be so old.

Thinking about the situation they said earlier, she also felt that it was understandable, and if the family could sell themselves, the situation inside would definitely not be good.

Although she knew that she would make them sad to ask this, she still asked, "You don't look like lazy people, you should still be able to get by, why did you think of selling yourself into slavery?" ”

Sure enough, their expressions suddenly became a little sad after she asked.

Later, Huang opened her mouth to answer, she said: "It's because the head of my family was sick at the time, and the family didn't pay for the head of the family's treatment." I also wanted to sell our mother and son, but I thought that it would be sold anyway, so I found someone from the official to sell our whole family. He used the money from the sale of his body to save our master. Saying this, a trace of hatred flashed in Huang's eyes, but it was soon gone.

Hearing this, she had some questions, so she asked again: "Then didn't you bring some of your own things out after selling yourself?" ”

Huang said, "What's the matter, even if they do, they won't let us bring it out." The tone was somewhat sad.

Tao Laosan on the side heard this, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden. If it weren't for him, the three of them, mother and son, would not be like this, and they all blame him for his lack of ability.

The other two children also had a somewhat numb expression, not as agile as they should be at their age.

Seeing them say this, she said: "I also know your current feelings, but there are some things I still want to ask you, which may involve you, but I don't want to leave hidden dangers for the future and cause trouble for us." So I hope you can understand. ”

She did feel that what she asked next might involve them, but she really didn't want to leave the aftermath and cause trouble. They buy people to help, not to ask for trouble.

So she still had to say it in front of her, let them know, while they hadn't settled down yet. If they do cause trouble for their family, they will retreat now.
