With Dong Yan's narration, Xia Jin learned that it turned out that the Dong family was originally a merchant in the west of the city, and the family opened a few silk shops in the city, with a prosperous business and a solid family.

But I didn't want to fly to cause trouble, one day someone was messing around when buying goods in the silk shop, making disrespectful remarks, and patting Dong's father during the argument, Dong's father was angry, and couldn't help but return him with a punch, and the man suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.

Businessmen pay the most attention to harmony and wealth. Whatever the reason, if this person dies in the shop, the Dong family's silk shop will have to close. Dong's father panicked, and hurriedly invited Lang Zhong to come and see, and when the man woke up, he apologized again, and gave him two horses of silk unique to the Dong family's store at his request, and Haosheng sent him away.

But she didn't want to, and after a few days, a woman went to the official with tears and tears, saying that her husband had come to the city to buy silk, but he had never returned.

As soon as the yamen checked, they found the Dong family's silk shop, and asked about their age and appearance, which happened to match what the woman said, and it was the same person.

On that day, the man had an argument with Dong's father, and was beaten and fell to the ground, which was seen by many neighbors and idlers, and Lang Zhong, who saw a doctor, could also testify. And the yamen checked around and found that after he was sent away by Dong's father that day, no one saw him again.

The case has been found here, and Dong's father is the most suspected. A subordinate of Dong's family secretly reported to the officer, saying that on the night of the dispute between the two, he saw Dong's father digging a pit in the backyard in the middle of the night. I don't know what to bury. The official dug in the place pointed out by the servant, and sure enough, he found a corpse. The corpse's face was disfigured, but it was wearing the clothes of the missing person. Buried with the corpse were two pieces of silk, exactly the same as the one that Dong's father gave to the man to atone for his crimes.

Now that the human and material evidence are all there, Dong's father was arrested and put in prison, and he was beheaded in the autumn of last year, and the family paid the deceased with all the money and property.

Dong's mother was already in poor health, and her family suddenly suffered a catastrophe, and her husband died unjustly. Within two months of Dong's father being beheaded, he fell ill and died. The Dong family's money was paid to the deceased. also dotted the yamen, begged grandpa to sue grandma everywhere, and spent a lot of money one after another. Dong's mother was sick and had no money to support the funeral. The relatives had already been hiding far away, so Dong Yan had to sell his house and rent a small courtyard in the west of the city to live with Dong Fang.

And this series of blows, where can Dong Yan, who has always been protected under the wings of his parents, be able to support? After burying his mother and settling his sister, he himself fell ill. The landlord was afraid that Dong Yan would die in his house, so he drove the brother and sister out. Dong Fang had to take his brother to such an abandoned and dilapidated place, and in desperation, he wanted to steal money to treat his brother again, so he met Xia Jin and the young man.

After listening to Dong Yan's words. Xia Jin couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time.

The experience of the Dong family brothers and sisters evoked memories buried deep in her heart.

In a previous life, before the age of eighteen. She also has a happy home. She studied medicine with her grandfather in China, and her parents did scientific research in universities abroad. But she didn't want her father's scientific research results to arouse the jealousy of her peers, and a series of conspiracies unfolded around her parents, which eventually caused her father to be shot by the underworld forces and her mother to be humiliated and died. Grandpa, who was already old, died of a heart attack when he heard the bad news.

She buried her grandfather. So he went to the United States alone to secretly investigate the matter. Finally let the murderer who framed her parents die under her gun. Since then, she has wandered the world with human lives on her back, and finally became a doctor in an international mercenary group nicknamed "Wild Wolf".

The experience of the Dong family brothers and sisters is similar to her.

She forcibly suppressed the discomfort surging in her heart, and asked Dong Yan, "Now, what are your plans?" ”

The Dong family brothers and sisters glanced at each other.

Dong Fang bit his lip and did not speak. Naturally, she listened to her brother for everything.

Dong Yan pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, you have to live." My father and mother are gone, and I, as an elder brother, can't let my sister ...... My brother can't even eat a full meal. If Xia Gongzi's family wants to buy someone, I am willing to follow Xia Gongzi's side. If the Xia family doesn't need to add a subordinate, Xia Gongzi has a serious family that he is familiar with, can he help me introduce him? My brother...... The brothers were grateful. ”

After speaking, he wiped his forehead and stared at Xia Jin tightly.

He almost missed his mouth just now, and he was very worried about what Xia Jin would hear. Dong Fang inherited his mother's beauty and restored his identity as a woman, for fear that he would cause trouble. He doesn't have any strength now, and he can't protect his sister well.

Dong Yan tried his best to cover it up, and Xia Jin naturally would not expose Dong Fang's identity. And she suspects that Dong Fang's Fang is not the "Fang" of Fang Yuan, but should be the fragrant "Fang". However, whether Dong Fang is a man or a woman, and what his name is, has little to do with her.

She asked, "You mean, you're willing to sell yourself as a servant?" ”

Dong Yan nodded, and added: "I can sell myself as a servant alone, I ...... My brother doesn't sell! ”

"Brother!" Dong Fang heard that his brother wanted to sell himself, but he didn't sell her, and his tears were about to fall.

"Selling yourself as a servant, you have a monthly amount of silver, and it is not a problem to support your brother alone." Xia Jin said, "But have you thought about it, after selling yourself as a servant, you will live in the master's house." Your brother lives outside alone, can you rest assured? ”

"This ......" Dong Yan was a little dumbfounded.

He just wanted to keep his sister from being wronged.

If Dong Fang sells himself as a slave, it will be a problem to marry a flat-headed common man in the future, and the only way out is to be a concubine, otherwise the master can only match a child, and the children born are all slaves. Left and right are not good endings. And stay outside, wait for her to grow up in two years, choose a good family to marry, and he can be regarded as worthy of his dead parents.

He didn't think about how Dong Fang had spent the past two years alone.

"That'...... So what to do? He scratched his head.

"Brother, I will sell myself into slavery with you." Dong Fangdao. She didn't want her brother to make a sacrifice alone.

"That's not going to work!" Dong Yan refused categorically.

Xia Jin saw that the brother and sister were arguing with each other, and sat aside quietly without speaking.

In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple. After Dong Yan signed the deed of sale, as long as she sent him to work in the newly opened restaurant, he would be able to be with Dong Fang, and he would not have to be with her or Xia Qi, or be confined in the Xia family's old mansion and unable to move.

But she wasn't going to say it now.

Although Dong Yan knows a few words and is a businessman, he has a bit of business acumen, and he has to say two things; Dong's father has an impulsive and irritable temperament, and Dong Yan's temperament has to be seen again. The most important thing is that Dong Yan's original family background is even better than that of the Xia family, and he is the only male in the Dong family, he is very favored, although he has suffered bad luck, the arrogance in his heart is still there. If you send him to the restaurant at the beginning, let him feel that she is a restaurant that he relies on Dong Yan to run, I am afraid that he will not be willing to succumb to her in the future.

Only by making sure that he really has this ability and is suitable for business, and then spending some effort to polish off his arrogance, show some ability to convince him, and sign the death deed of selling his body, can she use him with confidence.

Not everyone can be her Xia Jin's subordinates, even if they have the same experience as her.

"I've been out for a long time, so I'll go back first." She stood up.

Dong Yan and Dong Fang immediately stopped talking.

Dong Yan stood up uneasily, opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask anything, and stood there with his mouth pursed a little hurt.

Dong Fang bit his lip and looked at Xia Jin, also looking like he wanted to say something.

Xia Jin naturally knew what they wanted to ask, and said to Dong Yan: "My family is a small family, and now it is divided from the mansion, and now I live in a small courtyard in the west of the city. I don't know if you can look at such a master's house. You think about it for the night, think about it, and when I come back tomorrow, we'll sign the deed again. ”

After speaking, she glanced at Dong Fang: "Dong Fang, you don't have to worry here. At that time, Dong Fang can live with me at home, and my family can hire her to do things without signing a deed of sale. ”

Saying that, without waiting for the Dong family brothers and sisters to say anything, she went out.

Back at home, Shu Shi has returned. Xia Jin avoided the subordinates, and when he quietly went to the back window of the west wing, he saw that the calamus was spinning in place in the room, and he seemed to be in a hurry. In order to prevent the iris from screaming in shock, she tapped on the window, and when the iris came to see her, one jumped into the house.

"Girl, why did you come back at this time? But the slave and maid are in a hurry. Calamus ran over and said angrily.

"No one asked, did you?" Xia Jin looked out the door.

"Why not? When the wife came back, she asked you, and the slave said that you were asleep. Mrs. was not at ease, so she came in to take a look, and saw that the young master was lying on the bed, touching his head and not having a fever, so she left with confidence. ”

Speaking of this, she pouted: "Mrs. asked about the young master again, and Sister Zisu said that the young master was reading." His wife was afraid to disturb him, so she prevaricated. ”

"Good work." Xia Jin patted her and went straight into the back room.

Xia Qi was reading a book, and when he saw her coming in, he didn't speak, only glared at her with his eyes. Where did Xia Jin pay attention to him? He took his clothes and went to another room, and changed his clothes under the service of the calamus.

"Girl, you are like this, it is not a long-term solution." Calamus Road.

After getting along for these days, she also knew Xia Jin's temperament. As long as you are faithful, you can say anything. Therefore, she gradually became bolder, and occasionally dared to make a joke or say something of advice in front of Xia Jin.

"Well, you're right." Xia Jin nodded, "Find a chance, I will talk to my mother well, and I won't embarrass you." ”

Calamus just casually persuaded her, not hoping that her girl would listen to it. After all, for so long, the girl has been hiding from her wife. Now that the old man is staying in Luofu, the future is uncertain, and the wife is upset, it is really not the time to talk about this.

But I didn't want the girl, but I decided to have a showdown with my wife at this time.

The thought swirled around in her mind, and she felt uneasy, and said tentatively, "It doesn't seem like the time to say it now. Why don't you tell your wife when the master comes back? ”

Xia Jin laughed, patted her hand and said, "It's okay, I have my own measure." ”

After packing up, Xia Qi changed back into men's clothes and let him out, and Xia Jin went to find Shu's.
