Pushing open the door of the east wing, Qi was sitting on a chair in the middle, leaning on Zhong Dashan's arms and crying softly. Seeing Qi Ning coming in, he stood up embarrassedly: "Ning Ning, your uncle knows that he is wrong, so you will ......"

"Aunt Qi, you tidy up all your clothes, come with me, the eldest girl is also sorted out, and you have all the silver."

"Where are you going?" Qi panicked.

"Don't say anything, just follow me. I'll take you somewhere first, and I'll talk about that later. Qi Ning sat down and watched Qi Shi and the eldest girl hesitantly pack up their things, they didn't have anything originally, a few clothes still came to Qi Ning to make them here, and the two little bags were packed.

"Everything?" Qi Ning didn't say much, turned around and walked out: "Come with me." ”

"Ning girl, are you trying to drive us away? We are your elders. Don't forget, if we hadn't taken you in, you'd have died. Zhong Dashan couldn't pretend anymore, and asked angrily.

"Shhhh Qi Ning didn't want to argue with shameless people. Holding the big girl with one hand, and pulling the Qi family out of the street with the other, waiting for Zhong Dashan to follow out. Qi Ning locked the door and led everyone all the way north.

"Sister Ning, where are we going?"

Qi Ning didn't speak, just laughed.

After walking a few hundred meters along the silent street, I came to the door of an inn at the intersection of West Street and East and West Streets, and the young man in the store was getting on the board. Seeing Qi Ning hurriedly greeted: "Why is Miss Qi going so late?" ”

"Little second brother, these three people are my relatives, you help me open a room, let them live first."

The shopkeeper and the two looked like each other, and they didn't ask much: "Okay, come with me." "Lead a group of people into a guest room in the backyard;" Is this okay? ”

"That's fine, thank you, little second brother." Qi Ning said and handed over a few pennies as a reward. Xiao Er closed the door and went out with a smile.

"Ning Ning doesn't have to spend any money, let your uncle sleep in the big girl's house tonight, and I and the big girl will squeeze in." Qi's heart beat a drum, and Zhong Dashan also hurriedly echoed: "Uncle is a rough man, he can sleep anywhere, and he doesn't need to stay in a guest house." ”

"Aunt Qi, I am grateful to you for taking in and taking care of you that day, I will not stop you if you are willing to continue to live with him, but my temple can't accommodate these great gods of the Zhong family, I will send you here today, I will pay for the house, tomorrow you will go home to live or find a job in the city, you have the final say, you will not go there after I am there." If you still remember a little bit about my friendship with you, don't say anything you shouldn't say. After Qi Ning finished speaking, he took out five taels of silver and threw it on the table, and was ready to leave.

"Sister Ning, I'm not leaving, I'm going to live with you." The big girl grabbed Qi Ning's sleeve and didn't let go.

"Big girl, you have a father, it's really inconvenient for me to take care of you alone. If it's okay in the future, don't come to me. After speaking, he ignored Zhong Dashan, who was scolding, and Qi Shi, who was crying at the top of his throat, threw off his sleeves and left.

Until he went home and lay down, Qi Ning was still angry for a while, this is really not that he is ruthless and does not know how to be grateful, it is that the Qi family himself is not angry, and the wolves of the Zhong family really dare not mess with it, once they stick to the trouble, it will be over.

Besides, even if Zhong Dashan is driven out tonight, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, if he comes back to entangle, the Qi family will resent himself if he is not sure, Zhong Dashan is definitely coming for Qi Ning's shop, and Qi Ning also understands that Qi has that character, even if he instructs, Fang Zi's secret is enough to keep. At the beginning, the Zhong family drove out without caring about the sick and weak Qi Ning, and now it is a report and a report, but Qi Ning is not relaxed in his heart, the eldest girl is a pity, and he can't learn anything good after following this family.

Qi Ning, who had slept unsteadily all night, got up and applied a little puffy face with well water, took a deep breath, lifted the pot and opened the door.

When the wave of guests left one after another in the morning, Qi Ning closed the doors and windows, and when he came out of the street door, he didn't look at the three members of the Zhong family who were standing under the opposite wall, and walked through the alley to the family. The history of the dental shop has been around since the pre-Qin period, and the dental shop was legal in this era, which is related to the business conditions of the society at that time. Science and technology are underdeveloped, and communication and transportation are relatively backward. Without the Internet and telephone, businessmen can only go through a relatively professional dental shop if they want to understand the local customs and business conditions. The tooth shop eats the buyer and eats the seller, and the two parties receive a commission. The business of the dental store is not only the sale of houses and the introduction of business, but also the sale of human beings, those sinners who have been raided and sold by the government and the poor who have no food to eat and sell themselves are all traded through the dental shop. Qi Ning didn't want to buy people, but now he couldn't keep his store busy, and he didn't dare to hire any more people.

Seeing Qi Ning outside the door with his head raised and trying to make out the words on the plaque, a man in his forties and fifties, with a thin body and a goatee, greeted him.

"Is this girl going to buy something or sell something?"

"Uncle is polite, I want to ask if this tooth shop sells people?"

"Girl, please, I don't know what kind of person the girl wants to sell?" Ya Yu relied on looking at people's eyes, and saw Qi Ning casually dressed in plain clothes, but neat and neat, definitely not from selling himself, and he was busy and enthusiastic to the house.

"I opened a shop and wanted to buy two clean and capable women."

"Sit down, girl, I'll bring someone over and let you pick and choose." Yayu asked Qi Ning to sit down, and went to the backyard to bring a dozen people over. These people were all ragged and vegetable. The old is old, the little is small. There was also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who looked very frivolous.

"I opened a food shop and wanted to find two clean and good cooks to go back and help with the work. Which of you can do it? Qi Ning looked at a group of women with their heads down and three and a half children, and took the initiative to ask.

"Girl, I know how to cook. It turned out that everyone in our village asked me to help with the cooking. My daughter has been doing laundry and cooking since she was a child. A woman in her forties raised her head and looked at Qi Ning, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Uncle, what is the price of these two people?" Qi Ning looked at the woman and the girl beside her with satisfaction. Although the clothes of the two people are shabby, they are neatly washed and sewn. It looks like a Lisso.

"Girl, she also has a son, and when she came, she said that she would sell it to the whole family."

"Girl, my son is already able to work, and he doesn't have much to eat, so please buy it back." As she spoke, the woman pulled out the boy behind her and pushed him in front of Qi Ning. The little guy kept the lid of the pot, lowered his head in a panic, and rubbed his two cloth shoes with leaky toes rubbing each other.

"I can take you all back, but my work there is not easy, I am busy from morning to night, and if you don't do a good job, I will send you back." Qi Ning looked at the woman seriously.

"Girl, just rest assured, the people are not busy from morning to night, you just have to tell if you have something, if you don't do well, you can scold and sell it." The woman knelt down with the two children and said earnestly.

"Get up quickly, don't kneel later. I'm going to have you guys. Qi Ning couldn't stand this, and immediately relented.

By the time Qi Ning came back with the mother and son who had bought it, the Zhong family had already left. Qi Ning is actually not a cold-blooded and ruthless person in his bones, he often went to the welfare home to volunteer during the holidays in his previous life, and he also likes children very much. It's just that the Zhong family has made her cold from the beginning, these days the Qi family has cried in big things, wiped tears in small things, and also worn out Qi Ning's patience to the slightest, so they drove them away mercilessly. Regardless of whether the Zhong family really had the idea of beating her shop, she would not make trouble for herself anymore

The three of these mothers and sons, whose hometown is also from Ji County, are only a few dozen miles away from their original hometown. There was a catastrophe last year, and I really couldn't survive, so I took the child out to find a way to live, because I couldn't find a job, so I had no choice but to go to the dental store to sell myself. The woman Zhao is thirty-five, she is a loyal and honest rural woman who looks very good, the man happens to be surnamed Qi died a few years ago, the eldest daughter was sold to others as a daughter-in-law on the road, the second daughter is called Huaihua this year, and there is a son named Tie Niu who is ten years old this year, and he is a smart and talkative boy. Qi Ning originally planned to buy two adults to work, but she couldn't bear the woman's begging, so she bought the three of them together.
