Chapter 51: He Wants to Be a Rich Man
After his thin wife left, Zhang Sangui put down the ledger and went to the room of the girl in yellow, which was reserved for the return of the usual guests or the son who was studying carpentry in the countryside.
He didn't need his wife to say that he would take the girl to buy a new dress, and he was ready to take her out into the street now.
But he didn't really plan to let his son go to school, he always thought that he didn't have a lot of money, he shouldn't spend money in these places, he should save more money to make the rice shop's business bigger, maybe in the future he will become the largest grain merchant in Licheng and even the whole mainland?
He didn't inherit anything from his dead father at the beginning, and he was able to have the current rice shop because he got up early and worked in the dark to earn it.
So much so that when his father was seriously ill, he didn't spend a penny to ask a Lang Zhong to take a look, looking at the thin coffin that could almost transmit light, the dead old man who gave birth to him and raised him, he didn't feel sad, and even had some perverted pleasure.
The damn old man took all the ancestral property of the family and gambled it all and threw it on the white bodies of the young girls in the alley before leaving this world.
Perhaps under the influence of his dead father, he was stingy with everyone, but generous with himself.
But he doesn't like to gamble, and he runs this small rice shop with great care. Probably because his wife was black and thin, he liked the white and tender young girls in the alley with a paranoid and crazy mentality.
So after making a lot of money, he also threw a lot of money on those young and tender women like his father, so he never became the largest grain merchant in Licheng, and he could only guard this small rice shop.
When he saw the girl in yellow who had fainted at the door of the rice shop, he insisted on rescuing the girl back to the house, and after learning that the girl had forgotten everything before, he had an idea.
So at noon, he went to the alley, and the girls who came to Qingyuan in the small courtyard with the red lacquered wooden door were not his purpose in the first place, but just to do it easily, or was it an unexpected joy?
So he drove his skinny wife back to her parents' house.
So he planned to take the girl in yellow to buy a new dress, and he also planned to let the jewelry seller rouge dress up the girl well.
The girl had no jewelry on her except for a dress that seemed to be of good texture and a cyan bracelet on her wrist, nothing decent or presentable.
"Girl, do you remember what your name is", Zhang Sangui sat on the edge of the bed without a little hesitation and asked the girl.
He confirmed it one last time, just in case.
The girl did not wash her body after sweating in the rain and fever, but there was no smell of sweat, and the covered bedding instead exuded a faint aroma like an orchid.
Zhang Sangui took two deep breaths.
Seeing him sitting on the edge of the bed, the girl instinctively felt a little uneasy, and curled up her whole body and moved to the innermost position against the wall.
The girl shook her head, she didn't talk much, and it seemed that she was a little stupid.
Zhang Sangui no longer hesitated, and asked the girl to get up and follow him to the street.
He bought the girl a new set of clothes, and bought some cheap little jewelry, but the girl would not want to wear them, so he lied to her and said that he would take her home in the evening.
Thinking that I could go home, I looked at my dirty clothes and didn't object.
Although she doesn't remember where her home is.
The girl was taken to the alley by Zhang Sangui in the night.
At night, the alley is no longer deserted during the day, and people come and go in the alley.
But most of the people who passed through the alley were men in a hurry. The facades of the large and small courtyards in the alleys are all lit with red lanterns, and the lanterns have their names written on them: some are called Xiuniang, some are called Chunhuayuan, and so on.
From time to time, there is a sound of ushering in and sending at the door, which is very lively.
In this alley, there is actually a fireworks alley.
Zhang Sangui saw that the girl didn't remember who she was and where she came from, so he got up and sold her here.
In the afternoon, he supported his thin wife back to her parents' house, but he was afraid that she would know that she had ruined her own affairs.
That's a stupid woman, she will definitely object, and when the news comes out, she is afraid that not only will she not get a large sum of money, but she will also suffer a lawsuit.
The government is still very strict about human trafficking, and the women in the courtyard in the alley have all been officially identified, and some of the unknown ones are brought in at night, and then the people in the courtyard naturally have a way to rearrange the new legal identity of those women.
At this time, a green cow watched all this coldly in the night in the distance, and did not stop it.
This is the path chosen by the girl herself, and the green cow will only appear when necessary.
For example, when the life of a young girl is threatened.
"Yo, it turned out to be Master Zhang," at the gate of the courtyard where Zhang Sangui came in the afternoon, there were already two girls with heavy makeup, holding a pink silk scarf in their hands, throwing winks at the men passing by the road from time to time, and their voices greeted sweetly.
Seeing Zhang Sangui, the two girls greeted them, their writhing waists were like green willows by the river, the silk scarf in their hands gently wiped the sweat on Zhang Sangui's face, and the other hand held Zhang Sangui's arm one by one, and the whole body was pasted up, intentionally or unintentionally, the man's hand was gently touched on the bulge on the chest.
Zhang Sangui was in a hurry, and he was also a little anxious in his heart, and his face was sweating.
"Master Zhang, you haven't been here for a few days, and your sisters miss it so much. Zhang Sangui grabbed a handful of his palm on the bulge on the girl's chest, put it in front of his nose and sniffed, "Niannian, master, didn't I just come here at noon today?
The demeanor is frivolous, and it looks like it usually looks like when you are at home.
"Oh, master, you lighten it, it hurts people," the girl called Niannian's body writhed more and more cheerfully, and her voice was sweet and glutinous: "It's been a long time since noon, and the slave family hates to stay with Master Zhang all the time." ”
The two girls are the girls who just came from Qingyuan in the courtyard.
"Hahaha......", Zhang Sangui laughed, although the girl's words didn't know how many people she had said, but it was still happy to listen to them.
Zhang Sangui laughed a few times, lowered his voice and said in the ear of one of the girls: "You lead me to find Sister Hua first, and then the master will accompany you after finishing the business today, and I won't leave tonight." ”
Sister Hua is the old bustard in the yard, or the boss.
Nian Nian found that the girl who was following Zhang Sangui flashed gloom in her eyes for a moment, and then smiled her eyes into a thin slit: "Yo, this sister is really pretty, come and take a look at my sister," let go of Zhang Sangui, took the girl's hand, and made an indescribable affection: "Tsk, tsk, look at this eyebrow, this eye, and this face, in the yard, which of the sisters in the alley is better, I'm afraid I want to become the reddest girl in the alley." ”
Zhang Sangui's face changed greatly, and he grabbed it and shook it off Nian Nian and took the girl's hand: "What are you talking nonsense?"
The girl saw Nian Nian coming to pull her, instinctively resisting and disgusting, and when she said this, she faintly felt that it was wrong.
She's just lost and forgotten something from before, and she's not really stupid.
From Nian Nian's wandering gaze, she could see that it was not bad, "Didn't you say to bring me to meet my family?"
She asked Zhang Sangui.
Zhang Sangui was a little anxious: "Yes, yes, you used to live in this courtyard, you will remember it when you go in and take a look." ”
As long as he enters this courtyard, he can get a large sum of silver, and the people in the courtyard have a way to do the rest of the matter.
As long as the girl is in the yard, he will not come when he wants to come in the future, which is why he sat on the edge of the bed at noon and finally did not extend his sinful hand to the girl.
It was in this way that he lived a few more hours.
Nian Nian looked at it, knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, sister, don't you remember me? I am your sister, we grew up together." ”
The other girl chimed in.
But these girls couldn't believe a word of it.
"But I don't remember you. The girl said.
Zhang Sangui interjected at the right time: "Two days ago, you had a high fever in the rain, I thought I couldn't remember it for a while, but I remembered it after two days." ”
Nian Nian and the other girl nodded hurriedly, like pounding garlic.
"Then you said we grew up together, what is my name?" the girl asked.
Nian Nian knew what the girl's name was, and she couldn't speak for a while.
The girl is not stupid, and after waking up, except for her body being a little weak, she instinctively feels that the place she wants to go is not here, and there is no one she is looking for here.
Although she didn't know what the place was in these courtyards in the alley, she was a little disgusted in her heart, disgusted with these people, this place.
Disgusted, she turned around and walked out of the alley.
Zhang Sangui grabbed her, and there was a sound of da, da from the other end of the alley, and Qingniu walked out of the night.
"Let go," said the girl.
The light of the red lantern in front of the door was reflected on Zhang Sangui's face through the paper covering it, and his face looked a little hideous.
"Let Lao Tzu in," Zhang Sangui pushed the girl into the courtyard door.
Seeing the poor dagger, Zhang Sangui tore off the hypocrisy he had been showing.
The girl struggled desperately, looking at the deep courtyard inside the door and the bustling crowd inside, instinctively giving her an emotion that she had never felt before.
This is an emotion called fear.
She is no longer the same person she used to be, and when the bright yellow dress faded into green clothes, the power that originally belonged to her was gone.
She is just an ordinary girl now, and naturally she will be afraid.
The open red-lacquered wooden door glows pink, like a monstrous beast with its wide open mouth in the nightlit alley.
Inside the door, there were two rows of big men standing in the shape of a giant beast, two rows of fangs in the mouth of the giant beast.
Seeing that there was a dispute here, the girls who were there to solicit guests at the entrance of the same small courtyard across the street just glanced at it and looked back, and the people who were hurrying on the side of the street only looked up and lowered their heads and continued to walk their own way.
The girl named Nian Nian and the other girl clasped their hands to their chests, their eyes full of mockery.
For them, for the girl across the street, all this is accustomed, and it is not surprising.
Those pedestrians who pass by in a hurry, no one wants to bother with such a thing.
In the struggle, the girl fell to the ground, the dirt on the ground made her beautiful face, and one sleeve was torn off by Zhang Sangui, revealing the arm that bullied the frost and snow inside.
