Chapter 513: Buying People
Several people went to the town together, and Hu Shangxuan drove the car very steadily, for fear that Jiang Jingxue would feel that it was upset, and now it was different from before.
Directly rushed to Yaxing, Li Yaren greeted him with a smile, "Hu Juren, please come inside, I am tired of the New Year, but this buyer has to be happy with himself, so I can only ask you to come here." ”
This Li Yaren's waist is about to bend to ninety degrees, smiling, I'm afraid that his attitude is not good enough, this is a good man, and he runs a huge mountain villa at home, it is really a relationship, and he will benefit a lot in the future.
Hu Shangxuan said, "Lao Liya took us to see each other. ”
As he spoke, he helped a few people in the car to get down, and Li Yaren hurriedly smiled again, for fear of slacking off.
He led a few of them to the backyard, sent his subordinates to serve tea, Hu Shangxuan said, "Don't say more, let's see the people first, you only look for the one who is diligent and calm." ”
Li Yaren smiled, "That's natural, the villa run by the family, the nobles are ushered in, and it is natural to know the rules of service, if you don't worry about it, offend the nobles, I'm afraid that this little tooth line will also eat and hang." ”
The people at the bottom moved chairs to sit, and a few of them sat down, and Li Yaren arranged for someone to bring out the selected individuals, tie their hands with hemp rope, and put them in a string.
Jiang Jingxue looked at this, and her heart was indeed not good, and she regretted that she came with her today.
This is the status quo of this era, the family is poor, there is no food, or the disaster has been displaced, and if you want to live, you have to live this way.
Even if you let someone buy and sell like a commodity, it is better than dying.
Jiang Jingxue couldn't help but think, if she ended up like that, would she find an old tree to end herself, or grit her teeth and use all means to live, even if it was to sell herself?
She shook her head and smiled helplessly, if she really came to such a situation, she would choose to live, it was better to die than to live.
When she walked out of the mountains by herself, wasn't she like a beggar at first? Those years were too far away, but they were unforgettable.
Even if it was so difficult, she didn't think about dying, she just wanted to live, and there was hope if she lived.
I was distracted for a while, and when I came back to my senses, there were already more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard, both men and women, all of them were thin and weak, their hair was knotted, and they had not been washed for some years.
Li Yaren said, "I have a small business, and there are few people who have taken the deed in my hand, and I know that I want someone to do it, and I have found someone to bring a few from other people, just waiting for someone to look at it." ”
Hu Shangxuan nodded, "The people of Laoya bother. ”
Jiang Jingxue and Wen whispered, "You help take a look, only pick the honest one." ”
Wen discussed with Fang again, and the two of them had never bought anyone, although they could see each other a few points, but they were also afraid of looking away, and they looked very carefully, so they were afraid that they would buy someone, but they would cause trouble.
Picking and picking out four available, it is naturally not enough, but you can't just remember the number because of the lack of people, you still have to take your time.
These people agree, looking at the honest people, looking at the hands, they are used to doing rough work, at least they are hardworking on weekdays, this is not wrong.
There are two more country men who look like them, with a body of flesh and skin, but they don't even have calluses on their hands.
Looking at each other like this, the four available ones were selected, Jiang Jingxue and Hu Shangxuan had been listening to the two of them, and they both felt that it made sense, so they nodded.
Hu Shangxuan looked for the tooth man and pointed to the four people, Li Yaren hurriedly said, "Where are the four people enough, the huge mountain villa always needs someone to serve, so it's good to choose a few more people." ”
Hu Shangxuan said, "These are the few you want today, and if there is a suitable one in the future, the tooth man will let me know." ”
Li Yaren didn't persuade either, and said that they were also from the countryside, and they had never called people, so they picked good ones, and these people were not diligent and honest.
These people are all death deeds, the price is higher, the silver is calculated, two people in their early twenties, this is labor, to count twenty taels of silver, the other two young women, is counted as ten taels of silver, Li Yaren sold a good one, planning to collect a few taels less, Hu Shangxuan did not take the stubble, still gave sixty taels.
He said to the four men, "Your fate is good, and the heavens will not kill you, but now that you have followed the good Lord, you must do your best to work, and do not waste such a good way out in vain." ”
A few people knelt down and kowtowed gratefully, it was better to have a master to buy it, than to stay in the tooth store all the time, not enough to eat and wear, and to be beaten again.
The man of the tooth walk led them out, and one of the people behind him walked more slowly, and the man kicked the woman to her knees.
Jiang Jingxue immediately became angry, "What is the truth of this?" Since I bought it, this is my family's people, and you beat and scolded you in the reverse, so there are no rules. ”
Li Yaren didn't intend to speak, but seeing that Hu Shangxuan was also indignant, and everything was based on his mother, he hurriedly stepped forward to make amends, "Mrs. Juren is angry, the people below are not sensible, I must teach a good lesson." ”
Jiang Jingxue said, "Although they are selling themselves, they are also human beings, the world is impermanent, who can be sure that they will have a smooth life?" There is no harm in accumulating virtue, I know that these people are not easy to manage, but there is more than one way to discipline them, which is scary. ”
Li Yaren hurriedly responded, "What you said is that I must think about it." ”
Walking out angrily, I saw a little girl in ragged clothes being dragged away, looking like she was only seven or eight years old, her head was hurt somehow, blood came out, and half of her face was stained.
Jiang Jingxue gasped in fright, and the Fang clan hurriedly blocked her behind, it was always bad to see these in pregnancy.
Hu Shangxuan said, "What's wrong with this girl?" ”
Li Yaren hurriedly said, "This is not my fault, this girl was bought back by me with a few boys, yesterday someone came to see the next person, those boys beat her in order to get ahead, her hair was torn off a little half, gurgling blood, I am also doing a small business, how can I have money to treat her, I can only change the house to raise, three meals a day, a lot of food, whether to live or not is her life." ”
The Wen family looked at it, and they couldn't bear it, such a big girl, her father and mother were so ruthless, she was sold like this, and she encountered such a thing.
Li Yaren looked at Jiang Jingxue and felt distressed, and suddenly had an idea, this girl costs money, and it is not worth a few dollars to sell, just now the master did not want him to sell it well, so he will sell it again.
"Madame is kind-hearted, otherwise I will take her back, I will give you the deed, and I don't want any silver, I am also a hard-working girl, I just want her to live."
After all, he was afraid that he would die if he went back, but it made the family feel troublesome, so he hurriedly added, "If she doesn't live, just bring me the letter, and I'll take someone to collect it." ”
