Chapter XXVII
This mother-in-law's surname is Zhang, and she still has her husband and daughter in the tooth shop.
This family fled from the Northland.
Although the capital is bustling, other places outside the capital are affected by various disasters such as snow, floods, insect disasters, and droughts every year.
Some of the people who have been affected by the disaster will no longer survive in their hometowns, so they will flee to various places.
This family is from the Northland, the man's surname is He, and the woman's surname is Zhang. The man was forty-six years old, the woman was forty-three years old, and the daughter was ten years old.
Winters in the Northland are very cold and prolonged. In other places, there are basically four seasons of the year, and each season is about three months, but the Northland is basically divided into winter and summer, and the spring and autumn seasons are very short, and the situation of snowflakes on August 15 will occur every few years in the Northland.
In the current Great Calendar Dynasty, there is no easy to grow and high-yield corn, sweet potatoes and the like.
Most of them are grown sorghum and wheat, soybeans, etc. And because the land is so cold, even the crops in the north have to be one crop less than in other places. So the harvest in the field is relatively low.
Not long after the beginning of autumn last year, when the crops were still in the field, the weather suddenly changed dramatically, and it snowed heavily in advance.
After rushing to harvest the crops in the field and paying the rent to the landlord, the family didn't even have much surplus grain.
Not to mention the early snow last winter, there was a lot of snow throughout the winter, and the amount of snow was particularly heavy. Not only did there be a heavy snowstorm in the north, but even the vicinity of the capital was greatly affected.
There is an old man in this family, and there are many children. I can't eat, I can't warm up. As a result, the hungry starved to death, and the frozen froze to death.
The couple saw that there was really no way to live, so they took their only two children----- a son and a daughter, and left their hometown where they had lived for generations, thinking of going to a distant relative in the capital.
Unexpectedly, the family worked hard and starved and froze to Xifang, the capital, but they couldn't find their relatives. This time, I can't go back, so I can only settle in the capital.
The man and the older boy found a job as a coolie, and the woman and the girl went to wash and clean the pulp, barely starving and fed.
Who knows, the hemp rope is broken in detail, and bad luck is looking for miserable people.
More than a month ago, this big boy was overworked and suffering from diseases in winter, so he was suddenly stimulated by the big summer, and he couldn't get out of bed because of his lingering sickbed.
The boy's condition is really serious, so he can only go to the hospital to ask a doctor to take medicine, but the consultation fee and medicine are expensive, and the family is already stretched, where can there be extra money to treat the disease and take medicine?
Therefore, the man was ruthless and sold himself to Changlong Yaxing with his family. The man sold to Changlong Tooth Company, and the only requirement was that the family could sell it together.
As a result, after the family sold their bodies, they lived in the dental shop for a long time, and spent all the money they sold, but the eldest boy was still not cured.
In this way, the money is gone, and the people are gone. It's really pitiful.
The boss of the tooth shop is kind-hearted, and it is really pitiful to look at this family, so he did not let the money that was sold out---- after all, it cost four people to sell his body at the beginning, but now it has only become three people.
Not only did he not let the money back, but the owner of the dental store also tried his best to sell their family to one master's house.
However, this family was a farmer before, and they did not have as many skills as the servants of large families. Even after training in the dental store for a month, I can't learn much. Therefore, I can only make the servants take it out.
However, the average family does not need a family; Large families have a lot of children in their own families, and they rarely buy rough people from outside.
So many times, this man is also honest and honest, seeing that the tooth shop did not want to sell his own money, and then he did not have any special skills to let the buyer take a fancy to him. So, the family discussed it and took the initiative to come to the boss and said that they agreed to sell it separately.
Although the boss is kind-hearted, he is also a businessman after all. Of course, it can't be a bottomless pit of goodness all the time, otherwise how can this business be so big?
So he agreed to the man's proposal to sell them separately, but he also said that he would try his best to sell them all in the capital.
Although the owner of the dental store promised to do his best, the family had been in the dental store for almost a month, and he also understood how difficult it was to sell everything in one place.
No, it just so happens that Xia wants to buy people, and he doesn't mind that his mother-in-law is rude. Liu Po told the family about Zhixia's situation.
This family listened to a woman in Zhixia, and she was kind, and she bought it to accompany her. Although they can't be sold together, this is already the best condition in the owner's house who came to buy people.
After all, with their ability, they can only be sold as rough servants. If you meet a master who is not harsh, you are already very lucky.
"The slave knows that it has caused a lot of trouble for the tooth shop. It's just that I don't know if I can sell them all in the capital in the future, and I don't know if I can meet again. Ask the master to let the slave go and say goodbye. Don't dare to cause other trouble to the master. Mrs. Zhang listened to Mrs. Liu finish talking about her own affairs, and hurriedly kowtowed to Jiang Zhixia and pleaded.
"Please ask Aunt Liu to call her family over to say goodbye." Zhixia sighed slowly.
Compared with such people, I can be regarded as much happier.
Mrs. Liu, who had finished speaking next to her, was also very happy to hear Jiang Zhixia say this, so she called out Mrs. Zhang's family and asked them to say goodbye as soon as possible.
A man with a little girl walked up to Jiang Zhixia and kowtowed to thank him.
It seems that it has been trained by Yaxing, even if Mrs. Zhang kowtows here, and Mrs. Liu talks for so long, the father and daughter are standing at the door of the room and crying, and they still haven't crossed the thunder pool to cry.
The man's height is not particularly tall, Jiang Zhixia measured it, and he looked like about 1.75 meters. The little girl looked like she was only five or six years old.
The family stood together, all black and thin.
After kowtowing, the two people helped up Mrs. Zhang, who was kneeling, and cried for a while and said a conversation, but it was just a reminder to live a good life or something like that.
"Forget it, auntie, how much are these two people? I'll buy it as well. Jiang Zhixia couldn't bear it anymore.
After thinking about it, it's not expensive to buy people now, and it's expensive to raise people, but raising two more people won't be unable to eat.
Before, Jiang Zhixia didn't plan to buy it, mainly because he was afraid that the male servant would bully the master---- after all, he was a powerless woman, and when he met a male evil servant, he couldn't beat it.
However, now that this family is still honest and honest, it is better to buy it together and do more within their own capabilities.
I only hope that I haven't looked away.
"Thank you, master, thank you, master." When the family heard Zhixia say this, they were excited and grateful, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed. Then three pairs of eyes looked eagerly at Liu Po.
Liu Po, who was stared at by everyone, held her forehead and smiled.
"The girl has a good heart. We don't sit on the ground and start the price. Just follow the rough line price. Rest assured, I give you the lowest price. ”
So, Jiang Zhixia was invited to sit down in the lobby again.
After settling the sale of the father and daughter, looking at the deed of sale in his hand, Jiang Zhixia sighed and put it in his purse.
