Chapter 256: Tempting People's Hearts
Qingqing felt that there must be something hidden in Shao Niang's sudden visit, but she sat at home and dreamed, and she couldn't find a clue.
Seeing that the time was still early, Zhao Si had not come for the time being, so Qingqing simply went out for a stroll to solve the matter of the fire fight, and by the way, asked what had happened to the Sha Shake family recently.
The village will be quiet, and there will be no one on the street.
Qingqing passed by the crop field and saw four familiar faces in the field, they were observing Dayu's crops, their expressions were quite surprised, sometimes squatting down to look at the leaves, sometimes chattering and discussing.
Seeing Qingqing coming, these four people looked embarrassed, turned their heads to each other, and muttered quietly, as if they were discussing something.
Seeing this, Qingqing walked over to them generously, and said loudly, "Is there a ghost on me, are you afraid to see me?"
These four people are the few people in the team who are not registered in Dayu and do not belong to the Yu clan.
Their identities were very embarrassing, and they found an opportunity to talk to Qingqing and his wife alone after coming for a few days.
Yesterday, they went to the house to find the couple, but they caught up with the couple to go into the city to run errands.
Today, they still want to find a couple, but they heard that the grandfather of the clan took someone out to run errands, and only the grandmother of the clan was left in the house, so these people were embarrassed.
Although it can also be seen that the grandmother is an unusual female dependent in the village, the men are not at home, and it seems inconvenient for them to come to the door to talk.
Seeing that Yu Guang was leading everyone to work, these people didn't stay, they had nowhere to stay, so they could only run to the crop field to see these strange crops that they hadn't seen before, and wait for the clan grandfather to come back by the way.
I didn't expect Qingqing to come at this time, and took the initiative to come over to greet them, these four people were flattered and a little at a loss, and seeing this young grandmother's gorgeous temperament and beautiful appearance, these people didn't know how to speak, lest they offend this noble grandmother.
Qingqing saw their crampedness, and smiled and reassured: "Don't be so restrained, I have a relatively large generation in this village, so it doesn't hurt to treat me as an old lady."
Seeing her so approachable, everyone relaxed a little in their hearts, and recommended a bold person to speak.
"Grandma said that she laughed, how could there be an old lady like you who looked like a fairy."
Qingqing smiled, the virtues of these people, she had asked Guo Guang and the others in private, and they all said that it was no problem, they had been escorted for so many years, they had eaten and lived together, these people were honest people, and they had no bad intentions.
It was precisely because of the investigation done in advance that she and Buli dared to put them in the village for a few days, which seemed random, but in fact they were also observing.
"My husband and I went out yesterday and missed the opportunity to meet with you, don't be surprised, I don't know if you are still used to living in our village?"
When the four people saw her say this, they knew that they were giving them steps, and they immediately understood, and the one who took the lead led everyone to kneel down collectively.
"Hui grandmother, we live very well in the village, thanks to the two ancestors for saving us, the two ancestors saved their lives, we are unforgettable."
After that, everyone brushed and kowtowed, although Qingqing saved them just easily, but for them, this is the rebirth of parents.
Qingqing asked them to get up and speak, and these people insisted on kowtowing three heads before standing up.
"What are your plans for the future?" Qingqing asked.
Several people looked embarrassed when they heard this, as if they had something unspeakable, and after some struggle, the one who had just taken the lead in speaking stood up and replied:
"We are from a village, my name is Zhang Daqiang, these are my two brothers, the second strong and the third strong, that is my son is blessed."
Qingqing nodded to several people, which was regarded as a greeting.
It was difficult to read her thoughts at the moment from her attitude, and the person who spoke could not guess the attitude of the woman in front of him towards them, and sweat beaded on his forehead, and he continued under pressure:
"A few years ago, my wife remarried, my two brothers have not married a daughter-in-law, and there is only one old mother left in the village, our brothers are really not at ease, and we are now running out as a wandering soldier, so we go back to the village, I am afraid that it will affect the clan in the village, and I am worried about the old mother if I don't go back."
Speaking of this, the man looked at Qingqing expectantly, his eyes full of longing.
Qingqing then followed his words: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, there is no need to be polite."
The man choked up and said, "As long as the clan grandmother can agree to me to take my mother over, we are willing to sell ourselves to your house without money, as long as the clan grandmother agrees to our request, then we will swear allegiance to the death and never give up."
"Take your mother?" Qingqing asked the man, the man nodded firmly, and the others reacted in the same way.
In order to be filial to their elderly mother, they would rather sell themselves to the Yu family as domestic slaves.
When Qingqing heard this, her heart was already inclined to accept them, but her face was still silent, and she continued to try: "It's okay to leave you behind, but you have to give up your mother, you can't go back, we have already taken the responsibility of saving you, if you are let go back to pick up people, after being discovered, won't it affect our whole clan?"
These people were all overjoyed when they heard that she was willing to accept people, but when they heard the second half of her sentence, their faces were sad, and Qingqing carefully observed their eyes, some were sad, some were sad, some were helpless, but there was no anger.
It's good, Qingqing is a little more satisfied.
After those people glanced at each other, Zhang Daqiang still spoke, and this time he was already crying.
"Since the grandmother of the clan is in trouble, and we are not reluctant, then our brother will leave the village and go back to pick up the old lady to find another way to live, you can rest assured, we will never betray your family with revenge, I will leave my son blessed with you as a hostage, and wait for the three of us to serve the old lady away, and then come back to you as a cow and a horse to repay the kindness."
If you are lucky, you can find a hill and fall into the grass, and if you are unlucky, you may die on the streets of another country.
But even so, they didn't want to leave their mother alone, and the three brothers were unusually strong.
Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on her face that she didn't have just now, and her voice was more kind.
"Your mother has been lonely and miserable all these years, and she must have been wronged, but to be able to give birth to a good son like you is also bitter, don't show your face, I will send someone to pick up your mother tomorrow, and you will live in this village steadily."
Zhang Daqiang didn't react for a while, and looked at Qingqing in a daze, and his two brothers also had the same expression.
The fastest reaction turned out to be his son Youfu, this child looked a few years older than Ermao, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was a clever person at first glance, and he was shocked when he heard this: "Grandma clan, you agree that we are selling ourselves?"
"No, I don't agree."
The fire that had just been lit by a few people was extinguished again, but they heard Qingqing say words that made them tremble in a nice voice: "In the future, you will be the villagers of this village, with an independent household registration, and you don't need to sign a deed of sale with my family, but——"
