145 Misunderstanding
Facing Zhang Chuliu's face full of questions, Lin Qianqian explained: "That's the case, I am the one who saved Miss Zhou's family, although I saved her on the boat, but I am afraid that she may not be able to save her life after returning to the ship." ”
"Oh? Why? Didn't you say that Miss Zhou had woken up? Listening to the people of the Zhou family, Miss Zhou was just frightened, and her body was fine. Zhang Chuliu said.
Lin Qianqian snorted lightly and sneered: "That's just the rhetoric of those Diao slaves to the outside world, Miss Zhou is now trapped on the boat by them, even if they want to kill Miss Zhou's life, they say that Miss Zhou is too frightened, and others can't say anything." ”
Zhang Chuliu's brows were tightly locked, and his face was full of disbelief.
As far as he knows, the Zhou family is very strict, and the Zhou family has only two young masters and a young lady in this branch of Dachun County.
Today, Miss Zhou accidentally fell into the water, and now it is not easy to save her, those subordinates probably ask God to worship the Buddha to let Miss Zhou Family be safe, how can they dare to murder Miss Zhou's life?
Zhang Chuliu thought about it, but couldn't understand why Lin Qianqian said this.
He asked confusedly, "Former girl, why do you say that?" ”
Lin Qianqian said what he had just said to Lin Mingming.
After Zhang Chuliu heard this, he laughed.
The louder he laughed, the louder he laughed, and he laughed so hard that he wanted to roll on the ground with his stomach in his hands.
Lin Qianqian and Lin Mingming looked at him inexplicably.
After a long time, Zhang Chuliu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said loudly: "Former girl, you misunderstood, although there are many slaves of the Zhou family with the boat, but among them, the only people who are familiar with the water are those boatmen and small servants, Miss Zhou fell into the water, of course they can't let the boatman and the little girl go to save her, a man picks up the wet Miss Zhou from the water, in that case, Miss Zhou's life is saved, but her innocence can't be preserved, in order to keep her reputation, she can only marry the man who rescued her ashore." ”
"You must not have paid much attention before you went into the water to save people, the accompanying grandmothers of the Zhou family have been begging people to save Miss Zhou, but those who are willing to stand up and save people are men, those grandmothers must not let men go into the water to save their young lady, they are to save the name of their young lady."
After listening to this, Lin Qianqian was stunned on the spot.
She thought back to the situation on the shore and in the water, and gradually realized how wrong she was.
No wonder those slaves just rowed a boat and desperately approached Miss Zhou, but they didn't dare to go into the water to save people in person.
No wonder they saw her approaching and drove her away as if they were enemies.
Later, when they recognized her as a woman, they stopped the chase and let her go over and rescue the person.
So, when they met those people who welcomed them warmly on the boat, wasn't they hypocritical? Was she misunderstood?
Lin Qianqian suddenly felt very funny.
Although she came to ancient times, after all, she carried the thoughts of modern people, and she completely forgot that in ancient times, a woman's name was more important than her life.
Miss Zhou, a young lady of a family, if she was saved by an ordinary person like a boatman/servant/farmer, she would have to marry the person who saved her, and in this way, the face of the Zhou family would be lost, and no matter which family, such a thing would not be allowed.
Therefore, those slaves of the Zhou family would rather risk drowning Miss Zhou than stop those men who tried to go into the water to save people.
Fortunately, she is a woman, otherwise those slaves of the Zhou family would have been able to kill her on the spot when they saw her working so hard to save people.
Lin Qian said apologetically: "Uncle Zhang, it seems that I misunderstood, alas, I really didn't think of the name festival, I really thought.... Huh...."
The rest of the words, Lin Qianqian himself was embarrassed to continue.
Zhang Chuliu said with a smile: "That's because the former girl was too kind-hearted and wanted to help when she saw injustice." ”
Lin Qianqian laughed embarrassedly.
Lin Mingming patted his chest in fright: "Oh, eldest sister, it turns out that we misunderstood people, I was very scared just now." ”
Zhang Chuliu invited Lin Qianqian to the courtyard, "Look at me, I let you stand outside for so long when you come, come here, come in and have a cup of tea, I will ask your aunt to come over and talk to you." ”
Lin Qianqian stopped him and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, don't be busy, we've been out for a long time, I'm afraid that my family will worry, so we'll go back first, and we'll definitely come to play when it's empty another day." ”
Zhang Chuliu saw Lin Qianqian so insistent and didn't say anything anymore.
After Lin Qianqian, Lin Mingming and Zhang Chuliu said goodbye, they hurried home.
As soon as they left the noisy dock, they were stopped by three men dressed as "beggars".
Before Lin Qianqian and Lin Mingming could speak, the three of them knelt down.
The eldest of them spoke: "Great good man, please take us in, we are willing to use you as cattle and horses, but we ask you to reward us with a mouthful of food.... We haven't eaten for days, so I beg you, great good ones, give us a bite to eat..."
Lin Mingming's face showed sympathy, these people were what they looked like some time ago, he looked at Lin Qianqian: "Eldest sister....."
Lin Qian looked at his younger brother's pouting ass and knew what kind of shit he was going to shit.
She looked at the woman who spoke, "Are you willing to sell yourself?" Or are you just looking for a bite to eat? ”
The three people kneeling on the ground looked at each other.
They are just begging for help, but they still have a choice?
The eldest woman spoke: "We are fleeing from the north, our father and mother have long since died, we have no way to live, as long as the great good people are willing to reward us with a mouthful of food, let our sisters and brothers live, whatever you want, ask the great good people to do well, ask the great good people to do well..."
The woman kowtowed as she spoke, and the other two smaller boys followed suit.
Lin Qianqian hurriedly called them up, and said kindly: "My family is short of manpower for business, if you are willing, I am willing to buy you at the highest price, and I will never let you go hungry if I have a bite to eat in the future." ”
Although she is a modern person, she is very disgusted by the behavior of selling her body in ancient times, but after careful study, when the ancient law is not sound, signing a deed of sale is indeed the best way to restrain a person's behavior and morality.
The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were about to kneel down and kowtow again, but Lin Qianqian hurriedly stopped them.
Along the way, the three of them followed behind tremblingly, and Lin Qianqian and Lin Mingming asked before they answered.
