Chapter 32: Redemption
In the low and dim's room, several basins are lined up, and four maids who are in charge of pulping and laundry are working in it.
Large families have a lot of attention to dressing, the Liu family has money but no power, and there are no scholars in the family, so they are even more particular.
Not only do you change your clothes once a day, but sometimes you have to change your clothes again when you go out or visit friends once.
It is not yet the first month of the new year, and the water from the well is warm at first, but it will become bitterly cold in a few moments.
No matter how rich the Liu family is, it is impossible for these maids who wash their clothes to wash their clothes with hot water
Many of the washing maids' hands had already soaked white, and some even had chilblains, but they were still washing all the time.
Even when I heard someone walk into the laundry room, I didn't dare to look up.
These maids said that they were in charge of pulping and washing, but in fact, they did all kinds of chores, and it was naturally impossible for the Liu family to raise them in vain.
Among the many maids, they are considered to be the lowest level, and they are even inferior to the sprinkler maids.
If you want to go up, you can only boil slowly, and after three or five years, the main family can do other things if they have a little trust in them.
"Zhao Yu." Chen Mo recognized at a glance the companion who fled with him back then, how much she had changed compared to back then, and her body was still skinny.
At most, from starving to death back then, to starving to death for the time being.
It can be seen that what kind of life she lived in Liu's house was not as good as when she fed the horses herself.
Hearing someone call her name, her eyes were full of numbness, and she looked up and obviously didn't recognize Chen Mo.
"It's me, your husband Chen Mo, I'm here to redeem you." Chen Mo took out a water bladder from his arms as he spoke, which was something left to him by Zhao Yu back then.
"Is that you?" She was stunned for a moment, but then reacted quickly, her eyes full of disbelief.
She had thought that Chen Mo would come to redeem herself, after all, it was only half a year, and she hadn't lost hope.
But she didn't expect it to be so fast, in just half a year, Chen Mo was able to gather the money, which was really unexpected to her.
In fact, since she entered Liu's house, sometimes she regretted why she was selling on the sidelines, instead of selling herself.
The side sale can redeem herself, and it is difficult for the lord's family to trust her, so she can only wash here all day long.
She also imagined that Chen Mo would come to redeem him and turn her from a slave to an ordinary person.
But what happened to other slaves sometimes shook this idea.
Someone was sold into Liu's family by her husband or brother, and she said that she would definitely be ransomed, but no one came for three years, five years, or even ten years.
Some of them started to send messages, but gradually they disappeared.
But she was still unwilling to give up this idea, she believed that Chen Mo was born and died with her at the beginning, and she was definitely not a treacherous person.
It was the only hope she could grasp, and she had to believe in it, or she wouldn't be able to survive now.
It's just that she didn't think that this would become a reality so soon, and Chen Mo would really come to redeem herself.
She pinched her thigh, and the clear pain came to her mind, which made her dare to believe that everything in front of her was real.
The rest of the pulp washing maids all looked at Zhao Yu with envious and slightly jealous eyes at this time.
They are all slaves and maids, why can she be redeemed by her husband, and she can only work here day after day.
"Go pack up and come with me." Chen Mo explained.
"Okay." Zhao Yu nodded in agreement, his heart full of joy.
It is better to go out and live a life than to be a slave to others.
The two didn't talk too much, and Zhao Yu hurriedly left to pack his things.
They are actually not very acquainted, although the two have lived and died together, they have been together for less than two months, and they have never said more than 100 words.
But if you talk about mutual trust, at least now they both have enough trust in each other.
Zhao Yu was able to hand over the money from selling his body to Chen Mo almost without reservation, and it was because of this money that Chen Mo was able to survive and join the army.
And Chen Mo also tried his best to redeem her as soon as possible for the sake of a promise he made at the beginning.
The two are not husband and wife, but the trust between many husbands and wives may not be comparable to the two of them.
Zhao Yu packed up quickly, she didn't have any extra things, only two clothes and some money that she had carefully saved.
They pulp laundry, and sometimes there are some odd coins, and the maid who delivers the clothes will search for them, but sometimes there will be some omissions.
So after such a long time, the money in her hand is not only not less, but even more, adding up to three coins of silver.
These were carefully saved by her, so that if she could contact Chen Mo one day, having this money would also reduce his pressure and allow him to better redeem himself.
It's just that now it seems that the money may not be used.
However, she packed everything and still found an opportunity to quietly stuff all the money to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was able to redeem herself within half a year, which was indeed unexpected by her, but she understood that this was not an easy task.
Give him this money yourself, and if there is still a place to use the money in the future, you don't have to tie your hands and feet.
As for what to do if she has no money in hand after leaving, she is not very worried.
Because she believes in Chen Mo, if the other party is really greedy for money, then it is impossible to redeem herself.
Chen Mo took the money and didn't say much, and waved his hand lightly to signal Zhao Yu to follow behind him.
All the way to the front hall, Li County Lieutenant was talking with Liu Wangshi quite eagerly.
"You can take this deed of sale, and go back so that you can take her to change her nationality." Mo Dao handed another contract of sale to Chen Mo, and then glanced at Zhao Yu, who was thin and thin, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"What about the ransom silver?" Chen Mo asked softly.
Mo Dao shook his head slightly, the Liu family is just a rich man, and their father-in-law wants to ransom people.
Even if Liu Wangshi ate the tiger whip, he didn't dare to ask them for ransom silver.
"Uncle Li, since this is the case, I will go back to the barracks first, and I won't stay here for long." Mo Dao bowed and resigned on the spot.
"Why should the virtuous nephew be in such a hurry, why do you have to stay for a meal." County Lieutenant Li said to stay, but the moment he saw Zhao Yu, he suddenly understood everything in his heart.
Zhao Yu is very thin, and it can't be said that he is thin when the wind blows, but close to the thinness of perennial hard work.
If Chen Mo doesn't come again, it is estimated that in another year and a half, Zhao Yu will have to die of exhaustion in the Liu family.
It's not a big deal, it's just a harsh slave, almost every family does it, it's a small thing.
But it depends on who is blamed, if ordinary people don't care, no one asks if they die.
But unfortunately, it was blamed on Zhao Yu's head.
Of course, Zhao Yu was able to barely survive because of the Liu family
But his wife was treated like this, even if Chen Mo didn't blame the Liu family, I am afraid it would no longer be possible to sit at the same table with Liu Wangshi and have a good conversation.
And Mo Dao obviously thought of this, so he took the initiative to resign now.
"Then I'll send my nephew!" County Lieutenant Li got up and glanced at Liu Wangshi deeply as he left.
"Liu Er, you roll over to Lao Tzu!" Liu Wangshi burst into tears.
Butler Liu Er trotted all the way to the main hall.
"Didn't I usually tell you? Eat better below, but what about you, how did you do it! Liu Wangshi slapped the table and glared, as if venting the anger in his heart.
Liu Er didn't speak, but he was muttering to himself in his heart, how much money does the servants in the courtyard spend on eating and drinking every day, these are all set by the other party himself.
Just the money of one nest head, even if you use the flowers, you can't change two nests, and he scolds and scolds in his heart, he doesn't dare to say a word more, just honestly bows his head and listens to the training.
"Go back and double the food money for your subordinates every month, and then prepare a carriage for me and then go to the Hengyuan Dart Bureau to invite a few good players, prepare more silver tickets and gold, and bring me the title deeds of our family's 300 acres of good paddy fields outside the city."
Liu Wangshi's eyes were ruthless, and he gritted his teeth and commanded.
He wasn't sure if General Sun would know about today's incident, and if he would blame himself for it.
But he can be sure that their Liu family is now a piece of fat, and no matter who they are, they want to take two bites.
If you want to avoid being eaten and wiped clean, you have to take out some of the meat first.
The town guard of Xingyuan Mansion is an absolute high-ranking official, and he has never had this opportunity to take advantage of this relationship before, but now the opportunity has come.
With these things, I said that I came to apologize and begged for forgiveness.
As long as he can get on this relationship, not only does he not have to look at the face of the county official, but he may even be able to quadruple his business again.
As for going to the door to give gifts and deadlift relationships like this, will it be a little shameless, if he wants face, he can't do such a big business.
