Chapter 275: The Wife's Big Brother Picks First (First Update, Please Subscribe)

The demands of the people have always been so simple, so plain and simple.

For ordinary working people, marrying a wife is of course for the purpose of having children and carrying on the family line.

Work, what will you eat if you don't work? Can't you be supported by the young lady?

Men farm and women weave, this is an eternal truth. How many young ladies have there been throughout history?

"That's good, but what if I don't have money?"

"What to do? Take out a loan!"

The auctioneer shouted.

"There is a wife loan! I've never heard of a wife loan! It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money, just take your wife home first, and when you get paid, you can pay back the money monthly, one dollar a month, for four years in a row."

"It's a good deal! This deal is a good deal, a very good deal. I only need to pay one dollar a month to continue my family line!"

It is said that "contract maids" are maids who sign a lifelong contract and "provide food and accommodation, and pay a dollar commission" every month, but what is the reality? It is just to circumvent the law. Everyone here is very clear, it is a business.

As for what the so-called "wife loan" is? Of course, it is a "family loan" jointly launched by banks and companies. What is its purpose? It is to help employees start a family.

How warm! How considerate! Just a tiny bit of interest. A loan of 40 yuan, paid in installments for four years, only 8 yuan in interest.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Sun Guanghai, you see more and more people are taking out loans to buy wives, we have to do it quickly, otherwise we won't be able to afford it by then!"

What the man said was right. More people would arrive one after another, and occasionally someone would just slap their ticket and ask loudly:

"If the purchase is not suitable, can you exchange it?"

The answer is always: "No!"

"What if I spend a lot of money and buy something that is not suitable after several years of debt?"

Someone in the crowd will shout at the top of his voice:

"What's wrong with that? Women, once the lights are turned off at night, are all the same!"

The onlookers laughed continuously, and the women wearing veils and Hanfu moved a few times, praying in their hearts that they could be sold to a good family.

Human trafficking is illegal!

However, if this method is not used, the problem of insufficient women cannot be solved, so this disguised "lifetime contract" is very common in Nanhua, and the company also turns a blind eye to it.

On the one hand, the development of Nanhua cannot be separated from the cheap labor force from Huaxia, and on the other hand, the problem of a large number of bachelors in the labor force cannot be solved. Everyone knows that if there are no women, it is unclear whether these laborers will become a social problem, but Nanhua will definitely have no future.

Therefore, in the past few years, one labor company after another has been established. Their footprints extend as far north as Japan and North Korea, and as far south as Vietnam and Cambodia. There are even labor companies in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Myanmar. They buy and sell women under various names, and then let them put their fingerprints on the contract written in Spanish.

Why use Spanish… Because they definitely won’t understand it!

In the past few years, hundreds of thousands of women from East Asia and Southeast Asia have come to South China as "contract maids". They were "sold" to various parts of South China with their contracts. They gave birth to hundreds of thousands of children. Competition among labor companies has also led to a continuous drop in the price of maids. A maid costs forty or fifty yuan. In fact, even a horse costs more than a few dozen yuan.

During the auction, the person in charge shouted impatiently:

"If you want to buy it, hurry up. There are only over a hundred. If you don't have money, go get a loan. If you're late, you don't know when it will be your turn."

What the labor company said was absolutely right. Although there had been fierce competition among more than a dozen labor companies in the past few years, and their footprints had spread all over East Asia and Southeast Asia, compared to the influx of more than 500,000 immigrants each year, women accounted for less than one-fiftieth of them, and there were simply not enough to go around for the hundreds of thousands of contract maids each year. The next time they came here, it would definitely be a matter of time.

"This is a hundred dollars!"

Si Dongli said with a bit of anguish,

"You bought two at once. You should at least show them to me and give me a heads up."

"No, no, this is the rule. If everyone looks at it, I don't know how long it will take. Don't worry, this person must be a woman, and her health must be very good."

The staff of the labor company waved their hands.

"I see you've been educated, don't you understand this?"

Looking at the remaining dozen people, and then at the "sold" written on the form on the table, Si Dongli sighed and said, "Okay, let's do this! Buy two..."

One hundred dollars and two thin contracts. With this lifelong contract, the two women he picked up would become part of his family. Their household registration would be registered under his name and would be protected by law.

After inviting them to get on the carriage, Si Dongli did not ask them to open their veils. He did not even say anything along the way. He just drove the carriage silently towards home.

On the way back home on horseback, Si Dongchuan would happily mutter to himself:

"It's all right now, it's all right now, I'm also a married man... Dad, our family has an heir..."

It seemed as if he had already become a father at this time.

Finally, when he got home, he saw a carriage parked in front of the barn. In the carriage sat two women wearing lavender Han skirts. Those were the clothes that the labor service company gave to the maids. They were of similar style and color.

"Brother, answer it, answer it..."

Looking at the woman sitting in the carriage, Si Dongchuan said a little anxiously.

"So, that one is mine?"

"Sixth Brother, I haven't looked at them since I met them. The company didn't allow me to look at them either. I don't know what they look like. Now they are here. You can choose one by yourself. Whether they are pretty or ugly is up to fate."

Listening to his elder brother's arrangements, Si Dongchuan waved his hands and said.

"Brother, look at what you said. Let them take off their hats. Big brother, you pick the handsome ones first..."

"Sixth Brother..."

"As the old saying goes, Kong Rong gave up his pears. So, of course, the eldest brother should see and choose first."

Si Dongchuan said with a smile.

"This, this, right, right, just like in ancient times, Kong Rong gave up his pears, and now Dongchuan gives up his wife!"

As he spoke, he went over to take off the woman's veil, but was stopped by Si Dongli.

"What's the point of giving in or not? Just pick one, quickly, and then we'll have our wedding night tonight. Quickly, quickly..."

Seeing that his elder brother was angry, Si Dongchuan said quickly,

"Okay, okay, listen to Big Brother!"

As he spoke, he didn't even look at the women. "Ah..." Amid the women's screams, he just picked one up and carried her away.

Looking at the woman who was sitting in the carriage and feeling a little uneasy, Si Dongli said.

"Girl, don't worry, I will treat you well in the future..."

The woman quickly spoke in stiff Chinese.

"Thank you, thank you, Master..."
