Chapter 272 How much do you plan to sell yourself for?
Wen Zhenyi put down his clothes and tidied them for him: "I don't know how either, I just want to see if this can stop the bleeding."
Biaozi wasn't stupid either. He knew she didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask any more questions. "What should I pay attention to when removing the stitches?"
"Nothing much to notice. I've been eating a light diet and not drinking alcohol lately."
"Even if you don't tell me, he would still do it."
Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Biaozi, I want to borrow someone from you who has a good memory, a kind face, and can read."
"What's the matter?"
"Brother Lin, who helps deliver food for me, has a sick father and has been unable to deliver food to me for a while. That's why I want to borrow someone from you to help me out in an emergency."
"Look at Da Zhuang, okay? Don't be fooled by his silly appearance, he actually has a very good memory."
"Then please ask him to come with me later. All the money he earns during this period is his own."
"Okay."
Wen Zhenyi stood up and said goodbye as soon as Dazhuang arrived, asking Biaozi to have a good rest and she would find time to visit him again in two days.
Da Zhuang followed behind Wen Zhenyi: "Miss Wen, do you want me to help you deliver the food?"
"Well, I'm busier when I'm busy, and I'm also more relaxed when I'm free."
"Hey, it's nothing. We've been busy delivering things for others lately. We're usually pretty idle, but it's still nice to be busy."
As they were talking, they came to Lin Jie's courtyard.
Before I even entered the door, I heard a voice coming from inside: "Lin Jie, your father is coughing so badly, you should take him to see a doctor quickly, otherwise he will infect us with all his illnesses."
"Yeah, this coughing all day long doesn't allow me to rest."
When Wen Zhenyi came in, the people in the yard saw her and turned back to their rooms.
Uncle Lin looked at Lin Jie beside the bed and wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, he started coughing again.
Lin Jie quickly calmed him down: "Dad, ignore them."
Uncle Lin waved his hands quickly, his face flushed red.
Wen Zhenyi saw that the door was open, so he walked in directly: "Brother Lin."
When Lin Jie saw her, he was a little surprised: "Miss Wen."
Uncle Lin was coughing so hard that he couldn't speak, so he could only push Lin Jie out to greet the guests.
Lin Jie could only lay him flat on the bed and got up and left the room.
It was also the first time that Wen Zhenyi saw Uncle Lin. He was so thin that his bones were visible, and his eye sockets were a little sunken.
"How is Uncle Lin?"
Lin Jie looked at Uncle Lin, who had his eyes closed, and said, "Let's talk outside."
Wen Zhen nodded and left the room with him: "I bought some things for Uncle Lin. Take some time to make some to nourish him."
"Miss Wen, I'm sorry to trouble you. I may not be able to continue the food delivery business recently." Lin Jie said apologetically.
"It's okay. Talk to Uncle Dazhuang about tomorrow's delivery. He will take your place for the time being."
Lin Jie looked at Da Zhuang and said, "Uncle, wait a moment. I'll get the notebook. Can you read?"
Da Zhuang smiled innocently: "I can read."
Lin Jie took out the notebook and handed it to Da Zhuang, and also told him some things to pay attention to, such as which family doesn’t like to eat chopped green onions, which family doesn’t want coriander, etc.
Da Zhuang remembered them all: "Okay, I remember them. I'll go there early tomorrow morning."
Wen Zhenyi: "Uncle Dazhuang, I'll trouble you tomorrow."
"No trouble, I'll go back today."
Wen Zhenyi waited until Dazhuang left before he took out a purse and handed it to him: "This is your wages for this period of time, keep it."
Lin Jie was stunned when he saw the purse on the table. "Miss Wen, we never talked about the monthly allowance. It's just that I have money for every order."
Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Zhu Tao asked me to give it to you. She was afraid you wouldn't accept it, so she made me find an excuse."
Lin Jie looked at the purse on the table and said, "I can't accept this. She still has her indenture bond. I was thinking that after my father recovered from his illness, I would save some money to buy her freedom."
"You like peaches."
Lin Jie's face flushed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
With his family's conditions, how could he be worthy of Zhu Tao?
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "This is her intention, so you should accept it. As for her indenture, she gave it up of her own free will."
Lin Jie suddenly looked up at her: "What do you mean?"
"I gave her the indenture, but she didn't want it."
Lin Jie looked at Wen Zhenyi and then at the purse on the table. Now, hearing Uncle Lin's suppressed cough in the inner room, he made a decision: "Miss Wen, I want to sell myself to you."
Wen Zhenyi raised his eyebrows slightly: "You want to sell yourself?"
"Yes, I can't take Zhu Tao's money. My father needs money for medical treatment. If you don't mind, I want to sell myself."
Wen Zhenyi didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly. To be honest, Lin Jie was a good person, but he didn't expect that he would sell himself.
"You have to think carefully. After you sell yourself, you will be at my mercy."
"I've thought it through, but I have one request. Please lend me some more silver so I can take care of my father."
"How much do you want to borrow?"
Lin Jie didn't know how much to borrow, nor how to accommodate his father. Living in this courtyard, listening to their complaints every day, might make him sick even if he wasn't sick at all.
"I don't know either. I want to move away from here with my dad."
“Did you buy this?”
Lin Jie shook his head: "It's rented, so I don't know where I can move to."
Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I ask if there are any houses for sale in our village? It's close to town and the air is worse than here."
"Okay, thank you for your help. It doesn't matter if it's a little broken."
"Okay, I'll sign a contract with you then." Wen Zhenyi pushed the purse on the table to him and said, "Give it back to her yourself." After saying that, he took out fifty taels of silver from his arms and placed it on the table.
Lin Jie looked at the fifty taels of silver on the table and said, "Miss Wen, the extra money is a loan from me."
Wen Zhenyi looked at him curiously: "How much do you plan to sell yourself for?"
Lin Jie was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this question before. Zhu Tao seemed to have paid ten taels before: "Ten taels."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: "You said it, don't regret it."
"I won't regret it."
Wen Zhenyi went straight back to the village as soon as he came out of the Lin family.
She still had to go back and prepare some things so that she wouldn't have to rush around when the beef stall owner delivered the beef.
Before, it was Aunt You who cooked at home. Now that Shen Hanxing has appeared, the cooking job has been taken over by her, which makes Aunt You complain a lot.
"You said I was originally just a cook, but you took over as soon as you came back, leaving me with nothing to do. I'm embarrassed to take your wages."
Wen Zhenyi looked at Aunt You, who had a resentful look on her face: "Aunt, how about you help me find out something."
"What is it?"
