A few people talked in whispers for a while, and then the broker came over with a manager.
"Three, three, I'm sorry to have neglected you. We are very busy at the dental clinic. We have discussed what this girl just said and think it is feasible. We only hope that you will come to support us more often in the future. Our dental clinic has a great reputation in the county."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and some women even cried with joy while holding their children.
"Of course, we're not lying. Next time we come back, we'll look for this guy again."
The man happily clasped his fists at them and said, "Of course, I will give you the most reliable person. Let's go through the formalities and take this person away now."
"We will take the people away tomorrow morning. It's late today, and we have to stay overnight in the county government. Please bring their deeds over so I can check them with someone. If they are correct, we will pay the money immediately and go through the formalities." The people we have chosen with great difficulty cannot be replaced.
"Okay." The manager asked the broker to get the deed and had a table and chairs brought over. "Then let's settle the bill. You guys are all here together. Is this person registered under one name or multiple names?"
Chunxiao and Yan Dashan selected people on the spot and divided them into two groups. Yan Dashan took 8 men and 22 women, and the rest were registered with Chunxiao, naturally including the six pairs of mother and daughter.
In this transaction, Yan Dashan spent 242 taels and Chun Xiao spent 468 taels. They each signed the indenture with their own people, asked them to pack their spare clothes, and told them to pick them up early the next morning.
After paying the money, they took the pawnshop manager with them to the government office.
Unexpectedly, the household registration of the large-scale human trafficking case was also handled by that Qian Zhubu. He was stunned when he saw Chunxiao, but then he understood that such a large place must have people.
The formalities were completed very quickly. Chunxiao also took the deeds to the two plots of land he had purchased earlier, thanked Qian Zhubu, and left the yamen.
"I didn't expect you were acquaintances of the Lord Chief Clerk. How disrespectful."
"You're too polite, manager. We'll have to trouble you to look after them for one more night. We'll take them away tomorrow morning. Please let them keep their clothes."
The steward was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
Chunxiao and a few others sent the manager back to the pawnshop. It was getting late, so they also wanted to find an inn nearby to stay.
The three of them drove the carriage along the street looking for someone, and finally found an inn that looked pretty good about an inn stick of incense away from the shop, and decided to stay there.
Several people got out of the car. Xingfu was about to follow the inn waiter to pull the car to the backyard of the inn, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm by a man who rushed out from across the street, "Xiaoqin, it's really you!"
Xingfu was startled by this action. She quickly pulled her arm away and took a look at the person who came. Suddenly, she panicked and said, "You, you got the wrong person."
"How could I be wrong?" The man said with surprise and grabbed her arm again. "Why are you here?"
Chunxiao and Yan Dashan had already entered the inn. Seeing a man arguing with Xingfu at the door, they hurried out again. "What's wrong, Xingfu? Do you know him?"
"Happiness?" The man frowned.
"No, I don't know him. He got the wrong person." Xingfu broke free again, "Everyone said you got the wrong person."
The waiter at the inn was also a little confused. When he saw the guest said he didn't know him, he hurried forward to chase him away, "Go, go, where did you come from, beggar? Go away quickly, or I will call someone." After chasing the guest away, the waiter took Xingfu and the carriage to the backyard.
The man just stood there at the door of the inn, his expression full of confusion. He must have doubted his own cognition, wondering if he had really recognized the wrong person.
Chunxiao watched Xingfu looking out the window from time to time, and finally couldn't help but follow him to take a look. Sure enough, she saw that the man who had just been at the door was squatting opposite her and had not left.
"You obviously know him, why are you saying you don't?" She stood behind Xingfu and scared Xingfu when she said this.
"Miss!"
"He can't be your unscrupulous husband!" He looks about the same age and doesn't look like a mean and ungrateful person.
Xingfu waved her hands quickly, "No, Miss, he is not, you misunderstood."
"I just saw how happy he was to see you. Is he a relative? Or a friend?"
"We grew up together in my mother's village." Xingfu looked out through the window, his tone somewhat dejected, "He is the same age as me."
Childhood sweethearts! "If we're old friends, then why did you say you didn't know me when we met just now?"
Xingfu turned and walked to the table, lowering her head to pour him some water. "Miss, I'm a servant now. How can I chat with old friends?"
"Why not?" Chun Xiao shrugged. "I didn't say you couldn't make friends." She looked outside again, taking a closer look at the man. "He's been staring into the inn. I'm afraid he'd like to talk to you."
"Miss, stop talking nonsense. Have a glass of water." She put the poured tea in Chunxiao's hand, "Be careful of the heat." She simply walked over and closed the window.
"I think you have a special relationship with this man. Can't you tell me?" The two of them sat together, "Tell me about it, just as a heart-to-heart talk." In fact, she felt bored and wanted to gossip.
Xingfu looked at Chunxiao and suddenly smiled. "There's nothing to hide. We grew up together, and their home wasn't far from ours. When I was 16, he came to our house to propose marriage, but my parents didn't agree because they were poor. In the end, they married me to Zhang Fa from Zhangjia Village. That was over ten years ago, and we haven't seen each other for over a decade."
