Chapter 13 You are easier to control than a dog!
Mrs. Zhou gathered the eldest, second and third sons of the Zhou family, led the team herself, and went out to Mr. Zhao's house in the town.
Before leaving, Lin Shiqi was also named.
Lin Shiqi is naturally a flatterer. Mrs. Zhou is not her mother-in-law, but her immediate superior. Just kidding, helping her immediate superior solve his problems is what she, as a subordinate, should do.
Went with him.
Of course, this was also her first time to go to town after traveling through time for a few days, making it more convenient for her to find out the terrain outside.
"Mother, please take my husband with you. He is tall and strong, and he knows how to beat people, even children... What if I need him? He listens to me and is easier to use than a dog."
Also get some benefits for Zhou Lang to go out and see the world.
Zhou Lang...
Lin Shiqi, you are easier to control than a dog!
You won't even let the children go.
What Mrs. Zhou needed at this time was manpower. When she went out to do things, she wanted to have the advantage of numbers, not to mention anything else.
She glanced at her fourth son, Zhou Lang. He was emotionally stable, tall, strong and powerful. He didn't say a word, and it was difficult for others to realize that he was a fool.
With a wave of hand.
"Take it with you."
The Zhou family came to the town in a mighty procession.
Lin Shiqi looked around. The town was not big, with only two streets in total. There was an ancient spring in the west of the town, called Longquan, which provided water for most of the people in the town. Therefore, the town was named Longquan Town.
Mr. Zhao is located in the west of the town, next to the Longquan Well.
At this time, many people were waiting at the door of Mr. Zhao's house, most of them were parents leading little girls, waiting at the door.
Still queuing.
People watching the excitement around were talking about it.
"Ah, there are so many people selling their children now..."
"That's right. There is a shortage of food and clothing everywhere. How can the Zhao family find such a good thing as hiring a maid and paying money? Therefore, there are a lot of people lining up to work as maids in the Zhao family these days."
"Why would the Zhao family need to buy so many maids, and they specifically picked out the most beautiful ones? They might be selling them somewhere, and there are people lining up every day..."
"That's because the Zhao family has many connections. No matter where it's sold to, they pay real money..."
"Most likely she went to some brothel and became a prostitute."
…
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou wanted to kill someone.
She glared at Wang with a knife-like gaze.
Wang shivered with fear, "Mom, I really don't know this..."
I dare not say more.
The Zhou family members went their separate ways to look for people among the queue.
Lin Shiqi and Zhou Lang were in the same group, and they quickly analyzed the problem.
"It takes less than half an hour to get to the town, and Zhou Yaomei set out before dawn because she was afraid that Mrs. Zhou would not allow her to go. So she ran ahead of time. If she had lined up, she would definitely be at the front. It was already after ten in the morning, so Zhou Yaomei might have already entered the Zhao Mansion."
"We can't find her outside. Let's go to the Zhao residence and look for her."
The two men worked together and found a place next to the low wall of the Zhao Mansion's courtyard. Zhou Lang lifted Lin Shiqi over his head and climbed into the courtyard of the Zhao Mansion. Zhou Lang jogged for help and climbed in nimbly.
Lin Shiqi was stunned.
"Zhou Lang, you're really good! I didn't realize that..." She thought Zhou Lang was a domineering young master who was spoiled by the Zhou family and needed to be fed. Unexpectedly, he was also quite good at kung fu.
Zhou Lang rolled his eyes at her.
Just ignore her.
The two of them came to the courtyard of Zhao's mansion.
Outside a house, the voices of young women talking could be faintly heard.
The two of them moved closer to take a look and saw a lecherous old man sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by a room full of teenage girls.
The lecherous old man held a stack of contracts in his hand.
"Sign your indentures and take the silver. From now on, work for me diligently. It doesn't matter if you can't write your own name. Just put your fingerprints on it..."
It was Zhou Yaomei's turn to sign the contract.
She was illiterate, and it sounded like a good thing. She chose to sell her contract and was only paid one or two taels of silver, but she would have a monthly stipend, two new sets of clothes for each season, meat for every meal, and silk clothes...
Fortunately, she arrived early and was among the first group of people selected.
Zhou Yaomei was just about to press her fingerprints happily.
Suddenly, someone rushed in like the wind, "Little sister, don't sign..."
He snatched the contract from her hand and tore it in half.
Zhou Yaomei's dream of being a wealthy maid was shattered, and she angrily said, "Third sister-in-law! I'll fight you!"
The Zhao family also reacted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into a private residence!"
Lin Shiqi didn't care and yelled at the top of his voice, "Mom, mom, I found my little sister! My little sister is here..."
The Zhao family wanted to step forward to drive Lin Shiqi away, but they were protected by the tall Zhou Lang, who also had martial arts skills, so those people could not get close to them at all.
Mrs. Zhou was anxiously looking for someone outside and had very sharp ears. When she heard Lin Shiqi's scream like a pig being slaughtered, she rushed in with several strong sons and daughters-in-law after a while.
Lin Shiqi basically doesn’t need to intervene in subsequent matters.
The whole family took Zhou Yaomei back.
Not only that, Mrs. Zhou also put her hands on her hips and scolded the Zhao family.
The servants of the Zhao family came to chase them away. Mrs. Zhou had many sons with her, so she cursed all the dirty words she could think of under the protection of her sons before she left.
Lin Shiqi made great contributions in finding Zhou Yaomei.
Mrs. Zhou scolded the whole family one by one, except Lin Shiqi.
Go back and continue eating breakfast.
Put Zhou Yaomei in solitary confinement.
Zhou Yaomei was still not convinced and kept crying and complaining that she didn't want to stay in this poor place anymore and wanted to go out and live a life of luxury. Later, it seemed as if Mrs. Zhou blocked her mouth with something and her voice became quieter.
Lin Shiqi and his wife sat at the seat where Zhou Yaomei was dining.
"Today, thanks to Lin's cleverness and my son's bravery, we were able to save my youngest sister. She was just a little bit away from pressing her handprint. Those vicious people wanted to destroy our Zhou family!"
Wang wanted to hang her head under the table.
Boss Zhou was also uncomfortable.
Old man Zhou coughed and said, "Alright, it's all over. It was all a misunderstanding, and it was all Young Sister's fault. How can we blame others? Let's set the table! We're all hungry."
Normally, Mrs. Zhou would definitely give him face.
Today, Mrs. Zhou was really angry.
"What's wrong with the youngest sister? She's just young and ignorant. How do other sisters-in-law treat their younger sisters? Even if they treat their younger sisters with all their heart, they won't lead her into trouble and let her deal with such a rotten thing."
"Today, I want to praise Lin and my fourth son. My fourth son was very well behaved when he went out today, and he even knew how to protect his wife. Even a fool like my fourth son knew how to protect his family. Some rotten-hearted people just don't know how to do that."
