Chapter 33 Watching Them
The madam lowered the redemption price to five taels.
But even if it was five taels of silver, Liu Changying would not agree.
He also said that the brothel owner cheated him.
He shouted that he would not redeem Chunmian no matter what.
More and more people gathered around, pointing and talking at the old procuress.
Many customers say that the madam is a scoundrel and they don’t want to go to her house to have fun.
This old procuress is capable.
Say nice things with a smug face.
He grabbed Liu Changying and refused to let him leave no matter what.
Venereal disease is almost impossible to cure, and even if it is cured, it will still damage your appearance.
Chunmian is already old and has few customers and does not make any money.
Even if you are sold to the lowest-class brothel, you won't make much money.
Now finally someone is willing to redeem her.
How could the madam let him go?
The main thing is that the madam is now in a difficult situation.
If she didn't sell the person and kept him in her hands, it would ruin the girl's reputation.
I thought all these girls were sick.
Then who dares to come!
The madam had no choice but to lower the price again.
He said that for only four taels of silver, he could take the person away.
Chunmian was also allowed to take two sets of clothes with him.
Normally, girls are not allowed to take anything with them when they leave a brothel.
Being able to bring two sets of clothes is already a special favor.
Girls usually give out the money secretly and let the people who redeem them take it, because it is not safe anyway.
It is very likely that your money will be wasted in the end.
After hearing what the madam said, Liu Changying still disagreed.
He made a gesture to leave and had no intention of redeeming himself.
Said he wanted to go to other brothels...
The madam also became anxious and tried to hold him back.
Finally, the price was lowered to three taels, and Liu Changying was a little hesitant.
He also asked the madam if the disease could be cured.
If it can't be cured, he still doesn't want it.
The madam told him that syphilis could be cured, but it just required careful care.
The madam said that she had too many girls under her command and could not take care of them all, otherwise, she would not agree to redeem Chunmian.
This is a good deal for Liu Changying.
Liu Changying looked a little silly, as if he believed the madam's words.
The three servants behind him, some advised him to buy it, while others advised him to take a closer look.
Look at Liu Changying hesitating.
At first, the madam suspected that Chunmian had colluded with this man to come here to plot against her.
But seeing that Liu Changying and his group also disagreed to buy her.
Gradually I felt relieved.
I was holding back my determination and was determined to sell Chunmian today.
At this time, most of the customers have arrived, so as not to affect business.
The madam gritted her teeth and finally reduced the price to two taels.
Just two taels can take your spring sleep away.
"She's still a woman after all!"
"If you cure your illness, you can not only have a baby, but also warm your bed!"
"Serving people is a breeze!"
"And he is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting!"
"You probably don't know that before Chunmian, she was our most beautiful lady!"
That’s true. Chunmian was indeed popular for a while in the past.
But my face has aged.
Liu Changying still hesitated!
The madam got angry this time too, "Forget it, get out of here!"
"If you don't buy it, I'll sell it to someone else!"
"Someone must want it!"
Chunmian looked at Liu Changying hesitantly.
"You, just redeem me..."
Liu Changying pretended not to be able to bear it.
Finally, he reluctantly paid two taels of silver and redeemed Chunmian.
He also took back her indenture.
The madam was very angry and didn't let her take anything with her when she left.
She was even asked to take off her outer clothes.
She was also searched.
You are not allowed to take a single penny away.
Fortunately, Liu Changying thought of it in advance and prepared clothes.
Although it is a man's piece of clothing, it is better than being naked.
She was also smart. She gave her money to Liu Yong in advance and asked him to keep it.
When they walked out of the Qinghua Tower, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't too late and it wasn't dark yet.
They hurriedly took Chunmian, also known as Baishuang, to the county government office.
Liu An works here and is very familiar with the masters and managers here.
He explained the situation, took out a few taels of silver, and used it to make arrangements.
In the end, Bai Shuang's status was changed from a lowly person to a good person.
Only then can things be truly settled.
They really relaxed.
Liu Changying kept his promise and gave all the remaining ten taels of silver to Bai Shuang, letting her keep it for herself.
Bai Shuang refused at first, thinking that redeeming her and changing her household registration was already a great favor.
But Liu Changying said it was for her son Liu Yong.
He also needs to study, which must cost a lot.
Bai Shuang has lost her livelihood and will be even more short of money in the future.
Now this is nothing.
Bai Shuang thought of her son and finally had no choice but to accept it.
Originally, Bai Shuang didn't want to live with Liu Changying's family.
The main reason is that I don’t want to owe them any more favors.
But who would have thought that Liu Zheng would kneel on the ground and call her aunt.
"From now on, you are my dear aunt!"
"Liu Yong will be my brother from now on!"
Bai Shuang's eyes turned red.
"I, I don't deserve it..."
Liu Zheng shook his head, "No, you don't deserve it!"
"I don't care what others think, I've chosen you!"
"You can treat me as one of your sons!"
"I will be filial to you!"
Liu Yong's eyes also turned red, and this time he really forgave Liu Zheng.
He personally helped Liu Zheng up.
Liu Changying also advised, "Miss Bai, the two children still need to study hard to prepare for future exams!"
"You stay at our house, and Liu Yong can come and stay here often!"
"Two people can discuss knowledge together!"
"You won't make a difference to our family. It'll just be one more mouth to feed!"
"It's nothing serious!"
"My wife has probably prepared the room!"
Liu Yong thought about it and was too embarrassed to advise him.
"Mom, my current foster parents' house is very small and there is really not enough space..."
When he said this, he felt a little embarrassed. But it is true.
He felt that there was no difference between owing the Liu family once and owing them twice.
He will study hard and repay his family when he becomes an official in the future.
Finally, for the sake of her son, Bai Shuang decided to go to Liu's house first.
If you feel okay, then stay.
If that didn't work, she would use her remaining silver.
Buy a small yard in the village and live in it.
Then they took the ox cart borrowed by Liu Changying and returned to Haojiagou Village together.
Bai Shuang felt that the Liu family was really great.
Not only did he not look down on her, he also treated her to such a sumptuous meal.
Bai Shuang felt warm in her heart.
Finally, he was pulled by Mrs. Hao and settled down there permanently.
Liu Shiqi smiled and directed his father and two brothers to move things.
Replaced the old tables and cabinets in the east courtyard with the ones in the east courtyard.
Everyone was busy.
Liu Yong also came up to help. It was rare for him to have a smile on his face, looking a little silly.
Liu Shiqi even joked, "Brother Liu Yong, the two of us standing together look like the Black and White Impermanence!"
Everyone almost laughed to death!
Liu Yong scratched his head embarrassedly, "I am indeed a little darker!"
Liu An looked at Liu Shiqi with amusement and shook his head.
"How can you talk about yourself like that?"
Old Man Zhong knocked her on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about at this hour of night!"
Liu Shiqi held his head and looked at Old Man Zhong, "You are like the King of Hell! Very fierce!"
Everyone burst into laughter again!
Suddenly, Liu Shiqi lowered the corners of his lips and squinted at the mountains in the distance.
She felt that someone was staring at them...
