"Old man, this dead girl is half dead, can you still sell her?"
"Who cares! If we don't sell it, we'll starve to death! Drag it over and sell it!"
What sound?
So noisy.
hiss--
Why does my arm hurt so much?
Zhang You opened his eyes and rubbed his arms.
Wait, this feeling? Huh?
Zhang You took a closer look.
These thin arms?
ah?
Am I being abused?
Zhang You looked carefully at the dilapidated house in front of him. It was leaking everywhere, with mud mixed with messy hay, and a strong smell of mud.
No way?
Being abducted and trafficked?
This little shabby house, can’t it?
A bunch of cases of trafficking in women and children flashed through Zhang You's mind. She couldn't help but sigh that she was unlucky to have run into one of them, while at the same time thinking about how to save herself.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man and woman in coarse shorts coming towards him.
"Hey! Wake up! Wake up! That's good! We can sell it at a low price."
The woman in front of him was pale and thin, with prominent cheekbones, and a pair of wrinkled hands were stretched out towards Zhang You.
Zhang You wanted to resist but suddenly found out - why am I out of strength?
Zhang You was pulled up forcefully, his body swaying.
No, my eyes went dark and I felt dizzy.
"Er Ya, don't blame your parents. This is all for the good of our family. We can't afford to raise a girl like you. Your brother is still young and needs to survive."
The thin man in front of him tied Zhang You's hands with a thick rope and dragged her away.
What Erya?
Return parents?
No, what's going on?
Zhang You was forced to listen to her adoptive father nagging about how difficult his life was and how helpless he was all the way, and her ears were so sore from listening.
If you really feel guilty, then don't sell your daughter.
Zhang You rolled his eyes in his heart.
She finally understood it along the way.
Who could have thought that she had traveled through time? No, who could have thought that?
Which good person would be sold as a slave after traveling through time?
She hadn't had a full meal and was still seeing stars. She was lucky to have managed to walk to this buyer, but she might not be so lucky soon because she felt like she was starving to death.
"Look, according to what we agreed on, one person is worth fifteen dou of rice. But you are so skinny and pale, with your arms and legs, and your face, you really can't be sold for that price. The most I can give you is ten dou."
"You... don't look at her thinness; she's very strong, and she eats little and does a lot of work. She'd be perfect as a housemaid. Look, we agreed on fifteen dou... If that doesn't work, thirteen dou will be fine. Winter's coming soon, and we can't give her any less. If she does, she won't survive."
There was so much chattering that Zhang You couldn't hear it clearly. She was so hungry and her stomach was empty, so it kept growling.
I'm so hungry. Really hungry.
Seeing that the buyer seemed to be persuaded to buy her, she thought that since he wanted to buy her, he couldn't just watch her starve to death.
So she trembled and stretched out her little chicken claw-like hand.
She grabbed the hem of the robe of the tall, fat, middle-aged man in front of her who looked very rich - at least very rich compared to her.
"Uncle, is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry."
The man hesitated for a moment, fumbled in his clothes, and took out a few dried dates.
"This is all I have. Take it for now. Once you enter the mansion, you won't be short of food."
Zhang You hurriedly snatched the dried dates from the buyer's hand and stuffed them into his mouth voraciously.
"Thank you, thank you." He mumbled his thanks.
never mind.
It’s good to have something to eat.
People still have to live.
Take your time to read the rest.
At least I can survive now that I've been sold.
It's better than continuing to starve to death in that shabby house.
Zhang You looked like she wanted to cry but had no tears.
It's already very good.
Zhang You had just finished building up her self-esteem, but her stepfather had already signed the indenture with the buyer, and the only thing missing was Zhang You's fingerprint.
"Come, girl, press your handprint and you will be my maid."
Zhang You looked at the indenture contract, which looked like a modern labor contract. If they were exploited, it would be game over easily.
However, if you sign, you can live now, but if you don’t sign, you won’t live until tomorrow!
Maybe you can even get to know some dignitaries and then soar to fame!
"Okay, where do you press?"
It turns out that the happiest moment is when I am PUAing myself.
The world looks beautiful now.
Life has hope again.
In the end, Zhang You was sold for thirteen dou of rice.
After signing the contract to sell herself, Zhang You followed the buyer on the way back to the owner's house.
She was extremely flattering all the way.
After all, you have become someone's slave, so you have to flatter your boss for the sake of your future.
Actually, I wanted to have a free meal early - the dried dates I had just now were okay to fill my stomach, but now I'm hungry again. If I don't eat, I'm really going to die.
"Uncle, what's your name? Judging from your attire, your master must be either rich or noble. You must hold an important position, otherwise you wouldn't be doing such an important job as selecting a servant like me."
"Haha, I take my master's surname, Qiao. You can just call me Manager Qiao." Manager Qiao silently wiped the sleeve that Zhang You had just touched, and a hint of contempt flashed across his face.
"Calling you Steward Qiao is too unfamiliar. You are my adopted parent, so I'd better call you Uncle Qiao. And what about the one you mentioned earlier about being in charge of the food...?"
Zhang You saw his behavior, smiled awkwardly, and rubbed his hands.
hey-hey.
My hands were sticky from handling the dried dates, and since they hadn't been washed, there was also some unknown black dirt mixed in, and I didn't notice that I had smeared it on the housekeeper.
