Chapter 82: Recruiting Slaves
In order to tame Han Ming, Song Liyun decided to lure him with food first, and if he refused... then release the monkey.
Only after seeing Hei Jin did Han Ming completely believe that Song Liyun was a human.
Heijin was the "great immortal" from last night.
Communication became easier after that. After the shock, he was willing to stay and be a slave.
At least Song Zhenping in this family is a good person, and Heijin is just an ugly beast that really doesn't eat people.
Song Liyun was deliberately ignored by him.
This woman is not a human, she is a demon, she has made herself confused.
All the embarrassing things in my life have been seen by others.
After a detailed discussion, the Song siblings learned of Han Ming's true experience and that he was only 38 years old. They felt deeply sorry for his tortuous life.
As for him saying that he was a disaster star, none of the Song family members reacted much.
All happiness in the world is the same, but all pain is different.
When it comes to misery, Xiao An is probably the one who has the most say.
He lost his father before he was born and became a posthumous child.
From the day he was born, he was labeled as a "jinx".
And there is Song Zhenping.
At the age of nine, he became an orphan who lost both his parents. Not only did he have no one to take care of him, he also had to raise a six-month-old baby, and was beaten to a disability by his uncle.
As for Song Liyun, she started working to support her family at the age of seven. The world in her original memory was the pile of endless dishes in the corner of the restaurant.
The lonely Heijin almost went crazy in the mansion.
Another disaster star comes, and two negatives add up to a positive, which probably also foreshadows the beginning of Baolinju's prosperity.
At the end of the conversation, Song Zhenping realized that Han Ming was not a cripple, which made Han Ming himself burst into laughter.
Song Liyun didn't know that it was Song Zhenping's kindness that made Han Ming truly fall in love with Baolinju from the bottom of his heart.
Song Zhenping was not used to having Han Ming be his family's servant. He said to Song Liyun, "Yun'er, we are all poor, how can we afford to keep a servant?
It's cold now, so let's keep it for two months. When it gets warmer, let Uncle Han go back to farming."
If Han Ming had been allowed to go an hour ago, he would have been happy. But now he felt that Baolinju was a good place and there was no danger to his life. He really didn't want to leave.
But Song Zhenping was unwilling to accept a servant, and Han Ming was not anxious. He had his own solution: "Boss Ping, why don't you hire me to do the work?
One penny a month, food and shelter, and clothes are all I need. I have the strength to do anything."
"Okay, then I'll give you fifty coins a month."
When Song Zhenping heard that they were looking for help, he had no psychological burden and accepted it happily. He also generously paid fifty cents as wages.
Song Liyun looked at Han Ming's tattered pants and jacket, and knew that he would not have a good life in the coming years.
After Jin Sanchong's little disturbance, she also didn't want to be too prominent too early, so the term "hired worker" was reasonable.
Now that Song Zhenping had spoken well of Han Ming, she agreed without hesitation: "Han Ming, although you are just hired, there is a difference between master and servant.
Since you're not young anymore, we siblings will call you Uncle Han. I hope you don't object."
Among the three siblings, Song Zhenping is the oldest, only nineteen, and Han Ming is twice his age.
"No objection!" Han Ming nodded repeatedly.
He used to be a servant in the family and knew the rules.
Now the boss calls him Uncle Han, not an uncle, but as a servant, how to address him is naturally decided by the master.
If one could be given a surname by the master, that would be the highest level of being a slave.
"Okay! Uncle Han, you will live in the front yard, help with housework during the day, and be alert at night to watch out for thieves digging the wall." Song Liyun made simple arrangements for the work.
When Han Ming heard the warning of being careful of poaching, his face immediately turned red.
He was caught digging the wall last night and just picked up the hoe from the wall.
That night, Han Ming moved into the front yard gatehouse.
The next morning, he cleaned the yard, drew water from the well, and then followed Song Zhenping to grind acorns and tend to the vegetable seedlings.
Grinding acorn flour is not an uncommon job, but the lush green vegetable patch in the backyard shocked Han Ming, and he could hardly believe his eyes.
The land outside the town had been barren of crops two months ago. Now, apart from dead grass, there was nothing but snow. No one would have thought that there would be green vegetables in the Song family's backyard.
Han Ming clicked his tongue.
He suddenly felt like vomiting the night before because he remembered that there were green leaves in the vegetables he ate. He was frightened and thought it was a trick of witchcraft or ghosts.
Song Liyun was not idle that day. She went to the town early in the morning and asked Boss Mu to hand over a bag of acorn flour and a few pounds of grain to the "Respect for the Elderly Hall" on her behalf, and then went directly to Suijin Guard Station.
Song Liyun did not ask to see Captain Luo, but asked someone to pass a message to Zhou Xiaoqi.
Before leaving, Song Dekui brought two Xiaoqi to visit Baolinju so that she could have someone to discuss things with when she had problems.
Zhou Xiaoqi quickly left the camp to see her.
"Miss Song!"
"Brother Zhou! When are you free to come to my house for dinner with Brother Lin?"
Song Dekui is called uncle by the Song brothers and sisters because of their seniority.
Everyone has their own way of interacting with each other, and Zhou Xiaoqi and Lin Xiaoqi have no objection.
It has been a while since they last had dinner at Baolinju, and Zhou Xiaoqi and his friend have not been there again.
Firstly, it is due to military discipline, and secondly, there are only brothers and sisters in the Song family, so it is not easy for men like them to visit casually.
But the food was so delicious that when I heard I had to go again, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva and thought to myself:
The girl from the Song family came here suddenly, probably because she encountered some trouble.
Zhou Xiaoqi thought for a moment and said, "How about this! Lin Tao is out of camp on a mission and won't be back until tonight. If there's nothing urgent, we can take a day off tomorrow and come over at noon. What do you think?"
It's rare for the Song family to come to me, so there must be something going on. It would be better to find a few more people in the camp this time.
Song Liyun smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. A few nights ago, a thief came and tried to break into the house but we scared him away.
My brother and I thought that the townspeople must have been interested in us because they saw that we lived outside and there were few people there.
These things are small, and we don’t want to alarm the camp.
We brothers and sisters would like to invite you to come over and sit with us, and also support us and gather some popularity."
Hearing that they were just joining in the fun to scare the little thief, Zhou Xiaoqi laughed and said, "Okay, I'll definitely help you with this."
Song Liyun quickly added, "If there are any brothers in the camp who are close to Brother Zhou and Brother Lin, invite them as well."
Zhou Xiaoqi smiled even more happily: "Miss Song, you are so polite. I would like to thank you on behalf of my brothers."
After leaving the garrison, Song Liyun hurried back to Baolin Residence. She said to Han Da and Song Zhenping, who were still grinding acorns, "I've invited Zhou Xiaoqi to dinner the day after tomorrow. We can set traps in the mountains right now to catch some game to add to the dishes."
Ever since the snow started falling a few days ago, Song Liyun has been thinking about this.
She is going up the mountain to hunt.
There is snow on the mountain, and animals leave footprints when they come out to look for food, making it easier to catch them.
The most important thing is that all the chickens, eggs and meat in her space have been eaten up, and she has started to eat vegetarian food in the past few days.
There is still a big fat pig in the space that has not been dealt with, but Song Zhenping doesn't like her to always touch the "treasure bag", saying that she should rely on her own hard work to get rich and not damage her fortune.
If Song Liyun didn't listen, he would keep nagging her.
