Lin Wanwan came to the dental clinic again, hoping to buy some more suitable people.
Yang Zhengping, a sturdy man from the dental shop, saw her coming, walked up to her and asked, "Little girl, who do you want to buy this time?"
"man!"
“Hahahaha!” He laughed loudly and said to the two big men next to him, “You little yellow-haired girl, are you still missing a man? We just got a group of them here, come in and take a look!”
"Little girl, you should find a husband seriously, hahahaha!"
Lin Wanwan glared at them, ignored them, and walked straight in.
After taking a look inside, I saw that there were indeed a lot more people inside, mostly children and women, and only seven or eight young men.
She looked at Yang Zhengping who had walked up to her and asked, "Brother, why are there so many more women and children?"
Yang Zhengping sighed and said, "Can't you see? These are all refugees! The Northwest was devastated. In order to feed their families, they sold their children and everything they could. These men sold themselves to keep their families alive. Look at how thin they are. I'm afraid they can't do heavy work anymore."
"It's okay, just go back and take care of it. My family is short of manpower in the spring, so it's just in time for me to take care of it."
"Okay! They used to be farmers and have never done anything wrong. So you want them all?"
Lin Wanwan nodded, looked at him and said, "I want all of these new ones you have!"
"What?"
Yang Zhengping was stunned. "I have 60 or 70 people here. Do you want all of them? How much land do you have?"
Lin Wanwan smiled at him and said, "My family has five or six hundred acres of land, so we can afford it."
"Oh my, you are a rich lady. I really didn't recognize you."
"Okay, big brother. My family is a farmer. We just have more land. Otherwise, how could we come to you to buy someone?"
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll calculate the money for you."
After waiting for a while, he came over with an old man, counting the people and calculating the price.
"Twenty-three children, fifteen taels each, eighteen women, twenty taels each, twenty old women and men, eighteen taels each, and young men, thirty-five taels each, a total of eight!"
The old man counted on his abacus, "The total is 1,345 taels!"
Lin Wanwan couldn't help laughing, and looked at Yang Zhengping and said, "Did you hire an accountant specifically for me?"
Yang Zhengping rolled his eyes at her and looked up at the sky, not looking at her.
"One thousand three hundred taels, I saved you forty-five taels, if you want it, take it away!"
"Brother, you are being too ruthless. I used to give these children to me, but you are asking for fifteen taels this time. It's too expensive. They are useless to me. Ten taels of silver, you won't need ten taels to buy them, right? And these older ones, fifteen taels, thirty taels for men, one thousand one hundred and thirty taels in total. I will buy them for one thousand one hundred taels, and we can go and pay the bill."
The accountant started calculating again, but he snatched the abacus away and angrily said, "Enough! Stop calculating! What are you still calculating for!" Then he turned around and glared at Lin Wanwan, "This time it's expensive! The price you gave is too low!"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Brother, the price I offered is not low, you will still make a profit."
"What a profit! They don't cost money to buy them! Or do they not want to eat or drink? Or do I not pay tribute or support my brothers?"
"Brother Yang, don't be angry! How about this, I'll treat you guys to a meal at Baiweiju at noon, how about that?"
His face looked better, and he snorted, "Do you know how many brothers we have? More than 30. Are you willing to go to Baiweiju?"
Lin Wanwan thought about it and realized that there wouldn't be enough space for more than 30 people, so she said, "Just set up the table at noon, and I'll have them bring it to you! Okay?"
"What if you don't keep your word?"
"Brother, we have met so many times, do you think I am someone who doesn't keep my word?"
"Well, okay, then go over there and pay the bill. We'll also try the food at Baiweiju for lunch today!"
"Ah? No way, you've never been there to eat?"
Yang Zhengping glared at her again, "We can't make any money, so what are we going to do?"
"Isn't it possible? This person should earn half the price, right?"
"What do you know, little girl? We are a legitimate pawnbroker, approved by the government. We have to make arrangements with various parties every year, so how can we not spend money? For this group of people, the price is high when they are bought, because they all want to feed their families, so there is no big profit."
Lin Wanwan nodded. She thought it was just like picking cabbages, but she didn’t expect the government to be in charge of these dental clinics.
"Are there any traffickers? Will the price be cheaper?"
The big man immediately covered her mouth with his hand and looked around.
"My dear aunt, please don't mess with me! If I am reported to the authorities, they will investigate it strictly! I might even go to jail!"
"Ugh! Pfft, you didn't kidnap anyone, what are you afraid of!"
"I didn't kidnap anyone, but the government is investigating! They are investigating everyone who has been sold in the past two years. What if they find something wrong? It's like a child who can't talk is sold to us. He can't talk, so how do we know if he was kidnapped? But the government doesn't care. If they find out, we will all be put in jail for two years!"
"Ah? So serious?"
Lin Wanwan could only give a thumbs up in her heart. In order to prevent child trafficking, the local government has done a great job!
"It's even worse! For example, if I really participated in child trafficking and was found out by the government, I would be beheaded! It would also affect my sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons, and I would be cursed wherever I go."
Well, the kidnapper really deserves to be killed.
