Chapter 39 Buying People
After Bao'er went to school that day, Li Zheng went to the home of Wang the broker. She thought that since he was a broker, he should have someone on his hands or someone he knew, so she planned to buy someone from the broker. She planned to adapt to the local customs and buy someone back. After all, everyone in her family was a little different, so it would be more reassuring to have the indenture in hand.
Li Zheng walked to the entrance of the alley and followed her memory to Wang Ya's house. The door was still closed as usual. "Knock knock knock."
"Who is it?" The voice was filled with impatience. "It's you, what are you doing here?" He remembered that this girl had just settled down a while ago, so why did she come here again?
"Wang the broker, I'm planning to buy someone, so I came to ask you something." This guy has a bad temper and I don't know how he became a broker. Isn't a broker supposed to be versatile and eloquent?
"Oh, sure, what kind are you planning to find?" Looking at the girl's fair skin with a rosy complexion, it seemed that she was living a pretty good life.
"I want to find someone who is strong and can do the work, preferably a woman." Usually, it is just her and Baoger at home, so it is not convenient to find a man.
"A female? Yes, there is." Wang Yaren lowered his head and thought for a moment, but there was some doubt in his words.
"What's wrong?" Is there something wrong?
"This person does meet your requirements, but no one has bought her yet. I won't lie to you. Her parents both died, so she sold herself to bury them. She is filial and stubborn, but she has a big appetite, so no one has bought her yet. Do you want to buy her?" This person has been in his hands for many days, and she has a lot of food. It would be good to get rid of her.
"Can I see him first?" It's good to be strong, and eating a lot is not a big deal. I just don't know what the person is like, so it's more reassuring to see him.
"Well, let's go." He turned around and locked the door, putting the key in his arms. It seemed that this was his home, not the place where he sold people.
Wang Yaren led the way, and Li Zheng followed him through many twists and turns until they arrived at a relatively remote house where the surroundings were relatively quiet.
Wang Yaren pushed the door open and someone came over. "Brother Wang, we're here. Are there guests? Wait a moment." He hurried back to the room. He must be working for Wang Yaren and usually lives here. There's a large room on the left and a large room on the right, so he probably lives there.
"Let's go." He went straight into the main room, and she followed him in and sat on the left. At this time, the man came over and placed the brewed tea next to her. "Thank you."
"Oh, no, no." He quickly waved his hands and said he couldn't bear it.
"Okay, Li Guier, go ahead and bring Wang Yue over."
"Hey." Wang Gui'er went downstairs after seeing the master's order, but she was thinking in her heart, has someone finally bought this girl Wang Yue? It seems that her family is rich.
Less than a moment later, Wang Guier brought a woman over. If it weren't for her obvious feminine features, no one would have mistaken her for a girl. How could one describe her face? Some girls have masculine features, and her body is very strong. No wonder she has remained so long and no one wants her. Generally, those who buy people are wealthy families, mostly serving young ladies and young masters. They will choose those who are beautiful and graceful, so that they can show off when they go out and keep them by their side. This kind of people are probably bought because they are extremely short of talent. However, although this person is wearing coarse linen clothes, it can be seen that she is a martial artist, and her eyes are not wandering around. She is also filial. It seems that she has taken advantage of this opportunity. Although others may not think they have taken advantage, they may even feel that they have lost out.
"I want it, let's just sign the contract."
Such a direct attitude surprised Wang Guier a little, but she was tactful enough not to say anything.
Although Wang Yue didn't move around, she could still feel Li Zheng's scrutiny. She immediately said she wanted to buy her without asking any questions. That was too quick. She looked at him again carefully. Judging from the look in his eyes, he must be planning to take her. He wasn't kidding.
"Okay, let's go to the government office to sign the contract." She stood up, adjusted her clothes, and led the two to the government office. During the way, Wang Yue was secretly looking at the lady she was going to serve. Wang Yue, who thought he was very secretive, didn't realize that she was actually holding back. Wang Yue looked at her several times along the way. If you have any questions, just say it directly. This strange look made her uncomfortable!
After signing the contract at the government office, Wang Ya Ren parted ways with her. "Let's go, follow me back." Seeing Wang Yue's silence all the way, he thought it would be better to bring up a topic himself. "Well, my name is Li Zheng, and I will be your master in the future. I, your master, have a younger brother. Oh, and an older brother, but he's in the army, so you won't see him for the time being. We're just an ordinary family. The reason I bought you is because I run a small food shop at home, and I'm a little too busy, so I wanted to find someone to help. Well, you're the one. I heard you have a big appetite. Although my family is not rich, we can still feed you. Usually, you just need to help me wash some things, it's very simple."
"I understand." Wang Yue thought to herself that the young lady was a really good person. She had heard from the maid before that young ladies usually wouldn't tell you this or that. You had to rely on yourself to guess. Otherwise, how could you become a personal maid? When she heard this, she felt that she couldn't become a personal maid. Her mind was not working properly. And the young lady also said that she would have enough food to eat. What a kind person.
It was already noon when she got home. Seeing how much she ate, she estimated that she had cooked five servings of rice. Wow, they had almost finished it all. However, she thought a large meal would be enough for ten people, but it turned out to be only enough for three. This was too exaggerated. Rumors really can't be trusted.
Wang Yue touched her full stomach at this time. She hadn't felt this way for a long time, which made her more convinced that the girl was a good person.
"Girl, is there anything I can do?" Since the girl bought it, I have to work for her. She is very energetic now.
"Well, can you help me clean the little red shrimps in the basin? I have to sell them this afternoon."
When he heard that it was for sale, Wang Yue looked more carefully.
Seeing Wang Yue's speed, Li Zheng suddenly felt that her hands were freed, and it was indeed much easier. With one more person, the speed was much faster. She started stir-frying snails and small red shrimps early this afternoon. Fewer people bought oden recently, so she didn't serve it. I think it's because it gets hot earlier in the south.
Wang Yue smelled the aroma of fried snails and fried red shrimps and started to drool. He didn't expect that his daughter was such a good cook that she could even make these insects smell so good.
