Chapter 47 Selling People
Feng understood now, "You want the Li family to help you find a marriage partner for that little Si Ya?"
Old Master Gu nodded slowly: "The Li family has many connections, and they can find people from villages a hundred miles away. Si Ya has a strong temper, and if she marries someone close by, she will probably run back. We can only find people from families that are far away."
Feng had no objection to marrying Gu Tang off. She was eager to get this done as soon as possible.
However, Feng had some other ideas in mind about this candidate.
"I originally thought that since Si Ya can earn money, it would be better to marry her back to my family. In the future, she can at least help the Feng family."
Old Master Gu glanced at her in astonishment. "If I remember correctly, the boys in the Feng family who are of the same age as Si Ya, two are studying, and two are learning to be accountants in Bei'an City. You have always looked down on Si Ya, so are you willing to act as a matchmaker?"
Feng curled her lips in disdain: "The four boys of the Feng family are the most prominent among the grandchildren! How can that little rascal like Si Ya be worthy of them? I'm talking about the lame boy from my third brother's family."
The lame boy from the third son of the Feng family?
Old Master Gu narrowed his eyes and barely remembered something. "I heard that the kid fell from the mountain and broke his leg?"
"Yes, he fell off a mountain and broke his leg a few years ago. It happened when Tianbao was three years old. It's been over ten years now."
"By this calculation, this age must be quite old, right?"
Feng calculated silently for a while, then said, "She should be twenty-five this year, a round older than Si Ya. That's nothing, it's better to be older, she knows how to be caring and tolerant. Si Ya has a bad temper, so she needs to find someone older!"
Old Master Gu shook his head: "I'm afraid the second son will not agree, and the Feng family may not be able to suppress the fourth girl. Don't let anything go wrong, it will be difficult for you to be caught in the middle.
In my opinion, we should marry Si Ya off far away, the farther the better! Si Ya is pretty, so we can collect more betrothal gifts. We won’t care about her life or death in the future, and we will just pretend she never existed.”
"Will the second son be willing?" Feng was a little dissatisfied. If the second son did not agree to marry her into the Feng family, would he agree to marry her into another family far away?
"Do you have to tell him in person?" Old Master Gu glared at Feng and cursed her inwardly for being stupid.
He added, "Just tell the Li family directly. As long as the betrothal gifts are delivered, they can secretly kidnap the girl! Tell everyone that Si Ya is missing. Here, we have lost a few girls every year."
Feng paused and thought, if that was the case, it would be better to sell the person to a brothel!
Even if the betrothal gift is much, how much is it? It is much more cost-effective to sell the person.
Thinking of this, Feng leaned over, told her husband her idea, and asked him if it would work.
Old Master Gu didn't say anything. He pondered for a long time before saying, "Let's ask someone from the Li family to come and take a look at the person first. Let them estimate the price. Is it more money to marry her off or to sell her off..."
After hearing this, Feng knew what was going on. She turned around and left the house to go to Wangzhai Village in search of Gu Laian.
Gu Laian was sleeping in the house at this time. He had just been beaten by his father a few days ago, so now was the time to behave himself and did not dare to cause any more trouble.
Even when Gu Tang came back with the deer just now, he only dared to open the door a little and look in, and didn't even dare to leave the house.
Feng shouted at his door, and then pushed the door open and tried to go in without caring whether Gu Laian answered or not.
But as soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of urine immediately came out, causing Feng to take two steps back and curse.
"You dirty bastard! Are you treating your room as a toilet? How much piss have you peed in this room?"
Feng's rude scolding made Gu Laian's face turn red instantly. He sat up from the bed, put on his clothes and hurried out.
Feng pinched her nose and took two steps closer. She saw the urine bucket in the room and immediately became furious. She pointed at Gu Laian who was walking over and continued to scold him.
"It hasn't even snowed yet! You've brought the urine bucket into the house? Why don't you just die of laziness! Don't live in this house tomorrow. Let your father build you a shack next to the toilet, and you can live next to it so you can pee in the toilet without getting out of bed!"
Gu Laian shrank his neck and didn't dare to respond even when he was scolded.
Feng loved to see the younger generations below her being afraid of her, which made her feel very comfortable, and she scolded them even more fiercely.
She vented all the anger she had suffered from Gu Tang on Gu Laian, tapping on his head and scolding him for a long time before she stopped.
Gu Laian was so frightened that he was shaking all over. He lowered his head and didn't dare to breathe.
After scolding, Feng calmed down and began to order people around: "Go to your aunt's home in Wangzhai Village and tell her that your grandfather is ill and ask her to come back to see him."
"Ah, ah..." Gu Laian's voice trembled and he kept nodding his head.
He put on his clothes in a hurry, walked past Feng carefully, and ran towards the gate of the courtyard.
This action naturally caused Feng to scold him again.
With her hands on her hips, Feng cursed several times at the courtyard gate, then she turned around and went to the main room.
When passing by the room where Gu Lianshan lived, Feng couldn't hold back the greed in her heart and reached out to push her son's door.
The deer is tied up in my son's room. I wonder if that dead girl is there now.
As soon as the door opened, Feng saw Gu Tang staring at her not far behind the door and was immediately startled.
Then his face changed, he spat on the ground, cursed, "Bad luck!", then turned and left.
I was afraid that Gu Tang would stop me and harass me again.
Gu Tang: ...Did I give you face? !
She can't stand this!
She heeled out, but before she could call for help to talk it over, she saw Gu Ping'an appear at the gate of the courtyard.
Gu Tang paused, put aside the idea of quarreling with Feng for the time being, waved to Gu Ping'an, and motioned him to come into the house.
Gu Ping'an nodded at her, but did not enter the yard immediately. Instead, he waited until Feng returned to the main room before walking in quietly.
When he entered his father's house, he was immediately startled by the moose in the house.
Gu Tang patted the antlers ostentatiously: "How is it? Are you rare? I just caught it from the mountain today!"
It took Gu Ping'an a while to come back to his senses. He gave Gu Tang a thumbs up and said, "Second sister is really amazing! Even an experienced hunter who has been hunting for decades may not be able to catch such a big deer, and it's a live deer!"
"That's it!" Gu Tang raised his chin proudly, indicating that he could touch it as well.
The moose was too big, and Gu Ping'an was a little timid. He stretched out his hand and tried for a long time before he could touch it. The excitement on his face was really funny.
Gu Tang laughed at him twice and asked, "Have you asked about the dishes?"
"Hi, the village head has a lot of vegetables for sale this year, both with and without skins. You can exchange them for things or buy them with copper coins."
Gu Tang nodded, whispered to him that he was planning to pickle vegetables, and asked him to help at home in the next two days.
"You need a pickling jar to pickle vegetables. Do we have one at home?" Gu Ping'an helps Feng make pickles every year. He is familiar with this job better than anyone else.
