The demands of the people have always been so simple, plain and simple.
For ordinary hard-working people, marrying a wife is of course for the purpose of having children and continuing the family line.
Work, what will you eat if you don’t work? Isn’t it possible to be a young mistress?
Men farm and women weave, this has been true since ancient times. How many young ladies have there been in the past?
"That's great, but what should I do if I don't have money?"
"What should I do? Get a loan!"
The auctioneer shouted loudly.
"My wife took a loan! My wife took a loan! It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money. Just take your wife home first. When you get paid, you can just pay her back on a monthly basis. Just pay back one yuan a month for four consecutive years."
"What a bargain! This deal is a bargain. It's such a bargain. If you pay one dollar a month, you can continue the family lineage!"
It is said that a "contract maid" is a maid who has signed a lifelong contract and "takes care of food, food and housing, and pays a dollar commission" every month, but what is the reality? It is just to circumvent the law. Everyone here is talking about it.
Understand, it is buying and selling.
As for what is the so-called "wife loan"? Of course it is a "family loan" jointly launched by banks and companies. What is its purpose? It is to help employees start families.
How warm! How considerate! It only charges a small amount of interest. The loan is 40 yuan, and the interest is only 8 yuan for four years.
"Hurry up, hurry up, Sun Guanghai, you see there are more and more people taking loans to buy their wives, we have to do it quickly, before we lose it by then!"
That person was right. People would arrive one after another. Occasionally, some people would just slap the tickets and ask loudly:
“If I buy something that doesn’t suit me, will it be replaced?”
The answer is always: "No change!"
"What should I do if I spend a lot of money and have debts for several years to buy something that is not suitable?"
Someone in the crowd will shout at the top of their lungs:
"What's wrong with it? Women, when the lights are turned on at night, they're all the same!"
The onlookers kept laughing, and the women wearing curtain hats and Hanfu moved a few times, praying in their hearts that they would be sold to good families.
Human trafficking is illegal!
But without this method, the problem of insufficient women cannot be solved, so this kind of disguised "lifelong contract" is very common in Nanhua, and the company turns a blind eye to it.
On the one hand, the development of Nanhua cannot be separated from the cheap labor force from China. On the other hand, the problem of a large number of bachelors in the labor force must be solved. Everyone knows that if there are no women, it is unclear whether these labor forces will become a social problem.
, but Nanhua definitely has no future.
Therefore, in the past few years, one labor service company has been established one after another. Their footprints have reached Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, Khmer, and even Malay, Indonesia, and Myanmar.
Women were bought and sold under various names, and then they were asked to put their fingerprints on contracts written in Spanish.
Why is it in Spanish...because they definitely can’t understand it!
In the past few years, hundreds of thousands of East and Southeast Asian women came to South China as "indentured maids". Their contracts were "sold" throughout South China. They gave birth to hundreds of thousands of children, and competition from labor companies also increased.
As a result, the price of maids has been falling again and again. A maid costs forty or fifty yuan. In fact, a horse costs more than dozens of yuan.
While the auction was going on, the person in charge shouted impatiently:
"If you want to buy it, hurry up. It's just over a hundred. If you don't have money, hurry up and apply for a loan. If it's late, you don't know when it will be your turn."
The people from the labor service company are absolutely right. Although there has been fierce competition among more than a dozen labor service companies in the past few years, and they have traveled all over East Asia and Southeast Asia, compared with the influx of more than half a million immigrants every year, Among them, less than one-fifth are women, and hundreds of thousands of indentured maids every year are simply not enough. The next time I come here, it will definitely be in the year of the monkey.
"This is a hundred dollars for me!"
Si Dongli said a little upset,
"I bought two at once. Why don't you give me a second look and warn me?"
"Don't show me, don't show me. This is the rule. If you do, I don't know when I will see you. Don't worry, this person definitely looks like a woman, and her body and bones must be in good shape."
The employee of the labor service company waved his hand,
"I see you have also read books. Don't you still understand this?"
Looking at the remaining dozen people, and then at the "sold" written on the form on the table, Si Dongli sighed: "That's it, let's just leave it like this! Buy two..."
One hundred dollars, two thin contracts, and with this lifelong contract, the two women he received became members of his family. Their household registrations would be registered in his name, and they would be protected by law. That kind of.
After inviting them to get on the carriage, Si Dongli did not let them open their curtains. He did not even say anything along the way, but silently drove the carriage home.
On the way back home on horseback, my boss Dongchuan would happily mutter:
"It's okay now, it's okay now, we have a wife... Dad, our family has a daughter-in-law..."
It was as if he had become a father at this time.
Finally, when he returned home, he saw a carriage parked in front of the barn. On the carriage were two women wearing lavender Chinese skirts. They were clothes given to maids by the labor service company. They were similar styles and colors.
"Brother, pick it up, pick it up..."
Looking at the woman sitting on the carriage, Si Dongchuan said a little anxiously.
"Then, that one is mine?"
"Lao Liu, I haven't looked at them since I met them, and I didn't let them look at me in the company. I don't know what they look like. No, now that they are here, you can choose one by yourself. Whether they are handsome or ugly, it all depends on them. God willing."
After listening to his elder brother's arrangements, Si Dongchuan waved his hands and said.
"Brother, look what you said, let them take off their hats. Brother, you choose the handsome one first..."
"Lao Liu..."
"Isn't it the old saying that Kong Rong gives pear to that one? Of course, this one should be seen and chosen first by the elder brother."
Si Dongchuan said with a smile.
"This, this, yes, yes, in ancient times Kong Rong gave away pears, and today Dongchuan gives in to his wife!"
As he was talking, he went up to take off the woman's hat, but Si Dongli stopped him as soon as he started.
"No matter what, you choose one, hurry up, and then we will get married tonight, hurry up, quickly..."
Seeing that his elder brother was angry, Si Dongchuan said quickly,
"Okay, okay, listen to big brother!"
As he spoke, he didn't even look at her, "Ah..." Amidst the woman's screams, he just picked one up and took her away.
Si Dongli said as he looked at the woman who was a little embarrassed and uneasy sitting in the carriage.
"Girl, don't worry, I will be good to you in the future..."
The woman quickly said in blunt Chinese.
"Thank you, thank you sir..."
