Chapter 29 The right to challenge

"If he really wants to follow, it's not impossible." Chang Xiaojiu said lightly.

She asked herself to show that it doesn't matter whether Ashun or not, but as soon as she finished speaking, Ashun couldn't wait: "Young master, Ashun is willing, Ashun is willing to follow the young master to serve the young master, Ashun can do any job."

Alas, this kid! You will definitely be even more annoyed when you are in charge of this ship. Chang Xiaojiu glanced at Ashun helplessly.

"Look at this unscrupulous bastard, an unfamiliar ungrateful wolf. When we were wandering and begging for food, our ship owner took him in. He has been caring for him for food for the past two years, but he actually wanted to climb the high branches and leave." The ship manager was very angry. When he saw the passengers coming out, he didn't care whether he would disturb the guests' rest at any time.

"You guys, that's wrong. You should be grateful. Since you are desperate, the boss of the boat took you in. Shouldn't you just do your best to repay you?"

"Yes, this young man, a boy like him, is unbearable. If you look back, you will betray you."

"It's so heartless."

The passengers on the watch were talking none of them standing on Ashun's side to speak for him.

"I have a conscience. I have worked hard for the past two years, but I have not done less than their adults. What I eat every day is leftovers, and there are also overnights, and sometimes it is rotten. What I wear is the old clothes and shoes that my grandson cannot wear on the dock." Ashun was so aggrieved that he almost cried.

Chang Xiaojiu felt a sudden thrill of what Ashun said later, and he had never said this to himself.

"Master, what Ashun said is true?" Chang Xiaojiu asked with his efforts.

"What's true or false? It would be nice to take him in. It's not adopted to be the young master." The ship manager said with confidence without any guilt.

"This young man, what the ship manager said makes sense. No matter what, this boy has not starved to death or frozen to death in the past two years. It would be nice if someone was willing to take him in." A passenger in his fifties next to him persuaded him.

"Maybe this kid doesn't want to do it on this boat, so he deliberately added fuel to the fire and cheated the young master in an exaggerated way. Do you want to win the young master's sympathy?" Another boatman echoed.

Listening to such words, Chang Xiaojiu really didn't know what to say.

She walked up and led Ashun to the passengers of the boat and stopped: "Everyone said that this child is not conscience and is ungrateful, but why do you believe what he said? Ashun, rolled up his sleeves and trousers and legs to show you."

Ashun held his tears hard, rolled up his sleeves obediently, and leaned over to roll up his trouser legs.

Just as I rolled up my sleeves, there was a female boat passenger next to me.

Chang Xiaojiu really wants to say that if you are not blind, you can see the scars on Ashun's arms and legs.

But I can't say that if I want to take Ashun away successfully, I may need the assistance of these people.

"Then he is clumsy and always does wrong things. He doesn't have to worry about it. My own children do wrong things, and they also have to fight." The ship manager quickly spoke up to defend himself.

"No, I did nothing wrong, I beat him too. He beat him even harder after drinking." Ashun also took the initiative.

"You little rabbit cub." The ship manager rushed over in anger, and Chang Xiaojiu suddenly blocked Ashun.

"Young Master, please get out of the way. I will teach my subordinates a lesson. If you accidentally hurt your son, don't care." The ship manager said to Chang Xiaojiu now, but he didn't say good to him.

Chang Xiaojiu knew that if he was not a guest in this Class A cabin, the ship manager would not have any concerns at all.

Yu Guang saw that Xiao Junyi and his servant also walked out and looked here.

Because he didn't want to have a close relationship with him anymore, Chang Xiaojiu didn't plan to ask him to help him.

Ashun's matter is just a challenge for him.

If this matter cannot be solved, you can imagine what else will happen to you on the long journey of slowly searching for Ye Fan in the future.

"Boy who works? Then I'll ask, how much wages do you give him for more than two years of working on this boat?" Chang Xiaojiu asked.

When the ship manager heard this, he frowned and thought that he was careless and was taken advantage of. "The one who kindly wanted to take him in was still a half-year-old child. What kind of things can he do? It would be good to not accept him before meals, what kind of wages."

When Chang Xiaojiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Take in? If you understand it correctly, take in means that he is not selling himself to you, he is free?"

When the ship manager heard this, he really wanted to slap himself in the face. What's wrong with this? Is his brain not good?

The ship manager felt that he was a versatile person, but the young man in front of him was really good at talking, which made him unable to resist: "Don't mention these things. Since this unscrupulous boy doesn't want to stay here, we are still unwilling to support him in vain. But one thing is that in the past two years, he has always given him food, clothing and housing. He said he just wanted to leave, but he left like this?"

Finally, he turned to the topic, and Chang Xiaojiu laughed twice in his heart.

"I want money, right? I don't know how much do you want in the boat manager? If I have too much, I won't give it to you. I have been on the boat these days, but that's because he is young and works seriously.

If I ask me to pay more money for him, I won’t be a sucker.” Chang Xiaojiu sneered.

When Ashun heard this, he bit his lip with sadness and lowered his head.

"Haha, have you heard it clearly? This great charity man you want to follow, although this Young Master Ye treats you well, but if you pay extra money, they won't do it." The ship manager said loudly to Ashun.

Seeing Ashun's head lowered, Chang Xiaojiu felt distressed, and at this time he couldn't say anything to the child.

"Tell me the price, I'll think about it." Chang Xiaojiu said.

"I don't even open my mouth. I'm fifty taels of silver. You can take it away by the young master." The ship manager thought for a while and spoke.

Chang Xiaojiu was about to speak, but Ashun rushed to speak: "Young master, don't worry about me, I won't leave with you."

Fifty taels, that's the salary for a year of ship manager.

Chang Xiaojiu reached out and patted Ashun on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry: "Fifty taels, what are you kidding about the boat manager? Ashun was not bought by you. Even if you care about his food, clothing and housing for two years, he has not eaten in vain for more than two years. What's more, he is wearing old clothes and shoes given by Grandma the Wharf.

Fifty taels, you really dare to speak out. Now you buy a strong and strong adult, at most, it will be more than twenty taels. Buy a girl who looks good at writing and writing, at most, it will not exceed thirty taels.

Such a thin and skinny child, do you want fifty taels to me?

I can take it for fifty taels, but I won’t be this sucker. You should keep this child.”

Xiao Junyi, who was beside him, listened and watched quietly.

"Young master, why don't we pay for this money?" Xiaotong whispered.
