The next day, Zhang Tianhao went to work at the front clinic as usual, but he felt a little hungry. Then he remembered that there was no one at home to cook, so it was still a bit troublesome.
I ordered two bowls of wontons, and one bowl for him was as good as Du Xiaoyue's. As for Lan Yu'er, she might have already eaten it, so she didn't order anymore.
"By the way, Lan Yu'er, I remember there seems to be a black market and human trafficking over there. Do you know where it is?"
Although human trafficking is prohibited, it does exist. After all, many people can only survive by selling their sons and daughters. This is already a normal thing.
But it's all on the black market, not on the surface.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know. Sir, do you want to hire someone to cook? I can do it, do you think it's okay?" Lan Yu'er didn't understand, so she recommended herself.
"You have your own affairs. I'll go find someone later and see where I can hire someone to cook. After Du Xiaoyue recovers from her injury, she will cook and wash clothes at home. When she grows up, she can
Think about having children." Zhang Tianhao said normally.
Lan Yu'er looked at Du Xiaoyue who was eavesdropping and felt funny for a while. After all, Du Xiaoyue had been teased by Zhang Tianhao so many times.
It's okay to make a few jokes, maybe this is a kind of fun.
It's just that Du Xiaoyue had nothing to do in the face of Zhang Tianhao's ridicule. After all, she also knew that Dr. Chuan Qi spent a lot of money on his treatment.
She just wanted to escape, but she quickly rejected it.
"Forget it, it's okay now. I'll go look outside and see if I can find someone to come back and help me cook, wash clothes, and sweep the floor."
Soon, Zhang Tianhao left the clinic alone and headed outside.
It's quite easy to find an old lady. After all, it's hard to find jobs outside now, so it's pretty good to have someone to hire.
At the vegetable market, there are people waiting for others to hire, and there are even many craftsmen of all kinds. You can buy just what you need.
Sure enough, as he expected, there are some people selling their children here, but there are fewer, and relatively speaking, the selection here is smaller.
"Sir, are you a buyer?"
"Sir, may I ask what the buyer is going to do when he goes back?"
"I'm sorry, sir, would you like to buy it back and keep it as a maid or do..."
Although there were only a few people who came here to sell their daughters, they still looked quite poor. They didn't even have a few clothes on them. They looked pitiful in this cold weather.
Zhang Tianhao is not surprised by this situation. He is very lucky that he did not freeze to death. Even in Xichang, he bought dozens of children and raised them at home. In this situation,
He's not weird at all either.
Looking at these people, they are all as thin as skin and bones. Even their daughters have reached such a point that they cannot afford to raise them. Otherwise, who would be willing to sell their daughters.
You even have to go back and ask the owner why you bought your daughter. No one wants to push their daughter into the fire pit. This is the heart of parents.
Zhang Tianhao's identity as a Japanese at this time did not prevent him from sympathizing with these people, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Walking to a father and daughter, he looked at the daughter. She was indeed pretty, but she was only eleven or twelve years old, and she didn't even have a few kilograms of flesh on her body.
If her face was a little dirty and her hair was a mess, it was obvious that her father had gone to great lengths to sell her, and he really didn't want to sell his daughter.
Other families kept their daughters clean, but his family made their daughters dirty.
"How does she sell it?"
Zhang Tianhao originally wanted to hire an old woman, but when he saw that the child was really pitiful, he knew it in his heart. If he didn't buy it, someone would buy it, and there was no need to think too much about the fate of buying it back.
Especially this pretty little girl.
"Sir, may I ask who you are..."
"I am a doctor!"
"Excuse me, sir, what do you need my daughter to do? Should she wait until she grows up to be a wife instead of being a child, or prepare to do other things? My daughter can do laundry, cook, and..."
Zhang Tianhao didn't say anything after watching the middle-aged man talk for a long time, especially the little girl who couldn't help but shrink into the middle-aged man's arms, obviously also scared.
"Okay, stop talking, how much is it?"
"Well, if sir wants to buy my daughter back and sell her to that place, I won't sell it. Please tell me sir."
"As long as your daughter knows how to wash clothes, cook, and sweep the floor, there's no need to ask so many questions!" Zhang Tianhao didn't say much, but looked at the middle-aged man calmly.
"My daughter can do all these things, and can even warm the bed. I just beg you, sir, to have mercy on her. She is still young, she is still young."
"Okay, how much does it cost? If it suits you, come with me!"
"Yes, yes, sir, two hundred yuan, okay?" The middle-aged man still raised his two fingers fearfully, asking for a high price.
"Okay, take someone with you and follow me!"
Zhang Tianhao didn't say much, so he took the father and daughter to the market. At the same time, he bought some mutton, beef, and some evacuation, and walked to his car.
After returning to the clinic, Lan Yuer discovered that Zhang Tianhao had actually bought a little girl back, and there was a middle-aged man following behind, obviously the father and son.
"Lan Yu'er, are there any patients? If not, just sit there and don't run around. It's really nothing to cause trouble."
"Sir, these two are..."
"I just bought it, you two come to the backyard with me!"
He glared at Lan Yu'er, and then led the father and daughter to the backyard. He found some old clothes from Zhang Li's room in the backyard for the little girl to change into. As for Song Lang and Zhang Li's other clothes, they were not needed.
All the clothes were thrown to the middle-aged people.
"Here are two hundred yuan. Take them back together with these clothes. From now on, you can come and see them every New Year and holiday. After all, they are your flesh and blood. Let's go!"
Zhang Tianhao looked at the middle-aged man and said calmly, but there was no expression on his face, and he still looked calm.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed to see that Zhang Tianhao was really a doctor and asked him to visit him during the holidays. At least he said that his daughter had been sold to a good family and would not have to suffer.
"Thank you sir, thank you sir."
After saying that, he pressed his daughter's head and kowtowed to Zhang Tianhao before leaving the clinic in tears. When leaving, Zhang Tianhao asked him to take away several kilograms of meat.
Only then did Zhang Tianhao have the intention to take a good look at the little girl: "What's your name?"
"Erya!"
"Okay, don't call Erya such an unpleasant name, call her Xiaoju!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"You can wash these clothes with water yourself and put them on. If you know how to change them, you can change them yourself. You are not allowed to go to the second floor. Did you know that there are other rooms on the first floor? You can choose it yourself.
Sleep in that room, sleep in that room.”
After Zhang Tianhao finished speaking, he went directly to the front yard and started a consultation. After all, there were still two patients waiting for him to see.
But in the clinic, Lan Yu'er watched Zhang Tianhao bring back a little girl, and she was also puzzled. After all, the little girl was too young and seemed to be unable to do anything besides cooking.
"Xiaoyue, what do you think my husband is doing when he buys a little girl? Could it be that he likes the little girl and doesn't like us like this?"
After hearing this, Du Xiaoyue also had exclamation marks on her forehead.
