The middle man quickly opened his mouth and introduced to Gong Jian: "This family's surname is Wang. Old man Wang and his family were farmers for generations. They are also honest farmers in their hometown.
But who would have known that there was a flood last year, and the area in his home was turned into a wasteland. There was no way, in order for the family to survive, Old Man Wang took his family and fled here. The family lived in a dilapidated area outside the city.
In the land temple.
In the past, they usually relied on their son and daughter-in-law to work outside, and the family could barely survive. But who knew that the house leaked and it rained all night. Somehow, his son and daughter-in-law, two capable laborers,
They all fell ill one after another.
And because their family really had no money to hire a doctor to see a doctor, let alone buy medicine for treatment. So soon, the two patients passed away, leaving only Old Man Wang, his mother-in-law, and their teenage grandson.
Daughter, old and young, four people. They really couldn't survive anymore, so they struggled to go to Hangzhou and sold themselves.
They had no choice, because in their situation, they couldn't sell themselves for money at all. Those dozens of copper coins were eventually used by Old Man Wang to bury his son and daughter-in-law. The family was like this in Yinghang
Stayed.
When Old Man Wang sold his family, he had already agreed with Ya Xing that the whole family would have to be sold together.
The manager of Yaxing didn't care at the time. There were many people who said the same thing when they sold themselves. But after staying in their hands for a few months, those people gradually softened. By then, what did they want to do?
Selling is not just a matter of listening to others. However, the person in charge really didn't expect that the family of four young and old in his hands were all tough-minded.
No matter how he coerces or induces them, or simply treats them harshly, it's useless. This family refuses to take hard or soft advice. Whenever you want to sell one of them, the others will fight with him and fight to the death.
disagree.
Moreover, this family is very vigilant. If you want to take one of them out alone, it will be impossible no matter how hard you try. These four people are eager to tie up several of them with a rope even when they are sleeping.
Just be together.
In fact, these four people have never eaten the same kind of food since they arrived at Yaoxing. When the four of them sleep, there will always be one person keeping vigil at night, just to be on guard because they are afraid that Yaoxing will sell them separately.
.
So after a few months, the manager of the bank wanted to slap him in the face. Why did he agree to sell himself to this family? Now, no one will buy it.
Useless labor.
Even if he wants to do evil and sell the two young ones to a low-level place, the two old ones will definitely protect the two young ones tightly. As long as they stretch out their hands, the old one will fight to the death.
Their claws must be chopped off. The two older ones may not have the ability, but they will take the two younger ones on the road to hell. There is nothing they can do about this kind of thing alone.
Manager Yaxing was so regretful that his intestines were almost green, but he was really honest and had nothing to do with the family. In the end, he could only honestly sell the four of them together according to what the family said, but
Who would want these four young and old?
So when the middle man heard what Gong Jian said last time, he didn't require any labor force, as long as he was a peaceful family, so at that time, the middle man had already thought of this family.
If he completes this business, not only can he make some money, but he will also show his face to the manager and solve such a big trouble for him. His future status in the bank will definitely be
Those who are rising will treat themselves as one of their own when dealing with them.
Therefore, when Zhongren introduced Old Man Wang and his family, he went to great lengths to praise them. First, he explained in detail how pitiful and difficult this family was.
Then he went on to say how united their family is and how consistent they are with the outside world.
"Moreover, these four people are originally hard-working people and can endure hardships, so in fact, buying this family does not cost much more than buying four laborers."
Gong Jian stared at the middle man in a funny way, and even praised the old man and the young man freely. He didn't have any dissatisfaction. As long as they were a family and they were honest and responsible people, Gong Jian was fine with it.
Originally, there was no need for them at home, as long as they could run errands and check out the store. Gong Jian’s requirements were not very high, so he quickly signed a contract with the middle-aged man. The four members of Old Man Wang’s family
The mouth belongs to Gong Jian's family from today on.
When Gong Jian held the bonds of sale of the four persons, Old Man Wang, in his hand, he still felt a little awkward in his heart. He didn't know what he was feeling awkward about in his heart. After all, people around him bought and sold servants like this.
If you hold this person's bond of sale in your hands, you won't worry that this person will not listen to you, let alone worry that this servant will run away privately. After all, the fate of such a runaway slave is that if he reports to the government and is finally captured, the consequences will still be very serious.
Serious.
He looked at these four thin pieces of paper, and it was hard to imagine that these four pieces of paper represented four living lives, four complete people. Somehow, he felt disgusted with this behavior of buying and selling servants.
Looking at the middle-aged man next to him who wished he could smile like a chrysanthemum, he felt a little bored in his heart.
This kind of disgust came very suddenly. After all, before getting the deed of sale, Gong Jian had no discomfort with the matter of buying someone. But when he got those deeds of sale, his first reaction was
I actually wanted to tear up these pieces of paper.
Gong Jian quickly controlled the disgust in his heart, and he said to the middle-aged man: "It's late today, and I hope you can bring them to our house tomorrow morning."
The middleman completed such a difficult business. Although he didn't make much money, his status in the manager's mind improved a lot from now on. So, when he heard Gong Jian's words, he immediately agreed.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take the four of them to your door early tomorrow morning."
Gong Jian endured the discomfort and put away the four deeds of prostitution, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. So he quickly left the bank and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his younger brothers and sisters waiting for her at the door.
Gong Yue curiously looked at the paper in her eldest brother's hand and asked, "Brother, what is that in your hand?" (To be continued)
