Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

After Sun Changyuan returned, the life of the people in the village became much better, and those who worked in the Sun family like Zhuzi were rewarded.

In particular, Zhuzi has always been serious about his work, but this time he was misunderstood by the old thief Zhang and caused a lot of scandals. Sun Changyuan compensated him. The biggest compensation was to cover Zhuzi's mother's medicine money for the next year.

Although Jiang Jiuniang had changed her prescriptions and used cheap medicinal materials, she still had a lot of expenses throughout the year, which was really a great help to the Zhuzi family.

After the family had a quarrel last time, Zhuzhu's father never mentioned selling his daughter again. Several times Zhuzhu's mother said that she would start saving a dowry for her daughter, but Zhuzhu's father didn't say anything.

After everything stabilized, Zhuzi and his brother went to find Jiang Jiuniang. As soon as they met, they gave Jiang Jiuniang a big gift and kowtowed before saying: "Madam, sister A and I are here to express our gratitude. It was you who saved us." One family!”

Jiang Jiuniang led the two of them into the door and asked Gou'er to get some snacks to entertain them. The two siblings did not dare to eat, but just stood there politely.

"Sit down, don't be polite to me."

Jiang Jiuniang felt very good looking at the two siblings, especially the obvious smile on Mingzhu's face.

The siblings then sat down and put some seafood they had brought next to them.

"Madam, I said before, please help me. I am willing to sell myself as a slave. I am here today to fulfill the promise I made at that time."

As he said that, he took out a piece of paper from his arms. Jiang Jiuniang took a look at it and saw that it was a body contract.

"Are you really willing to sell yourself into slavery?"

Jiang Jiuniang looked at him with interest, thinking that this child was quite interesting. If he didn't say it, she would forget that he said this in the first place.

"You have to know that my family is from outside. We only live here for a few months, and we will definitely leave after that. If you sell yourself into slavery, you will have no choice but to leave with us. You may never see your parents again in this life. We are relatives, are you really willing?"

Jiang Jiuniang looked at him with a very serious expression.

I thought Zhuzi would think about it for a long time, but unexpectedly, the boy nodded directly and said with a mature look: "Yes, I made it clear to my parents last night. I said it, and I must honor it." Commitment."

"Then what about your parents?"

Jiang Jiuniang looked at him leisurely, the smile on her lips almost uncontrollable.

"My parents are taken care of by my sister. My sister is better at taking care of people than I am. In the future, I can let her find a son-in-law to go home and take care of my parents together. In addition, I will send money to my family from time to time to ensure that my parents and sister can eat Serve a full meal.”

There is a rule these days that slaves also have monthly money, it just depends on how much the master gives, but generally those who can afford the slave will not give very little.

He can save all his monthly money and send it to his family, which is considered as fulfilling his filial piety.

Jiang Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, glanced at Mingzhu, and asked Zhuzi: "I thought your family would be more willing to sell your sister. How did you convince your parents?"

Mingzhu next to her didn't expect Jiang Jiuniang to mention her. She was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled and said: "If madam is more willing to buy the little girl, the little girl will have the same choice as the younger brother."

Zhuzi was worried and said: "These troubles are all caused by me and have nothing to do with Sister. I said before that I sold myself. Madam, you can just buy me! Sister has taken care of me since I was a child. She also You have to live your own life, you shouldn’t ruin it for me!”

Naturally, he had a quarrel with his father at home. He knew that he was the most important in his father's heart, but he refused to do so, just to keep his sister. His mother also stood up to help speak, and his father lost his temper. But he still agreed.

Besides, even though he was sold into slavery, it doesn't mean he can't carry on the family lineage. If he marries a wife and has children in the future, he can also send the children back to his parents to raise them, so nothing will be delayed. Jiang Jiuniang saw that he was really worried that she had fallen in love with Mingzhu, and even acted to block her face. Jiang Jiuniang couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Since you are willing to sell yourself, then that's it." is you."

Jiang Jiuniang took the deed and gave him ten taels of silver.

"This is the money you earned from selling yourself. Take it back to supplement your family's income."

Zhuzi was very surprised, holding the two fifty-tael silver ingots in both hands: "Madam, you gave me too much!"

The most they can get for selling their bodies here is two or three taels of silver, and no one has ever sold anyone for more than ten taels of silver.

"It's okay. In my opinion, you are worth so much money."

This child has upright views and good qualities. If he is well-educated, he will become a helper to the dog in the future. Spending ten taels of silver is a good deal.

Being praised like this by Jiang Jiuniang, Zhuzi blushed in embarrassment. He didn't think he was that good. He had even been causing trouble for his family since he was a child. He was scolded as a troublemaker by people around him.

But here with Jiang Jiuniang, his character and ideas were recognized and respected, and he felt warm in his heart.

"Thank you madam, then I, I will send Sister out, come back and clean the yard and then go cook. I can do everything!"

After giving him the deed and money, he is now a servant of the Lu family, and he should take care of everything for his master.

He left the job of feeding the Sun family's horses to his sister, and from now on he would mainly take care of the Lu family.

Jiang Jiuniang said, "Don't worry. You should go home tonight and have a good meal with your parents. Come back tomorrow at noon. I have other things to give you."

Zhu Zhu blinked, looked at the kitchen, and hesitated: "Then..."

"You don't have to worry about those, just go ahead."

Jiang Jiuniang picked up the tea and took a sip. The two siblings quickly stood up and left.

"Then let's go back first. By the way, we caught these seafood ourselves. Madam, you can pick and eat what you like!"

He carried the basket he carried on his back to Jiang Jiu Niang. There were some clams and oysters in it. It looked very fresh and must have been freshly caught.

Jiang Jiuniang took it and said with a smile: "Thank you very much. They are all what I like to eat."

Being affirmed by Jiang Jiuniang again, the sister and brother were very happy and went home happily with the money.

Jiang Jiuniang poured the seafood in her basket into a basin and soaked it. Then she called the dog over and asked, "Would you like to let Zhuzi be your companion for a few months?"

The dog nodded and said, "Okay, mother, I will teach him literacy and arithmetic."

Jiang Jiuniang said "Hey" and praised: "Not bad, I already know my mother's intention!"

Gou'er raised his chin very proudly and said: "Mother, if you want to do business here, you must cultivate your own people. You are kind to Zhuzi, and Zhuzi has good moral character and is a malleable talent. And you also accept I have obtained his body bond and am not afraid of his betrayal, so it is right for me to teach you hard. After all, these are the people trained by my mother for me, don’t you think so, mother?” (End of Chapter)
