A strong farm girl is busy getting rich
Chapter 62: Buying People from the Yahang
The manager understood as soon as he heard it, and this time he did not go to bring the people himself. Instead, he called a waiter, told him four numbers, and asked him to bring the people over.
While waiting, Shen Qingqian looked at the four men she had chosen and asked, "What are your names?"
Before the four of them could answer, the steward said, "Young lady, you can give them new names after you buy them back. Generally, their previous names will not be used anymore."
Shen Qingqian suddenly realized, well, it was her who was ignorant!
Soon, the guy brought out four more women.
The manager looked displeased and pointed at one of the women and said to the waiter, "Why did you bring her out as well?"
The guy scratched his head and said, "Didn't you just say you wanted some good-looking ones? I brought them all."
Shen Qingqian looked over and found that these women were indeed very pretty, much better than the ones just now.
Especially the one the steward just pointed out, she was tall and slender. Although she lowered her head, one could still tell that she had fair skin, beautiful face, almond eyes and rosy cheeks.
What does "just managing things" mean? Is there something wrong with this woman?
Shen Qingqian was puzzled and asked, "Boss, I think she's fine, why can't you bring her out?"
The manager said, "Miss, you don't know that she came to our yamen to sell herself. She brought her brother with her. They said that whoever wants to buy her must also buy her brother!
However, her brother was a cripple, so many people were unwilling to buy her.
I bought them reluctantly because she was pretty and the money she wanted to sell herself for wasn't much.
"Miss, didn't you just pick out the male servant? So, I think even if you value her, you won't want her brother!"
So that's it! This made Shen Qingqian curious.
In this day and age, when poor families have many children and cannot afford to raise them, parents will cruelly sell one or two of their children. But most of those sold are girls, as families are reluctant to sell boys.
This woman was very pretty and could have gotten married, but she actually went to the government office and sold herself, and she brought her brother with her! Why did she do that?
Shen Qingqian couldn't help but look at the girl a few more times. With such a pretty face, the ladies would definitely not want to buy her as a maid, fearing that she would seduce the soul of their man or fiancé! What's more, she was carrying a burden!
If a man is willing to buy her, nine out of ten times he is attracted by her beauty and wants to buy her to be a concubine or a maid or something!
Considering how good this woman is to her brother, she must be a girl with feelings and affection!
She also has two older brothers, and she likes her second brother very much, but her eldest brother...
Thinking of Shen Qingping, Shen Qingqian couldn't help but look gloomy, and she didn't know when she could find him!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqian couldn't help but want to buy the brother and sister and give them a place to live.
She thought about it and asked the manager, "Boss, should I buy her at a lower price?"
The steward said bluntly, "We have clearly marked prices here, twenty taels of silver for a man and fifteen taels for a woman.
To buy her, ten taels of silver would be enough, but the prerequisite is that you have to buy her brother as well.
The brother and sister have been living and eating here these days, and our company has also invested some money. If you really want to buy it, just give me fifteen taels in total!"
"Okay, deal!"
Shen Qingqian agreed readily.
She then asked the girl, "Is your brother able to move around easily? Does he need someone to take care of him?"
The girl hurriedly said: "My brother just has a limp in his legs, so he can't do heavy work, but walking or anything like that won't be a problem!
Girl, if you are willing to buy us brothers and sisters, just give us food, I can do the work of two people!"
Shen Qingqian smiled and said nothing. She then selected a girl from among them and went to pay the money.
Four men and two women, no, now it’s five men and two women, the total cost is one hundred and ten taels.
After collecting their indentures, he was ready to leave with his men.
The pretty girl brought her brother out now. Her brother was using a crutch, and she was carrying a flat bag.
Shen Qingqian was quite curious about the two siblings. She looked at them once, then looked at them again.
Upon seeing this, Shen Qingqian was stunned!
Picture after picture flashed through my mind like a movie.
"One summer evening, a little girl of eleven or twelve was standing at the gate, looking out, when a young man carrying a bow and arrow came from a distance.
The young man was full of energy and when he saw her, he immediately took out a few bird eggs, handed them to her and said, "Qing Qian, look what big brother brought back for you, take it and cook it!"
The little girl was shy and lowered her head and said, "Thank you, big brother."
One sunny morning, the boy walked out of his house and turned back to the little girl and said, "Qingqian, wait at home. I'll buy you some candy after I sell the game in town!"
The little girl stood behind the boy, watching him leave, and then a smile slowly spread across her face. Thinking of candy, her heart was sweet.
One hot noon, the little girl was punished for not eating because she didn't get any grass for the pigs. The boy took the bowl and gave her his share!
There are many more scenes like this, and the young man in the scene is gradually merging with the man in front of him!
The little girl in the picture is the original owner, and the young man is Shen Qingping!
That was when the original owner was eleven years old, and Shen Qingping was already seventeen years old.
The picture in his mind gradually became clearer, but Shen Qingqian's eyes gradually became blurred.
The man in front of her was Shen Qingping! She found him!
She was extremely excited and thrilled! Shen Qingqian couldn't tell whether this was her own emotion or the original owner's.
At this moment, the expressionless man noticed that someone was staring at him and looked over here.
Shen Qingping hadn't seen his sister for more than three years, and Shen Qingqian had changed a lot recently, so he didn't recognize her at first!
He was confused at first, then he was in disbelief, and then he became so emotional that he was shaking all over!
"Little sister! It's little sister!"
Shen Qingping, leaning on a crutch, stumbled forward towards Shen Qingqian.
"Brother! Brother, is it really you?"
Shen Qingqian also came forward, and the brother and sister held each other's arms tightly, tears streaming down their faces.
The pretty girl next to her was stunned. The girl who bought her was Brother Shen’s sister?
She knew he had two younger sisters, but she didn't expect it was the one in front of her!
She also shed tears. Now that Brother Shen’s family had found him, had he finally gotten his wish?
The manager and the clerk of the Yahang were also confused. Weren't they here to buy someone? How did it become a recognition of a relative?
Also, weren't the two before brother and sister? How come they are brother and sister with the buyer? Are all three of them sisters?
However, there are people who come to Yahang to recognize their relatives!
The manager and the clerks were soon relieved. After all, the person had already been sold, so what did it matter to them?
