Professional Ethics of a Concubine

When they heard that Tiedan had gone to the western hills to hunt wild boars and would not come back for several days, Old Man Xie and his family were very excited.

Uncle Xie was the most active. He didn't even eat. He just ran outside and went to several villages to contact Lei Lao Hu who might have some connections.

Lei Lao Hu is not a human trafficker, he is just a driver outside. He knows a lot of people and is quite famous in this area. It is said that Lei Lao Hu is a wild man with many ways.

So, when Uncle Xie wanted to sell Erdan, the first person he thought of was Lei Lao Hu.

Although life was poor in those days, it was a commune system after all, with everyone eating from the same pot. The team also had to take care of the affairs of its members, and selling children was illegal, so there was basically no selling of children.

However, there is no one who openly sells his children, but there are people who cannot afford to raise their children and give them away.

If your family is too poor to raise a child, you can ask other childless families to give the child to them to raise. Generally, you can ask relatives to help with the adoption.

Uncle Xie ran up to Lei Lao Hu and stupidly asked him if he had any way to sell the child.

Lei Lao Hu gave him a lecture, "What era is this? Do you think it's still before the liberation? Selling children is illegal now. If you dare to sell your nephew, I will go to the commune and sue you."

When Uncle Xie heard this, he turned pale with fright, and stammered,

"But Erdan and Tiedan have no parents, and we really can't afford to raise these two kids. Tiedan said he wants to be a live-in son-in-law, and this little one can't follow him. If we can't sell him, how about giving him away? Is giving him away okay?"

Lei Lao Hu frowned and asked him, "This Erdan you are talking about is a little fool, right? I have heard that no family wants a fool."

"Oh, you're not stupid anymore! Really not stupid anymore, you're very smart now!" Uncle Xie immediately praised Erdan, saying that he had big eyes and was not stupid at all now, and he also had a sweet mouth and could talk.

As for cursing and slacking off, not a single word was mentioned about it, as if it didn't exist.

Uncle Xie no longer thought about making money from the sale. As long as he could get rid of the little troublemaker, he would be fine. He really didn't want to see Erdan for a whole day.

Now that Erdan is gone, they can let Tiedan become a son-in-law. They should be able to make some money from Tiedan, so that the two brothers will not have been eating their family's food for nothing these days.

When Lei Lao Hu heard that the man was no longer stupid, he also relaxed and said, "Then bring the person here to me tomorrow afternoon. If you really can't afford to raise him, I will go and ask if there is anyone willing to raise him."

"Okay, okay, I'll deliver it tomorrow morning. It's not convenient for me in the afternoon!" Uncle Xie said immediately.

If I deliver it in the afternoon, I will have to eat lunch at home at noon. That is absolutely not possible. It must be delivered in the morning!

Lei Lao Hu also knew what Third Uncle Xie was thinking, and he was too lazy to say anything to him. He just nodded and said, "Okay, then send it over tomorrow morning."

He is a driver and his family is well off, so he doesn't need a meal.

Uncle Xie finalized the matter and hurried home.

-

"Oh, it can't be sold, it's just given away. This, this means you can't get a penny." When Mrs. Li heard what her third son said, she immediately became unhappy.

"Mom, it's enough to send him away." Uncle Xie said quickly, "Don't even think about doing anything illegal. I'll arrest you again."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she became frightened and shut up unwillingly.

Old man Xie breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his conscience had taken over again. Giving Erdan away to a well-off family would be good for him, not harming him!

No matter who asked about this, he could answer with his head held high, and he was not afraid that Tiedan would come back to cause trouble for them, because they didn't take a penny.

"Okay, then you can send Erdan over tomorrow. He's still young, and he'll make a fuss if you don't send him away. Just coax him and tell him you want to take him out to play."

Old man Xie said to his third son.

-

The next day.

"Erdan, hurry up and eat. After dinner, your uncle will take you to a fun place." Uncle Xie said to him with a loving (and insidious) smile.

Xie Wenyuan didn't even need to look at his squinting eyes, just by listening to him speak, he knew that he had bad intentions.

However, he was bored and wanted to see what Uncle Xie was doing and play with him.

Xie Wenyuan simply forgot what Xie Jin had told him before he left.

He is a person who seeks excitement and likes danger. If you ask him to seek stability, he will not be Xie Wenyuan anymore.

"Where do you want to take me? I think you have a bad heart. Are you going to sell me out? I won't go."

Xie Wenyuan spoke deliberately.

"I'm your third uncle, how could I possibly sell you out? Selling children is illegal now, don't you know? Stop talking nonsense!"

Uncle Xie's heart skipped a beat and he looked guilty, but his voice immediately rose in pitch.

It seems that as long as the voice is loud, you will be full of momentum and not feel guilty.

When Xie Wenyuan saw his ugly look, he knew that he had made him guess what he said.

They are going to sell Erdan while Tiedan is not at home.

Naturally, the crazy old man Xie Wenyuan was not afraid at all. Instead, he was very excited because he could finally go out and play!

He had really had enough of this little shabby place.

I had thought about going out a few days ago, but I had no means of transportation, no money or food, and no letter of introduction, so I didn't know where to go.

Well, now that he can hitch a ride with the human traffickers, he can at least go out and take a look. If it’s not fun, he can come back to find Tiedan.

Before leaving, I had to leave a letter for Tiedan to let him know that I had gone out to play and he didn't need to rush to look for him.

Having made up his mind, Xie Wenyuan said to Uncle Xie,

"Then you have to cook five eggs for me. I can only go play with you after I am full. If you don't give me eggs, I won't go with you."

Uncle Xie got furious when he heard this. This little bastard started talking about five eggs right away. He really has a way of talking!

I sold him myself, but didn't get a penny!

"If you don't give me eggs, I'll go home!" Xie Wenyuan walked out immediately.

"Hey, wait, Uncle San will give it to you. Look how good Uncle San is to you. Wait here, I'll go boil eggs for you."

Uncle Xie stood up with a smile, but his face turned gloomy when he turned around. He gritted his teeth fiercely, indicating that he would tolerate him for the last time.

Old Man Xie and the others were not at home, so they deliberately went out, fearing that someone else would have a strange expression and Erdan would notice that something was wrong.

After spending a few days together, Old Man Xie and the others have fully realized how smart and difficult Erdan is. They really want to treat him like a plague god and just want to get rid of him.

So, twenty minutes later, Xie Wenyuan ate the delicious boiled eggs.

When I took the first bite, it was so fragrant and delicious!

Xie Wenyuan wanted to announce loudly that the most delicious thing he, an old man, had ever eaten in his two lifetimes was boiled eggs!

The second one wasn't as amazing, but still delicious.

The third one choked and quickly drank a bowl of water.

The fourth one didn’t taste very good and I felt full.

The fifth one, forget it, I’ll keep it for now and eat it next time I’m hungry.

After eating four eggs, Xie Wenyuan burped and said to Uncle Xie,

"I'm going to go back home to get some things, you come with me over there and we can hang out together again."

Although Uncle Xie was annoyed by his many troubles, but at this critical moment, he naturally coaxed him and did whatever Xie Wenyuan said.

Xie Wenyuan returned home, left a message for Xie Jin on the wall beside the bed in the language of Da Zhao, and then left with Uncle Xie.

-

Uncle Xie took Xie Wenyuan to Lei Lao Hu. Fortunately, Uncle Xie was smart enough to borrow a cart to take Xie Wenyuan there, otherwise he would have carried Xie Wenyuan on his back the whole time.

After finally finding a 'servant' to serve him, Xie Wenyuan naturally enjoyed himself to the fullest and would never let his legs suffer any more.

When they arrived at Lei Lao Hu's place, Uncle Xie told Xie Wenyuan to play here for a while, so he found an excuse and slipped away.

Xie Wenyuan nodded without crying or making a fuss, and asked Uncle Xie to leave quickly. He found that the house he came to was a red brick house, not a mud house.

This shows that this family is rich!

Human traffickers are different.

Lei Lao Hu waited for Uncle Xie to leave, and seeing that Xie Wenyuan was not crying or making a fuss, he deliberately said to Xie Wenyuan,

"Kid, I'm Lei Lao Hu. Your uncle sold you to me. Now you better obey me. If you dare to cry or make a fuss, I will beat you."

"Then where are you going to sell me?" Xie Wenyuan asked with a smile.

Lei Lao Hu was stunned by his laughter and couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you a fool? Your uncle sold you out, and you're still laughing!"

"How much did you give him? Five hundred?" Xie Wenyuan cared more about his own worth.

Lei Lao Hu was stunned again, and thought that this child was interesting, so he stretched out five fingers and said,

"Five hundred more, you think you're a young master, it's just fifty dollars!"

Xie Wenyuan was angry that he was only worth this little money, as if he was even not as good as an old hen!

Ahhh, angry!

"What?! Only fifty! You've made too much money. You only spent fifty and bought me. You've made a fortune, do you know that?" Xie Wenyuan shouted angrily.

Lei Lao Hu touched his head, looking confused.

He felt that there was something wrong. This child was not stupid, but had a mental illness.

"You, what's wrong with you? How old are you?" Lei Lao Hu looked at Xie Wenyuan's big, bright, and clever eyes. He did not look stupid at all. On the contrary, he was very smart.

"I can't remember clearly. I was sold too many times and had different fathers." Xie Wenyuan spoke nonsense.

Anyway, when you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

Thunder Tiger,...

If I didn't know your background, I would have almost believed your lies!

Is this really the little fool from before?

Lei Lao Hu also became interested and was not in a hurry to expose him. He just wanted to hear what else he could come up with.

"If you are so obedient, Uncle Lei will find you a good family and good parents." Lei Lao Hu said.

"Then you have to find me a father who is a high-ranking official. I don't want a poor father. Being sold here and there is too much trouble. I can't even have enough food to eat!"

Xie Wenyuan pinched his waist and spoke righteously.

Little old man, my father in my previous life was the emperor, so it should be ok for me to have a seventh-rank official as my father this time.

Thunder Tiger,...

And he's the father of a high-ranking official?!

Boy, you are so bold in thinking and speaking!

Lei Lao Hu felt a little numb and thought that they would not be able to continue the conversation that day.

"Don't dream on. How could a high-ranking official buy a child?" Lei Lao Hu said unhappily. "If I sell you to him, he will just arrest me!"

"Absolutely not! As long as you listen to me, I promise to let you make a lot of money and eat meat." Xie Wenyuan straightened his back, raised his chin, and said with an imposing manner.

"Hahaha..." Lei Lao Hu didn't believe it at all. He raised his hand and patted Xie Wenyuan's head.

"Save your breath, kid. I've seen smart guys like you before, but I won't be fooled by you!"

Xie Wenyuan,...

Ahhh, angry!

He looks like a little kid, no one will believe him when he tries to fool people!
