Traveling through 1942 with space

The two little girls snuggled up to each other and moved cautiously toward the outside of the yard, fearing that they would face unimaginable things after going out.

"You two, hurry up. And you two, what are you looking at? You won't be allowed to eat if you don't complete the task today." The middle-aged man swung the whip in his hand, and with a snap, everyone was scared and hurriedly lowered their heads to work.

The Hou Xiazhu and her sister were already frightened out of their wits. After hearing the man's yelling, they quickly stopped crying and ran out of the yard.

The man who was calling outside the door was smoking a pipe. When he saw the two little sisters coming out, he turned around and walked in front of them.

"Nier, are your two names Hou Xiazhu and Hou Xuemei?" The two came to a living room, and a man wearing a melon-shaped hat and drinking tea put down his teacup and asked.

"Ok!"

The younger Hou Xuemei held her sister tightly, and the older Hou Xiazhu nodded cautiously in response.

"Yes, do you know Hou Yangmin?" the man asked again.

"Hou Yangmin is my uncle and sister Xuemei's father." Hou Xiazhu quietly raised his head, glanced at the middle-aged man and said in a low voice.

"Very good, very good, I have found the right person, you two come with me first!

Feng Liu, I will take these two girls with me, and I will replace them with two older ones later." The middle-aged man in the melon-shaped hat stood up and said to the man who was leading the way.

"Mr. Fan, look at what you said. We all work for the Fan family. You are too polite." The man saluted with a slight fist.

"Okay, you've become more and more capable in the past few years. When I get back, I'll talk to my second brother about letting you be the general manager of Yichun Building." The middle-aged man in the melon-shaped hat said this and walked out of the living room without waiting for the man to answer.

In this way, the two little girls were taken by the middle-aged man to the largest dental clinic in Luoning County.

"Xiao Dong, I brought the two girls back to you on the way.

Oh! The sun is so hot, I feel tired." The middle-aged man walked into the dental clinic, said hello, and then yawned and went back to his room on the second floor.

Only two little girls were left standing alone in the dental salon's living room, observing their surroundings cautiously and fearfully.

"You two are Hou Xiazhu and Hou Xuemei, right? Come with me and see if this little girl is your family member." After a long while, a middle-aged man in a cotton jacket came over and asked the two to follow him.

When the two girls walked into a room, they saw a little girl standing there. Their eyes lit up and they shouted at the same time, "Qiu Ju."

That’s right, this little girl is Hou Qiuju, the eldest daughter of Hou Xiaoge’s second aunt.

"Sister Xia Zhu, Xuemei." Hou Qiuju was also very excited to see her two relatives.

"Ahem! You girls, I gathered you all together this time because your father asked me to redeem you.

You guys just rest in this room today, and your dad will come and take you back later." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Ok!"

After hearing this, the three little girls, who had looked a little worried just now, suddenly smiled and hugged each other.

After the middle-aged broker saw that the three people had been arranged, he turned around and walked out in a hurry.

"Sister Xia Zhu, why don't we see Pan Di's sister?" Qiu Ju, who had calmed down, asked in confusion.

The four sisters who were sold are now missing Pan Di, so there are only three sisters left. Qiu Ju is naturally confused.

"I don't know either. The human trafficker who bought Pan Di and me took her away alone because she was pretty." Hou Xiazhu said with a worried look on his face.

Just when the sisters were rejoicing that they were about to escape from the sea of suffering, their uncle and Erda, who were waiting at the city gate, finally saw the human traffickers.

"Manager Dong, how are the girls in my family? Is there any news?" When the uncle saw Ren Yazi, he grabbed Ren Yazi's arm and asked anxiously.

"Well! Brother Yangmin, after making inquiries from many sources and consuming a lot of manpower, I finally got news about a few girls from Yichun Tower and the Zhang family.

But, but, that's it!" Ren Yazi hesitated at this time.

Seeing the human trafficker's hesitant look, Hou Yangmin naturally understood the price he was asking for.

"Hey! Manager Dong, please tell me the specific conditions! As long as we have the money, we will sell everything we have to give it to you." Hou Yangmin said with gritted teeth.

"Then I'll be frank, brother Yangmin. I asked around and found out that when you sold out your daughters last year, you harvested a total of 140 kilograms of millet, right?" Ren Yazi asked with a smile.

"Correct!"

"The boss said that since you, as a father, want to redeem their daughter, they are happy to do this good deed.

However, with so much millet, plus the food for the several girls who have come for such a long time, plus the interest for the past six months, it has to be paid off.

Last year, 140 kilograms of millet cost ten dollars. As you know, this year there is a shortage of food. One dollar can buy at most three kilograms of millet.

I discussed it with a few of Nier's employers and decided to just pay for it.

According to the rule of nine out and thirteen back, plus the food and drink for the four girls, you only need to give a total of two hundred dollars." The trafficker said with difficulty.

"hiss!"

Although the Hou Yangmin brothers were mentally prepared and thought that the profit would increase three to five times at most, they did not expect it to increase twenty times.

"Manager Dong, I'm kneeling down in front of you. The price is too high. Can you talk to a few of the bosses and lower the price?" Hou Yangmin begged bitterly, and was about to kneel down in front of the trafficker.

The human traffickers were very smart. They could tell from Hou Yangmin's words that he had earned the money himself.

"Brother Yangmin, you should have heard of Yichun Tower and the rich man Zhang's family in the county! They are not short of money. If it weren't for fulfilling your dream of a father-daughter reunion, we wouldn't care about this little money!" Ren Yazi's face was bitter and he shook his head like a rattle.

"Then Manager Dong, let's go back and discuss it! How can we contact you if we want to redeem the person?" After begging in vain, the Hou Yangmin brothers had to give up.

"Well! Go back and discuss it with your family. Family reunion is better than anything else. As for redeeming the person, you can just come directly to Fan Shiya's shop in the county.

By the way, the boss said that we will only have two days at most. We have already wasted one day today. Tomorrow is the last day. Brother Yangmin, you must hurry up." Ren Yazi patted the two brothers on the shoulders, smiled, and turned to go into the city.

After the two brothers had waited for the broker to leave and were away from the soldiers at the city gate, they angrily cursed the brokerage business as a blood-sucking business.

However, the two brothers did not dare to delay and hurried back to the camp.

However, after returning to the camp, they found nothing. Hou Xiaoge was not there. He had gone to the market.

Just when the adults at home were in a hurry, Hou Xiaoge was strolling in the market with a group of friends.

However, this time Hou Xiaoge did not generously buy food for the little ones. Instead, he just made big promises to them all the way, saying that he would treat them all to watermelon when he returned home.

Snacks are very scarce these days. Since the disaster last year, people have not eaten watermelon since then. Even in the past few days, it has not been found in the market, which shows how precious this thing is.

Surrounded by his younger brothers, Hou Xiaoge returned to the camp leisurely, but he did not expect to be bombarded as soon as he returned.
