Chapter 254 Buy the Man
"Brother Mingda, who are the two you picked? Tell me about it." Molan asked Wang Mingda.
"One is a woman, less than 40 years old. She said that her man had died for many years. Originally, she worked as a cook in a family in the town, but that family failed and sold the powerless servants. This cook is not bad and clean. I just check if there is any mess in her house. There is also a woman in her twenties. Widowed, childless, her mother-in-law was not allowed to do so. Her mother-in-law's father was seriously ill, so she wanted to sell herself as a servant. Sell money to treat her father's illness. Wang Mingda told the information of the two people he was in.
As soon as he heard that there was a widow, the Mo family frowned. Isn't it a little white woman again? My family can't afford to cause such trouble.
"Brother Mingda, I'll take you to have a look." Molan planned to see the widow in person. She was worried if she didn't look at her. If she couldn't, she definitely couldn't take it.
"All right." Wang Mingda saw the worries of the Mo family and remembered the news he inquired about. Knowing that the Mo family had a shadow on the widow, he readily responded.
Early the second day, Molan entered the town with Wang Mingda. The cook was at the man's teeth. Molan saw it and asked a few questions. The woman's surname was Ma, and the person's name was Mrs. Ma. Although she was not young, she spoke honestly, and her eyes did not flinch. She saw that she Wang Mingda also found out her details, and there was no chaos. Molan nodded and answered.
Then she went to see the widow. As soon as she saw her, Molan was immediately relieved. This widow was a big and three thick, and her skin was not good-looking. Not to mention Xiaobai hu, she was much worse than her own mother. After a few words, the widow called her aunt. Speaking cheerfully, he has a straightforward temper and strength. Molan feels that her family needs to be able to work like this. He nodded with a smile.
Coming out of the place where people are bought and sold, Molan bumped into a woman head-on. Molan thought she was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember seeing her there for a moment. Molan slowed down in her thoughts, and the people behind her naturally slowed down.
"Huā'er, why don't we go back? I don't want you to be a maid. With tears in her eyes, the little girl's hand holding her no longer moved in.
"Mom, my father is so sick. There is no penniless at home, and you are reluctant to sell me and don't sell the death deed. You sold me to a girl who has been a big family for several years. This money is sold to my father to see a doctor. I will do it well. I want to get a lot of money every month, and I can also subsidize my family. Mother. Don't hesitate. Let's go in." The girl beside the woman also had tears in her eyes and pulled her mother in.
is a filial person. Molan stopped and looked at the little girl, who was young, eleven or twelve years old. The appearance is ordinary. She looks a little thin, but there is a light in her eyes, which is firm.
Molan suddenly remembered. She has seen this woman, the woman who sold fish last time. What's wrong? Is her man so sick? Have you reached the point of selling your daughter?
Molan looked at the girl, her stubborn eyes, and didn't know why. There is a kind of sympathy in my heart.
"Wait a minute." Molan saw that the two were going to go in and hurriedly shouted.
The mother and daughter didn't know that Molan was calling them. He didn't stop. Molan quickly stepped forward, chased the two of them, and stopped them from going. She smiled and said, "Good for auntie."
The woman looked at Molan, who was blocking the way, and looked at it carefully. She hurriedly said, "It turned out to be a girl. What a coincidence. I haven't thanked the girl for buying my fish every day. I don't know what's wrong with the girl?"
"Aunion, you're welcome. I didn't expect to meet my aunt here. I asked more questions. I don't know if my aunt is?" Molan smiled and asked pretending not to know.
As soon as the woman heard Molan's words, tears fell down. She looked behind Molan, followed by a man, a woman, a woman, and two men. Is this girl a lady from a rich family? She is kind-hearted. If she is a young lady, she will let her daughter work in her house for a few years. Save money from selling to people who don't know the root.
"Girl, the family is really short of money. The child's father is seriously ill and has no money to take medicine. I really have no choice but to bring my family here and want to find a good host for her for a few years. It also solves the urgent needs of the family. The woman told Molan about the situation.
"Oh, I don't know what kind of family aunt wants to find for this girl? Is it a death deed or a living deed? Molan asked carefully.
After listening to Mo Lan's words, the woman said repeatedly, "Live deed, I can't let my daughter be a subordinate for a lifetime and sign a five-year deed. My daughter is twelve this year, and seventeen years later. I'm picking her up and sending her out."
"Five years, I don't know how much money my aunt plans to take?" Molan asked.
Before the woman answered, her daughter stood up first. She first blessed Molan, and then said, "This sister, please atone for your sins. I want to ask what my sister's family does? Hu'er is going to be a maid, but in the land of smoke, Hu'er will not go to those bad places. Please don't be surprised. This is related to Hu'er's life. Hu'er has to ask clearly.
It's not bad. He only knew how to ask clearly when he was twelve years old. He was not confused. Molan smiled at her and said, "Sister, my family has a food shop. It's not a rich family. After coming to my house, it's not as hard as a large family. Would you like to come?"
"Yes, I'm not afraid of hardship. I can do dirty work, as long as you don't let me do bad things." Huā'er nodded repeatedly.
The woman saw her daughter nodded and was very reluctant, but it was better for her daughter to go to a restaurant to help than to a large family. Although the daughter is not good-looking, the young master of a large family may not have any idea. In case she is ruined, it will be too late to regret it. Although she said it was hard to go to She is used to the work, and she should be able to cope with it. Besides, the host family is also good, so she can rest assured.
After asking clearly about the location of Molan's shop, Huā'er's mother was shocked. It was said that a village opened a very good restaurant in the town. The business was good, and all the rich people in the town went there. It turned out that it was opened by this girl's family. The woman was a little hesitant. Those rich princes will go, so her daughter will not be sent to greet the guests, will she?
Looking at the woman's hesitant face, Molan made it clear that it was normal for the mother to think too much.
"Aunion, you can rest assured that a lot of people in front of you went to my house. Hu'er greeted her in the backyard, but I won't kindly buy her specially to make her do nothing, set up, set up the dishes, feed the pigs, and help us take things. She has to do all these things." Molan explained to Hu'er's mother.
"That's good. Don't worry, girl. She is used to doing these tricks at home. Although she is not big, she works very neatly and diligent. Speaking of it, it's not good at home, which makes her suffer." Huā's mother wiped her tears after saying that.
"Mom, I'm not bitter. I think the young lady is a good-hearted person. Don't worry." Huāer hurriedly persuaded her mother.
Mo Lan also persuaded a few words, and then they found someone to sign the deed, a five-year deed of life, and signed the contract maid. Mo Lan helped Hu'er'er's mother find a good man, went to see Hu'er's father, and left five taels of silver. It's the money that Hu's sold his body in the past five years. Molan promised them that if Hu'er did well in her own home, she would give Hu'er a lot of money every month. They can also visit the shop when they have nothing to do.
got into the carriage, said goodbye to the reluctant family, and the whole group went back to the shop.
Mrs. Ma and Aunt Bao didn't say much. She sat silently, and her eyes were red. Although she wanted to sell herself and exchange money for her father for medical treatment, after all, it was the first time she left her home, and she didn't know what the fate of welcoming her in the future was. She was reluctant to part with her family
Molan did not comfort them, because she knew what she said, and they would not believe everything. Only after they did it in their own home for a period of time and experience it in person, would they settle down.
When he arrived at the shop and looked at the three people, everyone asked a few questions in turn. They were quite satisfied. Wang asked Qiu to arrange accommodation for the three people.
"Dad, this room is not enough. Please hire some people to build some houses tomorrow. Anyway, there are more places in the back." Molan said to Mo Changhe.
"Yes, I'll find someone to do it tomorrow." Mo Changhe nodded, and he also felt that the room was not enough.
"Buy all these hundreds of miles. Ask more craftsmen to build the house better. I'll pay for these expenses. The old marquis followed their words and said that since the girl doesn't want to build a courtyard next to her house, it's the same here.
"Ok, the money at home is enough. The cover is too big, and we are useless. It's enough to take a few rooms in the back." Mo Changhe felt that his uncle was really rich. When he opened his mouth, he had to buy a hundred miles below. If this acre of land was ten taels of silver, a hundred mu was a thousand taels of silver. In addition, it would cost a lot of money to build a house. His uncle said that he would help himself pay for it, which was not It's really a waste of money.
"Yes, brother, this is not like the capital. There are so many people at home, and it's useless to have a big place. The sister took the brother's heart. Let's forget it." Wang also advised that his family has made a lot of money to buy over the years. No matter how much you buy, you can't plant it, and you have to rent it out. Besides, this is a good place. Some people may not be willing to sell it, and she doesn't want her brother to bully them with power. Forget it.
The old marquis glanced at his sister and nephew and saw that they were not polite, but really didn't want to let themselves buy land to build a house. Instead of saying anything more, he turned the topic and asked Molan, "Have you ever been literate?"
