Chapter 159: To sell oneself
Chapter 159: A contract of betrayal
"I'll give in, I'll give in. It's my fault for blocking the way of my aunts and grandmothers. They really deserve a beating." He Sanshengzi hurriedly got out of the way and pretended to slap himself twice, but did not leave. He followed them and asked, "Auntie, have you all completed the property deeds and land deeds?"
"Don't ask questions knowingly." Gu Jinli stopped and turned to look at He Sanleizi behind him: "What on earth do you want to say? Say it quickly. If you keep stalling like this, I will let Brother Qin remove your arm again."
He Sanleizi trembled in fright: "No, if I take it off again, I won't be able to keep this arm."
His arm was also in trouble. It was removed twice by Qin Sanlang, and it was really useless if he tried it again.
He Sanleizi hesitated for a while, and when he saw that Gu Jinli was about to turn around and leave, he hurriedly said: "Auntie, I see that your family is very busy every day and is very short of manpower. I want to come and ask you for a job."
He patted his skinny body and said, "You may not think I'm thin, but I'm in good health and can work very well. Just invite me to your family. I'm going to get married in a few days, and I need to have a job to support my family. The family still owes the clan five taels and five hundred cash. If there is no work, let alone supporting the family, the annual debt will not be paid."
Having to pay back one or two principal a year, plus one hundred cents in interest, is not a small amount for an idle person like him.
Moreover, Chun Yue did not allow him to hang out with Lu Laosan anymore, saying that he should live an upright life to avoid having children in the future and the children would be criticized by others.
After He San Leizi got a wife, he felt that it was not enough to hang around like this all the time, so he wanted to settle down and find a job, but it seemed that the only job that could take care of the family and make money was the Gu family's tofu. He was alive, so he came to beg Gu Jinli.
Gu Jinli looked at He San Laizi and smiled: "You are a bastard, if I invite you and you tamper with our family's tofu, wouldn't our family suffer a loss?"
He San Laizi was anxious and said hurriedly: "Auntie, that was before. Now I won't be a gangster anymore. As long as your family invites me, I will work honestly and not make any mistakes."
"I believe you when you say it? Your reputation has been ruined a long time ago. Who knows whether what you say is true or false?" Gu Jinli still disagreed: "If our family hires people, it will be for those who are honest and responsible workers. It is impossible to hire A **** with a bad record."
He Sanleizi was desperate when he heard this. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly knelt down to Gu Jinli and said, "Auntie, please, please treat me. If I can't find a job, Chunyue will starve to death." of."
He has been going to see Chun Yue often these past two days, and he is becoming more and more fond of Chun Yue. For her, he would sacrifice half of his life to get this job.
Gu Jinli saw He San Leizi kneeling down, but his heart did not loosen up at all. Although there was gold under the man's knees, the knees of a **** like He San Leizi were worthless. He had to kneel on the knees of countless people throughout the year.
However, she still asked He San Leizi a question: "Are you seeking a living for yourself, or for Mo Chunyue?"
He Sanleizi said: "For Chunyue, I want her to live a good life!"
The last half of the sentence was shouted, which shook several people's eardrums. Gu Dewang directly covered his ears and complained: "Why are you shouting? We are not deaf, we can hear."
Gu Jinli looked at He Sanshengzi and gave him a sentence: "If you want to come to my house to work, you have to sell yourself and sign a ten-year death contract. Not only you have to sell yourself, but Mo Chunyue also has to do it. After ten years, if you haven't done anything, If you do evil things that harm our family, I will return the deed of betrayal to you."
"What? You still need to sign a deed of sale? Even Chunyue has to sign it?" He Sanshengzi was shocked. He came to seek employment, not to sell himself.
Gu Jinli smiled: "If I don't sign a deed of betrayal and I don't hold the lives of you two in my hands, why should I ask you to do work?"
He Sanleizi said: "I helped you several people yesterday. If I hadn't reported the news to you, your family's houses would have been plotted by Lu Laosan. Auntie, please do it for the sake of me informing you. Come on, please ask me to do some work, is that okay?"
"No." Gu Jinli refused decisively: "If it weren't for the fact that you tipped us off yesterday, do you think I would buy you and Mo Chunyue?"
"The world is not good now, there are droughts and wars, and there are people fleeing famine everywhere. In Fucheng, one tael of silver can buy a person. Our family does not have enough manpower, but we can go to Fucheng to buy people. , no need to buy you."
That's why she relented because he informed her yesterday. Knowing that Gu Jinli would never let go, He Sanshengzi sat on the ground with a gloomy face.
"If you and Mo Chunyue want to work in my house, you have to sign a deed of sale, which is limited to ten years." After Gu Jinli said this, he picked up the firewood, walked around He San Leizi, and continued to walk home.
He Sanleizi shouted behind her: "Is it okay if I am the only one selling myself?"
Gu Jinli still said the same thing: "No, Mo Chunyue must sell herself with you and sign a death contract!"
What He San Leizi cares about most now is Mo Chunyue. If she doesn't hold Mo Chunyue's life and death in her hands, if He San Leizi takes the risk and takes other people's money to cause harm to their family, where can she reason?
Only when Mo Chunyue's life and death are in his hands, He Sanlei will have any scruples.
Gu Jinli and the others ignored He San Leizi and returned home quickly.
After returning home, Gu Jinli put down the firewood, took a small cloth bag, went into the house where she and Gu Jinxiu were staying, took out the ten mountain mushrooms, wrapped them in linen, squeezed out the juice from the mountain mushrooms, and put them into a into a small bamboo tube, and then put a few drops of wine into the small bamboo tube.
Wine can stimulate the toxins in mountain mushrooms to the greatest extent.
After finishing all this, Gu Jinli wrapped the ball of linen cloth and the dregs of the mountain **** mushroom inside in hay, took them to the kitchen, stuffed them into the stove and burned them.
After burning, Gu Jinli saw that the water tank at home was almost out of water, so he picked up the bucket and said to Cui, "Mom, I'm going to fetch water."
"Go ahead and pick up half the bucket. Don't be greedy for more, or you'll fall." Cui explained.
"I know, Mom." Gu Jinli carried the bucket out of the yard, walked down for more than ten meters, and came to the old well. He was about to fill two buckets of water, and Qin Sanlang came.
Qin Sanlang did not hesitate and asked straight to the point: "Xiaoyu, what did you go into the mountains to pick today? What are you going to do?"
They were almost tricked yesterday. She went into the mountains today and picked some unknown mushrooms. There must be some connection between the two things.
He added: "I have no intention of stopping you, I'm just afraid that something will happen to you."
She is still young and a girl. Although she has some skills, she is not as good as him.
"If you want to do anything, you can tell me and I will help you." Qin Sanlang promised.
"You actually discovered it." Gu Jinli smiled: "In that case, come and help me tonight."
She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered her plan to Qin Sanlang.
After hearing what she said, Qin Sanlang's face turned red... This, this, how could she come up with such an idea?
