Chapter 170: Selling oneself

Chapter 170 Selling oneself

It seems that their request for a living will not be possible.

 If you want to make money from work, you and your husband must sell themselves together.

 Mo Chunyue is very smart and already knows this.

Her eye circles were a little red, and she was unwilling to sell herself, but now her family was in debt, and He San Leizi was a bastard. No one dared to use him even if he went to work as a coolie in the town. Her natal family is a group of blood-sucking insects. If she wants to survive and make a fortune, she must rely on the Gu family.

Fortunately, the time limit given by Gu Jinli was only ten years. After ten years of hard work, the couple could live a better life.

Mo Chunyue finished her breakfast and was ready to sell herself into slavery.

 So after Gu Jinli and the others finished their breakfast, she took the initiative to stop her and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, we and I have thought about what you said that day. We are willing to sell ourselves for ten years and work for your family."

Gu Jinli held a bowl of soy milk and drank it in small sips. He glanced at Mo Chunyue and said calmly: "When did I say I wanted to buy you?" She thought that she must look like the female bully in the TV series now. Same, especially deserves a beating.

Mo Chunyue was shocked: "Didn't you make an agreement with San Leizi to buy us and my wife to work?"

Gu Jinli said: "What I said the other day is that if we need work, my family will not hire a **** to do work. As for buying people, our family can go to Fucheng to buy them. Nowadays, Fucheng is full of disaster victims, and one tael of silver can buy a servant. , Those servants have been taught the rules by Yaxing and have beaten their pride. They can be used after they are bought, which is much more worry-free than buying them from you."

Gu Jinli's words completely confused Mo Chunyue. She originally felt that she was wronged by selling herself as a slave, but she never thought that she wanted to sell it and the Gu family didn't want it.

 This, what can we do?

Mo Chunyue panicked, looked at He San Leizi, and then at Gu Jinli. Finally, she had no choice but to kneel down in front of Third Grandpa and said with a choked sob: "Grandpa Gu San, please do a good job and buy us a couple." Come on. We promise to work hard and never cheat or cheat, nor will we betray our master's family for money. Please give us a way to survive."

Upon seeing this, He San Leizi also knelt down, looked at the third grandfather and said: "Third Grandpa of the Gu family, please buy us, we can make a living."

"This..." The third grandfather was very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

He has been a poor man all his life, how could he ever think about buying people? To him, buying people was a matter for officials and landlords, and had nothing to do with farmers like them.

Gu Jinli said to them: "Get up, are you kneeling begging or persecuting others?"

He San Leizi knew Gu Jinli's temper, and this girl said it exactly. When he heard this, he hurriedly pulled Mo Chunyue up.

Gu Jinli looked at them and asked, "What do you have that I can buy?"

These words made Mo Chunyue and He San Leizi confused. They really didn't have anything that they could do.

Mo Chunyue racked her brains and said, "We and I can help you grind beans to make tofu, and we can also help you farm."

Gu Jinli smiled: "We can ask honest people to do the grinding of beans, grinding spices, and farming."

Mo Chunyue and He Sanleizi both choked up when they heard Gu Jinli's words.

This, are you determined not to buy them as a couple?

Mo Chunyue was so anxious that she cried.

The Third Grandma felt sorry for Mo Chunyue. Seeing her crying miserably, she couldn't help but comfort her: "You kid, don't cry yet. You can find work without selling yourself."

 What kind of work can I find?

Mo Chunyue knew very well that the couple had no skills, no reputation, and they had offended the Lu family. Who dared to invite them from all over the country?

 If the Gu family did not buy them, the couple would have no choice but to leave their hometown and go to other places to make a living. Mo Chunyue fled all the way and suffered enough from being displaced. She finally settled down and was unwilling to run around again even if she died.

Gu Jinli let Mo Chunyue cry. After Mo Chunyue had lost her pride in crying, she looked at He Sanshengzi and asked him, "Do you know Zhang Niuzi?"

He Sanleizi was stunned and nodded: "I know, I know, Zhang Niuzi is from the Elm Village in front of us. There is a century-old elm tree in their village. The village..."

“Let’s get to the point!” Gu Jinli interrupted He Sanleizi: “What I want to know is Zhang Niuzi’s identity and background, not the history of Yushu Village.”

He Sanleizi understood and quickly changed his words: "Zhang Niuzi is twenty-six this year. He has been working for the Lu family since ten years ago and specializes in doing some shady things. The Lu family treats him very well, tsk tsk tsk, we helpers If someone from the Lu family does something evil, the Lu family will give him at most one hundred coins, plus a meal of wine and meat. But Zhang Niuzi gets money from the Lu family on a monthly basis, and the Lu family gives him five taels of silver a month!"

He Sanleizi stretched out his hand and said five taels of silver, his eyes glowed green and he looked envious.

"Why did the Lu family give him such a high price?" Gu Jinli only heard about Zhang Niuzi after Lu Dezhu's affair, and knew that the Lu family had raised more than just He San Leizi and other gangsters.

"I heard it's because of Zhang Niuzi's brother." He Sanleizi looked at the courtyard gate. When he saw no one was there, he lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Niuzi's eldest brother Zhang Huzi fell into the trap with a group of people and specializes in doing business in Linhe Mansion. It is said that people were killed in the business on the Jiangnan waterway."

Gu Jinli frowned, and asked, "A gang of criminal thieves are here?"

He Sanshengzi’s words frightened the three grandfathers and grandmothers.

“Here, are there such evil people in the nearby villages? Why don’t the officials arrest them?”

He Sanleizi said to the third mistress: "Zhang Huzi and the others are doing business on the waterway from Linhe Prefecture to Jiangnan. They have nothing to do with our He'an Prefecture. The officials of our He'an Prefecture don't want to meddle in other people's business."

"Then the Lu family took a fancy to the relationship between Zhang Niuzi and Zhang Huzi, so they used money to support him." He Sanlei talked about Zhang Niuzi with disdain: "That Zhang Niuzi has no ability, he just relies on his elder brother His name is bluffing."

 But just this title has deceived many people, and the Lu family and Zou Xiancheng have also benefited from it.

"However, don't look at Zhang Niuzi's pride now. When Zhang Huzi dies one day, his younger brother will also suffer." He Sanleizi gloated.

The third grandpa and the third grandma were relieved when they heard that Zhang Huzi was not in He'an Mansion.

Grandma No. 3 bowed to the sky in the east: "God bless me, it's best to let Zhang Huzi die in a foreign country and never come back."

He San Leizi said: "Don't worry, Grandma Gu San, that Zhang Huzi doesn't dare to come back, he won't even have time to hide."

"That's good, that's good." The third grandma patted her heart and said with lingering fear.

After asking about Zhang Niuzi, Gu Jinli asked He San Leizi about the gangsters from all over the country.

He San Leizi knew a lot, and he told Gu Jinli and others about which village had gangsters, and who was the master behind those gangsters?

Gu Jinli was very satisfied with this. The only thing she liked about He San Leizi was that he was familiar with the gangsters nearby, which allowed her to take precautions before they happened.

After asking, Gu Jinli said, "It's quite useful."

He San Laizi’s eyes widened: “Auntie, do you mean...are you willing to buy us?”

Gu Jinli said: "I have nothing to say about this matter. I have to ask the third grandpa, the third grandma, and my parents."
