Chapter 217: buy him

 Chapter 217 Buy him

The third grandma always felt that she had seen this young man somewhere, but she was old and couldn't remember clearly.

She pulled the third grandfather’s sleeve and whispered: "Old man, look at the young man on the right who is wearing gray linen clothes and has some bad legs and feet. Does he look familiar? Have we met him before?"

When the third grandpa heard what the third grandma said, he looked towards where she was talking. He saw a young man in his twenties, as thin as a monkey, with his right leg still on tiptoe. He frowned for a while, shook his head and said, "You are so confused." Well, how does this young man look familiar? I have never seen him before."

After hearing this, the third grandma murmured in her heart, could it be that she had seen it wrong?

She silently thought about the people she had met in her life. After thinking for a long time, she did not remember who this young person looked like.

"When I go back to my little boss's house, I'm from Xing'an Prefecture in the northwest. I'm thirty-three this year. I work as a nursing home for people in Xing'an Prefecture. I escorted my master's family all the way to the south. The master's family couldn't support so many people, so I left him alone. The whole family is sold to a tooth shop." Lao Zhu replied to Gu Jinli's words.

Gu Jinli asked: "I escorted my master's family all the way to the south. I was very loyal. Your master's family changed hands and sold your family. Do you feel resentful in your heart?"

Lao Zhu was stunned for a while, and his eye circles slowly turned red: "I had it before, but thinking that the main family also distributed food and water to the small family along the way, so that the small family could survive, I didn't complain anymore. "

The world was difficult, and so many people died on the way to escape from the famine. They were able to survive as a family of four, and the former owner’s family also provided food.

Seeing that he was grateful, Gu Jinli was very satisfied and asked him: "Who are your family members? Let them come forward and let me see."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he hurriedly said to a few people in the group of victims: "Haita mother, Changshou, Camellia, come out quickly."

Lao Zhu's wife hurriedly walked out with her daughter and son, bowed to Gu Jinli and said, "I have met my little boss."

 Their family is all slaves born from the previous master's family, and their rules are very good.

Seeing that they knew the rules, Gu Jinli was very satisfied with the family and asked: "Zhu Changshou and Zhu Camellia, your two former masters were from the city. If you want to stay in the country for the rest of your life, would you be willing?"

"You are willing, you are willing!" Zhu Changshou said to Zhu Camellia: "Don't worry, little boss, we have all suffered a lot and know that the world outside is difficult. Now as long as we have food to eat and a place to live, we A family of four is satisfied.”

Gu Jinli nodded, his eyes paused on Zhu Camellia for a while, and finally fell on Zhu Changshou: "Your father is a nurse, do you know how to box or kick?"

Zhu Changshou said: "Go back to my little boss's house. I learned it when I was little and know some boxing and kicking, but I have never been a nurse."

Their former master's family had many servants, and it was not easy to become a nurse guard, so he only knew how to box and kick, and did not work as a nurse guard. Instead, he stayed in the servants' room and did menial work.

Gu Jinli pointed at Wang Yongfu and said, "Wang Yongfu, compare with him."

“Yes.” Wang Yongfu responded and began to compete with Zhu Changshou.

Both of them were very hungry, and they tried more than a dozen moves. Wang Yongfu subdued Zhu Changshou before the two of them almost fell down from exhaustion.

Grandpa Third looked at Wang Yongfu and said to Gu Jinli, "Xiaoyu, this is pretty good."

Gu Jinli also thought Wang Yongfu was good. She asked Zhu Changshou to step aside first and asked Wang Yongfu: "How many people are there in your family?"

When Wang Yongfu heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. He knelt down towards Gu Jinli and said, "My little boss, there are five people in my family. My sister's husband died, and now the two of them live with our family." Wang Yongfu's daughter-in-law followed When the girls saw Wang Yongfu kneeling down, they also pulled their children to kneel down.

"Little boss, I am Wang Yongfu's daughter-in-law, Ma. This is our son, Liangzi. He is eight years old and can work." Wang Ma pulled a boy and smiled shyly at Gu Jinli.

Next to Wang Ma, a thin young woman was kneeling. She was holding the hand of a little boy tightly. After Wang Ma finished speaking, she said, "I am Wang Yongfu's sister. Shi, this is my son Xu Qing, he is six years old this year."

When Xu Wang said this, he paused for a while, looked up at Gu Jinli and said: "Little boss, you may not think that I am thin, but I am in good health and can work. Brother Qing can also work. He is very obedient and never He is crying, but he is in good health. He only got sick once during the whole journey of escaping from the famine, and he only recovered after being sick for two days... Please, please, buy our family."

Xu Wang’s voice was choked as she spoke, but she tried not to cry, fearing that Gu Jinli would think she was unlucky.

When Wang Yongfu saw this, he also begged Gu Jinli: "Little boss, please buy my sister, mother and son can work well."

Wang Yongfu used to be a bodyguard. Before fleeing the famine, his family had a good life. But after escaping from famine, their family members died and scattered, and the brother-in-law's family also died, leaving only his sister and nephew.

Gu Jinli did not look at Wang Yongfu, but at Wang Mashi: "Your man wants my family to buy your sister-in-law, mother and son. What do you think?"

"Me?" Mrs. Wang Ma somewhat complained that her sister-in-law and her son were dragging down their family, but they all fled together, and her sister-in-law's man died. As for the orphans and widowers, if her family didn't care about them, they would be abused. die.

Wang Mashi hesitated for a while and said to Gu Jinli: "If the young owner is willing, he can buy my sister-in-law and her son."

Wang Yongfu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He knew that he had been taking care of his sister's family, and Wang Ma had some objections in his heart, but this was his biological sister, and the man was dead, so he couldn't ignore them.

Gu Jinli said: "My family can't use so many people."

When Wang Ma heard this, she panicked, but she quickly reacted and said to Gu Jinli: "Can the little boss help me? Buy my sister-in-law and her son first. After our family makes money from work, we can then buy the buyer." What do you think of returning the money to the young master?"

Gu Jinli raised his eyebrows slightly. This Wang Ma family could still think of borrowing money to buy someone and then repaying the money later. He was considered smart.

 He is smart, not cruel, and he still cares about his family.

Gu Jinli asked Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan: "Third Grandpa, Dad, what do you think of these two families?"

While she was asking questions, Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan had been listening nearby. They felt that Lao Zhu's family and Wang Yongfu's family were very good, and Lao Zhu's son could also box and kick and could guard the workshop.

 “Just the two of them.” Third Grandpa spoke.

Gu Jinli said: "Okay, then we will buy both of them."

 Lao Zhu's family has four members, and Wang Yongfu's family has five members. Although two of them are children, it is enough that Wang Yongfu, Wang Ma and Xu Wang can work.

When the third grandmother heard this, she pointed at the familiar young man and said, "Xiaoyu, buy him too."
