Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Jiang Yuzhu stood still and remained calm. She was ready to buy all the sin slaves.

Now that I see the other party taking the initiative to sell, I also want to give these people a chance to show off.

"Oh?"

Jiang Yuzhu looked at the middle-aged man with interest. He was thin, with a slightly bent waist, and his toes were exposed from his shoes in the cold weather, which showed his desolation.

Even though his clothes are tattered, the man's eyes are very bright, and he seems to have some shrewd insight into people's hearts.

"The young man doesn't want wages, he just wants a full meal. He is willing to work as a cow and horse for his wife to repay his kindness."

The steward Gong Huai bowed. He prided himself on being an accurate judge of people, so choosing a servant's wife was definitely the best destination for the group.

"The younger ones are all sin slaves. They were exiled from the south to the north. They know that they are of low status and dare not think about anything else. They just want to have food to eat and a roof over their heads."

Gong Huai was pounding in his heart, knowing that the chance of them all being bought was low.

He had already thought that if he was destined to separate again, he would first find a home for a few maids. He, a man who knew how to read and write, would sell better.

"Have you promoted yourself before?"

Jiang Yuzhu was a little confused and saw that although Manager Gong was not in good health, he was not bedridden.

These days, wealthy people buy people, hoping that one person can be used as two people.

Gong Huai knew how to read and calculate accounts. It was difficult to find such a servant with a lantern. If he took the initiative to speak frankly, there would probably be wealthy people fighting over him.

"No."

Gong Huai shook his head. If he wanted to find his master, he must be separated from the others.

From the south to the north, they supported each other and neither of them gave up. Only then did they reach the border town alive.

In Gong Huai's heart, they are all his relatives.

"The younger one saw that Madam has a kind face, so she had an idea."

Gong Huai did not hide his thoughts and said bluntly, "The maid next to Madam is flushed and full of energy. It can be seen that she lives a good life on weekdays. Only a kind master can raise such a servant."

As for the original owner’s house…

As a steward, Gong Huai also suffered scolding.

These maids were punished, made to kneel, beat the boards, and do hard labor, which was commonplace.

In the past, Gong Huai had also wondered why his master's family was so difficult to take care of. After being exiled, thanks to the repeated torture, they were able to reach the North safely and alive.

"Okay, then you all can follow my wife."

Jiang Yuzhu doesn't have many rules. If her servants do something wrong, she won't punish her as long as it's tolerable.

The only thing is, she hates betrayal.

"Manager Gong, I haven't prepared any clothes for you at home. You go back to the house first, and tomorrow we will send someone to ask the shopkeeper of the clothing store to bring the clothes to the door. Each of you will choose two sets to change, and the remaining materials will be made together before the year. .”

Jiang Yuzhu counted and found that eight people plus Lan Hua and her daughter could basically maintain the normal operation of the house.

She gave her money and got the deed of sale, but was stopped by the middleman.

Seeing that Jiang Yuzhu didn't even pay back the price, the middleman asked tentatively: "Madam, is your house still short of strong labor?"

The sin slaves are selling on behalf of the government, and the business has not yet opened when the middleman comes here.

He took his brother and sister with him and had been wandering around the market for two months.

No matter how much the scammer tries to trick someone, if no one cares about it, it’s a loss!

Seeing that the New Year is over and they can no longer sell it, the brother and sister have to celebrate the New Year at home. Thinking of that scene, the middle-aged man’s head is buzzing and hurting.

"Madam, your surname is Huang. My family is not in a border town, but in a neighboring city. It's the twelfth lunar month and it's time to celebrate the New Year. After we finish clearing all the people in our hands, we have to go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year."

Huang Zhongren felt bitter in his heart. The brother and sister were from the neighboring city and were well-known.

It would definitely not be sold in the neighboring city, so Huang Zhongren came to the border town with hope.

"Don't worry, the two brothers and sisters are strong, they are not sneaky people, they are honest and capable of doing their jobs."

Huang Zhongren picked up nice things to say and boasted to the sky.

Jiang Yuzhu saw the brother and sister squatting in the corner, looking very honest, so she asked: "Then why can't it be sold?"

In the labor market, strong labor is also the object of competition.

Steward Gong and his party were sin slaves from the south. It was normal for a rich man who came to buy someone to have concerns. The brother and sister had a clean family background. If it was as Huang Zhongren said, they would not be unable to find their master's family.

At the mention of this, Huang Zhongren suddenly became half shorter and withered quickly.

After a strange silence, Huang Zhongren told the truth. He rubbed his face and said, "It's not that it hasn't been sold, it's that it was returned after it was sold."

After the death of their parents, the brothers and sisters were kicked out by their relatives.

Huang Zhongren, who lived in the same village as his brother and sister, felt compassion for them. Seeing that they were hard-working and hardworking, he took them in.

Who would have thought that a few days later, Huang Zhongren would finally understand the difficulties of the two relatives. If it were him, he would also want to drive the brothers and sisters out!

"Huang Dali and Huang Xiaomei, the two brothers and sisters can eat the meals of several strong laborers in one meal."

Huang Zhongren sniffed, he wanted to cry.

"After the war in the border town, rice was in short supply for a while, and prices fluctuated. Buying the brother and sister back can feed the whole family. If we continue to eat like this, the landlord's family will not have any leftover food!"

When Huang Zhongren took over the brother and sister, he didn't receive any money. Now he doesn't want any money. He just wants to introduce the brother and sister to work in a reliable family.

Even if the other party is willing to take in the two brothers and sisters, Huang Zhongren wants to give them money.

Jiang Yuzhu curled her lips and said, "That's enough to eat."

I have to say that Huang Zhongren is quite honest.

In fact, if they send people to strange places to sell them, defraud them of money and then leave, the owner has nothing to do.

Huang Zhongren chose to tell the truth frankly, which won Jiang Yuzhu's heart.

For her, it's okay to have some food, but it's not that she can't afford it. What Jiang Yuzhu needs is value.

When Huang Zhongren heard this, he grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears, and hurriedly called his brothers and sisters: "Huang Dali, Huang Xiaomei, come here and show your skills to this lady!"

At critical moments, don't drop the chain.

Huang Dali came over first and smiled honestly. He heard that if he showed his hand, he might be fed and clothed. Huang Dali did not hesitate, grabbed Huang Zhongren, and then easily raised it above his head with one hand.

"Madam, I have no other merits except my strength."

After speaking, Huang Dali changed his hand again.

Huang Zhongren, who was thrown into the air: "..."

Huang Zhongren was not thin, he was lifted up like a brick by Huang Dali without any effort.

After holding it up for about a quarter of an hour, Huang Dali still had no intention of putting him down.

At the top of his head, Huang Zhongren closed his eyes and cursed 180 times in his heart. If he had to kick this idiot out, he would definitely scold him!

"Madam, I want to be with my sister, can you buy her too?"

Huang Dali had a somewhat flattering smile and looked even more stupid. He thought about what Huang Zhongren said about being capable, so he immediately grabbed Huang Zhongren and handed it to Huang Xiaomei. He said uncomfortably: "My sister is stronger than me."

So, Huang Zhongren moved from mid-air to Huang Xiaomei's hand, and was knocked around like a juggler.

Huang Zhongren: "..."
