Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

Li Yunshan didn't come back until the sun had set, breathing heavily as if he was tired.

"what happened?"

"Help me clean up the house and carry the food there tomorrow."

Mao Xiaosui muttered, "I found an ancestor."

Li Yunshan laughed, washed his hands and started eating.

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang recited the Three-Character Sutra to Ding Pingshun. They didn't know much, only a few sentences. Ding Pingshun took the book and scratched it on the ground with a branch.

Mao Xiaosui passed by when he was pouring swill and found that the writing was quite good.

"Study hard." She said.

After learning Chinese characters for a while, Ding Pingshun and Li Ankang went to bed at night. Mao Xiaosui yawned and asked him, "Do you feel that Qin An is in debt?"

Li Yunshan laughed, "The person is okay, from out of town."

"Why are people from out of town here?"

Li Yunshan shook his head, "He seemed unwilling to mention his own affairs, and I didn't ask. He is quite happy-go-lucky."

"Have you told him about tomorrow?"

"I said it." Li Yunshan also yawned and fell asleep quickly.

After dinner in the morning, they went to the shop. Qin An came late, still holding the bun in his mouth, and said vaguely, "I almost couldn't find the way."

Mao Xiaosui wondered whether this person knew that he was working. Is this the kind of action and attitude a worker should have?

The pen and ink are ready on the table, waiting for Hu Biao and the others.

Qin An finished the buns in several bites, wiped his oily hands on his body, then picked up his pen and looked at Mao Xiaosui.

Mao Xiaosui explained the quantity, price, delivery time, deposit and compensation. Qin An thought for a while before starting to write.

The handwriting was smooth and the handwriting was good. Although Mao Xiaosui couldn't recognize a few of them, his dissatisfaction with the forty taels was finally reduced a lot, and he even had the illusion that the forty taels were really worth it.

They didn't talk while Qin An was writing, and Qin An himself looked serious. Until he finished writing, Mao Xiaosui looked at Ding Pingshun and said, "Go and call Qian Yiyi."

Ding Pingshun didn't understand but went anyway.

After a while Qian Yiyi came over, and Mao Xiaosui handed her two documents to read.

Then Qin An rolled his eyes.

After Qian Yiyi finished reading and confirmed that there was no problem, Mao Xiaosui had a smile on his face and gave Qin An a thumbs up, "It's expensive, it's worth it."

Qin An raised his eyebrows, showing an expression that suggested he knew something.

Mao Xiaosui still felt that he was indebted. He narrowed his eyes and said to Ding Pingshun next to him, "Where should you go to school? Let him teach you."

Qin An glanced at Ding Pingshun, but did not refuse. He just said, "I don't teach idiots."

Ding Pingshun didn't mind, so he heard Qin An say again, "Then you should be more filial and filial to me."

Ding Pingshun responded obediently, "Okay."

Mao Xiaosui ignored them and went to talk to Li Yunshan.

After waiting for a while, Hu Biao and others came. Mao Xiaosui handed over the prepared documents. Hu Biao read the signatures happily and then gave the deposit.

Yesterday, I was less than five taels. Today, I suddenly had a lot of money. Mao Xiaosui felt very happy.

Li Yunshan asked them, "Are you still going to our village?"

"I'm not going." Hu Biao said, "Originally, we were mainly looking for you. We are leaving today and we have to go to other places."

"Thank you for your trip." Li Yunshan said, "I'll treat you to a drink next time."

Hu Biao laughed and agreed. Before leaving, he glanced at Qin An with a bit of confusion.

Before Mao Xiaosui could figure out what that meant, Hu Biao and the others walked away.

Li Yunshan said, "Look at the store while we go shopping." Then he extended his hand.

Mao Xiaosui gave him some money, and Qin An said, "I can't cook, so I'll just make do with it at your house."

Mao Xiaosui: "You have a beautiful idea, but you will be hungry if you can't do it."

Li Yunshan took him away, bought food for lunch in the morning, and brought Qin An to his house to carry grain in the afternoon. Mao Xiaosui was not a shady boss, so he dug out a can of lard for him and picked a lot of vegetables.

Qin An looked thin, but he wasn't actually that strong. He managed to keep himself from falling down under the sack. Fortunately, his shaking body finally stabilized, but it looked quite difficult.

Li Yunshan carried the sack quite easily and asked him, "Is it okay?"

Qin An has a lot of backbone in this regard. Even if his face turned red, he still had to say, "Okay, it's not serious."

Mao Xiaosuixin said that you should eat four bowls of noodles in one meal. How dare you say no?

Five thousand rabbit skins are not enough with just a few people at home. I said it takes one and a half months, but in fact it takes nearly two months.

But it was still too late, which meant buying two more guys.

Four people kill, four people wash...

After Qin An finished cleaning up, it was evening again, and Mao Xiaosui talked about what happened in September.

Li Yunshan nodded as always, "Buy."

Mao Xiaosui thought of several plans in the afternoon. The first was of course to buy, and the second was to hire someone, and she also thought of the person to hire.

She expressed her thoughts. Li Yunshan stayed at home less and was not as clear about the people in the alley as Mao Xiaosui, but she still agreed.

Mao Xiaosui: "I'll go find them tomorrow and ask them. The money will be calculated by quantity. One rabbit skin and two copper coins. Let's make an agreement first."

"Okay." Li Yunshan also said, "I'm going to the breeding farm tomorrow. I have to prepare things for the winter. I may not be back for a while."

Mao Xiaosui: "I know."

Li Yunshan and Ding Pingshun left after dinner in the morning. The two children were taken to the Zaxiang Meat Restaurant by Qian Yiyi. Mao Xiaosui went to Widow Qian's house first.

Widow Qian was washing clothes early in the morning and was a little surprised to see her coming. She quickly wiped her wet hands on her body and said awkwardly, "Come in and sit down."

Mao Xiaosui smiled and asked, "Where are you doing the laundry?"

Widow Qian responded, and her eldest daughter quickly gave her the stool she was sitting on. She smiled as implicitly as Widow Qian, "Auntie, sit down."

Mao Xiaosui hurriedly waved his hand, "I want to ask Auntie something."

"You said."

"We have some rabbit skins that need to be cleaned next month. Each piece costs two coppers. I wanted to ask my aunt if she has time."

"How much?" Widow Wang asked.

"Thousands of them, quite a lot."

"I haven't washed the rabbit skin."

"I will teach you when the time comes. The rabbit skin must be washed clean and must not be damaged. I will accept it then."

Widow Qian looked hesitant, but her family's money was really tight.

Mao Xiaosui knew what she was afraid of, and explained, "Wash the rabbit skin is not as difficult as you think. Just brush out the layer of grease inside. As long as you don't scratch it with a knife or pluck the hair hard, it will not be damaged under normal circumstances. Silver can do it." One day at a time.”

"You don't have to worry about not being able to do it well. I will teach you a few pieces of leather when the time comes, and then you can decide.

She was not worried about the widow's rejection. Two copper coins were not much, but their family did not have chores every day, and the money they earned at one time was not much.

Sure enough, Widow Qian agreed, and Mao Xiaosui asked her again, "You have been in the town for a long time and know a lot of people. Can you please find a few hardworking and honest people? I will pay you two coppers per person as a thank you gift." .”

She once again emphasized, "I don't want those who cheat and show off."

Widow Qian naturally understood and asked, "How many do you want?"

"Ten people."

"Okay." Widow Qian agreed.

Mao Xiaosui could only think of three people in the alley, and since Widow Qian took care of them, she didn't have to run away anymore.

Before leaving, he said, "When you've found trouble, tell me. I'm at the fourth house in the alley."

Widow Wang said, "I know."
