Chapter 360 Family members receiving money
"Is it true that you want to send my eldest daughter to that ungrateful place in Yugui?! Why do you want her to go there?! What if she dies in such a ghost place?" A short and stocky middle-aged man said The young man slapped the table and roared, his face flushed and his eyes bulging. The accountant sitting nearby was so frightened that he made a wrong calculation and had to do it again.
Behind him, some extremely old or disabled people looked at this man with disgust and disgust in their eyes.
"Your girl is just accompanying our young master to Yugui. She is not going to fight. Her life will not be in danger." How could Zhou Xie'an, who had been on the battlefield, be frightened by such rage? He sat firmly in his seat and said expressionlessly.
"So what? You have moved her so far away, how do you want me to get the money?! Her younger brothers and sisters still need her money for food!" After hearing that his daughter's safety would not be a problem, the man became even more irritable. . Teng Yu, who was learning how to deal with affairs from Zhou Xie'an, secretly clenched his fists angrily. The servants who had been approved to leave the general's mansion temporarily pulled their family members away from the red-faced short man.
"Teng Yu, are you studying with Uncle Zhou?" A clean and pleasant young man's voice sounded from very close to Teng Yu. Teng Yu suddenly turned around and saw Yang Yuyao and Huang Ya, who followed him and pursed their lips.
"Tell the young master, yes." Teng Yu quickly saluted and replied. "The family members are worried that you will work too hard when you get there, so they arranged for Butler Zhou and I to learn more so that we can share your worries."
"Welcome young master!" When Zhou Xie'an and the accountant heard that Yang Yuyao was coming, they quickly stood up and bowed to Yang Yuyao together with the servants who came out to meet their relatives.
"You are the eldest of the Yang family..." The short and sturdy man rushed towards Yang Yuyao and said. Before he could finish speaking, two guards rushed over and pushed him to the ground. "you!"
"Dad, don't be rude. If you have anything to say, please talk to me... Uh!" Huang Ya came over and helped the man up to persuade him, but he slapped him hard in the face.
"You! You don't know what's good or bad!" Teng Yu wanted to curse, but instead cursed a word that had no lethality.
"Let's continue to hold him down and pull him aside. Let him go when he can listen." Yang Yuyao commanded the two guards. The two men executed it immediately and neatly.
"Damn girl, you unfilial daughter!" The man who was dragged away kept roaring, "We worked so hard to raise you and send you to such a good place, but you don't care whether we live or die, right?! You can I’m really bad at it! I can’t bear to give any money to my family!”
"I didn't!" Huang Ya, who was supported by another maid, said aggrievedly. Tears began to fill her eyes. She didn't understand how her father could say such a thing. It was obviously he and his mother who sold her to Ren Yazi when she was still young, and Ren Yazi brought her to Renshi before she was selected by the Yang family and brought into the general's mansion.
She missed her family and couldn't worry about her younger siblings, so she followed her father's advice and gave him all her monthly money without keeping a penny. As a result, he was still criticized in this way. Huang Ya was frightened and unfamiliar by the fact that her father, who used to be nice and well-spoken, suddenly became like this. She thought that if she was bought by someone else, she might not even have monthly money.
After all, the vast majority of slaves were bought, and their masters would only provide them with food, shelter, and a few sets of clothing to cover their bodies. As for monthly money, that could only be given by a very small number of powerful people.
Huang Ya felt wronged and angry, violent emotions welling up in her heart. Her mind was obviously full of rebuttals, but she seemed to have lost her mouth and could not say a word.
"Father Huang, you are such a loser. You can't even earn any money for your family." Yang Yuyao's light voice instantly silenced the place. The red face of Huang Ya's father, a short and stocky man, instantly turned red. He was liver-colored, and his chest was bulging with anger. He seemed to want to curse, but couldn't.
Suddenly, there was a burst of intensive applause in the silence. Everyone looked around and saw a thin old man in tattered clothes. He looked a little silly when he smiled. Standing next to him was a young man whose facial features looked nothing like his. He noticed everyone's gaze, and while smiling apologetically, he used his body to cover the little old man.
"Huang Yatou, don't be deceived by your father!" A silver-haired old lady suddenly shouted loudly, "Your two sisters were sold by your father to a madam he knows well!"
"You...you scumbag! Stop slandering someone's innocence!" The short and sturdy man cursed, but he was pressed hard against the wall by the two guards, unable to struggle at all.
"Oh, are you slandering the old madam of Nuanhong Pavilion and asking her to call out all the girls under her?" The old lady said with a sneer, "Old lady, I am well-informed, but I am not sure whether you have ordered you or not. It’s just those two girls.”
Huang Ya's face turned pale. Her younger sisters, her two well-behaved, sensible and prettier sisters, before she was sold by her parents, her two younger sisters were very proactive in helping her with work. . She had always hoped that the two of them could marry into a good family and no longer have to be like her, not even a good person, and just being manipulated by others.
But they were sold to that kind of place. Although some of those prostitutes were prostitutes but not their bodies, how could Huang Ya not know that her sisters had never played chess, calligraphy or painting? For children born in such a family, learning these skills is too luxurious to even think about. So, where can they sell their art?
Huang Ya gently pushed away the maid who was supporting her and whispered, "Sorry, thank you." She walked towards her father with tears in her eyes, raised her fist, and punched him in the face. This punch knocked out three of her father's teeth, causing his nose and mouth to bleed.
The man who had never thought that he would be beaten was furious. As soon as he cursed the word "you", Huang Ya's other fist hit the other side of his face with the same force as the previous one. The two guards were also frightened by Huang Ya's two punches, but they still held the man tightly and refused to let him leave.
"Grandma, excuse me, do you know the current situation of the man's sons?" Yang Yuyao walked towards the old lady who claimed to be well-informed, but the other party took a few steps back in panic.
"You, are you the eldest young master of the Yang family?" the old lady asked fearfully, looking at Yang Yuyao who was standing in front of her. She had heard that all the descendants of the Yang family were beautiful, but even if she came outside the General's Mansion every month to collect her monthly payment, she had never seen one of them. Today she did meet someone, but this person was so beautiful and looked extremely noble. Just standing there made her feel ashamed. "Please, please don't get too close to me, old lady, I'm afraid I'll burn you!"
"Okay." Yang Yuyao was happy after being stunned for a moment. With his temperament, of course he couldn't get too close to others. Usually, others would come closer to him, but he didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to ask him to stay away. Of course he happily agreed.
"You don't have to kneel down, just stand and speak." Seeing the old lady about to kneel down, Yang Yuyao said quickly.
"Master, have mercy!" The old lady bowed to Yang Yuyao and began to answer Yang Yuyao's question. "As far as I know, old woman, it's not very good, but it's all their fault."
"How do you say this?" Yang Yuyao asked puzzledly.
"That's a lot to say." The old lady replied, "Young Master Yang, wait a moment, let me think about it."
"As for this matter, the old lady, I think we should start talking about it when Huang Donkey knows that Huang Yatou was bought by your general's mansion." The old lady said. Yang Yuyao was slightly stunned. From then on, he really wanted to say Got a lot.
"Not long after Huang Yatou was sold by Huang Donzi, Huang Donzi lost his job because he molested the host's niece. When he was looking for a job again, he met the person who sold Huang Yatou, Yazi. Ren Yazi was very happy because he sold Huang Yatou to your house, so he invited Huang Donkey to drink. So Huang Donkey learned from Ren Yazi that Huang Yatou had become a maid in the general's house. Then the old woman saw Huang Donkey Come and collect Huang Yatou’s monthly payment.”
"At that time, the old woman, I was a little curious when I saw Huang Donkey. I thought that this man was very young and strong. He was missing arms and legs. How could he sell his daughter? At that time, the old woman thought that Huang Yatou was being raped. The kidnapped, yellow donkey worked so hard to find his whereabouts. I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect, this yellow donkey would be such a person. Oh my, what a crime! As a girl from his family, I’m so pitiful!”
"Young Master Yang." A woman wearing a black veil hat and walking with a limp on crutches came over and said. Judging from her figure and her voice, she seemed to be in her forties. As for her legs, one of her legs was broken very high and could not be seen hidden in the skirt, and the other leg did not have a complete sole. As she walked, the hem of her skirt was slightly pulled up, revealing severed limbs that were thickly wrapped with strips of cloth. She even accidentally exposed her hands, and there were obvious traces of being burned by the fire on the back of her hands.
Seeing her coming, a thin boy quickly ran over with his head lowered to help her, and helped her kneel down together.
"Young Master Yang, people in Granny Wang's field are indeed very well-informed. What she said should be feasible." The woman said, she was panting every time she spoke, and it seemed that she was having difficulty breathing.
"I understand, let's get up first. Grandma, please continue." Yang Yuyao said, his eyes calm and not obviously moved. At the same time, he sent a message to Zhou Xie'an who was standing next to him. "Uncle Zhou, please ask someone to get some water to quench their thirst. These are mostly old, weak and disabled people. It's not easy to endure this hot day."
"Okay. I take orders." Zhou Xie'an replied, looking at Yang Yuyao with loving eyes, and used Xunlian to contact the servants equipped with communication bracelets in the mansion, asking them to prepare drinking water and bowls. come over.
It was cloudy this morning, but by now, all the clouds had dispersed, and it suddenly became hotter. This is really uncomfortable for the family members of these servants who have come from afar. And except for the short and stocky man who was called a yellow donkey by Granny Wang, the other family members were either old or disabled.
Today, Yang Yuyao saw not many family members who came to collect money. There were only five people in total including Huang Luzi. Apart from Huang Luzi and Granny Wang, the woman wearing a curtain and hat covering her face seemed to be not very conscious. A normal little old man and a woman without hands looked at them blankly.
Noticing that Yang Yuyao was observing these people, Zhou Xie'an used a voice transmission to briefly introduce these people to Yang Yuyao.
Grandma Wang transports waste water. Even in Xiadu, there are no sewage pipes or septic tanks built to discharge sewage. Therefore, even if you have a toilet at home, you still need to empty the toilet that is almost full regularly. Therefore, Wang My mother-in-law has a job like walking around the streets late at night to collect these excrements, transport them out of the city, and sell them to farmers for farming.
But when she was young, Granny Wang was the most powerful embroiderer in Xiadu. However, one day she suddenly fell ill. After being ill for a long time, her husband, son and daughter-in-law ran away with all their property, leaving only a young child behind. She gave her granddaughter to her, and thinking that she wouldn't live long, she had no choice but to sell her to the general's mansion as a maid.
For the ordinary people in Xiadu, it is not acceptable for a helpless eight or nine-year-old girl to be sold to the Yang family as a maid. That is the best way out for a girl in this situation. Although it is said that women in the Xia Kingdom can serve as officials like men, there are only a few people who can do that. You have to have the best wealth and talent to do it. The vast majority of women still have difficulty making money. Not to mention that for such a young child, the only option is to be sold as a maid.
Of course, in fact this is still human trafficking, but for the people, the priority must be to survive. If one's life is lost, dignity will be out of the question.
If Granny Wang was still the powerful embroiderer, she could certainly take her granddaughter with her and raise her, but then her own life would be at risk. Although she is getting better now, she can no longer afford an embroidery needle. Not just embroidery needles, she couldn't do any fine work, so she found work like transporting excrement and water.
The woman who told Yang Yuyao that Grandma Wang's words were trustworthy was also named Huang. She and another woman who lost her hands both lost their husbands when a monster attacked Xiadu and became severely disabled in order to protect their children. . Both of their children took the initiative to sell themselves and became servants of the general's palace.
And that silly little old man was once a beggar who found an abandoned baby and raised him. He and the adopted child escaped the chaos of monsters, but the little old man was looked at by several young people passing by when he was begging, and they beat him up. In order to save him, the abandoned baby also He took the initiative to sell himself as a servant of the Yang family and get money to treat this little old man. Unfortunately, after being cured, the little old man often lost his mind.
"At the beginning, that man Yazi said that Huang Ya's parents were really poor and could not afford to raise their children, so they sold her to raise several other children because she was capable of working. However, this yellow donkey had always acted humble every time he came here. He looks honest, if he hadn't finally revealed his true face today..." Zhou Xie'an said through a message to Yang Yuyao, he felt a little regretful that he had made a mistake.
"He is indeed poor, with a poor heart and a poor body." Yang Yuyao responded. He didn't accuse Zhou Xie'an of making a mistake. In fact, he didn't make a mistake just by looking at Huang Ya. The fact that Huang Ya was selected to allow Yang Yuyao to choose his personal servants is enough proof that all aspects of her have been verified by many people over a long period of time. It's just that she, the three sisters, had extremely bad parents. Even the middleman, Yazi, may not know that Huangluzi is a person who treats his daughter purely as a commodity.
Granny Wang said that after Huang Ya was sold, her two younger sisters were the only ones working in the family, while her three younger brothers did nothing with the connivance of their parents.
Granny Wang also said that she didn't know if Huang Luzi found out after receiving Huang Ya's monthly money that it was still quite a lot. Plus the money he got from selling Huang Ya to Ren Yazi, he never worked again. The Nuanhong Pavilion that Huang Luzi often visited was a low-end and cheap brothel. Every time he received Huang Ya's monthly payment, he would go there and give the remaining money to his wife and son. Then he stayed at home and waited for his next monthly payment.
The monthly money given to the servants by the General's Mansion is indeed quite large. Except for the first month's assessment period, there is no monthly money. After passing the assessment, even third-class servants will receive one dan of money each. If you do it for a long time and have good work ability and a good attitude, you can get more monthly money. The maximum can even reach 1,500 cash.
But such a high monthly salary is certainly not easy to get. The general's palace has strict requirements for servants, which are comparable to the maids working in the palace. Yang Yuyao thought that Tushan, who was good at doing various chores, was taken for training by Hongwan and has not yet graduated.
But even if this monthly payment is relatively large, the monthly payment for a third-class servant is less than twenty taels of silver a year. With this alone, it is not enough to support a family. What's more, Yellow Donkey has to spend part of it first every month? Maybe it's because their family lives in the suburbs and has their own fields. The two girls work on the fields. Otherwise, if they don't work, the remaining money will not be able to support them.
"Yes, farming, raising chickens, washing, and cleaning. Every time I pass by the old lady, I see those two girls doing it. Those three boys basically wander around the village all day long, stealing chickens, poking around, and causing trouble. .About a year ago, the eldest son named Huang Yong became obsessed with gambling."
