Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

"Okay, I'll introduce it to you. Don't worry, you know what I'm doing. Most of these people are refugees. Almost all their family members are dead. I promise that they are peaceful masters and will never betray you. Whenever one of you makes trouble, you come to me and I promise to refund your money."

Zou Yaren said, patting his chest.

Seeing Yan Xia nodding with a smile, he immediately turned around and began to introduce.

"The first one is called Huang Yi, and the one next to him is Huang Er. The two brothers are twins who also fled together. They have no relatives at home and sold themselves into slavery. They were sold to the landlord Liu's house in Linxian County and signed a living contract. , I didn’t expect Landlord Liu to have a hot temper, and would beat and scold them at every turn. As soon as the contract period passed, they came to Shuangqiao Town to ask for a living. I trained the two brothers for two or three months. They were honest and willing to work, and never cheated or cheated. .”

The one Zou Yaren introduced first was basically the one he was most satisfied with.

Sure enough, Yan Xia's eyes were fixed on the two brothers.

"You guys must be around sixteen or seventeen, why are you selling yourself into slavery? You two brothers can get into the next family business if you work harder, right?"

When Huang saw the noble man asking questions, he glanced at Zou Yaren and saw him nodding.

He replied immediately.

"Shopkeeper Huiyan, my brother and I have been fleeing with our family since we were young. We were injured by hunger, so we grew short. In fact, I am already in my mid-twenties. The master of the house above treated us badly. My brother was beaten by him. It means we have lost an heir, otherwise we would not have left, and all the money we saved was used to treat my brother's medical problems. By chance, we encountered the corvee. If we established our own household registration, I would definitely be expropriated. I am worried about my brother living alone. It's better for him to remain a slave, but we don't sign a death contract, only a living contract."

Yan Xia noticed a detail. When Huang Yi spoke, Huang Er's eye circles were slightly red. The relationship between the two brothers should be very good.

"Well, Zou Yaren, let's continue with the introduction."

Yan Xia looked away.

"Yes, Shopkeeper Yan. This is Zhang Luzi. He is sixteen this year and a native of Shuangqiao Town. His family suffered a disaster a few years ago and his parents died. He is also an only son. He is not old and was taken over by his family members. Sold as a boy, he can read and write, but he is not very strong physically, but his brain is quick and he is smart and obedient."

"Well, did you make a mistake and get betrayed?"

Yan Xia looked at the young man in front of him. He was quite tall, but very thin, and his face was pale. He looked like a weak scholar. He was good-looking, with slender and slender hands, and was very beautiful.

He didn't look like he had done any heavy work.

He should have followed a good master. If that was the case, why was he sold again? Was he making a big mistake?

Then he asked Zou Yaren.

"this...."

Zou Yaren was a little embarrassed, just when he didn't know how to speak.

Zhang Luzi took a step forward.

"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Yan, it's not easy for Zou Ya people to talk about it, so for myself, my first master was very good to me and he was close to me in age. He was admitted as a scholar at a young age and was sent to Yuanshan Academy by his family. When I was studying, students were not allowed to have servants there, so I stayed at home. Because of my delicate appearance, I was noticed by the second master of the family. He wanted me to succumb to him. I sued the eldest lady and spent all the money I had saved. I redeemed myself. Fortunately, the eldest lady took pity on me, agreed to my leaving, and gave me a tael of silver as a gift. But I am too weak to do farm work, and I don’t want to go back to that jackal’s den..."

Zhang Luzi's voice gradually became trembling.

It must be recalling the bad things in the past.

"I originally wanted to find a job as an accountant, but the second master has too many friends. He just said hello. All the shops in Jiashe County did not dare to accept me. I can only sell myself as a slave. Shopkeeper Yan, don't worry, I Although I am weak, I have a good brain, I know a lot of words, and I have read a lot of books. As long as you give me a place to live and food to eat, I can do anything."

Zhang Luzi almost knelt down to Yan Xia.

The family in front of him is powerful.

For half a year, no one dared to buy him.

If Zou Yaren hadn't heard that shopkeeper Yan had a relationship with the county magistrate, Zou Yaren wouldn't have brought him here.

He knew that Zou Ya was a kind person and pitied him.

"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Yan. Things in this route are a bit complicated. I just brought him to gather the number of people. I'll introduce you to the next one."

Zou Yaren saw Yan Xia's face turn slightly cold and thought she was angry.

Quickly pull Zhang Luzi aside.

Apologize to her.

"No problem, but I will only sign a death contract. If you are willing, then stay."

Yan Xia took a sip of tea.

Just then, Xiao Ji came out of the backyard with a tea cup.

"Zou Yaren, let's have some tea."

Yan Xia smiled slightly and motioned for him to take the tea.

"Hey, thank you, shopkeeper Yan."

Zou Yaren took the tea cup and took a small sip.

The tea soup is clear, with a slight grassy green color. When you take a sip, the fragrance sweeps through your mouth. It is a good tea as soon as you drink it.

"I sign, I sign! As long as shopkeeper Yan is willing to buy from me, I will sign."

Zhang Luzi knelt on the ground, excited.

His one tael of silver has long been spent. If he can't sell it anymore, Zouya people won't be able to keep him. Where else can he go?

Leaving Jiashe County?

He did not want.

My parents’ graves are here.

"Well, stand up. Don't keep kneeling. I don't like to see this. You stand behind me first."

Yan Xia ordered.

"Yes, master."

After all, he had worked in a wealthy family, and Zhang Luzi was very knowledgeable, so he immediately changed his mind.

The first reason why Yan Xia bought him was to pity him.

The second is that she really needs a smart "own person" to manage her affairs. After all, her two sons have never read a book. Although she taught them how to read, they have never seen the world.

A young boy from a wealthy family is very precious. As for the second master, Yan Xia is not afraid of him.

If the power is greater than that of the magistrate, I am afraid that the Zouya people will not bring him here. Since he has brought him, it means that it is just like that, and he cannot get past the magistrate.

Yan Xia was not very satisfied with the next three men Zou Yaren introduced.

Either they are too young to be of much use, or they have bad looks and impure eyes.

Hard to control.

"This is Gu Xiaomei. She is seventeen this year. Her parents died young. There is only one grandma in the family. She also went there at the beginning of the year. The relatives in the village who were beyond her reach wanted to sell her to a kiln as a kiln girl. She ran out and sold herself to the kiln. We in Yaxing can be considered a poor person, Xiaomei is usually diligent, gets up early, works much, and eats less, so she is a good girl."

Zou Yaren praised Gu Xiaomei again and again.

Yan Xia had no choice but to look her up and down.

He has a round face, clear eyes, a fleshy nose, and a good face. He looks like a blessed person.

"Are you willing to sign a death contract?"

Yan Xia spoke calmly.

"willing!"

Gu Xiaomei readily agreed.

No matter the death contract, even if she was allowed to live in a pig pen, it would be better than being a kiln girl.
