Joe's Farming

Gu Feng had already paid the money for the previous people to sell their bodies. When he saw Qiao Yu leading another man out, he asked the human trafficker how much it would cost without saying a word.

Seeing that the two men were honest and bought two of the most difficult ones right away, the trafficker immediately said with a smile, "This last kid is strong and healthy, twenty taels. You and your husband bought a lot today, so I'll give you two two taels less. You can just give me eighteen taels."

Gu Feng took out eighteen taels of silver and gave it to the human trafficker, and also took Da Zhuang's indenture.

Seeing that Gu Feng was much calmer at the moment, Qiao Yu stepped forward, held her husband's hand and comforted him, "Take big brother back to the inn to welcome him first. I'll take them to buy some winter clothes and ask the fur shop if they can make the scarf quickly. Let's go home early."

Gu Feng looked at his thoughtful husband with gratitude and nodded.

Gu Gang looked at the unfamiliar surroundings in confusion: "Afeng, brother, where are we going?" After Gu Feng and Hongxiu's explanation, Gu Gang finally recognized Gu Feng as his younger brother.

Gu Feng quickly responded: "Brother, let's go to the inn first and go home tomorrow, okay?"

Gu Gang chuckled: "Okay, go home, go home."

Just like that, Gu Feng and Hong Xiu led Gu Gang back to the inn first, and Qiao Yu took the other three to the next street.

Qiao Yu asked Bai Lan and Qing Ge'er: "Can you two make clothes?"

Qing Ge'er was stunned for a moment and nodded uncomfortably. He didn't like being forced to learn these things.

Bai Lan also nodded: "Does the boss want to prepare winter clothes for the children?"

Qiao Yu: "Well, the children have already been made by others, but if both of you know how to make them, you can make two more sets. The main thing is that you also need to make your own clothes."

Bai Lan was surprised: "Be yourself."

"Yes, I will buy two sets of clothes for each of you later, and you can just make do with them for now. Then we will buy some cloth and cotton, so that we can save some money. From now on, your family will give each of you two sets of clothes every quarter, and you may have to make them." Qiao Yu said naturally.

When Qingger heard this, his frozen expression cracked a little: "Are you serious, Boss?" After all, he might not be able to wear a new set of clothes in a year at home, and now Qiao Yu directly promised him eight new sets of clothes a year, which was really too much.

Qiao Yu blinked at him: "Why would I lie to you?"

Qiao Yu took the people to the cloth shop, where there were also some ready-made clothes and shoes.

Qiao Yu quickly walked around and bought two sets of clothes and shoes for each of the three people. In the end, she bought four colors of fabric: light pink, light blue, sky blue, and indigo. She didn't choose the most expensive fabric, but the one with the best value for money. Qiao Yu was good at bargaining and she bought a lot, so in the end the boss gave her a lot of discounts. When she was checking out, she remembered that her eldest brother and Hongxiu hadn't bought anything yet, so she estimated that each of them bought two sets of clothes and shoes.

Da Zhuang and Qing Ge'er took the initiative to carry all the things, and Bai Lan took two pairs of shoes.

Qiao Yu asked Da Zhuang to change his shoes first. Da Zhuang laughed and said, "Boss, I want to go back to the inn and wash my feet before changing."

Qiao Yu could understand this feeling very well, so he nodded and said nothing more.

Then Qiao Yu took everyone to the grocery store to buy daily necessities, such as handkerchiefs, combs, and toothbrushes. It was only when they arrived in the capital that Qiao Yu discovered that there were toothbrushes in this era, made of wood with holes poked and filled with pig or horse hair. Toothpaste was also available, but it was too expensive, so Qiao Yu did not buy it.

After completing his shopping, Qiao Yu went to the fur shop. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment before greeting him when he saw three more people around him.

"What's the matter with the guest?"

Qiao Yu nodded: "Can you make that scarf quickly? My husband and I have an urgent matter and want to go back early."

"Of course, you can, but it will cost an extra 100 coins. I will have someone make it overnight and you can come and pick it up at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow morning," said the shopkeeper.

Qiao Yu said happily: "Okay, thank you very much, boss, for arranging it as soon as possible. I'll come to pick it up tomorrow morning." Qiao Yu paid the money and hurriedly took the three people back to the inn.

When Qiao Yu arrived, Gu Feng had already asked the waiter to open three more rooms for them, one for Hongxiu and Gu Gang, one for Dazhuang and Qingger, and one for Bai Lan alone.

Da Zhuang hesitated and said, "It's not a good idea for me and my brother to live in the same room, right?"

Qing Ge'er rolled his eyes at him and said, "They are all men, what's wrong with that?"

Da Zhuang shrugged and said, "If you don't mind, I have nothing to be afraid of."

The waiter who led the way said, "There are two beds in the room. You two guests can use yourselves."

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

As for why Gu Gang and Hong Xiu were allowed to share a room, it was mainly because Gu Gang only recognized Hong Xiu now, and Gu Feng couldn't take him away, so this was the only arrangement for now.

When Gu Feng came back, he had already helped his elder brother take a bath. Qiao Yu happened to have bought new clothes for him to change into.

At this moment, there were only the four of them, Qiao Yu, in the room. Hong Xiu's eyes turned red again when she saw Gu Gang dressed in a neat suit: "Brother Gu is so handsome."

Gu Feng returned Hong Xiu's indenture contract to her: "Miss, you have suffered a lot in order to bring my elder brother back. Take this indenture contract. When we get home, I will take my brother and you to re-register as a resident."

Hong Xiu immediately refused: "My life was saved by Brother Gu, and I was planning to work like a slave to repay his kindness, so you should keep it."

Qiao Yu immediately pulled Gu Feng and whispered in his ear, "It doesn't matter who holds it. We can go to the government office together and change our names to good people."

Upon hearing this, Gu Feng put the indenture contract away.

At this time, the other three people also simply washed up and changed their clothes.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng ordered a table full of delicious food and wine in the lobby of the inn. Qiao Yu had no intention of treating them as slaves, but rather as his own employees. It was just that his employee status was special and his rights were greater than those of a worldly boss.

Although Gu Gang had lost his memory, he was very happy to see the food on the table. While he was eating, he kept picking up food for Gu Feng: "Brother, here! Eat more!"

Gu Feng smiled at him and picked some for his elder brother and husband.

Seeing that the other three were quite restrained, Qiao Yu poured them a glass of wine and said, "My husband and I already knew our names when we signed the contract just now. You can call me Dongjia or Qiao Ge'er from now on. Gu Ge and I are from Shangtian Village, Taoyuan County. We will take a boat back home tomorrow. If you want to say goodbye to your families, I won't restrict you. But you must gather here at noon tomorrow morning."

Qing Ge'er was the first to speak up: "My family doesn't need a brother. I gave them the ten taels of silver I earned from selling myself, and we are even now."

Bai Lan said with red eyes: "If my family could help me and my husband's family could tolerate me, I would not have willingly sold myself into this dental clinic."

Da Zhuang looked at Qiao Yu with bright eyes: "I don't have any family members I want to see. My mother has ignored me since she married my stepfather. When she saw me being beaten, she just hid in the house and pretended not to see it. This time, she even asked my stepfather to sell me for money. I...I will follow the boss from now on. I will be his member when I am alive and his ghost when I die!"
