Rebirth of Wendong Xiaoji

Chen Wendong's family stayed in the inn for half a month. His father's condition fluctuated from time to time, and there was no improvement. The two taels of silver given by Mr. Zheng were also spent. His face became even uglier.

Chen Wendong has been looking for work non-stop these days, but no one is willing to take him. Although Chen Wendong is a time traveler, he needs no strength, no skills, and no one cares about him except recruiting apprentices. Chen Wendong was in a hurry.

"Hey, boy, do you still pay the room fee? Our boss can tell you, if you don't pay the money, don't live here anymore." The store clerk left after speaking, leaving Chen Wendong standing alone in a daze.

Chen Wendong knew in his heart that they might be kicked out by the shopkeeper, and sure enough, the innkeeper came over just after the guy left for a while.

"Little boy, hurry up and help your father go. Don't blame me for being unreasonable. Just your father's sickness here will affect a lot of my business. Besides, you haven't paid the rent for three days. This day Who can afford to eat and live for free until late at night? I don’t want the room fee for these few days, you guys leave quickly!”

"Dong'er, come in!" Chen Wendong heard his father call him, and hurried to the back room. Wen Guang and Wen Ju were helping his father put on his coat with tears in his eyes. It seemed that his father heard what he said just now.

"Daddy, don't worry, let me think of a way."

"Son, it's hard for you. Help me up quickly. Guang'er, please pack your things and we'll leave." Chen Wendong felt very uncomfortable, and hurried over to help his father who was struggling to get to the ground. Wang Yanzhi also came to help, and the family The man tidied up and went outside.His father was exhausted and coughed violently as soon as he reached the door of the inn. Chen Wendong had no choice but to help his father up the steps.

"I said, you are blocking the door, how can we do business? Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Dude, my father is not in good health yet, please let him rest for a while, don't worry, we will not delay your business." When Chen Wendong said this, he was already a little annoyed.

"Dong'er, let's go!" The father said and was about to get up, but because of too much force, he fell directly on his back to the ground, passed out, and scared Chen Wendong and the others terribly.

"Daddy! Wake up!"

"Daddy, what's wrong with you!"

Among the people Chen Wendong grabbed his father, several people kept calling, and it took a long time for his father to wake up. When he opened his eyes, two lines of tears flowed down the corners of his eyes and into his hair.Chen Wendong gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind. He turned his head and looked around. At this time, there were already many people around. The most conspicuous ones were two old men about 60 years old who were riding on horseback. Extraordinary, it is not an ordinary family at first glance.

Chen Wendong stood up, gave a deep bow to the crowd, and said, "Fellow folks, my hometown was hit by a flood a month ago. My father and son were desperate and came all the way here to find relatives. My father contracted a cold again and couldn't afford to be sick. As a son, I failed to take good care of my father. I was already unfilial. How could I just watch my father seriously ill. Here, I beg all the folks and elders to remember me For the sake of filial piety, lend me some silver taels so that I can treat my father's illness, and I, Chen Wendong, promise to repay it three times within three years."

As soon as Chen Wendong finished speaking, there were discussions around, but no one was willing to lend him the money. In fact, Chen Wendong didn't know what to do in his heart. Not going to ask for it.Chen Wendong stood there for a long time, and his heart gradually became cold. Just when he was about to give up, the two old men on horseback came over leading the horse.

"Baby, come here, let's take a step to talk." Chen Wendong hesitated, and followed the old man to a secluded place.

"Baby, I can help you treat your father, and I can also give you a sum of money so that your father can buy a house and land to live a stable life, but I have other conditions."

"Old man, if you have something to say, you may wish to speak directly. Can you tell me the conditions you requested first?" Chen Wendong looked at the old man suspiciously, and made a gesture of negotiation, but he was very uneasy in his heart. He estimated that the other party's conditions would not too easy.

"There is only one condition. You sell yourself to our house and become a book boy for my young master. As long as you agree, I will fulfill my promise."

After hearing what the old man said, Chen Wendong was silent for a while, then looked directly at the old man and said slowly, "I'm afraid I can't meet your conditions. Thank you for your kindness, old man. I'd better think of another way."

Chen Wendong was not angry, but was a little stimulated. Only now did he realize that this was no longer the society he was familiar with. There was no human rights in the moral code of this society.

"Baby, you have to think carefully. Even if you can think of a way, can your father afford to wait? I just said that because you value love and righteousness, and have a good character. You are not a wealthy family, but not everyone can enter. Besides, you are a book boy, so you are naturally different from ordinary servants. As long as you take good care of my young master, our family will naturally not treat you badly. .”

"The old man's words are biased. To me, as long as my father can recover, I am willing to take my life, not to mention being a servant; but to my father and the Chen family, this is a great humiliation. I Chen The family has been scholarly for generations, has cultivated and studied the family, and does not ask the descendants to be officials, but also cannot tolerate the descendants becoming servants, if I agree to the conditions of the old man today, I will make my father unrighteous."

"So, the little baby doesn't accept my kindness?" The old man was not annoyed, but his eyes staring at Chen Wendong became brighter.

"Your 'good intention', I naturally accept, but the conditions need to be discussed again." Although Chen Wendong said his words strictly, he knew very well in his heart that in their current situation, it was not easy to borrow money. The most important thing was that his father's illness could not be delayed.Chen Wendong can only take a gamble, he can't let go of this opportunity, since this person is willing to spend so much time on him, it means that he has this value, in other words, this book boy may not be so easy to be, now he wants to What he did was to fight for the most favorable conditions for himself, even though it was a trap, Chen Wendong recognized it.

"It seems that the little baby is not satisfied with the conditions I said? Then what conditions do you want?" A hint of amusement flashed in the eyes of the old man.

"I can sign a contract with your mansion, but I'm not selling myself as a slave. Within three years, I will serve the young master for free, and your mansion will provide me with board and lodging. After three years, I can stay as I please."

"What a big tone," the old man's expression became serious, and his tone became severe.

"Of course, what I can bring you is much more." Chen Wendong looked at the other party firmly, not shying away from the sharp eyes of the old man.

"Even if you are worth it, I will not agree to your conditions. What I want is a book boy, the help of our young master, not a half-hearted bastard who just wants to run away." Speaking of this, the old man stared at Chen Wendong After a while, I saw Chen Wendong smiling at him, with an attitude of listening attentively, as if what he just said was not him.

"Of course, I also understand your thoughts. You don't want to be a servant for the rest of your life. You are afraid that your family reputation will be humiliated and your future future will be hindered. How about this? You can sign a contract of living. Within 15 years, you must serve my young master with all your heart. , after 15 years, I will return the deed of sale to you, this is my biggest concession."

"I said before that I will not sell my body. We can discuss the contents of the contract and draw up the contract. Since the old man cares about me so much, I can't be ignorant. It will be ten years at the most. Within ten years, I will do my best to assist the respected young master. For the first three years, I will be my master." To repay your kindness to our family, you will have to pay for my hard work in the next seven years."

After a lot of back and forth, Chen Wendong finally reached an agreement with the old man. Chen Wendong sold himself to the old man's house for the first three years, and after three years, the contract of sale would be returned to Chen Wendong unconditionally. After that, Chen Wendong would work in the house for another seven years in the name of a hired worker.
