HCB Chapter 164 This Winter
Chapter 164 This Winter
In the end, the three of them were driven away by the broker. Lin Jiaojiao felt bad watching their leaving backs.
In the end, I couldn't overcome my conscience. Since she had run into me, I couldn't just ignore it.
She trotted after him, "Wait a moment."
The old man turned around in surprise, thinking that it was the broker who had changed his mind, but he didn't expect it was the woman at the beginning.
"Does your family need servants? My two grandsons may look small, but they are very skillful at work."
She watched him trying his best to promote the two children beside him, and the two children also cooperated very well and said what they could do. She sighed in her heart, took out her purse and took out the silver from it.
"Here is one ounce of silver. Take it and buy some food and clothes for the winter."
"Thank you, girl. Thank you, girl. Xiaowu and Xiaoliu went to your house and worked hard..."
As soon as she heard it, she knew he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, this silver is for you, and there is no need for them to sell their bodies."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the three men about to kneel down, so she hurriedly supported him, while the two younger ones beside him were already kneeling and kowtowing.
"Please buy us, sir. We don't have much to eat, but we just need a place to sleep..."
"Please, sir, we can't survive if we go back..."
The old grandfather couldn't bear to see his two grandsons beside him, "I don't want this money, girl, I just hope you can take them back and have something to eat..."
At this time, Sun Qian also hurried over. She was afraid that the nobleman would be entangled and get upset.
"Boss Lin, the contract is ready."
She ran over breathlessly, then found out who the three people were and rushed to rescue them.
"Boss Lin, are you okay? These three people have come here a few times before, but they only came here because they couldn't make ends meet in the middle of winter. I hope they didn't offend you?"
Lin Jiaojiao shook her head. Seeing that he would rather give the person away without money, she thought that he must be having a hard time at home.
"Okay, everyone, get up. I'll take these two children."
"Thank you, girl. You are a living Buddha. Thank you..."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you..."
Sun Qian beside her also understood instantly, "Boss Lin, let me help you get the indenture, otherwise you won't be able to explain what will happen if you don't have the indenture."
She nodded after hearing this. After all, even their grandfather didn't want to keep them at home, so it was conceivable that there were many conflicts in the family.
"Okay, let's go."
The group returned to the dental clinic, and Lin Dadan also came out of the clinic's toilet. Unexpectedly, there were several more people around her all of a sudden.
"Boss, what is this?"
"These two little ones were just bought."
The broker who had driven the three people away was regretting her decision. She got closer and saw that the contract written by Sun Qian was sold for five hundred coins each. She was so regretful that her intestines turned green. If she had accepted it without asking for money, she could have earned about a hundred coins.
Because the transaction could not be stamped without going through the brokerage firm, fortunately Lin Dadan always carried the farm seal with her. After she stamped it, Sun Qian originally planned to make another trip for them, but Lin Jiaojiao refused.
"Here's a hundred coins. It's my reward for your hard work. Take it. We're leaving now."
Sun Qian was so happy that she quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Boss Lin. This is what I should do. You can come to me if you need anything next time."
Sun Qian sent them to the door and watched them leave. She couldn't stop smiling. She hoped they could have a good winter.
"Sister Sun, you must have made more than seven taels of silver from this deal. You should treat everyone to a meal tonight to celebrate."
"Yes, yes, Sister Sun, I know a good pub, we can go there."
She was somewhat disgusted with those who loved to take advantage of others. Although she was older than them, she had only been in this industry for two years. She still had to maintain superficial relationships with them to avoid being bullied.
"Okay, no problem. Let's get together tonight."
Ya Xing immediately cheered and said, "I knew that Sister Sun was generous and would not be as stingy as someone else."
"That's right, someone made dozens of taels of silver last time..."
She smiled helplessly, shook her head, and sat back in her seat, not joining in their condemnation.
While she was not seeing it, a brothel owner sneaked out. But after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find the old man. How could an old man walk so fast? She was so angry that she kicked over the wooden sign at the door of another shop.
"Who is it?"
Hearing the noise coming from the shop, she hurriedly fled the scene, and at this time a carriage passed by her.
Lin Jiaojiao brought them to the carriage and asked them to get on together. When the old grandfather saw his two grandsons get on the carriage, he was ready to leave with peace of mind.
When she saw the man was about to leave, she quickly called out to him and asked him to get in with her. Finally, he got on the carriage under her persuasion. After all, an old man was carrying silver on him, and the people from the pawnshop had also seen it, so it was better to be more careful. She didn't want anything to happen because of her in the middle of winter.
After finding out that the old grandfather's home was in a village outside the city, she first asked Lin Dadan to go to Liu Ying's cloth shop and buy four sets of clothes that the two children could wear, and asked them to wear them. However, they were reluctant to wear the new clothes in their hands.
Then he asked the old man if he wanted to buy some cloth and asked him to wait for him, but he just shook his head and said that he could just be taken to the grain shop while he bought some rice.
Lin Dadan drove the carriage to the yamen to get the stamp, and then drove the carriage to the grain shop.
The old man got off the car to buy five kilograms of coarse rice and came back. With Lin Dadan by his side, everything went smoothly.
Seeing that he only bought this little bit of food, she didn't say much. After all, every family has its own problems, and she didn't want to meddle in other people's business. She went out of the city gate, sent the man to the intersection of his village, and then drove away.
She looked at the boys who were sitting stiffly in the carriage, holding their new clothes. Their eyes were slightly red, but they did not cry because they were separated from their families.
It seemed that they were not very nostalgic for that home, but she was still prepared to make things clear.
"Since you're here, don't think about the past and work hard to do your job. I see you're still young, but I still have to make it clear to you. If you think crookedly and do something out of line, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed to show their loyalty. She asked them to stand up and sit properly, and then she closed her eyes and rested.
Xiaowu then dared to look at her secretly. He thought that he and his brother would die this winter.
Grandma, mother and uncle beat and scolded them every day, saying that they were a waste of money. When the weather was cold, they still wore summer clothes. When it was too cold, they put on all their clothes, but they only had two pieces of clothes in total and were still cold.
Looking back at the two sets of thick clothes in his hands, he really couldn't bear to put them on directly, for fear of getting the clothes dirty.
But he and Xiaoliu can survive this winter. Grandpa was right. They have met the Bodhisattva.
