The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 283 Selling Yourself into a Slave ([-])

Ever since such a large group of servants came from the capital, almost everyone in Geshan Village knew that the Su family would go to the capital soon. There were quite a few people who came to the Su family to inquire about the situation these days, but when they asked the Ning family, they didn’t know much about it. Su Yunduo always smiled without saying a word.

This day, Wei Shi also came over to inquire about the news while the kitchen was not busy: "Girl Yunduo, just tell the auntie, how long can I continue to work in the kitchen?"

Since the start of work on the eighth day of February, except for the busy days of farming, Mrs. Wei has become the dedicated cook of the Su family.

Except for the first few days or so, there were more day laborers in other places. Later, there were usually about a dozen of day laborers in other places. Gradually, the work in the kitchen was not considered busy, but the wages were not a lot of money. To be honest, Wei Shi was really willing. Don't lose this job.

"Even if you go to the capital, you can't take the big beach of Geshan Village with you. The planting and harvesting of medicinal materials will still require a lot of part-time workers every year. Only the labor in our village is definitely enough. The part-time workers hired outside must be paid for, ma'am." If you want, you can contract the work of the kitchen." Su Yunduo also talked with Wei about the part-time job of contracting the food.

The Wei family was a little dazed, Su Yunduo is no longer in Geshan Village, how can he operate?

Su Yunduo only had an intentional idea here, she asked Wei to go back and discuss with Liu Donglin and his son and daughter-in-law, and if the family is willing, the two parties should sit down and discuss it.

Just as Su Yunduo sent the Wei family away, Zhang Pingan, one of the long-term workers, found Su Yunduo and stammered, "I heard that you are going to the capital. I don't know, can you take me away?"

Su Yunduo looked at Zhang Ping'an in surprise. Zhang Ping'an signed a five-year long-term contract with the Su family, and did not sell himself to a servant of the Su family.

Su Yunduo didn't plan to take anyone other than the servants sent by Zisu and Mrs. Lu to the capital.

But Zhang Ping'an said more and more smoothly: "Miss Su, take me out of here. I can sign a contract of sale. I know I don't know much, but I can learn, and I can guarantee my absolute loyalty to you. You have to have Then one or two of your own."

Although Zhang Ping'an's words made Su Yunduo a little tempted, she really needed one or two loyal and available people, but she hadn't thought about taking people from Geshan Village for the time being.

Su Yunduo didn't know what was going on in the capital, but he couldn't bear to hurt Su Chengzhi's heart of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, so he had to rush to the capital.

How can Su Yunduo take care of others when she herself is not sure about her future?

"Sell yourself? Do you understand the meaning of selling yourself?!" Su Yunduo frowned tightly, staring at Zhang Ping'an seriously.

Zhang Pingan lowered his eyes, trying to hide the emotion in his eyes, but the gloom and sadness that flashed in his eyes still fell into Su Yunduo's eyes.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Pingan raised his eyes and looked at Su Yunduo: "I know! But if I continue to stay in Geshan Village, even if I become a long-term worker in your family, I will at most just try to earn enough food and clothing. I, I can't keep working A long-term worker, but he will never have a penny in his hand! I still want to save some money to carry a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line, I can't let my house lose the incense."

His tone was calm, but there was sadness in his eyes that couldn't be concealed.

Although Su Yunduo seldom paid attention to the family situation of long-term workers and short-term workers, Zhang Pingan's situation was really special, and she couldn't care less if she wanted to.

Because of Zhang Ping's wages, Zhang Shengbao's mother-in-law, Zhang Ping's aunt, took advantage of Zhang Ping's delivery of food to Lin County, and once made a fuss with Su Yunduo, insisting on paying Zhang Ping's wages for one year in advance.

If the long-term worker in the family is really in trouble, Su Yunduo is not a particularly hard-hearted person and will pay the bills, but the Zhang family is not among them.

Zhang Shengbao and his wife were not Zhang Ping'an's parents, but Zhang Ping'an's aunt and uncle. Naturally, it was impossible for Su Yunduo to agree to Zhang Shengbao's wife's unreasonable request to withdraw Zhang Ping's salary for one year in advance.

Zhang Shengbao's mother-in-law failed to get a bargain from Su Yunduo, so she urged the two elders in the family to come to Su Yunduo for money.

The two elders of the Zhang family were also extremely difficult people, facing the two elders who couldn't make sense and could neither scold nor beat, Su Yunduo was so angry that he greeted the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Zhang family in his heart.

However, Su Yunduo is also a person who tolerates softness and is not afraid of hard work, no matter how entangled the Zhang family is, he insists on not letting the Zhang family succeed.

It's a pity that Zhang Ping'an himself was a disappointment. He came back from Lin County to deliver food, and when he heard the news, he found Su Yunduo slowly, and paid a year's wages in advance to send it to Zhang's family.

Of course, Su Yunduo knew in his heart that the reason why Zhang Ping'an did that was because he was afraid that if the Zhang family continued to pester him, Su Yunduo would expel him directly, and he wouldn't even be able to eat this full meal.

I think when Zhang Shengbao went back to his hometown to pick him up to Geshan Village, he carried the money from the sale of the real estate in his hometown, but the so-called grandparents and aunts cheated him out of all the money, and instead went around saying that he was a freelancer. oil bottle.

Zhang Ping'an doesn't want to think about these past events, and he doesn't want to worry about them anymore, but as he said just now, in addition to working hard to survive, he has to marry a wife and have children, so as to carry on the family line for Zhang's family. incense.

Zhang Pingan, a young man begged bitterly with tears, Su Yunduo couldn't stand it anymore, and the soft-hearted Ning Shi and Zi Su had already had red eye circles.

I always knew that Zhang Ping'an's life in Zhang's family was difficult, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Is this still a relative?

"They are not my real grandparents at all. The branch of my family is the long house, and the branch of Uncle Shengbao is the second house. If it hadn't been for Uncle Shengbao's crime, my Zhang family would not have fallen into ruin. My grandparents and uncle Parents will not die early one by one." In order to win Su Yunduo's sympathy, Zhang Ping'an also worked hard, and finally told the truth that the Zhang family had been hiding all along.

Su Yunduo did sympathize with Zhang Ping'an's situation, but she did not agree to Zhang Ping'an's situation. After all, it is difficult for Su Yunduo to accept that a good citizen wants to sell himself.

However, Su Yunduo really seriously considered the possibility of taking Zhang Ping'an away. Zhang Ping'an's temperament seems a little weak but he also has his edges and corners. He seems to be rigid in his work, but he is not the kind of person who does not know how to adapt. She really needs such a person around her. One of the men ran errands for her.

"Girl, why don't you think about it. When you go to the capital, you will always need someone to run errands for you. The capital is no better than the countryside. When you enter the inner courtyard of the Su family and become the second wife of the Su family, it will not be so convenient to go out. The business in your hand You always need someone to take care of it for you, instead of finding a novice, it’s better to bring two experienced ones there." After sending Zhang Ping'an away, Zisu finally spoke up after hesitating to speak several times.

Su Yunduo glanced at Zisu and didn't say anything. Zisu knew that what he said was a little too much, so she spat at herself secretly, bowed her head and didn't dare to go overboard when doing things, Zhang Ping's life was good or bad, in the end It has nothing to do with her.

Ning opened her mouth, finally sighed, and said nothing.
