The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 285 Selling Yourself into a Slave ([-])

Liu Donglin knew this Zheng Daniu quite well. Zheng Daniu's father was once the head of Rhinoceros Village.

Rhinoceros Village is located in the suburb of Xiushui County. Zheng's family originally had a good family background, but Zheng Daniu's father drank two extra sips of wine one day and accidentally fell into the water when he went to Xuntang alone in the middle of the night. He was soaked in the water for most of the night. After returning home, he couldn't afford to be sick again, and eventually died and emptied the Zheng family's relatively rich family fortune.

Zheng Daniu's mother-in-law couldn't bear the sudden poverty and ran away with a man half a year later. Zheng Daniu took his wife and daughter to guard a small fish pond to live a hard life.

"Zheng Daniu might want to sell himself more." Liu Donglin suddenly said such a sentence, so startled that Su Yunduo didn't know what to say.

Why do both of them want to sell themselves as slaves? !
But thinking about the current predicament of Zheng Daniu's family, the family is poor, but the old lady is weak and sick, and the daughter is still young, Su Yunduo felt that he could understand, and couldn't help but sighed for a long time

After a moment of silence, Su Yunduo pursed his lips and watched Liu Donglin express his thoughts: "Personally, I prefer to hire long-term workers. Uncle, please send a letter to Zheng Daniu, let him come over and talk about it."

Liu Donglin nodded, watched Su Yunduo hesitate to speak several times, before leaving he opened his mouth and said for Zhang Pingan: "If you think Ping'an is useful, please help him."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Su Yunduo's reply, he left Su's house in a hurry, looking for someone to bring a letter to Zheng Daniu.

After receiving the letter, Zheng Daniu hurried to Geshan Village early the next morning. He went to Liu Donglin's house first to find out what Su Yunduo meant.

"So, the Su family only wants to hire long-term workers?" Zheng Daniu frowned when Liu Donglin told Su Yunduo what he meant.

A few days ago, his mother and daughter fell ill one after another. He had no choice but to sell the ancestral house and the small fish pond together.

Although Su's parents provide food and housing for their jobs, he can't bring his mother and daughter to eat and live together.

His old mother and daughter are weak and sick, and the other is young and ignorant. They can't compare to Liu Jialin's widowed mother who can help with some kitchen work and has her own house to live in.

He wanted to sell himself, and used the money from selling himself to find a house in Geshan Village to house his mother and daughter, so that his mother and daughter could live and eat without worry, and he could take care of them nearby.

It doesn't seem to be possible now.

Zheng Daniu was very disappointed in his heart, so he couldn't bring himself to meet Su Yunduo.

But Liu Donglin tried to persuade him with good words: "Let's talk to girl Yunduo, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

Zheng Daniu sighed in his heart, it seemed that this was the only way to go, so he followed Liu Donglin to Su's house in dismay.

"Uncle Big Niu has raised fish, right?" Su Yunduo asked straight to the point when the host and guest sat down.

Although Zheng Daniu was concerned, he was sincere: "I wonder if Miss Su has heard of Rhino Village?"

Su Yunduo has not only heard of it, but also has done business with Rhinoceros Village.

Rhinoceros Village is Su Yunduo's largest fish supplier for fish floss, and it is also the largest fish farming base in Xiushui County.

"Almost every household in our rhinoceros village has fish ponds, and everyone knows how to raise fish. But I, I only learned how to raise fish in the past few years. I can only say that I know how to raise fish, but I can't be regarded as an expert." Zheng Daniu is not a very talkative person. , but he is a sincere person, the last sentence made Su Yunduo look at him more.

People who want to work in the Su family, regardless of long-term or short-term work, who do not blow themselves into a flower, there are really not many like Zheng Daniu.

Su Yunduo nodded lightly but didn't answer, just looked at Zheng Daniu silently, apparently to let Zheng Daniu speak out what he wanted.

"I heard that Ms. Su's family is looking for someone who can raise fish. I came here just to ask Ms. Su if your family is willing to use me?" Zheng Daniu was silent for a moment, and finally expressed his wish, and he was worthy of getting up early This trip.

Su Yunduo looked at Zheng Daniu and said lightly: "My family does need to recruit some people who can raise fish, but they have to live here. I wonder if Uncle Daniel's family can live without you?"

Zheng Daniu's face changed slightly, obviously Su Yunduo knew about his family's situation, he gritted his teeth and told Su Yunduo thoroughly: "My family died because of my father's illness, it can be regarded as falling directly into the dust from mid-air, and now it is even more desolate There is not even a roof tile.

My personal wish is to sell myself to the Su family, hoping to give my mother and daughter a shelter from the wind and rain. "

Zheng Daniu said it frankly, but Su Yunduo frowned slightly, and said after a while: "Does the old mother know your plan? You have to know that once you sell yourself to me, you will no longer be able to take care of the old mother and daughter at home. If you are a long-term worker, including Food and lodging, one tael per month, and you can still go home for one day every month."

Zheng Daniu hugged his hair and let out a laugh that was worse than crying: "There is no home anymore!"

Su Yunduo looked at Liu Donglin, and Liu Donglin smiled wryly, and introduced the latest situation of Zheng Daniu's family to Su Yunduo.

You even sold your ancestral house to see a doctor for your old lady?What a filial son!
"How old is your daughter?" Su Yunduo asked after a long silence.

"It should be nine years old." Seeing Zheng Daniu holding his head and sinking into sadness, Liu Donglin replied instead: "His old lady is weak, and the housework is basically done by the little girl."

Most of the nine-year-old girls in the country are not so delicate, and most of the housework can be done well, so it can be arranged.

There are too many long-term workers hired, Wu's in the kitchen can't do it alone, if there is a girl from the Zheng family to help, it's a way to have both.

Zheng Daniu probably saw what Su Yunduo was thinking and opened his mouth and said: "My mother is too weak, she can't leave people around, I'm afraid Qian'er can't come out to work."

Su Yunduo glanced at Zheng Daniu, it seems that this is not only a filial son, but also a person who loves his daughter.

After pondering for a moment, Su Yunduo said: "I really don't intend to buy slaves. If you really want to come to my house to work, I can arrange two rooms for you, so that you can live in one with your mother and daughter. This house is not suitable for you. You can’t live for free, and you can’t eat for free, your daughter has to go to the kitchen to help every day, and there is no monthly payment.”

Su Yunduo first blocked Zheng Daniu's way of selling himself, and then revealed her plan.

Although Zheng Daniu said that he has not been raising fish for a long time, as Zheng Daniu said, every family has a fish pond and everyone knows how to raise fish, but it is really because of this that the people in Rhino Village almost never leave Rhino Village.

In order to save his mother's life, Zheng Daniu sold the only fish pond and ancestral house in his family. Staying in Rhino Village will only make his mother sad. Zheng Daniu himself feels ashamed, so he has the idea of ​​selling himself.

People who can farm are easy to find, but there are not many people who can raise fish. This is why Su Yunduo is willing to take over Zheng Daniu, who not only has a heavy burden, but also seems to be a half-water fish farmer.

The fish farming supervisor sent by Lu Jinkang is said to have raised fish in the Zhuangzi of Zhenguo Gongfu for several years, but he is an expert at growing lotus roots. He may not be as good at raising fish as Zheng Daniu.

In this way, Zheng Daniu can be regarded as a talent, and the introduction of talents must help the talents to solve his worries. Su Yunduo felt that what he did was a budding of the introduction of talents in his previous life, and he was secretly happy for a while in his heart.
