The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 286 Selling Yourself into a Slave

Chapter 286

Liu Donglin looked at Su Yunduo's eyes, but there was something more in his eyes. When Su Yunduo arranged for Mrs. Wu to cook for the long-term worker, Liu Donglin felt that Su Yunduo was soft-hearted. Now it seems that Su Yunduo has a bodhisattva heart.

If Su Yunduo knew that Liu Donglin thought of her like this, he wondered if she would feel shy.

Zheng Daniu was overjoyed when he heard Su Yunduo's words.

If the Su family really asked him to take his wife and daughter with him for food and housing, he would still have a monthly payment. Even if his daughter didn't have a monthly payment, it would be much better than selling himself.

If it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't live on, who would want to be a good citizen instead of being a lowly slave.

Previously, he only considered that he would not be able to take care of his mother and daughter as a long-term worker for the Su family, so he thought of selling himself to get some accompanying money for his mother and daughter.

"Thank you Miss Su, I, I am happy!" Zheng Daniu knelt down in front of Su Yunduo with a plop, which surprised Su Yunduo.

After understanding Zheng Daniu's meaning, Su Yunduo hurriedly asked him to get up, and then under the witness of Liu Donglin, the two parties signed a five-year long-term contract, which naturally included clauses about Zheng Xiaoqian and Zheng's mother.

Zheng Daniu signed a long-term contract with the Su family, hurried back to pack his clothes and bedding, and brought his wife and daughter to Geshan Village the next day.

Su Yunduo asked Zisu and Wu to tidy up two adjacent rooms for Zheng Daniu's family to live in.

Zheng Daniu's old mother lived a lot of good life with Zheng Daniu's father. The house that Su's family placed for them is naturally far inferior to the home before Zheng's defeat, but compared to the life after Zheng's father passed away. But it was too strong, so he put down the clothes and bedding and hurriedly urged Zheng Daniu to bring their grandparents and grandchildren over to kowtow to Ning and Su Yunduo.

Not to mention that Ning, who has always been soft-hearted, could not accept their heads, and Su Yunduo would not let them kneel down and kowtow, but only let Zisu sit down beside Zheng Da Niang, and she herself called Zheng Xiaoqian to the front and carefully Asked what she would do.

Knowing that she is good at laundry and kitchen work, let her rest for two days, wait for the house to be tidied up and get familiar with the environment of Geshan Village, and then go to Mrs. Wu from Changgong's kitchen and ask her to help Mrs. Wu .

Aunt Zheng also wanted to help in the kitchen, but Su Yunduo shook her head: "Madam is weak, it's better to take care of her body first, if you think sitting in the room is boring, you can come here to talk to my mother."

Aunt Zheng was very nervous at first, but after spending some time with her, she realized that her family had really met a nobleman, who not only had food and shelter, but also a monthly silver payment of one or two taels of silver.

Although this money is not too much, but since I have food and shelter, I really don't have much to spend. As long as I pay more attention to spending, I can't save more than ten taels a year, and seven or eight taels is always fine.

Calculated in this way, at the end of the five-year long-term contract, how can I save three to forty taels, which is enough to redeem the ancestral house and fish pond for sale.

Since the arrival of people from the capital, the meals of long-term and short-term workers are all in the kitchen of the long-term workshop.

Wu knew that she couldn't compare with Wei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so when Su Yunduo arranged the meals for the short-term workers in the kitchen of the long-term workshop, Wu was very uneasy for a while.

Later, seeing that Wei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to work in the kitchen of the long workshop, they did not isolate her, and did not avoid her in everything, so they slowly calmed down.

Unexpectedly, it had only been stable for a few days, when suddenly Zisu came over and told her that she was going to give her another helper, Wu's heart suddenly jumped again.

It wasn't until I asked my son Liu Jialin that the Su family wanted to hire a few more long-term workers, and one of the long-term workers brought his mother and daughter with him, and Wu's family became anxious again.

Seeing that one of the Zheng family's two daughters was old and weak and the other was young, as Zisu said, Su Yunduo had no intention of dismissing her, Wu's uneasy heart was relieved again, and she worked harder than before. more dedicated.

Although Zheng Xiaoqian is not yet ten years old, she is a well-behaved and diligent little girl. The most important thing is that she has a sweet mouth. Originally, Su Yunduo asked her to rest for two days, but she went to the kitchen after returning to the workshop. One day, the Wei family's mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the Wu family were coaxed into smiles.

In addition to Zheng Daniu, Liu Donglin helped Su Yunduo introduce a few more people. Su Yunduo selected four of them according to the needs and the actual situation of the visitors, and also signed a five-year long-term contract.

During the period, Zhang Pingan approached Su Yunduo twice more, but Su Yunduo still did not agree, but rumors slowly spread in the village that Zhang Pingan sold himself to the Su family as a slave.

Geshan Village is just as big as a palm, so such rumors cannot be hidden from Su Yunduo, so she just laughed it off and ignored it.

Su Yunduo ignored it, but the Zhang family came directly to the door.

This time there were five people from the Zhang family, apart from the two couples, there was also Zhang Pingzheng who was having a good time.

Except for Zhang Pingzheng, the five members of the Zhang family were all aggressive. Su Yunduo was worried that he would scare Su Zerui, so he wanted to ask Ning to take Su Zerui to Shenquan Villa to talk to Mrs. Kong.

This time the Ning family didn't agree, anyone could see that the Zhang family came here in such a state that they were not kind.

She is a mother, so she can't always hide behind her daughter, even if she can't rush forward to shield her from the wind and rain, she still has to stand by her side to support her, so she stuffed Su Zerui into Zisu's arms Said: "You take Brother Rui to play outside."

Zisu hugged Su Zerui tightly, and looked at Su Yunduo with some embarrassment. Su Yunduo glanced at Ning Shi, seeing her firm face, thinking that it would be better for Ning Shi to stay and see, so he motioned Zisu to take Su Zerui away.

Su Zerui is still too young, and the Zhang family is used to being noisy, so we can't scare him.

Zi Su hugged Su Zerui out of the Su family's courtyard, stood in front of the courtyard and thought for a while, but did not go to Shenquan Villa, but went to Changgongfang.

Su Yunduo didn't bring people into the house, but pulled Ning Shi to sit down with him at the stone table in the yard, and pointed to the stone bench opposite the stone table to let Zhang's family take care of themselves.

The Zhang family should have discussed it before they came. Although the group seemed aggressive, they could still hold their breath.

After the whole family found a place to sit down, the old man of the Zhang family was the first to speak: "I heard that my family has sold itself to your family safely?"

Su Yunduo looked at the old man of the Zhang family in surprise: "I remember that my family only signed a long-term contract with Zhang Ping'an, when did we buy him?"

Ning's face was even more confused: "Except for those servants sent from Beijing, our family has never bought anyone."

The Zhang family believed that Zhang Ping'an had sold himself, but Su's mother and daughter pretended to be stupid, so they were very angry.

A group of folks who followed Zhang's family outside to watch, naturally some people thought that Ning and Su Yunduo were playing a show, and some people even commented in private that the Su family's life was better, and it became a bit rich and unkind, and even bought the folks in the village as slaves.

Of course, if someone tramples on the Su family, there are others who will protect the Su family. After all, the benefits that the Su family has brought to the villagers this year cannot be erased by anyone.

Chattering outside the yard, and the Zhang family's voices questioning in the yard, Su Yunduo responded calmly, thinking about what the Zhang family and his group were planning.
