Beloved Concubine

Chapter 27 Unmeasured
Chen Xiao finished eating the noodles in two or three strokes.Hearing that they want to see the deed of sale, go back to the house to get it.

Several people entered the store and sat down. Chunhong introduced to Fang Yu:

"This is my mother and my father. This is Lizheng Wu Fourth Uncle of our village. This is Baozhu."

Xiao Shitou had met Wu Baozhu before, so he didn't like this girl very much.

Chen Xiao fetched the deed of prostitution, and Fourth Uncle Wu opened it to have a look.

There were not many literate people in their village, but he was the only one who could read a lot and had some prestige in the village, so he became Li Zheng.

After reading it, he said: "This deed of sale is too many to count."

Fang Yu said coldly: "Why can't you count?"

"Her parents are still there, she has no right to decide whether to sell her body or not. Second, there is no official seal on this contract of sale."

The deed of sale is not written casually, except that both parties are voluntary, and a third-party witness is required.Strictly speaking, you have to go to the village or the government to file for the record.

Otherwise, just kidnap someone casually and force her to write down a contract of sale, and it will become someone else's private property from then on, that's fine!

In this deed of sale, Xiao Shitou is a third-party witness.If you don't mess around, that's fine.However, Fourth Uncle Wu obviously wanted to challenge, so he pointed out that there was no official seal.

Fang Yu said: "Without a seal, you can't count? You decided this king's law?"

Fourth Uncle Wu said calmly: "Her parents are still here, and her parents don't know about her prostitution. Without the consent of her parents, this deed of prostitution cannot be counted."

Fang Yu looked at Chunhong's parents and asked, "Then do you agree now?"

The Hu family's parents were embarrassed and embarrassed.

Chunhong hurriedly said: "Father, mother, I almost died in the mountains, but my boss saved me. He fed me, clothed me, and took me to the county seat."

"Look, the clothes I'm wearing, how could I wear such good clothes before. Now I have two sets of this kind of clothes."

"Also, I can eat meat every day now!"

"Father, mother, I am willing to sell myself, so please agree!"

The Hu family's parents saw that their daughter looked good and was well dressed.Want to agree, but afraid of the Ruan family.

Hu's father hesitated for a moment, and asked his daughter, "How much money did you sell yourself for?"

He wanted to use his daughter's selling money to repay the Ruan family's 20 taels.

Chunhong said: "My master saved my life, this great kindness cannot be measured in silver. Before Baozhu said that the Ruan family wanted you to pay 20 taels of silver, now I will borrow 20 taels of silver from my master, and you will pay Ruan Home."

Chen Xiao and Fang Yu discussed before, how much money should be written in the deed of sale.After much deliberation, I think it is better not to write specific numbers.

According to Xiao Shitou, buying a girl usually costs 50 taels or 80 taels, depending on what kind of girl she is.

If you write less, in case they are redeemed by them; if you write too much, it will seem unreasonable.

Chunhong knelt down to Chen Xiao, pretending that it was very difficult to borrow money, and kowtowed:
"Boss, please lend me 20 taels of silver. From now on, I will work hard and repay it in my whole life!"

Wu Baozhu interrupted suddenly: "Shouldn't you sell yourself for money? How much money did you sell?"

Little Shitou glanced at her: "None of your business!"

"Why is it none of my business? I'm seeking justice for her. You didn't give her any money, did you?"

"Saving a life, how much do you think it's worth?"

"Buy a girl for 50 taels, which is about the same amount as saving a life."

"Then I bought you for 50 taels, and then I beat you to death, what do you think?" Xiao Shitou hated Wu Baozhu.

"Hey! How do you talk!"

"What am I talking about? Can saving a life be measured in silver!"

The two started to choke, but Fourth Uncle Wu stopped him: "Stop talking!"

He said to Ruan's father: "Look, why don't you just take the money?"

Although the Ruan family were relatives of the Wu family, they made a fuss so that one of the Hu family's father and mother would hit a stone and the other would hang himself.

Uncle Wu is Li Zheng, he can't be too partial to the Ruan family, otherwise how other villagers will treat him.

The Ruan family's father said: "Our two families have been married before, and she is already our family's daughter-in-law!"

He wanted to say that Chunhong had no right to sell herself, but her parents were here, and they didn't even open their mouths to disagree.

Chun Hongniang said: "The betrothal gift has been withdrawn, and the marriage is no longer counted."

This weak woman saw that her daughter's boss was helping her daughter, so she dared to speak.

When Chunhong escaped, they searched for a long time but failed to find her, thinking that she might have died in the mountains.

The married daughter is gone, and the Ruan family asks the Hu family to bring their youngest daughter back.Chunhong's younger sister is only nine years old, how could she marry someone, let alone marry a fool.

At that time, there was a lot of trouble over this, and after mediation by the village, the Hu family returned the dowry to the Ruan family and compensated the Ruan family with 20 taels of silver.

Compared with silver, the Ruan family wanted people more.So he forced the Hu family to take money every day, in fact, he wanted to force them to the point of no choice, and finally paid for it with their youngest daughter.

Chen Xiao said to Chunhong: "Yes, I will go get the money now."

She brought silver and put it on the table.

Ruan's father looked at Yinzi, made some calculations, and said:

"She was already our daughter-in-law, and now we can buy another daughter-in-law, at least 40 taels of silver."

Chen Xiaodao: "Whether your daughter-in-law got it by robbing or buying it is your family's business. Let's just talk about Chunhong."

Ruan's father said with resentment, "She is already our daughter-in-law!"

Fang Yu said from the side: "If your idiot dies, you don't need to marry a wife."

He spoke lightly and nonchalantly, but anyone could tell that he was threatening.

Ruan's father hesitated for a moment, then looked at Fourth Uncle Wu, hoping that he could help to say a few words.

Originally, I invited Fourth Uncle Wu to come today because I wanted him to help bring back the spring red.But unexpectedly, Wu Si didn't seem to help him.

To be honest, Wu Si is still a bit of a helper rather than a relative.Before, he said that the deed of selling his life was not counted, and he was helping the Hu family.But seeing that the two elders didn't disagree, and Chunhong also said that he was willing, he stopped talking about it.

In addition, he knew that Baozhu had benefited from the five hundred Wen from the Ruan family, so he coaxed Chunhong to go to the Ruan family.

Fourth Uncle Wu said: "Take the silver and forget it!"

Ruan's father was a little reconciled, but seeing Fang Yu's threatening expression, he didn't dare to say anything more, and silently picked up the money.

"Wait a minute, write a proof." Chen Xiao said.

After she finished speaking, she went to get a pen and paper.At least write a receipt.

Uncle Wu wrote it himself. One part was Chunhong's IOU for borrowing 20 taels of silver, and the other was written proof that the Ruan family got 20 taels of silver and settled their affairs with the Hu family.

Several people drew and pledged separately, with Wu Si as a witness.

The matter of Chunhong is over.

Ruan's father was annoyed that Wu Si didn't help him, so after finishing writing the papers, he excused that Ruan's Village and Kaoshan Village were not on the same road, and the four of them left first.

Uncle Wu was annoyed: Is this a relative?Something is a relative, everything is not on the way?
Chen Xiao saw that Fourth Uncle Wu was not a bad person like she had imagined before, and said:
"Don't go in a hurry, stay and have a meal."

"No, I won't be able to go back after dark."

Uncle Wu waved his hand and declined.

He's just here to uphold justice, and he's not familiar with the two bosses, Chunhong.

Chen Xiaodao: "I have something to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

Chunhong's parents suddenly became nervous, wondering if they wanted to talk about their daughter.

Chen Xiaodao: "I want to find a piece of land to grow peppers. I wonder if your village can grow them?"
