Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 147 Buying People, Big Harvest (4)
Seeing that Zhang Xiaocao had been watching for a long time, Le Lin walked over and asked in a low voice, "Miss Zhang is interested? If not, let's look elsewhere!"

Zhang Xiaocao shook her head and said: "You can't see anything just by looking at it this way, so let them come forward one by one and introduce themselves, um, just tell their own affairs, what they will do, what they did before, and ask them clearly , so that we can also watch and choose!"

If possible, she would like to buy all of these people. Anyway, collecting cotton and planting medicinal materials requires people, but bringing so many people back, not to mention that there is no place to live, can't afford food alone!

Hearing this, Le Lin nodded and said, "Then do it like this, the servant will arrange it now!" After that, he explained to Zhou Ming and asked him to arrange these people.

Only then did Zhou Ming learn that it was this unremarkable little brother who bought the people. Surprised, he warmed up to Zhang Xiaocao a lot, and quickly divided these people into three parts according to the elderly, middle-aged and children. In turn, he stepped forward to introduce himself.

The first one to come up was the oldest old man who had escaped from the neighboring state capital. His ancestors had been farming for generations and were good at tending the crops.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaocao waved his hand and told him to stand aside. He neither said yes nor no. The old man was very worried, and Zhou Ming was also very worried. If he could, he really wanted to put the old man directly into the young man's hands , after all, old people are worthless and the hardest thing to sell!

Next, there was a middle-aged man who looked very elegant, but he looked lifeless, as if he had lost the courage to live!
He kept a blank face and didn't speak, but it was Zhou Ming who explained why Zhang Xiaocao knew why he was like this!
This man's name is Shen Nian, and he didn't escape. He used to be a doctor, but because of the sudden death of a patient, the family members of the deceased thought that it was caused by his improper medication, so he was sued in court and locked up in prison for some time. The yamen determined that the deceased died of a sudden emergency, which had nothing to do with him, and was released without charge. But when he returned home, his wife ran away with the child, and his mother also got seriously ill because of worrying about him, so she only had time to see him for the last time. On the one hand, he lost everything almost overnight!
If he hadn't vowed to live a good life before his old lady's bed, he would have followed suit!

He sold himself, not even asking for money, so he just stayed here with Zhou Ming and refused to leave!

Zhang Xiaocao's eyes lit up when she learned that he was a doctor, but after hearing his tragic life experience, she couldn't help feeling sympathetic. If he was willing to go with her, she would be very happy!
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Ming thought she was jealous of Shen Nian's warm filial piety, so he didn't say anything.

After everyone introduced themselves, more than an hour has passed!

Finally, Zhang Xiaocao pointed to the dozen or so elderly people, the more than 20 children under the age of 15, and the dozen or so honest-looking young adults and said to Zhou Ming: "I want these people, you give me the money." calcalute it!"

When Zhou Ming heard it, he was so excited, and the look in his eyes that looked at Zhang Xiaocao made him almost rush to call her mother!

Although it is strange why this young boy's family is relieved that he will come out and buy so many people at once, but he can make money and get rid of these old and young, so why should he be curious about these things!

Zhang Xiaocao was stared at by him with a chill, and quickly turned his head, and walked towards Shen Nian who had been squatting in the corner.

When Shen Nian saw someone approaching, he just glanced at her indifferently, and in the end he looked like he was neither dead nor alive, and he didn't even move his eyes.

Zhang Xiaocao squatted down, looked into his eyes and said, "Will you come with me? I don't want to force you. If you want, you can just nod. If you don't want to, I won't force you, but what I want to say is that I I sincerely ask you to help me do something!"

Shen Nian's eyelids moved, but he didn't say a word, nor nodded.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaocao was not dissatisfied, and sighed: "If I were you, I would make one of two choices, either find a corner where no one is around, give myself a knife, and end my life, or Start again, do what you like to do, try to survive, live well, and live for your loved ones who care about you! Maybe they are no longer alive, but they are in another world, watching you all the time!"

After saying this, seeing that he still didn't respond, and didn't know if he had listened to it, Zhang Xiaocao stood up helplessly, turned around and left!

He said what should be said, and said what should not be said. It is up to him whether he can figure it out and get back together!

Seeing her coming, Zhou Ming smiled brightly: "Mr. Zhang, there are 39 old people and children, five taels of silver each, and 14 middle-aged people, ten taels of silver each. The total is 350 five taels of silver. You can do the math. right?"

Zhang Xiaocao said with a smile: "Boss Zhou is a man I can trust, but..."

When Zhou Ming heard this, he thought she didn't want to buy it again, so he hurriedly said, "I and Le Guanshi are both acquaintances. You are a friend of Le shopkeeper, and of course you are also a friend of Zhou. If there is any problem, let's sit down and discuss it!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaocao nodded secretly. This week, Zhou Ming is indeed good at doing business. No wonder he was able to make this small business bigger, so he didn't be polite to him, and said directly: "Boss Zhou also saw it. Most of the things I bought here are It’s old people and children, it can be said that you have solved a big problem for you, look at the price..."

When Zhou Ming heard it, he knew that she didn't want to buy it, but just wanted to lower the price. He breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said happily: "The price is negotiable, so it's 350 and five taels. I don't want to earn more money from my friends, just 300 taels Make up a whole number, Mr. Zhang will come again next time, the price is negotiable!"

300 taels?Now 55 taels less?
Zhang Xiaocao was a little surprised, she thought it would be nice to lose a dozen or 20 taels!
Le Lin at the side heard it, and laughed and said: "Boss Zhou is getting more and more good at doing business, and even Mr. Zhang's idea is on his mind!"

Zhou Ming didn't feel the slightest embarrassment of being exposed, and said bluntly: "I'm not that mercenary. These people are all poor and unreliable. Mr. Zhang is kind. If you buy these old people and children, you must be able to arrange for them. A good place to go, I, Zhou Ming, am not a good person, but I will definitely not do evil things that harm my morality!"

Zhang Xiaocao was quite shocked after hearing these words, and subconsciously looked at Le Lin.

Le Lin smiled understandingly, and nodded slightly at her with a smile, expressing credibility.

He has dealt with Zhou Ming a lot, and he has some understanding of Zhou Ming's personality. If others say such things, he will weigh them up, but this person, he has never heard anyone speak ill of him. No one who bought Yuefu here has said anything bad about him, and there is a sense of gratitude in his words!

Zhang Xiaocao got a hint from Le Lin, and her impression of Zhou Ming improved a lot. Just like what he said, maybe he is not a good person and can't do good deeds, but in this era when human rights cannot be guaranteed, a little money can help. It's not bad if you don't do the business of the fish and meat people!
