Reborn Nongmen Merchant Concubine

Chapter 241
Mrs. Li was sitting at home waiting, and saw Mengyuan came back alone, let alone Mengxiong didn't see the old man!
"Mengya, what's the matter? Where are your father and grandfather? Didn't you and your father go to the old house, why did you come back alone?"

"Mother, Dad is still at the old house. Grandpa doesn't want to come over. I'll go to rest for a while. In the afternoon, I will go to the town to find Fang Bo and buy a servant to serve the old man."

Mrs. Li was at a loss, what did the father and daughter mean!

Not long after, Mengxiong came back with his head drooping.

"Brother Xiong, how are you? Where's dad? Are you really unwilling to come over?"

Mengxiong shook his head: "Yunniang, Dad said that even if he died, he would stay in the old house. He said he knew his own body, and he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand it when he came to our house, so he lived with us. Can't go back to the old house. So...he doesn't want to come over."

"In this case, we can only buy a servant to take care of the old man according to what my daughter said. Alas... the rest of you, father and daughter, discuss and do it. I will go to rest for a while, and I will know everything. His sister is back, and she woke up early in the morning to look for Mengya, but Lingyu and I were exhausted from coaxing me!"

"It's okay, you go to rest!"

After Mrs. Li went back to the house, Mengxiong sat alone on the stone bench in the yard, seeing that the weather was going to turn cold, if the old man didn't want to come over, how could he not know how cold this old house is after living in it for most of his life?

"Grandma Hua, go and call the girl down, I'll go to town with her."

He wants to go to the street to buy some quilts for the winter and send them to the old house. This Mengda is now like a bachelor who knows how to deal with the wine shop business all day long. There is still time for the children and the elderly at home!

"Cheng Bo, you go to harness the carriage first, the girl and I will go there later."

In the attic, Mengyuan sat in a daze in front of the dressing table, not even noticing Huayu came in.

Hua Yu just wanted to knock on the door, but found that the door was not closed. She walked in lightly, thinking that Meng Yuan was resting, and didn't want someone to sit in front of the dressing table: "Girl, the master asked me to come up and tell you to go down I'm going to town with you, I don't know what's going on!"

Mengyuan heard the voice and looked back to see it was Hua Yu, and sighed after listening to what she said: "Grandma Hua, I'm sorry for your trouble, please go down and tell my father, I will go down in a while."

Flower language: "Girl, don't pay too much attention to the old man's affairs. When you get old, you don't want to leave the place where you have lived all your life. That is the root of our old people. It's nothing. I'll go down first, girl. Hurry up and go down, I think the master seems to be very anxious."

"Well, I see, I'll change clothes and go down in a while!"

After Huayu left, Mengyuan, who heard the birdsong, walked to the window.The land is on a hillside, and the height of the attic is much higher than that of ordinary houses.However, the view is also the best in the whole village.

Looking out of the window from the house, the leaves of the trees are beginning to turn yellow, and it is already late autumn at this time.The temperature in the south does not drop faster than that in the north. If you guessed correctly, the north should have started to wear big cotton jackets at this time.

I don't know how the family's winter clothes are prepared.After tidying up briefly, Meng Yuan took out 500 taels of silver notes from a hidden grid under the dressing table, which was the only family property she had left recently.

Mengxiong waited downstairs for a long time but didn't see his daughter coming down, so he thought about going upstairs to remind her, and then she came down.

"Father, I'm fine, we can go."

Mengxiong: "Hey, okay, I've already let Cheng Bo set up the carriage, and I'll wait for you to get off."

When they got to the gate, Cheng Qiang had already driven the carriage to the gate, and he was standing aside to smooth the horses~!

"Master, girl, please get in the car!"

Meng Yuan was carried into the carriage by her father, and then he jumped up by himself. The father and daughter sat in the carriage, and after looking at each other for a while, Meng Yuan couldn't hold back her voice.

"Father, what are you going to do in such a hurry to ask me to come down to town?"

"Mengya, dad has thought about it, since your grandfather doesn't want to come over, then your dad and I won't force him, but the weather is about to turn cold, the old house is not as warm as ours now, so dad I want to go to the town to prepare a few extra beds of bedding, clothes and shoes for your grandparents, but it will be too late when the weather gets cold!"

Mengyuan thought for a while, indeed, now that winter is getting ready, it is much more cost-effective to buy some things now than after winter.

"Since we have to buy them, let's buy them together! Also, there are a few people from the factory in my fishing village who have also prepared them. I will take them with me when I go to the fishing village tomorrow. A few wives, Needlework shouldn't be bad."

Mengxiong was stunned for a long time, he seemed to be unable to keep up with his daughter's thinking, he also thought about buying bedding and clothes for the winter, why did it have something to do with the family?

Since then, Mengyuan has never made a sound, and Mengxiong didn't dare to disturb his daughter along the way.It's been a while since he parted with his daughter, but as a father, he has blood relatives with her, so he can still feel that there is something in her heart.

Mengyuan asked Cheng Qiang to send her to Fang Cheng's place before taking Mengxiong to the clothing store. After buying clothing suitable for the elderly, she went to buy a lot of cotton, and then went to the cloth store to buy several pieces of cotton. new material.

"Master, we bought so much, shouldn't it be enough? This carriage is almost out of capacity. You bought so much all at once. When you go back, Ma'am should complain about your wasting money!"

Mengxiong only found out today that not only women are talkative creatures, but men are also inferior to women, for example, Cheng Qiang!

After throwing the last dozen of cotton wool onto the carriage, Mengxiong looked at Cheng Qiang and said, "Cheng Qiang, if you buy too much, you can keep it for the next year. You can see it now. The weather this year is a bit weird. If it's cold Wouldn’t it be a waste of time if we come back to buy it when we don’t have anything else, all right, we’ve bought everything, let’s go to the gate of Fangfu and wait for Mengya, we should have already chosen someone by now.”

Fangfu
Mengyuan came to buy people for two days in a row, Fang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry!There are not many people in his house now, except for a few elderly and strong men, they are girls and women.

Now Mengya came to buy a clever boy, and when she bought it back, she still served the old man who was paralyzed in bed. To be honest, young servants are not willing to do such things, but now the family can let Mengyuan choose There are not many of them.

"Girl, I'm not talking about you. You have a lot of people in your family. I know that, but you've been buying people from me every few days. Here, there are only a few men here. Look Can you pick one! The wench is still the same as yesterday's, I guess you won't be able to pick one after you go to see it, plus the one who serves the old man, the wench won't be able to do it either."

"Uncle Fang, I know you are the best. Can you find me a few young, hard-working young men in a short time? The price, let's talk about it. My old man really needs someone to take care of him right now."

Fang Cheng looked at Meng Yuan helplessly and said, "It's not that I won't help you, there's really no way to help!" The second young master sent over suitable candidates for Meng Yuan. If the son knows, is he still good?
Furthermore, although Fang Cheng had never seen Mr. Meng's character, he had heard of it.A person who can even kill his own granddaughter, this girl is so heartless that she wants to buy a servant to take care of her. If she were him, she would just leave her alone if she was cruel.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and he can also see that the girl's coming to buy someone is a temporary decision. It is probably because the old man is unwilling to live in the elder son's house. After all, there are many servants in the dream house. The old man in bed is not a problem.

Mengyuan looked at the few strong men in the yard. These people are only suitable for crawling and rolling in the fields. It is impossible to let them do the delicate work of serving people.

Helpless, Mengyuan had no choice but to go to see her mother-in-law again, she was still in yesterday's class, but when she saw her coming today, she no longer had the contempt she felt yesterday.

Mengyuan didn't care what they were thinking, but just told the old man's current situation.

"I find a woman who does laundry, cooks, cleans the yard, feeds the livestock, and takes care of the old man who is paralyzed in bed. Of course, there is also a child who needs to take care of three meals a day. This kind of work is very common in the countryside. Yes, but it’s another thing for me to buy you back. I will also give you wages, [-] yuan per month, including food and lodging, and two days off a month.

Anyone among you who wants to go with me, stand up, and I will take you back immediately. "

Those women glanced at each other, while those little girls lowered their heads, for fear that Meng Yuan would buy them forcibly.

Whoever the master wants to buy, they who have lost their freedom are not qualified to resist, but they are still asking for their opinions.But when they think of taking care of an old man who is paralyzed in bed, or an old man who has spent his life digging food in the fields, they feel dirty.If the old man was from a rich family in the town, it is estimated that they would not be able to turn to little girls like them.

After Meng Yuan finished speaking, she waited for a while and still didn't see anyone coming out, so she just wanted to turn around and leave...
"Miss, can I increase my wages? I have children, daughters, and an elderly mother-in-law. I looked at the girl and you said that there are rest days every month. It happens that I can go home to see the children when I am resting. I'll take this job, my wife!"

Does she have a choice?It has been more than a month since she came out, and there are quite a few people who come to buy people, but for some reason, she has not been bought, which means that she has no way to make money, and there is no money to raise children. The mother-in-law also needs to raise, and six or seven mouths in the family are waiting to eat!
