BXBX NOVEL Chapter 153
Chapter 153: Master, I didn’t mean it that way (1)
“Master Tang, I didn’t mean it that way.” Lin Dongguo said, shaking his head. “Do you want to sell yourself to the Tang family like us?” Luo Yiwu, who was standing at the side, asked casually. “Yes ... Yes, yes, that’s it. I heard that if you are a scholar, because a scholar has a high position, you will get more money by selling your body. Moreover, my mother and wife died of illness last year, and I owe a huge debt. The remaining two children, a boy and a girl, were already fifteen or sixteen years old and could do some work. I heard that Master Tang can buy the whole family. ” Lin Dongguo said. “If you are willing to sell yourself to the Tang family, because you are a scholar, you have knowledge and accounting. I can arrange for you to live in an accountant’s house or to teach in sumei school. You’ll be paid fifty taels of silver for selling your body, and your monthly allowance will be three taels of silver. Your mother should be able to do some needlework and sell herself for 30 taels of silver. Your two children are already 15 or 16 years old and can enter the school to study. If they knew martial arts, they could join the guards or guard team, and they could also do some work. The two of them sold themselves for 40 taels each. If you agree, you can sign the contract now. ” Tang Wen said. “Master, I owe the outside three hundred taels of silver. My entire family sold themselves for a total of 160 taels of silver, so I’m still short of 140 taels. Can I put it on credit first and deduct it from my monthly allowance in the future?” Lin Dongguo said. “You’re a loan shark, aren’t you?” Tang Wen said. “That’s right, his wife was seriously ill last year and had to spend a few hundred taels. Lin Xiucai borrowed money from our zhenhuang three noble houses. The interest is too high, ten silver taels a day. The last time he came to collect a debt, scholar Lin couldn’t take it out and was even beaten. Third aunt Huang even threatened to capture scholar Lin’s daughter and sell her to the wafting fragrance brothel if she doesn’t pay her debt. ” A sister – in – Law beside her said. “I’ll send someone to settle your matter with Huang San Qian. How about this, the silver you owe Huang San Qian, I’ll pay it back for you, and the remaining money will be deducted from your monthly allowance. ” Tang Wen said. “Lin Dong, hurry over and thank old master Tang.” Lin Dongguo’s tears flowed as he hurriedly nodded and shouted to the back. The next moment, a young man squeezed out of the crowd and knelt down to kowtow to Tang Wen. It turned out that he had also followed his father here to do short – term work. “Do you have a pen and paper? I’ll write my own Indenture. ” Lin Dongguo said, afraid that Tang Wen would go back on his words. After all, Tang Wen had helped her pay off a hundred taels of silver. Where else could she find such a good owner? “We’ve already printed the slave contract. If you have no objections, just sign it.” Luo Yiwu ran back to the temporary building, and not long after, he took out a few contracts from his briefcase. Because the Tang family often wanted to buy people, Tang Wen made a model contract. After printing N sheets, all he needed to do was to sign and stamp. It was convenient and fast. Lin Dongguo had really blindly believed in Tang Wen, and he was also driven crazy by the debt, so he didn’t even look at it and signed according to Luo Yiwu’s instructions. “Old master Tang, my name is Zhang Hanzi. People say I’m stupid. But I’m very strong, do you want my house?” At this time, a burly young man who was about 1.83 meters in height squeezed out and asked. “You’re very strong, but how much strength can you have?” Li Liao laughed. “He’s a fool with great strength, he only has a bit of strength left. ” Someone laughed. “Please don’t buy him, old master Tang.” “Why?” Tang Wen asked. “It’s because he can eat too much. You see, he has been working with us for the past few days, and he has to eat an iron pot for every meal. If the food needs money, the salary won’t be enough. ” “Doesn’t that mean that he’s eating more than a pig?” “You don’t say. He eats more than my pig.” Hahaha ... Immediately, everyone burst into laughter. “There are metal locks over there. Go and try and see how big they are.” Tang Wen pointed at the iron lock in the corner and said. “Master, do you mean that the bigger I am, the more money I will have to sell myself for?” Han ‘Zi Zhang asked excitedly. “Of course.” Tang Wen nodded. “I’ll go!” Han ‘Zi Zhang suddenly roared and walked over to the iron lock. After looking at it, he ran to the biggest one, squatted down, and picked it up with one hand. However, the iron lock did not move at all. “Hahaha ...” “You’re so silly!” “That metal lock is probably over ten thousand Jin.” …… “Rise!” Han ‘Zi Zhang’s face suddenly turned red. He was so angry that he spat on his palm, rubbed his hands, and roared. He squatted down suddenly, picked up the iron lock, and looked up with a red face. “It’s moving!” “It did move ...” “Ah, I’m up, I’m up.” …… Suddenly, everyone was stunned, because the iron lock was slowly lifted up by Zhang hanhou. Even Li Liao and Luo Yiwu were stunned, including Yan Beitian. “Come, if you can carry it here, I’ll give you a thousand silver taels to sell yourself!” Tang Wen was also quite surprised. He had an idea and pointed at Hanzi Zhang. Zhang hanhou didn’t dare to make a sound, afraid that he would lose his breath. His legs were trembling, and his face was almost red from holding his breath. However, he finally took a step away with difficulty. Not long after, he took a second step, a third step ... Each step was very slow. It took Hanzi Zhang more than ten minutes to cover the distance of 50 meters before he finally reached Tang Wen. “Congratulations, you’ve received a thousand taels!” Tang Wen nodded. “Puu ...” Zhang Hanzi suddenly vomited blood and fell down with the iron lock in his arms. Tang Wen quickly pushed him away. The iron lock was pushed to the side and fell to the ground with a bang, so as not to crush han Zi Zhang flat. “You ... You saved me. I don’t want 1000 taels. Just give me 500 taels.” Han ‘Zi Zhang said as he vomited blood. “Give me the slave contract, and a thousand taels.” Tang Wen said. “I really don’t want that much. You saved me before.” Hanzi Zhang said, struggling. “Have you ever practiced martial arts?” Tang Wen asked. “No, I didn ‘t,” Hanzi Zhang said, shaking his head. “Who else is there at home?” Tang Wen asked. “I’m the only one here, no one else. ” Han ‘Zi Zhang said. “Alright, one thousand taels, including your mother.” Tang Wen said. “No, no, I’ve never practiced martial arts. I only have brute force. I only need five hundred taels. You’ve saved me before. If I don’t repay your kindness, I’d be an animal.” Han ‘Zi Zhang shook his head firmly. “How about this, I’ll give you five hundred taels first, and you can keep the remaining five hundred taels. When the time comes, I’ll arrange a wife for you. What do you think?” Tang Wen said. “But it can’t be too ugly. Otherwise, I don’t want it.” Han ‘Zi Zhang shook his head with a serious look. Hahaha ... “I say, Hanzi Zhang, it’s good enough that you have a wife.” “That’s right. You’re so picky. You should thank old master Tang.” “Don’t worry, I’ll pick a pretty one for me. ” Tang wendu couldn’t help but laugh. “Someone like her will do.” Han ‘Zi Zhang suddenly pointed at Zhan qingmei, who was standing not far away. Everyone was stunned and laughed crazily. Zhan qingmei’s face turned red in embarrassment. She spat at Hanzi angrily and ran away in embarrassment. “I say, Hanzi Zhang, that’s master Zhan’s sister. How dare you think about it?” Li Liao laughed. “Ah ... Hall Master Zhan, I’m only talking about someone like your sister. I don’t dare to marry your sister. I’m too ... Too far for her.” Han ‘Zi Zhang quickly shook his head. “What’s there to be out of reach for? however, Zhan qingmei is indeed very capable and beautiful. She’s currently in charge of the garment workshop. If you want to marry someone like her, you’ll have to work hard. ” Tang Wen encouraged. “I will, I will, I will.” Han ‘Zi Zhang quickly nodded. “From now on, you’ll run errands for me. I’ll take care of your wife.” Tang Wen said. “Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss.” Han ‘Zi Zhang knelt down and kowtowed. “Master, are we still buying people ...” “Yes, of course I want it.”
