Chapter 698 Beating the Mandarin Ducks
The two sides are getting closer and closer.
Li was the first to sense something was wrong, and when she came back she said, "Why do I feel like something is going to happen at the farm?"
This scared Zhou Guo, "What's going to happen?"
Li asked, "Have you ever seen the bald-headed men working in the farm?"
Zhou Guo nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen them. I see them every day. They are very good and hardworking. They are willing to do any hard work. With them, Wu Jiang said, we don't even need to hire temporary workers."
Li was at a loss for words, and said, "I think there's something wrong between the woman on this farm and the bald-headed guy. I think they're going to become a family."
"Ah?!" Zhou Guo was so shocked that he dropped the steamed bun in his hand. "Mom, are you serious? How did you know?"
Wu Ya was washing vegetables by the well and said, "Second Aunt and I went to the farm to help these days. We saw them, you helped me mend clothes and I helped you chop firewood, you helped me fetch water and I helped you cook, they were talking and laughing, and the children in the family were all around them. If an outsider saw them, no one would believe that they were not a family."
Li frowned and said, "What can we do? Why don't you let them go back to the mountains?"
Zhou Guo was almost struck by lightning. Why did these two groups get together?
But on second thought, it seems understandable.
One is a widow who lost her husband and is raising a child alone, and the other is a leftover man in his twenties or thirties who has never married. It is normal for both parties to fall in love with each other as soon as they meet.
But these women are servants on her farm. There is absolutely no way she can release them now because they have too many things in their hands.
Although Lai Zi Tou and others were bandits, they were free men after all. How could they fall in love with the servants on her farm?
The bald-headed man said, "Boss, you already know all about this. Yes, the brothers have fallen in love with several of them. They are all in their thirties, and at this age, they have never tasted the taste of a wife. Why don't you help them get married? You don't know how difficult it is to get a wife these days."
Zhou Guo said: "It's not that I don't want to help them, but they are not suitable."
"Why is it inappropriate? Isn't it best for the man to be unmarried and the woman to be widowed?" Baldhead didn't understand why it was not suitable.
Zhou Guo said: "You have to know that they are servants of my manor. I will never release them in this life. My brothers are all free, and it is not appropriate to find a servant. If they want to get married, they have to sell their indentures. My people will not marry casually."
Baldy touched his head and said, "Well, shall I go ask them?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "Explain the severity of the situation to them clearly."
The bald man was gone for one day and came back the next day.
As soon as he saw Zhou Guo, he said, "Boss, I have explained everything to them clearly. A few people listened to my advice. There were only two people who said they didn't mind their identities and just wanted to be with them. What do you think we should do about this?"
Zhou Guo had a headache. She hadn’t thought enough and really shouldn’t have let them in.
"Just tell them that if they still want to be with them, then they can do the same as them, sign a contract to sell their bodies and sign a death contract. But once the contract is signed, I will never let them go. That means they will be servants of my Zhou family for the rest of their lives, and the children they give birth to will also be servants. Go ask them if they are willing to do that."
The bald man shuddered and said solemnly, "I understand."
This time I went for two days.
The bald-headed man said happily, "Master, they have given up and decided not to be friends with us."
Zhou Guo nodded without asking about the process. She only cared about the result.
The man's side has been settled, but she still has to go to the woman's side. She has been worrying about how to bring it up. As the old saying goes, it is better to tear down a temple than to destroy a marriage. Does she want to be the evil person who breaks up the couple?
I thought it would take a lot of effort to persuade her, but when she arrived, the women who had made eye contact with her came forward to apologize.
"Master, we were blinded by greed and couldn't see the true colors of these men. We thought they were good people, but we didn't expect that all men in the world are the same, not a single good guy!"
Zhou Guo was a little confused, "What happened? What did they do to you?"
One person said, "He is unwilling to sell his body for me, but he even said that selling our bodies is not good. Why is it not good? We have food and clothes, and we can get so much money every month. Our life is so much better than theirs. When they were in the mountains, they could only eat meat once a year during festivals. Now we can't say that we can eat meat every day, but we can still eat meat several times a month. I don't know whose life is not good."
"That's right. We have crabs to eat, goat mushrooms to eat, and a few new clothes every year. Do they have that? Master, I won't get married. What's so good about men? They are far less real than silver and less delicious than meat."
Several women seemed heartbroken and determined not to look for men anymore.
Zhou Guo: “…”
Who could have thought that it could have such an effect.
After thinking for a while, he said, "If you want to find one, you can still find one. When our family business grows bigger in the future, I will personally choose one for you. If you want someone handsome, we can find someone handsome. If you want someone strong, we can find someone strong. If you want someone caring, we can find someone who can care for you."
Several people laughed, "Master, we are already this old, what do we need a handsome man for? We are not virgins anymore, as long as the man can live well, that's enough."
After the people left, Zhou Guo became worried.
The marriage of this group of people in Zhuangzi is also a big problem. There is also Wu Jiang. Wu Jiang, the chief steward, is already in his twenties and it is time for him to get married. There is also Hu Zi, who is about the same age as him and is not young either.
Why didn't she notice it before? This matter needs to be settled quickly, otherwise, if they fall in love with each other, will she still break up the couple?
After thinking about it, she could only ask herself.
The question was very direct, and he said to Wu Jiang: "You are not young anymore, do you have someone you like? If not, I will find a wife for you."
Wu Jiang never expected that she was talking about this. Even though Zhou Guo was the master, she was still a young lady. How could he speak to a young lady? His face turned red and he dared not say a word.
Zhou Guo was very curious when he saw him like this, "Why are you blushing? Yes or no, you are already this old, it's time for you to get married, do you have one? Yes! Who is it???"
The voices were getting louder and louder. How come she didn't know when her chief steward got a girlfriend?
Wu Jiang whispered: "...It's peach blossom."
"Taohua? You like Taohua? Are you attracted to each other?" Zhou Guo knew Taohua. She was a capable girl. She seemed to be about the same age as Zhou Xing this year. She had no parents. She had signed the contract with her two younger brothers and a youngest sister. She sold out her entire family by herself.
