Chapter 119: Buying People from a Dental Clinic
"Well, Ah Feng heard that a brick kiln in the nearby town has some bricks that were not sold in previous years, which can be used to buy enough bricks to build the house.
This house of ours is quite old, and when Xiaobai gets married in a few years, we will tear down this house and build a new one.”
Lin Xi was envious of this arrangement, "Then you can live in a new house during the Spring Festival this year."
"Don't envy me. When you and Ye Bei get married, if you want to live in a new house, he will build it for you."
After being told so many times, Lin Xi no longer blushed, "Jing would tease me."
"When we build the house, I'll have someone draw up the blueprints, and Brother Ci will give me some advice then."
"it is good."
Jiang Ci did not refuse. The general layout of the house would not change, but some details could be changed to make them live more comfortably.
"When the time comes to build a house, Brother Yun can build a bigger one, so that he won't have to think of ways to expand it when he has more money in the future and feels that the house and yard are too small."
"Then it seems that I will become rich with Brother Ci in the future."
"Okay, I'll help you get rich!"
Jiang Ci thought that he now had so many silver notes in his hands, and the 20 notes of compensation he got from the provincial capital accounted for a very large part of it.
This money can build a luxurious large courtyard.
Now when he heard that Ye Shuyun and the others were going to build a house, he was also moved.
They went to the county town early in the morning and worked all morning. Now it was noon and they had finally finished the pork business.
Fortunately, the good reputation I spread when I negotiated business with people here last time made the negotiations go so smoothly.
Sitting in the restaurant, Jiang Ci ate the noodles in the bowl in big mouthfuls. He had hurriedly eaten two buns on the way here in the morning, so he was already hungry.
Lin Jingsheng couldn't bear to see Jiang Ci wolfing down the food.
"Aci, eat slowly, don't choke."
Jiang Ci responded vaguely, "Yeah."
After finishing the noodles in his mouth, he replied to Lin Jingsheng, "I know, you are not a child anymore, how could you choke?"
He knew his limits. He was hungry, but only for half an hour, not for several days.
Jiang Ci took a sip of iced plum juice and felt refreshed all over.
Even the sweat on my head just now is nothing.
When they arrived, the sun was still shining outside, but then there were a few muffled thunders and it started to rain.
Jiang Ci looked at the crowd on the street and hurriedly ran back.
There is a sense of trance.
He really was here, living in this unknown dynasty for so long! Far away from the era of bright lights and advanced technology.
His friends would be so worried if they found out that he didn't bring it with him.
Especially before he came here, Fang Yun, who was looking for him, would be very anxious if he couldn't find him.
"Aci."
"Yeah." Jiang Ci came back to her senses, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just saw you staring blankly outside and called you."
"Aren't you bored?"
Lin Jingsheng also followed Jiang Ci's gaze and looked at the street outside.
"The sun was so bright this morning, but now it's going to rain. But it looks like the rain won't last long, so let's just stay here for a while."
"Well, it's a rare opportunity to have some free time in this county."
"If the rain stops early, we can go to the human trafficking gang to buy some more people. If it stops late, we can just go home."
“Buying it in this county?”
"There must be more people selling here. Can you pick and choose what kind you want? It mainly depends on their character."
"Yes, it still depends on a person's character, but I don't know how good he is at judging people?"
"Aci is so lucky, her vision of people must be good, but she still has me."
"Then it's up to you."
It was already a little late for them to come for dinner, and there weren't many people in the restaurant. And now it was raining, so no one came to the restaurant anymore.
After dinner, the two of them sat there, watching the rain outside and chatting.
Half an hour later, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed. Looking at the small puddle of water at the door, there were no traces of raindrops, which meant the rain had stopped.
Jiang Ci went to the door and stretched her hand outside to feel it, there were still some fine raindrops.
Lin Jingsheng also came behind Jiang Ci and said, "Wait a little longer."
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the fine rain stopped and they got on the donkey cart.
Jiang Ci touched the donkey and said, "When I first brought it out, I saw some water droplets on its head. Fortunately, it didn't get wet. Otherwise, what if it got sick?"
"It must be because the shed was too narrow, and the donkey's head got wet from the rain."
As soon as the donkey cart stopped, someone stopped at the door and greeted us warmly.
"Are you buying people or shops?"
"Buy people."
"The two of you please follow me over here, and just call me Yellow Fang Man."
"My name is Lin Jingsheng, and this is my husband."
The Yellowfang man led them straight through the lobby and toward the backyard.
"Mr. Lin, we are the largest dental clinic in the whole county. We guarantee that you will be satisfied. What kind of person do you want?"
"Men do hard work."
"Oh, in this case, everyone wants a man who can do hard work, so the price is a bit high."
They reached the backyard.
"You two wait here, I'll go get someone."
The Yellow Fang Man opened the door and said, "Come out one by one."
People came out of the room one after another.
Those who came out were all men, some were fourteen or fifteen years old, and some were in their forties or fifties.
There were about twenty people coming out, most of them were young and old.
"All our people are here, you two can pick any one you want."
Jiang Ci picked out those who met their requirements and seemed capable of doing the work.
A total of 8 people were selected.
Let them take a step forward.
Jiang Ci frowned as he looked at the people he had picked out, not knowing how to select them.
Jiang Ci returned to Lin Jingsheng and tugged at his sleeve.
The next step is to be handed over to Lin Jingsheng.
Lin Jingsheng: "Tell me your name, how old are you this year, what did you do before? Why were you sold here?"
Lin Jingsheng pointed at the person on the far left and indicated that he should start with him.
The Yellow Fang man glanced at the man and said, "Answer the two masters truthfully to whatever they ask."
The man didn't seem to notice that the Yellowfang was speaking to him.
"My name is Zhang Wenyong, I'm 24 this year. I used to be a tenant farmer at home. My younger brother owed money to the gambling house, so my father sold me to pay off the debt."
"Do you have a wife and children at home?"
"Ah? Oh!" He said this and touched his head embarrassedly.
"No, I haven't got a wife yet. No girl or boy is willing to marry me."
From what he said and his expression, it can be seen that he is not very smart.
"next."
"My original name was Ji Zhongtang. I was 22 years old. I sold myself into slavery four years ago and worked as a cleaning boy in Mr. Yang's house in this county. Mr. Yang's family lost money in business and sold many of their servants."
