Seeing the refugees walk by, the girls couldn't help but sigh in silence. For a long time, no one spoke.
"How can I see, there are more Dongyang soldiers than before?" Shuhui said.
"You don't know this. The Japanese have just transferred hundreds of people. They say it's like a few squadrons."
"Who are you listening to, it's like that really." Shuhui said.
"It was Xiaoya's cousin who told me this, so I can't go wrong." Li Huiling said.
"He said that the revolutionary army is about to fight northward, and the Japanese increase in troops is also for this." Li Huiling said.
"So you listened to your boyfriend." Mu Xiaowan said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense at all. There are others here." Li Huiling said.
"If you don't talk about it, then what's new for you to talk about?" Shuhui said.
"Zhang Zongchang was defeated and retreated, unable to defeat the revolutionary army." Li Huiling said.
"You said that, the revolutionary army is likely to come over?" Shuzhen asked.
"Well, don't the revolutionary army, you should help me first." Ye Tianlong shouted from the recliner.
Several people turned around, Shuhui said: "What's wrong with you?"
"Uncle Li is taking Chinese medicine, who of you will help me send it to your little brother." Ye Tian said.
"Brother Long, I'll send it to you." Shuhui said.
"I'm going to see Xiaoya too." Li Huiling said.
"I think everyone is going, Xiaolong, are you going?" Mu Xiaowan asked.
"I'm still drinking tea here, just wait for you to come back for dinner." Ye Tianlong said.
After Sister Mu Xiaowan left, Ye Tianlong went back to the house to eat some food and asked Uncle Li to order: "Uncle Li, you and Qiumei have done something for me these days."
"Little dragon, what's the matter?"
"It's you and Qiumei who helped me buy people. This person needs to be more vigorous and literate and hyphenated. You are responsible for giving me some clothes for the girls who bought them. We can't treat them badly when they come. People. The kitchen boiled more water and they came to let them wash it." Ye Tianlong said.
"I remembered." Li Gui nodded and said.
"Uncle Li, call Qiumei, I have something to tell her." Ye Tianlong said.
"I'll call her now." Uncle Li came out of the room in response.
"Master, are you looking for me?" Ouyang Qiumei trot into the house and said.
"I just told Uncle Li that you and Uncle Li will be responsible for buying people." Ye Tianlong said.
"Master, this is too big for me to do?" Ouyang Qiumei said.
"I trust you, you can do it, there is nothing you can't do. I asked these people to make them more capable in the future, medical care, and to show people some common minor illnesses." Ye Tianlong said.
"You didn't buy it to be a concubine and maid." Qiu Mei said.
"What can I do like this?" Ye Tianlong asked.
"I can do it this way, but I can't figure out the price of a person." Ouyang Qiumei said.
"Remember that I will teach you a method. You can ask them to set a price by themselves. If you think it is appropriate, you can add a few more oceans if the conditions are good. These years are not forcing anyone to sell." Ye Tianlong said.
"Then what if I spend too much money?" Ouyang Qiumei asked.
"If you don't have enough money, you are looking for me. You guarantee that the person who buys in can at least be a nurse." Ye Tianlong said.
"I see." Ouyang Qiumei said.
"Xiaolong, it's not good. A group of refugees came outside the store for some reason." Uncle Li ran and said.
"What's wrong, go and take a look." Ye Tianlong said, stood up and walked out with Ouyang Qiumei and Uncle Li.
Walking out of the store door, Ye Tianlong was shocked when he saw it. About sixty people outside the store were roaring around at the store door. Ye Tianlong calmly walked a few steps forward and said, "Everyone, young and old, you are blocking me. This shop, I don’t know where to offend everyone, young and old, we have something to say, and what to say!"
After Ye Tianlong finished speaking, it took a long time for the crowd to calm down, but still no one spoke.
Ye Tianlong watched the crowd calm down, and continued: "Ladies and old gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, let's have something to say, if we have something to say, okay, huh, huh!"
Ouyang Qiumei said: "You all tell me, I also came here yesterday to ask for a livelihood. You are here to ask for a livelihood. Please line up with me one by one. Ladies and gentlemen, uncles and aunts, eldest brothers. Sister, don’t surround yourself, please."
The crowd gradually loosened, and many people who watched the excitement stepped back, leaving not far away, standing and looking here. Ouyang Qiumei said: "If it's a trick, please come here with me, line up and don't mess with us one by one."
Don't tell her that after she said this, a few people really came to the table in front of him and lined up.
Ouyang Qiumei said: "Sisters who are queuing up, once they sell themselves, they will never have a chance to change again. When you think about it, you will queue up. I will check and register for you. If the standard is not enough, our owner won't want it.
I'm telling you about the requirements of important people. Please listen carefully. Our shop recruits maids, who are between 12 and 22 years old. Those who can read and write are preferred. Those who are from Western high school and university or those with excellent conditions are preferred. , The price is favorable. Anyone who thinks about it can come to me to sign up. "
After Ouyang Qiuhui finished speaking, several people in the crowd ran out and looked at the unkempt girl at her table. "You can think about it. Once you register, you can't change it."
The girl said: "I have considered it, so that at least I can give my parents and siblings a bite of food, so that they have a chance to survive."
"Then tell me, can you read and how old are you?" Ouyang Qiu would ask.
"I'm eighteen this year, and I have studied at the teacher's college in the county for two years. If I don't have money at home, I didn't study again."
"The conditions are okay. How much do you want to sell?"
"Ten oceans will do!" He whispered in a voice that only Ouyang Qiumei and the others could hear.
Ouyang Qiumei took a piece of paper and handed it to her: "You write an essay by yourself, and get the money from me when you finish writing it."
After the girl took the paper and pen, she was about to write papers on the table. Ouyang Qiumei hurriedly said, "Take it and write in the house."
The girl nodded gratefully, and Uncle Li looked at it and quickly said: "Girl, come with me." Leading the girl to the store.
Sister Ouyang Qiu walked to Ye Tianlong's side and asked, "Master, can I do this okay?"
Ye Tianlong nodded and said: "Very good, it seems that I don't want to give it to you here."
"Hey, by the way, that girl was not bad just now, I heard it seems to be from a teacher?" Ye Tianlong asked in a low voice.
"Well, he said that after two years of studying at the Normal University, he didn't study again if there was no money at home." Ouyang Qiumei said.
"Well, it's good to give more money like him or her. How much did he want?" Ye Tianlong said.
"He wants ten oceans, can I give her twenty?" Ouyang Qiumei said.
"Yeah, he is in good condition. In the future, like this, you can have no more than fifty." Ye Tianlong said.
"Well, then I will do it."
Ye Tianlong looked at the refugees in the right row and shook his head, "I don't know if what I did was right or wrong?"
