Chapter 14 70 Years of Freedom

Luo Weiwei came to [Pawn Shop No. 9] with a haggard look.

Her parents were inexplicably comatose.

I called in a doctor, but it didn't work.

A wizard was invited to see him, but he still remained unconscious.

But the money for the medical visits still has to be paid.

And the cost is not low.

The Luo family is not rich to begin with. If they were rich, they would not let their daughter show up to sell sewing kits.

Fortunately, Luo's father sold his daughter to get married and received a gift, which could pay for the consultation fee.

But because of the situation of Luo's father and Luo's mother, Luo Weiwei was unable to get married as scheduled.

They didn't care about the coma of Luo's father and Luo's mother, and when they came to Luo Weiwei's house, they were [forced to marry]!

The parents are in a coma and there is only a four or five-year-old girl at home.

Once Luo Weiwei leaves, this family will be destroyed!

In addition, Luo Weiwei also had strong objections to the deal, so she gritted her teeth and said she would not marry.

good!

If you don’t marry, the bride price will be refunded.

A large part of the bride price was used by Luo Weiwei to pay for medical expenses. Where could she get it?

But the other party didn't care about this. If they didn't refund the bride price, they would drag Luo Weiwei's family to meet the officials.

Luo Weiwei was also forced into desperation and borrowed money from everywhere!

But these days, borrowing money is not so easy.

Especially the situation in Luo Weiwei's house, it looks like a bottomless pit, like a meat bun beating a dog, where there is no return.

Even her relatives were not willing to lend it to her. On the contrary, some relatives had already begun to make plans to own the Luo family's few acres of land.

Luo Weiwei was exhausted mentally and physically during this period, and she tried all kinds of methods.

Including - coming to [Pawn Shop No. 9]!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………

"Miss, do you want to pawn something?" Jieyou came over and asked diligently, but Luo Weiwei did not get the treatment of a cup of spiritual tea like Li Banxian.

"Yeah." Luo Weiwei was a little nervous for the first time in such an occasion.

"Please come." Jieyou welcomed him to the high counter.

Wu Siyuan looked away from the [Tian Yuan Sutra] in his hand, glanced at Luo Weiwei, and said politely, "Hello, do you want to pawn it?"

"Yes!" Luo Weiwei mustered up the courage, poured out a pile of sewing kits from the basket she carried, and asked carefully, "How much can these be worth?"

Wu Siyuan took a casual look and saw that it was an ordinary item without any aura.

This was also expected by Wu Siyuan.

Luo Weiwei is just an ordinary girl who can come up with anything valuable to Wu Siyuan.

He was not the kind of person that Shi'er was. He would buy Luo Weiwei's sewing kit from time to time, but he didn't dare to say a word to her.

This kind of kindness is not suitable for a businessman in the heavens.

So Wu Siyuan calmly but cruelly said to Luo Weiwei directly, "Sorry, our store won't accept these things from you!"

As soon as the words came out, Luo Weiwei's face suddenly lost color.

If she wasn't desperate, why would Luo Weiwei come to Wu Siyuan's newly opened pawn shop?

Luo Weiwei looked desperate and asked Wu Siyuan unwillingly, "What can be pawned here? Land deeds? Or paddy fields?"

"We don't accept any of these things in our store!" Wu Siyuan looked condescendingly at this beautiful woman from a small family. He said, "Our store only accepts rare treasures, high-level secrets, or..."

Wu Siyuan paused and said, "Or, your freedom!"

"Selling yourself?" Luo Weiwei was quite smart and reacted immediately.

Wu Siyuan was also direct. He said, "Your freedom in 70 years can be worth 70 taels of silver."

Modern commercial housing only has 70 years of property rights. Wu Siyuan exchanged 70 taels of silver for Luo Weiwei's 70 years of freedom. Wu Siyuan thought it was a premium.

After all, he only spent a few taels to solve problems.

In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog.

Although it has not yet reached the time of troubled times, the lives of the people are not easy either.

During the feudal society, due to low productivity levels, landlords would annex land as the times progressed.

In this era, land is the most important means of production. Without land, many people would live in great hardship.

Therefore, in ancient times, it was very common for many people to sell their children and daughters in order to obtain food and clothing. Once they sold their children to others, they would be slaves for generations, without their own personal freedom, and live a very miserable life. miserable.

In this era, a maid who is too young to do physical work and has no special skills can be bought for about four or five taels of silver.

Because they still need the owner to raise them slowly, the price will be relatively low.

As for a maid who is clever and has a special skill, such as good needlework or good cooking, the price will be a little more expensive, but the most expensive will not exceed 20 taels.

Wu Siyuan's 70 taels are enough to buy four or five Luo Weiwei.

This price far exceeded the betrothal gift given by that family.

If Luo's parents and Luo's mother had known that Luo Weiwei could be sold for 70 taels at Wu Siyuan's place, they would have given Luo Weiwei over for free.

Now Luo Weiwei is caught in the entanglement of the war between heaven and man.

Wu Siyuan gave too much.

70 taels!

Not only can you easily return the bride price, but you can also leave a large portion for your family.

For a long time to come, the family will not have to worry about livelihood issues.

This is really tempting for a relatively filial girl like Luo Weiwei.

But there are two main reasons why she is so confused right now.

One is Shier.

The other is fear and confusion about the unknown future.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "If I sell it to you, what will you let me do?"

In the Ming Dynasty, some wealthy families would first buy some little maids at a low price, then train them to learn some skills, and then sell them at a high price when they grow up to make money from the difference. In this way, they can not only be used by them for many years , and you can also make a lot of money in it.

Of course, Luo Weiwei's age is here, and the cost of 70 taels is too high. It is almost impossible to resell it to make back the cost.

Even if it is sold to a brothel.

Luo Weiwei thinks she is somewhat pretty, but trying to sell it at a high price of 70 taels is just a dream.

It couldn't be that Wu Siyuan also liked the other party, so he was taken advantage of.

In fact, if this is the case, it would be better.

But Luo Weiwei also knew in her heart that this possibility was very low.

That's why she asked Wu Siyuan.

When she asked, she actually had a certain tendency in her mind.

Wu Siyuan saw the complicated emotions in Luo Weiwei's eyes. After thinking about it, he said seriously, "70 taels will buy you 70 years of freedom. During the contract period, you will work for me, mainly in this house." Inside the store.”

"While working, I have food, shelter, and also get paid. The pay will not be high at the beginning, but will gradually increase later."

"Then you don't have to worry about what I will do to you, sell you to a brothel, or whatever. In a word, you are not worth it!"

"Besides, if someone you like wants to ransom you, as long as they can afford the price, I won't stop you."

"How much is that man who often buys sewing kits from you, how much is he willing to pay for you?" Wu Siyuan said meaningfully.

Luo Weiwei blushed. She didn't expect that Wu Siyuan actually knew about this.

At this time, Wu Siyuan said again, "In addition, if you sell your freedom to me, I can also wake up your parents!"

"real?"
