Chapter 4592 Buying is also saving

Seeing the other party leave his shop with some entanglement, Afeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Afeng seems indifferent, he is actually quite sober.

His identity, status, and job do not allow him to get married now. After all, the more people know about his situation, the more danger there is.

Zhang Tianhao once asked him to choose a woman: a pretty one, an ordinary one, one with good ability, and one who trains very hard, but he didn't choose any of them.

The reason is here.

He didn't know what his neighbor was thinking, but he didn't want to take the risk.

And such situations happen every day, especially recently, rural areas are often visited by Japanese, and life has become more difficult for countless people.

Afeng also knew that this was why there were so many people in the Subei Group Army area.

Otherwise, given the current situation, how could northern Jiangsu recruit tens of thousands of soldiers at one time? As long as they are trained, they can become famous warriors.

"Oh, right? We can ask the young master to recruit some more people, bring all these girls here, and give them a reason to live. That might be a good idea."

After all, when Zhang Tianhao had a factory before, he began to recruit a large number of female workers. If he could recruit them this time, it would be feasible.

"Maybe I can really discuss this with the young master!"

When he thought of this, a serious look flashed in his eyes.

……

At noon, Zhang Tianhao sat at the dining table, picked up a bowl, and started eating with the girls.

"By the way, Master, do you think that the number of our sisters is a little too small? There are only about 40 of us now, and the others have already married. Do you want to recruit another group?"

At this time, Yang Erniu next to him looked at Zhang Tianhao carefully and asked uncertainly.

When Yang Erniu asked this question, the other women were also stunned, and immediately looked over with puzzled expressions.

Everyone's eyes were full of confusion. After all, Zhang Tianhao was alone, so why did Yang Erniu make such a suggestion?

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant became a little weird. No one spoke, and some even started holding their chopsticks, their eyes fixed on Zhang Tianhao and Yang Erniu.

"Erniu, what are you talking about? You know my situation. I'm already overwhelmed by the thought of someone like this!"

"Yes, Erniu, what do you think? Why do you have such a suggestion?"

"No, Erniu, you are not that kind of person. I think you have some difficulties. Tell us carefully. If I can help you, I will definitely help you."

"Erniu, we are all sisters. We will probably follow the young master for the rest of our lives. Just tell us what you want to do, okay?"

Yang Erniu also felt a little embarrassed, after all, she knew her own situation.

"Master, and all the sisters, things are not what you think. I have no choice. My little sister and many sisters in the village cannot be supported by their families. Many people have thought about selling their daughters."

"You also know how hard life is in the countryside. Not only is it hard, but the Japanese may raid the countryside at any time, and many girls may be discovered by the Japanese at any time."

"Even my little sister is already seventeen years old. It seems difficult to hide it. I think these girls might be sold in the countryside. It's better for the young master to buy them. At least they don't have to worry about food. Although life is a bit hard, at least it's safe."

"Although we have a lot of manpower, 138 people, most of them are married. The young master may need manpower at any time. I think if we rescue these girls, we can provide some manpower for the young master."

"Besides, these girls can sell themselves for very little money, especially those from the countryside. I was sold for only four dollars, four dollars!"

When Yang Erniu thought of this, her heart tightened. Now, let alone four dollars, even four hundred dollars, as long as she wanted, Zhang Tianhao could also take it out and was willing to spend it on them.

As for that group of girls, less than 20% were bought from the city, and the rest were almost all bought from the countryside. If Zhang Tianhao had not bought them, what would have been their fate? Everyone knows it.

The better ones may marry an ordinary person, but they are only a minority.

As soon as Yang Erniu finished speaking, the restaurant fell silent. Everyone even looked at Yang Erniu with helplessness and wry smiles on their faces.

Although everyone has their own ideas and a selfish side, when facing girls with almost the same fate as them, they all lower their heads and dare not speak.

There was even a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Master, do you think this is okay? If it is, we will help people select some good-looking girls and bring them back. If you don't need them, I will just pretend I didn't say anything."

Yang Erniu on the side also knew that Zhang Tianhao still needed to make the decision on this matter.

Without Zhang Tianhao's word, they didn't dare to make a decision in private.

Zhang Tianhao also frowned slightly. He had known about this situation for a long time, especially in the 40s, when the situation was most serious.

But the situation now is not much better than it was 40 years ago, and in some places the situation is even worse.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Tianhao thought about it for a moment, then asked seriously.

"Master, I think we should save them too. After all, they are really suffering. My sister Yang Sanniu is only 16 years old, but she looks like a bamboo pole. I went back a few times and secretly looked at her. Alas!"

When Yang Erniu thought about her family's situation, her face was filled with bitterness, and there were even tears in her eyes.

"Master, I also think we can save some of them. If they are bought by people in the city and made into maids, that's fine, but the worst thing is that they are sold to a brothel. That would be completely ruined."

"Well, there was a girl from my village who was sold to a brothel in Shanghai. I heard she died the following year. As for how she died, no one can say."

"Master, you can buy some!"

"Yeah, I think I could buy some too!"

"Luo Ye, what do you think?"

"Master, buy it. It's not easy for the sisters. We will save as many as we can. We have done our best. Besides, buying is saving, really!"

Zhang Tianhao looked at the women, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"How about this, in the next few days, I will buy a few yards, right here on our side, and then I will dig some basements, and then each of you will lead a group for training, at least to ensure that when these girls come, they have a certain level of combat effectiveness and can be put into use at any time."

"As for how much money you want and how many people you want to buy, you decide. In the evening, when you have discussed it, tell me. As for buying houses, you captains can discuss how many houses you want to buy based on the number of people you want to buy, and then come to me to get the money."

"it is good!"

Luo Ye also responded, then lowered his head to eat with the others, but the atmosphere was still a little subtle.

Zhang Tianhao didn't say anything more. This was all for his own good.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Tianhao finished his meal and walked outside alone. After all, he also had to think about preparing the basement, as well as the materials and area needed to build the basement.
