Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1242 Why spend 500 taels on me?

Although the identity of the Lu family has not been disclosed to the outside world, today all the big shots in Changzhou are here. In addition to the county magistrate Mr. Lu, there are other officials bringing their family members to support them. Even the prefect’s wife brought a group of people to the store to look at the goods and enjoy their selections. Several things.

Everyone's impression of the Lu family has been raised to a higher level. Although they don't know who they are, they must not be simple and cannot be easily offended.

Of course, there are all kinds of people in this world, some who are in awe, and some who don’t believe in evil and want to challenge it.

On the afternoon of the first day of business, there was an incident in front of the Jiayuange branch.

A woman was chased and beaten by a group of men. She fell heavily to the ground when she arrived at the door of Jiayuan Pavilion. Several men gathered around her and tried to take her away, but the woman used all her strength to stumble into the store.

At this time, the store was full of joy. Jiang Jiuniang, a pregnant woman, came to join in the fun. She was in a good mood to introduce this year's new products to the ladies. On the first day of opening, the business was much better than she expected. As long as the products are good enough, she is not afraid of not having repeat customers. She was grinning from ear to ear.

At this moment, the disheveled woman rushed in front of her and knelt down at her feet.

"Ma'am, please help me, have mercy on me, please save me!"

As she spoke, she kept kowtowing. The floor made a loud bang as she knelt down, and her forehead soon became bruised.

Jiang Jiuniang frowned, took a step back, and ignored the woman. Instead, she looked at the group of men chasing after her.

"What are you guys doing?"

Ever since she met Lu Baichuan, she didn't have to hide her abilities like before and slap anyone who was unhappy. It had been a long time since such a person dared to come and cause trouble in front of her.

Realizing what she wanted to do, Mrs. Sun hurriedly stepped in front of her and reminded her in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, there is still one in your belly!"

As she said that, she faced the men and said: "We are opening today. It doesn't look good if you guys make trouble like that. I don't care what grudges you have between you. Don't make trouble in my store, otherwise I won't be able to forgive you." you."

Seeing that Mr. Sun wanted to protect her, the woman hurriedly climbed two steps to hug Mr. Sun's thigh.

"Old madam, please save me. They want to sell me to a brothel, but I don't want to go! Please give me a chance. I'm willing to work as a slave for you!"

When the men heard this, they immediately laughed, pretending to be talkative, and said, "If you are willing to buy her, she will be sold anywhere. The fixed price is 500 taels, no matter how much you lose."

"Duo Shao?"

Mrs. Sun thought she had heard wrong. After all, prices in Changzhou were not high. Some families sold their children for only five or six taels of silver at most. This group of people asked for 500 taels of silver. Is this woman made of gold?

The leading man smiled confidently: "What? Would a wealthy family like you still be reluctant to part with a mere 500 taels? With so many shops on the street opening at the same time, I must have made at least 6000 taels or 500 taels that day. [-] taels for a person is not too expensive. .”

Mrs. Sun's face suddenly darkened, knowing that these people were coming to their home. "Ah……"

Jiang Jiuniang, who was behind, sneered, looked down at the miserable woman on the ground, and said ruthlessly: "Okay, stop acting. If you can't cry, stop crying. I feel bad for you."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to pull Mrs. Sun to her side, and said in a voice that could be heard by everyone around her: "Ms. Sun, not everyone is worthy of our rescue. This woman has a clear goal, and she came after me. Kneel down, I even know your identity, obviously you have done enough homework to investigate our family clearly, otherwise how could you be so accurate?"

"You are really scheming. You want to use our sympathy to spend a lot of money to buy someone, let this person sneak into our shop, and get you some good things from time to time, and even get a lot of money every month. Wage, don’t you find it exciting just to think about it?”

"The idea is a good idea, but your acting skills are not good. If I want to blame you, it's your lack of ability."

She clapped her hands, and two people immediately came forward and tied up the group of people in a few seconds, preparing to drag them directly to the Yamen.

For the sake of the Lu family, Magistrate Lu will definitely entertain these people well.

The woman didn't expect that she would also be tied up, so she panicked for a moment and started talking nonsense.

"Don't you keep saying that you want to find a way for women to make a living? Aren't you recruiting female workers? I'm in such a miserable state, so what if you help me? You have so much money, why spend 500 taels on me?"

"Liars, you are all liars! Hahaha, look, everyone, these rich people are all sanctimonious hypocrites. They say one thing, but actually do another, and the money they make is not the money of us ordinary people, black people You darlings will be struck by lightning from the sky!"

Many people were led astray by what she said. They felt that the Lu family was really cruel. They didn't do anything, but they bullied others and tied them up and sent them to the government. What a big deal.

So, someone stood up to help and said: "This is not a big deal, so you don't need to treat her like this, right? I look at that woman, she is really pitiful. Why is the wife of this rich family so cruel?"

Jiang Jiuniang glanced at him lightly and said: "You can do it, you can buy her for 500 taels, and she will give birth to a monkey when you bring her home. She can also wash and cook for you."

The man's face turned red with anger: "You, you, what are you talking nonsense! Who is a good man who spends 500 taels to marry a wife..."

At this point, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly shut up. Jiang Jiuniang caught his words and laughed at him.

"Look, you are not willing to buy her home as a wife, so why should we spend 500 taels to buy her to work in the shop? There are so many girls who want to work in my shop, and I need her. One? Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. It’s none of your business, so just stop talking so as not to annoy others.”

Jiang Jiuniang said, looking at the people around her, her words were sharp: "We are open for business, and naturally welcome any customer to come in and choose products, but if you want to cause trouble in my shop, please think twice. After all, the consequences are not something you can bear. . In addition, when we opened these shops, we never thought about making money from ordinary people. Don’t talk about those dirty words whenever you open or shut up. Forget it is the first time today. From now on, I will teach anyone I hear a lesson. If you don’t agree, feel free to argue. "

Having said this, Jiang Jiuniang felt that she could retire after her success, and was about to take Mrs. Sun back when she saw a familiar face squeeze out of the crowd, and then began to disperse the crowd regardless.

"Go, go, don't stop us from opening the door for business. If you don't have money, you still come to join in the fun. It's really unlucky!"
