Love letters are not allowed in exorcism notes

Chapter 216 Documents without legal effect

If Mr. Tong dares to quote a thousand dollars, he must be confident.

The price is indeed a bit high, but you can't say there is a problem with the quality of his products.

The little girl brought back by Mr. Tong looks pretty, has fine skin and tender flesh, and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that are watery and full of aura. She is a beauty with great potential.

And before coming out, she dressed up specially and cut her hair short. She looked like a young woman in the new era.

Mr. Tong is good at packaging goods and knew the identity of the customer in advance. He did not dress her up like a maid at the gate of a mansion. Instead, she wore an off-white Western-style dress, which made her look fresh and refreshing, just like a porcelain doll.

There is a clear difference in temperament between those who have read books and those who have not.

Even if they have only received the most basic primary school education, can sit up straight in class, listen attentively and carefully, have studied two texts, and know some truths, there is a huge gap between such children and those who do not even know big characters. The difference.

This child is indeed not meant to be a maid. At this age, color, figure, and temperament, any serious matchmaker would have to cross the threshold.

Not to mention that men can't see it, Li Mumu also liked it very much.

As we all know, once a woman encounters something she likes, she is not very sensitive to price.

Not to mention a thousand dollars, if you are really rich, it is normal to spend thousands on clothes and bags.

"What is your name?"

"Jiang Yinyin."

"how old are you?"

"Twelve years old."

"Read a book?"

"Reading for a year."

"Only a year?"

Seeing the doubtful expression on Li Mumu's face, Mr. Tong quickly explained: "Ms. Li just came back from overseas and doesn't know much about the domestic situation. Before the establishment of the new government, most daughters of ordinary families did not go to school. Opportunity. This child is the first batch of students to enter the school after the establishment of the new government."

Then you kidnapped him and sold him?

As the saying goes, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. This child could have been studying in school, but now he is being dragged here to be traded as a commodity. There must be some hardships behind it that are indescribable to outsiders.

Li Mumu couldn't ask further questions in front of the seller.

"Can you sew?"

"know a little."

"Can you cook?"

"know a little."

"Can you understand English?"

"I can...understand a little bit."

The little girl is indeed very well-behaved and honest. She says whatever she asks. Although she is a little nervous, she is not too stage frightened.

But as Mr. Tong said, it is a whiteboard trumpet that has not been practiced yet. After two more years of training and learning all the skills of serving people, I still can't get a thousand dollars.

Li Mumu asked someone on the street yesterday to inquire about the market.

Before the emperor of the previous dynasty abdicated, a wealthy family could buy a maid that could be commanded, which cost about eighty to one hundred yuan. A slightly colorful one with good conditions in all aspects could be sold for one hundred and fifty. If he is a good boy from a decent family and is not particularly eager to sell his daughter, then if you ask for a price of 200 or 300, it will be very high.

This is the normal price for a maid.

Those technical workers are at another price. Not to mention a thousand dollars, if those dandy boys met a famous actor they liked, they could spend tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Mr. Tong used to be in the business of raising horses, but he dare not say that now. If he spreads the word, he will eat peanuts. What they are doing now is Yangxing, a human resources agency. In foreign words, it is called HR.

It certainly can't be priced based on the market conditions back then, but it won't be much cheaper either.

Li Mumu looked into Jiang Yinyin's eyes and asked softly: "Our sisters have just returned from overseas, and we happen to lack a personal companion to handle housework. Will you come to work at my house?"

Jiang Yinyin cautiously glanced at Mr. Tong next to her and nodded.

"Okay, I think it's okay."

Li Mumu turned around and smiled at Mr. Tong: "We'll talk about other cooks later. I like this kid very much. Let's make a decision first. Sir, tell us a real price and buy it out in one go. Don't joke with us anymore." .”

"Don't dare."

Mr. Tong quickly apologized and said with a smile: "You have said so, so I won't lie to you about the price. The price is four hundred dollars. You can take the child and the contract documents with you."

Four hundred dollars, converted into almost a thousand oceans.

"What kind of contract document?"

"I'm carrying it with me for you to take a look at."

Mr. Tong pulled out a stack of printed documents from his briefcase, and Li Mumu took it and took a look at it. The content on it was also very simple, which was to transfer the civilian daughter __ to ___ free of charge. After confirmation by both parties, there was no objection. So much.

This piece of paper itself has no legal effect, but in this era when the legal system is not yet mature enough, this kind of paper document signed by both parties cannot be said to have no reference value at all when it comes to court.

Although the new government explicitly prohibits human trafficking, the requirements are not strict enough and there are many loopholes that can be exploited. As written in this contract document, there is no money involved, it is just a transfer relationship. Secondly, the public does not know enough about the new policies and regulations. Many people do not know what the new laws are and still believe in the old traditions of the past.

When Qin Xiangdong took office as the chief of the Nantong District Police Station, his first priority was not only to crack down on crime, but also to popularize the law among the people.

It can only be said that you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the implementation of the new law will take time to settle down.

There is nothing wrong with the content in the document, at least it doesn't seem to be.

Li Mumu raised her hand and called the waiter in the coffee shop: "Bring me a lighter."

She took the lighter and lit a corner of the document under Mr. Tong's astonished gaze.

The flames instantly blackened the paper. Li Mumu came closer and sniffed, but there was no smell of sulfur. But it couldn't be said to smell very good. It was mixed with a smell that she couldn't describe.

The amulet hidden in the sleeves trembled slightly.

The smile on Mr. Tong's face seemed a little stiff.

He blew out the fire and tore the document in half in front of his face. Li Mumu didn't look at Mr. Tong's face, opened her wallet and took out a wad of colorful money.

"There's no need for paperwork or anything like that. Just keep this kid. This is a thousand yuan in colorful banknotes. Please count them."

Mr. Tong looked at the coins that Li Mumu pushed over. He originally wanted to say something more, but in the end he swallowed the words back in his stomach. A smile appeared on his face again: "Miss Li is lucky to be able to like this child."

He was about to reach out to get the money, but found that Li Mumu's hand had not been taken back. When he looked up, he saw the meaningful smile on the girl's face.

"Mr. Tong, do you believe in cause and effect?"

"Haha, of course I believe it, so I always insist on doing good deeds."

"That's good."

Li Mumu let go of his hand and picked up the coffee in front of him.

Serving tea to see guests off is an unspoken subtext.

Naturally, Mr. Tong didn't even have this feeling. He had already got the money, and there was no need to continue to entangle with these two little girls who seemed to make him feel inexplicably afraid, so he immediately stood up and left.
