A farmer's fierce wife

Chapter 251 Feng Gu (Part [-])
To find a servant, you have to look at your eyes. Nan Feng scanned the inside until he saw a father and daughter beside a tree.

Nanfeng walked up to the girl. The girl was about 13 years old, wearing a baggy dress full of patches, but the clothes were washed very clean, so Nanfeng had a good impression of her.

The girl's eyes were big, but her eyes were timid. Seeing Nanfeng following her, she shrank back.

"What's your name?" Nanfeng knelt down and asked her.

The girl's voice was very low: "Feng...Gu Feng."

Next to her, Feng Gu's father looked very cautious: "Girl, I have agreed in advance that if you are a mother who came out of a brothel, I will not hand over my daughter to you. My daughter will not sell herself."

Nanfeng doesn't like parents who abandon their children because she was an orphan in her previous life.

So Nanfeng asked the father unhappily: "You clearly know that after your daughter is sold, you won't be able to control what she will do in the future, but why did you sell her?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask, the father immediately burst into tears: "There is no way, her brother has already reached the age of marriage, but the woman's bride price is high, if we don't come out, her brother will not be able to marry a wife. Our old Wang family has no descendants... I can only marry my son by selling my daughter."

"Bullshit, your son's inability to marry a wife is due to his incompetence, so what's none of your business?" Nan Feng yelled.

It was the one who stopped the crying father.

Both father and daughter looked at Nanfeng strangely. They probably thought that Nanfeng was a different kind. When they came to buy people, they came to buy people, and they also came to teach them. Besides, marriage is now the order of parents. Of course, if you don't have a wife, you have no ability to be a father. What does it have to do with your son?

"Forget it, let's not talk so much. I opened a shop in the city, and I just want to find a smart and capable girl to help me. Your name is Feng Gu, right? What do you know?"

Gu Feng probably knew that she didn't need to go to the brothel anymore, so she became more courageous and stopped stammering: "I can cook, chop firewood, embroider, and I can read some words."

"Are you still literate?" Nan Feng's impression of Feng Gu was better again, she likes people who are educated.

The father next to him said: "Her mother taught it. Her mother used to serve the young lady of a rich family. She read with her every day so she understood a little bit. It's because her mother died early, otherwise she could teach some more."

It turned out to be a motherless child, and Nanfeng couldn't help feeling that he and this Feng girl were in the same sympathy, so he said: "I don't want to buy you either, I don't want your contract of sale, you just need to come back to the store with me to help, if you want money I'll pay you monthly, what do you think?"

The father asked suspiciously: "Huh? Don't sell yourself? How many copper coins can I get every month?"

"Not much, just one tael of silver," Nanfeng said. One tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper coins. The local consumption level is two copper coins for a steamed bun, so the price is [-] pairs of steamed buns.

But a 13-year-old girl can earn one or two taels of silver a month, which is very good, and the father and daughter are overjoyed.

"Then... Miss, can you advance her five months' wages in advance? Five months' wages are just enough for her brother's bride price," the father said.

Nan Feng felt a little angry, "I'm sorry, there is no such rule."

"If it doesn't work...then I can't sell you, Feng Gu. Feng Gu is good-looking, hardworking, and literate. If I sell it to others, I can sell it for ten taels of silver."

Nanfeng turned around and left.

However, I don't know if their eyes met, but with so many people that day, Nan Feng felt that Feng Gu was more pleasing to the eye, looking innocent and kind.

After Nanfeng turned around and came back, he glanced at Feng Gu again, and saw that Feng Gu was also looking at her eagerly, and said timidly: "Sister, why don't you just buy me?"

Nanfeng struggled for a while, and finally took five taels of silver from his purse and gave it to Fenggu's father: "This money is for you, but please go back with me to sign a labor contract and give me a receipt. No wages for five months, just board and lodging, if Aunt Feng does not meet the employment requirements, then I will fire her and get back my five silver!"

Do you still care about food and lodging?

The father and daughter immediately kowtowed and thanked Nanfeng.
