"The old woman has met some strong men. What do they want from me?"
Mrs. Zhu Chen looked at the escorts with a flattering look on her face.
"We are the escorts of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Are you the mother of Miss Linglong?"
The leader of the escort class asked with a smile.
To be able to give birth to a daughter like Zhu Linglong, Zhu Chen is also a lively and thoughtful person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with the idea of beating the female family members until their skin was bruised and swollen to hide from the Jiaofang Secretary before ransacking the house.
Seeing the escort monitor asking questions with a smile on her face, she immediately judged that the other party should have good intentions.
His anxious heart relaxed and he nodded and said, "Yes, I am Linglong's biological mother! Do you guys have any news about my Linglong? Where is she now?"
"Miss Linglong is following my husband in Xichuan. He asked me to come and look for you."
The escort squad leader replied.
"Linglong is married?"
Zhu Chen asked, then lowered her head.
She knew she was asking nonsense.
Zhu Linglong is just a girl. Apart from being bought by a powerful man and made a concubine, what else can she do to send people all the way to Jiangnan to look for them?
I don’t know if my husband’s family treats their daughter well.
Mrs. Zhu Chen couldn't help but feel worried.
But who knew but heard the escort say: "I don't know if Miss Linglong is getting married."
"You don't know?" Mrs. Zhu Chen was stunned: "Didn't you just say that Linglong and your husband are in Xichuan?"
"Sister-in-law, have you heard of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce? Have you heard of the female shopkeeper of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce?"
Zhang Yunting, who was standing aside, said with a smile: "Miss Linglong was selected by Mr. Jin of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce. She might be the female shopkeeper. I hope my sister-in-law can give me some kind words and support Zhang!"
Zhang Yunting was secretly lucky at this time.
Jin Feng sent people to go to such great lengths to find Zhu Linglong's family. Even a fool knew that Zhu Linglong would be re-employed.
Fortunately, he did not insult the female members of the Zhu family, otherwise it might be troublesome for Zhu Linglong to take revenge in the future.
As for his failure to feed and clothe the Zhu family's women, Zhang Yunting did not panic.
Ordinary people are hungry these days. It is normal for domestic slaves to have insufficient food and clothing.
Allowing all the female members of the Zhu family to survive until now is considered a favor to Zhu Linglong.
It would be unjustifiable if Zhu Linglong took revenge on him because of this incident.
He, Zhang Yunting, also has a lot of family business in Jiangnan. Although it is not as good as the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, it is not unreasonable.
When Zhu Chen heard this, her eyes suddenly widened.
Although Ruan Tongjie had not gone to Xichuan City to establish a base before her family fell, the restaurant was the place with the best information, and Zhu Chen had long heard the name of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce from merchants.
It's just that I didn't have a deep impression, I didn't think of it just now.
Now that Zhang Yunting was reminded, he immediately remembered that the merchants had said that the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce and the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau belonged to the same family, and both belonged to a baron named Jin Feng.
"Is your husband Mr. Jin Jue?"
Mrs. Zhu Chen was surprised and happy.
"Yes!" The escort squad leader nodded.
"Linglong is the female shopkeeper?" Ms. Zhu Chen asked.
Although she knew that Zhu Linglong was good at arithmetic, Dakang's mentality of men being superior to women was too serious.
There are too few girls who come out to work.
Most people believe that women should stay at home, take care of their husbands and raise children, and should not go out to work.
Even if she could not survive, the most she could do was to allow the woman to spin and weave at home.
This is also the reason why the female shopkeeper of Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce is famous all over the world.
However, Zhu Chen herself had been in charge of a restaurant and was relatively open-minded.
She would rather Zhu Linglong be the female shopkeeper than her daughter living by pleasing men.
But the squad leader of the escort poured cold water on her again: "I'm sorry, madam, I don't know if Miss Linglong has become the female shopkeeper. I was just ordered to find Miss Linglong's family. Are you willing to come with me?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Mrs. Zhu Chen nodded quickly: "Thank you, sir, and I'm sorry for bothering all you warriors!"
Since Jin Feng sent people to find them, it shows that he attaches great importance to Zhu Linglong.
Even if Zhu Linglong is not the female shopkeeper, she should still have a high status.
She had heard that the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce had no domestic slaves, and both the shopkeeper and the clerks were paid wages.
Although Zhu Linglong's salary will definitely not allow them to return to their previous days, it is still a thousand times better than working hard here.
Even if they continue spinning, if Zhu Linglong subsidizes their wages a little more, they might be able to have enough food and clothing.
"Then everyone please pack up and come with me."
The squad leader of the escort looked at Zhang Yunting: "Mr. Zhang, may I ask?"
"sure!"
Zhang Yunting quickly took out a stack of body contracts from his arms and handed them to the escort squad leader: "This is their body contract."
"Thank you Mr. Zhang. How much should I pay you?"
The escort squad leader directly took over the body contract.
"No, no. It's fate that I met you all today. Talking about money is tacky!"
Zhang Yunting quickly waved his hand.
In fact, this is a good opportunity to blackmail Jin Feng.
As long as Zhang Yunting is willing, even if he asks for a thousand taels, Zhang Yunting believes that Jin Feng will also be willing to pay.
But he doesn't want to make this money.
Compared with one thousand taels of silver, he hoped to have a good relationship with Jin Feng.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang. I will definitely convey Mr. Zhang's generosity to my husband!"
The squad leader of the escort division is walking around the world, and he is not a piece of wood. Hearing this, he smiled and held his hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. If Linglong is used in the future, Mr. Zhang can just send someone to pass the message, and I will let Linglong repay your kindness!"
Mrs. Zhu and Chen also saluted.
"Hahaha, you two are welcome!"
Zhang Yunting stroked his beard and laughed, knowing that he had made the right bet.
At this time, all the female members of the Zhu family rushed to the door of the hut and looked at the escort and Zhang Yunting curiously.
The escort squad leader found that most of them were wearing summer singles, so he asked someone to bring a few bags over.
"Mrs. Zhu, this is a cotton coat. You should wear it first."
"Thank you warrior!"
Mrs. Zhu and Chen were not polite, bowed and took the baggage and handed it to her eldest daughter-in-law.
My daughter-in-law was already freezing, so she knelt down and opened the package on the spot.
After the Zhu family's female relatives all put on cotton-padded clothes, the escort took them into the carriage.
The children had been starving for a long time. When they found steamed buns on the carriage, they grabbed them and ate them.
Early the next morning, more than a dozen people were put on the fast boat back to Xichuan.
After more than ten days of turbulence, the Zhu family's female relatives finally returned to Xichuan City with their children, where they had been away for many months.
Zhu Linglong had received the news early in the morning and was waiting at the city gate early in the morning.
The family members who had been separated for several months were finally reunited.
Zhu Linglong rented a yard, but Zhu Chen did not go back. Instead, she took her family and found Jin Feng immediately.
"Sir's great kindness will never be forgotten by our Zhu family!"
As soon as Zhu Chen saw Jin Feng, she took the Zhu family members and bowed down to Jin Feng.
On the way to the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce in the city, she heard from Zhu Linglong that Jin Feng not only searched for the Zhu family's female relatives, but also sent people to find the Zhu family's men.
It's a pity that the adult men of the Zhu family did not persevere and all died on the front line.
Now there are only two little boys left in the Zhu family.
But Zhu Chen was still grateful.
If not for Jin Feng's timely help, the Zhu family would probably have lost their popularity.
