But based on her knowledge, not all families can buy people. Like those from aristocratic families, the servants in the family are all servants. They are born slaves, and their life and death are in the hands of their masters.
Then, a house with a good reputation will naturally have servants. There are servants who have sold the death contract and become slaves, and there are also servants who have the living contract. When the contract expires, they can leave.
But ordinary people like her family are probably not qualified to use slaves. They can spend money to hire servants, but it is by no means the kind of master-servant relationship that can control each other's life and death. It is just paying for a nanny.
That's all.
But she wasn't sure about this, and didn't dare to say anything more.
So, He Xiner said tactfully, "Um, um, our family doesn't have a big business, big business or anything like that, so if we suddenly want to buy some servants, isn't it too ostentatious and eye-catching?"
Lao Yetou felt a chill in his heart.
He still remembered that more than a few decades ago, there was a family in a neighboring village. They were originally farmers. The family was extremely poor and had nothing. However, they gave birth to a son who was extremely smart. However, he was not
A scholar, his family has no money for him to study.
That kid seemed to be of the same age as him, or about the same age anyway.
Alas, he is no longer a boy. If he had lived till now, he would have been an old man.
He said that the man was a boy because he was only twenty years old when he died.
Thinking back then, the fate of that family was so tragic that everyone in the nearby villages knew about it and had been secretly discussing it for many years. For him, the memory was very deep.
Speaking of which, what did the family do wrong? It was just that their son was too smart and good at making money.
When the boy was fourteen years old, he started to make money from home. After that, his business grew bigger and bigger, and he even bought a house in the town, and the whole family moved to live in the town.
At that time, there was no one in the surrounding areas who did not envy him.
But I also heard that the reason why that family moved to the town was because they were fed up with the poor relatives who came to visit them every day. That family, with a small population but rich wealth, was being harassed by a group of poor relatives like crazy.
The blood-sucking was really unbearable, so the family moved to the town.
I thought I could have a few days of leisure in the town, but I didn't know that disaster was yet to come.
It is said that the man was born in a peasant family and had no foundation. Even though he was a born business wizard, he was powerless. To him, the huge family fortune was like a child holding gold. He was easily taken away from the family property.
He said that the whole family was killed and silenced, leaving no one alive.
Later, the family's land was divided up by several relatives, but no one provided money to pay for the family's funeral arrangements. It was the village chief who pressured the family, so the family had no choice but to buy a few thin coffins and bury the person hastily in Xishan.
head.
Back then, when old Ye Tou had just gotten married and had not yet separated from Ye Dahai, his father said with emotion that it was too difficult for poor people to get ahead. Even if they had a little cleverness and earned some money, what could they do?
It's not like he was crushed to death just because he was told to do so.
If a farmer wants to get ahead, the only way out is to study!
Who dares to humiliate someone with fame and honor?
It was because of these words that Old Ye Tou started thinking about it. He wanted to provide a scholar, change the lintel of his family, and honor his ancestors. However, he was counting on the income from a few acres of thin farmland at home, which could barely cover the needs of the noble family. How could he have enough money to support him?
Son studying?
Later, God gave him an opportunity, and he had money to support his eldest grandson's education.
Those distant past events came to mind again because of He Xiner's words. For a moment, Old Ye's head swayed a little and his expression was a little dull, as if he was lost in thought.
