When Jin Feng heard this, the stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.
Isn’t this just a collision in my arms?
"Linglong, if that's the case, there's something I need to tell you."
Jin Feng thought for a moment and said: "Actually, I also asked someone to find your family..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhu Linglong grabbed her arm and asked, "How is it? Have you found it?"
Ever since something happened at home, finding her family has become Zhu Linglong's biggest wish.
In fact, she also thought about asking Jin Feng for help, but she had experienced too many twists and turns in the past six months and she really didn't dare to take the risk.
She could tell that Jin Feng wanted to reuse her. Considering that she and Jin Feng were not related, she was afraid that asking for Jin Feng's help would be self-defeating and make Jin Feng think that she was in trouble.
If she is no longer reused because of this incident, then her hope of saving her family will be completely shattered.
To be on the safe side, Zhu Linglong chose not to ask for help from Jin Feng. She planned to wait until she had established a firm foothold and gained a certain status before entrusting others to handle it.
But I didn't expect that Jin Feng had already done this quietly.
At this time, Zhu Linglong couldn't think about why Jin Feng did this. She only wanted to know if she had found the person.
"There is news about the female family members, but they were bought by a wealthy businessman named Zhang Yunting and brought to Jiangnan. I am arranging for people to go to Jiangnan to look for them."
Jin Feng said: "The man was sent to the front line. The matter is a little complicated. There is no news back yet."
Zhu Linglong's mother was very smart. Not only did she beat Zhu Linglong until her nose was black and her face was swollen, but so did the other female family members.
This allowed all the female members of the Zhu family to successfully avoid the hot pit of Jiaofangsi and were sent to Yahang together.
However, in the tooth shop, Zhu Linglong tripped once and was locked into another room by Ya Lang. She was separated from her family from then on.
Zhu Linglong looked slightly disappointed when she heard that her family had been sold to Jiangnan.
But then he saluted Jin Feng: "Thank you sir! As long as you speak, Linglong can go to the capital at any time."
By this time, she had realized that Jin Feng must have some agenda for going to such great lengths.
Recalling Jin Feng's previous words, she immediately understood Jin Feng's purpose.
"Things are not urgent these days," Jin Feng said with a smile: "I came to you today just to ask what you think. If you are not willing, I will think of other ways."
"Linglong is willing!" Zhu Linglong nodded immediately: "Before, I was just worried about my family. Now that my husband is helping to search, Linglong no longer has any other worries and allows my husband to drive me."
She knew very well that Jin Feng's ability was definitely greater than hers, and Jin Feng would definitely be faster than her when he went to find it.
"I feel relieved when you say that." Jin Feng said: "Then wait for a while and wait until you are reunited with your family. That place in the capital is very important, and I also need to see if you can take the lead.
"
"Don't worry, sir, Linglong will definitely do her best!" Zhu Linglong quickly assured.
In the following days, Zhu Linglong's work enthusiasm was obviously much higher than before.
I am the first one to go to work every day and the last one to leave.
When he encounters something he doesn’t understand, he doesn’t pretend to understand, but takes the initiative to ask Jin Feng for advice.
While the two were talking, somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Linglong's mother, Zhu Chen, was sitting outside the thatched shed, spinning thread and looking in the direction of Sichuan.
There was both happiness and helplessness on his face.
Fortunately, they met Zhang Yunting.
Zhang Yunting is in the textile business, and his family has many textile workshops that require a large number of female workers.
Everywhere he went, Zhang Yunting was accustomed to going to the local dental shops to look for cheap female workers.
Most of the female members of the Zhu family were old and weak, and a few pretty sisters-in-law, like Zhu Linglong, were beaten black and blue by Zhu Chen, and no one wanted to buy them back as slaves.
Naturally, such a woman cannot be sold at a high price.
The shopkeeper of Yahang was an old acquaintance with Zhang Yunting. He almost didn't ask for any money, so he packed the Zhu family's women and children together and gave them to Zhang Yunting, who took them back to Jiangnan.
Although Zhu Linglong's sisters-in-law were quite pretty, they were not perfect. Zhang Yunting did not like them either, so they were all sent to work in textile workshops.
This allowed the female members of the Zhu family to escape the tragic fate of being sent to the Jiaofangsi for humiliation, but instead fell into the abyss of the black workshop.
"Grandma, I'm hungry!"
"Grandma, I'm cold!"
The two children crawled out shivering, one on each side, and hugged Mrs. Zhu Chen's thighs.
When Zhang Yunting buys a domestic slave, if the slave has children, he usually brings them with him.
Anyway, the child doesn't need money, so he just brought it back and died. If he didn't die, when he grew up, a pretty girl could be sold to a brothel, and a pretty girl could help him spin thread.
Men can help him deliver goods.
In short, you will definitely not lose money.
Zhu Linglong's two nephews also escaped the disaster and followed their family to Jiangnan.
"Come on, let's eat."
Mrs. Zhu Chen took out two grass roots from her sleeves and gave one to each of her two grandsons. She then took off her coat and wrapped it around her grandson who was crying out cold.
"When will days like this end!"
Mrs. Zhu Chen looked sad.
Although the Zhu family was not well-off in the past, they had no worries about food and drink.
After arriving here, I worked seventeen or eight hours every day to complete the tasks assigned by Zhang Yunting and obtain two handfuls of millet and wild vegetables.
The whole family of more than a dozen women barely survive by cooking porridge with this handful of millet and wild vegetables every day.
A large family was only allocated a straw shed, without even a quilt, and only relied on two bales of hay to keep out the cold.
It's not winter yet, and the children are already shivering from the cold. When winter comes, I don't know if they can survive.
There is also her daughter Linglong, who did not come to Jiangnan with them, and she doesn’t know where she ended up and whether she is still alive.
There is also a man in the family. His youngest son is only thirteen years old. He was also taken away by the government. I don’t know what is happening now...
Zhu Chen was spinning thread and thinking randomly.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Zhang Yunting striding towards his shed with a group of burly men in tight black clothes.
"Quickly, go back and let all of you maids smear their faces!"
Mrs. Zhu Chen's heart tightened and she kicked the child under her feet.
The two children quickly got up and ran to the hay shed.
As soon as the children left, Zhang Yunting arrived with people.
"You guys, she is the Zhu Chen you are looking for."
Zhang Yunting pointed at Zhu Chen and introduced with a smile.
There was a hint of flattery on his face.
With the end of the Battle of Damangpo, the reputation of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has grown.
Zhang Yunting has a lot of business dealings with Sichuan and Shu, so he has naturally heard of it.
In addition, there are new fabrics produced by Xihewan Textile Factory, which are becoming more and more famous. Zhang Yunting has been paying attention to it recently and even sent people to Xihewan to seek cooperation.
It's a pity that Tang Dongdong has been extremely busy recently and has no time to pay attention to him.
When he learned that the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau was coming to find someone from his place, he naturally cooperated.
When Zhu Chen saw Zhang Yunting being so polite to the strong men in front of her, she immediately knew that they were not ordinary people.
What are these people doing with the Zhu family’s female relatives?
Mrs. Zhu Chen was very uneasy, but also had a hint of expectation.
