Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space
Chapter 454 Could he be a liar?
If you sell yourself into slavery, you don't even have to pay taxes.
Uncle Huang thought about it and asked: "Sir, if I sell myself as a slave, I don't need any wages, and you only need to take care of my food and housing, is that okay?"
Qiao Ran was stunned: "You want to sell yourself into slavery? Why? You can be a long-term laborer, and the long-term laborer can also keep your farm registration. If you become a slave, you will have nothing."
Uncle Huang smiled bitterly: "Look, I am alone now. What else can I have besides these shabby houses? I have no descendants, so it doesn't matter whether I have a household registration or not. It's useless to ask for the land. The taxes are too high. I have to pay I can’t afford it. Instead of using all my hard-earned money to support those corrupt officials, I might as well sell myself into slavery, just to have food to eat, a shelter from the wind and rain to sleep, and not to freeze or starve to death.”
Qiao Ran hesitated for a moment. It wasn't that she couldn't accept the ancient slavery system, but that she had to consider many issues.
After thinking for a while, she said: "Uncle, let's do this! I hope you will think carefully about future matters slowly and give me an answer in a few months. For now, I will prick a silver needle into your leg first and let you Make it feel better. Then I will give you a prescription. You can make some medicine and adjust it by yourself. It will take about three months to completely recuperate your body and ensure that you can return to your forty-year-old state."
"As for whether you want to be a long-term laborer or sell yourself into slavery, you still have half a year to consider. I will come back to you in half a year, or you can go to Qingshui Village in the Devil's Valley on the outskirts of the capital to find me. My surname is Qiao, and my family is the only one in our village. My surname is Joe, you can find me just by asking.”
Uncle Huang moved his lips, wanting to say something.
Qiao Ran saw the embarrassment on his face and continued:
"As for your life in the past six months, you don't have to worry. I bought all your silkworm cocoons, these bamboo plaques, bamboo sieves and wooden shelves. I will give you one tael of silver and a bag of rice, okay? As for the cost of medicine, You don’t have to worry, I have to go to Luoyang Fucheng to do some errands later, and I’ll help you buy one month’s worth of medicine for you, and the next two months. Your legs and feet will be much more convenient after one month, so you can buy it yourself. "
Uncle Huang didn't expect such a good thing. The silkworm-raising tools in his house were just a bunch of useless things in the eyes of outsiders, but this young man was willing to pay one tael of silver and a bag of rice to buy them.
He knew that the reason why the young master wanted to give him a bag of rice was because of the inconvenience in his legs and feet.
This bag of rice can last me two to three months, and this tael of silver is enough to buy medicine.
The young master is sympathizing with himself and helping himself!
His lips trembled and he was too excited to speak. He bent his knees and was about to kneel down to his benefactor.
Qiao Ran helped him up in time: "Uncle, your legs and feet are not good, don't kneel down. Let's go to the main room first. You roll up your trouser legs, and I will prick your legs with a silver needle."
Uncle Huang was so excited that he couldn't even walk with his hands and feet. He walked back to the main room, held the table, sat down on a stool next to the table, and rolled up his trousers.
At this time, several people appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. They were the old people who had just been chatting under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
There are no entertainment activities for the farmers. Whenever there is something lively in the village, everyone goes to see it.
A young man riding a horse came to Huang Laogen's house. This made several old people who had nothing to do very curious and wanted to take a look at the excitement at Huang Laogen's house.
"Lao Gen, is this your nephew? Coming to pick you up so soon?"
"Are you going to live with your nephew? Do you still want these things at home?"
"Do you still want those bamboo plaques, sieves and so on? If not, can I take them back to dry?"
"You wouldn't take those shelves to your nephew's house, would you? Why don't I take them back and use them as firewood?"
Several old people walked in, talking all over the place.
Qiao Ran was a little speechless, but she also knew that some people were like this and would never let it go if they could get something cheap.
These villagers all thought that they were Uncle Huang's nephew and were here to take Uncle Huang away, so they wanted to divide the things in Uncle Huang's house.
Uncle Huang also had a dark face after hearing this, but as a fellow villager, he doesn't get angry easily.
He explained loudly: "This young master is not my nephew. He came to my house to buy silkworms. The young master knows medical skills and is helping me with acupuncture treatment on my legs! I will not go to my nephew's house for the time being. This young master said he can treat me After my old illness is cured, I can still work to support myself in the future."
"What? Is this true? Is this a doctor? It doesn't look like it!"
"Yeah, how can there be such a young doctor? He looks like he's only fourteen or fifteen, right? How come he can treat patients? He's not a liar, right?"
"Old Gen, you have finally saved so much life-saving money, but don't be deceived by others! Look at the state of your body and bones, don't you have any idea? It's better to go find your nephew, don't put yourself at risk My life was wasted by a liar."
"Really? He said he is here to buy silkworms, and he wants to treat your leg and cure an old disease? So is he here to buy silkworms or to treat an illness? He is afraid that he will pretend to be a doctor when he sees that you are not in good health. Are you going to cheat you out of money?"
It has to be said that the imaginations of several old people are quite rich. With just one sentence, each one of them identified Qiao Ran as a fake doctor who defrauded people of their money.
Uncle Huang felt angry as he listened to what these people said became more and more outrageous.
Regardless of whether these were elders in the village, he said in a cold voice:
"Uncles and aunties, you don't have to worry about me. This Mr. Qiao didn't say he wanted to charge me for consultation. He also said he wanted to buy my cocoons and silkworms, and he also wanted to give me a bag of rice and a Yue’s medicinal materials. This young master is a good man, I won’t allow you to misunderstand Mr. Qiao!”
Several old people chirped and looked at the young master in disbelief.
There is no medical fee to treat him, but you still have to spend money to buy Huang Laogen’s pile of junk? Want to give him a bag of rice and a month's worth of medicinal materials?
How can there be such a good thing in the world? Could it be that Huang Laogen was drugged and made stupid?
However, just when they were about to say something else, they saw the young master taking out a small cloth bag he carried with him and took out a cloth bag.
I saw him placing the cloth bag on the table and spreading it out. There was a neat row of silver needles on it!
"Is this... really a doctor?"
"Can you also insert silver needles? I heard that there are not many doctors who can insert silver needles. Isn't this just pretentious and deceptive?"
"Let's see! If he is a liar, Huang Laogen will definitely suffer!"
"No, I have to call the young people in the village back. If this is a liar, he defrauded Lao Gen of his money and ran away, and even damaged Lao Gen, we can't hold him back!"
"Yes! Yes! Go and call someone! My two sons and several grandsons are working in the fields at the head of the village. Call them!"
"A few of my family members are also at the head of the village. Call them together! If this is a liar, he will not be able to escape from the village!"
Qiao Ran, who was picking up a silver needle, couldn't laugh or cry after hearing what these old people said.
Although these old people are greedy for petty gains, they are also very protective of the people in their village. They are worried that she is a liar and will harm Uncle Huang, and they will call the young people in the family to come and block her.
