Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 146

At this time, one of the two little girls who were still crying, looking at the older one, shouted loudly, "We were not sold here voluntarily! We didn't take the money from selling our bodies!"

Zhong Ruyi was a little confused. If he didn't come here voluntarily, then why did he come to the dental clinic?

Seeing her doubt, the dental agent whispered to her, "These are three siblings. The one who was beaten is the second oldest brother, and the two standing over there are his older sisters."

He pointed at the two girls and said, "They were sold here by their grandparents. When they were sold, they were drugged. Their grandparents took the money and sent them here. When they woke up, they realized they were sold. Now they are crying and trying to run away."

"That's impossible. We spent a lot of money to buy these three people! How can we let them run away? Then, will our dental business still be able to continue?"

Seeing that the little boy was about to die from being beaten, Zhong Ruyi said with a wrenching heart, "Tell them to stop. I'll buy him."

As soon as they heard that the boy was going to be bought, the people from the pawnbroker immediately asked them to stop. The two sisters who had been stopped immediately rushed over to him and hugged him and cried.

Zhong Laosan walked to Xiaomei's side, lifted his butt to push Chen Dongzhi away, and whispered, "Xiaomei, why did you buy him?"

Zhong Ruyi blinked, "Third brother, I'm about to open a shop, so I'll need someone, right? I might as well buy him back to be the waiter."

The two were talking in low voices. The boy who had been beaten half to death slowly opened his eyes and saw his elder sister and younger sister lying on him crying.

"...Cough!" He couldn't help but cough. The two sisters who were crying on him looked at him with swollen eyes.

Even Zhong Ruyi and the others who were talking in low voices looked at him.

The man at the dental shop saw that he had woken up and told him to come up quickly. "Hurry up and pack your clothes and belongings. This girl wants to buy you. You have met a kind person!"

He pointed at Zhong Ruyi who was standing aside and said, "You can go back with this girl later."

The two sisters helped him up, and the boy walked in front of Zhong Ruyi with a bruised face.

Zhong Ruyi thought he was coming to thank her and was about to open her mouth to speak, but the boy suddenly fell to his knees with a plop, which scared her so much that she quickly reached out to help him up.

Seeing the boys kneeling down, the two sisters knelt down as well.

"Miss! Please buy my sisters. I can exchange with them. I will stay and you can buy them back! They can do anything!"

No matter how Zhong Ruyi pulled him, the boy just wouldn't get up, and the two sisters burst into tears.

The boy's sister cried and said, "Miss, please buy my sister. She is still young and cannot be sold to a brothel!"

"No, I want to be with my sister and brother!" the little girl also cried.

Zhong Ruyi didn't expect that the pawnbroker actually wanted to sell the two sisters to a brothel. She looked at the people from the pawnbroker.

The pimps didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and they said confidently, "These two are good-looking. If we sell them to a brothel, we can certainly make some money. It's much better than selling them to others as maids."

Zhong Ruyi looked at him with a look that asked, "Are you still a human being?" The man was embarrassed for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

"Girl, these two girls are more expensive than this boy. If you want this boy, I will still give it to you at the price I bought it for, but these two girls are more expensive. After all, we have been treating them to delicious food and drinks these days in order to sell them at a good price."

Zhong Ruyi asked directly, "How much does it cost for three people?"

Zhong Laosan was hesitant to speak. Would it be too much to buy three people at once?

Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Laoer didn't think there was anything wrong. They touched the silver in their arms, thinking that they would give Ruyi enough money if she didn't have enough later.

The pawnbroker smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "We spent ten taels of silver to buy this boy. As for the two girls, you can give us thirty taels. We will consider it as a good deal for you."

The total price was forty taels of silver. When the three siblings heard the price, they became nervous, fearing that they would scare away the person who had come with great difficulty to buy them.

But fortunately, they really met a good person. When the three of them stood at the door of the pawnshop, they secretly vowed in their hearts that they would repay Miss Zhong.

Mother Zhong stared in amazement at her daughter bringing back three dirty people. She opened her mouth in surprise and asked, "Did you buy these people?"

Zhong Ruyi poured water for the three siblings and asked them to find a stool and sit down.

"Mom, I bought them because I want them to help me with work. My second brother and I will go find a carpenter to make some tables and chairs tomorrow, and then we will find someone to repair any parts of the store that need repairs."

Mother Zhong leaned over to her daughter's ear and whispered, "You don't know them. What if the three siblings do something bad?"

She glanced at the three siblings who were looking nervous. She was clearly whispering to Zhong's mother but her voice was loud. "Mom, don't be afraid. I have their indentures. If they have any bad intentions, I will send them to see the authorities."

The three siblings immediately plopped down on their knees again.

The older one said seriously, "Ms. Zhong, you saved us. If it weren't for you, my sister and I would have been sold to a brothel these two days, and my brother would have been beaten to death. We can never repay your kindness even if we work like slaves."

"If we have any bad intentions, just send us to the authorities!"

Seeing the three people kneeling straight, Mother Zhong felt uncomfortable and quickly pulled them up. "If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Don't kneel down so easily."

"You guys should stand up and sit down to talk. We don't have the habit of talking while kneeling in our family."

After Zhong Ruyi said this, the three of them stood up, but they were unwilling to sit down.

Forget it, just stand if you want to. It’s better than kneeling. As a modern person, she really can’t get used to it.

She looked at the oldest sister, "What's your name, how old are you, and where are you from?"

"My name is Jiang Rong, I'm seventeen years old. My brother is Jiang Qin, as in diligent, he's fourteen years old. My sister is Jiang Yun, she's ten years old. We're from Jiangjia Village."

Seventeen years old, the same age as her daughter, Zhong's mother looked at her.

"Jiangjia Village? Is it the first village after walking out of the town?" asked Zhong Laoer, who had been silent all the time.

Zhong Ruyi didn't expect that his second brother actually knew about Jiangjia Village. He asked curiously, "Second brother, how did you know?"

Zhong Laoer whispered, "The chickens we use in our store every day are bought from Jiangjia Village."

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang Rong nodded, "Yes, the first village you see when you walk out of the town is Jiangjia Village. We were sold to the town from there."
