Chapter 650: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (4)
Once these words were spoken, it was like taking the tactic of "beating someone with a stick and then giving them a sweet date" to the extreme!
When the servants who were still alive in the outer houses heard this, they immediately rushed out, tumbling to their knees, and begged desperately - begging Madam Liang to show mercy and allow their families to come and redeem them.
You know, before this, many servants had the habit of saving money to redeem themselves.
It was a pity that the Liang family was robbed of their property so suddenly that many people did not have the time to take out the private money they had saved for many years.
What's worse, those officers and soldiers who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers saw the loose change and just snatched it away without saying a word.
This was exactly what happened to Xiangsi. All the money she had saved for several years through hard work and frugality was gone in an instant!
At this moment, Xiangsi looked at the people in front of him who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and begging for mercy, hoping that Madam Liang would show mercy and give them a way out, and he could only sigh in his heart.
Doesn't Xiangsi want to leave the Liang family? Of course not!
But now, she is the only one left in the Xu family. Who would help her redeem herself?
Therefore, Xiangsi could only lower his head and remain silent outside the hall!
After thinking it over, she was afraid that in the end, if she could not continue to work in this mansion, the only fate that awaited her would be to be sold off.
At this time, Xiangsi had just turned fourteen years old!
However, having said that, even if those who are hoping that their family members will come to redeem them seem to be certain that their family members will come, not everyone can get what they want.
After all, the reason they were sold in the first place was that their families were probably not wealthy.
Since they had no money to raise their children and had to sell them to other people as slaves, how could they easily come up with a large sum of money to redeem them now!
Even as the maids were crying, Madam Liang remained unmoved.
She swept her eyes across everyone, and finally stopped at Xiangsi: "Xiangsi, you are quite clever, not bad!"
When Xiangsi heard this, she couldn't help but feel very confused - what on earth did this mean?
But she soon found out.
Those who had just stood up and wanted to redeem their family members, whether they were maids, slaves, or housekeepers, all had their indentures taken out.
Several human traffickers who had been waiting outside the house also came in.
They took the indentures skillfully and began to count the heads.
Xiangsi was shocked by this action. Madam Liang was not being kind at all. She was simply "screening".
I am afraid that the list that I have just looked at for a few days and the people whose names have been checked will be sold are simply a cover-up.
Those who are really going to be sold are those who have ulterior motives and want to leave the Liang Mansion.
Thinking of this, Xiangsi couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
Because just now her cook-master had instigated her to come out and beg the old lady.
"We have skills, and I have earned a lot of money for my family." The cook said confidently, "When the time comes, I will ask my family to redeem you, and we can open a small food store, which is better than staying in this poor Liang Mansion."
"Master, thank you for redeeming me. I will be filial to you in the future and will not let you spend your money in vain." After hearing the master's words, Xiangsi was grateful in her heart, but just when she was about to follow them out, a few words from her master made Xiangsi stop.
"After all, it's my family who paid for it, so I can't give you the indenture. Let's wait until the future!" The master said to Xiangsi as he walked forward, "You're still young anyway, so work for me for a few years. When you're twenty, we can talk about the indenture."
After hearing this, Xiangsi couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that it was just sold from the Liang family and then bought back by the master's family.
After all, she is still a person without freedom.
Xiangsi had been with this master for several years and had already figured out what kind of person he was. She was afraid that if she really followed the master, her home might not be a good place.
It was this hesitation that saved Xiangsi from being sold out.
Those people had their mouths blocked by human gangsters, were tied together with ropes, and were taken out.
The old lady's confidant took the banknote with a smile and said, "These people are all trained in our house. They will be good if they are sold to other families.
Some of them are from well-off families, so you can ask them if they are willing to pay a high price to buy them back. Apart from other things, the cook may have some skills, so she can be sold anywhere."
"Don't worry, I've already arranged for her to go out." The trafficker chuckled, "She thought her family would come to redeem her! In fact, her husband had already found another woman, and after knowing what happened in the Liang Mansion, he came to me on purpose.
She also gave me a sum of money and told me that if I was asked to sell someone in the Liang Mansion, I should sell the person far away and never come back! Tomorrow she will board a ship heading south."
