After wearing it: I traded a pig for a man.

Seeing Jiang Zhaodi fawning over Fu Shaoli, Jiang Yunning was speechless.

I really don't know what they're after. Why would they choose to be a lackey and fawn over someone else?

Soon the group reached the village entrance, and Wang Dahe spotted her immediately: "Yun Ning, it's been so long since you've been to the county."

Jiang Yunning grinned: "Brother Wang, after the tomato season is over, we don't go to the county town much anymore."

I don't understand why Jiang Yun Ning could still be involved with government officials.

And it seems like they have a pretty good relationship.

"Brother Wang, I'd like to buy a few slaves to work at home. Is that possible?" Jiang Yun Ning asked in a low voice.

She didn't know if there was a limit to the number of people she could buy slaves.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dahe immediately agreed: "Why not? Go pick them out, buy as many as you like."

"Okay." Jiang Yun Ning lifted her leg to move forward, but Jiang Che pulled her back, gripping her arm tightly: "Isn't it enough for me?"

Jiang Yun Ning blinked: "I bought it to do work, unlike you."

Jiang Che knew what she meant, but for some reason, he still felt awkward.

"You already have Jiang Che, isn't that enough?" Fu Shaoli pushed away Jiang Zhaodi, who was grabbing her, and stood angrily with her hands on her hips. "Don't go too far! What about Jiang Che?!"

She glared at Jiang Yunning, then looked at Jiang Che.

What an idiot! Jiang Yun Ning is about to buy someone else, but he's still stubbornly following her.

Jiang Yun Ning's ears hurt from her loud voice: "Where to put it? Put it in your heart. Okay?"

Jiang Che nodded: "Okay."

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Fu Shaoli was furious, her face flushed red. She pointed a finger at her nose and shouted, "You!"

Jiang Yun Ning frowned; she hated it when people pointed at her.

He slapped Fu Shaoli's hand away in disgust: "What are you talking about? Are you sick? What business is it of yours if I buy slaves? What? Are you going to pay for it for me?"

Hearing this, Fu Shaoli ignored the pain in her hand from the slap: "Why should I pay you! Unless you give Jiang Che to me!"

Since everyone already knows she likes Jiang Che, there's no need for her to pretend anymore.

Jiang Yun Ning clicked her tongue, thinking she should just bear with it, but Fu Shao Li dared to be so shameless as to steal her man right in front of so many people.

Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't.

"What are you spouting nonsense for if you're not going to pay? Stop eating shit all the time, your breath reeks of death. Can't you smell it yourself? And you like to steal other women's husbands, from now on all the men in the village should stay away from you. Who knows, one day when they pass by your house, you'll sack them and snatch them away."

Fu Shaoli's lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

I never expected Jiang Yun Ning to say such harsh things.

It wasn't like this before.

Even if Jiang Yun Ning disliked her before, she would never say such things to her.

"You! You!" Fu Shaoli's eyes reddened, and tears fell down her cheeks.

Jiang Zhaodi's eyes swept over the two of them a few times before she said with a kind expression, "Yun Ning, we're all from the same village, you're being too rude."

Jiang Yunning laughed in exasperation.

"Don't listen to my harsh words. What did I do to hurt your feelings? Do you need to pretend to be a good person? Are you blind? Can't you see she's just stealing her man? When your father is taken away, you must tell your mother, but don't say anything too harsh. You must respectfully send your father away."

The words spoken in quick succession made Jiang Zhaodi's face instantly lose its composure.

She had originally thought that Jiang Yun Ning would give her face because they were from the same village, but in the end, she was the one who got scolded.

"Pfft...cough cough." Wang Dahe covered his mouth with his fist, somewhat embarrassed.

Even after all this time, Jiang Yun Ning's mouth is still so sharp.

He was even a little envious.

"Shao Li is just a bit blunt, can't you just be more tolerant? Why do you have to make such a scene?" Jiang Zhaodi glared at Jiang Yun Ning angrily, her eyes full of resentment.

Jiang Yuning rolled up his sleeves immediately: "What does her bluntness have to do with me? Why should I put up with it? I hit pretty hard, can't you hold back when I hit you? Don't make things too ugly for everyone!"

Jiang Che is now adept at judging the level of Jiang Yun Ning's anger by the intensity of her insults.

"Don't get angry, it'll hurt your health. I'll go kick their door down and get revenge for you."

He doesn't hit women, at least not now.

But causing some damage is still acceptable.

Wang Dahe crossed his arms and looked at Fu Shaoli beside him, pretending not to have heard Jiang Che's words.

At this moment, the village head, who was already sweating profusely from anxiety, was finally able to get a word in edgewise.

"Zhao Di, Fu family maids. If you want to buy slaves, stay here. If not, leave now. Don't cause trouble here."

Jiang Zhaodi's eyes were somewhat timid. She hid behind Fu Shaoli and didn't dare to say another word.

She just wanted to curry favor with Fu Shaoli and didn't want to offend the village head.

Fu Shaoli wanted to say something more, but when she saw Wang Dahe staring at her with a stern face, she immediately shut her mouth.

There were more than fifty male and female slaves in this batch. Wang Dahe picked out the servants who were implicated because of their master's mistakes, a total of fifteen.

"Sister, these are all former servants of wealthy families. They signed life-or-death contracts back then. But when their masters made a mistake, they too became slaves."

Wang Dahe pointed to the row in front of him.

Jiang Yun Ning was immediately delighted upon hearing this.

They came from wealthy families, saving her the trouble of disciplining them. Moreover, they were implicated by their master, indicating that these people themselves were innocent.

Wang Dahe moved closer to her and whispered, "Girl, this is the last batch before the New Year. Next year's slaves will be sent to the drought-stricken areas in the west, where many people have died. If you want to buy them, you'd better buy them all today."

Jiang Yun Ning frowned.

How many people died in the drought in the west that made it necessary to send slaves there?

She looked at the fifteen people in front of her and asked, "Does anyone know martial arts?"

Three men raised their hands.

Are there any literate people here?

A young maid looked at her timidly: "I...I know a few words. But not many. I used to follow Miss around and learned for a few years."

Jiang Yun Ning nodded and beckoned the four people to come out first. She then selected a kind-looking maid and an old woman who was about the same age as Wang Cuihua.

Then we'll have her accompany Wang Cuihua.

This means they bought three men and three women at once.

"Seventeen taels." Wang Dahe wrote the contract and handed over the indentures of the other six people as well.

Jiang Yun Ning paid the money and looked at him happily: "Brother Wang, I've researched a new dish. Would you like to come to my house and try it? It's sour and spicy, very satisfying."

In those isolated ancient times, personal connections were the key to information.

If she hadn't cultivated a good relationship with Wang Dahe, she wouldn't have received this news today.
