Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 193 Help Chen Leizi catch a wife in one go

"It's not that I don't want women who are fleeing from the wilderness. It's because the commune has arranged hunting too frequently recently. I don't even set traps anymore. If you find one, it's poaching. I might not even be able to be a ranger."

"As a forest ranger, even if you give you full work points every day, you can have enough to eat? Besides, you are not allowed to poach your wife. Well, the hilltop where the chickens are raised is a bit messy now, and they cannot be raised freely. If you are going to marry a wife, let her be responsible for raising chickens, and I will pay her the same as Ergouzi and the others."

"Nariko, this is what you said, then I will choose one to be my wife."

Chen Lezi said with a smile, women can choose by themselves, and they don’t have to raise them by themselves. Although he said that the woman he chose was to help Luo Cheng with work, for Chen Laizi, it felt like he had to choose a woman to sleep with, and then his good brother Luo Cheng helped him raise her.

Nowadays, when working, people are not afraid of being tired or suffering. What they are afraid of is being tired and not being able to get any food in their stomachs.

Luo Cheng also smiled and nodded in response. Not only was Chen Laizi going to choose a wife, he also wanted to follow her. It's exactly the same as the emperor choosing his concubine, except that the emperor can choose his concubine every day, but Chen Laizi can only choose it once.

It's easy to find women from other places who come to beg for food. They are usually brought by their parents. In such a situation, it is not easy for someone to raise a daughter for more than ten years. Giving food to her parents may seem like selling her daughter, but she is not saving her daughter. Begging everywhere together makes life even worse.

The other option is easier, go to the Women's Federation Office in the county or urban area. There are some women taken in there, but the holding capacity is limited and they won't take in a certain number of women. When you go there, as long as a woman is willing to follow you, you don't have to give her any food. The clerks at the Women's Federation will also help you do ideological work for those women who are suitable for marriage.

"Leizi, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want to choose? You have to choose a tall one. The babies you will give birth to in the future will also be taller."

"Of course, but it doesn't matter if you are tall or short. Now everyone can't afford to eat, and it's hard to find a wife. But if life gets better in the future, my height will still be looked down upon. If you are shorter, you can live with me more peacefully."

"The ones in front of me seem to be fleeing famine. Let's go and see if there's anything suitable."

"Nariko, are we going to go up and ask directly like this?"

"Well, why don't we have to find a matchmaker? Only Ergouzi has a wife. If he doesn't have a wife, he might have fallen in love with someone and put a sack back in the night."

"I believe he would beat someone up with a sack, but he wouldn't have the guts to trick a woman into becoming his wife."

"Oh, he doesn't dare to use force. But he dares to lure her away. She goes to his house and asks if she wants to be his wife. If she doesn't want to be his wife, she lets her go. And in this world, do you think the chance of successfully getting a wife is high? ."

"This~~."

"That's all. You're just a better hunter than me. I'll ask it for you."

Luo Cheng and Chen Leizi were going to the county town. Of course, if they saw something suitable on the way, they could actually ask. It's just that it's more convenient to go to the Women's Federation, but almost all the people on the road have dirty hair and faces and smelly bodies. In the Women's Federation, even if a woman wears rags, at least she has a place to wash her hands and is somewhat hygienic.

On the way there, I saw a lot of people fleeing the famine. If there are women around the same age, don't be shy, just ask.

He walked quickly to a few beggars sitting on the side of the road, and Chen Laizi followed him. Luo Cheng did not hesitate to inquire about a few people who came here to beg, but he found a target.

"This is your daughter, how old is she?"

"What do you do and what do you want to do?"

"This is my brother, his name is Chen~~Chen~. He is the one who has no wife and is here to find one. Although he is a little shorter, his family's life is not bad. You understand what I mean."

Luo Ben originally wanted to introduce Chen Laizi, but he had called him by his name since they met him, and he didn't even know what his real name was. After introducing the purpose of his visit, he didn't care about the thoughts of the few fleeing people in front of him. He asked Chen Leizi in a low voice to see how the woman in front of him was doing. Although he is a bit thin and not very tall, what if Chen Laizi takes a fancy to her.

"The face is a little dirty and I can't see clearly."

"It's okay. We didn't say we have to do it if they are willing. Let's see if they are willing first."

Several people from the north came to beg for food. A family of six came here begging all the way to the south at the beginning of the year. On the way, two elders fell ill and couldn't bear it, so they found a random hilltop and buried them.

When I got here, I never thought that I would encounter such a thing. There were actually people who took the initiative to ask them whether they wanted to marry their daughter. The parents in front of Luo Cheng had never thought of marrying their daughter. It's not that I won't marry, but ~~.

"I'm fifteen years old, that's what I want."

"Dad, Xiaoling, she~~."

"Don't talk. We are all like this. If anyone wants to take a liking to Xiaoling, just let her be taken away."

"Fifteen years old, that's about right. Can your daughter wipe her face clean?"

"Okay, you guys wait a minute."

Chen Leizi stood aside and looked a little confused as Luo Cheng was talking to others. This was how he was helping him find a wife. This is really asking for a wife, you ask for it directly. The content on the other side is just like making a deal, but the final decision is made by himself.

After a while, the face of the woman named Xiaoling was wiped clean, and at least the outline could be clearly seen. After Luo Cheng and Chen Leizi read it, they stepped aside to discuss.

"Well, he seems to be very average-looking."

"I think it's okay, but he looks a bit immature."

"Didn't they say that when she is fifteen, you are already nineteen. In three years, when she is eighteen and you are twenty-two, you won't feel this way. If you think it's okay, we can take her away, so you don't have to go. The county seat is so far away.”

"Can I take it away directly? No food will be given."

"Give whatever you want, take one away and save the other. Ask the militia how many 'disappeared' people they have dealt with recently."

"Why don't you give me some? After all, it's not easy to raise a daughter."

"Do you have food?"

"Don't you have it? Give me some help."

"I help you find a woman and you still want me to provide you with food. Is there anyone like you? If you really like her, why don't you take a closer look? If you don't, it won't take much time to go to the county seat."

"It really feels okay. I thought about it and decided that I don't want a woman who is much taller than me. If things get better in the future, I might be disliked."

"Okay, don't ask for food later. Follow the rules. When they want to eat, I will give them some."

When the discussion was almost done, Luo Cheng and Chen Leizi turned around and came to a few people who had fled here.

"My brother has taken a liking to your daughter. Can you take her away now? I'll make sure she doesn't starve to death."

"Chinese, can we continue our conversation? I will let you take my daughter away later."

"No problem, we'll do it later."

Their daughter was going to be taken away by Chen Laizi to be his daughter-in-law. Although Chen Laizi was really not that tall, she would have looked down upon her before. But now it’s not a question of whether you look good or not, it’s a matter of living.

Nowadays, how many of those who say they are cruel enough to sell their daughters are truly cruel for a small amount of food? After raising her for more than ten years, she would really sell her daughter for a little food. There was indeed some element of selling during this process. But many people 'sell' their daughters more so that they can live.

The people who fled the famine persuaded their daughter to stay with Luo Cheng and Chen Laizi, so that she could live a good life in the future. There is nothing else to explain. What can be explained? Parents and brothers cannot protect themselves.

"If our daughter goes with you, how much food will you give me?"

"Who said we need to provide food? I am taking your daughter away to save her. But you can also want some food. I will give you a choice. If you want to know where my brother lives, I will tell you the place. You can still find it when you have the opportunity in the future. Come to the door, if you want to sell your daughter, tell me how much food you want. Don’t make random prices. If there are more, we can pick other ones."

The meaning of Luo Cheng's words is very simple. If you want food, treat it like a business. But without food, even if it is a marriage, if the few people in front of me can survive these few years, they can still move around with each other as relatives in the future.
