Chapter 196 (1/2)
No wonder the man in Cangzhou City was interested in her.
Jiang Wan looked at her and thought quietly.
Just watching the two sisters kowtow to themselves, she also decided not to show off.
”Don't knock, too. Let me finish.” Jiang Wan held Gao Xiaoyue on the shoulder and said, ”since you are good people, it's a pity that you didn't become slaves. But I also understand the old man's mind. He worries that if he doesn't sign a contract of sale, I won't help you. ”
After hearing Jiang Wan's words, Gao, who was lying on the bed, shed tears with shame and said, ”I can't help it!”
”So, I've got a way to make both ends meet. You don't have to sign the deed of sale, just write me a letter of refuge.” Jiang Wan said, looking at Gao Xiaoyue with a smile.
Write a letter of refuge?
That tall old man's eye is bright, how oneself didn't think of before.
Signing the deed of sale is equivalent to selling yourself as a commodity. From then on, you can't enter the ancestral temple when you are alive, and you can't join the ancestor when you die. Marriage, life and death are all decided by the owner.
On the other hand, the writing of the documents of taking refuge is ostensibly commensurate with the master and servant, but it's still an independent person. The owners can't sell them. They can not only marry themselves, but also own private property. They just don't harm or abuse the owners. Even if they violate the law, they will be dealt with the same way as the common people.
But the two granddaughters, even if they are the benefactor, will not ignore them in the future.
”Good, this is good!” Gao Laohan lay there and said with a smile, and then told Gao Xiaoyue, ”wait a minute, you will take your sister and follow your wife to write a letter of refuge! I'll be at ease when the matter between you two is settled! ”
Said, his expression a loose, as if really put down the heart of a big stone.
But Jiang Wan was surprised. She had seen many old people die after they let go of their worries.
After she left Gao's sister's room, she quietly told Xia Yi, ”go and tell doctor Cheng to come and have a look at old Gao. I don't think it's right.”
Xia Yi looked at Gao's sisters, nodded and left quickly.
Jiang Wan takes Gao's sisters back to her room and asks Molly to set up the four treasures of her study. Gao Xiaoyue takes the pen in person, writes two letters of refuge and presses her fingerprints.
”I didn't expect you to read!” Looking at Gao Xiaoyue's beautiful handwriting, Jiang Wan said with a smile.
”My mother taught me when I was a child.” Gao Xiaoyue said in a low voice, ”later, my parents died one after another, and my grandfather had no way to take our sisters around for a living.”
It's another family down!
Jiang Wan sighed in her heart, and told Gao Xiaoyue not to worry, but to take care of her grandfather first.
Naturally, Gao Xiaoyue was grateful again.
When Cheng Zixiu got Jiang Wan's letter, he immediately went to see Gao Laohan and found that he was not good.
