Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

Chapter 79 - 79 I Want Him



79 I Want Him

A slave was not considered a human, but a master’s property. The government protected the rights and interests of slave owners, and punished runaway slaves severely.

Once a runaway slave was found, the authorities would contact the master, and those whose owner could not be contacted would be immediately executed.

...

The children of the runaway slaves also belonged to the slave owners, and once they were found, they would be dealt with in the same way.

It was also because of this reason that slaves with slave did not dare to escape. Even if they escaped, they did not dare to marry or have too close contact with others. Once the identity of a slave was discovered, death was practically waiting for them.

Lin Xiaoyue only knew this after asking a young hunter beside her who had lost an arm.

This hunter had come to buy a wife because he had lost an arm while hunting.

When he found out that Lin Xiaoyue was here to buy a husband, he was shocked beyond words.

After all, Lin Xiaoyue was good-looking.

She hadn’t really grown up yet, so if she waited for another one or two years, she would definitely be a great beauty.

With such beauty, there should be many people who would be willing to marry her.

He too was willing to, but his arm…ah, what a pity.

“Whether the slave seal is stamped or not depends on you. Anyway, I can’t bear to let my future wife suffer,” the man said.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded, “Hmm, I don’t want to let my future husband suffer either.”

How painful it would be to burn his body with a soldering iron! In ancient times, there were no anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics. If he got infected, he might even die.

Of course, she had these drugs. But she couldn’t bear to let Li Xiao suffer.

Besides, Li Xiao was a man. It would hurt his self-esteem to have the word “slave” printed on his body.

“Your future husband is really lucky.” The hunter looked at Lin Xiaoyue with emotions.

“Hehe, I think so too!” Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile. She didn’t understand the emotion in the man’s eyes at all and looked at Li Xiao on the stage.

At the moment, Third Master Zhou had already auctioned off a lot of slaves, and almost all of these slaves were branded with the slave mark.

Only one of the girls bought by the Madam did not have the mark, because she didn’t want to taint her body.

Marking the slave could allow one to physically and mentally control them, preventing them from escaping. Moreover, even if the slave really escaped, the probability of being found would be higher.

Lin Xiaoyue waited for a while more, and finally saw Third Master Zhou’s subordinate bring Li Xiao out.

The way that the subordinate treated Li Xiao was obviously different from the other slaves. He neither pulled nor pushed Li Xiao.

There was no other reason. Li Xiao was almost a head taller than the subordinate when he stood up.

The man was 1.85 meters tall, and his huge figure alone was enough to intimidate others. In addition, he had a hideous scar on his face. No one dared to provoke him.

When Master Zhou saw Li Xiao, his arrogance from before was also gone.

“A young and strong man, and a good bodyguard! The starting price is 25 taels!” Instead of manhandling Li Xiao, he straightened his face and looked at the crowd.

Li Xiao looked at the audience below the stage, which made them flinch.

Only Lin Xiaoyue didn’t, but her eyes were excited.

“Me! I want him. I bid 25 taels!” Lin Xiaoyue raised her hand and said.
