Chapter 142 Contract of Sale
So Jiang Laoliu said quickly: "No problem, as long as you let me go and let everyone in Sanwan Village go, I can hand over the two stinky girls to you for disposal and sign a contract to sell them."
Chu Ci sneered in her heart. Jiang Laoliu's tactic of sacrificing the rook to save the king was really clever. He actually dared to use her.
However, she also didn't want to see Qiya's parents homeless.
So, she cooperated with Jiang Laoliu and said, "Are you really sure? But these relatives behind you just seemed to say that they want to expel your family from Sanwan Village."
As soon as Chu Ci asked this question, the villagers who had been clamoring just now immediately changed their words: "No, we were just too emotional before."
Chu Ci knew clearly in his heart that the villagers changed their words because they were afraid of offending him.
At this time, they also realized that Chu Ci did not want them to expel Jiang Laoliu's family from Sanwan Village.
After figuring this out, many villagers quickly assured him: "We are all one family. Even if our bones are broken, they are still connected. How can we just drive someone out of the village?"
Whether Jiang Laoliu really understood or pretended to understand, his face was full of gratitude: "I knew it, I knew it. You guys are not cold-blooded people..."
When the villagers of Sanwan Village heard what Jiang Laoliu said, they all echoed, "Yes, yes, we are all one family. We were just too scared before!"
Chu Ci saw all of this. These people were not only bastards and greedy, but also drama queens who could bend and stretch. But this was not bad, because it made her less worried.
So, after Fan Jingrui received Chu Ci's gaze, Guan Yan beside him prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Fan Jingrui.
Fan Jingrui signed two indentures with a flourish of his pen.
Then, Guan Yan handed two indentures to Jiang Laoliu and said, "Sign it. If you sign it, our young mistress will let you go."
She simply put away the contract and said expressionlessly: "Okay, when you bring the person here, the people here will go back! But..."
Jiang Laoliu and others thought that the matter was over after Chu Ci accepted Yun Guo and Qi Ya's indenture contracts, but Chu Ci's "but" made them worried again.
Chu Ci just said: "I don't trust you, Jiang Laoliu, so let your wife go back!"
Although Qi Ya'niang was somewhat reluctant, she did not dare to go against the wishes of Jiang Laoliu and the people from Sanwan Village who were strongly instigating her.
But as a weak woman who seldom left the village, she was really scared and wanted to find someone to accompany her, but she didn't know who to find.
So, she could only speak timidly: "I, I will go. I, I am scared. Can I..."
Qiyaniang had not yet finished her words.
Qiya had already guessed what her mother was thinking, and immediately took the lead to kneel in front of Chu Ci and said, "Madam, can I accompany mother for the last time? With me here, my second sister will not be too resistant."
Although Qi Ya said this, she could not suppress the fear in her heart when Jiang Laoliu signed the indenture contract and heard that Chu Ci insisted on having her second sister Yun Guo.
After all, at this moment, Qi Ya really couldn't be sure whether Chu Ci would sincerely help herself and her second sister. But now that things had come to this, she could only wait and see and cross the river by feeling the stones.
If it could work out, that would be great. She would be so grateful to Chu Ci that she would remember this kindness for the rest of her life.
Even if things don't work out, the two sisters can take this opportunity to learn more, broaden their horizons, and then find other ways.
Although Chu Ci didn't understand what Qi Ya was thinking, she could see clearly that Qi Ya's action was definitely not just to accompany her mother. After a little hesitation, she said, "Okay, Shuang Rui, you are fast, so you can accompany them!"
"Yes." Shuangrui responded, and then stood beside Qiya.
When Qi Ya heard this, she glanced at Shuang Rui lightly, then kowtowed to Chu Ci again and pulled her mother down the mountain.
Captain Yu, who was standing by, saw that they were no longer needed here and offered to leave.
Chu Ci did not stop him, but just gave him a look. Guan Yan immediately took out a blue purse and said, "Thank you for your trip, Captain Yu. Here is some tea money. I hope you won't refuse it!"
Captain Yu took the purse and weighed it secretly. It was very light, so it must be silver bills.
The smallest denomination of a silver note was also ten taels. There were five of them on this trip, so even if they calculated the lowest denomination of ten taels, they could still earn two taels of silver.
Captain Yu was very satisfied with this.
Before leaving, he bowed and said, "If you need anything in the future, just let me know, brothers!"
Guan Yan was full of flattery and personally sent Captain Yu and his men to the foot of the mountain. Then he turned back and whispered a few words in Fan Jingrui's ear.
Fan Jingrui nodded and said to Chu Ci, "Madam, since the matter has been resolved, I will go back first and pick you up after school."
"Okay." Chu Ci understood that Fan Jingrui was deliberately avoiding the question, but he did not hide his inner joy at all.
However, Jiang Laoliu and his group, who were detained at the entrance of the academy, were not in such a good mood. Even though Qi Ya and her group hurried, it still took them two hours to go back and forth.
During this period, God sent two rains specifically for the occasion.
Jiang Laoliu and his group were really tired, hungry, and wet. They felt really uncomfortable.
So when Jiang Laoliu saw Qiya and her mother and daughter coming empty-handed, he could no longer suppress his anger and he stepped forward and kicked Qiya's mother.
"Father, I..." Qiya's mother was kicked so hard that she curled up in pain.
Qi Ya was about to go forward to help, but was stopped by Yun Guo.
Yun Guo took a step forward and said, "Dad, my seventh sister and I will not be at home in the future. If you hurt Mom now, there will be no one to do the housework."
Jiang Laoliu was stunned when he heard the words, his face looked grim, but as Yun Guo expected, he stopped his foot that was about to kick out again.
At this point, Yun Guo no longer paid attention to her parents, but took her sister Qi Ya to Shuang Rui's side. "Thank you, brother Shuang Rui, take us to see the Madam!"
"Er Ya, Qi Yatou--" They were not always very nice to their daughters on weekdays, but when they saw that their daughters did not care about them at all, they felt uncomfortable. This was the case with Qi Ya's mother.
However, whether it is Yun Guo or Qi Ya, they will never look back.
Qi Yaniang seemed to sense something and wanted to stop the two of them to tell them about her difficulties, but was forcibly pulled away by Jiang Laoliu.
Although Chu Ci was not present, someone relayed the entire scene to her.
Hearing this, Qian Xi couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, are they too cold-blooded?"
Chu Ci understood Qian Xi's thoughts, which was also the view of most people in this era.
Chu Ci is powerless to change this era, and can only say: "Maybe, but I prefer to believe that they are forced to do so. After all, some people, even if someone tries to save them, will only drag the person who saves them into the quagmire."
