Chapter 151: Sign the Indenture

That’s right. Why am I following my brother and sister-in-law? To disturb them? I shouldn’t do that.

However, she felt something was amiss. After thinking for a long time, she finally understood and widened her eyes at her brother.

“Then I’ll… No, that’s not right. I have to go back up and take care of the children!”

Why else would I follow them up? The children are around. I have to take care of them. Who will take care of them if my sister-in-law is cooking?

My brother? Come on! It’s already good enough that he doesn’t despise them!

“Leave the children to me. Go and gut the deer,” Qian Jiyun instructed.

Qian Yiyun followed her brother’s gaze and looked at the spotted deer on the ground nearby. She could tell it was dead at a glance. The corners of her mouth twitched.

So did he come here with me to treat me like an assistant?

It’s good enough that I’m taking care of the children, but now I have to gut this animal too?

“Brother, am I still your biological sister?” she asked.

“If you aren’t my biological sister, would I let you gut the deer?” Qian Jiyun said and went upstairs.

Qian Yiyun was speechless.

Damn it! Did he think I would poison that deer?

Is there a brother who would diss his own sister like this? Why am I so unlucky!

However, she noticed her sister-in-law’s attitude towards her brother had changed a little today. She seemed to be… closer to him.

She decided to gut the deer. Her brother would be responsible for winning her sister-in-law back. She would do all the dirty work instead.

“Alright, I’ll do it.”

“Yan Nuo is nearby,” Qian Jiyun added before entering the treehouse.

“That’s more like it.” Qian Yiyun shrugged.

It would be much easier for her to gut the spotted deer with Yan Nuo around. After all, she now had an extra hand, right?

She had to find Yan Nuo quickly and gut the deer with him. She wanted to have some deer meat tonight. It must be delicious!

…

Aunt Wang was incredibly impatient.

In order to earn some money, she did not care about anything else. After returning home and discussing with her two sons, she sneaked out of the village with her eldest son at night.

As they were from An Clan Village, they knew the locations of everyone stationed for guard duty. No one noticed their departure.

They headed straight for Ministry Councilor He’s house and finally signed the indenture after some bargaining. They even stamped their fingerprints and signed their names, receiving 50 taels of silver.

The two parties agreed for the child to be taken away tomorrow morning.

As Aunt Wang and her eldest son went home, they wondered why Ministry Councilor He was still so generous as to offer 50 taels of silver to buy Zheng’er.

However, since they obtained the money, they could not think about anything else—not even whose child they actually indentured.

Although An Jiuyue’s child was from the same village, they had nothing to do with each other.

They took the silver happily and returned to the village secretly. When they entered the house, the family huddled in the room and started staring at the silver on the table.

An Da’s wife had never seen so much money before, and her eyes sparkled like diamonds.

“Mother, why don’t we keep all this money? We don’t have to give any to An Jiuyue, that little b*tch.”

She was unhappy when she remembered that a portion of the money would be given to An Jiuyue.
