mediately fell on Zong Yu. The two met each other's gaze, and Zong Yu's eyes were bright with a smile.She only cared about Zongyu's opinion of her lunch.But looking at this, it's obvious she was satis...Chunlan was dumbfounded. She never expected that the honest and simple Tiezhu had never harbored any romantic feelings for her.

She gave him a disbelieving look. "I don't believe it, Tiezhu ge, are you angry that I lied to you so you're saying this"

"I have no choice, really. Autumn Chrysanthemum and I just moved to the village. We haven't eaten or had a place to stay, nor do we have any farmland. If we don't find someone to help us, we won't be able to survive."

If Chunlan wanted to say this, the one with the most right to speak would undoubtedly be Xiaoyue.

She said angrily, "Didn't Jinxiu say she would help you It was you who didn't know what was good for you and refused."

“If you hadn’t made such a fuss, Sister Jinxiu had originally planned to prepare food and drinks for you. After the irrigation canal is dug, she would also send you seeds and take care of you until you are self-sufficient.”

It's a pity, you're too greedy. You have all sorts of thoughts in your head and don't even speak of them, yet you insult Jin Yu as well.

"You deserve what you got today."

Fang Jinshi nodded silently. This Xiaoyue was indeed more calm and collected than Jin Yu, and her words were also to her liking.

Chunlan bit her lip, "Who saved the person back wants to have others be their slaves!"

"For someone like Fang Jinshui, for her to make you stay and force you to sign a contract of indentured servitude, does she really think this is a good thing"

Xiao Yue smiled, "Sister Jinxiu, how is she Signing a selling contract for ourselves - isn't that a good thing for us We know best."

"What makes you think this isn't a good thing"

"What more could we women, who are abandoned and have nothing, possibly desire"

How often do we eat together Do you miss our lively family meals

The villagers weren't fools. Hearing Xiaoyue's words, they gradually began to see Chunlan in a new light.

"I said this thing was pretty strange. Fang Jinshu rescued so many people, why just these two girls came to live in the village."

"Yeah, just the other day Zhao was complaining all the time, saying Fang Jinxiu had caused trouble for their family and that after saving her, she wasn't responsible and brought nothing but misfortune upon them."

"It seems now, it wasn't that Fang Jinshu didn't care at all. It was these two girls who didn't know what was good for them!"

"I think so too."

"What's the use of a sold-out contract If there was a good family right now who would feed and clothe me, give me clean clothes and a place to live, I wouldn't just sign a contract to work for them. Even if I had to be a cow or a horse, I'd do it."

"These days, going out alone isn't a path to survival, is it"

Xiao Yue, hearing the villagers' words, still turned back to add something.

"Sister Jinxiu didn't force us to sign a selling contract. She said that if we didn't want to stay, she could help us find a place to settle in the village."

"Provide us with food, drink, and seeds for planting until we can support ourselves."

Even in times of peace and prosperity, it would be difficult to find someone as good as Sister Jinxiu.

She turned her head coldly, her eyes filled with a hint of anger, and pointed at Chunlan.

But Chunlan didn't know any better. Not only did she insult Jinxiu at her dinner table, but she also called me and Chunlan spineless.

"You have some backbone, refusing to sign a servitude contract and remain in the family. You spent all that backbone putting medicine in a man's food, didn't you"

Fang Jinxiu almost couldn't help but applaud Xiaoyue after hearing this.

This little girl's acting, when she's being sarcastic, is really something else. She knows how to speak her mind!

She likes girls like that, who have their own personalities wherever they go and won't be bullied easily.

"You! You're talking nonsense!" Chunlan's last shred of modesty had been ripped away by Xiaoyue.

In a fit of anger, she lost her composure and blurted out such words, pointing at Xiaoyue.

“You, a slut who has been played by three or four men, what qualifications do you have to insult me!”

Hearing this, Fang Jinshu's face nearly turned white with shock. She was so angry she almost wanted to slap this shameless and utterly inhuman wretch right against the wall.

Even though Xiaoyue tried to be strong, she was still a young woman. The memory of being held captive by bandits was something she never wanted to think about again for the rest of her life.

However, Chunlan, who had also suffered the same treatment, suddenly exposed it without warning.

Not only was Xiaoyue affected, but even Qiujing, who wasn't far away, turned pale. She seemed to have just met this good friend for the first time, so angry that her whole body trembled.

"You, Chunlan, you've gone too far!" just because Mu Jin said a few scare words.“I just saw you come out from the Marquis’s room. We are both second-class maids in this main courtyard. Why can you go in to serve the Marquis while I can'...
