Chapter 236 Redemption of the Body Contract

That night, Cao Wenxing stayed in Yang Lian'er's room and did not go to Mei'er's room for half a month. No matter what method Mei'er used, even if she said that the child was unwell, Cao Wenxing would just go over to take a look and then go back to Yang Lian'er's room to sleep.

One and a half months later, Yang Lian'er finally found out that she was pregnant.

She cried with joy. This period was the most comfortable time she had experienced since she married into the Cao family.

Thanks to Li Wanyue, I will bring some thank-you gifts next time to thank her.

Yanyue Garden

Li Wanyue, Old Man Shen and his wife, and Shen Yu were sitting in the garden playing mahjong.

Old man Shen said, "You guys are too slow, and the game is not fun. It's more comfortable to play cards with Dashan and the village chief."

"You look down on us, but we're not willing to fight you." Old Lady Shen snorted, then sighed: "It's too lonely with just the few of us. Yueyue, when can you let your family come and live here for a while, or we can move back home for a while, I miss Xiaolan and the other girls."

Shen Yu curled his lips: "Grandma, they are a newlywed couple, and you are forcing them to live apart. It's too cruel. Ah Yu will be angry if he knows about this."

"That's right." Old Mrs. Shen nodded.

Li Wanyue said, "Grandma, my parents are preparing for Sandong's wedding and don't have time to come and live here. When Sandong gets married, we'll bring them over to live here."

Old Lady Shen nodded and said, "Yueyue, you and Ayan should work harder and give me a baby as soon as possible, then I won't feel bored anymore."

Old Man Shen quickly replied, "That's fine. It would be best if you had two children. We can each take care of one. That way I'll have something to do."

Li Wanyue coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment. Is it okay to be so direct in urging the baby to have a baby?

Shen Yu looked gloating.

Then he couldn't laugh anymore.

Old man Shen said, "How dare you laugh? You are already an adult, but no girl has ever liked you. Don't you want to reflect on this? Ah Yan is married and will have a child soon, but your wife is nowhere to be found. You are such a loser."

Shen Yu: Why are you urging your kid to get married? Besides, is it because no girl likes him? It's him who doesn't like others.

If he meets a girl he loves, does he still need to wait for others to urge him?

Really.

Shen Yu wailed in his heart.

At this time, the gatekeeper came over and said, "Madam, there are two people outside looking for you. They say they are the Zhao brothers."

"Have someone wait in the front hall. I'll be right there."

The servant responded and hurried to bring people.

Li Wanyue said something to Mr. and Mrs. Shen and walked towards the front hall.

When they reached the front hall, Zhao Wenhu and Zhao Wenliang immediately stood up and called for help.

"Please sit down." Li Wanyue sat down in the main seat and raised her hand to signal the two of them.

Zhao Wenliang smiled and picked up the basket on the ground: "Cousin, we don't have anything to show off. When I came here, I saw some fresh fruits, so I bought some for you to try."

"Thank you. I really like eating this fruit." Li Wanyue then asked, "How come you have time to come here today?"

Zhao Wenhu smiled and said, "We have saved enough money to redeem our indentures, so we asked for leave from Manager Zhou and came here."

After saying that, they each took out ten taels of silver and put them on the table.

Zhao Wenhu sighed: "We were ignorant before and almost harmed our family. Now we know our mistakes and have corrected them. We will definitely live a down-to-earth life in the future."

The last time Li Wanyue met Manager Zhou, she also asked him about the two of them. Manager Zhou praised them a lot, saying that they had made great progress, learned quickly, and could now do the work of skilled workers.

She asked Qingqi to go to the dormitory, get the box containing the documents, and find the "indenture" of the two.

This deed was only used to scare the two people at the time. Their names were not written on it, let alone being filed with the government.

The two men were illiterate, so they didn't know the contents of the contract. In addition, they were afraid at the time, so they just pressed their fingerprints.

Li Wanyue asked them to take a look and make sure it was the one they signed, then handed it to them.

The Zhao brothers' eyes were filled with tears when they took the deeds. For such a long time, they had been living in fear, afraid that people would know that they were slaves and look down upon them. Now they could finally hold their heads up again.

"Thank you, cousin. If you hadn't helped us at that time, we don't know what would have happened."

Li Wanyue asked: "What do you want to do in the future? Do you want to continue to stay with Manager Zhou, or go home and work?"

The two looked at each other, and Zhao Wenhu said, "We want to work for Manager Zhou first. After we finish working for one household, we can rest for two days, and we can also go home. Everything is fine at home now, and we can handle the work."

"Okay, have you eaten yet? I'll have someone prepare some food so we can eat together."

The two of them waved their hands, and Zhao Wenliang said, "We just asked for a short leave, and we have to go back to work. Cousin, you are also very busy, so we are sorry to bother you."

"Okay, come and play whenever you're free."

The two of them then left. After they walked out of the door, they breathed a sigh of relief. This wealthy family was really scary. Even though Li Wanyue was their cousin, they were so nervous.

They took out their indentures and tore them to pieces, and then they were free again.

Bluestone Town

That day, Li Shuangshuang and her second brother drove a ox cart to the town to set up a stall, while the other members of the Li family were busy working in the fields.

They made money last year and bought a cow after the Chinese New Year.

Li Shuangshuang sells cold noodles and pancakes in Qingshi Town. The pancake idea was also given to her by Li Wanyue. The pancakes are made with soybean flour, mung bean flour and white flour to make the sauce. This saves a lot of cost and the pancakes taste good and are very popular.

Li Shuangshuang's second brother went to the next town to set up a stall.

Li Shuangshuang is very familiar with the stalls and shops nearby. If she encounters any problems, she can ask Fanghua Pavilion and Zuixianju for help, so the second brother of the Li family is also relieved.

That day, Li Shuangshuang had just finished her work when Liu Zhaocai and his mother suddenly came to her.

Liu Zhaocai said in a flattering manner: "Shuangshuang, are you tired? Why don't I help you?"

Li Shuangshuang frowned and looked at him: "No, don't call my name, we are no longer related. If you come to buy something, pay for it. If you don't want to buy anything, leave. Don't delay my business."

Liu Zhaocai said shamelessly: "Shuangshuang, it was all my fault before. I shouldn't have treated you like that. I promise to treat you well in the future. Can we still live like before? Then tear up the divorce agreement."

Li Shuangshuang was so angry at his shamelessness that she laughed: "Liu Zhaocai, you have forgotten the circumstances under which you divorced, but I haven't. Go back and live a good life with your widow Chen, and don't bother with me."

"Are you jealous? You still have me in your heart. That widow Chen is no match for you. I was also deceived by her at that time. I felt sorry for her, so I helped her a few more times. I didn't expect that she took the opportunity to seduce me and made me do something wrong. I have already driven her away. Really, if you don't believe me, you can go back with me and take a look."

The widow Chen said at the time that she was pregnant with a son and behaved docilely and obediently in front of him. However, there has been no peace in the family since she entered the Liu family.
