"Wait! I'm free now, I'll open the door right away." Sure enough, the gate opened quickly, and Wang Dahua stood in front of them with an awkward smile and a round face.

The village chief demanded, "How are you going to deal with this matter of you defaming my reputation?"

Wang Dahua said, "I'm sorry, village chief! I just spoke without restraint and said nonsense. You are the best village chief. I was just angry and my brain was hot. I deserve to be slapped!" After saying that, he lightly slapped his mouth twice.

The village chief didn't want to waste time arguing with this shrewish woman, so he said directly: "This young man wants to buy Chunwa and Qiuya, and the two children have agreed."

"No! I don't agree. If they both leave, who will do the housework?" Wang Dahua immediately retorted.

"Didn't you say that raising them would mean they would eat for free? Why are you unwilling to do so now?" asked the village chief.

Wang Dahua rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, these two kids are just wild kids who grew up in the countryside. They can't pollute your eyes. How could they know how to serve others?"

Qibao waved his fan and said, "It's okay. If you don't know how, you can teach them. However, I think they are quite good at serving people. Look, they've taken care of you so that you don't have to do anything yourself, right?"

Wang Dahua's face turned red and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chun Wa, who was standing by, immediately shouted loudly, "Auntie, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! Are you planning to sell my sister to a brothel owner so that Dabao can find a wife? Are you?"

When Wang Dahua heard this, her face changed and she cursed angrily: "You bastard, how dare you talk to your aunt like that? When did I say I would sell your sister to the madam? Don't think that you can make up stories about me just because the village chief and this young man are here to support you. I will beat you to death!" After Wang Dahua pinched her waist and said this, she was about to raise her hand to slap Chunwa.

Qibao pulled Chunwa away and stood in front of Wang Dahahua, looking at her with contempt. If she dared to slap her, she would lose her hand.

Wang Dahua also paused at the right time, and had to withdraw his hand, smiling awkwardly: "Young Master, look at what he said. He can even say such words to slander his elders. If you buy it back, he will definitely ride on your head!"

Chunwa's face flushed with anger. He was afraid that Qibao would refuse to have him and his sister because of his aunt's words, and that their future lives would be even more miserable than before. He said bitterly, "I clearly heard you say that to Dabao in your room. If I lied, I'll be struck by lightning. Aunt, can you swear that you didn't say such a thing?"

"I am your elder! Why do I need to swear an oath with you? You evil creature who disrespects elders, be careful or God will really strike you to death with lightning!" Wang Dahua shouted.

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you are unwilling to sell these brother and sister to this young master?" said the village chief.

Wang Dahua rolled her eyes and said, "Then I'll be frank. I can tell from the looks of it that this young man is the son of a wealthy family. What if these two siblings get blinded by him and come back to take revenge on me?"

The village chief snorted coldly, "Are you still afraid of retaliation? If you had been nicer to them, these two children wouldn't have volunteered to sell themselves. It's all because of you."

Wang Dahua was speechless.

Qibao didn't want to waste any more words with her and said, "Did I think I would waste my time on you? Don't worry, I will never help these two siblings deal with you, and I will never have anything to do with you in the future."

Wang Dahua said, "Young Master, you are right. You are a man of great achievements. How could you argue with me for a servant? Right?"

Qibao nodded and smiled sarcastically. She certainly would not cause trouble for Wang Dahua. However, whether the brother and sister would come back for revenge in the future depended entirely on them. After all, some grudges could only be taken personally, so she would not interfere.

Wang Dahua was simply afraid that the brother and sister would gain power. She had abused them so much in the past and was afraid they would retaliate against her. Now, she thought that no master would lower himself to help a servant avenge his father. So, she asked, "How much do you plan to pay to buy them off?"

Qibao said, "Ten taels."

Wang Dahua said, "Ten taels? Sir, are you kidding me? That's too little! I won't sell it for less than sixteen taels!"

Qibao said, "Well, then, Village Chief, go report this to the police now. I will definitely testify for you about how Wang Dahua framed you."

The village chief didn't want Wang Dahua to take advantage, so he cooperated and said, "Okay, sir, I'll go right away. I'm still angry!"

Seeing the village chief turning around to leave, Wang Dahua immediately said anxiously, "Village chief, why are you speaking for an outsider? Don't forget that you are the village chief of our Lianhua Village. How can you be so rude?"

The village chief said, "Do you know I'm the village chief now? Why didn't you think about me when you framed me? That's enough! You've tortured Qiuya to the point of being on the verge of death. It's hard to say whether she's still alive or not. The young master still has to spend money to find a doctor to see her. Logically, the young master is the one who's at a loss!"

"This..." Wang Dahua knew that she had been a bit harsh. Moreover, the half of the cake she had given to the girl yesterday was snatched by her son to feed the dog. She hadn't eaten for two days and had to do so much work every day. If she really lost her life, would she go to jail? The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. So she said, "Okay, then I'll take a small loss and sell it to you for ten taels. You don't know that Chunwa is very strong and can do a lot of work. I will definitely serve you well."

Qibao didn't say anything nonsense. He took out the pen and ink from the cloth bag hanging on Xiong Da's body and began to write the indenture.
