"Okay. Yaoyao will follow her brother. Wherever her brother goes, Yaoyao will go."
Upon seeing this, Mu Run jumped down from the roof.
Her sudden appearance startled the brother and sister.
"Are you Qiaoyu's younger brother and sister?" Mu Run asked.
"Who are you?" Wang Yaozong immediately shielded Yao Yao behind him.
Mu Run said, "Qiaoyu and I both work as maids in the Grand Commandant's mansion. My name is Hualing."
Upon hearing Mu Run's identity, Wang Yaozong immediately knelt down before her with a thud, pleading, "Please, sister, don't tell her about us."
"Then why did you go to her to ask for money?"
Wang Yaozong fell silent.
Yao Yao then said, "It's to treat my leg. My brother has been working so hard. He only sleeps for an hour each day and spends the rest of his time looking for work. Besides the gambling debts that Father owes, he also has to treat my leg. If it weren't for my brother, I would have died long ago."
Mu Run looked at the steamed bun in her hand, took out two pieces of osmanthus cake that Qiao Yu had given her from his sleeve pocket, and handed them to Yao Yao.
Yao Yao looked at the osmanthus cake and wanted to eat it, but she didn't take it.
"Eat it, it was originally given to me by your sister Qiaoyu."
“She has plenty to eat, you eat.” Wang Yaozong took the osmanthus cake from Mu Run’s hand, gave it to Yao Yao, and then thanked Mu Run again.
Mu Run asked, "What happened? Where is the rest of your family?"
Wang Yaozong then spoke up, "It's just me and Yaoyao, there's no one else."
It turns out that Qiaoyu's father had become addicted to gambling, and the increasingly better life he had been living with Qiaoyu's help was quickly squandered.
Qiaoyu's mother was so angry that she fell seriously ill. In addition, she was pregnant with her seventh child, but before the child was born, the mother and child passed away together.
The debt collectors came to the house, smashed everything they could, beat two of his younger brothers to death, and kidnapped two of his younger sisters.
His father also suffered a head injury in the fight and unexpectedly caught a cold, and passed away a few days later.
Wang Yaozong was working outside at the time, so he escaped a disaster. But when he returned, the debt collectors immediately came to his door, gave him the IOU written by his father, and emptied him of all his money.
His two younger brothers died, and he had two younger sisters. So he went to find the villain who had kidnapped his sisters, got beaten up, and learned that they had been sold into a brothel.
The eldest sister, Xiangmiao, had already committed suicide by hitting her head against a wall because she refused to serve the customers. The youngest sister, Yaoyao, was still young and escaped serving the customers, but the madam made her work in the kitchen doing all sorts of dirty and tiring work, and she also suffered a lot of foul language from the customers.
In an unexpected turn of events, a drunken customer went berserk and not only killed the prostitute who served him, but also cut off the leg of the maid who served them...
Yao Yao was crippled, and the madam was too lazy to spend money to treat her, so she simply threw her out of the brothel to fend for herself.
Just then, Wang Yaozong came to see Yaoyao, saving her life. However, treating her leg would cost a lot of money.
Wang Yaozong went to find Qiaoyu, who had just received ten taels of silver from Murun.
With the money, Yao Yao was saved.
The local constable who robbed him was also one of his father's creditors. Compared to the others, he was better; at least he didn't drive him to the brink of despair. Perhaps he was afraid of the fact that the constable had an older sister who worked in the Grand Commandant's mansion.
"Tell me the names of those gambling dens, their locations, and their hidden entrances," Mu Run said to Wang Yaozong.
Wang Yaozong looked at Mu Run in surprise, "Sister Hua Ling, why do you want their names?"
Mu Run despises these bullies who prey on the weak and oppressed, "Of course, we'll make sure they never see the sun rise tomorrow!"
