He thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "To answer your question, Madam, of course I hate them! Their actions are so vicious, disregarding kinship and propriety, I wish I could kill them!"
But we know our place, and we may never have the chance for revenge in this lifetime. Right now, we just want to live well, and we dare not harbor any resentment.
Cheng Yue then asked, "If you had the chance to take revenge, what would you do?"
She was indeed quite satisfied with the twin brothers, but if they were only filled with hatred, or if they were to make a grave mistake in their quest for revenge, they might even implicate her. Therefore, she had to find out the truth.
The boy was even more surprised upon hearing this. He exchanged a blank glance with his younger brother beside him. They had never considered it if given the chance…
But there's one thing they won't do: "If we ever get a chance to take revenge, we'll devise a plan to make them pay for it. We'll never ruin ourselves for them."
Although they didn't know if they would have the chance, or what they should do if they did, they were very clear that even if that day came, they wouldn't dirty their hands.
It's not worth ruining your life for those scumbags. They live so hard not to be buried with them.
Cheng Yue was finally relieved. Although the two were teenagers and harbored hatred, they were clear-headed and not blinded by hatred. They knew what they should and shouldn't do.
She looked at Chen An, who nodded in agreement, clearly satisfied.
Even Liang Hongyu gave Cheng Yue a meaningful look, saying how clear-headed this child was, and how different it was to have been educated.
If she were buying people for her own family, she would definitely choose someone like this first.
What's there to hate? Those uncles and relatives are so wicked, they don't even deserve to be human. Stabbing them a few times would be too lenient.
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Tiger, let's go with the two of them. How much silver?"
The two boys showed no surprise. They had been sold several times before and didn't think much of it. After all, it didn't matter who they were sold to, and no one would treat them like human beings anyway.
However, they didn't understand the meaning of Cheng Yue's questions, nor did they know what kind of people Cheng Yue and her companions were; they just seemed quite easygoing.
They just hoped they wouldn't be beaten or verbally abused anymore; they didn't dare hope for anything else...
Tiger breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Boss Cheng, to be honest, three or five taels would be enough for an ordinary servant."
But these are all educated men, so the price will naturally be higher, it will be ten taels. If you think that's reasonable, we can sign the contract now.”
These are all newcomers, registered with the boss. Ten taels is the base price, but according to the boss, the minimum price should be twelve taels.
After all, someone who has received an education will not have trouble finding a buyer.
Having bought people before, Liang Hongyu naturally knew what was going on, so she nodded to Cheng Yue, who understood and immediately agreed.
After spending a month together, she came to understand Liang Hongyu's character; she was very honest and wouldn't cheat her.
She originally only wanted to buy one, since the pastry shop was a small place with little work to do, just selling goods and cleaning, which was enough for one person.
Unlike a braised food shop, where you have to process chickens and ducks, braise them, sell them, and keep accounts, three people are just right.
But plans can't always keep up with changes; what can you expect when you run into a couple like that!
Tiger dismissed the other boys, beckoned to his twin brothers, and led Cheng Yue and her group to sign the contract.
After all the procedures were completed, Hu Zi said, "Boss Cheng, you can take your men and leave now. I'll handle things with the government. I'll deliver the receipts to your shop later."
Cheng Yue smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you for making the trip."
"No trouble at all!"
With the deal settled, Tiger finally smiled, mainly because Cheng Yue's polite attitude made him feel very comfortable.
This service is so much more pleasant than those people who think they're above everyone else; just thinking about it makes me angry.
After they finished talking, Hu Zi went to the government office, while Cheng Yue and the others took the twin brothers back to the shop.
Liang Hongyu gracefully withdrew from the business and went back to her shop to continue eating melon seeds. Cheng Yue thought she would thank her again tomorrow, so she didn't say anything.
The group went directly to the backyard, where Chen Lin and the other two were making braised food.
Seeing Cheng Yue and the others return, they thought something had happened and quickly asked, "Mom, why didn't you come home? Is there anything else you want to tell us?"
“We just came back from the brokerage. The two brothers will stay at the shop to sell pastries from now on. They will live and eat with you, discuss things together, and take care of each other.”
The two brothers followed behind, while Cheng Yue and Chen An walked in front. If Cheng Yue hadn't stepped aside, Chen Lin and the others wouldn't have seen them at all.
The three of them, with blank expressions, replied, "Okay!"
They were actually buying people! They couldn't quite wrap their heads around it. In their eyes, it was good enough that peasants didn't have to serve others!
But thinking about it again, since it was Cheng Yue who bought the person, it makes sense.
Chen Lin scratched his face. His family had servants? That was terrifying!
The twins stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Greetings, young master!"
Chen Lin had just called Cheng Yueniang, so she must be the young master. They didn't know who the other two were, so they just bowed and didn't say anything.
This startled Chen Lin quite a bit, and he said with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, "From now on, we'll be working together in the shop, so why are you calling me 'Young Master'..."
Chen Tong and Chen Ning pursed their lips, suppressing a laugh. Cheng Yue also laughed, but didn't object to the nickname. Without rules, there can be no order; call them whatever you want.
He asked the two people, "What are your names?"
The twins were taken aback, and instinctively replied, "My name is Aping, and my brother's name is Asheng. These were the names given to us by our previous owners. If you do not like them, madam, please give us your own names."
Cheng Yue said gently, "You can keep your names from now on, just change them back."
It's just a name. To the brothers who call it, it's just a label. But to the two brothers who are called by that name, it might be the only thing that truly belongs to them.
Sure enough, the twins' breathing became heavy, their vision immediately blurred, and they knelt down, their foreheads thumping loudly as they kowtowed, "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Young Master and Miss!"
They didn't really have any expectations, and their names were like something from a distant memory. They had changed their names several times, but they could never find their own names again.
However, Cheng Yue actually asked them to change their names back to their original names. This was the only thing their parents had left them. They had never dared to dream of such a thing in their lives, but suddenly it became a reality. How could they not be extremely grateful?
Hearing that voice, Cheng Yue felt a headache coming on and quickly helped the two of them up with Chen An. "Get up, get up!"
"If you end up working at the shop and you break your head, how will you face anyone?"
The twins wiped away their tears, looked at each other in bewilderment, but since the lady had spoken, they had no choice but to nod. A disobedient servant is not a good servant.
He continued, "Master, Madam, my name is Ren Laixing, and my younger brother's name is Ren Laiwang."
