This guy's gotten addicted to borrowing money!
When Su Murong heard that Yang Cui wanted to borrow money again, her lips twitched, but for the sake of Cen Xiao and Fentiao, she didn't refuse in the end.
When the villagers heard that Yang Cui had actually lent twenty taels of silver to help the Wang sisters, they were all dumbfounded.
Madam Wen quickly stopped her: "Xiao Cui, what are you doing? That's twenty taels, not twenty coins!"
Seeing this, Chen Sumei was afraid that Yang Cui would change her mind, so she immediately kowtowed and said, "Xiaocui, I'll pay you back! I'll do anything for you! Please, please!"
At this moment, Zhang Chuntao stepped forward, looking very righteous: "Sister-in-law, look how pitiful Ximei and Xile are! What's wrong with Xiaocui helping them if she has the ability? They're all from the same village, and besides, they're both working for Yang Cui. It's one thing that we're too poor to help, but why won't you let someone with money help them? Are you really going to watch those two sisters end up in a brothel? You're so heartless!"
Does having better conditions mean you should help others? There aren't that many things in this world that are taken for granted.
Hearing this, Yang Cui was extremely glad that she hadn't directly handed over her money, otherwise she didn't know how much moral blackmail she would have encountered.
Madam Wen was furious at Zhang Chuntao's words: "Zhang Chuntao, you're talking like you don't know what's going on! Twenty taels of silver! Are you going to help pay it back?"
"Be kind!"
"Kindness? Ha! You think you can show your kindness by using other people's money? You're dreaming! If you're so kind, why don't you give them a meal? Didn't you want to take their jobs before?" Wen brought up the incident where Zhang Chuntao tried to take Chen Sumei's job.
Zhang Chuntao was furious.
"Alright, Aunt, stop talking. I have my own plans." Yang Cui comforted Madam Wen, then said to Chen Sumei, "If we buy these two sisters today, they will be part of the Yang family from now on. They will live and eat in my house, without wages, and I will decide their marriages..."
"I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you..." Chen Sumei had no objections at all, because she knew that Yang Cui was not a mean person and would certainly not mistreat her daughter. She also knew that if her daughter was taken away by these people, the only place she would go would be a brothel!
Once you step into a brothel, your life is ruined!
"What are you listening to?" Wang Dachun kicked Chen Sumei. "Which household's maids and servants don't get their monthly pay?"
Wang Dachun panicked when he heard there was no pay, as he was counting on the two sisters to earn some money each month to support him!
Wang Dachun said to Yang Cui, "Xiaocui, you can't take advantage of people and withhold their monthly allowance just because the child is young!"
“I’m the master. If I say no, then no. If you’re not happy, you don’t have to sell her. You want to sell your daughter to pay off your gambling debts, and you also want your daughter to earn money to support you every month. You’re really dreaming,” Yang Cui mocked. “Being your daughter is the worst luck imaginable.”
Yang Cui looked at Chen Sumei and said, "If there are no problems, let's sign a contract of servitude, effective immediately."
Wang Dachun was unhappy. Where was he going to get money if he didn't get a monthly allowance? Wang Dachun wanted to stand up and stop him, but Cen Xiao put his hand on his shoulder and said, "I think this is fine. You—you said that?"
It seemed unintentional, but only Wang Dachun knew that Cen Xiao was almost crushing his shoulder, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat: "Fine...fine..."
Subsequently, in front of the entire village, Yang Cui paid the money, and Chen Sumei and Wang Dachun also signed indentures, officially making the Wang sisters servants of Yang Cui's household.
"Thank you, Xiao Cui, thank you." Chen Sumei kowtowed several times to Yang Cui. "Xi Mei and Xi Le, come here quickly and kowtow to your sister Cui... to your master."
"Get up quickly. You don't need to change how you address them from now on. Just keep calling them the same way you used to. You just need to focus on your work." Yang Cui helped the people up.
"We will definitely work hard and won't slack off," Wang Ximei and Wang Xile assured each other.
"There is no place for you to stay at home right now. You can stay at your own home for now, and I will arrange a place for you to stay later."
Yang Cui's house is currently too small to accommodate everyone, so they can only wait until her family builds a new house or Cen Xiao leaves and they can move into the house in Lin'an Village.
After the matter was settled, the parties involved left, but the onlookers were still discussing it, debating how much money Yang Cui had and how much she could earn, otherwise why would she dare to lend twenty taels to save Wang Xile and Wang Ximei?
"It's getting late, Miss Yang. Don't forget what you promised." Before leaving, Su Murong reminded Yang Cui.
Yang Cui smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Young Master Su."
Seeing Su Murong getting into the carriage to leave, Zhang Chuntao immediately ran over with An Xiuping, her face full of ingratiating smiles: "Young Master Su, are you going back now? Come visit us often in the future."
Yang Cui was speechless when she saw Zhang Chuntao like this.
Su Murong simply ignored it.
However, Zhang Chuntao didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she called out loudly to the carriage that had already started moving, "Young Master Su, please be careful on your journey."
Yang Cui: "..."
Only after the carriage had disappeared from sight did Zhang Chuntao call out to Yang Cui with a smile: "Xiaocui, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Of course it's a happy occasion! Hahaha." Zhang Chuntao couldn't stop laughing. "It's about your sister Xiuping's marriage."
"Xiuping is getting engaged? Congratulations!"
"Not so fast, it's only just begun. If you're willing to help, then your sister's marriage is a sure thing."
How can I help?
"It's Young Master Su! He's taken a liking to our Xiuping! I think..."
"Pfft!" Yang Cui spat out a mouthful of water. "What did you say? You said that Young Master Su has taken a fancy to Xiuping?"
