Liu Qinghuan asked Ye Heng to go back first, but Ye Heng insisted on waiting with her.
If she hadn't been worried and afraid to hand this matter over to Ye Heng, Ye Heng would have just asked them to take the girl back, and she would have gone back long ago.
In the middle of the day, he stood at his doorstep like a fool.
After waiting for a while, the man who went back to get the deed came running over panting and handed the deed to the man called Fourth Brother.
"Madam, here is the indenture, please take a look."
The fourth brother handed the indenture contract to Liu Qinghuan and took the silver from her hand.
"Thank you, ma'am. We'll take our leave now."
The fourth brother waved his hand, and the three of them completely broke free from Ziyun's confinement.
After they left, Liu Qinghuan brought them into the house.
As they walked, he explained, "We just moved in, and we're in need of someone to clean the house. From now on, you'll be responsible for cleaning the yard inside and out. You won't have to worry about the other houses, just tidying up the yard and doing some laundry."
"The side yard is full of valuable things, and they're under guard. Don't go there unless you have anything to do. Otherwise, even if you sell yourself, you won't be able to afford the compensation."
"Yes, master." Ziyun trembled when he heard the word 'sell again'. He lowered his head and followed Liu Qinghuan into the backyard with her.
Yu Niang and her two children lived in a large room with a hall in the middle and east and west rooms on both sides.
There were two bunk beds next to it, and Liu Qinghuan pointed to the one in the middle.
"You can live in this room. It's been unoccupied for a long time. Please clean it up yourself first."
Ziyun nodded and pushed the door open with a creak. Because it was a servant's room and had not been cleaned for a long time, there was a lot of dust inside.
Liu Qinghuan went back to find some copper coins, two sets of old clothes, and some external injury medicine prescribed by Doctor Xu, and gave them to Ziyun.
"Please change out of these clothes first. I see you're injured, so remember to apply some medicine. Also, when you're done cleaning up, take this money and buy some bedding. I have some food here, and I'll bring some to you later."
Ziyun's eyes were red: "Thank you, Master."
"If you work hard in the future, you'll have a peaceful life. But let me be frank. I saved you today on a whim. But if you don't do your job well in the future, or if you develop ulterior motives, I can sell you off."
"Yes, I understand." Ziyun's eyes flashed and she lowered her head.
After Liu Qinghuan finished his explanation, he glanced at Ziyun and went to find Ye Heng.
The two children had eaten their fill long ago and had gone to play in the vegetable patch. Rural children have known how to take care of crops and vegetables since they were young, and they said they wanted to help catch pests.
Only Ye Heng was still violently inhaling the food on the table - he had only eaten half of it.
Liu Qinghuan picked out a dish that Ye Heng disliked the most, and after only a few chopsticks, he filled a bowl with rice.
Ye Heng stared at the dish in Liu Qinghuan's hand.
"Don't you like mushrooms?"
Liu Qinghuan was helpless. This guy was quite protective of his food. Even if he didn't like it, he couldn't take it away.
"You're giving it to Ziyun?" Ye Heng didn't really like mushrooms, but he wasn't picky.
"Yeah." Liu Qinghuan nodded and glanced outside the door.
He leaned close to Ye Heng's ear and whispered, "You will..."
After listening to this, Ye Heng glanced at Liu Qinghuan and nodded: "Okay."
"Please."
Liu Qinghuan went out with the food for Ziyun. Ye Heng looked at her back and touched his hot ears. The girl's fragrance seemed to still linger in his nostrils.
Ye Heng decided to eat another bowl of rice to calm down.
