Wait for me, and watch me fight my way back to the reincarnation path

She looked at the paper in her hand and counted the number of people. Something was wrong. Three people were missing.

"Is there anyone else here? There are three more?"

“…dead”

Douhua looked at those women, then turned to Qin Qiong and said, "When I first came here, that old witch was nothing! She didn't treat people as human beings at all. She asked people to pick her up in the morning and evening... but she didn't even treat the patients."

"I saw two... Later, I went to tell her that it would be useless no matter how many people came in, we would all die, and then she..."

"Okay, stop talking"

Qin Qiong didn't want to listen any more.

She felt that letting the old beggar woman die like that was a great relief for her.

She looked at the paper in her hand again and asked the woman who said she didn't know, "How can you not know how it came about?"

"I, I don't have a name. They all call me Hua'er. I don't know how it came about. I used to beg for food from my brothers."

"One day, a brother gave me some wine to drink, and when I woke up, I was here... It was over... Dong Er said I was sold and couldn't leave, so..."

Qin Qiong felt really bad when he looked at this woman who seemed to be the youngest among the group.

This group of women may have been living in an abnormal state for a long time. They all look to be in their thirties, but from the way they speak, one can tell that they are actually not that old. This shows what the Dong mother and son did to them.

They are not good-looking and have thin bodies, pale faces, greasy hair and lipstick. They look more like zombies in early Hong Kong ghost movies, the kind that can be easily beaten to pieces.

Qin Qiong sighed, folded the stack of papers in his hand, placed it directly on the oil lamp on the table and lit it.

Everyone in the room was shocked, and they all looked at the stack of paper in amazement as it burned.

Qin Qiong turned around and saw Aunt Mei nodding at her with a somewhat happy smile. Qin Qiong felt better.

"Okay, look, I have burned your indentures. From now on, you are free. Although I bought this place, I will not be here. So, go back and think about where you want to go. Or maybe you want to visit your family or something, it's all up to you."

"Come and talk to me tomorrow. I'll help if I can. If I can't, there's nothing I can do."

"So, okay, you guys go back and have some rest. Think carefully about the future... Anyway, that Dong guy won't come back, don't worry."

Qin Qiong made a happy closing statement.

"Then, then my child..."

Douhua might be the one among them who has seen the world, and she truly knows the meaning of that piece of paper.

"Of course, you are all free now, you can take the child and leave. Raise him well, you deserve his respect."

Qin Qiong said to Douhua.

This woman really did everything for her child. Qin Qiong admired her for this.

"Wow! Woohoo!..."

Douhua started crying.

Her action immediately inspired all the women in the room. Almost at the same time, they hugged each other and cried, and even Aunt Mei and the scarred woman beside them started crying.

Seeing their expressions, Qin Qiong didn't know what to say. After thinking about their experiences, she understood. So she had to wait for them to finish crying. She had no right to speak, so she could only wait.

However, when she turned her head, she saw three heads sticking out from the crack in the door, looking this way. They were the two children inside and Daixiang.

It is not good for children to see these things. Qin Qiong nudged Uncle Qin on his right with his arm, wanting him to go and talk to him.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw that this person was crying even harder, but he didn't cry out loud.

Qin Qiong couldn't help sweating, because she was the only one in the room who had a heart of stone.

After a while, the women stopped crying. Qin Qiong explained her meaning again, and the women said they understood. They would explain it to the boss tomorrow.

Finally they went back, and Qin Qiong turned around and asked the woman with the scar.

"What's wrong with you? You just cooked for them? Your face…"

The woman immediately came forward and knelt down.

She said excitedly: "Boss Qin, thank you! Please let me go! I don't have an indenture, but I have a promissory note. They forced me to sign it."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Qin Qiong turned to Aunt Mei, who searched in the small box and took out a few pieces of paper and handed them over.

Qin Qiong took a look and thought...

She simply spread it on the table and motioned for the woman to find it herself.

The woman came up quickly, found a piece of paper from the documents, looked at it, and handed it to Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong smiled and returned it to her.

"Take it back. I'm not a member of the Dong family. I have no use for it. From today on, you don't owe anyone anything."

"thanks, thanks!"

The woman knelt down again, but raised her head and whispered, "Then... my house deed?"

"Ah! There's also a title deed? Is this house yours?"

"No, no! This is not the yard you just came from."

Qin Qiong blinked and looked back at Aunt Mei and Uncle Qin.

Then he turned around and asked her, "No, what's going on? You've already given the house to someone else, so why do you still have a promissory note?"

"I...I, last year my father was ill and needed money for medicine, so Dong's mother agreed to lend me the money, saying that it was because my father was a gentleman and they respected him..."

"But, I didn't expect that as soon as my father died, they came to collect the debt, and they charged high interest. But at the beginning, they didn't tell me what the interest rate would be. I gave them the deed, but they said it was not enough and insisted that I... I refused, so they scratched my face."

"Ah? How dare they! Just, no one cares? Why don't you sue? The government won't do anything?"

Uncle Qin scolded loudly.

"We don't have officials here. If I want to file a complaint, I have to go to the capital. But as a woman, how can I go so far? Besides, they won't let me out."

The woman bowed her head and sobbed.

"Then, isn't there a village head here? No one in this neighborhood is speaking up?"

Qin Qiong frowned.

"You don't know, this Dong Da is a nuisance to us. I heard that he served in the army when he was young, and he also worked in that mine. I don't know how he ended up killing someone, and the government came to arrest him, but they couldn't catch him. Since then, he has not returned home to live."

"If anyone in this town offends his family, he will go and cause trouble for them at night. Now most of the men in this town are working in the mine. If there is no man at home, who wouldn't be afraid of him? So..."

"and after?"

Qin Qiong asked.

"I scratched my face, and the bastard mother and son said that they would still do it even if I covered my face..."

"In the end, it was Mr. Gao who interceded for me, saying that if I was forced to death, I would lose both my money and my life, so he asked me to do some work and slowly pay them back. So, I cooked for them, did their laundry, and so on."

"That's it..."

Qin Qiong rummaged through the box again and found a house deed.

"Ah, I found it. Your last name is Zhang, right? Here you go."

The woman reached out her hand to take it gratefully, but suddenly Qin Qiong's heart moved and her hand stopped.
