Yun Zhiqian and Yun Fu ordered everything these people ordered to come in.

The children couldn't wait any longer and started to move.

Shopkeeper Zhao also tasted the ice cream he ordered. The moment it took a bite, he felt like the tip of his tongue was filled with the smell of gods fighting each other. It was so damn delicious.

He looked at the people sitting and eating ice drinks, more than thirty people, nearly forty people, all of them ordered expensive dishes, one or two taels of silver per bowl.

Shopkeeper Zhao felt that he was wasting money. If he sold all of them, he could get more than thirty taels of silver.

Shopkeeper Zhao felt a little sorry for Yun Zhiqian.

The young boss is too good at spending money.

The young boss is so nice to these people that there is nothing to say.

He had only worked for five days and he was able to take advantage of his boss by one or two taels of silver!

This is the first time he has met such a good boss.

He was more and more moved and secretly vowed to work hard for his boss. Unless his boss didn't want him, he would work for him for the rest of his life.

Everyone was enjoying their meal when suddenly they heard sobbing.

Who is crying?

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Aunt Xu eating and crying, her tears falling like broken beads.

The originally bustling house suddenly became quiet.

Aunt Xu's crying seemed even more out of place in this room.

Yun Fu walked over, handed her a handkerchief and said, "Aunt Xu, don't be sad. The children in this room will all be your children in the future. You won't be lonely even when you are old."

But Aunt Xu didn't answer.

It would have been better if Yun Fu hadn't said anything. After he said that, Aunt Xu cried even louder.

Yingniang said, "Sister Xu, please don't cry. We will be companions from now on. My two children are your children. Let them take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life. Do you think that's right?"

Yun Fu helped Aunt Xu wipe her tears. Aunt Xu felt embarrassed, so she took the handkerchief and wiped her tears herself:

"Little Master, I'm fine. I just think this Sushan is so delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious before. I'm so happy."

Aunt Xu knew clearly that although the young master was small, he always took care of the emotions of people like a little adult!

It was really embarrassing for her to cry in front of these children.

But she really couldn't help it.

Having lived in my husband's family for more than 20 years, not only was there endless work to do, but I also didn't have enough food to eat every day.

Even so, she still suffered beatings and scolding from her husband and mother-in-law all day long.

Once, her husband lost money outside and beat her without any reason.

That time, her face was swollen like a steamed bun, one of her eyes was swollen shut, and one of her legs was broken.

It took her a month, a whole month, to recover her body.

Even so, her three children always complained about her and despised her: If you get beaten, it must be because you did something too much, that's why dad beats you.

Otherwise why would Dad beat you for no reason?

Those days were like living in hell.

No one in her husband's family treated her as a human being.

Especially those three ungrateful children I gave birth to.

Since coming to this shop, she not only received daily wages, but also had food and accommodation provided. The boss was also very good to her. Compared to living in her husband's family, she felt like she was living in heaven.

She knew that the boss was a kind-hearted person and those children were little beggars taken in by the boss. The boss provided them with food, shelter and money to earn.

She had no place to live, and her employer saw her predicament and said to her:

"Aunt Xu, please stay with these kids for now. When we make money in the future, we will buy a yard in Shiqiao Town and settle you down!"

She had made up her mind that the young master would be her relative from now on.

"Boss, I want to ask you a favor."

Yun Fu said, "Aunt Xu, if you have any difficulties, just tell us. Don't be polite to us."

Yun Fu understood Aunt Xu’s difficulties.

"I want to sign a contract to sell myself. Let's go to the government office tomorrow to get it done and sign the contract."

Yun Zhiqian asked doubtfully, "Aunt Xu, you don't have to! Are you having any troubles? You can tell us so that we can help you."

"I have no difficulty. I just want to sign the contract."

Yun Fu said, "Brother, take Aunt Xu to the contract ceremony tomorrow."

Yun Fu had already guessed that perhaps Aunt Xu's relatives had hurt her too much.

Aunt Xu probably did this to leave a way out for herself, to avoid those people in her husband's family, or maybe to avoid her children! Or maybe to avoid her mother's family.

Aunt Xu was divorced. Something must have happened in her husband's family. Obviously, she found it difficult to talk about it and didn't want to mention it.

If the people in her husband's family knew that she earned wages, her so-called nominal relatives, those relatives who had stabbed her in the back, would probably come after her again and use all means to ask her for money.

If she signed the contract, she would then be able to sever ties with her relatives: she had sold herself and she had a master.

Her relatives did not dare to beat, scold, or rob Aunt Xu at will.

Yun Zhiqian didn't understand, he looked at Yun Fu: "Sister?"

Yun Zhiqian was a scholar, and he knew clearly what signing a contract to sell one's body meant.

He was somewhat disapproving of Gu Che and Gu Yue selling themselves at that time, but he and his sister did not quite trust them at the time, so they had no choice but to do so.

Yun Fu did not explain to Yun Zhiqian: "Brother, let's follow Aunt Xu's wish."

"Aunt Xu, when do you want to tear up the contract and restore your status as a good person? Then we can report to the government and change it back."
