The casual life of the flat space

Bai Tieying didn't wait for everyone to respond and continued, "I guess someone might say, 'You sound nice, but why don't you return the indenture to us now? Wouldn't it be better for us to be friends now?'

For this kind of person, I advise you to give up this shameless idea as soon as possible, choose to return to the arms of the dental clinic today, and I will give him three words: Why?

Don't blame me for saying something unpleasant. I bought your indentures with real money. You were picked out by the original owners, which means there must be something about you that others look down upon or think is not worth it.

I took over you out of kindness. To put it bluntly, how many of you can really be good friends with your creditors? I can't.

So let's just be down-to-earth and live our lives well now. When your ability is good enough for me to regard you as a friend, and when our relationship is not based on that body contract, all problems will no longer be problems.

I guess someone might say, what if you don't keep your word? Haha, I want to advise those who are not clear-headed to pour the water in their brains.

If it weren't for me, you would have been sold to other places by the pawnbroker. I can't say what kind of people the master family is, but can you still be together as a family, can you have three meals a day, can you have the opportunity to become friends with the master family in a few years?"

Bai Tieying looked around at everyone and finally said, "There are many opportunities to choose in life, but I advise everyone, whether you choose to find a new dentist now, or choose to be friends with me in the future, once you make a choice, don't regret it.

Okay, I'll give you some time to think. I'm going to go and seek justice for Bao Er now!"

Everyone was hesitant. From what the new master said, she only had some wealth in the past few months, and it was probably all floating wealth. If they followed her, not only would they not be able to "become friends", but they would also not know whether they could survive until the day they got the indenture. It would be better to choose a new master now, because generally, the master who could buy people would not be in a bad situation.

But by the same token, not to mention whether I can "become friends" with this young lady, even if I get a life contract, it is something that is out of reach for other families! Who doesn't like freedom? Even if I don't like it, what about the children? What about the children's children? Just like the young lady said, this is an opportunity!

Bai Tieying didn't care what these people were thinking. He jumped off the stone chair he was standing on, walked into the crowd, took Bao'er's hand, greeted Mu Qingqiu, and walked out.

Outside the main courtyard, some tenants who had come to watch the fun blocked the east gate tightly. They didn't dare to go in, but there were still a few who peeked in at the door and listened.

But I just heard from the refugees who came back from outside that the young lady who saved them was their new master, and she said she wanted to tell them something, and might take them away today! But why didn’t I hear any movement for such a long time? I didn’t see the refugees living in the back house come back to pack up their things.

Originally they thought that the excitement they had just watched would be over, but they didn't expect that Bao'er's mother would come over and say that their master wanted to meet the young daughter-in-law of the Yang family to decide the case, and everyone was welcome to come and judge. So didn't they have to come and watch?

"Hello everyone! I am Bao'er's master, my last name is Bai. When I came here just now, I happened to hear about Bao'er stealing money. Since I am her master, it is my responsibility to clarify this matter. I hope this aunt will cooperate. It would be best if we can make it clear here. If not, then I think it is necessary to go to the county government office.

What's your name, auntie?"

"My husband's last name is Yang." When the young wife heard that she had to go to the county government, she felt scared and aggrieved. She was obviously the victim, and she didn't ask the refugee mother and daughter for money, so why did it seem like she was to blame? How could she have beaten the dog and alarmed the owner?

Of course, she only cursed in her heart and dared not say it out loud. Don't look at the young lady's clothes, which are almost the same as hers, at most they are newer and have no patches, but she came here on horseback!

Besides, the boy behind her was wearing the finest fabric, which was many times better than the one she had seen at the New Year's market. The stall owner had refused to let her touch it! So she had no choice but to follow Bao'er's mother and answer Bai Tieying's questions honestly.

"Aunt Yang, I just want to help Bao'er figure this out, so I hope you can tell the truth from now on. Otherwise, not only do I not want to be branded as a thief in my family, but you also don't want your neighbors to be wary of you and stay away from you from now on, right?"

Seeing Aunt Yang nod, Bai Tieying first said to Baoer: "Baoer, do you remember what your sister just said to you? Now can you tell me what happened that day in full?"

Baoer had just drunk the well water and felt very energetic now. It seemed as if what happened that day had just happened. So she nodded, swallowed her saliva, took two deep breaths, and then slowly told what happened that day.

They were arranged to live in this big house from other places, and they were only told that the new owner would come to pick them up in a while, and then no one would take care of them, but they could still have two bowls of porridge every day. As long as they didn't leave the village, no one would care where they went, so her mother would take her out every day to find other food, at least to fill her stomach.

Every day when she was out looking for food, she could see children playing in the village on the other side of the river. She wanted to play with them, but her mother wouldn't let her, saying that finding food was more important. Besides, they didn't know the people in the village, and they were afraid that if there was any danger, they wouldn't know where to find people.

On August 22, she caught a cold, so her mother let her lie down in the room and went out. Later, she slept and felt better, so she wanted to go find her mother. After she went out the door, she looked for her mother at the door for a while but couldn't see her mother. Gradually, she was attracted by the children playing on the other side of the river, but she also remembered her mother's instructions and watched from the side of the stone bridge.

But not long after, Aunt Yang's daughter Jiaojiao and three other little girls stood at the other end of the stone bridge and called out to her, asking her to come over and play with them, and said her mother had steamed sticky cakes and wanted to treat her to some. She couldn't resist the temptation and walked across the stone bridge, played outside for a while, and then followed Jiaojiao to her home.

Aunt Yang really took out sticky rice cake and gave it to the four of them to eat. At that time, she thought Aunt Yang was really kind and the sticky rice cake was delicious. She even envied Jiaojiao in her heart.
