However, Su Shian quickly stepped forward, gently helped her up, and said softly: "Hurry up, my seventh uncle is not some high and mighty figure, don't call him the wrong name. Also, the title of 'sir' should not be used lightly, and you must not address him like this in the future."

Wu Jin nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then changed his tone and said, "Yes, yes, thank you, young master."

Su Shian smiled and waved his hand, responding: "You're welcome!"

After an in-depth conversation with Aunt Sun and the careful questioning just now, Deng Qiyue actually already had his own calculations and calculations in his mind. However, he deeply understood one truth: if anything is not out of the true inner will of the person involved, it is futile even if forced. After all, a forced melon is not sweet!

It turned out that Wu Jin was not idle after dinner, but wandered around the kitchen. Soon, she noticed the firewood piled on the ground, and without hesitation, she picked up the axe and started chopping it quickly. Then, she started to fill the water tank with water until it was full. When she encountered the need to carry heavy objects such as rice and flour, Wu Jin also showed amazing strength and easily solved them quickly. Although Aunt Sun did not say much, she watched all this silently.

However, Deng Qiyue decided to go to the government office first. Although he knew that things like the little girl's incident would not attract too much attention, only by handling the matter properly could he avoid possible troubles in the future. Otherwise, if someone took advantage of this to cause trouble, it would be difficult to deal with.

Moreover, he could see that his little niece had a special affection for that girl. In that case, let's just do a good deed!

That afternoon, Deng Qiyue took back the heavy five-jin indenture contract from the governor, feeling relieved. He carefully handed it to the woman in front of him and said softly, "Take a close look at the indenture contract and confirm whether it is the one you personally stamped your fingerprint on, and then you can tear it up yourself."

Wu Jin took the contract with trembling hands, her eyes fixed on the bright red handprint. After a brief look, she nodded and replied in a slightly low voice: "Yes, this is it, thank you!"

Su Shian who was standing by also came over and urged excitedly, "Hurry up and tear off that five pounds! From now on, you will be completely free, hehehe!"

However, facing the indenture in her hand, Wu Jin seemed hesitant. She slowly raised her head, looked at Deng Qiyue with a sincere and earnest gaze, and asked softly, "Master, do you still need me to serve you? If possible, I am willing to stay by your side."

Deng Qiyue was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Wu Jin to make such a request. He stared at Wu Jin quietly, with a trace of thought in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly said: "Wu Jin, I don't need anyone to serve me. However, if you are willing to follow An An, take care of her and protect her, are you willing?"

Wu Jin nodded vigorously and said firmly: "I am very willing to do so. I will definitely take good care of the young master with all my heart. Please rest assured."

Deng Qiyue smiled slightly, showing satisfaction, and then said to Su Shian: "Okay, since you said so, then she can stay. An'an, from now on, she is your attendant, you have to teach her well."

When Wu Jin heard this, her heart was filled with joy. She immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude, thanking Deng Qiyue for giving her this opportunity.

Su Shian clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "That's great! Wu Jin, you are mine from now on! You are so powerful. If you learn some martial arts, even if we are in danger or someone bullies us..."

However, Deng Qiyue immediately interrupted him and warned him sternly: "An An, I asked Wu Jin to follow you not to let you go find someone to fight or cause trouble, understand?"

Su Shian was startled by Deng Qiyue's sudden scolding. He quickly changed his words and tried to explain his true intention: "Oh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that if there is any heavy work in the future, Wu Jin can help you do it easily."

Deng Qiyue looked at Su Shian with suspicion, as if he didn't completely believe what he said, but he still chose to accept his explanation temporarily, "I hope you really think so."

Xiao Ran, who was standing by, witnessed all this and could not help but feel puzzled. According to common sense, when looking for a servant for a young child, it would be more appropriate to choose a boy who is close to his age! Why would they choose a little girl? This is really confusing...

However, it must be admitted that Wu Jin does have amazing strength. If he is trained and cultivated, he will become a rare talent. This arrangement may not be a bad idea. He cast his eyes on Su Shikuan, but was surprised to find that this guy was unusually calm and had no intention of competing. Obviously, Deng Qiyue and the Su family are indeed extraordinary, especially in the education and training of children. After all, very few families can safely let two young children go out with their relatives alone.

At this moment, Su Shikuan also said happily: "An An, this is great! From now on, let Uncle Zhao Yi teach you Wu Jin martial arts, and see who dares to bully you."

"Yeah, I think so too." Su Shian noticed Xiao Ran staring at Su Shikuan and was very curious: "Mr. Xiao, why are you looking at my second brother?"

When Su Shikuan heard what Su Shian said, he immediately turned around and met Xiao Ran's gaze, with anger in his eyes. Xiao Ran quickly said, "Nothing...Nothing...I'm just thinking about something."

"That's settled then." Su Shikuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. He gently patted Xiao Ran's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone: "Mr. Xiao, are you curious about why my seventh uncle gave five pounds to An An?"

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, as if he had known everything for a long time, but he still asked politely: "Would you like to tell me the reason?"

Su Shikuan's face flashed with a hint of pride, and he deliberately kept it a secret: "I don't want to."

At this time, Deng Qiyue, who was standing by, could no longer bear to watch and began to rebuke him, "Kuan'er, what are you doing? You should learn from Master Xiao. You two are of similar age, but he is much more stable than you."
