I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"My family's surname is Xiao. The youngest is Xiao Ming, 39 years old. I used to help the master manage the farm in the Wang family. I can do everything from plowing the land, planting crops, growing vegetables, and planting fruit trees."

After listening to this, Song Anning nodded and motioned for them to continue.

Then the woman also spoke:

"My lady, I am Xiao Qin, Lanying. I am thirty-eight years old.

I first worked in the Wang family doing laundry and sweeping for three years, then was assigned to the kitchen, where I cooked for ten years. Later, I followed the head of the household to the farm to manage the fruit trees and vegetable fields, and I also grew flowers.

"Well, not bad, what about you guys?"

Xiao Qinshi wanted to introduce the children, but was stopped by Song An Ning, who turned her gaze to the man standing beside her.

"The younger one, my name is Xiao Yuanbao, and I'm twenty years old. I've been very strong since I was young, and I've worked on the farm with my parents. I know all the farm work."

From his two stumbling sentences, we can tell that he is not good at speaking and a little silly. He is a simple-minded and strong-limbed guy.

After Xiao Yuanbao finished speaking, the girl spoke crisply:

"My servant, Xiao Yingchun, is fourteen years old. I can do needlework and embroidery, and was originally employed to serve Miss Wang."

"Ah."

Song An Ning thought that the questioning was over, but she didn't expect the youngest child to look at her earnestly, without any fear.

"I'm Xiao Yuanyuan, I'm seven years old. I help my parents weed the fields, feed the chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits."

The child looked chubby, which seemed to live up to his name. Song An Ning walked to his side, squatted down to his eye level, and his voice became much gentler.

"After leaving the Wang family, will you miss the little rabbit?"

"Yes! I feed them every day. Dad says rabbits can't eat grass that's been soaked in water, so I go cut the grass the first day, come back and dry it, and then feed them little by little until they grow big.

Now that I've left, I don't know if the little rabbit has eaten well."

What he didn't know was that as soon as his family left, that litter of rabbits were on the dinner table, and now, they had been reincarnated.

"Girl, the child is ignorant and says things that are not worthy of public speaking. Don't worry, Yuanyuan can do a lot of work."

Xiao Qin was a little puzzled. Song An Ning didn't ask them anything, but asked about A Yuan instead. Before, those families thought they were in the way with a child.

"He's a careful child. I have younger brothers and sisters at home. If you are willing to come to my house, they will have another playmate."

After Song An Ning finished speaking, the whole family looked at her in shock. They were servants and could only serve their master. How could they be worthy of playing with their master?

Besides, she had just asked if they were willing to go to her house. Was that a choice they could make? Nowadays, the owner of the pawnshop had the final say on where to sell the goods.

"Girl, if you want to buy this house, I can make the decision. The price is negotiable."

The shopkeeper thought that Song An Ning didn't understand the matter of buying and selling servants. A group of servants who had signed a death contract could never escape slavery in their lifetime and they had no choice.

Song Anning didn't think so. Her family lived in the village, and the living conditions were definitely not comparable to those in the town. If the other party was unwilling and still wanted to live in a big house, even if she bought this family, she would not be happy to get along with them.

She glanced at Wang Qiuyue, and sure enough, after the shopkeeper said this, her face looked a little unhappy.

If she didn't know that the Song family were all good people, she would also be afraid that after signing the contract, Song An Ning would sell her out. However, she believed in An Ning and believed that as long as she did her job well, An Ning would not do that.

"Those with slave status are also human beings, and they have their own ideas. If they are unwilling from the bottom of their hearts, then they will not do their job well in my house, right?"

"That's true, but they were sold into death indentures after leaving the Wang family. You can kill or chop up the girls as you please."

She didn't respond to the shopkeeper, but glanced at a few people. Now the choice was up to them.

"My family is a farmer. We run a small business and have elderly people and children to take care of at home, so we hired someone.

If you want to go, then come with me. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”

After hearing Song Anning's words, the family hesitated for a moment. Finally, Xiao Yingchun stepped forward and asked,

"Miss, my face scares people wherever I go. Do you really not mind? I don't want my presence to cause gossip about my master as well."

In fact, when they introduced themselves just now, Song An Ning asked Xiangxiang to turn on the mind-reading skill and use it on Xiao Qinshi.

So I knew that their character was impeccable and they also wanted to go with her.

They were afraid that their daughter's face would make the master unhappy, or even that the master would be unhappy and beat her again, but they seemed to have no choice.

"I still say the same thing, only loyalty and work are important, the rest is unimportant."

"Yes, Yingchun is willing to go with the girl!"

Her eyes were firm and filled with a hint of desire. After her disfigurement, her mind became more sensitive. From the first time Song An Ning saw her, there was no disgust in his eyes. If she was not mistaken, there was even a little admiration.

This alone makes him much better than those from wealthy families. As long as this girl doesn't despise him, she will follow him to the death.

"Girl, our whole family is willing to go with you."

In the end, Xiao Ming and his wife stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and the matter was finally settled.

"Boss, please name a price. If I think it's suitable, I'll buy it."

The shopkeeper's eyes darted around. Miss Song was clearly attracted to this family. It was all his fault for being so quick-witted that he had explained everything about the family right from the start. Now, asking for a higher price was out of the question.

"Miss, the price of a servant in a death contract is higher, and they..."

Song Anning interrupted impatiently and said only one sentence:

"Just tell me the price."

"One hundred taels."

"..."

Did he think she was a fool who didn't know the market conditions? Prices in Linhai Town were higher than in Ping'an Town. Chen Guanghui had told her before that buying a servant with a death contract would only cost eight or ten taels of silver.

Seeing that Song An Ning didn't say anything, the owner of the pawnshop thought of her relationship with Zuixianju and spoke again with some embarrassment.

"Miss, eighty taels, no less. When I first hired you, the price was not low..."

"Thirty taels."

"What? Girl, what are you talking about? We're a family, and we can do everything. How could it be thirty taels?"

Let’s put it this way, seventy-five taels is already a losing business.”

"Forty. If you think it's okay, I'll take it away."

"..."

"Seventy-two, okay..."

"forty."

"seventy……"

"forty."

"Miss, sixty-six is an auspicious number. May your business be prosperous and may everything go smoothly..."

The shopkeeper was very helpless and gave the lowest price he could. After all, he had spent fifty taels to buy this house, and the food expenses for more than a month were not counted yet. He had to leave himself a few taels, right?

"make a deal."

"..."

He suddenly felt like he had been tricked by this little girl, and he felt a little regretful. After all, this girl was doing business with Zuixianju. Even if she had never bought servants, she had seen some of the world. He had underestimated her.

"Please come with me to the pawnshop, young lady. Once the government stamps the seal, you can give me the silver."

Things went very smoothly. The brokerage firm must have had some connections, because not long after we sat down, the clerk brought back the stamped contract.

After giving the silver and taking the deed, when they left the pawnshop, she and Wang Qiuyue were followed by the Xiao family. They bent over and followed behind respectfully, not daring to say a word.

Not long after they walked away, Wang Qiuyue suddenly thought of a question.

"Aning, now that we've brought the person back, where are we going to live?"
