The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Ru Yue looked around at them and finally stopped at Aqiao and Aqi. She knew that these two people were the backbone of these people and the ones who could make decisions for these children.

"There's no need to cry or argue. We're not forcing you to do anything. We're just trying to get back what's yours." She paused, her gaze finally landing on Ah Qi and Ah Qiao. "I'll give you two options. First, it's fate that we met, and you're truly pathetic. Consider this silver as a gift, and from now on I'll go my own way. As for you, you'll have nothing to do with me anymore, and there's no need to feel any gratitude towards me. Second, I own a food workshop, and you can all sell yourselves to me. From now on, you won't have any second thoughts when working for me."

"What did you say? You want all of us to sell ourselves into slavery?" Ah Qi jumped up immediately. He could sell himself to feed these people, but this woman actually wanted them to sell themselves into slavery. This was really too much!

The night grew deeper and the weather seemed to be getting colder. The people in the yard were already wearing thin clothes and looked shivering. Ru Yue was too lazy to pay attention to Ah Qi. People with simple minds and strong limbs were the most annoying. It was tiring to talk to them.

Ru Yue put the two taels of silver she had taken out earlier into A Qiao's hands again. She didn't even bother to look at them again. She pulled Chu Ning'an and turned away. Since they had made their choice, she would not force them.

"Miss, please stay." Just as the two were about to step out of the door, A Qiao hurried over and said, "Miss, can you please allow us to consider this?"

"I've made up my mind. Come to Fushun Inn to find us before noon tomorrow." After saying that, he left without looking back.

A Qiao took a look at the silver in his hand. No matter what, he had to take the little brat to see a doctor first, and then they could discuss what to do later.

She settled the other people in the family, and she and Ah Qi carried the little boy on their backs and hurried to see a doctor, hoping that the door of Baohetang could be opened at this time. The little boy had been sick for several days, and it hoped that nothing serious would happen to him.

By the time I finished everything and took care of the little one and finished taking his medicine, it was already the end of the hour of Hai.

Ah Qiao called over two older girls and Ah Qi to sit together to discuss tomorrow's affairs. No matter what, the young couple today could definitely be considered good people. They had been in the streets since they were young, so they had some ability to judge people.

"Nine of us escaped from the capital, but now there are only seven of us left. Xiao Shunzi and Ah Fu have already... If that girl hadn't been so kind as to give us some money today, I don't know if the little brat would have survived this cold." Seeing everyone staring at her, Ah Qiao didn't shirk her responsibilities and directly expressed her thoughts. "This yard's lease expires in half a month. What should we do then? We can't find odd jobs, and we can't really rely on petty theft to make a living, can we? I'd rather sell myself into slavery than be a thief. At least that way I can earn a living."

Ah Qi lowered his head in guilt, but then looked up at them unwillingly, "I really don't have any other choice. I'm afraid that little brat will end up like Xiao Shunzi, falling asleep and never waking up again."

"I know you had no choice. I don't mean to blame you, Ah Qi. This time we met a kind person who gave us money. What about the future? Have you thought about it?" Ah Qiao kept holding on to this question. After all, there was not much time left until noon tomorrow.

"Are we all going to sell ourselves to them as slaves?" Ah Qi was still struggling.

It's no wonder that Ah Qi is so hesitant. Once sold as a slave, not only will he lose his personal freedom, but his life will also be in the hands of his master. The criminal law of the Zhou Dynasty was strict, but that was for ordinary people, not including servants who signed a contract to sell themselves. The master had the power of life and death over the slaves who signed a death contract.

"You saw it too. Can we really withstand that young man's skills? If they took the jade pendant and ran away, what could we do to them? But the girl still gave us money, which is enough to prove that they are not evil people. Finding a master like them may not be a bad thing for us." A Qiao didn't think about asking them to answer him, but just told them what he was thinking. "The girl said they run a food workshop. I think they will treat us badly. Following her, we finally have someone to rely on. We don't have to worry about starving or freezing anymore."

Hearing this, the other two girls who had been silent spoke up, "We'll listen to Sister." This meant they agreed with Qiao's opinion.

The three of them looked at Ah Qi. He suddenly felt that he had nowhere to hide. "Since you all agree, then I have no objection."

In this way, several people determined their own destiny and future. Only after many years did they realize how wise their decision was.
