The woman cried until she beca a tearful figure, sobbing and choking.
"Young Master, please save Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin is willing to work like an ox and horse for you."
Su Yan originally did not want to get involved, but in a blink of an eye, the matter found its way to her.
She squatted down, first pulling away the woman’s hands.
She pushed her off of herself,
then said
"Save you from what?"
The woman choked
"I, a young woman, sold myself to bury my father, wanting to arrange a decent funeral for him. There’s a man who insists on forcibly taking away, intending to make his concubine. I’m unwilling. If that’s the case, I’d rather be dead!"
As she spoke, her sobbing cries echoed again.
Su Yan looked up at the man with lustful intentions.
The man naturally recognized Su Yan.
Imdiately, he begged for rcy and left dejectedly.
Su Yan spoke out
"Twenty taels to arrange your father’s funeral?"
The woman nodded
"Yes"
As she spoke, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Yan.
"I thank the Young Master profoundly for your rescue. I am endlessly grateful."
Su Yan shook her head
"It’s nothing really."
As she spoke, she glanced again at the corpse.
Livor mortis had already set in.
This must be several days old now.
"When did your father pass away?"
The woman wiped her tears and said softly
"Yesterday, my father fell asleep and never woke up. He was frail and frequently ill; I did not expect him to pass away so suddenly."
As she spoke, she was about to cry again.
Su Yan rubbed her ears and stood up
"I will buy you, are you willing?"
The woman looked up, sowhat surprised, then asked
"Young Master, can you afford twenty taels?"
Su Yan nodded
"I can afford it."
The woman bowed her head, for so reason appearing sowhat shy
"Once I have arranged the matters for my father, I will belong to the Young Master."
Su Yan looked at the person lying on the ground, and after a mont, said
"Lanzhi"
"Young Master?"
"Find a couple of people to tie her up and bury this old man."
"Yes."
After finishing her words, Su Yan stood up.
"I spent twenty taels to buy you, once you enter my household, what can you do?"
The person kneeling on the ground still had tear stains on her face, head bowed, timidly said
"As a servant, I cannot repay the Young Master’s great kindness. From now on, I’m willing to serve alongside the Young Master, doing my best wholeheartedly."
Su Yan shook her head
"There’s no need to work as oxen and horse."
After thinking for a mont, she said
"There’s a hill in my backyard that happens to be neglected, from now on, you shall go there to plant trees."
Xiao Qin was stunned, disbelieving
"The Young Master wants to plant trees?"
Her voice trembled as she spoke.
Su Yan nodded
"The house doesn’t lack attendants, taking you back, there’s nowhere else to place you."
Xiao Qin tightly grabbed Su Yan’s clothes,
"Xiao Qin can serve the Young Master, I guarantee I can do better than anyone else."
Her eyes full of panic.
Su Yan blinked
"Aren’t you already mine?"
"······Yes"
"Whatever I want you to do, you’ll do it. Right?"
"······Yes"
The woman’s hand gradually loosened, she bowed her head, her complexion pale and ashen
Su Yan said
"Once your father’s arrangents are made, then go."
Speaking, she turned back to Lanzhi
"Lanzhi."
"Young Master?"
"When the ti cos, make sure she signs the Contract, give her the twenty taels. After she’s filled the hill with trees, let her find a good family to marry into."
"Yes, Young Master."
Lanzhi responded.
The onlookers watching the scene all along, so sighed.
Planting trees?
What an idea from the Young Master.
