ted the matter to Fang Jinxiu."Alright, Little Grass really wants to work, so let her do it."Household chores are fine, but leaving her idle all the time isn't good either.The little grass was so plea...She can be kind and save people, but if all four of them want to stay by her side, there has to be a reasonable reason.

Otherwise, what's the point of them staying home They aren't really hosting guests. Given their current situation, they couldn't even afford to host that many people, and keeping them for long would be a problem anyway.

Since we can't be guests, there is only another choice.

"I'm acquainted with the village headman. If you change your minds, I could go speak to Wang, the village head, and see if he'd allocate a plot of land in the village for you to build a wooden house on temporarily."

“Our village is digging a water channel. When the channel is dug, everyone should work hard to plant some food and vegetables. Save on eating and we’ll definitely make it through the winter. As long as we get through the drought, you can choose to settle in the village or move away, whatever you prefer.”

"If you have any difficulties, please come to me and I will do my best to help you."

"This was the plan I originally had for bringing you back."

"Now you all don't want to leave, wanting to stay at my house."

"As you can all see, our family's situation isn't much better than those outside."

"So our family can't afford to keep people who don't work. If you want to stay, you need a suitable identity, like what you just said: being slaves."

"To sign a master-slave contract with me is equivalent to selling yourself to our family. It's not just about verbally being a slave."

Fang Jinshu spoke very seriously, the girls' faces changed color, especially Chunlan, whose expression was particularly surprised.

I thought this Fang Jinshu was a soft-hearted person, they should be able to stay if they cried and pleaded.

I never expected her to say she'd sign a bond of servitude. Even though she said she could be a slave, it was just talk, a temporary solution.

Several girls immediately stopped their pleas. Zong Yulian saw this and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"He was just saying he would be willing to be a slave if only he could stay, but it turns out he was just deceiving my sister-in-law to gain her sympathy."

"Don't treat us like fools!"

Zong Yulian's words were blunt, but they largely echoed Fang Jinshu's own thoughts.

Doing good is one thing, but that doesn't make her a saint.

"Take your time and consider it carefully before answering. I'll go prepare some food and drinks for you."

After such a long journey, everyone was exhausted and even their stomachs were growling with hunger.

This afternoon was spent busy saving people, and Fang Jinxiu only found a break to drink some spiritual spring water to replenish her energy, and she also gave some to Zong Yu and Zong Bai.

Besides, the three of them haven't had a meal yet.

"Mom, have you finished cooking dinner" Fang Jinshu was about to go to the kitchen for dinner.

She didn't intend to let the four of them stay in the village tonight. She had thought about having dinner and then squeezing into a room with her, or if that didn't work, they could sleep on the floor. Just get a good night's sleep first.

Let's talk about where to stay tomorrow.

Since they brought it up first, let's consider it in advance.

Fang Jinxiu had just turned and taken a step when the hem of her sleeve was suddenly grabbed tightly from behind. She turned around to see...

This is gold and jade.

"Elder Sister Jinxiu, my parents originally planned to sell me to another family as a maid."

It's better to serve yourself than to serve others.

"Jin Yu is willing to sign a contract to sell herself, I don't want a single copper coin, as long as Sister Jin Xiu doesn't drive me away."

Fang Jinshi was a little surprised. She didn't expect the youngest, Jin Yu, who was both the boldest and the youngest, to be the first to speak up about staying.

"Aren't you afraid of suffering if you stay at my house"

"What if I get so poor that I have to sell you"

Fang Jinxiu deliberately said those frightening words. Since she was receiving servants, it was natural to want them to be simple-minded and trusting.

Those who are overthinking will only cause trouble for themselves if they stay.

Although Jin Yu was afraid, she still shook her head firmly.

"Sister Jinxiu is a good person, you wouldn't do that."

"The most important thing is that jade and gold are not afraid of hardship. I am willing to suffer with Sister Jinxiu."

"If you truly want to sell me, since you are my master, then my life belongs to you. I accept my fate like gold and jade."

Fang Jinxiu was still soft-hearted, that girl Jin Yu, a complete fool who would help count the money even after being sold.

Letting her live alone in the village, he was truly uneasy.

"Alright, then stay."

The other three were still hesitating, and Xiao Yue, who had not said much up until now, suddenly also stepped forward.

She stared intently at Fang Jinshu and asked a question, “Will you force us to sleep with men”know why they didn't dare to use too much force. The ropes weren't tied very tightly, so she broke free in a short while, regaining her freedom with both hands.Dong'er loosened Yuanbao's restraints an...
