Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Liu Chunya hugged her younger brother and tentatively reached out to take the banknote. She saw that Lu Zhixuan had a serious look on his face and had no intention of teasing her.

"Thank you, sir. From now on, my sister and I will be yours."

"Ah? My people?" Without waiting for Lu Zhixuan to correct him, Liu Chunya stood up and handed the silver bills to those wretched men.

"Give me the IOU!" Liu Chunya's stubborn look made several people laugh. They pushed her away and walked towards Lu Zhixuan.

With a fierce look, he asked Lu Zhixuan what he dared to do.

At this time, the people watching Lu Zhixuan immediately moved away and looked at the men in front of them with fear.

Lu Zhixuan folded his arms across his chest and looked at them nonchalantly: "What if I decide to take care of this matter?"

The sturdy man in the front was about to hit him with his fist, but was stopped by the leader on the side, who gestured for him to look at Lu Zhixuan's waist.

"Stupid, don't you see that's the Baicaotang logo?"

Several people stepped back, but Lu Zhixuan stepped forward with a half-curled lip corner and asked why the IOU had not been handed over.

The leading man tremblingly took out a piece of paper from his arms and threw it to Liu Chunya, then grabbed the banknote and ran away.

Liu Chunya, who caught the IOU, hugged her brother and cried. After a while, she tore up the IOU, took her brother's hand, and knelt in front of Lu Zhixuan.

"I've met the master."

Lu Zhixuan's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and said that she didn't have to do this, he was just passing by and couldn't take them with him.

Finally, he said that the banknotes were unnecessary and he wanted the siblings to live a good life in the future.

After saying that, he turned around and left. But Liu Chunya couldn't take a hundred taels from others for nothing. Besides, even if the siblings stayed, they would be troubled by the previous people, so he sold himself and wanted to stay away...

She took her brother and chased after Lu Zhixuan.

Until in front of the Lu Mansion, Lu Zhixuan frowned and turned around: "What are you doing? Why are you still following me?"

"Please take me in, sir. I can wash clothes, cook, chop wood and farm..."

"Sir, please accept me and my sister. We will eat very little."

The brother and sister knelt before him and begged. At this time, the door of the mansion was opened by Tian Bo, who was surprised to see the scene in front of him.

"Master Lu, this is..."

Seeing that more and more people were gathering in front of the mansion gate, Lu Zhixuan had no choice but to let the siblings enter the mansion first.

I thought Master should have a way to solve it.

He led the siblings straight toward the master's yard.

"Is the master here?"

Lu Zhixuan knocked lightly on the door. Lu Qingqing had just come out of the space after washing up. She looked at Chu Haochen and then shouted outside the room.

"Enter."

Lu Zhixuan asked the brother and sister to wait in the yard first. The brother and sister nodded obediently, and took their brother to stand in the corridor and wait.

He strode into the room, saw his master and his master's husband drinking at the table, and walked forward to pay his respects.

"What's the matter?" Lu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Zhixuan, who had an unnatural look on his face. He was always noisy, so why was he so quiet now?

Lu Zhixuan scratched his head and told his master what had just happened on the street with an embarrassed look on his face.

Chu Haochen looked at him with a half-smile on his lips. Lu Qingqing also looked speechless and asked him to bring the brother and sister in to take a look.

Lu Zhixuan immediately nodded happily, turned around and walked towards the door, waving to the siblings in the yard.

Liu Chunya held his brother and walked in tremblingly, and saw the magnificent appearance inside.

She looked at the pair of worn-out cloth shoes on her feet with inferiority, shrank her feet, and looked at the people in the room cautiously.

"Come quickly!" Lu Zhixuan shouted at her carelessly, and Liu Chunya then took a step forward with her brother.

Lu Qingqing looked at the brother and sister who lowered their heads in front of her, and she said softly: "Raise your heads."

Liu Chunya slowly raised her eyes and looked carefully.

Looking at Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen at the top, she pulled her brother and knelt down.

"Madam, please take us in. This young master has just bought us. Madam, please don't chase us away."

Lu Qingqing frowned and asked her in confusion, since you said you didn't have to pay back the money, why did you follow her back?

When Liu Chunya heard her words, her eyes instantly became red. She explained softly that she and her brother had followed their father to Qingyang City and had been renting a yard. Their father worked at the dock, but later contracted tuberculosis and spent all his money but was still unable to be cured.

The loan sharks had been targeting them since the day they entered Qingyang City. Even if they paid back the money, their future would be difficult without anyone to protect them. Her brother was still young and just wanted to find a good family to take them in.

"Ma'am, I will do anything, please..."

Lu Qingqing sighed and asked her if she could read. Liu Chunya bit her lower lip and bit her head gently.

"My sister and I only learned some martial arts from our father before he passed away. We can't read."

At this time, Chu Haochen leaned close to Lu Qingqing's ear and whispered that it would not be a bad idea to train this boy well and keep him with Erbao.

Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard his words, and she immediately asked Liu Chunya if she was willing to sign a death contract.

"I am willing." She pulled her brother and kowtowed to him.

Lu Zhixuan, who was standing by, felt pain when he heard this.

"Okay, then you will be called Chun'er from now on, and your brother Chunlai will stay with my second son and serve him."

When Liu Chunya heard Lu Qingqing's words, tears instantly fell from her eyes. Lu Zhixuan then reminded her to thank the princess quickly.

Liu Chunya didn't expect that the person in front of him was the princess, and he kowtowed in a daze.

"Chun'er, Chunlai thanks the princess, and I will serve the young master wholeheartedly in the future."

At this time, Lu Qingqing called Zi Yao from the yard and asked her to take the person down and deal with the matter, and to go to the government office to get the indenture.

Zi Yao nodded slightly and walked forward to lead the brother and sister towards the back room.

Only then did Lu Zhixuan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hoo! Master, your disciple has gone back to report to the Grandmaster."

After saying this, he turned around and ran out of the yard.

Chu Haochen smiled slightly, looked at his little daughter's frowned brows and said softly, "That boy will naturally change when he gets a wife."

Lu Qingqing shook her head helplessly and sighed.

While talking to Chu Haochen, he handed over Chunlai and Tianer to Lu Er to train them.

Chu Haochen smiled and said that she would arrange it.

After a busy day, everyone went to bed early after dinner.

After breakfast the next morning, the group set off towards Taoyuan Town.

It takes another two days to get from Qingyang City to Taoyuan Town.

The closer they got to Taoyuan Town, the more excited Lu Qingqing became. She hadn't been back for a long time and really missed the aunts in the village.

I wonder how they are doing now.

"We'll see each other soon." Chu Haochen said softly, holding her hand.
