Chapter 172: Signing a Contract
The people around burst into cheers, talking about the blessings accumulated by the Liang family. This time they met a kind master and were finally going to escape the quagmire of the Yang family.
Qu Jingyao asked Baiguo to go to the carriage and get the two extra indentures she had written before, and asked the Yang family to sign them. From then on, the mother and son would have nothing to do with their family anymore.
When Old Lady Yang heard this, she made repeated promises and urged the old man beside her to sign quickly:
"Old man, hurry up and put your fingerprints on it and get rid of this unlucky thing in the family."
Old Man Yang glanced at her with cold eyes, and she retracted her hand and said no more.
Old man Yang bit his finger and pressed his fingerprint on the deed.
He didn't even glance at the contents of the deed.
"Silver, where's the silver?"
The eldest daughter-in-law urged Qu Jingyao to give her money.
She gestured to Baiguo to give them the silver and asked Liang if there was anything else she wanted to pack.
"No need for clothes. We will have new clothes for you when we get home."
Liang looked at the Yang family in front of her, sneered, slowly stood up, leaned over in front of Qu Jingyao and said respectfully, "Yang Jiazhi has her husband's tablet and wants to take it away. Is that possible?"
"Can!"
Liang's eyes were filled with tears of gratitude, and she called her two daughters to accompany her to clean up.
The old lady Yang behind him called out to her eldest daughter-in-law and kept a close eye on the three jinxes, not allowing them to take away a single penny of the Yang family's property. The remaining rubbish was left to them.
"Hey, don't worry, Mom."
The eldest daughter-in-law raised her eyebrows with a smile, and walked straight towards Liang's dilapidated house with her hips twisted.
But before she could enter the house, she saw Liang coming out holding her brother-in-law's tablet.
"Why do you want to check?"
Liang's sarcastic words made her face flush and she pouted in embarrassment.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Liang wrapped the tablet with her dress, and the three of them, mother and daughter, walked slowly to Qu Jingyao.
"Master, I have packed everything."
Liang walked respectfully in front of Qu Jingyao and bowed. Before getting married, she worked as a helper in a wealthy family in the town, so she understood these things.
But after going around in circles, she still came back to this point. She didn't know whether she should feel sad or relieved. However, seeing the undisguised excitement in her two daughters' eyes, she felt it was worth it.
"Mom, mom, I'm back." Yang Jishan ran back to the yard, followed by the village head and his wife.
"Liang, what are you doing?"
The village head glanced at the Yang family in the yard, his face instantly darkened, and he scolded them for bringing shame to their ancestors.
Has the day really come to the point where we have to sell our children?
The wife of the village head stopped Qu Jingyao and asked why he had to buy out the Liang family?
"Is there any better way out than for me to buy them?"
Qu Jingyao's words made her stand there in the yard in a daze.
Liang walked forward, took the hand of the village head's wife, and said goodbye to her with gratitude. This was the best way out for them and their son.
The village head and his wife nodded helplessly and told her to take good care of herself.
"Don't worry, take care of yourselves."
Baiguo helped his master onto the carriage, and the Xiuchun sisters and Liangshi followed behind.
Yang Jishan came to Bai Guo and stammered, "Miss...Miss, let me drive the carriage. I know how to drive a carriage."
"Baiguo, come up and let him drive the car."
"It's the master."
Baiguo jumped onto the carriage nimbly. Yang Jishan took the whip, led the horse, turned the carriage around, and slowly drove out of the village.
The people behind watched the carriage leave the village and whispered with emotion.
Following Baiguo's instructions, Yang Jishan quickly returned to Lingshan Village.
He looked at everything in the village curiously and felt that the air he breathed was different from before.
Baiguo stuck his head out and pointed towards the house at the foot of the mountain.
"Just stop the carriage in front of the house."
"Hey, good."
When the people in the carriage heard that they had arrived at the mansion, they felt nervous and uneasy.
The two sisters Xiuchun snuggled up to their mother tightly. The three little girls on the opposite side looked at this with envy and disappointment in their eyes.
They are also girls in the family, but they are not as lucky as Xiuchun and the others, who have a mother who loves them.
"The master has arrived."
Baiguo fell off the carriage, turned around and helped his master down. Liang and several children also got off the carriage.
She and her children looked at the magnificent house in front of them with trepidation, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, the master has gone in, let's follow him."
"Well, be careful with what you say inside, don't upset the master."
"Auntie, we've got it in mind."
Baiguo handed the carriage to Dongqing, and she called Liang and others to follow her to the front hall.
Qu Jingyao called Nanny Qin and asked her to take Liang's mother and daughter to the embroidery workshop.
"From now on, Madam Liang will be called Sister Liang. You and your daughter will work there. Nanny Qin will bring them some fresh clothes, shoes and socks. Steward Tian will ask a doctor to see Madam Liang."
"Hey, I'll take note of it."
When Nanny Qin and Liang's mother and daughter turned around to leave the front hall.
Liang knelt before Qu Jingyao and said, "Thank you, Master. I wonder what arrangements you have for Shan'er?"
Yang Jishan looked at his kneeling mother, then raised his head to look at his master above him.
Qu Jingyao looked at the boy in front of her, then waved her hand and asked Nanny Qin to hand him over to Butler Tian, to take over Dongqing's work in the future. Dongqing would stay with Xiaochen in the future.
"From now on, you will change your name to Dongwang and stay with the Third Young Master in the mansion."
Nanny Qin led a few people out of the front hall.
The remaining three girls looked at each other with panic in their eyes, not knowing how their master would arrange them next.
"Yunxiu and Yunqiu will go to the Second Madam's courtyard to serve the future, and Yunzhu will go to the First Madam's courtyard.
Baiguo, please send them there, and when you have free time, ask Nanny Qin to teach them some manners."
Bai Guo bowed and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three little girls were led by Bai Guo towards the inner courtyard.
Several people looked at everything in the yard curiously.
"Remember not to look around in the mansion, it's against the rules, and the eldest lady is the master's mother.
The second lady is the master's aunt. Remember, the eldest young master in the mansion and the master are born of the same mother.
The Second Young Master and the Third Young Master are the Second Madam's children, and therefore the Master's cousins."
Bai Guo showed rare patience in explaining the rules of the mansion and the masters to the three of them.
The three little girls were no longer so nervous and listened carefully to the rules of the Baiguo Sect.
"We have taken note of this, Sister Baiguo. Thank you for your teachings."
Bai Guo looked at the few smart people and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
After Qu Jingyao arranged all this, she turned around and walked towards her aunt's yard.
But before he reached his aunt's yard, he was stopped by Bai Guo who was walking towards him.
"Master, the Second Madam is in the First Madam's courtyard. Please come over."
