“Qingshu!” When Ye Dashan saw his son like this, his heart ached. He quickly rushed forward and held his arm. He looked down at his legs with concern.

“What’s wrong with you? Why are you limping? Are you…”

Ye Dashan wanted to ask if his son had been beaten up, but because the Li family’s gatekeeper was around, he didn’t say it out loud, afraid that he would make them unhappy.

“Father, I’m fine. I just sprained my ankle.” Ye Qingshu shook his head at his father and then looked at Ye Qingyu. He hid his surprise at his big sister’s appearance and looked at her with concern.

“Have you recovered?”

“Yes, yes.” Ye Qingyu quickly walked to his side and looked at him with heartache.

“Qingshu, I’ve let you down and made you suffer. You’re a scholar and have to participate in the imperial examination. How can you agree to sell yourself as a slave? You’re simply muddle-headed!

You would rather come out and be a long-term laborer than sell my dowry. Could it be that you think I’m such a heartless person?!

Am I the kind of person who would risk her brother’s future for a scumbag?!”

“Big sister, you were like this in the past,” Ye Qingfeng muttered softly.

Ye Qingyu didn’t look at Ye Qingfeng, who was exposing her shortcomings. She was still staring at her first younger brother in front of her. Her eyes were red with anger, but of course, a portion of her heart ached.

“Big sister, you…” When Ye Qingshu heard this, he understood that his big sister had sold her dowry to redeem him. He looked at her in surprise.

However, because he had always been calm and taciturn, even if he was excited and had a thousand words in his heart, in the end, he only said one simple sentence.

“Big sister, you’ve thought it through. That’s great!”

Ye Qingyu knew that her first younger brother was also a smart person, so she did not say anything else. Instead, she grabbed his arm.

“After we take your contract, we’ll go home. Does your foot hurt terribly?”

“It’s fine.” Ye Qingshu shook his head and said the same thing.

Ye Qingyu wanted to squat down and take a look at him, but it was really inappropriate now as they were still at Landlord Li’s house. She could only endure it for the time being and let her father support her first younger brother so that he would not have to support himself with his injured feet.

A moment later, Butler Wang came out with the contract and handed it to Ye Dashan with an ugly expression. Then, he pointed at Ye Qingshu and said,

“Hurry up and take off your clothes.”

Ye Qingshu was called out by the gatekeeper. He came out in a hurry and only took his bag, forgetting to change his clothes.

Hearing this, he did not say anything else and quickly took off his outer shirt. With the help of his father, he changed into his own clothes.

Butler Wang kept looking at them with a dark expression. Ye Qingyu glanced at him sideways, feeling a little anxious and angry.

Butler Wang was really a petty person. He looked like he couldn’t wait to take revenge.

When Ye Qingyu saw Butler Wang looking at her, she quickly lowered her eyes to hide the anger in them and thought of a solution.

However, in the next moment, she heard Butler Wang shout with a smile and a hint of flattery,

“Aiyo, Brother Xu, what kind of good things did you hunt this time? Don’t put down your things and leave immediately this time. Come into the residence and have a cup of tea. Rest before leaving.”

When Ye Qingyu heard this, she immediately looked up and saw that the person being politely flattered by Butler Wang was actually Xu Jingnan, her savior.

Shock flashed across Ye Qingyu’s eyes. So Xu Jingnan was someone who made people fear him and had some status?!

It was no wonder that Ye Qingyu was surprised.

In the original owner’s memory, Xu Jingnan was not well-liked in the village. When the villagers saw him, they took a detour. No one tried to get close to him!
