Chapter 1332: Chapter 1332: I Can Cook (4)

Cheng Fofo’s tears fell even more fiercely.

Cheng Qian knelt down, “Miss, if you don’t despise us, our whole family is willing to work like oxen and horses to repay the kindness of the Miss…” As he spoke, he kowtowed, “Actually, I know that we are all burdens, so, I hope the Miss can take Fofo and Nuo, and give them a meal to eat…”

“Dad, I won’t go.” Cheng Nuo shook his head, “I am the man of the family. Let sister go, I will work, I…”

“What can you do?” Yang Ruxin looked toward the stubborn youth, “Before, you were the young master of the Cheng Family, and you could live carefree studying and working, because you didn’t lack silver. But now…” She pointed to the water bucket, “But now you can’t even fill a bucket of water…”

“I…” The youth lowered his head, realizing only after his family’s ordeal that he truly understood nothing.

“Miss, please.” Cheng Sunshi also kowtowed.

“Miss, Uncle Cheng’s family are all good people…” Yang Miao knelt down as well.

“Alright,” Yang Ruxin nodded, “But those who follow me need to sign a Selling Covenant, are you willing?”

“Does the Miss mean all of us?” Cheng Qian’s eyes suddenly widened.

“If I cure you of your illness, what can you do?”

“Me?” Cheng Qian let out a bitter laugh, “My family has always been chefs, and that’s all I can do, cooking…”

“That’ll do.” Yang Ruxin smiled, “Once you’ve signed the contract you’re people of the Yang Family, then I have the right to be responsible for your safety…”

When Manager Zhao returned to the Fu Family, he exaggerated the story; the result left the second young master of Fu fuming with rage, leading his men in person to the slums. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the place was already deserted, enraging the second young master further he kicked the wooden door only to find it unexpectedly sturdy. Not only did it not break under his kick, but it also left his foot in pain, and in the end, he had to be supported back home.

As for how the second young master of Fu cursed and swore vows of vengeance against the Cheng Family, it’s not worth mentioning, as by this time, the Cheng Family had already signed the Selling Covenant and followed Yang Ruxin into the city, finding a low-key inn and booking a room.

“We’re going to the Dong Family in Hangzhou; you shouldn’t come with us as you’re not in good health. The medicine I’ve given you will likely take about three doses to be effective. Since the road ahead is unsafe, you should stay here in peace, and we’ll come to pick you up on our return journey…”

Cheng Qian understood that his and his mother’s health were burdensome, so he did not protest. However, he instructed his daughter and son to definitely listen to the Miss and to be clever in everyday situations.

Although the siblings had to be separated from their parents for a while, they knew that better days were ahead and there was no need to live in fear, so naturally, they didn’t feel too distressed.

With all this commotion, the sun had traveled westward, and plans such as strolling by Shouxi Lake and shopping had to be abandoned. They could only ride the carriage back to the pier.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Cai Mingda, the County Magistrate of Yangzhou, on the pier. Clearly, he had learned of Qi Jingyun’s arrival and had come to offer his attentiveness.

“Are you sure that’s the Yangzhou County Magistrate?” Yang Ruxin glanced at Cheng Fofo, whose expression was extremely unpleasant. The man was in plain clothes and not accompanied by any government officials; without knowing him personally, one wouldn’t be able to recognize his status.

“Even if he turns to ash, I would recognize him,” Cheng Fofo’s tears burst out with boundless hatred.

Cheng Nuo had a tight expression on his little face.
