Kapitel 981: Testing Each Other

Chunq Qin quickly walked over. Not long after, she returned and explained the situation.

Ye Muyu frowned. "Mrs. Qi, Is it legal to sell your children?"

When Mrs. Qi heard her question, she sighed softly. "Mrs. Chu, buying and selling children is definitely against the law. However, there was a lot of spring rain in the first half of the year, which caused the grain production in Lin County to decrease. Many people are having a hard time, so there are many people who take the initiative to become slaves."

"That lady must have come here voluntarily. If she's willing, it's not illegal."

Ye Muyu understood. This was a matter of mutual consent. Naturally, it did not violate the law.

"Does the county magistrate have any ideas?" Ye Muyu also looked worried. "If the people are not in a desperate situation, who would be willing to be a slave? The county magistrate is the official managing the area. He must be having a headache."
