Kapitel 296: Chapter 296: Paying Back the Silver in Installments

Yang Chuxia paused before continuing, "It wouldn't be right to make people from the same village, our fellow villagers, become servants in my house. If word gets out, people will say that my family is oppressing the villagers, bullying our fellow villagers just because we have some wealth. We cannot do that."

After Yang Chuxia finished speaking, Land Officer Yang also said, "Xiaxia makes a good point. Even though Jinxiu was bought by Xiaxia, we are all from the same village. No one is more important than anyone else. We cannot treat our fellow villagers as servants."

The elder heads of the four families nodded in agreement with Land Officer Yang's words.

"But, Uncle Land Officer, Fourth Uncle, my family… We really can't afford to pay seven taels of silver to redeem Jinxiu." As Yang Jinshui spoke, the grown man unexpectedly began to cry. It seemed his family indeed faced deep struggles.

Upon hearing her husband say these things, Aunt Caixia too, was wiping away her tears.
