Capítulo 239: Chapter 239 Mo Hong's Family Sells Daughter and Gains an Uncle (7)_1

Finally, Mo Qingze took the household register and went to the Government Office with the Li Family of three to process the bondservant indenture.

People who sell themselves into servitude are considered property of their masters and are not permitted to possess private property. Thus, the ten acres of wasteland allocated to the Li Family had to be reclaimed by the Government.

That ten acres of wasteland had already been tidied up and planted with soybeans, which were almost ready for harvest. Mo Qingze spent ten taels of silver to purchase the land and incorporate it into his own land deed.

Should the Li Family wish to reclaim their free status in the future, it would be convenient to return the ten acres to them.

The matter of the indenture was settled quickly, and the Li Family of three, as if a great weight had been lifted from their hearts, were more at ease staying with the Mo Family than before, and their smiles were indeed more frequent.
