Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Indenture Contract Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Indenture Contract “Second Sister, what do you say? What exactly happened to Big Brother?”
Halfway through speaking, Su Ningxiu stopped, and Su Yunjin could feel that her second sister Su Ningxiu seemed to be afraid of her knowing, intentionally hiding something?
In the end, Su Ningxiu still decided to keep it from Su Yunjin, “Little sister, truly, nothing is wrong with Big Brother, so you should stop making wild guesses.”
Second Sister Su Ningxiu lowered her head to eat her sweet soup.
Without glancing back at Su Yunjin.
What Big Brother Su Muze now needed was silver, only money could redeem his indenture contract, and the Gu Family was just as poor as the Su Family.
Even if she told her little sister Su Yunjin, it wouldn’t solve any problems! Instead, it would only cause her little sister to worry with her.
After hesitating for a while.
Su Ningxiu decided it was still better not to tell her little sister about Big Brother’s situation.
“Second Sister, you and Mother are all deliberately keeping Big Brother’s situation from me! Could it be that Big Brother’s situation is related to me?” Su Yunjin directly voiced her suspicion.
Second Sister Su Ningxiu’s hand trembled, and the spoon fell down, clanging against the side of the bowl, the sound especially loud in the room, making Su Yunjin even more certain of her guess, “It seems that Big Brother’s situation really is related to me.”
“No, that’s not it, little sister, Big Brother’s situation has nothing to do with you at all, it’s all Grandma, she…” Almost, Su Ningxiu let the words slip out.
Su Yunjin stared intently at Second Sister Su Ningxiu, “What did Grandma do to Big Brother? Second Sister, tell me.”
“Little sister, I—!” Second Sister Su Ningxiu stuttered, and Su Yunjin looked at her, “At this point, do you still want to keep it from me?”
Su Ningxiu knew she could no longer hide it from Su Yunjin, and so, she told her the truth, “Little sister, it’s , the money Big Brother raised for you wasn’t borrowed, but instead, Big Brother signed an indenture contract. You didn’t accept that silver, but later, Grandma snatched it away, and now, Big Brother is working long-term in the town’s rice shop!”
“What? Big Brother signed an indenture contract for someone else?” Su Yunjin looked at Second Sister Su Ningxiu in utter surprise; she knew Big Brother Su Muze’s absence may have something to do with her, but it never occurred to Su Yunjin that Big Brother Su Muze would actually sign an indenture contract because of her, his sister.
Second Sister Su Ningxiu nodded at Su Yunjin, “Little sister, at that time you were unconscious, and we did everything but couldn’t borrow a single copper coin. With no other choice, Big Brother went to the town to sign an indenture contract with someone!”
“Second Sister, how can we redeem Big Brother?” After the shock, Su Yunjin asked Su Ningxiu. Big Brother Su Muze had signed the indenture contract for her sake, and even though the silver had been taken by her step-grandmother, she still had to find a way to redeem her Big Brother Su Muze.
Now that she knew about it, she would not ignore the situation.
To redeem Big Brother Su Muze’s indenture contract, it was necessary to gather enough money to pay back the shopkeeper of the rice shop, “Little sister, to redeem Big Brother, we can only pay with silver!”
“How much do we need to pay?” Su Yunjin asked her second sister.
Su Ningxiu no longer concealed the truth and said frankly, “We need two liang of silver.”
Two liang of silver wasn’t much, and Su Yunjin currently had one liang of silver, which she got from Gu Ya when he initially sold his game to her. However, to make up two liang of silver, the money she had was not enough; she still needed to figure out a way to earn another liang.
