Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Unable to Come Up With 7 Taels of Silver Yang Dachuan said, "I will call your uncle and the clan elders." "Alright." With that, Yang Dachuan and Ye Zi’an headed to the village together, and Yang Chuxia brought Yang Jinxiu home. Ms.Wang was stunned when she saw Jinxiu, and then hurriedly went forward in delight, saying, "Jinxiu, my good child, how come you are with Xiaxia? Your parents have been so anxious looking for you!" With tender affection, Ms.Wang said to Jinxiu as she held her, "Poor child, you’ve been through so much." She got along well with Cai Xia, so she naturally cared for Jinxiu too. Jinxiu had indeed experienced immense oppression and fear during this time, and had no desire to mention those things. So, in response to Ms.Wang’s inquiry, she merely gave a weak smile. "Mother, don’t ask too much for now." Seeing Jinxiu’s spirits weren’t very high, and her complexion was pale, with thin cheeks, Yang Chuxia said, "Mother, please make some food for Jinxiu. I’ll take her to wash up and change her clothes. If Aunt Caixia sees her like this, she’ll be heartbroken." Ms.Wang sighed, "Alright, I’ll get started." Then to Jinxiu, she said, "Jinxiu, now that you’re home, don’t be afraid. Go with Xiaxia to freshen up, and you’ll see your parents soon." Perhaps it was Ms.Wang’s words that touched Jinxiu’s tender spot, causing her to suddenly burst into tears. She cried for quite a while before stopping. Once she stopped crying, Yang Chuxia took her to wash up and changed her into Ms.Wang’s clothes. After that, Ms.Wang brought the prepared food over. As soon as they finished eating, Land Officer Yang and several clan elders arrived. Soon after, Ye Zi’an, Yang Jinshui, and Cai Xia entered as well. Jinshui and his wife naturally cried again when they saw their daughter. Once the emotions of both families stabilized, Yang Chuxia explained what had happened to everyone. Hearing that Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an had gone to buy a servant at the tooth store, everyone couldn’t help but mutter that the Dachuan family must be on the rise, having just bought a shop and now buying a person. On the other hand, Jinshui and his wife focused on the seven taels of silver and the deed for Jinxiu’s sale. They naturally wanted the deed since they didn’t want their daughter to become a slave even if they were poor. The key issue was that they couldn’t come up with the seven taels of silver, so Jinshui immediately became bitter, and Cai Xia was also upset. It was Jinxiu who saw her parents’ dilemma and volunteered, "Father, Mother, since Xiaxia has bought me, I am now her maid. You don’t need to worry about me, and I will stay here to serve Uncle, Aunt, and Xiaxia. At least I can still see you here, which is better than being in that unspeakable place." Auntie Caixia suddenly thought of her eldest daughter and asked hurriedly, "Jinxiu, what about your elder sister? Do you know where she is?" Jinxiu shook her head, "Sister and I have never been together since that day, and I haven’t seen her since." Speaking of this, Jinxiu started to cry again, "Mother, I’m afraid Sister is not alright!" Many of those who were locked up with her were said to have been sent to the brothel. She had only managed to escape that fate because she was not pretty enough, but her sister’s case was different; her sister was more beautiful than her. Thinking about her eldest daughter’s appearance and the places she had heard about trafficked girls being taken, Auntie Caixia broke down in tears again. It took quite a while for both mother and daughter to calm their emotions. Only then did Yang Chuxia speak, "Aunt Caixia, although Jinxiu was bought by me, she is still a person from our village and has the same surname, Yang, as me. We all share the same ancestors."
