Da Ya and Er Ya were both 10 years old. How could they not understand these things? However, they had no choice but to do this, for the sake of the family members whom they cared so much about.

Da Ya nodded resolutely and pressed her thumb print without hesitation.

Seeing that her sister was so determined, Er Ya nodded as well and said, “I’m also willing.” Then, she pressed her hand print. Below the hand prints were their names.

Wunian handed the two indentures to Juxiang and gestured for her to put them in her storage bag.

Juxiang understood. She stuffed it into her sleeve and put it in her storage space.

Juxiang helped Da Ya and Er Ya up and said, “You guys will follow us from now on!”

Juxiang handed the ten taels of silver to Da Ya’s mother. “Here’s the money, keep it away safely.” Da Ya’s mother stuffed the money into her clothes and kept it close to her.

“This is ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of noodles. If someone asks, just say you got this from selling your children. Others will be too embarrassed to rob you of it!”

“Thank you, thank you!”

Juxiang waved her hand and said, “Don’t thank me anymore. Say goodbye to your two daughters now. We’re leaving.”

Only then did the woman feel the sorrow of parting with her two daughters. With tears in her eyes, she hugged her two daughters and carefully reminded them, “You must serve them well. Be obedient to them. From now on, they will be your masters. You have to be diligent and prioritize your masters. Do you understand?”

Da Ya and Er Ya shook their heads in unison. They didn’t understand. The more anxious they were, the more they couldn’t understand. “It’s just that these two benefactors are your gods. You have to be obedient to them whatever they say. Be diligent and hardworking. Do you understand now?”

Da Ya and Er Ya nodded. “Actually, we understood. We just want to hear Mother’s voice while we can. Our two siblings are still young, and Father can’t work. Mother will have an even tougher life in the future!”

Da Ya’s mother’s shoulders shook as she cried. “Alright, I know that you’re good and filial children. You have to take care of each other, understand? I’ve let you down, but I can’t do anything about it.”

Seeing that they were crying so sadly, Wunian walked forward and handed a pill to Da Ya’s mother. “Here! Don’t be sad. Give this pill to Da Ya’s father! This is a pill that will grow bones. He might recover after eating it! This is very expensive. Don’t lose it.” Aiya! From where did she learn to speak so arrogantly?

Da Ya’s mother took the pill and said, “Thank you, benefactor. If my husband’s injured leg does recover, I will set up an incense table for you and worship you every day.”

Juxiang helped Da Ya’s mother up. “Alright, we’re leaving. Little Sister, let’s go!”

Da Ya went to help Juxiang into the carriage, and Er Ya also wanted to help Wunian up. Wunian waved her hand and said that there was no need, and she jumped onto the carriage herself.

Da Ya and Er Ya sat outside the curtain of the carriage. Uncle Lin waved the horsewhip and gently whipped the horse’s butt before it started trotting. The two girls turned their heads to look at their families as they moved further and further away.

On the second day after Da Ya and Er Ya’s father took the pill, he was able to walk again. On the third day, he fully recovered. Hence this episode came to a conclusion.

However, everything they did was witnessed by one person. It was the handsome Shao Shanjin, who had sat at the table next to them in the inn previously.

“Whose daughter is this? The elder sister is so beautiful and kind, and the younger sister is lively and straightforward.”

Beside him, Deputy General Luo Cheng said half-jokingly, “General, your ill intentions are obvious!”

Shanjin got the horse to follow behind the Juxiang sisters’ carriage. He glared at the deputy general and demanded, “Which eye of yours witnessed that I’m up to no good? I’m just expressing my admiration for the kind-hearted girls.”

“Aiya! General, say no more. Look at you. You said that the elder sister is beautiful and kind. Oh! When it comes to the younger sister, she’s lively and straightforward. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at once that our bachelor general has fallen for her! Hahaha.”
