“Nonsense, it’s already come to this. If you’re a man, sign it! Such a good child was tortured by the two of you to the point of jumping into the river to commit suicide,” said the village party secretary.

The village party secretary kicked Yang Laoda, but he was not angry. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. As Yang Laoda expected, his uncle was still concerned about his relationship with him.

Yang Laoda drew a cross under his name on the contract with the brush, then used the red ink provided by the accountant to stamp his thumbprint on it. Bai Hua waited for her husband to sign the contract and did the same.

Liu Baishan did not care about the ¥300 that Bai Hua had snatched away. Instead, he looked at Yang Cailan. Her exceptionally bright eyes were glowing after seeing her parents sign the contract to sell her. It was as if she had come back to life.

Yang Cailan’s reaction made Liu Baishan feel a little confused.

“Liu Baishan, though I’m selling Lan to you as your wife, she’s a good girl. If we find out that you bullied her, I won’t let you off the hook.” The old village party secretary smacked his pipe and said seriously.

“I marry her and I definitely won’t let her suffer, but her family must not interact with me. I have to make this clear. If her family comes knocking on my door in the future, don’t blame me for falling out with her.” said Liu Baishan. The fact that he could say that was enough to prove how much he disagreed with the Yang family’s approach.

The old village party secretary took two more puffs of his cigarette before getting down from the chair. Then, he kicked Yang Laoda again. The strength of the kick seemed painful.

“Uncle, why do you keep hitting my husband?” Bai Hua hurriedly stuffed the money into her arms and reached out to protect Yang Laoda. No matter what, Yang Laoda was her husband. If he was gone, she could live on her own.

“Both of you are terrible parents. If it weren’t for the fact that her biological parents said that the child was filial to you two ingrateful beings, I would have taken the child over long ago!” said the old village chief. He was also furious. He even said those words out loud. There was nothing to hide anymore at this point.

“What do you mean?” Yang Cailan finally grasped the main point. She was worried that if she left like this, she would be blamed by her parents if she helped her brother in the future.

“Lan, you’re not blood-related with the Yang family. All the elders in our village know about this, but we don’t know where your biological parents are. Back then, when our country was at war, your parents were both soldiers. As soon as you were born, they left you behind to be raised by the Yang family. I didn’t mention it before because your parents haven’t come to look for you for so many years. I’m afraid they’re already gone. But I didn’t expect these ingrateful beings to sell you so many times. When your parents left, they left behind a lot of money. You don’t owe anyone anything. Go to the Liu family and live a good life!” said the old village chief.

Bai Hua naturally knew about that. The money had long been spent. She shrunk her neck. Now that she had the money from Liu Baishan, she would not take it out again. She would not give it to Yang Cailan as well.

Yang Cailan heaved a sigh of relief. As long as she was no longer controlled by Bai Hua, it was enough. As for the matter of his biological parents, she will decide about it later.

“I understand.” As Yang Cailan spoke, she knelt down in front of the old village chief and kowtowed three times. He had taken care of Yang Cailan all these years. If not for the village party secretary, Yang Cailan would have had a harder time.

“Just live a good life. Get up.” The old village chief was so angry that he kicked Yang Laoda who was next to him. Then, he hurriedly asked Liu Baishan to help Yang Cailan up.

“Ping, I’m leaving now. Take care of yourself from now on,” said Yang Cailan. Her brother is the only one she would worry about most. Although Yang Ping was powerless, he really cared about his sister. Now that Yang Cailan’s true identity was public, it was even harder for her to come back and take care of him.

“Lan, get up quickly. It’s because I’m powerless. I’m sorry! Don’t come back in the future. I owe you too much.” said Yang Ping as he knelt in front of Yang Cailan. He knew that he was powerless to change anything. He could only kneel weakly on the ground.

“Baishan, I know my parents are not kind and have no face to let you treat my sister well! Just don’t treat my sister as a servant girl. She is very diligent and can work. She doesn’t eat much. I taught her to read. Don’t hit her too. If there’s anything, talk it out with her and she will understand!” said Yang Ping as he turned around and kowtowed three times to Liu Baishan.

Liu Baishan did not expect Yang Ping to kowtow to him, but he still accepted it calmly. Although Liu Baishan did not like Yang Ping, he did not have the right to change the principles of others. Liu Baishan said, “She is my wife now and I will protect her.”

Everyone could see that Liu Baishan was a benevolent child.
