Chapter 115 Are you willing?
Squatting in front of the two children, Chi Xiaotong asked gently, "What are your names?"
The older one said, "Yang Da, my brother Yang Er!"
When Chi Xiaotong heard these two names, her heart ached! The eldest was called "Da", the second was called "Er", so the third child in her family should be called "San" according to this?
"How old are you?" Skipping this question, Chi Xiaotong continued asking.
"I'm eight years old and my brother is seven!" It was Yang Da who answered.
Chi Xiaotong looked at Yang Er: "Do you know who I am?"
Yang Er shrank back behind his brother in fear and whispered, "I know!"
As if he was afraid that Chi Xiaotong would be angry, Yang Da continued, "I'm sorry, my brother is rather timid!"
"Don't be sorry, I was just asking!"
Chi Xiaotong probably made some judgments and said seriously: "The last question, I need you two to think carefully and answer me!"
Seeing both of them nodded, he continued, "Would you two like to follow me?"
"What I mean is that from now on you two are children of my Chi family, and you will have no relationship with your biological mother and father! You can't even meet or contact them! Do you understand? So don't rush to answer me, think about it carefully!" Chi Xiaotong said before the two answered.
Then he stood up, not rushing for an answer, and quietly watched the two children think and discuss.
About two minutes later, Yang Da raised his head, looked at Chi Xiaotong, and said, "We have decided!"
"Okay, then tell me your answer! I hope this answer is the result of your careful consideration. It is closely related to your future. Don't regret it later!"
"We'll follow you!" the two said in unison.
Chi Xiaotong smiled: "Are you sure? Don't be influenced by others, and don't just listen to your mother and father!"
"Sure, my mother does want to sell us out, but we follow you voluntarily. You are a good person, and my little brother is also in your house. As long as we can have food to eat, we won't be lazy!" Yang Da tried his best to make himself look more stable.
They have no one to rely on, and his younger brother still depends on him. Even if he is afraid, he has to stand up and fight for it. At least being sold to this family is better than being a slave in those wealthy families!
She can save her little brother, so she must be a good person and will not take their lives!
"My family can't guarantee that you will be rich, but we can guarantee that you will have enough food and warm clothes. From now on, you will have to take my last name Chi! Are you willing?"
"willing!"
Chi Xiaotong rubbed the tops of the two children's heads, reached out, took their hands, and went out.
Chen Chengyu followed behind. At first, Chi Xiaotong was testing the two children, but at the end she asked what she really wanted to ask.
In her opinion, these two children are okay and not too old, so she should be able to teach them well!
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" The biological mother of the child smiled flatteringly when she saw Chi Xiaotong leading the two children out.
Chi Xiaotong let go and let Chen Chengyu take the children into the house to make sure they couldn't hear. Then Chi Xiaotong said, "Tell me the price! If you can, I'll keep them."
Chi Xiaotong had a dull expression, and it was hard to tell whether she was satisfied with the person or whether she liked him or not.
The woman stretched out five fingers tentatively. Chi Xiaotong frowned.
"Those two kids are grown up now, able to work and sensible!" he said weakly.
"Si Liang, if it's okay I'll keep it, if not you can take it away!" Chi Xiaotong said with a straight face.
"Okay, when will you give me the money?" The man hesitated, gritted his teeth and agreed!
"Tomorrow I will go and register the younger one, and change the household registration for the two older ones. When the time comes, I will hand over the ten taels of silver to you, not a cent less!"
"Let's go today!" The man said anxiously, fearing that Chi Xiaotong would change his mind.
"Can the household registration change be completed today?" Chi Xiaotong looked at the village chief.
"We need the village chiefs from both sides to go to the county to make changes! It will take at least a day, so forget about it today! We can go tomorrow!"
"Well, then tomorrow, we'll wait for you at the village entrance. Remember to call your village chief!"
"Well, just sign a contract to sell yourself! There's no need to go through so much trouble!"
"Selling body indenture? I bought a person, not a servant. I'll give you the money, and how I deal with the person is none of your business. Just change the household registration, and I'll be at ease!"
"Okay, I'll come find you guys tomorrow morning! I want to get some of the silver first!"
"Okay, do you want to take the two children back first, or come with me?"
"Give me five taels first, and the child will go with you!"
Chi Xiaotong didn't waste any more words with her. In front of the village chief, she gave her five taels of silver. After they agreed on a time, she left without looking back!
Chi Xiaotong watched her back as she left the house, and for a long time she didn't react. She just left like that? Without even taking a last look at her child? Without even saying goodbye?
Chen Chengyu came out, and Chi Xiaotong turned around and saw two children lying on the door frame, peeking.
"Come out! Come home with me!" Chi Xiaotong waved.
The two children walked obediently to Chi Xiaotong without asking where their mother was.
After saying goodbye to the village chief, the two took their children home.
Chen Chengyu wanted to say something, but when he looked at the child who was walking between the two of them with his head down, he swallowed his words back.
"Xiao Yu, Cheng Shan, we are back!" Chi Xiaotong shouted as soon as he entered the yard.
"Wife, what is this?" Tian Yu ran out holding the child and saw the two children at a glance.
"As I mentioned before, Tuantuan's brother! Come inside and talk."
"This is the eldest, and this is the second. Let's not mention the previous names. From now on, they will be our children, so we need to give them new names! Xiaoyu, what do you think?" After introducing the two children, Chi Xiaotong asked Tian Yu for his opinion.
"I have no idea, my wife decides!" Tian Yu looked at the two children carefully.
"How about Yuanyuan and Manman?" Chi Xiaotong was thinking on the way back! It's not like it's just a baby, so you can call them whatever you want. But for these two children, they have to be called something.
Chi Xiaotong didn’t like her previous name. She was going to start a new life and decided to change to a new name.
She has no other expectations for her children, just to be happy. With a Tuantuan at home, she wants the family to be complete, which also means that they are all a family.
The names of the three children, no matter how they are combined, have good meanings: perfection, reunion, and completeness.
"I think it's great!" Tian Yu agreed. As long as the name is given by the wife, it sounds good.
"Do you two like it? Are you willing to change the name?" You have to ask the person involved for his or her opinion. They are already that old, and they know everything.
"I like it. Thank you for the name, Master!" As he said that, the eldest brother actually pulled the second brother to kneel down.
Chi Xiaotong reacted quickly and supported the two of them.
"Just like it, don't call me master. I'm not the master, and you are not servants! Remember?"
"Remember!" Frightened by Chi Xiaotong's serious look, the two men didn't dare to move and answered obediently.
"Who taught you all these?" How could a child of this age know how to do this if no one taught him?
"My mother told my father that we should kneel down and call him master! You bought us, and our lives belong to you! Dad said that we should be sensible and work hard so that we can have enough to eat!" The two did not dare to hide anything in response to Chi Xiaotong's question.
