Chapter 191 Chain
Shang Wan seemed oblivious, still frantically poking at the popularity tube, "Your brother seems to be dying. Considering we've known each other, I'll send him a coffin. You're welcome."
Upon hearing this, Yu Da, who was about to erupt, deflated like a punctured balloon.
He glanced at Yu Er, whose face was ashen. There was one thing he hadn't lied to Shang Wan about: the two of them had indeed depended on each other for many years. If Yu Er hadn't risked his life to save him several times, he would have died long ago.
Watching his younger brother die was more painful than if Yu Da himself had died.
Anxiety, helplessness, worry, anger... a whole host of emotions surged into his heart, and he finally gave a heavy sigh as if in resignation.
His voice was hoarse from the burning anger, "If you can save my second brother, I am willing to sell myself into... slavery."
The word "slave" was difficult to utter; he had only accepted a job to kill, never expecting it would cost him his life.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze dark and unfathomable.
So what if he's a slave? Sooner or later he'll devour his master!
Shang Wan knew that Yu Da had only yielded because of the situation, but so what?
Those who dare to betray their master, shall be killed!
She had no mercy for anyone who wanted to kill her.
She wouldn't have bothered keeping these two if she didn't want her family to be too tired.
Shang Wan had no idea what it meant to push one's luck. "Good things come in pairs, so you two sign together."
Yu Da: "..."
Your life is in someone else's hands; you have no choice but to agree, whether you like it or not.
Shang Wan fed Yu Er two drops of spiritual spring water, which stabilized Yu Er's condition. After Yu Er regained consciousness, she took the two of them to sign the indenture.
The indenture was drafted by Lu Chengjing, and after the two signed and sealed it, it had to be taken to the government office for registration and stamping.
Shang Wan then learned that buying a servant also required a "transfer of ownership" and the payment of taxes.
She immediately regretted it, glanced at the two brothers standing beside her, and said to Lu Chengjing, "Why don't we just kill them?"
Yu is greater than two: !!!
Lu Chengjing had Shi Tou take the two brothers out first, and managed to persuade Shang Wan to come down.
In his view, Zhong Chenghong was dead, and Yu Dayu was still a potential threat. Even if he signed the indenture, he wouldn't stay for long, so there was no need to register with the government for now.
If things change and the two have other uses, it's not too late to register with the government then.
The indenture itself is a form of constraint. Registering and stamping the indenture with the government is merely a precaution against disobedience by the servant, and allows the government to intervene in case of disputes. If it is not registered beforehand, the government will not take any responsibility.
However, in special cases where there are more than two people, if the two really cause trouble, it is not advisable to let the government intervene to resolve the dispute, even if it is registered with the government. Therefore, whether or not to register with the government is not important.
After hearing Lu Chengjing's explanation, Shang Wan finally understood.
Yu Dayu has a lot of lives on his hands, so it's impossible for him to seek help from the government. If the government finds out, it's hard to say who will get into trouble first.
Shang Wan's eyes darted around, and she tapped the table with her finger. "The indenture is only on the surface. These two won't behave themselves. We need to add another chain."

"Brother, are we really going to stay here and be that woman's slaves?" Yu Er asked angrily, clearly unwilling to accept it.
"No rush," Yu Da patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Let her be smug for a couple of days, and we'll make plans after your injury has healed."
Yu Er knew that the situation was beyond his control, so he nodded helplessly. Just as he sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed), the closed door was suddenly banged on.
Yu Da walked over and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a little girl with delicate features, her chubby face like a dumpling, her eyelashes thick and long, curling upwards like little fans, and her big, dark, bright eyes seemed to speak volumes, with a cute little nose and mouth.
Beside the little girl lay a large gray wolf, its green eyes coldly staring at her, as if it would pounce at any moment.
Yu Da felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but take a step back, asking the little girl, "Is something wrong?"
Yuan Yuan tilted her little head and looked at the uncle in front of her who was almost as tall as a door. When she heard the question, she nodded and said, "Again!"
Having raised children before, Yu Da understood and continued, "What is it?"
"Come out! Time to eat!" Yuanyuan waved her little hand at him. Yu Da was a little surprised; he thought Shang Wan would choose to starve them for a few days as a way to intimidate them.
He looked up at the sky; it was indeed time for dinner.
He went back into the house to help Yu Er up, and together with Yuan Yuan, they went to the main room.
Yuanyuan has just learned to walk. She has been practicing diligently these days. Although she still falls down sometimes, she is much more stable than when she first learned to walk.
She had short legs and small steps, and led the way by holding onto the gray wolf's fur with her little hands.
The two tall, long-legged men, Yu and Da, couldn't move their legs at all. As soon as they tried to get past Yuanyuan and walk ahead, the gray wolf bared its teeth at them, its sharp canines making people shudder.
The two were forced to switch to small, quick steps.
The distance from the side room to the main room wasn't far, but with Yuanyuan leading the way, it felt incredibly long.
Yu Er's legs were already in pain, and the repeated aggravation of the wound made it even more uncomfortable. It was both painful and hot, and sweat poured down his face, gradually soaking his clothes.
He was never one to have a good temper, and he urged in a harsh voice, "Hurry up!"
Yuanyuan stopped, turned around to look at him, and said in a childish voice, "Wait! Walk slowly! It doesn't... hurt!"
If you walk too fast, you'll fall, and falling will hurt.
Yu Er wanted to say something, but Yu Da reached out and pulled him. There wasn't much room to go, so he decided to hold back for now.
The three of them finally arrived at the main room with small, quick steps.
"Mom! You're here!" Yuanyuan happily jumped onto Shang Wan's lap, tilting her little face up with a bright smile.
"That's great." Shang Wan picked her up and kissed her cheek, then raised her eyelashes and gave Da Yu'er a meaningful look.
The two felt a sudden tightness in their chests, a strange sense of foreboding creeping over them.
They soon realized where their bad feeling came from.
Plates of delicious-looking meat dishes were removed from their tables and replaced with boiled vegetables in a thin broth; there wasn't even a steamed bun.
Two people: "..."
Yu Da gently reminded him, "You need to be well-fed to have the energy to work."
Upon hearing this, Shang Wan tossed him a steamed bun; only he had one, while Yu Er did not.
Yu Er looked up at Shang Wan, his gaze dark and gloomy.
Shang Wan placed a piece of stir-fried bok choy on Chu Xu's plate and said leisurely, "If you don't want your eyeballs, I can gouge them out for you for free."
You yelled at Yuanyuan and still want to eat well? What a pipe dream!
Yu Er slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "I won't stand for this! Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"
Lu Chengjing was feeding Yuanyuan meat porridge when the sudden shout startled the little one, causing her to choke and cough. Chu Xu quickly reached out to pat her back.
Four deathly gazes simultaneously fell upon Yu Er.
Yu Er felt a chill on his neck and dared not slap his raised hand any further.
"Second brother!" Yu Da was terrified and kept giving Yu Er meaningful glances. "Quickly apologize to the madam."
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. The contract of servitude has already been signed, so why indulge in a moment of pleasure?
Yu Er was also furious. Ever since he had made some progress in martial arts, he had always been the one bullying others. When had he ever been humiliated like this?
He knew his older brother was right, but looking at the bland soup in front of him, he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
He retorted, "Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!"
