In the underground parking lot of the Abula Building, after getting into the driver's seat of the Cayenne, Zhou Hong didn't rush to start the car. Instead, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

During her meeting with Attorney Caigong, she put the phone on silent and noticed several missed calls.

Mr. Zhao, the owner of the "Cinnamon" Hotel in Chiang Luen Harbour, inquired about his opinion on the details of the renovation.

This Mr. Zhao was in his forties. Zhou Hong chatted with him and felt he was a decent person, especially since he spoke fluent Mandarin, had close ties with China, and had a strong attachment to his homeland.

So Zhou Hong talked about the annual accommodation package.

After walking around the small hotel on the second floor, they asked Boss Zhao to combine and renovate rooms 201, 203, 202, and 204, which are the four rooms on the far left of the floor.

This would result in an area of ​​approximately 90 square meters, which could be converted into a suite.

Each of the small rooms, each about 20 square meters, was originally partitioned with plywood. However, Zhou Hong's plan was to renovate the brick wall areas of rooms 203 and 204, which were the original areas.

There are some details that Boss Zhao needs to confirm.

After exchanging a few words with him, Zhou Hong hung up the phone.

"Brother... thank you..." A small, trembling voice rang out as a tiny body leaned over from the passenger seat. Zhou Hong turned to look at her. Ti Xiang's beautiful face was filled with emotion. She was seven or eight centimeters shorter than Papa Ya, barely reaching 1.6 meters, and quite petite. She had even climbed over from the passenger seat and curled up in Zhou Hong's arms. From the angle of Zhou Hong's gaze, he saw the beautiful girl in her blue and white school uniform, snow-white slouch socks, and her large, watery eyes full of allure. She was both innocent and seductive. Certain images of Yuzuki-sensei surfaced in his mind, and Zhou Hong suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart.

The phone rang again, and it was the same number as before. Old Zhao, Zhou Hong felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

He hurriedly reached out and picked up Tissin, who was as light as a feather, and gently placed her back in the passenger seat. However, the way he held her slender, smooth legs from behind was like holding this beautiful girl while she urinated, which made Zhou Hong feel uneasy and full of wicked excitement.

Even if it means becoming worse than an animal, there are still some things that need to be thought through.

Actually, Tissah isn't young anymore; she could legally film adult movies in the next year or two, right? It's just that she's too tall and imposing, making her seem like a child in front of him. And it's also because of him that she likes to act childish and coquettish.

Lost in thought, I answered the phone again.

He replied with a few words and then hung up.

Looking at Tixiang, who was fastening her seatbelt and also stealing glances at herself, Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Let's go back and pick up Papa Ya. We'll ask about her family situation and help her resolve some issues." He couldn't resist reaching out and pinching Tixiang's incredibly smooth little face. "Little rascal, I almost couldn't resist just now..."

After a moment of surprise, Tissah's big eyes immediately filled with delight. Her face flushed red as she lowered her head, but her slightly trembling little body betrayed her joy and even a sense of being overwhelmed by the favor.

……

On the first floor of the villa, at the water bar, Yuzuki Tissot and Papa Ya were both wearing yellow plaid uniform skirts and snow-white slouch socks. The two beautiful girls, one with a slightly charming air and the other with mixed-race beauty, were dressed in the same style of pretty schoolgirls, bringing an incredibly refreshing color palette.

Both of them sipped their juice, especially Yuzuki Tika, who seemed much more lively. After returning, she hugged Papa Ya and whispered to her for a while. The two little ones had their own way of communicating, and even though they didn't speak the same language, they gradually learned to understand each other.

"Papa Ya, based on your understanding of Aunt Monile, how do you think I can persuade her to give up custody of you?" Zhou Hong asked.

When talking about her family, Papa Ya Qingmei's face immediately fell. She shook her head gently, "I... in a year, I will become Lord Black Tower's Mia Noi... My mother has already made arrangements with someone and received the betrothal gifts and deposits from Lord Black Tower's family..." She was on the verge of tears, but she thought that the year she would be tormented by this perverted older brother might be the happiest time of her life. Although she would be tormented, she would live happily and be able to go to school and make friends and play with her peers.

And speaking of which, it seems that the older brother wasn't really that bad, except that one night he hit himself on the head and got a small bump.

Compared to the despair she will face after the one-year "rent-a-wife" agreement, what is this little pain?

Mianoi? Zhou Hong was stunned. Of course he had heard of this local custom.

The term "Mia Noi" is the pronunciation of Mia Noi.

Mia Noi is strictly an illegal word in Elephant Country, but it has existed for a long time. Its meaning is roughly the same as "concubine" in the Chinese context.

In the Elephant Kingdom, although monogamy has been practiced for many years, polygamy is still common in the countryside, especially among older landowners, and it is rare for someone to have only one wife in their lifetime.

It's probably because the royal family is still around, and the lower levels follow suit. In the end, the royal family is just the biggest landowner.

There was once a village chief who married more than a hundred wives, which even made it into the hottest online news in China. This is also a true story.

In the country of Xiang, large landowners who had multiple wives typically had wives of similar status, with no distinction of superiority or inferiority.

However, most of them belong to the Mia Noi, similar to the concubines that once existed in China, and have no status in the family.

Unexpectedly, Papa Ya's "mother" was so ruthless. First, she sold Papa Ya to herself for a profit, and then she sold her to a landlord's family as a concubine.

The term "master" in "Master Black Tower" sounds like a respectful term used by country folk to address a landlord. The system's translation, however, seems to be more in line with Chinese slang.

In the Xiang Kingdom, there are landlords of all sizes, and its upper structure is actually a joint rule by the royal family, the military and police, and local powerful families.

Ten percent of the landowners in the Elephant Kingdom control more than eighty percent of the land.

In many rural areas, traditional landlords have ruled for generations. While village chiefs are supposedly elected, they are in reality the sole ruling family of the village, who have passed the throne down through generations.

Township (district) heads are elected by the village heads of the township, and are usually succeeded by the most powerful village head family in the township (district).

This group is the true ruler outside of Bangkok, and the voice of the elected government can only reach the area surrounding Bangkok.

Lost in thought, Zhou Hong looked at Papaya and said, "I'm not very familiar with your customs. So, if I want to help you, what do you think is the safest and most reliable way to free you from your stepmother's control over your destiny once and for all?"

Papa Ya stared at a certain area of ​​the carpet with a gloomy expression on her pretty face, and whispered, "Papa Ya has had this dream before. There was a very, very kind person who gave my mother a dowry and wanted me to be Mia Noi..." She looked up in surprise, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. At this moment, she seemed to no longer be a child, but a mature woman who had experienced many hardships.

Zhou Hong sighed inwardly. Even in her daydreams, she only dared to hope to meet a decent man who would buy her and make her his concubine. This showed how much she had suffered day and night since her father's death.

"Here's what we'll do. I'll talk to your mother and offer her a dowry that will tempt her. In name only, I'll get her to agree to you becoming my Mia Noi. Of course, don't worry, it's just in name only! That way, you can truly break free from your family."

This seems like a way to solve the problem once and for all, a method that allows the system to determine that the rescue was successful.

In Xiangguo, the legal marriage age is 17, but this age can be lowered with the consent of the guardian. In traditional rural areas, it is not uncommon for people to get married after completing nine years of compulsory education or even after dropping out of junior high school.

"Ah, brother, really?" Papa Ya's pretty face suddenly lit up with color as she looked at Zhou Hong with great surprise.

"It's nominal, nominally..." Zhou Hong hurriedly said.

"Of course, of course I know that Miano is unworthy to be my brother. I am so happy that my brother is willing to give me such an honor!" Papa Ya cried tears of joy.

Zhou Hong looked at her speechlessly. He had originally explained that it was just a nominal relationship to put her at ease, but she seemed to think that she was not worthy of being his concubine. Even if it was just a nominal relationship, she seemed to think that it would harm the honor of his Hong family.

On the other side, Yuzuki Tika couldn't understand what the two were saying, but silently made juice for them.

Zhou Hong had already stood up: "Okay, it's settled then. I'll think about when to meet with Aunt Meng Lile to discuss it."

After some calculations, the estimated costs to resolve the issues with the two children are $2 in legal fees and $5 in settlement money from the teak company.

Papa Ya's mother said she didn't want the $25,000, which was probably several times the dowry demanded by the so-called "Black Tower Lord".

So, to completely solve the problem of the two little ones, the budget is $7.

The dance machines were all bought early on, and the consumption is "unlimited reimbursement".

Therefore, of the "milestone" reimbursement limit, Yuzuti has $13 left, and Papa Ya's $40 limit remains untouched.

We need to find an opportunity to spend this money in the name of the two little ones before the "rescue" is completed.

Alternatively, you could allocate the money to them to ensure their future livelihood; in any case, remember this.
