Chapter 80 - 80 Have a Plan

80 Have a Plan

Su Binglan’s gaze became increasingly colder.

The servant didn’t know why, but his entire body started to tremble. He felt the woman’s terrifying aura.

“I-I honestly don’t know. I only heard that many who worked here long-term eventually fell ill and died. Then the Zhu family throws them out.”

Su Binglan’s expression was frigid when she heard those words.

Liu Yinyin happened to hear them too. Her vision went black, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, she held onto the wall in time. Her face was pale as she muttered to herself in a panic, “Wenzhe will be alright.”

Su Binglan looked into the servant’s eyes and noticed a profound light. However, the servant’s eyes became empty when he met Su Binglan’s eyes.

When it came to her big brother’s safety, Su Binglan had no choice but to use her spiritual essence. She used her soul-sucking technique to see if the servant was lying.

Su Binglan discovered the servant wasn’t lying. However, the Zhu family and their workers were rather ruthless and did not treat their long-term employees as human beings, so it was usual for people to die here.

Some even signed death contracts. The rest signed live contracts and received less money, but their lives weren’t at stake.

Su Binglan asked Liu Yinyin, “Did my big brother sign a death or live contract?”

Liu Yinyin heard Su Binglan’s question and collected her thoughts. She said, “It was a live contract.”

Su Binglan asked, “How much silver did they pay you for him?”

Liu Yinyin said in a low voice, “Three silver taels.”

Su Binglan got angry when she heard Liu Yinyin only received three silver taels for her big brother. It was all her predecessor, the dark spirit’s fault.

Su Binglan said, “Let’s see Big Brother, and then we’ll think of a way to reclaim him.”

Liu Yinyin’s eyes lit up. She thought of something, and her expression dimmed as she said, “I heard we need ten silver taels if we want to redeem him.”

The Su family didn’t think much about it before. They only thought Su Wenzhe would work for three months to earn money and return to them. However, they never expected not to hear from him at all.

The Su family visited the Zhu residence, but the Zhus didn’t allow them to see Su Wenzhe.

Su Binglan snorted coldly. “I don’t think it’s that simple.”

Su Binglan didn’t want her big brother to stay with the Zhus any longer, not even for a day. She knew she needed to earn ten silver taels on that very day quickly.

However, the Su family didn’t have that much, and no matter how much they scraped together, they couldn’t gather enough money.

When Su Binglan fell into the river and became unconscious, the Su family couldn’t even afford to find her a doctor, so they had to earn money.

Su Binglan quickly thought about it and hatched a plan. She looked at the servant and said, “Bring me to your butler.”

Su Binglan knew the person in charge of the Zhu residence was undoubtedly the butler.

“Our butler is very busy, and we cleaners barely get to see him.” The servant dared not disturb the butler.

Su Binglan said, “Will you take me to your butler, or do you want me to break your legs?” She cracked her knuckles as she spoke.

The servant dared not take the risk. If Su Binglan broke his legs, she would render him useless, and the Zhus would kick him out. Therefore, he took the devilish woman to see the butler.

Butler Zhu walked to the side with a booklet as the servant approached him alongside two women. Butler Zhu looked at the women’s clothes and knew they were from the countryside.

“S-Sir, this woman has something to talk to you about.”

Butler Zhu replied impatiently, “How dare you bring anyone to see me. Get them out of here!”
