BXBX NOVEL Chapter 123 - 123 Who Said They were Slaves
Xiao Qing’s face turned pale, and he slowly lowered his head.
That’s right. Even though the Liu family treated him and his uncle like family, they were still slaves.
A slave was only the property of the owner.
!!
Li Xiao’s expression also changed slightly, and he looked at Lin Lanhua with a dangerous look.
Lin Lanhua felt the threat almost instantly, but she still straightened her body and looked at Lin Xiaoyue. It was as if she was standing on the high ground of reason.
“Hmph, who said Qing’er is a slave?” Lin Xiaoyue laughed coldly.
“Right! Xiao Qing and Li Xiao are already registered under the Liu family.” Suddenly, the village chief’s voice came from outside the gate.
Then, everyone saw the village chief, his wife and Li Huaiyu over.
“Chief…” Everyone looked at the village chief, waiting for him to resolve the issue.
Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao rushed forward.
“I’ve made a fool of myself in front of the village chief.” Li Xiao bowed and cupped his fists to the village chief.
The crowd discussed spiritedly, as if they had understood something.
If Li Xiao came forward to speak to the village chief, he must be part of the Liu family.
Also, when the Liu family was building the house, Li Xiao was also the person in charge.
Similarly, Li Xiao was in charge of greeting the guests at the moment.
How could a slave have such a right? Could it be that he was really exempted from slavery and officially entered the Liu family?
Was what the village chief said true?
If it was true, then the Liu family was really good to them!
One had to know that most people who bought slaves would never register them as part of the household, even if they were supposed to marry their children. After all, it would be easier to control them if they keep their contracts.
Although the villagers did not treat these people as slaves, they still looked down on them.
“Hehe, it’s my fault for the delay and not completing the household registration earlier, causing you to suffer such humiliation.” The village chief said with a smile.
Then, he took out the new household registration.
“This is your new household registration. You and Xiao Qing have been added.”
As soon as this was said, everyone started to chatter.
It was clear at that moment. Li Xiao and his nephew Xiao Qing were truly exempted from slavery and were registered as part of the Liu family. They were now real members of the Liu family!
Xiao Qing looked at the village head in disbelief, then at Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue.
What was going on? When did Liu Shi and Lin Xiaoyue get the village chief to register them? Did his uncle know about this?
“Impossible! How could a slave be registered? Chief, don’t try to protect this girl!” Lin Lanhua said, her tone carrying a hint of panic.
Before she came, she was the one who told her eldest and second sister-in-law to target the slave. It was to anger the Liu family and make them make mistakes.
In the end, their strategy was a success. The wretched girl had laid her hands on her second sister-in-law, and they had a hold on her.
However, who knew that the slaves were not slaves anymore. This girl actually registered them.
The village chief frowned.
“A slave can redeem himself and become a free man. Li Xiao married Yue’er, and is the son-in-law of the Liu family. Why can’t he be registered as a member of the Liu family?” He said in a deep voice.
The moment these words came out, everyone once again burst into discussion.
When did this happen? Yue’er is married to Li Xiao?!
However, it was not unusual to buy a son-in-law.
