"Aunt Tong, I'm begging you, please give Chun Ni and me a way out."
"My mother-in-law and Fugui just want to exchange Chun Ni for silver. If Chun Ni and I can both earn silver, they won't marry Chun Ni off as a child bride to that fool in the name of silver."
"Only you can save Chun Ni and me now. Please hire us for work, I can do any dirty or tiring tasks."
Mrs. Cao was afraid Tong Huaqiong wouldn't want to hire her, so she suddenly kneeled in front of Tong Huaqiong.
Chun Ni followed and knelt as well.
She knew that this was almost a form of coercion towards Tong Huaqiong.
But she really had no other choice; working as a hired hand at Tong Huaqiong's house was her only way out at the moment.
If she had another option, she wouldn't have come to plead with Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong said, "I can hire you to work in my fields, but I can't guarantee that Tian Fugui and Yan Pozi will change their minds about not marrying Chun Ni off as a child bride."
