After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 122 No regrets

Peng Yucheng naturally hopes that his children will have a bright future and does not want them to be unable to achieve their wishes in life because of him and his wife, and ultimately end up with resentment and hatred.

Taking all of this into account, Peng Yucheng did indeed intend to handle it this way.

Whether or not this can be done depends on Lü Xinyan's attitude at the time.

Although his original intention was for the whole family to repay Lü Xinyan's life-saving grace, Peng Yucheng knew even more that the children were all independent individuals and should not be forced to walk down a path they did not want to and miss out on the future they desired because of him and his wife.

If possible, Peng Yucheng will try his best to make arrangements.

However, Peng Yiyun shook her head at her father's words and replied, "Dad, there's no need to say that. We are a family. If there are difficulties, we will definitely face them together. I will not be selfish and only think of myself."

"Besides, what I told you from the beginning was that I would exchange my indenture for this, and I will not go back on my decision."

"As for what happens in the future, we'll see when the time comes."

Even knowing her parents meant well, Peng Yiyun wouldn't run away from such realities on her own.

He believed that since his father had said so, he would try his best to make plans for the three brothers.

However, after witnessing Lü Xinyan's abilities, Peng Yiyun admired Lü Xinyan even more and intended to stay by her side, serve her well, and fulfill his previous promises.

He still felt that Lü Xinyan was not simple at all. Since she thought highly of his family, she must have other plans for them, and not just want them to be servants who take care of and protect people.

Considering this situation, Peng Yiyun will not consider leaving for the time being.

Even if they repay their debt of gratitude in the future and have better future options, Peng Yiyun hopes that they will make a final decision only with Lü Xinyan's consent.

They will always remember this life-saving kindness.

After a pause, Peng Yiyun looked at her father, Peng Yucheng, and her mother, Cao Cuizhen, and continued, "Father, Mother, I know you are worried that I might have some resentment and do something irrational. However, Miss is very capable. I am truly willing to fulfill my promise and follow Miss and the others. It's not that I am unwilling."

“Miss saved us when we were on the verge of despair and collapse. I will remember this kindness and never forget it.”

"Moreover, Miss is quite capable. If we follow Miss from now on, it might be an opportunity for us."

Peng Yiyun had a premonition that this time, because of Lü Xinyan's intervention, the fate of his family had changed, and they would definitely have a different future.

With Lü Xinyan's great abilities, they're sure to fare well if they follow her.

As for the issue of his slave status, Peng Yiyun had actually noticed something about it. It was because Lü Xinyan didn't trust him that she needed to use this method to restrain him.

If he demonstrates his value and gets opportunities in the future, Lü Xinyan will not continue to make things difficult for him.

However, Peng Yiyun also had a vague feeling that Lü Xinyan could not truly trust him, even less than she trusted his father Peng Yucheng and his two younger brothers.

Although he found the discovery somewhat absurd and inexplicable, Peng Yiyun would try to figure it out once he had made a discovery.

If Lü Xinyan truly understood him and was wary of him, then this would be a much more interesting matter.

When their eldest son, Peng Yiyun, finished speaking, both Peng Yucheng and Cao Cuizhen were somewhat surprised.

After exchanging a glance, Peng Yucheng turned his head and looked at Peng Yiyun.

Seeing that Peng Yiyun wasn't joking but genuinely had such thoughts, Peng Yucheng frowned slightly.

However, seeing no sign of Peng Yiyun's impatience or pretense, Peng Yucheng withdrew his initial question.

After considering it for a while, Peng Yucheng nodded and said, "Okay, since you have made your decision, we will respect your ideas."

"However, since you have already decided to make this arrangement, then from now on, put aside any other thoughts, keep to your duties, do what you are supposed to do, and serve Miss."

"Since you say that Miss is capable, then we will decide how to handle the situation based on the circumstances. We will discuss it thoroughly with Miss."

After speaking, Peng Yucheng looked at Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong.

Noticing their father's gaze, Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong quickly nodded. Peng Yirong replied, "Dad, we and my eldest brother think the same way. We won't abandon you and Mom to pursue our own future."

“We are a family, and we should share the hardships together. We will definitely stay and will never go back on our word.”

“Miss is a very kind person. She gave us pills, as well as these cakes and water, which is enough for us to survive. We must repay Miss’s great kindness.”

After Peng Yirong finished speaking, Peng Yitong nodded his little head seriously and added in a soft, sweet voice, "We won't leave! Dad, Mom, we won't leave, we'll stay together!"

Although Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong are still young, they are already very sensible.

Knowing the enormous crisis their family was facing, and knowing that Lü Xinyan had saved their lives, and that their entire family's indenture had been handed over to Lü Xinyan, Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong understood that they were selling themselves into slavery and would become Lü family servants from now on, just like their previous servants.

Such a huge gap and change in identity were initially difficult for Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong to accept.

However, when they desperately begged for help by the roadside, but no one was willing to lend a hand, and they could only watch helplessly as their father and mother's condition worsened and they might even die as a result, they felt extremely desperate, as if the sky was about to fall.

Fortunately, Lü Xinyan's timely intervention saved their father and mother, preventing their family from being destroyed. Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong were extremely grateful for this.

They accepted this reality even earlier than their elder brother Peng Yiyun, and were willing to hand over their indentures, hoping that Lü Xinyan would come to their rescue.

Furthermore, Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong both knew that they should keep their promises instead of reneging on them after receiving benefits.

Selling themselves into slavery would indeed bring about a huge change in their status, but they would still insist on doing so.
