Chapter 108 Vigilance
Upon hearing Lü Xinyan's words, Peng Yiyun's expression changed instantly.
He didn't know what Lü Xinyan meant either.
He wanted to ask for help, and he also realized that Lü Xinyan's family was not simple. They were the people he had seen so far who had the best chance of saving his parents, which is why he came to beg for help.
However, from Lü Xinyan's words, Peng Yiyun sensed that she knew their family very well and knew their secrets, which made Peng Yiyun even more vigilant.
If this person really knew their family's secret and still wanted them to sell themselves into slavery, did they have some other ulterior motive?
Realizing this, Peng Yiyun raised her head and met Lü Xinyan's knowing yet composed gaze.
Seeing Lü Xinyan's gaze, Peng Yiyun was surprised and alarmed. She realized that this person probably already knew all about their family's secrets.
He never expected that the people he encountered this time would offer him such terms, truly wanting them to sell themselves into slavery.
If he chooses to agree to Lü Xinyan's demands, then his family will truly become slaves, and they may not even be able to turn their lives around.
Judging from Lü Xinyan's behavior, she must have been impressed by their skills or something else, which is why she negotiated terms with them in this way.
If they really agree, then the indenture will likely have to be based on Lü Xinyan's demands, and they will lose more of their initiative.
The consequences would be far more severe, and Peng Yiyun needs to carefully consider whether she can afford it and whether it is necessary to do so.
But if he doesn't agree, then his plea for help here, which he's playing the victim for, will become a lie, and he'll seem insincere.
He had just said those words, and if he were to go back on his word now, it would be difficult for him to ask Lü Xinyan to save him.
In that case, his father and mother would really have no way to survive.
He didn't have much time to make a decision, and he didn't really have much room for choice. Peng Yiyun was even more troubled by this, but he was still thinking quickly about a solution and did not directly agree to Lü Xinyan's request.
Even though he was the one who spoke first, now that it's time to put it into practice, Peng Yiyun needs to reconsider the man's abilities and intentions to avoid plunging his family into an even greater crisis and trap.
He didn't know Lü Xinyan, who was negotiating with him, and they didn't trust each other. Peng Yiyun needed to make a more appropriate choice after Lü Xinyan specifically emphasized these points.
This made Peng Yiyun fall into deep thought, and her brows furrowed tightly.
Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong, who were standing nearby, were both young, but they had overheard the gist of the conversation and knew that Lü Xinyan wanted their entire family to sell themselves into slavery in exchange for a chance to save their parents.
Hearing Lü Xinyan say this, Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong were somewhat tempted, hoping that their elder brother Peng Yiyun would agree so that Lü Xinyan could come and treat their parents as soon as possible, lest they miss such an important opportunity.
My parents' condition is already very bad, and we really can't delay any longer.
Especially according to Lü Xinyan's statement, forcing their entire family to sell themselves into slavery naturally included their father and mother. In other words, Lü Xinyan had the ability to save their parents, which is why she considered forcing their entire family into slavery.
They certainly knew what selling themselves into slavery meant, and they knew that their elder brother had said those things at the beginning, but he didn't really want to do them, he didn't really want them to sell themselves into slavery.
Moreover, Lü Xinyan's intentions also included their father and mother; the whole family had signed indentures to serve Lü Xinyan in the future, which was something they really needed to think carefully about.
However, when Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong turned to look at their father and mother, who were barely breathing and in extremely bad condition, their hearts instantly became even heavier.
Regardless of whether they agree or not, their primary task remains to save their father and mother.
Only if their father and mother are alright and they are with them, will their family not fall apart like this.
The two brothers were rather simple-minded. Even though they knew that selling themselves into slavery would have a huge impact on their future, they hoped even more to save their father and mother, and for their family to stay together without any mishaps.
Only by surviving can they have the opportunity to dream about the future.
If they can't even survive, then everything they have is destroyed, and talking about anything else becomes meaningless and worthless.
Although they thought this way, they still respected their eldest brother Peng Yiyun's decision even more and would not say anything at such a crucial moment, but waited for their eldest brother Peng Yiyun to make the decision himself.
Whether it's good or bad, the three brothers and their family will face it together.
Peng Yiyun naturally understood Peng Yirong and Peng Yitong's thoughts.
He also hoped that his father and mother would get better, and especially hoped that nothing bad would happen to his family.
Only by surviving can they hope to avenge themselves.
If they can't even survive, then they have no future or prospects to speak of.
Even so, for Peng Yiyun, selling himself into slavery meant far too much. At the very least, it meant a change in their status, making it difficult for them to escape slavery in the future, and blocking all other prospects.
Selling oneself into slavery sounds easy, but in practice, they need to consider many more aspects.
For this reason, although Peng Yiyun had mentioned it from the beginning, when it came to the real decision, she was not in a hurry to agree to Lü Xinyan's request.
Moreover, the person in front of him really has a way to save his father and mother, and isn't just fooling them.
With these questions in mind, Peng Yiyun didn't rush to answer. Instead, he looked at Lü Xinyan, observing her expression and hoping to glean some further information.
Seeing that Peng Yiyun hadn't answered yet, Lü Xinyan couldn't help but chuckle and continued, "You see, you should have other ways to handle this. You don't really want to sell yourself into slavery and exchange it for a chance to save your parents, as you said at the beginning, right?"
"You know perfectly well that your parents' condition is already so bad and can't be delayed, but you still don't want to pay too high a price or harm your own interests, right?"
"Since you have other ways out, then stop blocking us and figure out a solution yourselves."
