"Absolutely, absolutely, whatever Uncle Dashan says, we as husband and wife have no objections." He Sanlai hurriedly agreed, fearing that if he was too slow, this good opportunity would slip away.
Gu Dashan said, "Since you both agree, then sign the indenture."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jin'an went back to the room to fetch pen and ink and white paper, and began writing the indenture.
Third Grandpa asked Gu Dashan to call over Village Chief He to act as a witness.
He also asked He Sanlai, "Have you brought the family registry? Bring the family registry here."
After selling oneself into servitude, if there are still family members at home, simply remove the name of the person sold from the family registry. If there is no one left, the registry must be taken and handed over to the master.
"I didn't bring it. I'll go back and get it now," He Sanlai quickly got up and ran home to fetch the family registry.
