pawn wife

Chapter 129 129: This time I really picked up the treasure (one more)
When Chang Xi looked at him with displeasure, Jin Guanshi couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat, he hurriedly growled at the young man who was following him, "Why don't you hurry up and see what happened?"

The boy didn't dare to delay, so he hurried over to see what was going on.

A group of women in the yard stretched their necks and looked out curiously, and then they whispered, discussing what is going to happen?
The two looked at each other, with worry in their eyes, could it be that Aunt Osmanthus, who had been following behind but was stopped by them in the end, was making trouble?
"She's not so bold, is she?" Fang Lizheng asked uncertainly.

Li Lizheng, who was younger, frowned, and his heart was already racing. If Aunt Osmanthus caused trouble, how would they defend themselves so that the female boss above would not be angry?

Just because she was afraid of something, at this moment, the boy who went out to check the situation escorted a peasant woman in. The peasant woman looked timid, but she walked in with her back straight. Without too much struggle.

The woman's slightly weird behavior made Chang Xi narrow her eyes with interest. What's going on?
But Liangli and a large group of women who came for interviews stared wide-eyed, and someone immediately recognized the peasant woman, "Isn't this Aunt Osmanthus?"

Aunt Osmanthus?
Only then did Chang Xi look more at the peasant woman who was escorted in front of her, and looked her up and down several times. She was about 30 years old, but she was not sure. After all, most of the women in the village now looked younger because of their poverty. Actual age is much older.

Compared with most of the women who came to interview today, her clothes are not the best, but they are the cleanest. Even her hair can be seen that it has been washed yesterday, and at this time she is tied in a bun. It was a little loose, but it could be seen that it was tidied up very neatly, and then her eyes fell on her feet. A pair of very old black cloth shoes were covered with patches, but, except for some dirt and dust, the other parts of the upper were It is also very clean.

"Let go of her hand first."

Hearing her order, the servant hurriedly glanced at Guanshi Jin, but Guanshi glared at him. Didn't this stuffy man hear Madam Chang's order?
Although Xie Jiuye didn't stay in Chang's house these two nights, he didn't seem to care, but in fact he knew that the people around Xie Jiuye were watching Chang's every move. They didn't care, so what did they care about? ?

Regardless of whether she is a pawn wife or not, as long as the master cares, then this woman is valuable and worthy of his fawning. If she can return to the mansion to serve her, it is better than staying in another courtyard.

The boy quickly let go of the woman's hand.

Only then did Chang Xi see her hands. The nails were cut very short and semicircular. Although the color was not rosy, they were still clean. People who can't eat enough in this era naturally don't have a healthy complexion. common sense thing.

Through these small details, she found out that this woman still meets the conditions she proposed before, but why is she not among the candidates recommended by the two?

She's still weird about it.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Aunt Osmanthus didn't dare to look directly at Chang Xi, her aggressive behavior was enough to embarrass her, but when she thought of the hungry two children at home, she had to muster up the courage to look up at Chang Xi quickly. Xi, then lowered her head and said, "People in the village call me Aunt Osmanthus. I heard that there is a cook here. I... I am here to sign up. I cook very quickly. I will definitely not be lazy. If you don't believe me, I can I swear..." After speaking, she couldn't help becoming anxious, and dared to look up at Chang Xi, expressing to her how urgently she needed this job.

Chang Xi knew at a glance that this woman named Aunt Osmanthus was driven into a desperate situation, and obviously she was isolated by other people in the village, so she mustered up the courage to find a way out for herself.

Fang Li hurriedly said, "Aunt Osmanthus cannot be invited, she is ordered by Kefu, whoever gets close will be unlucky, so it's not that we don't sign up for her, but that she is an unlucky person."

"That's right, she..."

Afterwards, a lot of women also talked about the bad luck of being close to Aunt Osmanthus, some of which were so outrageous that Chang Xi wanted to laugh.

What Kefu fate, she never believed in the fallacy of fate, compared with these, the human heart is more sinister.

Of course, it doesn't matter if she doesn't think so, what matters is what the person concerned thinks, so when a group of women said the same thing, she raised her hand to signal them to stop, and looked directly at Aunt Osmanthus who kept her head down and said nothing, " Do you also think that you are an unlucky person for Kefu?"

If Aunt Osmanthus also thinks that she is an unlucky person, then she will not give her a chance. What she needs is someone who can create value, not someone who does charity.

When she has no money and no contacts, how can she be qualified to do charity?If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. This is the norm.

Aunt Osmanthus clenched her fists. She thought of her two husbands. One was killed by a wild animal while hunting in the mountains, and the other accidentally fell into the sea and drowned while carrying a big bag in the city. These were all accidents. Can you blame her? ?
However, everyone blamed her, saying that her bad luck killed them. The two husbands' families did not allow her to enter the house, and even her grandson refused to recognize her.

The two husbands have left, and each left a child, what can she do?
She doesn't eat or drink, the child needs to eat and drink, so if she doesn't fight against fate to give herself a chance, then she can only starve to death with the two children.

So, she bravely raised her head to look at Chang Xi, "No, I don't believe in this fate."

"Aunt Osmanthus, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Lizheng shouted, is this stupid woman trying to make the whole village an enemy?She said it as if the villagers were persecuting her, hmph, don't you think what kind of guy you are?
Looking up at Chang Xi, he said, "This sweet-scented osmanthus has lost her mind and went crazy. Let's arrest her and not let her delay things..."

When Aunt Osmanthus Flower heard this, her face showed fear, and she would have no way out when she went back. She might not even be able to keep her thatched cottage and would be driven out of the village, so she could only advance but not retreat, so she knelt down and kowtowed to Chang Xi, "This My lord, I will definitely work hard..."

Li Lizheng didn't give her a chance to speak, but gave Fang Lizheng a look, and the two big men stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Osmanthus like a chick, about to drag her out.

Aunt Osmanthus struggled desperately, she looked at Chang Xi pleadingly.

"Wait a minute!"

Just when she was about to despair, she finally heard Chang Xi's voice. At this time, she was already in tears, and felt that this voice was really the most beautiful voice in the world.

Li Lizheng wanted to drag Aunt Osmanthus away without hesitation, but was blocked by Guanshi Jin. Seeing Guanshi Jin looking at him with a half-smile, he had no choice but to let go of Aunt Osmanthus's arm.

Fang Lizheng had no choice but to let go.

Seeing Aunt Osmanthus who was free, Chang Xi quickly got up again, trotted to her and was about to kneel down again, but she hurriedly reached out to stop her, "Don't kneel anymore, how about this, I'll give you an errand, you've done it, I'll let you stay."

"What's the matter? My lord, please tell me."

"You can just call me Mrs. Chang." Chang Xi said lightly, pointing to the group of women waiting for job candidates below, "Your duty is to pick ten suitable cooks, go."

She wanted to see how capable and disposition the woman in front of her was, which was related to how she planned to use her.

Aunt Osmanthus didn't expect that Chang Xi would entrust her with such a task, she turned her head and looked at the group of women who disliked her on weekdays, all of them changed their expressions, she felt indescribably relieved, but also faintly sad.

A group of women also looked closely at Aunt Osmanthus, sweating in their palms. This is to hand over their fate at this moment to her. Will Aunt Osmanthus take revenge for her injustice?Especially the few women who usually taunted Aunt Osmanthus most ruthlessly, now their faces are full of frustration, it seems that this time there is no play.

Xiaotao, who was watching from the side, sympathized with Aunt Osmanthus's experience, her lips moved a little, and wanted to remind Aunt Osmanthus of the selection criteria set by Mrs. Chang before, but she saw Chang Xi secretly shook her head at her, This is to signal her to keep quiet.

She won't disobey Mrs. Chang's order, so she can only stand aside and watch, no matter how sympathetic she is, she can't betray the Lord.

Aunt Osmanthus bowed towards Chang Xi, summoned up the courage to walk towards the women who usually stand proudly in front of her, at this moment she gradually put away her nervousness, she has come to this point, she must take this opportunity catch.

No one gave her a hint, and she didn't know what criteria Chang Xi needed to choose a cook, but she thought that cooking was inseparable from the word "clean", as long as she selected people around these two words, there should be nothing wrong. No hatred, she can't care about it now.

Chang Xi just watched Aunt Osmanthus's actions quietly. Of course, some people took the opportunity to develop a relationship with Aunt Osmanthus and wanted her to choose her.

And she took another look at the woman Aunt Osmanthus passed by. This woman's face was not washed clean, no wonder Aunt Osmanthus didn't take another look at her.

Seeing this, she chuckled, this time she really picked up the treasure, this Aunt Osmanthus is quite perceptive, and she knew what her requirements were in a short period of time, as a rural woman who could not read a single word , this can be said to be talent.

Next, Aunt Osmanthus made a behavior that surprised everyone. She actually picked out a woman who said bad things about her before. Even the woman herself was surprised. In the end, she could only Stand out to the other side with eyes full of complexity.

I thought I was going to be eliminated, but Aunt Osmanthus chose me regardless of the previous suspicions. This woman was rare silent, and it was the first time to reflect on whether she had done too much before?
Chang Xi really raised her eyebrows this time. Aunt Osmanthus not only has good understanding, but she also has a pretty good heart. But then she figured it out, what a smart person does, what she needs most now is this job, So all grievances and hatreds have to be put aside temporarily.

Most people may not be able to answer this multiple-choice question.

If Aunt Osmanthus can read and write like Xiaotao, will this Aunt Osmanthus bring her even more surprises?
