Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 37 Rewards and Punishments
Mother Xu knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Chen: "Ma'am, the family of slaves and servants has nothing to repay, so they can only be utterly heartbroken..."

Mrs. Chen ordered the girl to help her up, and said: "Miss Qin, have you seen someone else again? How can you say that you also nursed their brothers, but whenever there is a chance, can I not pull their nurse brothers to nurse their nephews? In the future Brother Cheng is promising, and Xiao San'er and Xiao Liu'er can also get help, right?"

After all, Madam Xu sat down again wiping the corners of her eyes, but she didn't calm down.

Mrs. Chen then asked: "Are those two girls, Manman and Yongfang, still honest?"

Xu's mother nodded and said: "They are all very sensible, especially Manman, who spends the day sewing in the house, and my brother takes care of his food and daily life as soon as he comes back. , the old slave looks hard..."

Mrs. Xu left, Madam Lian, the dowry mother next to Mrs. Chen, stepped forward to change the tea. Seeing Mrs. Chen's fatigue, she said, "This Mrs. Xu is also really interesting. I came here just to praise Liu Ye's two concierges." girl?"

Mrs. Chen snorted and said, "You think she's here to praise?"

Mama Lian said in a daze: "What is it if it's not a compliment? The servant girl heard all the good things from the beginning to the end."

Mrs. Chen rubbed her brows, her face darkened for a while before she said: "I see that Xiaoliu'er has grown up a lot recently, so it's because of that girl." Buying books and pianos is quite a hassle.

This is a good thing, even if she is a girl, as long as she is willing to listen to what she says, it is for his own good, Madam Chen is still happy to see it come true.It's not like Xu's mother doesn't understand this truth, but she came here to talk to her with her heart full of thoughts. Could it be that she saw something bad?

Manman was drying the clothes when Mama Lian suddenly brought in two little girls. Manman was startled and rushed to greet her.

Mama Lian was very fair and round, but her eyes were slightly narrower. She smiled and said, "Isn't it Manman? Get up, this old slave can't be such a big gift as a girl."

Manman said softly: "Mom was joking."

Mother Lian raised her chin again, and said, "There is another girl named Yong Fang, right? My wife has a reward, let her come out to pick it up too."

A little girl had already gone to call Yong Fang, but it happened that Yong Fang was not there, Mother Lian nodded slightly, and said: "She's not here, so that's all, when she comes back, ask her to kowtow to the wife herself."

Manman was worried about Yongfang's absence at first, and Mother Lian was afraid that she would take the opportunity to make trouble, so she didn't want to let it go like this lightly, so she thanked her sincerely: "Thank you mom, I will definitely tell Yongfang."

A few people stood in the middle of the courtyard, Manman said: "Please come in and sit down, my servant will make you a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

But Mother Lian raised her hand and said, "No need. I'll go back after I've handed out my wife's reward." As soon as she raised her hand, two little girls came up and held Manman one by one from the left and the other from the right. With an effort, Manman had to bend down.

Look at the meaning, it is to ask her to kneel down and listen to the reward.

Manman was about to struggle, but the little girl suddenly kicked her knee. She was in pain, and she had to kneel if she didn't kneel.

Manman's heart felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured into her heart, she froze for a moment, her heart was completely chilled from the inside out.

Although she didn't have any extravagant hopes for a reward, but seeing this posture, she knew it was not a good intention.

For a while, she only looked up at Mother Lian, but she didn't say a word.

ask why?How could she have the right to ask?Ask them what they want to do?This is not obvious, either beating or scolding, the so-called reward originally meant this.How dare they ask?Why dare not, I am a slave, but mother Lian came here under the order of her master, she was beaten to death, and if she reported a sudden illness to the outside world, who would hold her accountable?
Manman really didn't understand what she did wrong to get such treatment. Could it be that she was punished because she offended the master and the uncle and was known by the wife?

Mama Lian stopped laughing a long time ago, stared at Manman condescendingly and said: "My wife heard that the sixth master has made a lot of progress recently, and that it was all thanks to Miss Manman. ..."

Manman said bitterly: "This is the job of a servant, and a servant dare not take credit, let alone be ashamed."

Mother Lian sneered silently, and ordered: "Twenty palms."

One of the little girls let go of Manman, without saying a word, she bowed left and right, and after twenty blows, Manman's cheeks immediately swelled up.

Manman is clear in her heart, knowing that Mrs. Chen doesn't intend to make a big deal, otherwise she wouldn't just let the little girl beat her.Looking at her clothes, one can tell that although she is young, she should be doing delicate work in the wife's room, and the strength in her hands is not strong, otherwise, after twenty slaps, her teeth should be loose.

But even so, the beating made Manman's eyes stare and her head dizzy.

For a moment she wanted to stand up, to fight back.

When had she ever been insulted like this?This was the first time she had tasted the feeling of being directly humiliated after arriving in this other world.Kneeling, claiming to be a slave, she can tolerate no human rights, no freedom, because she has always had the idea of ​​leaving the Chen Mansion, but now, she has to wonder if she will survive to the day when she goes out.

But she couldn't ignore the hand on her shoulder.

This girl should be younger than her, and her hands are not big, but she firmly pressed her shoulders. Although she was not so sleepy that she couldn't move, it was enough to make Manman vigilant.What this girl represents is not only her coercive power, but also the power headed by Mrs. Chen, Mr. Chen, Chen Yun and others.

With her status as a weak woman, and the contract of selling herself is in Mrs. Chen's hands, what resistance does she have?
So after several struggles, Manman still knelt and did not move.

Mother Lian is quite satisfied with Manman's performance.She looked down at Manman's pale face, and said: "Madam said, if you make meritorious deeds, you will be rewarded. If you persuade Jian Liuye to be meritorious, I will give you a piece of emerald blue cloud satin and a pair of hollow gold hairpins."

This is a typical slap and a sweet date.

Manman didn't pick it up at this time, and if he didn't pick it up, he would be ignorant of flattery.She silently raised her hands and took the heavy tray.

Mother Lian hadn't finished her training, and said again: "Madam knows that you have always been dedicated. This is a good thing. As a human being, you must first consider your own self-interest. If you choose Liu Ye, you must put Liu Ye first in everything... As a person, you should know the current affairs, have self-knowledge, what should be done, what should not be done, what should be thought, what should not be thought, you have to have a plan , if you are confused, you can ask your wife first, but don't be smart and make up your own mind..."

　Ask for support.
