Chapter 179 She can only believe half of it

The two maids felt that this master was no ordinary person, and even though there were some waves in their hearts before, they had now calmed down.

Gu Xiaoxi brought the two girls home. Her family members were a little surprised to see her bring back two girls, but only Gu An understood her thoughts.

"There are many rooms at home, just bring it back and let it stay there." Gu An said.

Gu He reacted and spoke up: "Yes, yes, just stay here. We're not that particular at home, so don't call us Master or Madam. Just call us Uncle and Aunt like the kids in the village."

"Yes, yes, that's right, otherwise we won't be used to it." This is what Mrs. Chai meant.

Although she felt that it was a bit sudden for Xiaoxi to buy two girls, she could also understand it. After all, there were so many patients, and it would be tiring for Xiaoxi to take care of them alone.

Besides, Xiaoxi has the money in her hands, so she can do whatever she thinks is appropriate.

Seeing that her family accepted the two girls, Gu Xiaoxi also smiled.

After lunch, she took them to meet the two patients at home and told them what they should do in the next few days.

When the two maids heard that their master had cured the man who was lying in bed and unable to move, they were very surprised.

"Miss, you are so awesome!" Xia Yu said excitedly.

Qiu Shuang said with admiration, "Miss, Qiu Shuang admires people with great medical skills the most. I never thought that I would have a maid to be yours in this life. Qiu Shuang will definitely serve you well in the future."

Gu Xiaoxi was very satisfied with what they said. As long as they were willing to learn, she was willing to teach. After all, she really needed an assistant with some basic knowledge.

"As long as you have no second thoughts, I will teach you medical skills in the future. However, you have to tell me why you were made slaves?" She needed to know their past.

As for what the human trafficker said, she only believed half of it.

The two girls nodded after listening and told their life stories respectively.

Xia Yu was originally the daughter of a wealthy family in Pingyang City. The young master of their family had always liked her. However, one day, after the young master got married, the young lady couldn't stand her at all.

One day, she was deliberately made to make a mistake, and the young lady found the old lady and sold her out.

I thought the young master would say a few good words for me, but I didn't expect him to say a word and believe what the young lady said. Then she was sold to a human trafficker and ended up here.

As for the little medical skills she knew, they were all learned from the palace doctor. She was diligent and often helped the palace doctor, so the palace doctor taught her medical books.

However, her father died not long after she was born, and she depended on her mother for everything. Her mother also died of illness a few years ago, and now she has no worries.

Qiu Shuang's life is simpler than Xia Yu's. She grew up with her grandfather and was favored by a bully in Xinyuan City because she was pretty.

She would rather die than obey, and the bully falsely accused her grandfather of treating a dead person. Her grandfather died of anger soon after, and she was taken home by the bully.

Unexpectedly, the bully had a tigress at home, and before the bully could succeed, he was betrayed by the tigress.

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi had an idea in mind. She asked the two maids to help with the work and she left the house carrying a basket on her back.

When she came under the big tree, she climbed up to see if there was any news, but there was no note inside, so she had to go back and wait.

In the evening, Chen Qinian came back. In addition to Chen San, Chen Er also came. The master and servant each drove a carriage. One carriage was loaded with food and drinks, and the other two carriages were filled with people.

When he arrived at the door, Chen Qinian knocked on it first and then told Sister Xiaoxi about the situation.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn't believe that this guy was so fast. The bricks hadn't even been laid yet, but he had already arrived.

In desperation, she could only ask her uncle to arrange for someone to stay there first.

Then she called her eldest brother and the others to the kitchen for a family meeting.

When making bricks, outsiders are definitely not allowed to do it, only family members can do it.

Fortunately, she bought two maids today, giving her two more helpers.

In this way, the eldest and second brothers' plan to set up stalls was temporarily put on hold. After all, we couldn't let those people stay at home for too long.

"Xiaoxi, how about I deliver the dried tofu to Mrs. Tan's stall tomorrow morning and ask them to help sell it. We'll give her a minimum price. What do you think?" Gu Nanming thought of a way to continue making money.

"Of course, this way it won't waste everyone's time. I'll go with you to talk to Mrs. Tan tomorrow, there should be no problem on her side." Gu Xiaoxi said.

The matter was happily decided. That night, except for Gu Nanming, everyone else went to an empty yard to get bricks.

The next morning, Gu Xiaoxi and Gu Nanming drove a horse-drawn carriage to deliver the dried tofu they had made last night to the city.

After seeing Mrs. Tan, Gu Xiaoxi said, "Mrs. Tan, we have some things to do at home these days, so we thought about making the dried tofu and finding someone to sell it to us. We'll give a minimum price so that the seller can make some money.

After much thought, we can't trust anyone else, so we're thinking of leaving it to you guys."

"Of course, even if you don't charge me." Mrs. Tan did not forget Xiaoxi's help and agreed readily.

"That won't do. I've told you before that we have to make money together. I won't do anything for you that doesn't make money." Gu Xiaoxi was very happy to see Mrs. Tan agreed, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Tan would tell them a second happy thing.

Mrs. Tan pointed to a shop not far away and said, "Xiaoxi, the owner of that shop is moving away. We're interested in buying it. We'll buy it once we borrow some more money."

"How much silver is still missing?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

"That shop is quite small, costing eighty taels in total, and there's a yard at the back. If the boss wasn't in a hurry to leave, he wouldn't sell it at that price.

We are still short of twenty taels, so we plan to go back to the village and borrow from every household." Mrs. Tan didn't really have much confidence.

After all, most people in the village are poor, so I told Xiaoxi about this to see if Xiaoxi is willing to lend a helping hand?

However, it was just a gamble. After all, they had not known each other for long.

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi pulled Mrs. Tan along and said, "Let's go and cook it!"

"But, but, so much silver?" Mrs. Tan said worriedly.

"It's okay. I happen to have some money on me. Let's go! Let's buy it first. Shops are hard to come by. The location is so good and the price is really good." After saying that, Gu Xiaoxi pulled Mrs. Tan away.

The two men found the owner of the shop, quickly settled the matter, and then went to the government office to change the title deed, and the name on the shop became Mrs. Tan and her husband.

Mrs. Tan took the house deed and burst into tears on the spot.

After enduring for so many years, the couple finally made it through.

Although the shop is small, it is enough for them.

"Don't cry. You two are such a good couple. You will be even richer in the future." Gu Xiaoxi understood the joy of finally getting what you deserve after suffering.

Yeah yeah yeah!

Mrs. Tan wiped her tears and followed Gu Xiaoxi out the door.

As soon as I returned to the shop, I saw Tan Youcai thievingly dragging the landlord away.
