In her previous life, Chen Shuilin was a wicked mother-in-law notorious throughout the ten surrounding villages. Not only was she cruel to her daughter-in-law, but she was also unkind to her two du...
"Wow, so expensive?" Chen Shuilian couldn't believe it. A grown man was only sold for twenty taels. Is a little girl worth this price?
The broker smiled and patiently explained, "She is different from ordinary people. She is a maid sold from a wealthy family. She has worked in that family since she was a child. The manners she has learned are not comparable to those of ordinary maids. You can't find her on the market, so the price you see is really not expensive. She was only sent to our county. If she went to the capital, the price would probably double."
Chen Shuilian nodded slightly to show her understanding.
Although she thought the price was a bit expensive, she had to compare it with other things. This man had a lot of experience, so she felt more at ease taking care of Xiao Xing.
After all, compared to her filial and beloved granddaughter, this little money is nothing!
It's money worth spending!
On the way back, she brought her newly bought maid and visited a familiar boss.
It was because she heard last time that when his wife was pregnant, she ate bird's nest brought from the capital.
It is said that although this thing is expensive, it is good for women's bodies.
Now that Xiao Xing is pregnant, she naturally wants to buy it for her.
The boss laughed when he heard her intention. "That's right, I still have one pound left in my warehouse. You can take it if you want."
"Thank you very much. How much is it? I'll have someone send it to you later." Chen Shuilian looked at the man gratefully.
Those who can afford to eat bird's nests are very wealthy, so naturally they don't care about this little money.
He waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's only 20 taels per pound. There's no need to make such a hassle to send someone on a special trip. My family will be holding a banquet in a few days, and we can just use the money as a deduction then."
Chen Shuilian smiled happily and thanked him repeatedly, "Well, I won't be polite to you anymore. From now on, whenever you hold a banquet, even if there is no staff on that day, I will find a way for you to make sure that your banquet cannot be held."
"Okay, okay, Boss Chen, you are a straightforward person." The man nodded with great satisfaction.
What he wanted more than this little money was this privilege. He didn't expect that Boss Chen would be so considerate, which also made him very satisfied.
As long as she gets this promise, it doesn't matter even if I give her the twenty taels.
He was in a better mood, and naturally said with a smile: "My caravan will go to the capital city in the future. Just tell me when you are done eating, and I will ask them to bring it back."
"Thank you very much." Chen Shuilian was very satisfied after hearing this.
So she carefully brought the bird's nest back home.
This also made the maid beside her realize how important the young lady was in the lady's heart.
She could buy bird's nest at 20 taels per pound. The family she worked for before were reluctant to give it to pregnant women!
The gap was immediately apparent.
The little maidservant had not seen Li Xiaoxing at this time, but she already knew that she had to serve her with extreme caution.
After returning home, Chen Shuilian immediately took people to Li Xiaoxing's room.
"I have already bought the person back. She comes from a wealthy family in the capital. From now on, don't do anything else. Just tell her what you need."
The maid also nodded repeatedly, "Young Madam, my name is Xiao Cui. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me to do it."
Li Xiaoxing was a little uncomfortable when people called her that at first.
She nodded implicitly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard! It's what I should do~" Xiao Cui had just arrived and immediately showed her loyalty.
