"Okay, stand at the back."

Yan Xia took another sip of tea. As soon as she put the teacup down, Xiao Ji picked up a kettle and added some hot water for her, not forgetting Zou Yaren as well.

Very perceptive.

This caused Zou Yaren to frequently urge her on.

She secretly thought that Yan Xia was very good at disciplining her servants.

Even a lowly maid is so clever.

"This is Wang Yangdi. She was orphaned at a young age and raised by her uncle. Because of her ugly appearance, she couldn't get married, so she was sold to our brokerage. But don't let her appearance fool you, she's very hardworking and doesn't talk much. Don't worry, Manager Yan, the people I've chosen are all top-notch."

Zou Yaren was worried when he saw Wang Yangdi. This girl had been in their shop for more than half a year, but they hadn't sold anything. They had given her uncle one and a half taels of silver back then.

Who knew that even the principal couldn't be kept? If Manager Yan still refused to take her, Zou the broker would have no choice but to sell her to Master Li's family.

Master Li was a Pixiu.

He was used to tormenting his servants, and this girl was pitiful enough. Zou Yaren didn't want to bring her along to offend Manager Yan.

But in the end, she softened her heart.

He called her along before leaving.

"If I bought you, and suddenly someone offered you a hundred taels of silver to mix rat poison into the pastries in my shop, what would you do?"

Yan Xia thought she was a bit too ugly, with a face full of spots, a bulbous nose, squinty eyes, and a big mole on her face. As someone who values ​​appearance, Yan Xia was somewhat dissatisfied, but she knew that she couldn't judge a person based on their looks, so she decided to give the girl in front of her a chance.

“I will take the hundred taels and hand them over to my master, then tell him about this and lie to him that I let him go, so that he can proceed with the next step of the plan, so that my master can find this person and send him to jail.”

Wang Yangdi's voice was very different from her appearance; it was soft and delicate, like a baby's voice. But what she said made Yan Xia's eyes widen.

I never expected that the girl, who seemed so honest and well-behaved, would have such a personality that she was so to my liking.

"Are you willing to sign a death contract?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yangdi knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Thank you, Master. I am willing. I will do whatever you ask me to do from now on. Thank you for keeping me here."

"Okay, stand at the back."

There are already three people behind Yan Xia.

She slightly raised her chin, signaling Zou Yaren to continue his introduction.

Zou Ya was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that Manager Yan would actually take a liking to Wang Yangdi. Finally, he had found a good match for this little girl.

The water-pouring maidservant beside Manager Yan was dressed in silk and had a silver bracelet on her wrist. Because of this, Manager Yan wouldn't mistreat her. Zou Ya was overjoyed, and his voice was filled with excitement when he introduced her.

"This is Yao'er..."

After the introduction, Yan Xia shook her head.

The young girl in front of her was pretty, fair-skinned and delicate, with hands without a single callus, suggesting she had never done any manual labor. Her eyes didn't wander, and her voice was like a nightingale's, quite lovely. However, she wasn't suitable for her shop; she needed someone who could do the work, not just a pretty face.

"This is Xiaolian..."

Yan Xia waved her hand. This one was even worse. She was too young and had a timid look in her eyes. When Zou Yaren introduced her, Yan Xia saw that her wrists were trembling. If she bought her, she would cry after being scolded a few times. Yan Xia couldn't handle that.

I was dissatisfied with all three introductions I received.

Only three old women remained.

This was specially brought by Zou Yaren, Yan Xia, because she needed to find a postpartum nanny for her daughter-in-law.

While taking care of her daughter-in-law during her postpartum period, she also had to look after her granddaughter.

"This is the An family..."

"This is Dow Chemical..."

"The last one is from the Zhu family..."

Zou Yaren simply introduced all three old women together, allowing Yan Xia to choose one.

The first one is a bit older. Although she is widowed, she has a married daughter, so Yan Xia is not considering her for the time being.

The second one was the right age and looked kind. She had never had children and had worked in the embroidery workshop before. She was kicked out because of an eye injury. Yan Xia checked her eyes and said that the injury was probably just nearsightedness, but not very severe. She could only see things slightly blurry, but it didn't affect her vision.

The third woman was a refugee who had three children, all of whom died one after another. Her husband divorced her to continue the family line and found a second wife. To support herself and not wanting to remarry, she sold herself into slavery.

"Which of you is willing to sign a death contract?"

Yan Xia's gaze fell on the two people behind her.

“Master, I am willing.”

The second person, Tao, knelt on the ground without hesitation for even a second.

After a moment's thought, Zhu also knelt on the ground.

Everyone has finished reading it.

Just as Zou Yaren was about to speak, the first person, An Shi, crawled to Yan Xia's side on her knees.

"Shopkeeper, I'm willing too. Please give me a way to live. I know I'm old, but I'm hardworking. I haven't seen my daughter for over ten years. Please, buy me. Even if you only let me eat one meal a day, I'll take care of the children and make sure you take good care of your grandchildren."

She cried uncontrollably.

Her pale hair fell around her ears, and An's hands were covered in calluses, suggesting she had suffered a lifetime of hardship.

"this...."

Yan Xia's eyebrows furrowed slightly, forming a "川" shape.

“Mr. An, step back! This is rude!”

Zou Yaren rarely gets angry.

He knew that Yan Xia didn't like An Shi, and if he let An Shi cry and wail, he would only offend Manager Yan.

An, who had been scolded, could only stand up and retreat. She wiped away her tears, which flowed again and again.

"Why do you insist that I buy you? If you are diligent, there will naturally be many people who want to buy you."
