Chapter 515

Although Jizhou is not big, it is more fun than Qingshui Village. The two walked from one end to the other and back again, buying a lot of things. Both mother and daughter were sweating profusely, but they did not feel tired at all.

When I returned, the aroma of food filled the courtyard.

Madam Chen and Yunxi exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

Le'an didn't go with them today, but Le'an isn't a good cook either, is she?

The two entered the courtyard and saw an unfamiliar figure busy in the kitchen.

Madam Chen immediately became extremely alert, her first thought being that a thief had broken into her house.

But then I thought about it and it didn't make sense. What kind of thief would enter a house and then cook for the thief instead of stealing or robbing?

At this moment, Le'an heard the commotion and came out. She took two steps forward and said, "Miss, this is the cook I found outside. Her surname is Wu, and her cooking skills are excellent!"

Madam Chen was displeased upon hearing this: "You child, I'm already here, how could I let you go hungry?"

She hadn't even let Yunxi taste her cooking properly yet! Now, it's completely useless for her!

"Oh dear, Madam, you should just enjoy your life. How could we trouble you?" Le'an said with a smile. "This cook's skills are excellent. I went to several brokerage firms this morning to buy her. Let's keep her for now!"

As Le'an spoke, he glanced tentatively at Yunxi.

Yunxi nodded and said, "Le'an is right, Mother. You don't need to cook. Just let the cook do it."

Seeing that she agreed, Madam Chen sighed, "That's good, that's good. Luckily, I brought a lot of money with me on this trip. It should be enough to hire a cook!"

After saying that, Madam Chen looked at Le'an and frowned: "You silly girl, how can you be so shrewd? The young lady hasn't even said anything yet, and you've already invited the cook to the house!"

Le'an immediately knelt down: "Please forgive me, Madam. I will never do it again!"

Yunxi took Madam Chen's arm and walked forward: "Mother, you have no idea what kind of life we ​​were living before you came. Jixiang had to take care of me and cook. I had wanted to hire a cook for a long time, but I couldn't find a suitable one before you came. You are really my lucky star!"

As she walked forward, she gestured behind her to signal Le'an to get up.

“You little rascal,” Madam Chen said helplessly. “Fine, fine, since it’s your idea, then let’s go ahead and invite her. I’ll go get the money for you right away.”

“No need, I have money,” Yunxi said in a low voice. “After I go back, the Yun family will give me three or four thousand taels every month, and I’ve brought it with me.”

Madam Chen raised an eyebrow: "The Yun family treats you so generously?"

Yunxi nodded.

The Yun family was not only generous with money, but also incredibly generous in their arrangements for her marriage.

Madam Chen sighed again: "It's a pity that you earned this money by suffering injustice."

"I don't feel wronged anymore."

"......Too."

Now Yunxi has both leisure and money, and is finally living a good life.

And it's a real, tangible life that countless people envy!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen felt a little better.

Just then, Madam Wu, who had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, came out with a sumptuous lunch.

Madam Wu was about the same age as Madam Chen. She had a round face and round eyes, and a sturdy build. Because she had just been busy in the kitchen, her face was red from the smoke of the firewood, making her look adorable.

After setting out the dishes, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet Madam Chen and Yunxi: "This servant greets Madam and Miss."

Madam Chen glanced at the dazzling array of food on the table and nodded slightly: "Get up, thank you for your hard work."

"I wouldn't dare."

Yunxi couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Madam Chen.
