Xie Yunjiao looked at the two timid children, and she suddenly remembered the scene when she first met Doudou.
He was so thin, and his eyes looked so helpless and scared.
But he was willing to share his only food with her and called her mother.
A child's feelings are pure and purposeless.
When Xie Yunjiao approached, the two children huddled around their mother in fear, calling out softly, "Mother."
The woman slowly opened her eyes and was stunned when she saw Xie Yunjiao.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you with your medical treatment."
As she spoke, Xie Yunjiao placed her hand on the woman's wrist to feel her pulse.
Although my body is very weak, as long as I eat well and take good care of myself, I will get better soon.
It’s not that he has a serious illness, Xie Yunjiao has an idea.
She deliberately took the man out before saying, "Two taels of silver can buy four people. It's really a good deal. I'll buy it."
"His woman is almost dying of illness. She can't be lifted or moved. What's the use of her?" said the beautiful girl angrily.
"I spend money just to have fun, why do you care about me?" Xie Yunjiao said.
After having the matchmaker handle the formalities, Xie Yunjiao left with the man and his family.
Xie Yunjiao chatted with them along the way and found out that the man's surname was Gao. He used to be a housekeeper in a small wealthy family. Later, his master's business failed and he was in debt, so he sold them to a matchmaker at a low price and moved away with his family.
When Xie Yunjiao heard that the man was a housekeeper and could manage the accounts, she was overjoyed and felt like she had found a treasure.
What she hates most is counting. Now someone comes to help her reduce the workload. How can she not be happy?
When Gao Jiajia saw Xie Yunjiao taking them in a carriage and heading out of the city, his heart skipped a beat.
I wondered if Xie Yunjiao was really like what the beautiful girl just said, that her family had no money and couldn't even afford a full meal?
As the carriage went further and further away, the high-ranking official's heart became heavier and heavier, and he felt a little regretful.
If he had known this, he shouldn't have agreed.
Although they had no say as servants being sold, if he caused trouble and disrupted the transaction at the beginning, he might be punished by the matchmaker and not be able to eat, but he would not have to follow Xie Yunjiao to the countryside to be abused.
It was not until he returned to Hexi Village and looked at its appearance that Gao Jia was shocked.
How come he had never seen such a beautiful countryside before? The village looked great and was not at all as dirty and messy as he had imagined. It was even cleaner and tidier than the city!
Is this a dream?
When they arrived at Xie Yunjiao's new house, Mr. Gao was even more surprised.
This house is so beautiful, even more beautiful than his previous master's house.
Xie Yunjiao arranged for them to live in the east wing of the first courtyard, so that they could guard the house and go out to do things.
They entered the house and saw it, and they loved it.
I didn’t expect that servants like them could live in such a nice house.
"Daddy, mommy, am I dreaming?" The little girl was called Dongmei. She looked around excitedly and asked.
My younger brother Li Qiu also looked very excited.
Even the head of the family was incredulous: "Dongmei, come here and pinch Daddy's hand to see if it hurts."
It's so unreal, like a dream!
"Oh, it really hurts. It turns out it wasn't a dream!" said the senior executive.
Xie Yunjiao just arrived at the door and heard the Gao family say this. She couldn't help but laugh: "Of course it's not a dream. If you work hard, I won't treat you unfairly. But if you dare to be lazy, don't blame me for being rude."
"Madam, we won't be lazy." The senior family member said hurriedly.
The Gao family's wife was called Xiuying. She forced herself to kneel before Xie Yunjiao and said, "Madam, your kindness will never be forgotten by our Gao family. We will do our best to work for you. Don't worry."
As long as I have breath left in me, I will help you with the work."
"Don't talk about this for now. I've prescribed some medicine for you. You'll feel better after drinking it." Xie Yunjiao said.
The senior executive was stunned for a moment: "Madam, can you also treat illnesses?"
He thought Xie Yunjiao would buy his wife back and then abandon her to fend for herself.
After all, the four of them only weighed two taels, which was not worth anything at all, so it wouldn't matter if one of them died.
"I've only learned the basics, but it's enough to treat your wife's illness. Let me tell you, I bought all of you with my money, so none of you can be in any harm." Xie Yunjiao said.
She didn't want to be nice to them right away, lest they think she was easy to bully.
But she didn't expect that her willingness to treat Liu Xiuying was a great favor to Gao's family.
Liu Xiuying felt much better after drinking the medicine prescribed by Xie Yunjiao. She went to bed early after dinner. The next morning, she felt much more energetic. She no longer felt as weak as before and could not stand steadily.
"Why are you up so early to make breakfast? Don't you want to take a break?" As soon as Xie Yunjiao walked to the kitchen door, she saw Liu Xiuying and Dongmei busying around.
Although Dongmei can't cook, she helps Xiuying and helps Xiuying watch the fire.
Seeing that all the ingredients were available in the kitchen, Xiuying cooked some porridge and also stir-fried some side dishes.
"Madam, I feel much better after drinking the medicine you gave me. I can get out of bed and start working."
Xie Yunjiao bought them back to work with real money, so she couldn't be lazy.
Xie Yunjiao took her pulse again and found that her health had indeed improved a lot, so she said nothing more.
"Okay, I see you cook well, so you will be the one cooking for everyone from now on," said Xie Yunjiao.
This way, even if she went to work in town, she wouldn't have to worry about Gu Huai and Ye Baien going hungry while practicing martial arts at home.
"I steamed some buns." said Liu Xiuying.
Her family used to live in the north, so she is good at making steamed buns.
In the past, her former family loved to eat the steamed buns she made with side dishes for breakfast.
"Is it a lot? If so, I'll ask Doudou to take some to the college to eat." Xie Yunjiao glanced at Dongmei.
"If she and Liqiu want to go to the village Mengguan to study, they should finish their housework early so they can go and study."
Liu Xiuying was completely stunned and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
"Madam, are you telling the truth? Can Li Qiu go to the Mengguan to study?"
"Yes, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do any work at such a young age. It would be better for him to learn more knowledge and see if he can be of help in the future."
Liu Xiuying was so moved that tears streamed down her face like a pearl necklace with a broken string.
She had complained to God when her family moved away from their former master's house and were abandoned here, but now she wanted to thank God for letting them meet someone like Xie Yunjiao.
They must have used up all their life's luck to meet such a good master like Xie Yunjiao!
Liu Xiuying was only thinking about her youngest son Liqiu going to school, but she forgot about Dongmei.
"Ma'am, you mean I can go to school too?"
