Chapter 913 Hua Xian
Although Hua Xian didn't know who Shu Yu was, she knew that he was a kind person.
At the very least, it's much better than brothels.
What's more, she overheard the brokers talking yesterday, saying that a gruff old man wanted to buy two maids to serve him and planned to send her over.
If this girl hadn't bought her today, her fate would have been predictable.
Therefore, after Hua Xian bowed to Shu Yu, she gave Ding Yuehua a grateful curtsy.
Ding Yuehua waved her hand and said, "You've turned misfortune into blessing. It's your good fortune to be with Ayu. Take good care of him from now on, and you won't have a bad life."
Hua Xian was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the deeper meaning behind Ding Yuehua's words. She only understood after learning Shu Yu's identity.
Shu Yu then picked out a middle-aged couple at the brokerage firm. The couple used to be a cook and a kitchen helper at a restaurant. Later, their hometown was hit by a disaster, and they fled with the famine. They lost both of their children and were left destitute, forced to sell themselves.
They had been bought back by a tavern before, but unfortunately, when the owner's family was fighting amongst themselves, they became victims and were sold off again.
Shu Yu originally intended to hire a cook, but since the person in question was already a cook, it made things even more convenient for her.
Immediately afterwards, she booked a cleaning lady and a slightly younger coachman.
Apart from that, she didn't have any other favorites.
The five people walked out of the crowd, still somewhat apprehensive.
Shu Yu said to the broker, "I have some things to attend to, so I'll have to trouble you to deliver them to my home first. Here's an address; just explain the details to the people inside when you get there."
At this point in time, her father should be at the mansion.
Shu Yu still needed to visit other brokerage firms, so it wasn't appropriate for her to bring them along.
The broker immediately agreed, and Shu Yu went with him to complete the formalities.
After this incident, the brokers finally realized who she was, and they were quite surprised.
After Shu Yu and Ding Yuehua left, the broker said to Hua Xian and the other four, "You guys are really lucky. You might really have great fortune in the future."
The five people looked at each other, completely puzzled.
It wasn't until they followed the broker to Fenghuai Street and saw the large house that everyone realized that the girl who came to buy servants was none other than Lu Xiangjun, the woman who had been the talk of the town in Jiangyuan County these past two days.
Shu Yu selected five people from the first family, and then went to the official broker.
Once inside the carriage, Shu Yu couldn't help but think of what Ding Yuehua had mentioned about Hua Xian earlier; it seemed that the eldest young mistress of the Fan family was quite difficult to get along with.
It seems that getting married has made daily life more complicated.
Ding Yuehua noticed that she kept glancing at her, so she turned slightly to the side and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
On second thought, it dawned on him, "Is it because of Hua Xian's matter?"
Shu Yu nodded very honestly, "I heard you mention your eldest daughter-in-law, and she doesn't seem like someone easy to get along with?"
Mentioning this, Ding Yuehua pursed her lips. "My eldest sister-in-law married into the Fan family more than ten years before me. Back then, the Fan family wasn't as wealthy as they are now. The daughters-in-law they chose, while not from humble backgrounds, were certainly not as good as my second sister-in-law and my family. My second sister-in-law was gentle, and since my second brother had passed away, she and her daughter lived a secluded life and didn't attract attention. My family was no less powerful than the Fan family. I was the eldest daughter in the family, loved by my parents and brothers, had a generous dowry, and was cherished by my husband. She was jealous of me, so naturally she found me an eyesore."
