Chapter 189 Chen Ma
Before Cui Qingyi could make any move, the woman who was hugging Cui Qingyi's thigh began to cry loudly, "Wow, wow, my lady, you are such a good person, thank you for letting me stay.
From now on, I will work like a slave to repay your kindness, but I have a request that you make.
The grandson of one of my elderly sisters is coming with me to Dongping County. Could you please buy him as well and let him stay with me?
The poor child lost both his parents and even his only grandmother died of illness. He was so pitiful.
If you can keep him, we will remember your kindness in the future. Please."
Cui Qingyi's entire attention was on her thighs at the moment. She had never been hugged on the thighs by anyone in all her years. She felt as if countless ants were crawling all over her body, causing her indescribable discomfort.
But she couldn't break free. Konjac was also frightened by this sudden scene. Seeing Cui Qingyi's ugly face, he hurriedly reached out to pull the woman.
Unexpectedly, the woman who seemed not as strong as the others was surprisingly strong. Konjac used all his strength but still couldn't pull her away.
Now not only Cui Qingyi had an ugly expression, but He Yaren's face was also filled with gloom.
He gritted his teeth and threatened, "If you don't behave yourself, you won't be able to stay even if the master insists on having you."
He Yaren's words were worth many words from Cui Qingyi and Konjac.
The woman fell to the ground, but she still looked up at Cui Qingyi with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of pity and pleading.
If someone prayed for her wholeheartedly, a soft-hearted girl would probably be moved, but is Cui Qingyi that kind of girl?
She did not think that the woman was pitiful and loyal, she only saw a servant who was good at judging the situation and was suspected of bullying her master.
It was the first time that He Yaren saw Cui Qingyi's cold face. He couldn't help but feel annoyed that he had made a mistake and brought such a restless person in front of Cui Qingyi.
After recovering from the physical discomfort, Cui Qingyi looked at the woman who was still kowtowing in front of her and said, "You are indeed a person who values friendship and loyalty, but my house is not big and I don't need so many people.
Since it's the old sister's request, I believe you don't want to stay here alone with me. I won't force you, so just go back with He Yaren."
Go back and accompany your old sister's grandson and continue to wait for the next kind person.
Except for Konjac and He Yaren, no one present expected Cui Qingyi to say such a thing. Wouldn't the normal reaction be to admire the woman's loyalty and then feel pity and buy the baby as well?
There were still tears as big as beans on the woman's face, and her exaggerated expression was frozen on her face.
He stared at Cui Qingyi's face, seemingly wondering how this person could say such cold-blooded and heartless words with such a beautiful face.
Among the women brought by He Ya Ren, one of them was regretting that she would have to travel around with the arbitrator again, but suddenly she saw hope.
Some people are unaware of their blessings, thinking they are smart but breaking the taboos of their host family. If they don't fight for it now, when will they?
He ignored the dentist's dark face and said, "Madam, I came here from Yuzhou. My original master sold his servants because they fell into poverty. I can also cook. Can you keep me?"
The originally serious atmosphere at the scene was caught off guard by the Yuzhou dialect, and Cui Qingyi's attention was completely attracted by this person.
He Ya Ren held his forehead and said helplessly: "How many times have I told you to speak Mandarin in front of the host? Mandarin! If you don't remember, you won't be allowed to eat tonight."
After scolding the woman, He Ya Ren turned to Cui Qingyi. He had to defend himself, otherwise Mrs. Cui would think that he was not doing his job well.
"Madam Cui, you know that Dongping County is a small place. The pawnbrokers who sent people from Qinghe to our place have already picked up the best ones. Even these are the tallest among the short ones. Please don't blame them."
After hearing what he said, and considering the performance of the people present, Cui Qingyi also felt that the requests she had made before seemed a bit unreasonable.
She pointed at the woman who spoke Yuzhou dialect and asked, "Why was she left behind?"
Mentioning this He Ya Ren makes people upset: "You have heard that she can't change her Yuzhou dialect. The people in the dental industry along the way have been trying to teach her to speak Mandarin. She was learning well at first, but she fell behind at the critical moment.
But Madam Cui, don't be fooled by this woman's accent, she's a skilled worker, otherwise I wouldn't have brought her here."
Cui Qingyi never expected that it was because of the accent. How to say it, she felt a little sad when looking at this person.
It seems that Yuzhou has been a major wheat-growing province since ancient times.
"Does Yuzhou produce rice or wheat? Do you usually eat more noodles or rice?"
The woman immediately answered a completely unrelated question: "We grow wheat there, and we usually eat noodles. Only the masters and ladies often eat rice.
My dear, do you like noodles? The master and his wife at home have tasted the noodles I make, and I can still work."
The woman was eager to show her worth to Cui Qingyi, and her eyes showed a desire not to wander anymore.
In the end, Cui Qingyi kept the person. The woman's surname was Chen, so Cui Qingyi called her Chen Ma.
As for the woman who wanted to play some tricks on Cui Qingyi because she looked young and kind, she could only follow He Ya Ren back to the brokerage shop trembling with fear. Cui Qingyi didn't know what was waiting for her next, and she didn't care.
As for the old sister's grandson that the woman mentioned, Cui Qingyi also felt that it was probably a lot of exaggeration.
Aunt Chen was indeed very capable. She knew clearly what her future job was after Konjac showed her around the house. She was not surprised that someone came to her house to deliver roast duck to her big dog.
Cui Qingyi observed her carefully for a while and felt that Chen Ma was good. She had strong hands, lively eyes and was not talkative. As for the accent, Cui Qingyi did not insist on asking her to change it. After all, she was an authentic northerner in her previous life, and her "I I I" sounded quite familiar to her.
That night, everyone in the Cui family, including the dog and Qiao's mother, tasted Chen Ma's noodle making skills, and they were indeed as delicious as she said.
Chen Ma's cooking skills combined with Cui Qingyi's homemade soy sauce and chili peppers make this bowl of noodles taste so close to the highest level of Northwestern noodles.
With a bowl of noodles, Chen Ma successfully integrated into the Cui family's residence, and gradually discovered that the owner of this house was actually very easy to talk to and easy to serve.
But don’t be fooled by his young age. He actually runs a teahouse business. What’s even more surprising is that he also opened a girls’ school.
Chen Ma had lived for so many years and had never even seen a college where men went to study, let alone heard of a girls' school. Her admiration for Cui Qingyi was almost overflowing.
