Chapter 780 Jiang's House is a Good Place

She and her sister ran out, and they really didn't take anything. Their parents' belongings were still in the room, including the jade pendant that their father forgot to wear when he left, and the bracelet that their mother always wore.

She didn't save the others.

My aunt-in-law said that when a person dies, all the things they used during their lifetime should be thrown away or sold, otherwise it would be unlucky.

She kept these two things hidden in her room.

"Sister, look, it's actually refined rice and meat. Wow, why is the food so good? Can we really eat it?"

While Liu Chengyue was thinking about her own things, Liu Chengxing was looking at the table full of dishes and was already drooling.

Ever since their grandmother passed away, they couldn't even eat refined rice, let alone meat.

What he eats on weekdays is similar to that of the servants in the mansion.

The Liu family doesn't lack this little money at all.

After their parents passed away, the shop was taken over by their uncle, who earned hundreds of taels of silver every year.

However, their aunt, Liu Zhang, insisted on torturing them.

So they haven't eaten meat for a long time.

Liu Chengxing didn't dare to pick up his chopsticks, and even didn't dare to eat the rice in the bowl.

He was afraid of eating his master's food and being scolded.

Although she spoke very softly, there was no way Rong'er couldn't hear her in the house.

She smiled gently and replied, "Eat with peace of mind. When you come to the Jiang family in the future, you will know how good the treatment here is. To put it bluntly, the servants in our house live better than many decent families in the town. They don't have to worry about food and drink, and they don't have enough clothes to wear.

Just like the clothes I made last year, one of which I have never worn, this year the government made me another set, all made of good fabrics. Here, this plate of meat is in front of you. It is a little fatty, and we don’t like it. It’s okay for you to finish it. When you get tired of it, you will like to eat lean meat in the future.”

Rong'er brought the plate of fatty braised pork belly to Liu Chengxing.

She even touched her head like an older sister.

Liu Chengxing was a little scared at first, but seeing how gentle she was, he boldly picked up his chopsticks and started eating in small bites.

The Jiang family’s dishes are not only good, but also taste great.

Liu Chengxing ate faster and faster, with greasy spots on both corners of his mouth.

"Hurry up and eat. Take whatever you want from the dishes on the table. I'll have someone take you back after you finish. Grab your food and leave. As for the indenture, take it with you and let your uncle and the others take a look at it so they know what's going on."

Seeing that Liu Chengyue was still in a daze, Rong'er urged her to eat quickly.

"Sister Rong'er, this... doesn't require me to go to the government to get permission?" Liu Chengyue looked at the indenture in her hand, still feeling a little uneasy.

What if my uncle doesn't acknowledge it? Her household registration is still in the Liu family.

By then, her uncle and aunt will be able to deal with her and her sister as they please.

"No need. The prefect and the county magistrate are my young lady's godfather and godbrother. For such a matter, you can just pick a day and mention it in passing. However, once the matter is announced, you will be slaves, even though we are the maids of the Jiang family.

Your life is better than that of ordinary people, but you are still slaves and are looked down upon by the world. Have you really thought it through? I see that you are not badly dressed, so you must have been ladies in the family, served by servants. Can you really bear the cold stares of others? Go and serve the master?"

Rong'er asked again.

"Yes! If being a lady is worse than being a maid, then I would rather be a maid. Sister Rong'er, I have really thought it through. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought my sister all the way here. What's more, my sister and I have already signed a promise and I can't regret it. Don't worry, I have thought it through."

Liu Chengyue nodded heavily, hid the indenture inside her clothes, and then started to eat.

She hadn’t tasted meat for a long time, and it was so delicious that she almost cried.

The sisters' wrists were not skinny, but they were very thin.

You can tell at first glance that he has a malnourished constitution.

Liu Chengyue put down her bowl and chopsticks when she was 70% full. In fact, she could have had another half bowl of rice, but since she had just arrived at the Jiang family, she decided to eat less.

As for her younger sister, she also kept her under control and did not allow her to have any more children.

How could Rong'er not guess it?

He simply took the rice bowl and scooped a large spoonful for each of them.

"Don't worry about eating. I've said before that there is enough food in the mansion. It's okay even if you eat a bowl. Really, the master won't dislike you just because you eat too much. It's more pleasing to eat fat. Look carefully, which of us maids looks weak and frail?"

Rong'er raised his chin towards them, motioning them to look at the table opposite.

Indeed, the maids sitting opposite were all plump, the same body shape as the men outside.

And they are all very tall, unlike the two sisters who are like dwarf radishes.

Thinking back to when I was queuing, all the way from the front yard to the back yard, I didn’t see a single thin maid.

No wonder people say that being a lady is worse than being a maid in the Jiang family. It is indeed so.

The news she had heard turned out to be true.

It seems she came to the right place.

"Okay." She responded quietly and continued eating with her sister.

After finishing the second bowl of rice, the two sisters burped because they were full.

After resting for a while, the two got on the carriage and prepared to go home.

Jiang Fubao happened to go out at this time and they bumped into each other.

Jiang Fubao asked the groom, "Where are you going?"

"To reply to the young lady, Sister Rong'er said that she wanted me to take two young maids who had just entered the mansion back home. The journey is long, and they have to return on the same day, so I sent them in a carriage."

The groom was not afraid when Jiang Fubao asked him questions.

The masters of the Jiang family are all kind. They never treat their servants harshly, let alone beat or scold them.

Liu Chengyue, who was sitting inside, was so scared that she hurriedly came out holding her sister's hand and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Jiang Fubao.

"Don't kneel outside, be careful not to dirty your clothes. Since you have to go back, hurry up, otherwise it will be dangerous to rush on the road at night. Be careful on the road."

"Yes, miss." The groom and the two sisters replied together.

Jiang Fubao left after he finished speaking.

There was still work to do in the clinic, and since she had bought a maid, she didn't have to stay at home.

"Come in and sit down quickly. Our young lady is very kind. Don't be afraid. She won't scold you. Sit down and I'll whip you and set off." The coachman urged them when he saw them standing there in a daze.

"Brother, why aren't you afraid of the master at all?"

Liu Chengyue asked curiously.

"Why should we be afraid? The masters are not monsters. As long as we don't betray them and do our job well, why would they scold us? You don't understand when you just arrived, but you will understand after you stay for a while. Otherwise, why do you think so many people want to send their children to our house to be servants? Everyone knows that once they become slaves, they become servants. Why do they flock to them?"

He was just a groom, but he spoke like a scholar. Even Liu Chengyue, who had studied for several years, was stunned.
