Chapter 361
Upon hearing this, Xiuhe's face paled. This young lady seems to come from a well-off family, but why doesn't she want me?
"Alright, take them away quickly, lest they offend our esteemed guests!" The broker quickly instructed his servant to lead the people away.
What if I offend the lady in front of me, and she gets angry and abandons me?
"Please forgive me, sir. That maid was ignorant. I will definitely teach her a lesson later!" the broker said with a smile.
"Smack!"
Then came the sound of the servant whipping Xiuhe.
"Don't you even know who you are? How dare you question someone important?"
The servant's angry voice rang out.
The girls Li Zhiwei had chosen shrank back in fright and quickly lowered their heads. Clearly, they had also been beaten quite a bit in this situation.
"Alright, I'll take these people. Please bring me their indentures." Li Zhiwei had no interest in watching how others disciplined people.
That woman was clearly not a docile person, and she deserved what she got.
"Alright, Miss, there are six of them. Twenty taels of silver each, that's a total of one hundred and twenty taels of silver," the broker said, deliberately quoting a high price.
"Ten taels of silver, I won't take anything more expensive," Li Zhiwei said directly, without exposing the old man's intentions.
"Oh dear, miss, this won't do! I'm a businessman too. You've bargained too much; I'll lose money." The brokerage owner hadn't expected that this seemingly naive girl was actually quite shrewd; the price she bargained was exactly what he should have set.
“Miss, these maids are all skilled. If there weren’t so many people wanting them, I could definitely sell them for a higher price,” the broker said when he saw that Li Zhiwei didn’t speak.
"Qinghua, Qingyue, let's go." Li Zhiwei said, and was about to leave.
It wasn't that she didn't have the 120 taels, but why would she pay more when she could buy something for 60 taels?
"Oh dear, Miss, please don't go. Since this is your first time here, I gritted my teeth and gave you all of them. Here are their indentures." Old Man Ya looked at Li Zhiwei with pleading eyes, afraid that she would really leave.
You see, every extra day these people stay with us means an extra day of expenses, especially that girl named Chun Ya, whose stomach is like a bottomless pit. She eats the equivalent of three or four people's meals and still complains that she's not full.
If he kept eating, Old Man Ya felt he might lose everything, even his underwear.
"Qinghua." Li Zhiwei gestured for Qinghua to pay the money.
"Miss, if you need anyone next time, come to me!" Old Man Ya called out to Li Zhiwei with a grin.
“Miss…you’ve overpaid by buying me.” Cui’er, who was behind her, thought for a moment and then said to Li Zhiwei.
After all, she had a red birthmark on her face, which even her parents considered an omen of bad luck.
But today, this young lady bought her back at the same price as everyone else. Cui'er felt uneasy and was also afraid that Li Zhiwei hadn't seen her clearly just now.
"Alright, if I think it's worth it, then it's worth it." Li Zhiwei glanced at the maid and sighed. She had naturally noticed the birthmark, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
However, the fact that this girl is now speaking to her makes her realize that she hasn't made a mistake in choosing her.
“Miss, there’s also…and me. I didn’t tell the truth just now. Although I’m strong, I eat a lot.” After saying that, Chun Ya lowered her head in embarrassment.
She was afraid that if she turned back, Li Zhiwei would discover her problem and send her back again.
