"Guest officer, this woman's surname is Shen. After she married into her husband's family, her husband was a gambler and died soon after. She stayed in her husband's family to take care of her parents-in-law until they passed away. Because she had no children, her family would not accept her. She and her husband's family also kicked her out. So now she just needs to find a family who can give her a meal. The money for selling her body is not much, only eight taels. She has been taking care of her parents-in-law at home, so I can still cook and work quickly, so I’m definitely a good helper.”
After hearing this, Shi's father looked at Mrs. Shen up and down, but did not respond to Mrs. Ya's words.
Seeing Shi's father's appearance, Ya Po felt a chill in her heart.
Could Mrs. Shen have smashed it into her own hands?
What Ya Po said about Mrs. Shen's life experience was absolutely correct, but she hid a little bit.
That is, although Mrs. Shen is good at cooking and quick at work, she has one biggest shortcoming, which is that she can eat.
After staying with her for several months, I ate three times as much food as I did every day.
When I thought about Mrs. Shen, if she couldn't be sold, how long would I have to keep her?
If she eats like this, no matter how much money she earns, she will still be destitute.
But if she wants to sell the person for a good price, she can't make the person hungry and emaciated. In that case, she won't be able to sell the person even more.
The most important thing is that her heart is not cruel enough.
In addition, during the time that Mrs. Shen stayed at her house, she was really diligent and worked really quickly.
But I can’t bear to have so much food at home, so let her make it!
Yapo's heart was spinning with Shi's father's eyes, and it was up and down.
Just when Shi's father turned his head, Ya Po blurted out: "Fifty taels, guest sir, I only charge you five taels of silver for Mrs. Shen."
Shi's father, who originally wanted to make a decision about buying it, suddenly choked up and looked at Ya Po in silence.
However, the look on her face that she thought there was something wrong with Mrs. Shen made Granny Ya feel guilty after seeing her.
Ya Po gritted her teeth, stretched out her little finger, gestured and said: "Sir, you can rest assured that there will definitely be no problems with the servants sold from me. There is no other big problem with Mrs. Shen. That means I can eat a little bit."
Shi's father originally thought there was some other problem, but when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment. If Mrs. Shen was willing to pay three taels of silver to her, how far could she go?
"Is there anyone else? I'll take a look!"
Shi's father didn't reject it outright, he just thought about it and took a look.
When Ya Po heard what Shi's father said, she knew that the matter was very high-hanging fruit. She sighed secretly and called the other women to come out and show Shi's father.
When Shi's father looked over at the next few women, he frowned slightly, or they didn't look very honest. After all, when he looked over, his eyes were still rolling.
And when he was looking at the other person, the other person was also looking at him. When he saw the clothes Shi's father was wearing, he curled his lips secretly, which made Shi's father couldn't help but frown.
It seems that these women must have done something wrong and were kicked out of the house.
And at first glance, it was clear that this nanny did not teach them how to be honest servants.
Of the remaining two, one is too young and looks a bit frivolous.
The other one looked honest, but the dirt in the gaps between his nails made Shi's father feel a little disgusted when he saw it.
After looking around, Mrs. Shen turned out to be the best.
At least her hair was combed meticulously, her appearance was docile, and the gaps between her fingernails were clean.
Forget it, just eat something if you can!
When she heard that Shi's father bought Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Ya was relieved.
Her smile became more sincere. After she accepted the money, she went to the Yamen to complete Mrs. Shen's deed of prostitution and handed it to Shi's father.
Mrs. Shen honestly followed Shi's father back to the village. When she met Shi's mother and Shi Jiang, she also called Madam and Miss, and then quickly took over the work at home and started doing it.
Seeing that Mrs. Shen was so discerning, Shi's father was relieved of his worries.
Unfortunately, he relaxed too early.
After dinner in the evening, Mrs. Shen made three dishes, one soup and one pot of rice. The three members of the Shi family ate a small bowl of rice and some noodles. I originally thought that there were too many leftovers and I was afraid that I would have to leave them behind. There will be leftovers for tomorrow.
Shi's mother was thinking about asking Mrs. Shen to cook less rice tomorrow, and then she witnessed the miraculous moment.
When Mrs. Shen saw that everyone had finished eating, she hid in the kitchen, took out a basin, and poured all the remaining food into the basin, along with the rice cookers at the bottom of the pot. It was chewed up and put into the stomach.
I originally wanted to tell Mrs. Shen, but when I walked over, I happened to see the large bowl of food in Mrs. Shen's hand decreasing and disappearing little by little. The jaws of the three members of the Shi family almost dropped.
Shi Jiang felt that he was simply watching a live version of a mukbang show.
It took Shi's mother a long time to close her mouth, and then gave Shi's father a fierce look.
How can their family afford to support such a delicious servant?
Shi's father also didn't expect that Mrs. Shen could eat to this extent.
Sure enough, women cannot be taken advantage of.
Originally he thought it was three taels of silver cheaper, but according to the way Mrs. Shen eats, how much food will it cost?
Mrs. Shen finished her meal in big gulps, and then when she looked up, she saw the new master's family of three staring at her in stunned silence.
Suddenly, his hands trembled in fear, and the basin fell to the ground with a clang.
Fortunately, the basin was relatively strong and the floor in the kitchen was solid, so it didn't break.
But even so, Mrs. Shen felt that she might encounter a work crisis on the first day she arrived at her new master's house.
When I think about myself being pushed back to Ya Po's side again, I'm afraid Ya Po won't be willing to support me anymore.
Mrs. Shen trembled, knelt down and said: "Master, madam, I will never dare to eat like this next time. It's just that I was so hungry during this period that I couldn't hold back my mouth, so I gave the remaining food to Eat. From now on, this slave will only eat one bowl of rice a day. I beg you, master and madam, not to drive this slave away."
While talking, Mrs. Shen kowtowed to her father and mother.
Although the ground was mud, Mrs. Shen knelt without adding any water. After a while, Mrs. Shen's forehead became black and blue.
Shi's mother, who was initially complaining about Shi's father's unreliability, couldn't help but softened her heart.
He took a step forward to stop Mrs. Shen from kowtowing any further.
"Okay, it's just some food, there's no need to look like this. However, you've been hungry for too long, and rashly overeating is probably not good for your health. It's best to do it slowly, don't If you support yourself all of a sudden, the gain outweighs the loss."
Hearing Shi Mu's soft words, Mrs. Shen's tears fell.
