Chapter 129 129: I really found a treasure this time (first update)

Manager Jin couldn't help but break out in cold sweat when Chang Xi looked at him displeased. He hurriedly growled at the boy following him, "Why don't you hurry up and see what's going on?"

The boy didn't dare to delay and hurried over to see what was going on.

A group of women in the yard stretched their necks to look outside curiously, and then they began to whisper, discussing what big thing was going to happen?

The two of them looked at each other, with worries in their eyes. Could it be that Aunt Guihua, who had been following behind but was stopped by them from following in, was causing trouble?

"She's not so bold, is she?" Fang Lizheng said uncertainly.

The younger Li Lizheng, on the other hand, frowned and began to wonder in his mind. If Aunt Guihua caused trouble, how would they defend themselves so that the female boss above would not be angry? They were afraid that this good thing would go wrong.

I was just afraid that something would happen. At this moment, the young man who went out to check the situation escorted a peasant woman in. The peasant woman looked timid, but she still walked in with her back straight. She also felt uncomfortable with her hands being held behind her.

Not too much struggle.

The woman's slightly weird behavior made Chang Xi squint his eyes in interest. What is going on?

But the two women who were here with a large group of women who came for interviews opened their eyes wide. Someone immediately recognized the peasant woman and said, "Isn't this Aunt Guihua?"

Aunt Osmanthus?

Chang Xi then took another look at the peasant woman who was escorted in front of her. She looked up and down several times. She was about thirty years old, but she was not sure. After all, most of the women in the village now looked poor because of their poverty.

Much older than her actual age.

Compared with most of the women who came for the interview today, her clothes were not the best, but she was the cleanest. Even her hair could be seen to have been washed yesterday, and she was being held in a bun.

It was a little loose, but it could be seen that it had been tidied up very neatly. Then his eyes fell on her feet. A pair of very old black cloth shoes were covered with patches. However, except for some dirt and dust, the rest of the uppers were not.

It's also very clean.

"Let go of her hand first."

After hearing her order, the boy quickly glanced at Manager Jin, but Manager Jin glared at him. Didn't this slut hear Mrs. Chang's order?

Although Jie Jiuye did not stay in Chang's house these two nights and seemed not to care, in fact he knew that everyone around Jie Jiuye was watching Chang's every move. If this is not caring, then what does it mean to care?

?

Regardless of whether the woman is a betrothed wife or not, as long as the master cares about her, then this woman is valuable and worthy of his fawning. If he can return to the house to serve her through her, it will be better than staying in another courtyard.

The boy quickly let go of the woman's hand.

Only then did Chang Xi see her hands. The nails were cut very short and were in the shape of a semicircle. Although the color was not ruddy, they were still clean hands. People in this era who don't have enough to eat naturally don't have much healthy skin color. This is

Things that are common sense.

Through these small details, she discovered that this woman still met the conditions she had put forward before, but why was she not among the candidates recommended by Liang Li?

This is quite strange to her.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Aunt Guihua didn't dare to look directly at Chang Xi. The intrusion was enough to embarrass her, but when she thought of the two hungry children at home, she had to muster the courage to look up at Chang Xi quickly.

Xi, then lowered his head and said, "People in the village call me Aunt Osmanthus. I heard that we are hiring a cook here. I...I am here to sign up. I am very good at cooking and I will definitely not be lazy. If you don't believe me, I can

I swear..." After saying this, I couldn't help but become anxious, and I dared to look up at Chang Xi, expressing to her that she desperately needed this job.

Chang Xi knew at a glance that this woman named Aunt Guihua was forced into a desperate situation, and she was obviously isolated by other people in the village, so she mustered up the courage to find a way out for herself.

Fang Lizheng said hurriedly, "Auntie Osmanthus cannot be invited. She is an unlucky person. Whoever gets close to her will be unlucky. So it's not that we don't sign her up, but that she is an unlucky person."

"That's right, she is..."

Then a lot of women also talked about how bad luck would come if they were close to Aunt Guihua. Some of them were so outrageous that Chang Xi wanted to laugh. Is this just trying to incriminate her?

What's wrong with destiny? She never believed in the fallacies of destiny. Compared with these, the human heart is more sinister.

Of course, it didn't matter that she didn't think so. What mattered was what the person involved thought. So when a group of women were talking about the same thing, she raised her hand to signal them to stop, and looked directly at Aunt Guihua, who kept her head down and said nothing, "

Do you also think that you are an unlucky person?"

If Aunt Guihua also thinks that she is an unlucky person, then she will not give her a chance. What she needs is people who can create value, not charity.

When she has no money and no connections, how can she be qualified to do charity? If she is poor, she can only benefit herself; if she is rich, she can help the world. This is the norm.

Aunt Guihua clenched her fists. She thought of her two husbands. One was bitten to death by a wild beast while hunting in the mountains, and the other accidentally fell into the sea and drowned while carrying a large bag in the city. These were all accidents. Can she be blamed?

?

However, everyone blamed her and said it was her bad luck that killed them. Her two husband-in-laws did not allow her to enter the house, and they did not even recognize her grandson.

Both husbands left and each left a child. What can she do?

She doesn't eat or drink, but her children need to eat and drink, so if she doesn't resist fate and fight for herself, then she can only starve to death with her two children.

So, she bravely looked up at Chang Xi, "No, I don't believe in this fate."

"Aunt Osmanthus, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Lizheng shouted. Does this stupid woman want to be enemies with the whole village? She said it as if the villagers were persecuting her. Huh, she doesn't care about who she is.

goods?

Looking up at Chang Xi, he said, "This sweet-scented osmanthus has lost her temper and gone crazy. Let's take her back now so that she won't delay things..."

When Aunt Guihua heard this, she had a look of fear on her face. She had no way out. She might not even be able to save her thatched hut and would be kicked out of the village, so she could only advance but not retreat. So she knelt down and kowtowed to Chang Xi, "This

You are a noble man, I will definitely work hard..."

Li Lizheng didn't give her a chance to speak, and gave Fang Lizheng a look. The two grown men stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Guihua like a chicken, trying to drag her out.

Aunt Guihua struggled desperately, looking at Chang Xi with pleading eyes.

"Wait a minute!"

Just when she was about to despair, she finally heard Chang Xi's voice. At this time, her face was filled with tears. She felt that this voice was really the best voice in the world.

Li Lizheng wanted to drag Aunt Guihua away regardless, but was blocked by Manager Jin. Seeing Manager Jin looking at him with a half-smile, he had to loosen his grip on Aunt Guihua's arm.

Fang Lizheng had no choice but to let go.

Chang Xi saw Aunt Guihua getting up in a hurry and trotting up to her, planning to kneel down again. She quickly stretched out her hand to stop her, "There's no need to kneel down anymore. Let's do this. I'll give you an errand. You can finish it."

I’ll let you stay.”

"What's the matter? Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"Just call me Madam Chang." Chang Xi said softly, pointing to the group of women waiting to apply for jobs below, "Your duty is to select ten suitable cooks, go ahead."

She wanted to see how capable and kind-hearted the woman in front of her was, which related to how she planned to use her.

Aunt Guihua did not expect that Chang Xi would give her such a task. She turned her head and looked at the group of women below who usually disliked her. Their expressions changed. She felt indescribably relieved, but also felt a faint sadness.

A group of women also looked at Aunt Guihua closely, their palms sweating. They wanted to put their fate in her hands at this moment. Will Aunt Guihua avenge injustice or revenge? Especially

These are the women who usually make fun of Aunt Guihua the most. Now their faces are full of frustration. It seems that there is no chance this time.

Xiao Tao, who was watching from the side, sympathized with Aunt Guihua's experience. She moved her lips and wanted to remind Aunt Guihua of the selection criteria that Mrs. Chang had set before. Unexpectedly, she saw Chang Xi secretly shaking his head towards her.

This was a signal to her to keep quiet.

She would not disobey Mrs. Chang's order, so she could only stand aside and watch. No matter how much she sympathized with the other party, she could not betray her master.

Aunt Guihua bent down towards Chang Xi and gathered up the courage to walk towards the women who usually stood proud in front of her. Now she gradually put away her nervousness. She had already come this far. She must take this opportunity.

catch.

No one gave her a hint, and she didn't know what criteria Chang Xi needed to select a cook, but she thought that cooking was inseparable from the word clean. As long as she chose someone based on these two words, there should be nothing wrong. As for hatred,

No grudge, she can't care about it now.

Chang Xi just watched Aunt Guihua's actions quietly. Of course, some people took the opportunity to have a relationship with Aunt Guihua and wanted her to choose her. However, Aunt Guihua turned a blind eye and walked to the next one, making this person's idea instantly come to nothing.

And she took another look at the woman Aunt Guihua passed by. This woman's face was not clean, no wonder Aunt Guihua didn't take another look at her.

Seeing this, she chuckled. This time she really found a treasure. This Aunt Guihua has a good understanding. In a short time, she knew what her requirements were for selecting people. As a rural woman who can't read a word, she

, this can be said to be a talent.

Next, Aunt Guihua did something that shocked everyone. She actually picked out the woman who had spoken the harshest words about her. Even the woman herself was surprised, and in the end she could only

Come out to the other side with eyes full of complexity.

I thought that I was definitely going to be eliminated, but Aunt Guihua chose me regardless of past suspicions. This woman was silent for a rare moment, reflecting for the first time on whether she had gone too far in the past.

Chang Xi really raised her eyebrows this time. Aunt Guihua not only had good understanding, but also had a very good character. But then she figured out what smart people do. What she needs most now is this job.

So all grudges and grudges have to be put aside for the time being.

Most people may not be able to answer this multiple-choice question.

If Aunt Guihua can read and write like Xiaotao, will Aunt Guihua bring her a bigger surprise?
