The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Chapter 607 7 up and 8 down

She reached out for the knocker and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened and a servant came out.

Seeing this, the old lady hurried forward and said with a smile on her face: "I heard that you need a maid here. I have two granddaughters. Do you think they are suitable?"

The servant glanced at her nonchalantly and said casually, "What kind of work can such a small person do? What we want here is a maid who can work, not a mistress."

When the old lady heard this, she quickly used her body to block the door that the servant wanted to close, and explained anxiously: "Oh, please don't say that."

"Although they are small, they can do all kinds of work! They can farm, feed pigs, cook, fetch water, and do everything!"

"Don't just judge by their appearance. Hard work is no problem for them. They can even be strong laborers!"

As she spoke, the old lady quickly grabbed Jinshui and Xiuli's hands and handed them to the servant as if showing them treasures. She then said, "Look at the calluses on these hands. Only people who do heavy work every day will have them!"

The servant took a closer look and found that the calluses on the two girls' hands were thicker than his own, obviously they had worked a lot.

He sighed twice and thought to himself: What a hard life I have been living at home.

"Okay, I'll go get back to the housekeeper."

The old lady said quickly, "Okay, thank you for making the trip. We will wait here."

After the servant left, the old lady's heart felt like it was hanging in mid-air, going up and down in anxiety.

She stood at the door, staring at the closed door, not daring to relax for a moment.

As time passed, the old lady's patience was gradually worn away.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "I've been waiting for so long, why is there still no news?"

Normally, she had never been left out like this before, so she naturally felt unhappy.

The old lady complained in her heart while looking at the two children with her back to the gate.

He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "If I can't sell it today, you two will be in trouble."

I saw the two children standing there obediently, not saying a word, and they looked very well-behaved.

But the old lady became more and more irritated. She couldn't help but mutter, "It is said that the Xie family is a kind family. Today I see..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of a door opening behind him.

The old lady was delighted and turned around quickly, only to see the servant coming out with the housekeeper.

The old lady looked carefully and saw that the housekeeper was holding a heavy purse in his hand!

Her expression changed instantly, and she said with a big smile, "Oh, you are the housekeeper, right? I heard that the Xie family is a kind family, and today I see that it is indeed the case. You see, why are you bothering to come out in person?"

The housekeeper looked at the old lady expressionlessly, then looked at the two children, and then said indifferently: "Here is twenty taels of silver. I want the person."

"From today on, these two children belong to my Xie Mansion, and will no longer have anything to do with your family."

As soon as the old lady saw the money, her eyes widened, as if everything else didn't exist.

She kept repeating, "Okay, okay, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."

She stretched out her hand with a smile on her face and took the money quickly, as if she was afraid that it would suddenly fly away.

She held the money tightly, feeling its thick touch. There was nothing more wonderful in the world than holding heavy silver in her hands.

Then he raised his hand as if to shoo away flies, and the two children tactfully came to the housekeeper.

The old lady watched the door slowly close and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly stuffed the money into her clothes for fear of being seen.

After finishing all this, the old lady glanced around cautiously like a frightened rabbit, looking just like a guilty thief.

She looked around again and again, and only after she was sure that there were no suspicious people or signs did she breathe a sigh of relief and get on the ox cart with confidence.

Sitting on the ox cart, the old lady was in a particularly happy mood, just like the clear sky, without a single cloud.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she hummed a light tune.

Along the way, the old lady felt that everything looked pleasing to the eye. The flowers were fragrant and the grass was green. She hadn’t been in such a good mood for a long time.

I've already started thinking about what to buy with the money.

Yan Zi has been feeling unusually nervous lately.

Although she looked no different from usual on the surface, she was not at peace inside.

However, she didn't dare show it in front of the children, for fear that her emotions would affect them.

These days, Yan Zi couldn't eat or sleep well.

The scene of the results kept appearing in her mind. One moment her son's face was very happy and he kept talking, and the next moment he told her dejectedly that he had failed the test.

These images alternately appeared in her mind, making her feel even heavier.

Nier noticed her mother's recent abnormality. She found that her mother ate much less than before, and she always tossed and turned when sleeping at night, as if she was worried about something.

Nier was very worried about her mother's health and thought she was sick, so she asked with concern: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

As Nier spoke, she took her mother's hand and prepared to take her pulse.

However, Yan Zi shook her head gently and rejected Ni'er's kindness.

"No need to take my pulse." Yan Zi sighed and said, "I know my body well. There's nothing serious wrong with me."

"I was just nervous about your brother's grades. Before the results came out, I felt like a deer was living in my heart, jumping up and down."

Yan Zi covered her chest with her hands and frowned as she said, "I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that your brother didn't pass the exam, which made me very worried."

"So, I don't have any appetite for food."

Ni'er quickly comforted her, "Mom, don't worry too much! Dreams are the opposite. Besides, he has many exams in the future, and he can't be unable to eat or sleep like this every time."

"Besides, you can see he isn't nervous at all. So, let's just be more open-minded about this kind of thing and don't take it too seriously!"

"What does it matter whether he passes the exam or not? Even if he doesn't make the list this time, it doesn't mean he has no future! There's nothing to worry about."

After hearing what Ni'er said, Yan Zi's worries immediately dissipated a lot.

She couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, my Ni'er has really grown up!"

"Although he is still young, his perspective on things is so thorough! He is much better than me."
