Chapter 778: Rushing to Be a Maid
This inexplicable feeling came and went quickly.
No, I can't talk about feelings.
Jiang Huanyu didn't even like him, she just thought he was suitable. Unfortunately, what she called suitability was an illusion deliberately created by Zhang Zhijian.
A person suddenly appears and happens to meet all her inner requirements.
That's definitely a fraud.
This is what she had just learned.
From then on, she was no longer careless about marriage, but rather very cautious.
"Second sister, hurry up, let's hurry up, otherwise we will miss it."
"Sister, I can't breathe. Please run slower."
"Hold on, if you don't hurry up, the spot will be gone."
The sky was hazy with mist and rain. Spring rain fell every now and then, and everywhere was wet. On the streets of Lianshan Town, people could be seen everywhere running towards the Jiang family.
At the city gate, many outsiders were queuing up, and most of them were young girls.
On the street closest to the Jiang family, the two girls held hands after entering the city, squeezed through the crowd, and ran while talking.
They finally arrived at Jiang's house a quarter of an hour later, but unfortunately, there were too many people queuing, and even though they ran so fast, they were only at the end of the line.
There are at least a hundred people in front.
Some were brought by their family elders, while others came with seven or eight people from the dental clinic for the Jiang family to choose from.
There are also people dressed like beggars, hoping to try their luck.
"Sister, can we really be chosen? There are so many people... Otherwise, let's go back. I'm scared and I don't want to be a maid." The younger of the two sisters said with an innocent face.
The maids in the family were often beaten and scolded by her aunt, and she saw it all, so she was very resistant to the idea of being a maid.
"It's been less than a year since grandma passed away, and my aunt wants to send us to be concubines. It would be fine if she sent me, but how old are you, and they are already thinking about you? It's really vicious! My uncle also turned a blind eye and didn't care about us at all. Go back? Will we still have a way to survive if we go back? What's there to be afraid of being a maid? I've asked around.
In the whole Qixi County, the Jiang family is the best treated. I won't tell you in detail. Anyway, you can listen to me. Big sister won't harm you. Humph, this couple is the same kind of people. They sleep in the same bed. Do you think they have two hearts? No, they have been the same kind of people for a long time!
Maybe what the aunt said was what the uncle meant. Isn't it bullying us because we don't have parents? Humph, what is a concubine? Don't you know? It's just a toy. If you want to give it to someone, just give it away. Rather than letting everyone taste it, I would rather be a slave! At least I'm not a toy, I'm still a person!"
Another older girl standing next to the young girl said with her eyebrows raised.
There was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
He looks a bit fierce, but his facial features are very good and his eyes are very clear.
"Xing'er, your parents passed away early, and I raised you since you were a child. When grandma was still alive, we two sisters could barely get enough to eat. Now that grandma is gone, there's no way to make a living. Don't worry, even if your elder sister isn't chosen, she will ask for you to be chosen." Liu Chengyue grabbed her sister's arm and switched places with her.
If she stood in front, she would be selected first. If her younger sister was not selected and she was, she would give the spot to her younger sister. If her younger sister was selected and she was not, she would wait until her younger sister entered the Jiang family, then she would find a willow tree and hang herself to find her parents.
Liu Chengyue would rather die than be a concubine.
Among the two sisters, one must be able to live a good life, and she would rather that person be her younger sister.
Liu Chengyue did not tell her younger sister what she was thinking.
Liu Chengxing looked confused. She didn't understand why her elder sister insisted on being a maid.
But her elder sister is the best person to her, so since her elder sister said so, she will just listen to her.
She nodded obediently and said, "Okay, big sister, I'll listen to you, but I want to go to the Jiang family with you. If you don't go, I won't go either."
Liu Chengxing didn't want to leave her sister.
She grasped her sister's sleeve with her right hand and refused to let go.
"Well, sister won't leave you. Let's go. Another group is going in. We need to catch up quickly to avoid being cut in line. By the time the ten people are selected, the Jiang family won't look at the ones behind them." Liu Chengyue coaxed her sister with lies and then pushed her forward.
"Twelfth batch, ten people in a team, start with you, one, two, three, four... ninety, okay, stop, there are enough people, the next batch will come in."
The maid who was in charge of bringing people in was counting the number of people.
When there were ten people, the door was blocked again.
Someone waited for a long time and came forward to ask.
"Excuse me, sister, how many people have been selected out of the ten? Is it our turn yet?" The person asking the question was a woman, who obviously looked at least one generation older than the maid, but she still called her sister with a flattering smile on her face.
The maidservant did not take it lightly, and replied in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, only five people will be selected, and those who are selected will stay for an hour, so if you see these people coming out, they are not selected."
Worried that she would ask again later, the maid simply told her the rules and let her count by herself.
Then he led the team in.
Liu Chengyue who was standing behind listened carefully and kept it in mind.
Later, every time a group of people came out, she would count them silently in her heart.
"Oh no, how come there are only eight people? Are we going to pick two right away?"
Seeing that only eight people came out of the fifteenth batch, Liu Chengyue panicked.
Now there is only one spot left, and they have to wait until the 17th batch to enter. What should they do?
She could only clasp her hands together and pray silently, hoping that no one would be selected in the sixteenth batch and her sister would take the last spot.
Perhaps wishing worked, as no one from the sixteenth batch was selected.
Liu Chengyue was so happy that his back was sweating.
"You, go in." The maid's voice rang out, and the two sisters went in one after another. Behind them, the line was still as long as before. As one group of people went in, another group came out.
Not only in Lianshan Town, but also everywhere, people heard that the Jiang family wanted to buy a maid today.
So people came from all over the east, south, west, and north.
The ten people were brought by maids to the main hall at the entrance of the courtyard.
The person sitting in the main seat was not Zhang Jinlan, but Jiang Fubao. She was the only one free today. Grandma and her good friends went to worship Buddha, accompanied by her aunt, and grandpa went back to Jiangjia Village.
My second aunt and mother were busy in the snack shop.
My brothers and sisters also have their own things to do.
Jiang Fubao has been sitting here since dawn, after he finished his breakfast, and it is almost noon.
She was going to go eat after she selected the last person.
"Stand in a line and tell your name, age, family situation, where you're from..." the maid who led them in shouted loudly.
The first one standing was a very young girl, who looked no more than seven years old.
She spoke timidly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.
