Chapter 604 Do you want to make money?
However, her actions did not have any effect.
Immediately afterwards, the cries of Jinshui and Xiuli resounded throughout the yard. The sound was so miserable that it made people feel pity when they heard it.
The whip hitting the body made a clear and loud sound of breaking through the air, one after another.
The cries of both of them became quieter and quieter, and it was obvious that they were holding them back, because the louder they cried, the harder the grandmother would hit them.
If someone is beaten and covered with wounds, the Xie family will definitely not want him.
There was no time to worry about that now. Without saying anything, Nier pushed the door open and rushed in, then yelled at the top of her lungs, "Stop!"
This sudden shout startled everyone inside.
Especially the old lady who was beating Jinshui and Xiuli with a rattan stick was so frightened that she forgot to put down the rattan stick in her hand.
She looked carefully and found it was Ni'er. She couldn't help but snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be you, a little girl! You think you can stop me from teaching my grandchildren a lesson?"
"You should just go back to where you came from and stop meddling in other people's business! Otherwise, if you dare to stop me again, I'll beat you up too!"
However, Nier didn't take the old lady's threat seriously at all.
She looked directly at the old lady without fear and asked directly, "Grandma, do you want to make money?"
When the old miser heard this, his mind was instantly hooked and his eyes began to light up.
She thought to herself, "What my family needs most right now is money! But is this little girl really so kind?"
Although he still had his doubts, the old miser thought he should first hear what she was up to.
So she asked, "How do you make money?"
Nier walked slowly to the old lady and said softly, "Since this is a way to make money, we naturally can't let too many people know about it."
The old lady understood what he meant and waved her hand, signaling everyone else to leave first.
Although Jinshui and Xiuli were injured, they quickly covered their wounds, looked at Ni'er with gratitude, and then obediently retreated.
After everyone left, the old lady sat down by herself, then looked at Ni'er and said slowly: "Go ahead."
Ni'er also found a place to sit down, completely ignoring the old lady's dissatisfied expression.
"I just got the news that the Xie family wants to buy a maid." Ni'er said calmly.
"Xie family?"
When the old lady heard this, her brows slightly frowned, and she thought to herself that this surname seemed somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and asked quickly, "But is it the Xie family in the next county?"
Nier nodded and replied, "That's right."
The old lady was delighted, it seemed that her guess was correct.
She quickly asked again: "How much can they offer?"
Nier stretched out her fingers and made a "ten" gesture.
When the old lady saw this, she was overjoyed.
She had always planned to send Jinshui and Xiuli to be maids. Now that she had such an opportunity, she naturally would not let it go easily.
What's more, the Xie family is quite famous in the local area and has a strong financial background, so they can definitely afford the price.
Ten taels of silver per person, that’s twenty taels for two people in total!
That’s quite a lot of money!
Think about it, by selling these two people, not only can you make some money, but you can also get monthly salary every month. This is really a good deal!
"By the way, how much is the monthly allowance?" the old lady asked impatiently.
Ni'er had seen through the old lady's thoughts long ago. She smiled and said, "Grandma, don't think about their monthly salary! The Xie family is a serious and noble family with many rules!"
"If you always go to their house to ask for monthly wages, it will not only delay their work, but if the Xie family finds out, this maid will definitely not be able to continue her job."
"When the time comes, the twenty taels of silver you got from selling your body will have to be taken back! You definitely don't want to see this situation."
The old lady listened to Nier's words and thought about it carefully, and realized that it was true.
A family like the Xie family cannot be offended easily!
If you buy a maid for ten taels of silver, she naturally belongs to the buyer.
If they dare to send the person back and take the money, I will never agree.
The old lady said awkwardly, "I...I was just asking casually. I didn't want their monthly salary."
"I'll send them over after the New Year."
When the old lady thought of the twenty taels of silver, she felt light as if she was about to fly.
Nier thought that it would be a good idea to send it after the Chinese New Year. After all, everyone wants to have a peaceful and quiet New Year.
She rolled her eyes, and a plan came to her mind. She continued, "However, they are very strict in recruiting maids. Look at the many injuries on Jinshui and Xiuli's bodies. If the buyers saw this, what would they think?"
"Maybe it won't sell for that high a price! So, you have to be nice to Jinshui and Xiuli these days, and let them take good care of themselves and heal their injuries."
"That way, we can sell it at a good price and make more money, right?"
Although the old lady was somewhat reluctant, after hearing what Ni'er said, it seemed to make some sense, so she reluctantly replied, "I understand."
Nier's problem was finally solved satisfactorily, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground.
Jinshui and Xiuli found a good home, which made Nier feel very relieved.
Moreover, in the coming period of time, grandma will definitely not make things difficult for them like before.
For Jinshui and Xiuli, this was undoubtedly one of the few happy times they had with their grandmother.
I believe that in the near future, they will be able to live a better and happier life.
The old lady waited until Nier left the room before she laughed secretly in the room alone.
Jinshui and Xiuli saw Ni'er leaving and hurriedly chased after her, saying with gratitude on their faces: "Thank you, Ni'er. If it weren't for you, we would probably..."
Before they finished speaking, their eyes were already wet with tears welling up in their eyes.
Seeing this, Ni'er hurriedly comforted them, "Hey, don't cry, don't cry. The good days for both of you are still ahead."
Jinshui and Xiuli always listened to Ni'er. When they heard her say this, they immediately stopped crying.
Jin Shui asked suspiciously, "What does this mean?"
Nier explained, "Just now, I told Grandma that I wanted to send you to the Xie family to be maids, and she has agreed."
"The Xie family is well-known for its kindness. If you go to the Xie family, you will definitely be much better off than here."
