General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 624: Raising Children to Provide for Old Age (2)

"They want to sell their daughter, but it depends on whether I am willing to buy her..." Ji Xiaowu sighed, "These families who came here are aiming for 100 taels, but they are unsure and want to make a fuss, but there is no reason to make a fuss."

"Boss, are you okay?" When Ji Xiaomu and others walked into the embroidery workshop, they were surrounded by the girls. Seeing that Ji Xiaomu was not injured, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine." Ji Xiaowu smiled at the girls. "I scared them away! I told them that if they hurt you or took it out on you, they would lose a day's wages if you got hurt."

"Boss, you are so awesome. No matter what we said yesterday, they refused to give up and insisted on coming to settle the score with you." The girl laughed when she heard what Ji Xiaomu said. Ji Xiaomu did have a trick.

"Aren't you sad?" Duan Yue asked.

"I was a little sad at first, but... we thought about it and realized that their kindness to us was too obvious and not sincere at all, so we stopped being sad." The girl replied, "I've gotten used to it over the years. I feel uncomfortable being coaxed by my family these days."

“Me too…” the other girls also said, “I was quite happy at first, thinking I finally got a valuable gift, but later… I was happy, but… it didn’t feel real.”

"It's pretty good now. When I went back yesterday, everything was still the same as before, but I felt very relaxed."

"Maybe we already knew that they couldn't be so nice to us without any courtesy..."

"I've thought it through. I don't want them to be nice to me. Once I've learned the craft and followed my boss, I'm sure I won't starve to death."

"Correct."

The girls smiled at each other and felt relieved.

They had never enjoyed the treatment before, but now that they had experienced it once, they still felt more comfortable being "ignored".

Just like what Ji Xiaomu said, as long as you have the ability, you will not be afraid of starving no matter where you go.

After the girls' families returned home, the men in the family were not upset. They just felt it was a pity that they had lost their way to make money. They even thought that Ji Xiaomu must have money but just refused to give it to them.

The women took Ji Xiaou's words to heart. Those words were like a thorn, not causing much harm, but making them very uncomfortable.

The doting son usually thinks that his son is good in every way, but when she thinks of Ji Xiaomu's words, what is the normal place of her son? The mother knows very well that her son has no ability and just follows the old man to work.

The son is filial? Seeing that the son and the old man lie down on the bed as soon as they come back, doing nothing, waiting for her to cook, while the old man is still working in the yard, turning the soil in the backyard...

Suddenly the woman remembered that when her daughter was at home, she was the one who did all these things. The two of them were like their son and only needed to lie down and rest when they got home.

Inexplicably... Ji Xiaomu's words kept repeating in the woman's mind.

After she finished cooking, her son came out. After the family finished their meal, her son threw down his chopsticks and prepared to go back to his room.

As if by some strange coincidence, the woman suddenly called out to her son, "Son, wash the dishes."

"Why? Isn't this your job?" The son refused without even thinking, looking angry, thinking that the woman actually asked him to do the job.

The old man was stunned when he heard his wife's words. When he heard his son's words, he frowned. "Go wash the dishes when your mother calls you to! Why can't your mother call you?"
