It was especially so for the young girl.
Ever since her parents passed away, everyone around her treated her with malice.
They kept telling her that she had killed her parents and that she was a bringer of misfortune.
But at that moment, someone finally stood up for her and rebuked those people. She was not the cause of her parents’ death.
She promised herself that she would definitely work hard in the future. She would not let her owner regret purchasing her.
“Just these three,” said Zhao Chuchu. She did not know what the young girl was thinking about. With a wave of her hand, she bought them all.
She didn’t even bargain with the broker. This made the latter really happy. He then quickly brought the slave contracts over.
After Zhao Chuchu paid for them, he handed her the contracts.
She also gave the broker some money and said, “Please help me settle matters on the government side.”
“Alright. Mrs. Xie. Don’t worry. I will settle them soon. If we have any new servants, I will inform you immediately.”
“Hmm, sorry to trouble you,” said Zhao Chuchu as she nodded her head.
She then turned to the three of them and said, “Follow me.”
The two men were called Zhang Changfu and Lu Zhiming. The young maiden did not have a name. Everyone called her San Niu.
Only after Zhao Chuchu left did the rest of the servants know that she was the famous Doctor Miracle.
They regretted their actions so much.
If they had not offended her and hadn’t been redeemed by her instead, their lives would be much better.
If they followed Zhao Chuchu and learned some medical skills from her, they could feed themselves for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, they had missed the opportunity to do so. There was no use regretting it.
They begged the broker to choose and send a few of them to Zhao Chuchu again. They promised that they would never speak so rudely again.
The broker laughed coldly and said, “Even the likes of you wish to become servants of the Xie clan? Stop dreaming. Don’t make me become an eyesore for Mrs. Xie. If anyone is willing to buy you, you should be grateful. You don’t have the right to choose.”
He continued, “Let me make it clear to all of you. If no one buys you in another half a month, I will have no choice but to send you to the mines. After all, the broker house will not let you eat and stay for free. That would be throwing money away. If you do not wish to go to the mines, wise up next time!”
They immediately shut up.
The mines were not a place for ordinary folks like them. Those who were sent there were criminals serving their sentences. If they went there, wouldn’t they be bullied to death? Even though they would become servants if they sold themselves, at least they would not need to work day and night in the mines or be beaten up when they were careless!
The broker snorted coldly. He then turned and left. He still had to make a trip to the government offices and prepare the documentation for the three people Zhao Chuchu had bought.
All servants who were registered with the government would be reported and recaptured once they ran away. Things would not end well for slaves who escaped!
Zhao Chuchu was not worried that these three people would run away.
When she picked her servants, she made sure to choose honest men with good attitudes.
She would never accept people like those in the broker house who enjoyed bullying San Niu even if they were given to her for free.
Zhao Chuchu brought the three of them back to the Xie clan. She assigned
Zhang Changfu and Lu Zhiming to be under Chai Le. She told Chai Le, “Brother Le, these two men will report to you from now on. Please teach them some martial arts. When the Ruyu Center is open, they will be in charge of guarding the place at night.”
“Alright, Mrs. Xie. Do not worry. I will educate them properly.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” “No worries. I’m just doing my duty.”
Zhao Chuc.hu nodded. She then tilted her head sideways and instructed San Niu, “Follow me.”
San Niu followed behind Zhao Chuchu timidly. The former was very nervous.
Zhao Chuchu gestured for her to close the door of the medicine room. She then said, “You don’t need to be afraid. I don’t eat people.”
San Niu knelt down immediately and pledged her loyalty to Zhao Chuchu, saying, “Thank you, Mrs. Xie, for redeeming me. I will do my very best to serve you from now on.”
“Please get up. The Xie clan is not strict about rules. Just do your work honestly and I will not mistreat you.”
“I will definitely not let you down, Mrs. Xie.”
“Alright. Since you have joined the Xie clan, why don’t I give you a proper name? Is it okay for you to give up the name San Niu?”
“I will do whatever you say.”
“Hmm… You shall be called Jixiang from now on. How about that?”
“Thank you, Mrs. Xie, for giving me the name Jixiang. I like it very much.”
San Niu was now Jixiang. Jixiang’s eyes turned slightly red. Everyone said that she was a bringer of misfortune, but Mrs. Xie had given her the name Jixiang which meant good fortune. Mrs. Xie was truly a good person!
“Alright. Go and find Sister Hong. Do whatever she assigns you to do.”
“Yes, madam.”
Jixiang left the room at the speed of light. She was worried that Zhao Chuchu might be disappointed in her if she showed any signs of laziness.
Zhao Chuc.hu couldn’t help but shake her head. She would leave her be for the time being.
After Chang Hong learned about Jixiang’s background, she also took good care of the latter..
