The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 863 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 34

Hearing his brother say this, Su Shangwen breathed a sigh of relief and let him go.

Su Shangxu pulled the collar of his clothes and said, "Since you can't bear to let her go, why didn't you just say so earlier? I won't touch her, it's not a big deal!"

After saying that, he left. After thinking about it, Su Shangwen still felt it was not safe.

Su Shangxu is saying everything well now, but what if a few years later he exchanges souls with me again and uses my body to do those things?

No matter what, if he could save one person, he would save one. He would go back to his own yard now, find someone for Ruolan, and let her leave the Su family and stay away from her.

After the two brothers walked away, Su Xiangran and Qiu Xing appeared.

The two looked at each other, said nothing, and left immediately.

In the evening, Su's father came back with Qiu Xing's indenture contract.

"Here! Here you go. I really don't know why you bought a little girl!" Su Wang still didn't understand. "You should find someone who can work. Isn't a maid the same? What kind of work can this little girl do!"

Su Xiangran took a look at the midnight snack in her father's hand, and suddenly smiled a little "weirdly", then put away her smile and began to "talk nonsense" seriously: "Dad, I'll tell you a story, and you'll know the reason.

There is a kind of tea tree in Guangcheng whose top leaves are the best. Every year during the tea-producing season, tea farmers will hire girls between the ages of ten and thirteen to go up the mountain to collect the top leaves of the tea trees.

After being picked, the young leaves will be wrapped in a special gauze and placed on the chest of the tea-picking girl for twelve hours. It is said that this will allow the water to dissipate better.

The subsequent processes are also done by girls as young as 16 years old. The tea is also known as "daughter tea" and can be sold at a sky-high price!

Coincidentally, there is a restaurant in Guangcheng called Mapo Restaurant, whose signature dish is hand-shredded chicken. The owner is the one who cooks the food, but it is Mapo who shreds the chicken.

Mapo is over 60 years old and most of her teeth have fallen out. She also doesn’t like to cut her nails. Once, a customer saw this and the store’s business has been in a slump ever since. But that’s not all!

The tea shop next to this store also had a bad business later on. "

After listening to his daughter, Su Wang looked at the chicken soup and chicken in the bowl and instantly lost his appetite: "Okay, okay, okay, you are right no matter what you say! You know how to do business!"

Li Niang listened to the whole story and tapped Su Xiangran's head with her finger, saying, "You naughty boy! You just told a story, but you had to tease your father. It's a pity that he couldn't eat my bowl of chicken soup."

"Forget it, if he doesn't want to drink, I'll drink it myself." After saying that, Li Niang picked up the bowl and started eating.

Su Xiangran smiled without saying anything. After taking Qiu Xing back to her room, she handed the indenture contract to her: "Here, you are free! By the way, should I still call you Qiu Xing? Or do you have any other name?"

"Thank you. Just call me Qiu Xing!" Qiu Xing said, "I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

From then on, Qiu Xing lived in Su Xiangran's house. In name, they were master and servant, but in fact, it was an employment relationship.

Su Xiangran provided her with food and lodging, and gave her 40% of her salary for her to use as she pleased, with the remaining money used to "repay debts."

At this time, there are less than ten years left before Qiu Xing decides to return to the modern era.

Su Xiangran felt that she was basically close to completion.

After all, Qiu Xing and the young masters of the Su family will never have any chance to meet again in the future.

On the other side, after Su Shangwen returned to the yard, he also asked Ruolan indirectly about her opinion of her elder brother Su Shangxu.

Although Ruolan didn't say anything due to her status, it can be seen that she doesn't have a good impression of her eldest brother.

Under normal circumstances, such a personal maid would either follow Su Shangwen in the future or be married off after she turns 18.

Ruolan is a family-born child, and since Su Shangwen has no intention of adopting her, her family has already started to want to see her.

Su Shangwen is also a man of action. He went straight to find his mother the next day.

"Mom, Ruolan is about to turn sixteen, and I want you to find her a husband." When Su Shangwen said this, his elder brother Su Shangxu happened to be there too.

This time he is at a loss. How come he was interested in her yesterday, but wants to marry her off today?

However, Su Shangxu just drank a sip of tea and said nothing. After all, Ruolan was his brother's personal maid, and no matter how "greedy" he was, he couldn't show it in public.

"Isn't she just sixteen?" Madam Su frowned slightly and said, "The custom in the mansion is that people can only leave the mansion when they are eighteen!"

"She has taken good care of me over the years. I know her family has already found someone else for her." Su Shangwen explained, "And doesn't mother want to arrange a marriage for me? I don't want my future fiancée to know that I have a maid who has served me for such a long time."

"Shame on you!" Mrs. Su scolded with a smile, "You haven't even started dating yet, and no girl has said she's willing to marry you! And you're already thinking about trying to please them. Really..."

"Second brother, you are too nervous. It's just a maid!" Su Shangxu suddenly spoke at this time.
