Chapter 87

Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit surprised.Nodded, she said, “Good, Yesu, you passed. I hope you can keep your words. Ourbenefits here won’t be worse than being a maid anywhere else. I just want tolay out the uglies from the get go. You must follow orders here. I don’t wantany unpleasant situations in the future, understood?”

“Yes, miss, Yesu understood!” Liu Yesuwalked over and stood by her side.

“Miss, I am willing too!”

“Miss, me too!”

“Miss, I won’t leave!”

“Miss, my parents had long since agreedto these conditions!”

“…..”

A few other girls also agreed to it andlooked at Cheng Xiao Xiao with reserve. From the way they look, one could tellthey meant what they’ve said.

Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded at them, agreeingto accept them into the Cheng’s. The remaining five girls felt uneasy and didnot voice their decisions.

Seeing Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at them,they started getting nervous. One of them said softly, “Miss, can I… can I askmy parents first?”

“Sure, go back, ask them, and come backtomorrow. If your parents decline, then no need to come back!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled at them, “Don’tworry, just go home now!”

“Yes, miss!”

The young girls dare not stay anylonger. They turned around and left the courtyard.

The ones who departed were all aroundseven or eight years old. They were still young and couldn’t make decisions ontheir own, so Cheng Xiao Xiao wouldn’t hold that against them.

The ones that were left were betweennine to twelve years old. Not too old, but not that young either. After all,people in this dimension mature earlier and start helping out with thehousehold much younger.

Scanning over everyone, Cheng Xiao Xiao calledthem out by their names, “Yesu, Yecao, you two are under my wings from now on.The rest of you can go talk to my mom, she will make the arrangements,understood?”\n“Yes, miss!”

After telling them what to do, ChengXiao Xiao walked outside of her house taking her two new maids with her. Thetwo of them were cousins, not only do they have nice names, they are also bothdecent looking!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao, who had been quite busylately, seemed to be getting happier.

“You mistress, we just got a letter. Itlooks like it’s addressed to master and you!”

Note:

1.      Means “old little brother”. “Old” because he was old in age. “Di” is younger brother, old Du still referred to him as younger brother because he was older Du was older than Ning. I chose to go with Chinese pronunciation here as “old younger brother” just sounds very awkward in English.

2.       

3.      literally translates as “Rivers and Lakes”, but figuratively refers to the “underground world of martial arts”. A section of society consisting of martial artists, gangsters, thieves, beggars, prostitutes, merchants, entertainers, and anyone else wanting to operate outside of mainstream society or in the grey area of the law.
