The young girl was overwheld by what they said. She stood there with her head down, fidgeting her fingers. She retorted softly, “I am not a bringer of misfortune. I did not kill my parents…”
Not only did the other servants beside her not stop, but they also laughed even louder and said, “Did you hear that? This girl claid that her parents were not killed by her. If that was the case, why did her grandparents sell her off? For bringers of misfortune like her, you will have bad luck just by standing next to her.”
Once soone said that, the people around the young girl imdiately stepped away, leaving her standing alone.
When the broker saw that Zhao Chuchu’s expression had turned ugly, he imdiately shouted angrily, “What are all of you doing? Do you want to be chased out of the broker house? Where do you think you are right now? How dare you act so presumptuously in front of our guest. Silence, all of you! Otherwise, don’t bla for being rough! You do this every day. Will maggots grow in your mouths if you don’t spout nonsense?
The crowd fell silent. However, they did not cease their disdain toward the young girl.
Zhao Chuchu asked, “What is her situation?
Before the broker could speak, soone interrupted him, saying, “When she was born, her mother nearly died giving birth to her and later fell ill. On the day of her birth, her father broke his leg. Madam, don’t you think that she is a bringer of misfortune?
“I heard that in her village, it did not end well for anyone who approached her. Due to this, her grandparents decided to sell her off. I slept beside her before. When I woke up, my knee was swollen. Don’t you think that everyone around her ended up being cursed?”
“Madam, anyone else is better than that retard. Will you not consider changing her for soone among us?
Zhao Chuchu was speechless.
She initially did not plan to say anything. However, this group of people had truly gone too far. Many of them were bullying a young maiden.
At a glance, one could tell that the young girl was not the troublemaking type. They targeted the little girl like that so that they could snatch her chance of being chosen by Zhao Chuchu!
However, even if these people were given to Zhao Chuchu for free, she would not want them.
Aside from causing trouble, they were also the kind of shallow-sighted people who would offend many people.
She smiled and said to the woman who spoke earlier, “Isn’t it normal for won to have complications during childbirth? You appear to have had children yourself. Why are you harsher than other people’s mothers-in-law? If a father knew that their child was born, in their excitent, accidents could happen. What does that have to do with her?
“It is said that it is always won who make things difficult for other won. I can now say that I have seen it firsthand. As for you, you even bla her when you got up at night and bumped into things when you weren’t looking carefully. Will you also bla the floor for being too hard when you can’t shit? You really know how to justify yourself.”
She continued, “Last of all, why should I choose gossipers like all of you? Do you think I’m worried that my family affairs will not be made public? All of you are mothers. Why do you treat your children like treasures but others like trash?
“You dare make things difficult for this young girl. You embarrass her just because the two of you don’t see eye to eye. All of you bully the good and fear the evil. Your thoughts are vicious. I wonder which unfortunate soul will end up buying you bringers of misfortune!”
All the people went silent after being scolded by Zhao Chuchu. They all had ugly expressions.
As for the young girl, when she heard Zhao Chuchu say all that, she looked up at the latter in disbelief.
Zhao Chuchu was the first person who stood up for her and helped her to
refute accusations thrown at her.
The young girl felt that her gloomy world seed to have been ripped apart and a beam of sunlight started shining on her.
“You, co over here.”
Zhao Chuc.hu gestured to the young girl.
The young girl hopped towards her and greeted, “Hello, Madam.”
“Hmm. Wait at the side first,” replied Zhao Chuchu while nodding her head in acknowledgnt. She then asked the broker, “Do you have other servants?” The broker was ashad because of what his newcors had said.
He did not dare to say anything to Zhao Chuchu. Fortunately, she spoke first.
He quickly replied, “We have, but I fear that you will not be able to handle them. They are not ordinary people.”
“Bring them all. I want to see all of them. I will decide that for myself.” “Alright.
The broker brought those who were not chosen back to the backyard and scolded them loudly, “Who do you think you are? Your slave contracts are in my hands and you’ll live the rest of your days as slaves! How dare you spout nonsense in front of my noble guest? Just you wait and see how I’ll punish all of you. Did you think that you’re lords and noble ladies?”
All the servants kept quiet.
The broker continued, “All of you, just wait and see. Those who spoke the loudest just now will get the heaviest punishnt. You’re now in a broker house. You don’t have a say here. Know your place! Otherwise, I’ll sell all of you to the mines, and you’ll have no chance of being a free man ever again..”
