Chapter 513 Help Me Up
"All of you are so capable, why didn't you help her just now?" Bai Jinli sneered.

"We also want to help! But we are poor people, we don't have the strength at all, we can't help, what can we do?"

"That's right! That's 100 taels of silver! 100 taels, my mother, that's our rations for several years? We really don't know what to do."

"It's not like you. They are all wives from rich families, so they definitely don't care about such a small amount of money."

"..."

Bai Jinli chuckled lightly after listening to the words that you should help her if you are rich, otherwise you will be ridiculed and looked down upon by us.

"Then you really said the wrong thing, I care. 100 taels of silver is not small money, and my family also came from the poor countryside."

"Even if I have money now, so what? Naturally, I can spend my money as I want. Do I need you to teach me?"

"Leaving aside this point, has it never been your wish to help others? What are you doing? Persecution? To put it bluntly, whether I want to help has nothing to do with you?"

"Why didn't you help out when it was only a piece of silver? What? Could it be that you still want to tell me that your family is so poor that you can't even get a piece of silver?"

"Since you can't do something, why ask me to do it? What's wrong with you guys?"

After Bai Jinli finished saying this, the faces of those who were watching and gossiping about her suddenly became very difficult to look at.

"You are such a person that you look down on us poor people. We kindly give you advice and ask you to do some good things, but you are so good that you curse people."

"If you're really that kind, it's better for you to do this kind of good deed yourself." Bai Jinli looked at the person who spoke.

"Heaven and earth conscience, the poor have no way out these days! No wonder we poor people deserve to be sold and scolded? Hey..."

Regarding those people's unreasonable, ignorant, and deliberately finding fault, Bai Jinli also expressed that he did not want to continue entangled with them.

He took a look at the girl holding her thigh. Although the girl was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, she looked pitiful, but when she looked closely, it was not difficult to see that her facial features were still very beautiful.

The skin on her hands is fair and delicate, without traces of rough work.

The facial expression is very precise, obviously being suppressed by so many servants, but she was able to break free precisely when passing by her side, hugging her thigh so tightly that she couldn't break free even if she knew martial arts.

No matter how I look at it, I feel that everything is too coincidental, as if someone deliberately premeditated it.

If this is the case, the origin and purpose of this girl are worth thinking about.

"Hey, what's the matter with you? If you don't give me any more money, don't blame the uncle, I will take you two away together!"

Seeing the stalemate at the scene, the ugly man couldn't help but growl.

"Xiangming, beat them up."

"Yes." Hearing that Bai Jinli finally told her to beat up, Xiang Tea's cold face flashed with excitement.

In just a few minutes, Xiang Tea just stretched his hands and feet slightly, and turned those who were beaten by those people on their backs, lying on the ground and wailing non-stop.

"Too light."

After hearing Bai Jinli say these three words, Xiang Ming walked over and picked up the collars of those who fell on the ground, giving them another storm of devastation.

It wasn't until those people were beaten lying on the ground that they couldn't get up at all, and everyone looked very miserable, with more air and less air, and when their faces were full of fear and fear, Xiang Tea stopped and retreated quietly. Behind Bai Jinli.

"Yes, Not Bad."

"You, still not letting go?" Bai Jinli said softly, glancing at the girl who was holding onto her thigh.

The girl couldn't help trembling slightly, and quickly let go of the thigh she was holding.

This... This lady looks a little unpredictable, and the maid beside her is too cruel.

Should she follow up to complete the task?

If she finds something wrong with her, will she be beaten to death?

but……

Thinking of the man who gave her orders and what he said, a flash of determination quickly flashed in the girl's eyes.

For the future, she worked hard.

"Thank you Madam for your great kindness. The little girl is willing to follow Madam for the rest of her life." The girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bai Jinli.

"What's your name?" Bai Jinli looked at her and asked.

"Go back to madam, servant girl Xiuhe."

"You said before that you are willing to be a cow and a horse to repay me. Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true, I hope Madam will learn from it." Hearing Bai Jinli's question, Xiuhe felt that there was something going on, so she quickly swore.

"Well, very good, remember what you said today." Bai Jinli looked at her and chuckled.

"Yes, the servant will remember."

After hearing Bai Jinli's chuckle, for some reason, Xiuhe couldn't help feeling numb all over.

It's just that this matter has finally progressed to this point, and she naturally cannot back down.

Maybe she was just thinking too much.

"Very good. I'll give you two days. You go to settle down with your father first, and report to the White House in two days."

"Baifu?" Xiuhe looked up and asked curiously, pretending to know nothing.

"Xiangming, tell her the exact address."

"Yes, master."

After Xiangming finished talking to her, Bai Jinli took Xiangming and left here, walking to a bank not far away.

"Thank you, aunts, aunts, uncles, and uncles, for your concern, thank you."

Xiuhe thanked the onlookers around, and after they all left, she walked to two beggars squatting on the street corner not far away and whispered a few words to them.

Soon, the two beggars walked up to Xiuhe's father, carried his body and followed behind Xiuhe, gradually out of everyone's sight.

On a nearby attic, Lin Ziang, who saw the whole process through the half-closed window, looked away, and spoke lightly with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Go back."

----

After Bai Jinli entered the bank, he handed over the box Mrs. Ye gave her.

When Ye Liangchen came to her, he made it clear that the few hundred taels of silver he gave her at the beginning was a deposit, and if she could take care of Ye Li's illness, she would give 500 taels of gold.

And in the box that she has been holding all the time, there is a note that can withdraw 500 taels of gold from this bank.

500 taels of gold is indeed a lot, which not only includes the treatment fee, but also the hush money and show of favor to her.

So, she took it very calmly.

Two days later, Xiuhe, carrying a small cloth bag, really appeared at the gate of the White Mansion.

After she expressed her intention to come, the housekeeper Lao Zhou brought her in and arranged for her to serve by Mrs. Li's side.

Of course, this was deliberately ordered by Bai Jinli.

She knew that Xiuhe came to the White Mansion for a different purpose, but in order to find out her purpose and who was behind it, she was deliberately brought to the White Mansion.

However, since she is here, she must be given some opportunities to perform.

She herself said that she wants to be a cow and a horse, so let her experience it.

In addition to explaining it to Lao Zhou, Bai Jinli also specifically told Mrs. Li about it.

Mrs. Li knew that this maid named Xiuhe had impure motives, but in order to cooperate with her daughter's investigation, she pretended not to know anything and began to hone this maid.

There are several cows raised in the backyard of the White Mansion, and Mrs. Li asked Xiuhe to feed the cows every day, then milk the cows, clean the cowshed, and bathe the cows.

After finishing these, there is still a large vegetable field to be reorganized.

After finishing these, Xiuhe still needs to do a series of menial tasks such as cleaning the backyard, fetching water, and washing clothes according to the requirements of Mrs. Li.

Xiuhe is so busy every day that she hardly has any free time except for eating and sleeping.

At first, she couldn't do these tasks, and she was reprimanded by Mrs. Li.

Xiuhe saw for the first time what cruelty is.

She was completely stunned by the scolding by Mrs. Li, she couldn't resist, she didn't dare to refute, she couldn't leave, so she had to grit her teeth and do things that she had never done before.

There's no way, it's her own promise to be a cow and a horse.

She thought this sentence was just used to express her attitude, but she never thought that the people in the White Mansion would really treat her like this.

When she was in the previous mansion, she was also a second-class maid. In the past, she only did some delicate work of serving tea, pouring water, watering flowers, and mending. Where did she do this.

She also thought that she could do the same when she came to the White House, and then she could take the opportunity to complete her task.

Fortunately, she is so overwhelmed by all kinds of work every day that she can hardly leave the backyard of the Bai mansion, let alone go to Bai Jinli's yard to inquire about news and drive a wedge between the host and Bai Jinli.

It can't go on like this, she has to find a way.

Looking at the stocky cows in the backyard, Xiuhe's face was very ugly.

The smell near the cowshed was very bad. She, a young girl, had to go to the dirty cowshed to milk the cows, bathe the cows, and clean the cowshed every day, which really made her sick.

Hey, wait, bathing the cow?
Soon, Xiuhe took the bucket to fetch cold water and walked to the side of the cowshed, then picked up the brush and walked inside.

As a result, the brush in her hand accidentally slapped the cow's buttocks, and the cow became very angry and kicked over the bucket next to it.

All the water in the bucket flowed out, instantly soaking her clothes.

Although the current weather is not bad, but the cold water still feels cool after wetting the whole body.

Xiuhe gritted her teeth and shivered, and went to bring another bucket of water, but was kicked over by the angry bull again, and the water spilled on her again.

Not only that, but she, too, was kicked by the mad cow.

Xiuhe screamed, lying on the ground in a very embarrassing situation and shivering, and passed out not long after.

She was discovered by a young man who also worked in the backyard. After the young man called for someone, a woman came to give her a pulse and prescribed medicine not long after.

She squinted her eyes full of worry, struggling to get up.

"What's wrong with me? I haven't finished my work yet, hurry up, help me up, I'm going to work!"
