Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit surprised. Nodded, she said, "Good, Yesu, you passed. I hope you can keep your words. Our benefits here won't be worse than being a maid anywhere else. I just want to lay out the uglies from the get go. You must follow orders here. I don't want any unpleasant situations in the future, understood?"
"Yes, miss, Yesu understood!" Liu Yesu walked 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 agreed to these conditions!"
"....."
A few other girls also agreed to it and looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao with reserve. From the way they look, one could tell they meant what they've said.
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded at them, agreeing to accept them into the Cheng's. The remaining five girls felt uneasy and did not voice their decisions.
Seeing Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at them, they started getting nervous. One of them said softly, "Miss, can I... can I ask my parents first?"
"Sure, go back, ask them, and come back tomorrow. If your parents decline, then no need to come back!"
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled at them, "Don't worry, just go home now!"
"Yes, miss!"
The young girls dare not stay any longer. They turned around and left the courtyard.
The ones who departed were all around seven or eight years old. They were still young and couldn't make decisions on their own, so Cheng Xiao Xiao wouldn't hold that against them.
The ones that were left were between nine 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 the household much younger.
Scanning over everyone, Cheng Xiao Xiao called them 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?"
"Yes, miss!"
After telling them what to do, Cheng Xiao Xiao walked outside of her house taking her two new maids with her. The two of them were cousins, not only do they have nice names, they are also both decent looking!
Cheng Xiao Xiao, who had been quite busy lately, seemed to be getting happier.
"You mistress, we just got a letter. It looks like it's addressed to master and you!"
