General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 617 True Family Affection and False Family Affection (1)

One by one, the girls suddenly realized that they had been deceived by their families. The beautiful dreams of the past few days were shattered at this moment. The girls felt like they had a lump in their throats. They were angry, furious, lost, deceived, sad, desperate... full of negative emotions. Nothing could be sadder than how they felt at this moment.

What pampering, what compensation, what closest person...it's all fake.

It's all fake, they're just in it for the money.

"Boss, is it possible that someone really wants to compensate us?" asked a young girl.

"Yes! Boss, is there such a possibility?" The girls all raised their heads and looked at Ji Xiaomu.

Ji Xiaowu nodded. "Of course there are. Maybe some of you are from poor families, so you favor boys. But your mother may have no choice because her family is poor, so she favors boys. If she has the conditions, she may really want to make up for it."

"Then how do we tell them apart?" The girls looked at Ji Xiaomu, believing that she must have a way to tell them apart.

"Do you all want to try it?" asked Ji Xiaomu with raised eyebrows.

"Yes!" The girls nodded heavily.

None of them wanted to give up the last glimmer of hope.

"Then you go back and tell them that Wang Guoer is an exception and she only did this when she had no other choice. You haven't finished your apprenticeship yet, so your monthly salary will be at most 500 coins. I will sign a contract with you only when you can finish your apprenticeship and produce some embroidered works." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile.

"If they still have doubts, you can say that I am a businessman. Merchants are not good people. How could they do such a loss-making business?" The girls remembered Ji Xiaomu's words in their minds.

But when he looked at Ji Xiaomu, he didn't believe that she would be that kind of person.

"The boss is a kind man." A young girl said firmly.

"Why are you so sure?" Ji Xiaomu chuckled.

"You didn't have to open this embroidery workshop. It was for us. You wanted to help us improve our current conditions so that we could have a skill. Even if we are alone in the future, we will never starve to death." The girl said seriously.

Ji Xiaowu was stunned, and the girls' eyes were firm. They all knew how much Ji Xiaowu had done for them. "Master and the others have already told us all these things. The boss is a good person, a kind man, otherwise you wouldn't tell us such sincere words."

"I didn't know I was so good! Thank you." Mother Ji laughed.

"Boss, let's go." The girls smiled at Ji Xiaou. Compared to their disappointment with their families, they felt warmed by Ji Xiaou, which was enough to wipe away the sadness brought by their families.

Their families had always ignored them, and their sudden concern was only temporary. They had long been accustomed to being ignored. Now that they knew the bloody truth, they actually knew it clearly in their hearts.

The glimmer of hope they hold on to is that they hope their family still has a little place for them in their hearts. Even if it's only a little bit, they will be happy, and that's all.

They don't ask for much, just a little bit of genuine care.

When the girls returned home, they couldn't wait to tell their family what Ji Xiaou had said. Sure enough, it caused a huge uproar and those who were daydreaming were directly sentenced to death.

"What? She doesn't want to sign a contract with you? Why?!"

"What do you mean you haven't finished your apprenticeship yet? You will be judged based on your ability after you appear. What can five hundred coins do? Are you going to send away beggars? I don't want to learn anymore!"
