Chapter 36: Visitors from the Major Town
Beisitian glanced at Zhou Jiren intentionally or unintentionally, crumpling the paper of the Bag Talisman Powder into a ball.
"It’s all right now," Beisitian said.
She was just using the Xuan Talisman to enhance the functions of some herbs. Actually, even if she hadn’t treated her, Ma Xiaoling would have recovered gradually over time. It would just take a little longer.
Ma Xiaoling squeezed her lips, tears almost falling, finally able to speak.
Zhou Jiren glanced at Ma Xiaoling and said, "Since you’re healed, just leave. We don’t need a servant like you at Jishi Pharmacy."
Ma Xiaoling’s newly risen joy instantly vanished, her face turned pale. She lost her job? If this job is gone, who knows what kind of trouble her husband and mother-in-law will give her!
Moreover, if she loses this job, she won’t be able to find another one that pays as well and isn’t as exhausting.
By then, not just her in-laws, even her own family might look down on her!
Instinctively, Ma Xiaoling turned her gaze to Beisitian, hoping she would put in a good word for her.
Seeing her pleading look, Beisitian spoke up, "Let it go this time. I’ve already punished her. It’s not easy to find a job!"
Ma Xiaoling hadn’t expected Beisitian to actually plead for her, stood there dazed, feeling both grateful and moved.
Whether or not to dismiss a servant didn’t really matter. Zhou Jiren just thought Beisitian was somewhat intriguing and wanted to take the opportunity to get on her good side. Since she pleaded, he could do her a favor.
