Chapter 539 New Member
I heard from my wife that they will not be short of food and other necessities in the future, and they will not be tortured. It would be great if this could really be the case.
Who can guarantee that every master is a good person? In this era, how many servants are tortured to death? Living a good life is better than anything else.
They had heard what the lady had just said, and now they were certain that as long as they worked hard, they would be able to survive.
This was just the lady's warning. The master next to her didn't say much from beginning to end, which made it even more difficult to understand, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
Obviously, the others also knew this fact. They were all servants, and they were well aware that their lives were lowly.
It doesn't matter if you're tired, at least you'll have food to eat and can survive, which is better than being sold to a black-hearted master.
Lu Chuan took them on the boat and headed home.
As they were in a hurry, they did not have lunch. Xu Han was extremely hungry at this time and was in no mood to continue to understand and criticize them. She just stayed aside and just hoped to go home early.
After finally getting off the boat, Lu Chuan led them on a quick journey before they finally saw the house.
When they saw a long row of blue brick and tile houses in the valley, they were a little surprised. It was absolutely rare to build so many blue brick and tile houses in that era. It seemed that the new owner had a good financial background!
Come to think of it, if he really had no money, how could he buy so many servants at once?
When the group arrived home, there was no one in the valley. They thought that the Taoist priest must have taken them to the mountains to pick walnuts or something.
Xu Han looked at them and said, "You ladies go to the kitchen and cook something first. The rest of you can take a rest if you have nothing to do. By the way, you don't have to cook for the two of us. We will go back to the old house and not live with you.
But there are other servants living here. They should have gone to the mountains. I will introduce them to you when they come back. Please make yourselves at ease now."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "All the food in the kitchen can be used. You can cook it yourself and fill your stomach first."
After Xu Han finished speaking, she went home with Lu Chuan. It was already past dinner time, so they decided to go home and fill their stomachs before thinking about the rest.
When they got home, Xu Han happened to see Ma Pozi and Zhou weeding in the vegetable garden together. Xu Han slapped his forehead and thought, "Oh, right, how could I forget about them!"
Zhou was responsible for feeding the chickens, ducks and geese, while Ma was responsible for cleaning the yard of the old house. Normally, the two of them did not follow the actions.
The main reason is that there is too much work to do at home. If everyone goes to the mountains, there will be no one to work at home. The two of them probably did not go to the mountains today.
Xu Han said to the two of them, "We don't have enough manpower at home, so we went to the county town to buy a few more people today. They are already in the valley, so you two should go back first.
They just arrived and are unfamiliar with everything here, so go back and help make lunch and clean up."
The two of them immediately agreed upon hearing this. The Taoist priest had already told them about this in the morning, so they were not surprised to hear the news. They were just worried.
I hope the person my wife chooses this time is someone who is easy to get along with, not someone who is confused. The atmosphere in the valley is very good now. Although we are a little tired every day, we are all very united.
If some people who don't know what's going on come, the future will be miserable.
But they also knew that it was necessary for the master to buy people, and they had no right to say no. Moreover, it would be a good thing for them to have someone to help share some of the work.
Before the two of them left, Ma Pozi asked, "Madam, we didn't know that you and the master didn't have lunch, and we didn't leave any food for you at noon. How about I stay and make lunch for you?
Xu Han waved her hand and said, "No need. The meal for the two of us is simple. I can cook it myself later. You guys should go over there. There are many people there. I guess they are in trouble now!"
After hearing this, the two of them said nothing more and turned to walk towards the valley.
At this time, the people in the valley were indeed confused. Li Wen's wife Liu and several other women were anxious about making lunch.
Before leaving, the lady told them to make their own lunch. It wasn't that they didn't know how to make it. It was mainly because the lady didn't tell them the standard for making lunch. They originally wanted to just make some wild vegetable porridge or black flour cakes!
Because this is how ordinary farmers eat, but when they came to the kitchen, they were completely confused. Looking at the food in the kitchen, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Because there were other servants living here, and these were obviously their food rations, these people did not dare to use them without permission, for fear of causing a quarrel with the old people here because of this matter when they met for the first time.
They all just arrived, so it's better for them to get along peacefully, and not make trouble over such trivial matters.
Of course, Xu Han realized afterwards that she had not thought it through at the time. She only wanted to go home for dinner and did not consider their situation at all.
Just when they were in trouble, Zhou and Ma came back. Because there was no wall in the yard, they could see from a distance a group of people standing in the yard. There were at least a dozen or twenty people.
The two looked at each other and thought to themselves, "As expected of a lady, she is not a spendthrift, but when she does, she is different from others. Only a lady like her can afford to buy so many people at once."
Although the two thought so in their hearts, they couldn't help but quicken their pace. When they got closer, the person who was originally sitting nearby immediately stood up, looking at each other, and for a moment they couldn't figure out the identity of the person who came.
Zhou smiled and said, "You are the ones that Madam brought back. You can call me Aunt Zhou. This is Aunt Ma. We were also brought back by Madam. We came here more than two months earlier than you."
The people in the kitchen came out after hearing the noise. They introduced themselves to each other. Ma Pozi went straight to the point and said, "I heard from Madam that you haven't had lunch yet. Madam asked us to come back and help you make lunch. Have you started yet?"
Mrs. Li, who was the same age, answered, "You came at the right time. We were just worrying about how to prepare lunch! We are new here and are not familiar with the place. We don't know what to do."
Zhou smiled and said, "Most of the things here were bought by the master, you can use them. The food and other food are also provided by the master."
Mrs. Ma also smiled and said, "Come on, let's do it together so you can get familiar with it."
