Lian Fang Zhou greeted them and looked at Ah Jian. He nodded at her with a smile to indicate that nothing had gone wrong along the way. Lian Fang Zhou felt a little more at ease.
After all, their family had almost no basic foundation and was just a country family. They bought so many servants at once. If they couldnât manage them well, it would be troublesome.
âYou guys are pretty fast!â Lian Fang Zhou said with a smile.
Ah Jian smiled and said, âItâs not so far. The sky is getting dark, we should settle them first!â
Lian Fang Zhou nodded with a âhmâ and ordered everyone inside. First, she explained that if they worked hard, she would never treat them badly. If there was any sneaky, impure, or deliberate acts to deceive the boss, they would be sold immediately and never tolerated!
After everyone agreed, she ordered them to line up and take a set of clothing and bedding in order to go into the room and clean up.
While Zhang Xiuâer and her brother went to tidy up the arragment, Zhang Xiao Jun helped Qin Feng and Su Zi Ji carry the furniture inside. The three Lian siblings also went to help.
Seeing that everything was arranged, Lian Fang Zhou went to talk to Ah Jian.
âThese people are honest, right?â Lian Fang Zhou asked.
Ah Jian smiled. âI didnât see anything along the way. You are holding their deeds in your hand, so donât worry!â
Lian Fang Zhou smiled back unconsciously and said: âThatâs true! But in my heart, I always feel that itâs in vain, I donât have a bottom limit to worrying! Arenât I too petty? How many servants have I bought?â
âNo,â Ah Jian glanced at her faintly and chuckled, âyou are too kind-hearted, Iâm afraid they donât know what to do if they donât obey the rules. In fact, didnât you say it very clearly? If there are some who are not obedient, we will sell them! Since you plan on relying on them to sell cotton in the future, you canât be soft!â
Lian Fang Zhou was stunned. She nodded: âThank you for reminding me, I understand!â
Ah Jain smiled and said: âItâs not too early, now that they are settled down, letâs go back too!â
âAlright. I asked Third Aunt to cook some steamed buns and a pot of hot soup. It should already be finished, so we can just bring it over.â Lian Fang Zhou explained.
âThen I will go back and bring it here, I can pick you up along the way.â Ah Jian smiled. âAlso, ask Qin Feng and Su Zi Ji to go and bring over their bedding.â
Lian Fang Zhou agreed.
After the meal was delivered, Lian Fang Zhou gathered everyone in the dining area and explained the rules and ordered everyone to take bath tonight. After that, she introduced Qin Feng and Su Zi Ji to everyone and told them that they would listen to Qin Feng and Su Zi Jiâs instructions in the future. Finally, she explained the work that they would do tomorrow and left with Ah Jian and Lian Ze.
The servants knew that they would be working on a farm since Lian Fang Zhou had bought them. All of them had originally worked hard on the farms of wealthy families and hadnât thought much of it.
However, looking at the clothes of Lian Fang Zhouâs family, it was clear that the family was not rich and several of them could not help but worry about the future.
When they arrived, they were surprised to find that the living conditions were even better than their previous ones and they were very happy to see such a brand-new house. The clothes they received were also think and there was plenty of food. The soup was very meaty and they were overjoyed.
Many of the made up their minds then: As long as the Miss treated them like this, they would work steadily in the future and follow her with all their hearts!
As soon as Lian Fang Zhou and the others left, the group couldnât help but talk happily among themselves. Some people took the opportunity to flatter Qin Feng and Su Zi Ji but they were quickly struck down. Stunned, they didnât dare say anything.
After dinner, Qin Feng said lightly: âYou all heard what Miss said? Sister Zhang and Miss Xiuâer boiled hot water and we will wash away the bad luck! Go to bed early, we will get up early tomorrow to work! The Miss is kind but it is also conditional, provided that you work honestly and obediently. Otherwise, haha, donât blame me for not reminding you, our Miss is a powerful and capable person who will eat you if you lose your way! You can only blame yourself!â
Then he said, âLetâs go!â
Everyoneâs heart was stunned, and their voices rose with a âyesâ. But almost everyone was just responding with their lips, in fact it was not a matter of course.
Everyone thought: How powerful could a fourteen or fifteen year old girl be? No matter what, her means are limited! Director Qin was obviously trying to scare them, when were they that stupid�
Qin Feng and Su Zi Ji swept their gazes and found the thoughts in their hearts. They sneered privately before turning around.
The two now lived together in the West Wing, in different rooms.
Back in their living quarters, Su Zi Ji smiled and said: âThese people, Iâm afraid they are not honest yet. They will need to see Missâ tricks before they know how powerful she is.â
Qin Feng sighed: âItâs not surprising that these people are like this! Missâ roots are too shallow. In the future, we will have to work hard, the Miss treats us very well!â
He sighed again and looked around the room, full of new objects and bright and clean windows.
âWell, this is natural.â Su Zi Ji nodded, smiling. âYou are the one in charge of people. If you have any ideas for me to do, just open you mouth, Brother. There is nothing we canât speak about!â
Previously, Lian Fang Zhou had discussed it with the two and divided the work. Qin Feng would be in charge of staff affairs. Su Zi Ji was also in charge, but he would focus more energy on creativity and inventions.
In the past, this division of labor was almost the same.
âI know what Zi Ji is like, I will naturally speak with you!â Qin Feng smiled and then sighed again. âThe days have only just started to pick up. If there is a gap between us⌠that is reallyââ
âWe wonât, we wonât be in this lifeâŚâ Su Zi Ji said sadly and the two smiled at each other.
Madam Li and Zhang Xiuâer boiled several pots of water for the workers to use and then burned another for their own use. Fortunately, they were close to the river and it was only a few steps away, so there was no need to worry about running out of water.
When everything was cleaned up and the hour was late, the family of four finally returned to their house and closed the door.
The house had three rooms and two entrances and was equivalent to six rooms. Zhang Xiuâer slept in one of the back rooms and Zhang Liang in the other. The middle was the back hall and the center room was also a hall. The room near the door belonged to the Zhang couple. It was easy to hear if someone called at the door in the night. The opposite room was used to store sundries and daily necessities, such as pots and barrels.
The whole family was still full of disbelief at this time. Zhang Liang was so excited that he ran in and out of the room several times and his eyes were bright as he said: Father, mother, this place is great! Itâs better than the house we lived in before! I have never lived in a bigger or better house! Father, mother, we will have to live here in the future, okay?â
