Chapter 161: Hit the spot

Fu Zhaoning thought it was a bit strange that his grandfather wanted to keep Helian Fei so much.

But it is understandable. Old Master Fu has always been kind and generous. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the second, third and fourth wives to move in.

"Let him stay here for now."

Fu Zhaoning also felt that he had to at least take care of Helian Fei's leg during the recovery stage. Otherwise, he was unfamiliar with the place and if there was no one to take care of him, he wouldn't know what to do if he fell off the bed.

"From now on, he should change his name to Fu Xiaofei. Grandfather, don't tell anyone about his identity."

"Fu Xiaofei? Is it our surname?" Old Master Fu pondered the name and felt it was not that grand. However, it was just a pseudonym, and the child was still young, so calling him Xiaofei Xiaofei was quite intimate.

"Yes. He said he would take our last name first."

"Okay, okay."

Old Master Fu looked very happy.

When Helian Fei heard that Fu Zhaoning agreed to let him stay, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

"If my leg wasn't broken, I would have jumped three feet high right now!"

When Old Master Fu heard what he said, he couldn't help but laugh, "This child, does he like our family so much?"

"I like it. Can I follow my sister and call you grandpa? I don't have a grandfather."

"Okay, if you want to."

"I do! Grandfather! Xiaofei can't salute you now, I will do it after my injury heals."

"Hey, good boy!" Old Master Fu laughed heartily, "It's enough that you have this intention. No need to bow."

Fu Zhaoning felt that this old man and this child were quite destined to be together. Did they get along so well the first time they met?

"There are too many injured people in our family now. Chen Shan still has to be my coachman. I'm afraid Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong can't take care of them. I'll go find two more servants."

Fu Zhaoning really felt that there were not enough family members. Hu Zi also injured his leg, and now Helian Fei also broke his leg. They were all unable to move around easily. After all, Uncle Zhong was older and might not be able to support two injured people. Xiao Fei might not feel comfortable asking Aunt Zhong to take care of them.

And if my grandfather fainted or something, I’m afraid no one would be able to hold him.

Zhong Jian and the others were only lent to her by Xiao Lanyuan, so they could only protect the people at home; it was not their responsibility to take care of them.

"Our family expenses."

Old Master Fu was a little worried.

Hiring more people will mean more expenses. Wouldn't this also fall on Zhaoning's shoulders?

"Don't worry about this, Grandfather. Xiaofei has given him a bag of golden beans."

"A bag of golden beans?" Old Master Fu was shocked. "Then we have to find someone to take care of him. This child won't do without someone to take care of him."

Chen Shan knew that Fu Zhaoning was going to look for someone, so after thinking about it, he mentioned a few people to her.

"Miss, the ones I'm talking about now are different from Haozi and Tiezhu. They are not gangsters. They are all children from poor families. Most of their elders are gone, and they have never found a decent job. They are all hardworking."

"How can someone who is so diligent not find a job?" Fu Zhaoning was a little puzzled.

"It's not that they can't find one. There are reasons for that. Some of them were reluctant to sell themselves when their parents were still alive. Some of them are already married and their wives are too weak to leave them. Some of them have been replaced by others and are looking for short-term jobs everywhere."

"I want someone who can sign a contract to sell herself."

What Fu Zhaoning wants is someone who can loyally protect the Fu family.

Because then there will definitely be conflicts between her and the other families. She is not very reassured about not buying people but just hiring them.

Only with the indenture in her hand, she wouldn't have to worry about these people being bribed by others and becoming traitors.

"Yes, they should be willing now, otherwise life will be difficult. And Miss, you are kind, I will talk to them, and they will definitely be willing."

If it weren't for the fact that he had already gotten to know Fu Zhaoning's character over the past few days, Chen Shan wouldn't have dared to say this.

Because those people had been unwilling to sell themselves before, and also because they were afraid of meeting vicious and stingy masters, who would sell them again after a short period of time. If they were sold again and again, they would not be able to be with their wives and children, or they would be beaten to death for a small mistake, which was very scary.

But if it is sold to Fu Zhaoning, there should be no such worry.

"Then go meet them and explain things to them. If anyone is willing to come, bring them over to see us."

"yes."

Chen Shan was also very happy.

The more people there are in the Fu family, the better the master lives. With more acquaintances at home, he feels more sense of belonging and less lonely.

The next day, Chen Shan brought four people, two young men who looked honest and strong, and a couple in their late thirties.

They saw that Fu Zhaoning was a little nervous.

The daughter-in-law named Xinggu looked at Fu Zhaoning carefully.

"Have you heard about me?" Fu Zhaoning asked her.

Xing Gu was stunned for a moment, and then she wanted to kneel down. Fu Zhaoning held her up. "Stand up and talk. We don't have the rule of kneeling down at every turn."

Her words immediately made these people feel relieved.

They were afraid that after selling themselves into slavery they would lose all their dignity and would have to bow or kneel all day long.

"My dear lady, I was also on the street on the day of your wedding."

Xinggu said this very embarrassedly.

Fu Zhaoning was a little surprised.

"So you watched the whole thing? You saw me break off the engagement with Xiao Yanjing and pick another marriage on the street?"

Aunt Xing nodded.

What a coincidence.

"So you're afraid of me, and think I'm unreliable, that I'm shameless and have lost my reputation?"

"No, no, no," Aunt Xing was anxious and quickly waved her hands, "Miss, I haven't thought about it that way. Then Master Xiao and Miss Li will just watch."

She paused, not daring to continue.

After all, she was the prince of Prince Xiao's mansion and the apple of Doctor Li's eye. How could she dare to say anything bad about them?

But she really felt that those two people were more shameless. Their relationship didn't seem so innocent. She felt relieved when Miss Fu broke off the engagement.

Otherwise she wouldn't have come here with her husband.

"Now you are Princess Jun."

Xinggu's husband Qiu Sheng was a little uneasy, "We don't know whether he is considered to be from the Fu family or Prince Jun's mansion."

"Fu family."

Fu Zhaoning interrupted him directly.

The person she bought was of course from the Fu family. Was it her turn to buy the servants of Prince Jun's Mansion?

The few of them looked at each other, and it was Aunt Xing who spoke first, "Miss, they are all willing to be members of the Fu family."

"And you?"

"I, I also want to follow my husband, but Chen Shan didn't say that the lady wanted a girl."

"What would you do?"

"I can cook, clean and sew." Aunt Xing said quickly.

"Okay, then you stay too."

Chen Shan didn't know that when he went to look for someone, Fu Zhaoning asked Zhong Jian to follow him secretly. He also heard their conversation and had some understanding of their character and words.

"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss."

All four of them were very happy.

Xiaotao was also very happy.
