The old man said, "Okay, let's all sit down and eat. It's cold out here. If we keep talking, the food on the table will get cold."

Upon hearing this, everyone sat down one by one.

"Miss, you and the six young masters can sit first, we can sit at the bottom." Yueyang said.

Xu Zhiyong put his arm around Yueyang and said, "Don't be polite. It doesn't matter where we sit. We are all brothers."

Xu Wenwu nodded and said, "Please sit down, there's no need to refuse this small matter."

At the adults' table, the old man instructed Ding Hui beside him to fill everyone's glass with fruit wine.

Then the old man raised his glass and said, "Once the New Year is over the day after tomorrow, the new year will begin. I have seen everyone's efforts this year, especially the brothers Shusheng and Kuiwu. It's not easy for them to travel around. On behalf of everyone in the Xu family, I want to thank you for your continued efforts at today's welcoming banquet."

The head of the Xu family personally thanked them, which made the second son and his friends feel extremely flattered. They quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for your courtesy, old man. We all like this job very much, and we get a lot of salary every month. We are all rough guys, so we don't need to be so picky."

"Yes, old man, we have paid and you have rewarded us. You must thank us in person." The third one among the few people also said.

The old man smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll drink this first as a toast."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the fruit wine in the glass.

Seeing this, Qian Shusheng and the second brother also raised their glasses with both hands and drank them all.

The wine in the cup was finished and everyone took their seats.

"Grandpa, I have something to tell you." Qian Shusheng sat down, put down his wine glass and said.

"Scholar, just tell me what you want." said the old man.

"It's like this. I plan to buy a piece of land in Xujia Village and build a wooden house like the ones in the village. I wonder if this is convenient?" Qian Shusheng said.

Wang Shi heard this and continued, "Scholar, why are you building a house when everything is fine? Aren't we living here perfectly well?"

Qian Shusheng explained with a smile: "Aunt, it's like this. You see, Xuedong has grown up. He will get married and have children in the future. It will not be convenient for him to live in the Xu family anymore. However, the relationship between our two families remains the same as before and will not change because of this incident."

Wang said, "That's not what I meant, but you're right. Xuedong is old enough to get married, and he wants to have a family of his own in the future. You're right."

The old man said, "Okay, after the New Year, I will go talk to the village chief and he will definitely agree. The villagers will definitely not object. After all, Yueru has done them a favor."

The favor the old man was talking about was that Madam Qian taught the girls in the village embroidery for free. Now, everyone in Xujia Village, young or old, calls Madam Qian "Master". After all, they are learning in a school, so calling her "Master" is appropriate.

Qian Shusheng said, "Then please help me talk to him. But don't worry, we are not competing with the villagers for business. We just use it for our own residence."

The old man pretended to be angry and said, "What are you talking about?"

Mr. Qian said, "Don't be angry, old man. I'm speaking from the heart. I know you're good to me, but I really don't want to compete with everyone in the village for this business. Besides, Yueru definitely can't do this business. She's also busy with embroidery at school, so how can she have the time to do this?"

The old man also understood and said, "Scholar, don't worry, leave the construction of the house to me. I will find someone to build it after the New Year."

Qian Shusheng clasped his fists and said in gratitude, "Thank you very much, uncle. I'll just have to trouble you and the three brothers from the Xu family to help take care of me. I'll be leaving soon after the New Year, so I'll be troubling you with the family matters."

Uncle Xu said, "That's nothing! Just go about your business with peace of mind. I hope that one day, our hot pot base will be sold all over Dragon Soul Country."

Qian Shusheng said with great ambition: "This is also my wish. I, Qian Shusheng, can also accomplish great things in my middle age. What I didn't do when I was young, it's not too late now."

The old man smiled and said, "Scholar, eat your food, and Second Brother, you should eat too. We can talk after you are full."

Upon hearing this, everyone picked up the chopsticks at hand and started eating.

The meal ended with everyone chatting and laughing, and the servants quickly cleared the food on the table.

Wang said, "Mei Niang, and Chunlan, you girls, I told you not to wait on me, but you didn't listen. You must be hungry, so go eat something to fill your stomach."

Chunlan bowed and said, "Madam, we have all agreed that we will eat after the masters have finished eating."

The old lady asked, "Why now? We've never been so particular about this before. As long as you are respectful to your duties, the Xu family is just a peasant family, so there are not so many rules."

Chunlan said, "Madam, with the eldest young master here, the Xu family will one day be able to bring glory to the family. Then we servants must also abide by the rules of a wealthy family. We can only eat after the masters have finished eating. Otherwise, if outsiders see us, not only will they accuse us of being unruly and disobeying the masters, but they will also laugh at the Xu family for not setting rules for servants. We all know that the master and mistress of the family are very kind to us. Because of this, we must not let a stain be stained on the Xu family again because of us."

Wang was stunned by Chunlan's words, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are all good."

Mei Niang also said, "Old Madam, what Chunlan said is true. Although I don't know what the rules are for servants in wealthy families, they are definitely not as tolerant as you, Old Madam, are towards each of us. So please approve everyone's request."

"Yes, old lady!" The other maids and servants all said in unison.

Looking at everyone's eyes looking at her, Wang felt emotional. Her servants really treated her as a member of the Xu family. Everyone was doing the best for the Xu family, which moved her, an old woman who had lived for most of her life.

She had heard many stories of servants bullying their masters and selling out their masters for personal gain, but in her family, this was absolutely impossible. This also proved that having these servants in the Xu family was a blessing...

Wang looked at so many pairs of expectant eyes and finally nodded, saying, "Okay, then we'll do as you say. However, the food, drinks, and other necessities will remain the same as before. You will eat what we eat. You are all still growing up, so you can't let them go uneaten."

"Yes, old lady!"

When the servants heard this, they all laughed and said in unison.

Wang smiled and said, "Alright, alright, stop looking at me like that. Let's pack up and go eat."

The old man was also very relieved. All the servants in the house were good people. Qibao had picked them one by one from the human traffickers. He had to say that his granddaughter's vision of people was really impeccable.
