However, no one spoke up about leaving.

They finally found such a stable job, and even though the monthly salary was low, they were reluctant to leave.

I just don't know if this employer is easy to get along with.

Yun Zhiyi nodded. "Alright, in that case, everyone raise your heads and, from right to left, sign in and introduce the work you are responsible for."

Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated before raising their heads, but still dared not look at her closely.

“Master, my name is Li Fu. I am in charge of the gatekeeper position in the manor, and I also take care of cleaning the gatehouse, courtyard and stables.”

The person on the far right of the first row is Old Li, who was leading Yun Zhiyi around.

He started it, and the others followed suit, stumbling and stammering as they began to report.

"My name is Liu Dashan, and I'm in charge of the kitchen and meals in the village."

"My name is Li Cuizhi, and I am in charge of cleaning the central courtyard in the village."

...

After listening to everyone's introduction, Yun Zhiyi nodded and then asked.

"Who here can read and do arithmetic?"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment and fell silent.

A few breaths later, a hand timidly rose.

Yun Zhiyi looked over and recognized her as the lively girl named Xiaolian whom she had met before.

Xiao Lian said timidly, "Master, I know a few words, but not many, and I can't write them. I can only do some simple arithmetic."

"Do you know how to use an abacus?" Yun Zhiyi asked.

Xiaolian hesitated, "I know a little bit."

Yun Zhiyi nodded. "You stay. The rest of you can go down and do what you need to do."

He nodded to Steward Wei, saying, "Thank you for your help these past few days, Steward Wei."

"No trouble at all. If there's nothing else, I won't bother the Yun family any longer."

"Please go ahead."

After everyone left, Yun Zhiyi turned around and walked inside, saying, "Come with me."

Xiaolian twisted her fingers, somewhat regretting her earlier outburst.

I don't know what the employer is planning to do now.

Although her employer was about the same age as her.

But it always gave her a feeling of being suffocated.

She walked in cautiously, and heard the owner say, "Come here, pick up the abacus, I'll give you a number, and you type it out."

"Yes," Xiaolian replied hastily, and walked to the table, where she indeed saw an abacus.

"What is the total of 158 taels plus 459 taels?"

Xiaolian realized what was happening a second later, and quickly recited the numbers again silently before carefully moving the beads.

Whether it was because the number was beyond her arithmetic range or because she was too nervous, she dialed the wrong number twice in a row, and the final answer was naturally wrong.

Yun Zhiyi frowned slightly.

Then he announced a series of numbers, "eighty taels plus one hundred and two taels".

Xiaolian's forehead was covered in sweat, and her hands were trembling as she tapped the beads again.

This time it was the right decision.

"Two hundred and thirty-five taels plus three hundred and twenty-eight taels"

Xiao Lian wiped the sweat that had slid down her face with her sleeve, and then carefully resumed fighting.

Unfortunately, I made a mistake again.

Upon hearing a soft sigh, she froze, then quickly turned around and bowed in apology.

"I'm sorry, Master, it's because Xiaolian's skills are not good enough."

Yun Zhiyi was indeed somewhat disappointed; this math skill was completely inadequate.

She waved her hand, "It's alright, you can go down too."

Xiaolian breathed a slight sigh of relief and carefully backed away.

But when I was about to leave, I thought about it and couldn't help but ask.

"Is the employer looking for someone who can read and write?"

Yun Zhiyi looked up at her. "You know someone?"

Xiaolian hesitated, "My father used to be a scholar and also worked as an accountant. I learned arithmetic from him, but I didn't master it."

"Oh? So where does your father work now?"

Xiaolian quickly waved her hand, "No, my dad farms in the village."

Yun Zhiyi raised an eyebrow. "Since you have such skills, why don't you go to the city and find a good job?"

A scholar who is good at math can at least become a teacher, even if he doesn't work as an accountant.

Xiaolian's face stiffened, and she twisted her fingers, unsure of what to say.

Upon seeing this, Yun Zhi knew there was more to the story.

She didn't urge her, she just waited for her.

Xiaolian bit her lip hard, her eyes reddening.

“My father used to work as an accountant at Fukang Restaurant. He was later falsely accused of falsifying accounts, kicked out, and had his leg broken. But I can guarantee that my father really did not do such a thing. My father is an upright man who despises such petty tricks and would never falsify accounts to deceive people.”

Yun Zhiyi frowned.

It's Fukang Restaurant again. It seems this restaurant has quite the knack for causing trouble.

As for whether this is true or not, we will have a general idea once we meet the person.

When Xiaolian saw her frown, her heart sank to the bottom.

She wiped away her tears and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, boss, please, please just pretend I didn't say anything."

She knew that such a guarantee was useless.

Otherwise, his father wouldn't have ended up having to go back home to farm.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard a sentence.

"If your father is willing, he can come over tomorrow, but I need to test him first."

Xiaolian looked up suddenly, her eyes filled with disbelief, followed by surprise.

His eyes, washed with water, shone like an electrified light bulb, incredibly bright.

"Master, you... thank you, Master. My father will definitely agree. I'll go back and talk to him tonight."

After saying that, he excitedly turned and ran away.

Yun Zhiyi couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Happiness can be quite simple sometimes.

She packed her things, turned around and went to the boudoir prepared for her, then went directly into her spatial dimension.

At this moment, a group of people who had already left were still hiding behind the gate of the outer corridor, anxiously watching the gate.

Li Fu was worried that Xiao Lian would be punished because she had accidentally offended the boss before.

"That girl is really something. With such mediocre skills, she dares to show her face. When we get back, I'll have to get Chengzhi to keep an eye on her."
