"I'm going back to work upstairs. If you have anything to say, just come upstairs and find me." Shopkeeper Fang seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally accepted the fact.

He came here today to help his younger brother find two skilled hands, fearing that his younger brother would be fooled by that Huang boy. Who would have thought that when he came, his younger brother would still choose such a family that seemed to be unable to work.

However, his younger brother insisted on this family, and he had no choice but to accept it.

"Okay, thank you for today's matter, brother." Cao Xiangnan grinned. He probably knew what Shopkeeper Fang wanted to say. He had already obtained the indenture, and this matter was still thanks to Shopkeeper Fang's help.

Shopkeeper Fang waved his hand and left with his people.

He was left here with this family, all of them were staring at him eagerly, as if they were afraid that he would not want them. They looked pitiful, with pale and skinny faces, sunken cheeks and a pair of big eyes that looked particularly big.

This was the first time Cao Xiangnan had ever bought someone, and he felt a little guilty when being stared at by these people. But when he thought that this person would be his from now on, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. He was now a landlord, and if he went back and trained the person better, he could help with the work.

He thought that he looked like this when he was hungry before. This family was not ugly, but they were not good-looking either. After taking them back and raising them for a few months, they would probably look better.

"Come with me." Several people stood here staring at each other. Cao Xiangnan remembered that he had promised to find a doctor for them. He made a gesture to follow him and planned to take them to see Dr. Luo.

At this time, they still have to queue up. Dr. Luo's queue is full now. It will take some time to go there. In the past, he always went through the back door, but now it is not easy to take such a family through the back door. They still have to get a number and queue up.

After walking two steps, he turned around and saw the people behind him were still standing there. "Let's go." Cao Xiangnan waved his hand and said.

Could it be that the whole family who bought it are stupid? Then he really has to find the person just now to return the goods.

"Yes, yes, yes." The leading man followed, holding his sick wife in his hand, and the son on the right lent a hand. Several people followed, not walking fast, and followed their master at a moderate pace. Cao Xiangnan

deliberately slowed down his pace, waiting for them to come together.

On the way, he passed a steamed bun shop and saw the boy standing there, drooling. He turned back two steps, took out a few copper coins, and bought two coarse grain steamed buns for each of them, "Eat." He passed them over.

"Thank you, old man."

"Thank you, old man."

Seeing that the leading man took the buns but did not eat them first, but broke them open and fed them to his wife who was supported by him first, Cao Xiangnan's lips curled up unconsciously, and he smiled.

After getting the hot steamed buns, the children did not eat them first. They waited until their mothers ate them before they put them into their mouths. They looked at the old man who was walking in front of them, and the eldest son supported his mother and followed.

When they arrived at the clinic, the man breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the old man who bought their family did not deceive him. He did not turn around and drive away his sick wife, leaving only them, but brought them to the clinic to treat his sick wife.

There were some housekeepers in the mansion who came to pick people, either his two boys or his little brother. Even if they wanted his sick wife to go with them, those families refused.

It seems that he has met a good family now. Not only did they buy their whole family, but they were also willing to spend money to bring his sick wife to see a doctor.

After spending some time in the clinic, in addition to letting Dr. Luo examine the sick boy, he also took the pulse of the whole family in turn to make sure there was no problem before taking them back home.

When they came out of the clinic, the man who followed them took a packet of medicine in his hand and held it tightly. This was the life-saving stuff for his sick wife.

The doctor said that his wife couldn't do heavy work in the future, and she had to be taken care of. The master who bought them back bought them to work, not to serve them well. The more the man thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

"Master, please keep us. I, my family, are willing to work like a cow or a horse. As long as you keep my sick wife, I can do her work even if I'm tired. I can eat less and save a bite of food for her..." The honest man thought that he could do the work of two people, and they could eat the food of one person. As long as the master didn't send his sick wife away, he would be willing to do anything.

"Master, please, please let our mother stay here, I can eat less and save all my food for her."

"Master, you are so kind..."

"..." Cao Xiangnan was frightened by such a family. He looked around at the passers-by who turned their heads to look at them, and his face was full of black lines.

"All of you get up!" he said in a low voice.

This is so annoying! Can you please stop kneeling and kowtowing to him all the time? To receive such a big gift, he will have to shorten his life for many years! Shouldn't he change his way of kneeling and kowtowing every now and then?

Annoyed by such a family, Cao Xiangnan's face turned bad. Seeing that they all stood up, he said, "The first rule I want to set for you today is that you are not allowed to kneel down for no reason!"

"The second one, you are not allowed to speculate on my meaning without saying anything."

"The third one, I haven't thought of it yet, wait until I get back and think of it, then I'll tell you."

"Do you understand?" Cao Xiangnan was really angry. This family was so conservative that he would be so angry to death when he got back! This time he would really spend some time to train them so that they can do the job.

"Understand, I understand." The man knew that their old man was unhappy, and he was very uneasy, fearing that the old man would drive away their sick mother-in-law.

"Let's go." His eyes moved from the big ones to the small ones, and all the eyes were staring at him. He took a deep breath of seven, knowing that the people behind him would catch up with him. He didn't want to get angry with so many people here, so Cao Xiangnan left after saying this.

At this time, Wanfeng was still selling things in the shop. Cao Xiangnan brought a few people over to show Wanfeng. Qi Wanfeng had also seen these people. Seeing that his husband really went to buy a few people and came back, Qi Wanfeng was really a little amused. But since they had bought them, he might as well take them home and settle them down first. He asked his husband to take the people back first.

There are several empty rooms in the backyard for storing things. After spring, wild mushrooms are everywhere. At this time, mushrooms are cheap. Poor people can pick them in the mountains and would not spend money to buy them. At this time, there is no money to be made from growing mushrooms. Therefore, the rooms that used to grow mushrooms are now empty and put to good use.

The family's surname is Liu. Cao Xiangnan did not ask them to change their names after buying the house, but let them keep their original names.

"You guys can live here first." The room inside had been simply tidied up. Cao Xiangnan asked them to clean it up and move the folding bed in for a few days. He would have someone deliver the bed and tables and chairs later.

After they were settled, he would teach them how to do some household chores and what to do every morning. There was no need for the whole family to do these household chores. Just two people could do it.

The two boys could go to the academy to study and help with the chores in the shop in town. One of the boys was left behind to help Wanfeng look after the two children. As for the sick one, he was afraid that he could not work for the time being. He should be better after a month of recuperation. Cao Xiangnan told them his plan, "There is no heavy work to do at home now. Even the few acres of land are planted by hired people. If you can plant it by then, you can come back next year to plant it yourself."

So there is no need to worry about what Dr. Luo said. He will let the sick one do some heavy work, but it is impossible to buy him back and keep him. He should first make him well so that he can help later.

"Yes, yes, sir, we can plant it." Liu Guizhong, also a man in this family, said quickly.

When he heard what the old man said, he almost wanted to kneel down and kowtow to thank him, but when he thought of what the old man had just said, he had to hold it in and didn't make the old man unhappy again. When the younger ones saw that their father didn't kneel down, they didn't dare to kneel either.

Doesn't that mean they also have education? The two boys simply didn't want to believe it.

"That's good." Cao Xiangnan finally didn't feel that he had bought this family in vain.

With the labor of this family, the yard was cleaned up and in order in an afternoon, which was completely different from doing everything by himself. In this way, he didn't have to rush back home every day to cook a meal, and he also had to be busy tidying up the things at home in the evening. Now someone else would do all these.

So, buying this family was still useful.

When Qi Wanfeng came back in the afternoon, he saw a few more people in the house and went to take a look. He knew that the youngest son of the family was sick, so he came to express his concern. The children who followed him looked at them curiously, and Cao Xiangnan introduced them to them one by one.

The people who were bought lived in the house in the backyard, not in the same house with them, and would not disturb their lives.

Lying in bed at night, the person in his arms asked him why he went to buy a few people. He smiled and said, "It's not because I'm afraid that you will be alone at home after I leave. You can't handle so many things at home by yourself. It's better to buy a few people. In this way, even if I'm not at home, you have someone to help you do something at home, don't you think?"

"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng nodded, knowing that there are more and more things to do at home now. He is busy with things in the store all day, and no one is taking care of the house. They don't need a little money now, so it's okay to spend money to buy a few people to help with some work. Just like what my husband said, when my husband is at home, there is someone to help him with many things. If my husband is not at home, he really can't handle it all by himself. Xiaobaoer is clingy and will cry when he doesn't see anyone.

But now there are people helping with the housework, so even if he is alone at home, he won't be in a rush, which is a good thing.
