The young man's home is in a village near Qingyan Town. His name is Yang Guangliang.
Because his family was poor, he came to the town to work, but he was too small and too thin to do heavy work.
No one wanted him, but since he could read a few words, Li Yu stayed.
The five men made up their minds, paid the man from Wu one or two taels of silver, and he took the rest and left.
Coincidentally, the middle-aged man was from the same village as Lin Ruopo's family, Taowan Village.
His name was He Dafang. He used to be a peddler and his family lived well.
As a result, one time when he went out to do business, he was robbed and owed a lot of foreign debts including his capital and goods.
In order to avoid being implicated, his family separated him from his wife and children, and sold the divided house and land to pay off the debt.
The family now lives in town, renting the cheapest house. His wife washes clothes for others, and he does hard labor.
The sisters live in the town. Their father has passed away, their mother is seriously ill, and they have a younger brother.
There is no other way, the responsibility of supporting the family falls on them.
While collecting laundry on the street, they heard that there were recruiting people here, so they came over, thinking that they could try their luck and get selected. To their surprise, they were all selected.
The older sister is Jin Xiaoping and the younger sister is Jin Xiaohui.
The cook's name is Zhou Liancao. She also lives in the town. After she came back, she couldn't stay idle at home every day. The children were grown up, and she was not willing to serve her son and daughter-in-law.
I just plan to find something to do.
Li Yu started speaking only after several people introduced themselves.
“Our family is not that wealthy, we don’t have many rules, and we don’t need to kneel down, but this doesn’t mean you can’t follow the rules.
Lao He will be in charge of the gate for us from now on. There is a gatehouse here and you can live there. You can clean the yard on a daily basis.
Xiao Yang, together with Lao He, cleaned the house.
Especially the bedroom and study of unmarried young masters, and also for running errands, passing messages and the like.
The kitchen is left to Aunt Zhou. There is no need to prepare any banquets or anything like that, just home-cooked meals will do.
As for you two, your elder sister is with your pregnant grandmother, and your younger sister usually serves tea and water, and cleans the women's room.
Do you understand what you should do?"
"Madam, I understand."
Although Li Yu was not used to them calling themselves slaves, he also understood the principle of adapting to local customs.
Otherwise, if someone of some status comes to their house and their servants keep calling them "mine", people will think that this family has no manners.
After speaking a long string of words, Li Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
What seemed like a very ordinary action to her, made the old lady look very majestic in the eyes of the people standing below.
After Li Yu finished speaking, he asked the remaining two brothers.
"Do you have anything else to add?"
Lin Hai didn't, he thought his mother had said everything.
I didn’t expect Lin He to have anything to add.
“Although our Lin family is not like other families that always bow and greet each other, remember! The master is the master and the servant is the servant.
Don’t spread family matters casually, do you understand?
Although we don't have the power or habit to beat or kill servants, we still have the ability to make it impossible for you to survive in Qingyan Town.
Do you understand? "
When Lin He said this, he was very serious, like a young master from a wealthy family.
Anyway, Li Yu thought it was quite intimidating.
"Master, I understand."
Everything has been agreed upon, and the only thing left is the contract.
This was made clear by Li Yu when he was recruiting people: he would only recruit, not buy.
"As for the timeframe, let's say three years. After three years, if you still want to work here, you can sign again. If you don't want to work here anymore, you can just leave.
But during these three years, you are not allowed to leave early.
Can you do that?
After getting the assurance from several people, Li Yu allowed Lin Hai to take out the deed and sign it.
After signing, the salary was determined.
The doorman, Old He, earns 1,200 wen a month, and Aunt Zhou earns 1,500 wen.
The remaining three people received 1,100 wen.
Finally, Li Yu introduced Lin Hai and Lin He to the others.
"This is the uncle. He is in charge of all matters at home. If you have any questions, please consult him directly. Do you understand?"
She pointed to Lin Hai next to her and said.
"Master is well."
"As for this one, he's the third son. You can just call him Third Master from now on. He's studying in a school outside the city.
As for others, we can introduce them when we meet."
"Third Master is well."
Seeing that the matter was over, Li Yu let them go home first.
“I’ll give you three days to go home and settle down, then come back after three days.
Let’s go.”
After they had all left and only mother and her two children were left, Li Yu stretched lazily.
"Let's go home. I'm so tired. Being a master is also so tiring."
