Chapter 914 A total of nineteen servants
"Did she make things difficult for you?" Shu Yu asked, frowning.
Ding Yuehua said, "She's alright in front of me, at most she'll say a few sarcastic things, but she doesn't dare to really break off relations. What disgusts me is that she deliberately stirs up trouble behind my back. It's one thing to spread rumors in front of my mother-in-law, but she even goes so far as to talk about it to my husband. My mother-in-law never liked me running around outside, and now she dislikes me even more."
"But I remember, wasn't it the confident and spirited way you looked when you were doing business that made Young Master Fan take a liking to you?"
Ding Yuehua straightened her back slightly, a hint of pride in her voice. "Isn't that right? That's why I told him to talk to his mother himself. But instead of telling her I was doing business outside, she started pressuring me to have a baby again."
Shu Yu was speechless for a moment. No wonder she didn't like staying at home. She came out to see her yesterday and accompanied her to buy servants today.
It was only because Ding Yuehua's family was powerful and the Third Young Master Fan was on her side that she could have faced difficulties in her husband's family.
"Anyway, my sister-in-law just sold Hua Xian a few days ago, which made my brother unhappy. He's trying to repair their relationship."
Ding Yuehua's tone was somewhat gloating; it was only in front of Shu Yu that she could vent so freely.
After all, it's a family matter. I'm afraid that if I tell my mother, she'll worry, and if I tell outsiders, I'll just be laughed at.
Only when she was with Ayu did she have no reservations.
However, she was reluctant to dwell on the unpleasant things at home and quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about them anymore. I have some new porcelain pieces fired at home. The designs are different from before, and they look quite beautiful. I'll save them for you. When your mansion is renovated, I'll move them all to your house to congratulate you."
The Fan family deals in porcelain, and the third young master of the Fan family can make decisions on this matter.
Shu Yu did not refuse, and as the two talked, the carriage arrived at the official residence.
There were more people in the official yamen, and Shu Yu actually found a girl who knew martial arts there.
This girl is a year younger than me, but she's quite skilled.
However, she was with her brother, so they had to buy both together. That was fine, since the girl's brother was even more skilled than her.
It is said that the two siblings grew up in a security escort agency. Later, the agency ran into trouble and became embroiled in a lawsuit. Their parents died in prison, and the two siblings were sold into slavery.
The elder brother's name is Ying Dong, and the younger sister's name is Ying Xi.
After the two families settled on a deal, Shu Yu set her sights on two more families. One family, surnamed Zhong, consisted of an elderly man over fifty years old, with two sons, two daughters-in-law, two granddaughters (one sixteen, the other nine), and a grandson aged thirteen. The family of eight was quite large.
There was another family surnamed Lin, consisting of four people: a woman with her son, daughter-in-law, and eight-year-old grandson.
Shu Yu counted them, and including Hua Xian and the others, there were a total of nineteen servants.
Nineteen, a few more than Shu Yu had expected.
However, this did provide a companion for both Da Hu and San Ya.
Once all the people had been found, Shu Yu stopped going to other brokerage firms and instead had them sent to Fenghuai Street.
Official brokers usually don't help with deliveries, but since Shu Yu is now the village head, they naturally agreed without hesitation.
Now that the house has been purchased, and the occupants will be staying there tonight, some daily necessities naturally need to be purchased as well.
Since Ding Yuehua was alright, she accompanied her to buy clothes and bedding. The Ying siblings also went along, asking them to lend a hand.
