Liu Dahua wanted to abide by her duty, and Yue Jiuyue naturally wouldn't refuse, even if she felt uncomfortable doing so.
However, in this era, one must abide by the rules of this era. Yue Jiuyue never intended to be unconventional. If Lin Chaodong hadn't offended her with his inappropriate words, she wouldn't have said that she wouldn't serve Liu Shi during her postpartum period. After all, her main purpose in going out to buy people was to serve Liu Shi during her postpartum period.
After lunch, Yue Jiuyue arranged for Liu Dahua to tidy up the room, and then let them boil water to take a bath and change their clothes. She then made three sets of clothes from the two bolts of linen she had bought, one set for each of the mother and her two children.
The linen is a dirt-resistant blue color, and villagers generally wear clothes of this color, regardless of age or gender.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Xiaoman'er has been wearing brightly colored clothes in the past two years, but that is relative to most of the girls in the village.
Today, Yue Jiuyue deliberately ignored the four people behind her, wanting to see what other outrageous things that son of a bitch Lin Chaodong could do.
Of course, if they all behave themselves and don't cause any more trouble, Liu Dahua will go to take care of Liu Shi first thing tomorrow morning.
Having traveled so far, and now that she was well-fed and watered, and with everything arranged for Liu and her two children, she naturally wanted to get a good night's sleep.
Yue Jiuyue slept very soundly. She was only awakened because the kang (heated brick bed) beneath her was getting hotter and hotter, which scalded her awake.
"My son, your mother is almost scalded to death!"
Yue Jiuyue yawned and said to the two brothers who were cooking over a fire.
"hey-hey!"
Lin Chaobei, who was tending the fire, grinned foolishly. His grin made Yue Jiuyue think that he was doing it on purpose, even though she had no proof.
"Mom, what do those three people in our family do? My eldest brother said they're relatives who come to our house to freeload. Do we have such relatives? I've never seen them before, and I've never heard you mention them."
Lin Chaobei spoke in a whisper, as if afraid that the mother and her two children would hear him.
"No, I bought them from the brokerage to work with. Your sister-in-law is in her postpartum period, and I don't know how to take care of her, and your brother doesn't want to either. We were short of people to work at home, so I bought them, mother and three."
You can just call that old woman Aunt Liu. She's had a tough life; her husband died, and a couple of years ago there was a lot of trouble, so her mother-in-law sold her and her two children. They seem like a very honest family, so I was thinking of having her take care of your sister-in-law during her postpartum period. The two little ones can come along and help with the housework. Do you want them? That would be perfect for each of your three brothers.”
She wanted to treat everyone fairly, although she hadn't thought of this when she bought the people, and this suggestion was just a sudden inspiration.
"Sure, even if you can't do heavy work, you can help move stones or deliver meals. Third Brother, which one do you want? The big one or the small one?"
Lin Chaobei accepted it well, without any of the struggles Yue Jiuyue had. In fact, he was quite eager to try being a master for the first time and having servants in his household.
"Anything is fine, either one is fine."
Lin Chaonan had never been a master before and didn't know what it felt like to be served, so he was curious.
"I'm young, so I'll take the bigger one. At least I can help with some work."
Lin Chaobei made his choice with a smile.
