Because of the addition of Dazhuang, the house was always incredibly noisy, filled with either giggling laughter or wailing cries. Behind these laughter and cries lay the miserable suffering of Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei.
It's great that someone can look after the child, so Yue Jiuyue doesn't have to take care of her grandson herself.
Taking care of the child is too exhausting. The two brothers take turns taking turns, one day at a time. Even so, they are too tired to get up on the second day and cannot do the work in the fields properly. By the third day, they have not recovered yet and have to take care of the child again, which seriously delays the progress of land reclamation.
Land is the lifeblood of farmers. If they don't cultivate the land and farm, what will they eat? What will they drink? What will their future hold? Will everyone starve?
So we still need to buy a few more people, someone to look after the children, someone to clear land and farm, and ideally someone who knows how to raise livestock and someone who knows how to grow flowers, then that would be perfect!
Of course, those with a skill would never stoop to selling themselves into slavery. Even if they did become slaves, it would be much better to work for a wealthy family! Not only could they earn more money, but they could also build a wide network of connections. Even if they couldn't use it themselves, it would still provide a good future for their descendants!
Therefore, Yue Jiuyue didn't have high hopes, and instead of taking the oxcart, she walked to the town all by herself.
"Oh my! Madam Lin is here again! I knew it! I heard magpies chattering in the trees early this morning. So it was Madam Lin coming! I wonder what kind of people you'd like to select this time? The people here were all assigned from above, and many of them are quite capable, even though their families have fallen on hard times. I wonder if you'd be interested in taking a look?"
The matchmaker's face beamed with joy. She had been ordered to do this by her superiors, and as their subordinate, she couldn't fail to do it properly. She was just worrying about it when Yue Jiuyue came to her door. Wasn't this a perfect... cough cough, perfect place to go?
Thinking that if she succeeded, she would not only receive a substantial bonus, but also gain favor with the boss and earn recognition. She figured the boss would definitely think of her when needed, and maybe she could even leave this godforsaken mountain village soon.
"Hmm? Just a family downfall? No other hidden story? If someone has committed a crime or caused trouble, my family won't take them!"
She never expected that, by sheer coincidence, there would be someone here who had a special skill, just as she had hoped. If she weren't just an ordinary farm woman, she would have been suspicious, wondering if someone was targeting her.
All that reading of classical Chinese texts wasn't for nothing!
With so many palace intrigue and family feud dramas, even if she just watches them for entertainment, she can still understand some of the thrills and excitement.
It's thrilling to watch how people risk their lives so easily, but if it happened to her, she'd probably be sold out and still be helping the seller count the money.
"No! No! It's really just that their family has fallen on hard times. I just think they are all capable, that's why I recommended them to you! If you don't like them, then you can look at others. There are no bad people around here, don't you think?"
The matchmaker, with a fawning smile, spoke so eloquently, praising not only Yue Jiuyue but also herself, calling her an absolute talent.
"Well, if there are no problems, then let's take a look."
The brokerage firm is in this business, and they wouldn't contradict themselves and ruin their reputation. Since Yue Jiuyue needed it, they hit it off immediately.
