Chapter 85 Incident
"What's the matter? Did you make Madam angry?" Lin Mu helped Chunxia up and said.
"Boss, the boss knows that I'm selling eggs secretly." Chunxia said in a low voice.
"How would the boss know? Didn't I tell you not to do this? I told you not to lose the big picture for the small, why didn't you listen?" Lin Mu knew that Chunxia was selling eggs secretly.
But he thought it was a small matter, so he just muttered to her not to do it anymore and didn't take it to heart.
"How would I know how she knew that? It was just a few eggs. I thought the boss wouldn't notice." Chunxia said with a look of regret on her face.
"Okay, stop talking. Go inside and apologize to the boss and his wife. I hope the boss will forgive you because of my dedication." Lin Mu knew that it was too late to say anything now. The only thing he could do now was to apologize sincerely.
Lin Mu and Chunxia followed Gu Yan and Li Wanqing into the house.
In the room, Gu Yan was also asking Li Wanqing what was going on.
Li Wanqing briefly explained the matter to him.
"What? They actually sold eggs privately and put the money into their own pockets?" Gu Yan said in disbelief after hearing what Li Wanqing said.
"Well, it can be a big deal or a small one. Selling eggs for a few silver coins is not much.
But they are servants in our house, and we pay them monthly wages.
Every blade of grass and every tree on this farm belongs to us. If they sell eggs privately, it is corruption.
And I am also worried that if we don’t stop them, will they become more aggressive in the future?
After all, we don't come here often, so it's easy for them to trick us." Li Wanqing analyzed the situation one by one.
Originally, Gu Yan hadn't thought so much about it, but after Li Wanqing's analysis, he also felt that if this matter was not resolved properly, there would be big problems in the future.
"Why don't we just sell them? We're just ordinary hunters anyway, so we don't need servants.
It would also be convenient to rent out the land on the farm..."
"Boss, Madam, we know we were wrong. Please give us another chance." When Lin Mu and Chunxia came in, they heard the boss say that the house did not need servants.
Doesn't this mean he wants to sell them out? So he was so scared that he knelt down as soon as he came in.
Gu Yan really didn't want to have servants. He was a hunter in the mountains and could barely make a living before. He had never thought about having servants.
So even though he knew that Lin Mu and Chunxia were servants in the family, he was not used to ordering them to do things.
In fact, Li Wanqing was the same. In her previous life, she was just an ordinary college graduate. She never thought that she would have a day to order servants around.
"Boss, Madam, I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again." Chunxia was so scared that she kowtowed repeatedly.
"Boss, Madam, Chunxia was just confused for a moment, she will never dare to do it again.
Madam, Boss, please give me one more chance, and I promise I will do it again." Lin Mu also kowtowed.
Gu Yan had never dealt with such a thing before, so he looked at Li Wanqing and asked, "What should we do now?"
Although Li Wanqing had never experienced this, she at least had the memories of the original owner. Although the original owner had never been a master, she was a maid in front of the master.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run, and you will always be able to learn by following the example.
"Hmph, I guess my husband and I were too lenient with you, which is why you thought we were young and easy to fool.
But don't forget, no matter how young we are, we are still your boss.
What we said just now was not a lie. We really don't need servants. The reason we kept you was to give face to Manager Liu.
How about this, I'll send you to Manager Liu.
After all, you are his former servants, he should be able to make arrangements for you." Li Wanqing said in a pretentious tone.
"Madam, we are wrong. Please don't kick us out."
"Madam, I won't dare to do it again. Please forgive us."
When Lin Mu and Chunxia heard that Li Wanqing was going to send them to Manager Liu, they were so scared that they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
You must know that a servant who betrays his master will not be welcomed anywhere.
Li Wanqing stretched it out for a while, and seeing that Lin Mu and Chunxia were really scared, she said, "We have been together for a long time, and you know that my husband and I are not mean people.
Since you sincerely admit your mistakes, I can give you a chance.
But this is the only chance. If there's a next time, you won't have to go to Shopkeeper Liu and can just sell it directly."
"I won't dare to do that again, Madam. I won't dare to do that again." Chunxia cried with joy.
"Thank you, ma'am, and thank you, boss. We will work hard in the future." Lin Mu's eyes were also filled with tears of excitement.
They were almost sold again, but fortunately the owner was still willing to give them a chance.
He didn't want to experience being judged and picked over like a commodity again.
"Okay, you guys go out now. Lin Mu, check if the cowshed is ready.
"These three calves are now in your care. Find someone to tame them, and next spring we'll have livestock to use on the farm," Gu Yan instructed.
"Okay, boss, I will take good care of the calf. Don't worry." Lin Mu had some other thoughts originally, but after what happened just now, he no longer had any of them.
Chunxia kowtowed to Li Wanqing and Gu Yan again, and followed Lin Mu out.
"Oh, being a master is not that easy. Why do I feel more tired than being a servant?" After Lin Mu and his wife left, Li Wanqing immediately slumped down.
Gu Yan also laughed: "Well, I'm not used to it either. I'm just a rough guy, and this is the first time I've ordered servants around."
"Me too. Fortunately, we are not a wealthy family, otherwise we would be in trouble." Li Wanqing also said.
"It seems that life in the mountains is more suitable for me. How are we going to get back? Should we stay here for a few days before going back?" Gu Yan laughed at himself.
"Let's go back later. Everything is fine here. Do you still need to keep an eye on the frozen water?" Li Wanqing said after thinking for a while.
"You don't need me to keep an eye on it. I think it's almost finished watering. There's nothing else to do in the farm next." Gu Yan said.
"Then let's go back in the afternoon. After we go back, we won't come out unless there is a special situation." Li Wanqing said.
Since they had agreed to leave in the afternoon, Gu Yan went out and asked Lin Mu to bring all the chicken and duck eggs that he had collected in the past few days.
Li Wanqing also went out to continue picking shepherd's purse, but when she went out, Chunxia had already picked nearly half of it.
"Boss, the chicken and duck eggs from the past few days are all here. There are a total of 364 chicken eggs, 258 duck eggs, and a few goose eggs, only 89.
I used rice husks to cushion the eggs so they wouldn't break. "Lin Mu and his men brought a few baskets over.
“
"Well, let's move it up there. Take the shepherd's purse that Madam dug, and we'll go back. You can take care of things on the farm. Once the water is applied to seal the frost, there won't be much to do."
Find someone to take good care of these three calves. The wheat straw on the farm hasn't burned yet, so it's just the right time to feed the cows." Gu Yan repeated his instructions about the farm.
After everything was explained, Gu Yan helped Li Wanqing onto the carriage and prepared to go back.
However, before they walked out of the farm, they ran into Gu Xiaogu and her group coming towards them.
