"There are also these lands, where we will grow grains, vegetables, and even medicinal herbs in the future. My name is Sang Jin, and I'm the youngest daughter of the Sang family. You can call me Miss or Miss Sang." Sang Jin gave a brief introduction as she walked.
"Miss!" the servants shouted in unison.
Sang Yu trembled as she followed Sang Jin, not daring to speak. So many servants! I wonder why my younger sister bought so many. Their family can't afford so many. Oh no, oh no, I'm going to get scolded.
Li Jingyu did not return to his own residences until he and Mu Yan sent Sang Jin and the others back to the Sang family.
"Grandpa, grandma! Come out quickly. Dad, mom, come quickly." Sang Jin started calling people before she even entered the door.
When the Sang family heard it was their little lucky star, they rushed out. The child was calling them so anxiously, what had happened? Who dared to bully their child? Even Sang Huo and his wife popped their heads out to see when they heard Sang Jin's voice.
What was going on? Why were there a bunch of people in tattered clothes at their door? Were they beggars? They were blocking their little lucky star's way home.
"Stop right there and let my granddaughter go." Old Mrs. Zhuang shouted at the servants while holding a broom.
The servants were so timid that they dared not even breathe.
"This is my grandma, don't be afraid." Sang Jin explained, "Grandma, I bought these people. I also picked two people to serve you. Don't worry, my mother will pay the monthly salary."
What the hell? I have to pay for so many servants? Zi Shufen reacted: "Mom, this is all Xiaojin and I have discussed. You and Dad worked hard to raise the child's father and his second uncle. Now our eldest wife has become prosperous thanks to Xiaojin. I will provide for you and Dad in your old age."
"That's right, grandma. This cook helps you cook and grow vegetables. This maid helps you wash clothes and you can order her around from time to time." Sang Jin said quickly.
"So, I can live the life of a rich lady in the future?" After realizing what was happening, Mrs. Zhuang felt that happiness had come too suddenly. How could she suddenly be able to order people around?
"Yes, grandma. This was bought by your son and daughter-in-law specifically to serve you." Sang Jin emphasized again.
"Okay, it doesn't cost me anything. Of course I won't do it. My wife and granddaughter are giving it to me as a gift, so I have to accept it." Old Mrs. Zhuang's face was filled with joy. How could she not know? How could her stupid son be so thoughtful? These were all bought for her by little Sang Jin.
Shouldn't grandma scold my younger sister first and then send the servants back? Why is it different from what he expected? Sang Yu touched the back of his head. His brain was not enough.
Old Mrs. Zhuang sent the servants away and happily returned to the house with Old Man Sang.
"Uncle, aunt, I'll leave a maid and a servant for your family. They can also help you with cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc. You can arrange everything yourself. If you need to go out in the future, you don't have to worry about Sister Jiang Ling and the other two children being alone at home." Sang Jin didn't mention that she would also support these two servants. Her family gave them to the grandfather and grandmother as a filial piety. She didn't care about the uncle and aunt's family.
When we divided the property yesterday, we gave them a lot of things and money. It's enough to support two servants. Besides, they still need to make money in the future. It all depends on how they want to live.
"Thank you, Xiaojin. Second aunt has also accepted it. It is much more convenient to have two people to serve at home." Fang also accepted the servant with a smile.
I heard that buying two such skillful maids and servants would cost more than ten or twenty taels of silver. My niece has already given her servants to enjoy, so how could she refuse such a good life for her family?
We still have four hundred taels of silver left at home. It's no problem supporting two people. Besides, we need them to work together.
"Hehe...then Second Aunt will have to raise the child herself. My eldest niece won't be in charge."
"That's as it should be, as it should be."
Sang Huo also brought his wife into the house.
"Everyone else, follow me into this courtyard. We are the eldest branch of the Sang family. This is my mother, who will be your mistress from now on. This is my father. This is my brother, and the one in my mother's arms is my younger brother." Sang Jin introduced the family members to the servants in detail.
"Hello, sir, madam, eldest young master, young master. Hello, young lady." The servants were also very sensible and changed their words immediately.
"Mom, this is our family's cook, Wu Xiaocui. From now on, you will be responsible for our family's three meals a day. This maid will be called Yueya from now on, and she will follow me and be my personal maid. This Liu Po will follow my mother. She can help take care of the little brother in the family. There are two servants left, big brother, and dad. You can choose for yourselves." Sang Jin quickly arranged the work of the servants in the house.
"Yes, Miss." They could see that the eldest daughter held a very important position in this family.
"Mom, you have to learn how to manage the household and the accounts. Learn reading and arithmetic from Master Mu. Leave the childcare to Mrs. Liu." Sang Jin turned and whispered to Zi Shufen. She was truly worried about this little family.
"Okay, mom knows. Our Xiaojin is awesome. From now on, you can focus on your cultivation. Don't worry about the things at home. Mom will take care of everything." Zi Shufen was not just talking. At the age of 29, this was the first time she learned to be a housekeeper.
But she couldn't let her daughter down. Her teacher had educated her so well. She had to work hard too.
The Sang family has five bedrooms, excluding the toilet and kitchen. Originally, they'd reserved one for a study. But with the sudden addition of five people, they're all used for living. Once things settle down, we'll find someone to build a new house.
In early October, Shengdan Village was bustling with activity. People could be seen everywhere, clearing land, planting vegetables, and repairing houses. On sunny days, children sat outdoors studying.
The Sang family was no exception, finding a vacant lot not far from the street and constructing three separate courtyards. With the help of the village's cultivators, the Sang family's courtyards were built quickly. The village was in no short supply of labor.
As for the people in Shengdan Village, when they were fleeing famine, everyone owed the Sang family tens of thousands of kilograms of grain. So everyone helped the Sang family repair the wooden house for free.
After two weeks of cleaning up by the villagers, the streets of Shengdan Village no longer looked the same as they had in the past. Instead, they were clean and tidy stone pavements. The vast expanses of half-human-high weeds had been replaced by vegetable and wheat fields.
