Yang Youxue asked the owner of the pawnshop to release the people she had chosen. There were twelve people in total. After observing them again, Yang Youxue decided to buy all twelve.
Except for three boys who were paid one hundred taels each, the other nine were paid fifty taels each, even the sick boy who was favored by Yang Qingyao was paid fifty taels each.
Bringing the people he bought into the pawnshop's hall, he saw Old Man Yang, Yang Zhongyi, and Yang Qingyao sitting there restlessly, looking around.
"Grandpa, Dad, and second sister, these people will be ours from now on." Yang Youxue said to Old Man Yang, Yang Zhongyi, and Yang Qingyao.
"Youxue, why buy so many people?" Yang Zhongyi looked at the twelve men and asked Yang Youxue in shock.
"Dad, not many. They are all here to protect our safety. One for each person, so I feel at ease." Yang Youxue explained to Yang Zhongyi.
"That's right. My Youxue did the right thing. Don't be like your father, who is so unfashionable. That boss doesn't want a bodyguard." Old man Yang scolded his son with a look of disappointment.
"Dad, I'm teaching you a lesson. I will definitely change. Youxue, please remind me more often in the future." Yang Zhongyi saw his father scolding him and he was scolded without saying a word.
"Okay, Dad, let's buy the other people quickly. We'll be going back soon." Yang Youxue looked outside. It was already past noon, so they had to hurry up and get things done.
The people in the hall were shocked by the way the Yang family interacted with each other. Their old master and the master listened to the young lady very much and doted on her. Isn't it said that women are money-losing goods? Why didn't the Yang family have this concept?
"Boss, we also want to buy some cooks, one or two servants, some embroiderers and some maids." Yang Zhongyi said to the boss of the pawnshop.
"Okay, I'll have someone bring someone over and you can choose." When the owner of the pawnshop heard that they needed to buy more people, he happily asked Gao Yazi to arrange it.
Soon, Gao Yazi brought more than a hundred people, including all kinds of people. These were all of Gao Yazi's people.
"Grandpa, go pick some skilled farmers. They can discuss some experiences with you, and the family's fields will be handed over to you. Dad, go pick a manager, preferably someone who knows how to do business, so you don't have to work so hard," Yang Youxue gave advice to grandpa and dad.
"Okay, we'll listen to Youxue." The two began to look for suitable people in the crowd.
"Miss, can you buy my family as well? Don't worry, I will work twice as hard." said one of the three boys.
"What's your name? I have to see your character before I can decide." Yang Youxue said.
"My name is Zhang Zeren, his name is Zhang Zeyi, and the other one is Zhang Zeli. We are brothers from the same sect. My father is the leader of the Qingfeng Sect. Because he accidentally offended the so-called famous and upright sects, they wiped out our sect. Only the three of us brothers and some old people and children are left. Miss, please buy them and give them a home. I, Zhang Zeren, will always remember your great kindness. I kneel down to you." Zhang Zeren knelt down to Yang Youxue.
"Brother Zhang, please stand up quickly. Ask them to come out. After I've seen them, I think they have good character, so I'll buy them." Yang Youxue hated moral kidnapping and being threatened. Since they had no ill intentions, she would not bother with him this time. If there were people with bad character in his family who insisted on buying them, then she would be embarrassed. She would not even buy them. Keeping such people around would only cause trouble for herself.
"Miss, please buy our families as well?" Six other men also knelt down and begged Yang Youxue to buy their relatives.
"I'm telling you, since I bought you, you're my servants and have no right to ask the master to buy anyone else. Since this is your first offense, I'll let it go this time.
Also, let me emphasize that I hate threats and moral kidnapping the most. I hope this is the last time. If you do it again, I will sell you out.
Since you are a servant, you must do your duties as a servant.
"Have all your family members come forward. If they are good people with clean hands and feet, I will buy them. If they don't meet my requirements, I hope you won't ask me to buy them again, otherwise I won't buy you either. Is that clear?" Yang Youxue sternly scolded the servants she had bought.
"Miss, we understand." The six men hurried to find their families.
Soon, there were thirty people standing in front of Yang Youxue, two of whom were chosen by Old Man Yang.
Looking carefully into their eyes, there was no flickering, only honesty.
Of the thirty people, nine were Zhang Zeren, three old women, two little girls, and four little boys, all between the ages of three and six. Of the remaining twenty-one, there were three elderly people, ten middle-aged people, three of whom were couples, and the rest were children.
Among these children, Yang Youxue found three little girls to be personal maids for her third and fourth sisters, and one was for Qingyi.
Yang Youxue found a smart and capable personal maid for her eldest sister, and Qingyao found a little girl of the same age as her. Yang Youxue also thought she was okay after seeing her.
Yang Zhongyi hired a steward who had worked for a wealthy family. However, because his wife was ill, the family sold his family, and Yang Youxue also bought his family. Old Yang found six middle-aged and older skilled farmers.
