Qiao Xin was a little surprised when she saw the person Shunzi brought back.
"Bai Liu?"
"It's the servant! Long live the old lady!"
Qiao Xin remembered this little girl, who was ruthless and quiet. When Qiao Xin led her son to fight the bandits, and asked the victims to kill their enemies, it was this girl who took the lead, personally holding the dagger and stabbing the bandit leader into a bloody hole.
Of the many people rescued from the bandit's den, only this skinny little girl managed to follow him back to Laohu Town from the bandit's den on her own breath.
This girl was also very strong-willed. She used the compensation money that Qiao Xin gave her and went to the village chief to buy a small courtyard.
Later, she managed to make a living by working for her family. During this period, there were people who came to her house to talk to her about her in-laws. Even the young man who worked with her in Qiao Xin's house was interested in her, but she was rejected by everyone.
There are also those who gossip among themselves. A girl with a disfigured face is still picky. Why doesn't she take a piss and look at herself in the mirror?
Some even went so far as to ridicule him directly. But no matter what others said, Bai Liu just did what he had to do!
Just go to work and do the work. The earlier you come, the later you leave!
Qiao Xin was also annoyed by these gossipers who always made trouble for no reason, and she severely disciplined them several times, giving warnings to those who should be warned and expelling those who should be expelled. She also specifically wrote gossiping and slandering and spreading rumors as serious crimes and penalties in the Qiao family rules.
She has always believed that men are not as good at work as women, and she has been making up rumors about gender to attack them, which is the most despicable means. She has no right to control others, but when she is the head of the family, she allows everyone to look down on women like this. There is no need for her to be the head of the family!
The Qiao family has always hired people regardless of gender, it only depends on whether you are willing to work. Moreover, there are quite a few families like this in Laohu Town that only have widows and children. Every time Qiao Xin recruits people, she will deliberately reserve some places to recruit little girls, widows and old people who have lost their parents.
Although the wages may be less, as long as they work, the Qiao family will provide three meals a day, which is much more practical than paying wages. This is why women like Wang Dagui's wife Deng, whose husband is in the military service and she lives with her children and mother-in-law, are grateful to Qiao Xin.
Without Qiao Xin, the Qiao Mansion would be just another high-class noble family, too far away from ordinary people like them.
Even if they lived in a town, when a disaster struck, they would just build a porridge stall and give out a bowl of porridge to keep them alive, instead of having to reclaim land and do work like they do now.
Several wealthy families have moved to Laohu Town. They don't care about these poor people. When there is something wrong, it is the village chief Li Zhong who passes on the message. It is even more impossible for the head of the family to show up in person.
Except for the Sun family who moved in later and were slightly better, no family was like the Qiao family, who not only gave people fish but also taught them how to fish.
Bai Liu applied for the position when the Qiao family first recruited female workers. The main reason was that the girl could read!
Ninety-nine percent of Qiao Xin's first batch of employees were blind, and the one or two who could read were like treasures.
The fact that Nanny Qin had chosen her at first sight and trained her as a successor showed that this girl had real talent. She remembered that she had asked Zhang Hu to check the girl's background and found that she was indeed an orphan.
As for her past experiences, Qiao Xin had warned her two sons to keep it a secret, and she had not even mentioned it to Nanny Qin. When they met again, the girl seemed to be reborn from the ashes, and she looked more stable and profound.
But Qiao Xin knew that this was just an appearance. A person who had seen blood had a psychological quality that ordinary people could not match. Qiao Xin still had some concerns about whether to reuse this child.
Such a person, if used well, can be a great helper, but if used poorly, can be a stab in the back.
After coming to his senses, Qiao Xin couldn't help but laugh at herself, "When did I become so cautious? I really became a backstabber.
Shunzi felt a little nervous when he saw Qiao Xin called out "Bai Liu" and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Why are you here when you are not in Weizhou Prefecture helping the Madam manage the shop?"
"Madam, the eldest lady sent me to help out at the branch in the capital. It won't be too late to return once everything is back on track."
"Both Nanny Qin and Madam agree?"
"yes"
"You are willing to start all over again here!"
"Of course I am willing. I am a member of the Qiao family in life and a ghost of the Qiao family in death."
Qiao Xin looked at Shunzi in confusion. What did that mean?
"Madam, I have already sold myself to the Qiao family as a slave in Laohu Town. I hope you will take me in."
Qiao Xin was very puzzled, "Haven't we signed an employment agreement with you? Shunzi, I remember you had a 10-year current account, why did you sell yourself out? Don't you know the code of conduct of our Qiao family?"
He knew it too well, so he changed his contract. There were a dozen orphans like him and Bai Liu in the Qiao Mansion, and this decision was made after they discussed it together.
The more Shunzi traveled outside during this period, the more he saw, and the more he felt that the Qiao family was good. He was afraid that if he hesitated, he would miss the opportunity and would never have the chance again.
During this period of time, I have been traveling around and my knowledge has increased dramatically. I have met more people and heard more interesting stories.
He had seen with his own eyes how other masters treated their slaves, and had also heard of slaves who were reluctant to leave their masters and followed them to serve when their masters died, and of stewards who sent their own wives and daughters to their masters' beds...
