The newly arrived people were stunned to hear Xu Han chatting so enthusiastically with the two of them.
Although I had heard from Granny Ma and Madam Zhou that the Madam and Master were easy to get along with and had no airs, I still couldn't quite believe it when I saw it with my own eyes. Their current state was completely different from when they came back together.
They couldn't help but doubt their own eyes, thinking to themselves, "It must be because they were too nervous when they came back with the Madam and Master that they felt the two of them were difficult to talk to."
Xu Han, seeing their surprised expressions, pretended not to notice and turned to Zhou Shi and Granny Ma, saying, "After everyone comes back, we'll divide them into rooms. We didn't prepare for bringing them back suddenly, so you can squeeze in together for now. We ordered another batch of bricks and tiles from the brick kiln today, and it should be ready to be delivered in about the next day or two."
After we've gathered most of what's in the mountains, let's hurry and build the house before it freezes.
Everyone nodded and said, "We will follow Madam's arrangements."
Xu Han continued to make arrangements, "They are all new here and are not familiar with the things in the house yet. You should all take some with you. If you need anything, just tell me. If you need anything, tell me and I will go and buy it."
Granny Ma said, "Madam, please rest assured. From now on, everyone will be a member of the Lu family. We will definitely take good care of them and try our best to teach them as soon as possible so as to share the burden with you and Master."
Xu Han lowered her voice and said seriously, "Yes, you're right. As long as you work hard, you'll have good days ahead of you. At the very least, our family won't exploit or mistreat you."
However, I am not one to tolerate injustice. If anyone tries to sabotage things behind the scenes and disrupt the current atmosphere, I will not let them off easily.
Everyone understood Xu Han's warning and nodded in agreement, indicating that they would work hard and not cause trouble.
Xu Han said this to the newcomers, telling them not to bring their petty schemes from wealthy families here.
At the same time, it was also to tell Granny Ma and the others not to take advantage of the fact that they had been there for two or three months and think they were old and bully the newcomers.
Seeing that everyone's attitude was good, Xu Han changed her tone and turned to the newcomers, saying, "I didn't have time to tell you this morning because of the time constraints. From now on, you will be paid 100 coins a month, just like them. Later, the wages will be increased appropriately based on your individual abilities. It's up to you to decide."
There are also some holiday gifts, but these gifts are not fixed and are distributed according to the situation. If the harvest is good, more will be given, and if the harvest is bad, there may be no gifts at all.
As for other things like clothes and food, you can ask them when the time comes. In short, you are all the same, there is no difference.
I won't assign you any work this afternoon. You all look so tired. Let you rest for now, and you can go into the mountains with them to pick wild produce tomorrow.
Those who had been planning to go into the mountains to pick wild produce with the next group of deliverymen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
It must be said that during this period, their master had committed a crime, and they had been sold from one place to another, constantly on the move and not getting enough rest at night. They had not yet recovered, and now that their master was showing them compassion, they would definitely be grateful.
After Xu Han finished speaking, everyone said they understood. The treatment was indeed quite good. Although the wages were much lower for Li Wen and Ju Xiang than before, they were definitely much higher for the others, and the treatment was many times better.
After all, many of these people were among the first batch that Xu Han selected. The people selected first were from similar backgrounds to Liu Erzhu and the others; they used to do heavy labor and farm work.
The only exception was the people who were finally selected. They had almost no experience with heavy or farm work, but Xu Han did not buy them back for farming. Now, however, all they could do were dirty and tiring jobs.
After explaining the purpose of her visit, Xu Han prepared to leave. Before leaving, she noticed the thin bodies of some people and said, "Grandma Ma, go to the old house and get some eggs. From now on, each of you will have an extra egg every day. Everyone has been tired lately and needs to be well nourished."
"Yes, madam, I'll go get it in a bit."
After Xu Han finished speaking, she turned and left, leaving a group of people stunned. After Xu Han had gone quite a distance, they whispered among themselves, "Our master's family is very kind. They even gave us eggs to eat because they saw that we were weak and haggard."
Zhou and Granny Ma knew that they were only able to eat eggs because of them. Although they usually had eggs, it was impossible for them to eat eggs every day.
Seeing this, Zhou smiled even more brightly and said, "Of course, our master's family is the most generous. They are not only generous but also very easy to get along with."
As long as we work hard and don't cause trouble, we can be incredibly happy for the rest of our lives.
Oh dear, you probably won't believe me if I tell you this now, but you'll understand as time goes on."
Granny Ma said, "Although our lady is easy to get along with, she is very ruthless when someone commits a crime."
Fortunately, the master and mistress are both fair in their rewards and punishments, so there's nothing to worry about. We just need to work hard.
The two of them worked together, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, which helped Xu Han establish her prestige. Of course, Xu Han, who had already returned home, was unaware of all this.
After asking some other questions about the family, everyone had a better understanding. In short, as long as they worked hard in the future, following this family would definitely be better than following other families.
The other masters here don't just refer to those heartless masters who mistreat their servants and withhold their wages, but also include some generous masters, because according to what they've heard so far, the new masters really do give a lot.
Those who were initially apprehensive were reassured after hearing this and regained their hope for the future.
When the sun set, Xu Han finally saw the Taoist priest she hadn't seen all day. She was overjoyed to hear about his day's harvest and declared that she would go up the mountain with them to pick wild produce the next day.
"Haha, you said it yourself, so don't be lazy tomorrow."
"That's definitely not the case."
As the two were talking, Grandpa Zhao came over. Seeing that they were both there, Xu Han told them about buying people that day, and no one had any objections after listening.
"Lu Chuan went hunting in the mountains. He said he would add a dish to their meal tonight so they could have a good time. Lu Chuan originally wanted us to go with him, but I refused."
