Butler Li told his wife about her requirements, and he felt that someone like Butler Jiang and Butler Wang, a married couple, would be best.
"Shuyun and the others bought another estate. How big is it, and how many people do they need?"
Third Grandfather knew that this was because Shuyun and the others were thinking of the villagers.
"The farm has more than a thousand acres of land, and my wife says she wants to build a breeding farm in the future."
Butler Li didn't say anything else; even with the closest people, you can't tell them everything.
“This estate is quite large. How many people does your wife need? I’ll go and ask.”
"Fifteen strong laborers and a few young men, that's all we need for now."
Mu Yi'an had already calculated that some of the search would be conducted in Jiangjia Village, some in nearby villages, and some would be done with his own servants, so that they would keep each other in check and prevent anyone from causing trouble.
After reading the letter, Third Grandfather understood the situation, got up, left the courtyard, and went to make arrangements.
Jiang's mother saw that they had finished discussing important matters and quickly came out.
"Butler Li, are they all alright?"
"All is well, all is well. Madam asked me to come and pick you up so you can stay for a while."
Jiang's mother wanted to go; she wanted to see Shuyun's family, to see with her own eyes that they were doing well, and that would put her mind at ease.
"Steward Li, when do you plan to return to the prefectural city?"
"The sooner the better. There's a lot going on at the estate, and we don't have enough manpower. Madam wants Xu Wu and his wife to go and look after the estate. There are still dozens of tenant farmers, and the wheat harvest is coming up soon. Time is of the essence."
Butler Li was anxious and wanted to get back as soon as possible.
"Shuheng's mother, go pack your things, let's go take a look."
Jiang's father wanted to go to the prefectural city to take a look. Fortunately, his second daughter-in-law was busy, so they could help take care of Chuyue.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Jiang's mother told Granny Xing to pack her things; she was a little excited as it was her first time traveling so far from home.
Butler Li delivered the gifts he had brought for the master's family to the main house. Sister-in-law Jiang was quite surprised, not expecting that there would be gifts for their family as well.
“Our lady said that if the master and mistress feel at ease, they can let the two young ladies go and stay for a while.”
This was what the wife instructed before Butler Li left.
"My two daughters, are you letting my second brother's wife go too?"
"Yes, Madam also invites the two young ladies over to have some fun."
Sister-in-law Jiang was overjoyed and extremely excited.
"Okay, I'll go pack their things and take them to their second uncle's house. What's there to worry about?"
Sister-in-law Jiang knew that her two daughters, whom she had raised, were somewhat lacking in social standing. She thought it would be good for them to go out and broaden their horizons.
At the Jiang family's old house, everyone was packing their belongings, while Third Grandfather was busy selecting helpers.
