Chapter 492 Asking
Grandma Wang had no time to care what the villagers thought.

When I got back, I saw that the yard was full of all kinds of meat hanging there.

It almost left Old Mrs. Wang with nowhere to step.

The two rickshaw pullers were named Changfu and Changshun by the old lady Wang.

Changfu and Changshun watched helplessly as their master made them drive a cart from the city to the town, and then from the town to the village.

The road became increasingly remote, and their hearts grew colder and colder.

Although I knew that the owners who bought them were farmers, I already knew this from their daily conversations.

But I never expected it to be such a poor and backward place.

There wasn't even a post station nearby, and from a distance, there wasn't a single large house to be seen.

The roads in the village were flat, but they weren't paved with stone slabs.

It's just a completely run-down village.

What made them most desperate was that Wang Chuanfu told them that his family didn't have a horse-drawn carriage, only a donkey cart and a mule cart.

After that, the two of them drove a donkey cart and a mule cart.

Both of them sighed.

They already eat a lot, and if they go to the village, the host family is already poor and destitute, so how can they spare an extra bite of food for them?

They're probably going to starve to death in just a few days.

But now, as the two of them entered the host's house, they found that their yard was full of meat, and their joy was beyond words.

With so much meat, it seems the owners aren't a poor family.

I'm relieved.

They won't starve to death.

Grandma Wang bypassed the meat and had Changfu and Changshun take everything out of the carriage.

The Wang family members were also curious about the two new servants.

Aside from Tangyuan, this was the first time their family had actually hired servants.

But no matter how you look at it, these two servants are quite decent-looking and don't seem like they'd be slaves.

Changfu smiled and said, "I used to be a manager on the estate, but the master family declined, so I went to a new manor and worked as a groom for two years. When the new manor fell into ruin, I came here." Changshun was in a similar situation; both of them were capable in some way.

They eat a lot, so their bodies are weaker compared to those who actually do manual labor.

During the process of being sold, they fell seriously ill and developed some health problems, which is why they were unable to be sold.

The two told Grandma Wang about the situation, and Grandma Wang used this as an excuse to lower the price, which is why they were able to buy it so cheaply.

Otherwise, one who can manage the estate and another who can control the subordinates shouldn't be bought for two taels of silver.

Grandma Wang planned to observe the two men and, if they proved to be truly loyal in the future, she would keep them at home for a while.

Let the children practice and learn to manage things.

As for the manpower to be given to Ayu, we need to start looking for it.

Since she wanted to marry that boy from the Qin family, she also wanted to cultivate her own people in the future, since the Qin family was a prominent family in Dachang.

In Wanning City, only members of the royal family dared to use the surname Qin.

Marrying up too much is not good for a daughter, unless the Wang family is established before Ayu marries Qin Huai.

At least it must be established high enough so that Qin Huai will not dare to let it down in the future.

At this time, Old Mrs. Wang kept these plans to herself and did not tell anyone.

When Xiao Ayu saw that Grandma Wang had returned, she was overjoyed and kept circling around Grandma Wang, checking if Grandma Wang had lost weight.

"Alright, go and see what Grandma bought for you." Grandma Wang smiled, pulled Xiao Ayu aside, and led her into the house.

The rest of the Wang family quickly packed their things.

Of the two new servants who came to the household, Wang Dalang was the one who accepted them the best.

Wang Dalang heard that Changfu used to be a manager, so he went to ask Changfu for advice: "Uncle Fu, you used to be a manager, there is something I would like to ask you."

Changfu quickly said, "Young Master Sun, you flatter me. Please just tell me what you need."

Wang Dalang said, "I just want to ask you, if an ordinary farmer marries the daughter of the registrar's family, are there any things to be aware of?"

Wang Dalang had kept these words to himself for a long time.
