I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

"Don't worry about that. The restaurant will have one day off every ten days, and there are three days off a month. You can choose to take these three days off and spend some quality time with your family."

"If your home is not far away, you don't have to eat and stay in the restaurant. The restaurant will give you an extra 100 taels of silver."

"I just don't know where your home is?"

Du Wanbai suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Shu and Mu Jinghua: "You two nobles are so kind and generous. Wanbai has no way to repay you."

As soon as he knelt, the people who were still in the hall immediately knelt down with him, saying in unison: "Your Excellency, your kindness is so great, and I have no way to repay you."

Xu Shu sighed and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, get up. I can't repay you for anything. If you plan to stay in the future, just work hard for the building."

Du Wanbai stood up first, crying and laughing at the same time: "You are right, doing our best for you is our way of repaying you."

Xu Shu didn't say much, just urged him to change the incense quickly.

Du Wanbai responded and said, "I live in Shiqiao Village. My family was poor, so my parents sold me to a human trafficker, saying that I would be a maid in a wealthy family, but I didn't expect that I would be thrown into Yichun Tower."

"Shiqiao Village?" Xu Shu was surprised. "What a coincidence. I am also from Shiqiao Village."

Du Wanbai didn't believe it: "Sir, you have such a good temperament. If you said you were from Qingshui Town, we wouldn't believe it. Why did you say you were from Shiqiao Village?"

Mu Jinghua suddenly grabbed at the void, as if he wanted to say something.

Xu Shu held his hand and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Mu Jinghua asked, "Is he Xiaocao's brother?"

Xu Shu was also stunned, remembering that the Du family once said that one of their brothers was sold to a brothel by human traffickers. Could it be Du Wanbai?

He looked at Du Wanbai again. He saw that he did look a bit like Du Xiaocao. "Do you have a younger brother named Du Xiaocao?"

Du Wanbai didn't understand what Mu Jinghua said. She was confused when Xu Shu asked her out of the blue. She was shocked: "How did you know that?"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Don't disbelieve me, I'm from Shiqiao Village. The Du family and I are neighbors."

Du Wanbai burst into tears: "I have been here for seven years. I haven't seen my parents and children for seven years. I didn't know that my family has changed so much."

Xu Shu couldn't bear to see people crying, and felt a little helpless.

Fortunately, Mu Jinghua reacted quickly, handed a handkerchief to Du Wanbai, and held Du Wanbai's hand to comfort her.

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and Mu Jinghua also breathed a sigh of relief.

He naturally remembered that Xu Shu couldn't stand seeing people cry, and was afraid that Xu Shu would use the same trick he used to coax him to coax Du Wanbai, otherwise he would be depressed to death.

Mu Jinghua took Du Wanbai's hand and wrote something on his palm. Du Wanbai burst into laughter and said, "Really?"

Mu Jinghua nodded, and Du Wanbai couldn't help but sigh: "When I came here, I also blamed my parents, but as time went by, everything faded. It's hard for them to still remember me..."

Mu Jinghua held his hand and wrote something again, and Du Wanbai smiled: "This world is not really that big, and there are coincidences everywhere."

"Ah, this incense is out, I'll go light another one."

While Du Wanbai was lighting incense, Xu Shu pulled Mu Jinghua over and asked, "What did you say to him? How come he stopped crying after just one sentence?"

Mu Jinghua was reluctant to tell Xu Shu, and asked back: "Are you happy if he doesn't cry?"

Xu Shu was confused by the question: "What do you mean I'm happy? What does it have to do with me whether he cries or not?"

"You didn't want to coax him?" Mu Jinghua didn't believe it. Xu Shu was right next to him just now. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could clearly feel the helplessness of Xu Shu.

Xu Shu sighed, not realizing the jealousy in Mu Jinghua's words, and just said the truth: "How can I coax people? I'm not as good as our little Mu Jin."

Mu Jinghua pursed his lips, not very happy.

Xu Shu pinched his face, puzzled: "Why are you pouting? Are you unhappy? Are you missing home too?"

Mu Jinghua pouted again and slapped Xu Shu's hand away: "Didn't you ask me to study medicine with Qi Huairen and not allow me to go home?"

Xu Shu was speechless. He realized that he was being rude and subconsciously treated Mu Jinghua like a child.

Mu Jinghua didn't hear his reply, but he knew that Xu Shu was reluctant to go back with him and wanted to avoid him.

He was not the kind of person who made unreasonable demands, and he knew that Xu Shu let him stay with Qi Huairen to study medicine for his own good, but Xu Shu's attitude still made him feel aggrieved.

If you don't like him, just say you don't like him.

Like now, I have to be nice to him, but also avoid him, I have to give him hope, but also make him despair. Am I really trying to tease him?

Seeing that Mu Jinghua didn't react, Xu Shu realized that he had gone too far. He coughed lightly and wanted to explain things to Mu Jinghua again.

But Du Wanbai said, "Mr. Xu, the three incense sticks time is up."

Xu Shu had to swallow what he was about to say for the time being. Seeing that the young man was depressed, he instinctively wanted to comfort him. He raised his hand, but then put it down.

After all, they are different.

Xu Shu first asked who could read and keep accounts. Unexpectedly, half of the people could read. He then pointed to the three people in the front row and distributed the accounts on a first-come, first-served basis.

Then he read out the names one by one from the roster. Everyone whose name was called came forward to pay the money. After paying, they took away their indentures and had their names registered in the roster.

Following this method, Xu Shu also had a simple understanding of his employees.

After all the names were read out and counted, we found that everyone in Yichun Tower had made the same choice.

People like them have long given up hope of living a peaceful life like ordinary families. Even if there are still people at home who can be contacted, it is impossible for them to return home to get married.

The best choice is naturally to stay in Yichun Building, no, now it is renamed Muyi Building. The best choice is naturally to stay in Muyi Building and work for the master.

Even if what Mr. Xu said was all lies, they could still get their indentures, right? No matter what, it wouldn't be worse than before.

So out of more than 800 people, except for a few who lived far away and had concerns, a total of 820 people chose to stay in Muyi Building.

Xu Shu was naturally happy, after all, they were all laborers. However, too many people stayed, which gave him a headache.

First, we had to count the money that everyone had handed in. There was about 12,000 taels of silver, as well as some jewelry and jade used as collateral, which filled three large boxes.

Xu Shu planned to use this money as the start-up capital for the restaurant, and to pay for the restaurant's decoration, layout, staff training, accommodation, etc.

Everyone was very excited. They held their indentures, looked at them over and over again, touched them over and over again, and cried and laughed.

Xu Shu knew that if he talked about serious matters now, people might not listen, so he simply told them his plan, and then asked everyone to pack up their things in the next two days and move to the new place the day after tomorrow morning.

This made everyone even more excited. No matter how good the environment in this building was, it was still a brothel and the place they hated the most in their lives. Who wouldn't be happy to move out?

Seeing that they were all happy, Xu Shu did not spoil their fun and pulled Mu Jinghua away from Muyi Building.

As soon as they went out, Xu Shu dragged Mu Jinghua to a corner and looked at him seriously: "Are you still angry?"
