Crossing the Unknown Country

She noticed that Wang Dashan called Su He's father master instead of master, which meant that this master did not treat them as slaves. Su He's father also asked her to call him master instead of master and madam, as it was not a habit in their family.

Wang Dashan wore new clothes and spoke freely, speaking to his master normally. He was not like the servants in their previous mansion, who were always cautious and dared not speak loudly when they saw their masters.

When they returned to their home in the village, they saw the hostess and the young lady in the house, who were also very kind people. They knew that she would not be sold again this time. As long as she worked honestly, she could live a good life in this family.

She was also arranged to live in the second courtyard. Originally, she was supposed to live in the third courtyard, but later it was felt that she was not safe alone, so she lived in the second courtyard first! If I buy another woman next time, I will let them live in the third courtyard, so that the men have one courtyard and the women have another courtyard, which is convenient for everyone.

Su He knew that they would buy more people in the future, because this time when Su He's father went to Fumanlou, Manager Wu asked them to send more next time, and now the demand from restaurants in other places is also not small.

Su He's father thought about waiting for Wang Xiaohu to come and see the quantity he had. If the quantity was still not small, he would buy two more people. Anyway, his third courtyard was still empty, so it would be good to use it all.

Su He thought that this business was good for his family now. He didn't have to worry about sales. He could sell as much as he produced. It was not dangerous and would not attract other people's attention. It was good to make a fortune quietly.

Since An Pozi came, Su He's father no longer allowed Su He's grandmother and grandfather to cook. They just ate here. Except for going back to sleep, they basically stayed here all day. In addition to cooking, An Pozi just cleaned the yards on both sides and fed the chickens.

This job is not tiring at all, and the meals are not complicated. Su He often teaches her new meals, and she is happy to learn new dishes. The family has the same meals, regardless of the master and servant, which makes her very happy. Who doesn't want to be treated as a normal person, and who wants to be treated as a slave.

After this, Grandma Su He asked everyone to call her "Auntie An". In the village, middle-aged women were either called "Auntie" or "Mother of So-and-So". She was afraid that she would be upset, so she just called her "Auntie An". She was not very old, so there was no need to call her "Mother An". That sounded strange.

Mrs. An burst into tears at that moment. This name was not meant for servants. Wang Dashan now called him Dashan, and the young lady called him Uncle Dashan. Liu Meng now called him Mengzi, and Su He called him Brother Mengzi. The three of them were very happy. The master did not change their names, but let them keep their original names. They were very grateful for this.

They were all honorifics, given the minimum respect, and allowed to live like human beings. They all secretly agreed that as long as the master did not sell them, they would follow the master wholeheartedly.

The Su He family had no other ideas. Since they had bought the family, they would treat them well. They would work hard together, earn more money, and pay them some wages every month, so that they could settle down here in the future.

Except for the indentures that could not be returned to them, they were no different from the locals. They did not think of reselling them in the future, as long as they worked hard, they would treat them like their own family.

Su He's brothers finally waited until the academy was on vacation, and they followed Uncle Su He back home. When they saw three strange people at home, they were all wondering what was going on.

Later, I heard from Su He's grandmother: "This is the servant that Su He's father bought from the city. Now that the family's noodle business has grown, we can't do without more people."

Su Feng and Su Run were so happy. How could they not be happy when their family had such a big business? They no longer had to worry about the sales of noodles. They would make a lot of money in the future. Who wouldn't be happy?

Su He's father told his brother his idea again: "They don't want to share the business in the town, just give us the capital."

Initially, Su He's father didn't want the capital, but later Su He said, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. What you gave is what you gave. You have to pay back what you owe. Otherwise, your uncle and aunt will feel uneasy."

Su He was right. Uncle Su He would not agree no matter what. This store could basically be said to be opened with the help of Su He's family. All the recipes were theirs, and the capital was basically provided by them. They would feel bad if they did not want any share.

This is what good brothers are like. They never feel that they are at a disadvantage, but always feel that the other party is at a disadvantage. How can they not get along well?
