Manager Lin didn't dare to say anything more and could only give up his seat.

Li Mingxia looked at him and left the dental clinic with his men.

Shen Xing and Shen Lu were tense until they got on the carriage and finally felt relaxed. Then they found their palms were full of cold sweat.

He was really afraid that Li Mingxia had been persuaded by Manager Lin. If his sister returned to the pawnshop, the consequences would be disastrous. They would probably never see each other again in this life.

"Take this money and take these people to buy some clothes, two sets of clothes for each person, a quilt, two pairs of shoes, and a set of toiletries. You can buy whatever else you need." Li Mingxia took out a twenty-liang silver note and gave it to Shen Xing, saying softly.

This is inevitable. The purpose of buying people is to buy them new clothes. Of course, there are also masters who don't care about their servants, but they are extremely unkind. Even if the servants dare not say anything, they will feel resentful in their hearts.

Li Mingxia bought them back because he wanted to have more assistants he could trust, so he naturally wouldn't care about the small amount of money.

Shen Xing took the money and looked at his sister, not knowing whether he should take her with him or leave her in the carriage.

Li Mingxia wouldn't care about such things. Whether he stayed or went with Shen Xing, he didn't need to worry about anything.

In the end, Shen Lu decided to go with her brother, but she covered her face with a veil, which made her relax a little and not so scared.

The carriage fell silent again. Zhang suddenly slapped her head and said, "We bought so many people. Where will they live?"

Li Mingxia was stunned, "Didn't I tell you?"

This time it was everyone's turn to be stunned. Li Mingxia realized from everyone's reactions that he was too busy and forgot to mention this matter.

"I bought the two small courtyards next to ours and will rebuild them in the summer. It won't cost much anyway," said Li Mingxia.

"Have you bought them all?"

"Re-flip the lid?!"

Li Zhengde and Zhang said in unison, you look at me, I look at you, and we are all a little unable to react.

Li Mingxia nodded. "Yes, I was too busy and forgot about it. Didn't you know I bought the yard? Then why didn't you stop me when I bought the servants?"

Li Mingxia looked at Zhang and Li Zhengde with some surprise.

What else could it be? It must be because everyone had forgotten about it and hadn't reacted! Who would have thought that Li Mingxia would buy the yard without making any noise and even make plans for the future.

Zhang was also surprised, but she was more worried about something else.

"You have to buy a shop after the New Year, and now you have bought so many servants. Then you have to build a house. How much will this cost? Do we have enough money?" Zhang said to Li Mingxia when she saw that there was no outsider in the carriage.

Li Mingxia blinked, "Don't worry, Mom, I've already saved this money, it's enough."

Although she forgot to tell her family about this, she had already made up her mind that the money she earned these days was enough.

"It sounds like building a house is a huge expense, but in fact, if you do the math, it's not that much money. It's much cheaper than buying a shop," said Li Mingxia.

She had calculated carefully that even if the house was built entirely with blue bricks and furnished with brand new furniture, five hundred taels of silver would be enough. The only problem was that she couldn't use particularly good wood.

Not to mention that the money in her hand was enough, it was not enough. By the beginning of spring, all her businesses would reopen, including the business at the dock, the business in the workshop, and the food shop business that she had already started preparing. Not to mention one or two months, she was sure that she could make back the money in less than half a month.

After she no longer had this worry, Zhang was once again immersed in the joy of having bought new servants and properties.

"I know those two houses. They are not smaller than the old one and are also close to ours. If we include them all when we build our own house, my God, I can't even imagine how big the place will be." Zhang said happily.

The happiest thing for the older generation is building houses and buying land. Li Mingxia fully understands Zhang's feelings.

Seeing his old mother so happy, Li Mingxia felt a little guilty, wondering how he could be so busy that he forgot such an important thing. Next time he must tell his mother as soon as possible!

"By then, I will have to worry about everything at home. As for these people, you can just tell them to do their work. They were bought by our family, so don't be embarrassed to use them, otherwise our money will be wasted." Li Mingxia said to Zhang.

They know their own family members well. Zhang is the most thin-skinned person who is embarrassed to say harsh words. But one thing is for sure. Li Mingxia bought the person back just to make his family's life easier. If he is just left there without being used, then there is no point in buying him. After all, every family needs a master, right?

Zhang naturally knew what her daughter meant, and nodded immediately, "Don't worry, my daughter, I know what to do. I will definitely let them do whatever they are supposed to do."

Li Mingxia felt relieved after hearing what Zhang said, "If there is a disobedient mother, just tell me directly."

Li Mingxia had his own plans for instructing Zhang like this. These people might not reveal anything when they were working with him on a daily basis. After all, each of them was more cunning than the other. They must have figured out that he was the one in charge of the money at the pawnshop just now. So their attitude when facing him and doing things for him could not explain everything. If they treated him and Zhang with the same seriousness, responsibility, honesty and obedience, then Li Mingxia would definitely not treat them unfairly. But if there was the kind of person who said one thing in front of him and another behind his back, then he had to deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise trouble would definitely happen in the future.

"Mom, this matter is very important. I can't keep an eye on it for everyone, so you have to help me keep an eye on it." Li Mingxia was worried that Zhang wouldn't take it seriously, so he emphasized it again.

When Zhang saw that her daughter took this matter so seriously, she nodded quickly to show that she had remembered it. At the same time, she made up her mind to help her daughter pay attention and not hold her back.

"Sister, don't worry, I will also pay attention." Li Zhengde was smart. He had already figured out what Li Mingxia meant and said immediately.

Li Mingxia smiled and said, "It's highly likely that nothing will happen. I think these people are honest and decent."
