Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

After waiting for about half an hour, Shen Xing came back with everyone.

Li Mingxia looked at the bags each of them were carrying, and Shen Xing handed the remaining five taels of silver to Li Mingxia.

"In addition to the things the young lady ordered, I bought two bathtubs and some wormwood to burn for fumigating the house."

Li Mingxia looked at Shen Xing with satisfaction. He thought Shen Xing was thoughtful and careful. He was right about him.

Li Mingxia feels more at ease working with people who know how to spend money and not to spend it recklessly.

"The carriage can't accommodate so many people. Let some maids and women get in, and you can just follow the carriage." Li Mingxia said.

Naturally, no one had any objection. The maids and old women were extremely happy, but they did not fight for the seats. They got on the car one after another and just sat in the corner, trying to minimize the space they took up.

When Li Mingxia and the others returned home, Li Sanlang and Li Zhengpin had already warmed the house. Seeing that Li Mingxia and the others had brought back so many people, Li Sanlang and Li Zhengpin were a little at a loss.

After Li Mingxia finished introducing Li Sanlang and Li Zhengpin to these people, these people all started calling them "Master" and "Young Master" in unison, which made the two men even more uneasy.

Li Mingxia pulled his family members to sit down and glanced at the people kneeling on the ground.

"From now on, you will be called Dahu, Erliang, Xiaotao, and Xiaoping. The rest of the names will remain unchanged. Shenxing, I will only talk to you on weekdays. I will tell you my requirements, and you can give orders again. I only look at the results and not the process. But, there are a few points you must remember. Those who bully others by taking advantage of their power, bully others in groups, are disloyal, do not respect their masters, and refuse to be disciplined, just come and tell me. If I can't discipline them, I will sell them. And then don't say I'm cruel." Li Mingxia looked around and said lightly.

Everyone's faces turned pale and they lowered their heads even more.

These people knew very well what would happen to the servants who had been bought and sold back. The men would probably go to dig coal and do hard labor, and the women would either go to brothels or be sold to some peasant as a wife. Either way, their life would be worse than death. No one dared to be careless at the moment, for fear of making Li Mingxia unhappy.

"Yes, Miss." Shen Xing lowered his head and agreed.

Although he had been sold into slavery and in a sense was no longer a human being but just a commodity of his master, even so, for Shen Xing it was a very happy thing to be able to keep his surname.

"Our last name is Li, and all our family members are here. This is the master, this is the madam, this is the eldest young master, this is the second young master, and these are the two young ladies." Li Mingxia briefly introduced his family members.

"Xiao Tao, you will be responsible for taking care of the two young ladies from now on. You have to take good care of their daily food, clothes, and daily necessities, and when they go out to play. You don't have to worry about anything else." Li Mingxia said, pointing at the round-faced girl.

Xiao Tao kowtowed quickly and agreed. It was already a very easy job as she only had to take care of the two little girls and didn't have to do anything else.

"Shen Lu and Grandma Sun, you two are responsible for cooking, washing clothes, cleaning, serving tea and water. You don't have to worry about anything else."

"Xiao Li, Ma Pozi, you two should help wherever we need help these days. When the business in town picks up in a while, Xiao Li, Shen Xing, and Da Hu will follow me to work in the shop. Ma Pozi and my mother will go to the dock. Er Liang will stay with my eldest brother in the workshop at home and listen to my brother's arrangements."

Li Mingxia arranged everyone's affairs in one breath, then quickly picked up the water and took a sip.

"After you finish your own tasks, the rest of the time is yours. When you are not told to do anything, you can do whatever you want. Just don't cause trouble. Also, Shen Lu."

After Li Mingxia mentioned Shen Lu's name, Shen Xing and Shen Lu's bodies tensed up at the same time.

"You can embroider. Although I don't know how good you are, I think you should be pretty good. When the seasons change, if you are busy, you can help make clothes for the family. The rest of the time, you can keep the money from selling the embroidery."

After hearing what Li Mingxia said, Shen Lu and everyone else were all surprised.

Is it just to help make clothes when the seasons change? At other times, the things made can be sold by myself? There is such a good thing?

"Don't delay what I have ordered. If you fail to do your job well just to make money, I will not look at anyone's feelings. You can just go back to the pawnshop and let Manager Lin deal with you." Li Mingxia put down his teacup and said it very clearly.

But she didn't expect that Shen Lu, who had always been timid, was not afraid when she heard these words. Instead, she smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Shen Xing's expression softened a lot when he looked at his happy sister. He was even more grateful for his decision this time. Fortunately, he grabbed Li Mingxia as a life-saving straw, otherwise, he would have no idea what his future would be like.

"You get 800 coins every month. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you don't, you will be punished. You are allowed one day off every month. Tell me three days in advance and I will grant you the leave when you are not busy." After saying this, Li Mingxia let them go. After all, the two houses had just been bought and not cleaned, and no one had lived there for a long time. If they were not cleaned up properly, they would have nowhere to stay.

It was also at this time that Li Zhengpin and Li Sanlang found out that their daughter had quietly bought two more houses.

"Let's go and see if there's anything we can help with." Li Sanlang hurried out with Li Zhengpin.

Li Mingxia didn't say not to let them go. On the one hand, he knew that his father and elder brother would definitely want to see the new house the family had bought. On the other hand, they were used to working and couldn't sit still, so they could do whatever they wanted.

Zhang thought about it and took the two little kids to join in the fun.

As for Li Zhengde, he took the servant he had chosen back to his room.

This was also what Li Mingxia meant. No matter the servant's name, how much the monthly salary was, or whether it was fake or not, it was all up to Li Zhengde to decide. Li Mingxia had already told Li Zhengde about this in the carriage.

When it was almost time to prepare dinner in the evening, Zhang came back, followed by Shen Lu and Mrs. Sun, while the rest of the people were still cleaning up.

Zhang heard that her daughter had assigned Shen Lu and Sun Pozi the task of keeping house, so she brought them back during cooking time.

"You all know how to cook, right?" Although Li Mingxia had asked this question at the dental clinic, he still confirmed it again.
