The casual life of the flat space

Bai Tieying said affirmatively: "Who said your father is gone? Isn't this clearly in your mind? Look, sister... I have heard a saying: As long as you don't forget, the deceased relatives will always be there!"

"really?"

"Of course! By the way, let me tell you, this angry toad is just as its name suggests. When it gets angry, its belly will swell up. The angrier it gets, the bigger its belly gets. In the end..."

"What happened in the end?"

"It is no longer angry, and continues to live happily in the grass and mud hole without any harm."

"Sister Tieying, I know you are teaching me. I have learned it. I am not angry. Otherwise, I will throw silver and make the toad angry!"

"We are all human beings, and it is normal to get angry. However, getting angry, especially at others, is the most counterproductive thing and will not help. So can you calmly come with me to solve this matter later?"

"Yes, I can. I can protect myself and I can protect my mother!"

"Oh my, our Bao Er is so adorable! All right, let's go out and fight for 300 rounds and make that woman explain herself clearly!"

Bai Tieying took Baoer's hand and went out of the door. Mu Qingqiu gave her a big thumbs up with her eyes. Bai Tieying raised her eyebrows, signaling this "backer" to follow her, and the three of them slowly walked to the garden.

Before reaching the flower-covered gate of the third courtyard, the buzzing chatter of the second courtyard could be heard. However, Bai Tieying still slowly picked a high place to stand before speaking: "I am Bai Tieying, the new owner of the refugees temporarily staying in this manor."

Seeing that some people below wanted to kowtow, Bai Tieying hurriedly continued: "Don't kowtow, it will shorten my life!" So those who wanted to kowtow straightened their half-bent knees.

"It's been such a long time since I last met you all. Tieying would like to apologize to everyone first." Bai Tieying said as he bowed slightly. Aunt Wang from below quickly followed suit and bowed, saying, "Master, you are so polite. It's all I should do." Everyone else followed suit, some bowed, some saluted.

"Okay, everyone, stop being so polite, otherwise you will miss lunch." Bai Tieying said with a smile.

"Oh, right!" Bai Tieying said as if she remembered something, "In our family, we have three meals a day. Of course, we eat whatever is available at home. My ability is limited now, so I can only make sure everyone is well fed."

"My God, three meals a day is a lot, how can we be so unsatisfied? Master, don't worry, we didn't say anything." Aunt Wang took over the conversation, and everyone agreed when they heard it.

"Alright!" Bai Tieying pressed his hands down and continued, "We will get to know each of you better in the future. Today I have three things to do:

The first thing is to let everyone know me, so that if anything happens, they will know who the backbone is;

The second thing is that I need a group of experienced people who have raised chickens, ducks and geese before, or children who have lost their elders but are willing to learn how to raise chickens, or elders who have lost their relatives but are willing to be self-reliant to work at the chicken farm I run;

The third thing is that I will arrange for the others to live in my house. However, due to limited conditions this year, you will not be able to live in a comfortable big house like this one, nor will you have free meals. I will say this in advance. For those who don't want to go with me, I will let the brokers sell you again. But if you agree to go with me but regret it, I can only send you to a better place.

Haha, don't worry, it's a good place, but you won't be free any more." Bai Tieying looked at the faces of the people below and continued:

"Some people may wonder, don't I still have no freedom now? That's because you don't know me yet.

When I first learned that there were refugees in Shang'an, I was just able to feed and clothe myself and my family, and my situation was probably even worse than before you fled the famine! So at that time I could only feel pity for you, but I was unable to help you.

Later, by chance, I slowly accumulated some assets, bought land, had a new house, and was able to help you, and all this happened in just over three months.

There are farmers who have lived a peaceful life, artisans who make a living by their skills, and some of you who have studied or worked in business. So the lack of freedom you think is only relative and temporary. I don't regard you as slaves, but more appropriately, I regard you as friends who complement each other.

I am not in a position to comment on what happened to your former master. I also do not care what kind of work you did in your former master or what kind of treatment you received. I just want you to forget your former identities and all the thoughts in your mind that are not good for me, and let's cooperate honestly.

In the early stage, I provided you with food, clothing, shelter and transportation. You should prove with your own strength that my efforts were not in vain and my kindness was treated well. When our efforts are equal, then it is time for you to have freedom.

Whether you choose to continue to work for me and get the corresponding compensation, or find another job, as long as you tell me openly and don't say anything bad about me or stab me in the back, then at that time we will be friends who have had a special experience, equal friends. And as your friend, your indenture will naturally be returned to you. "

Bai Tieying naturally had no need to lie, this was indeed her original intention. She was not a bad person, but she could not tolerate double standards. The three views that her original life had established for her made it impossible for her to enjoy or accept herself as a person she despised.

But she was unwilling to go the "Saint Mary" path, so when General Zhao mentioned the whereabouts of the refugees, she thought of this solution which she thought was the "best of both worlds".

For a long time after she finished speaking, the more than 100 people below were silent. Aunt Wang, who loved to talk the most, also remained silent. Some children felt the strange atmosphere and dared not play. Bai Tieying's words were really hard to understand for them, just like if someone in Bai Tieying's original life came to her and said that he was her slave.

Seeing that no one spoke after waiting for a long time, Bai Tieying had to continue speaking, "I don't know what everyone is thinking, but there are only a few situations: questioning, disdain, and obedience.

It is impossible for you not to think too much, so I will tell you my opinion based on what I can guess. If you still have questions after listening, you can raise them today. "
