Xu Erzhu nodded and said, "My daughter is smart, so I'll listen to her."

Xu Tao gave a few more instructions and got up to go out. Mother Zhang was still outside, keeping things organized, so it would not be appropriate for her to stay inside for too long.

"Taotao, you're back. You've grown up now, and I'm relieved. Back then... well, it was all my fault. I didn't take good care of your grandma. I don't know who tricked her into selling you out. It was too late for me to catch up with her.

Later, when I learned that you were working in the Wen Mansion, I felt relieved. After all, Lord Wen is a very good official, and the Wen Mansion has always been famous for its generosity. Instead of letting you eat coarse food with us, it is better for you to enjoy life in a wealthy family.

Look, seeing how you look now, your grandma’s decision wasn’t so foolish.”

Xu Tao crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, "Master, you are right. Being a maid in the Wen Mansion is indeed more comfortable than living at home."

"I knew you were a filial child. What happened is over now. It's a good future for you. Unfortunately, your parents can't get over it..."

When Old Man Xu saw his second granddaughter's expression, he thought she agreed with what he said, so he quickly played the emotional card.

He had inquired about it and found out that the old lady of the Wen family was kindhearted. The maid who signed the death contract not only had no worries about food and drink, but also had a monthly stipend of silver hair.

Even an ordinary maid would earn about a hundred copper coins a month. After the second girl had been gone for three years, she could have saved at least three taels of silver, which was enough for Sizhu to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone for a while.

I'll send the third girl in in a couple of days, so the two sisters will have a companion and they can bring back more than two taels of silver for home every year, which is not much less than what an adult man can earn by finding odd jobs.

The more Old Man Xu thought about it, the more excited he became. He wished he could send the person there right now. At the same time, he felt a little resentful towards his wife.

If she had not been so cruel as to drown her own daughters and granddaughters, the family would have been able to easily save ten or so taels of silver a year, and would not have to worry so much about Sizhu's tuition.

Alas, she is indeed a woman with long hair and short knowledge.

Xu Tao waited quietly for others to speak before she spoke softly, "Grandpa, since you said you were going there to live a good life, your granddaughter has such a great fortune that she must repay her family.

Now that I am fortunate enough to be favored by the young lady, I have gained some face. It is no problem to arrange for my family members to come in. I have arranged all the work for you.

You and grandma will take care of the horses and clean up the manure. My three uncles will be the grooms, and my aunt and sister will do the laundry.

It's easier to deal with the cousins, they can be servants and doormen. As for the younger cousins and the baby in your aunt's belly, don't worry, the master will like them more if they are brought up from a young age.

Mother Zhang, do you think my arrangement is suitable? If it is, let's sign the indenture contract now."

Mother Zhang immediately understood, raised her head arrogantly, glanced at the people present with disdain, and said reluctantly: "Not everyone can enter our Wen Mansion, but since Taohua has spoken, I will give you this opportunity.

Shaoyao, go prepare the writing brush and ink. Let's finish this quickly and go back."

The old couple on the side were completely confused. No, what was going on? Why did their whole family have to sign an indenture to sell themselves?

Xu Yin, from the eldest wife's family, didn't feel like working in the fields, so he found an excuse to go to the toilet because of a stomachache and slipped back home. Before he even entered the house, he heard the conversation and his eyes lit up quickly. He asked hurriedly, "Sister Tao, is the Wen Mansion really as good as you say? Can we have enough food and clothes?"

"Of course you can. Look at what I'm wearing and the flesh on my face. Isn't that proof?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yin circled around the group for a few times, then immediately ran over to Old Man Xu and urged him, "Sir, please sign quickly. Once you sign, we can enjoy a good life."

Xu Mangen staggered after being pushed, and his senses quickly returned. He gave his third grandson a big slap in the face, saying, "What the hell are you thinking about? How many servants have a good life?"

Useless trash, he even eats the food and is easily fooled.

"Master, why did you hit me?"

"Get out of the way, you eyesore."

"Master, what are you doing? What my cousin said is right. Life as a slave is good. Isn't that what you said just now?

If our whole family goes, we can save enough money for more than ten years a year, and we won't have to worry about food and clothing every year, and we can even eat meat several times a month. Look, the deed is already written for you, please put your fingerprints on it."

Xu Tao took the paper from Shaoyao and grabbed the person to press it. Xu Mangen was so scared that he shrank his hands and cursed dirty words, revealing his usual disguise.

Xu Yin, who was standing by, was extremely anxious and wanted to do it himself, but unfortunately he was tightly controlled by Old Lady Xu and had to give up.

Xu Tao frowned and sneered, "You already know the truth, so why are you pretending to be so high and mighty in front of me? What? Do you think you're the only smart person in the world and the rest of us are fools?"

"You are all unfilial people. You deserve to be struck by lightning. Get out of my house. You are not even my family. How dare you enter my house? Get out of here now, or I will call the police to arrest you."

Xu Tao grabbed Mr. Xu's arm. Since the other party said that she was not a member of the Xu family, she didn't have to follow the rules.

"What are you doing? Let my dad go!"

Xu Tao quickly dodged, and the hoe brushed past her ear and hit her. Everyone present was sweating with fear. Of course, the old couple of the Xu family were not afraid that the little bitch would die, but seeing her current attire, they were afraid that the Wen family would cause trouble for them. After all, when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first.

When Xu Tao saw the people coming back, the corners of her mouth curled up and said, "Good, very good."

"Dad, are you okay? Don't worry, your son will avenge you right away."

Xu Sanzhu rolled up his sleeves and was ready to teach a few people a lesson. In his eyes, his parents were as important as God, and he would fight to the death with anyone who dared to touch them.

What's more, they have come to their door, if they continue to swallow their anger, wouldn't they be cowards?

Xu Sanzhu's three sons have the same temperament as him, and they are all ready to take action.

Mother Zhang and her companions were not pushovers either, and they saw that a war was about to break out.

Xu Yin quickly shouted, "Uncle San, it's not what you think. That little girl is Sister Tao. She wants to take us to live a good life. Don't ruin our family's good fortune."

Xu Yin talked about all the benefits in great detail, which made the people who had just returned a little tempted. It would be great if it were like this. Now they have to tighten their belts to make ends meet, and it is good enough to have enough to eat, let alone eat meat.

Once they go to the Wen Mansion, they will not have to worry about food and drink, and they can also save money. Once they have saved enough, they can redeem themselves. Isn't this equivalent to the Wen Mansion supporting them for free and even giving them money?

Old man Xu was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. What a bunch of brainless people. They are looking for servants, not to open a charity. If it is so good, who wouldn't be a slave?
