Farming and reading family

He was originally a human trafficker in Tanzhou City. He had offended someone from the Yishun Marquis's Mansion before, and all the wives he had accumulated with great difficulty were gone.

Since then, he has been having trouble making a living in Qinzhou City. As a result, he met Jin Ruyi who wanted to buy a deaf-mute person. He thought it was a windfall, but the man asked him to send the person over.

Thinking that it would be good to earn ten or so taels on this trip, he followed Lu Qingluo to He County.

Most of the twenty people in their group were girls, the youngest was six or seven years old, and the oldest was only fifteen or sixteen years old. They were very conspicuous as they walked along.

It was already afternoon when they arrived at Baotou Village. The villagers recognized Lu Qingluo and greeted her. They were all very curious about the group of people she brought with her.

He Jiabei looked around with a shifty look, wondering what kind of village this was. He had never seen a village with neatly arranged brick houses.

Those people were also very frightened. They were all born with defects and were looked down upon by others. Some were even abandoned by their families at birth. They didn't know what someone would buy them for.

When Lu Qingluo arrived at the Chen family's door, Gao E had already opened it.

"Why are you back?" Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo.

Lu Qingluo looked tired and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Gao E.

The letter was written by Jin Ruyi. She said that she found out that someone was targeting the Jin family, and that the batch of cowhide they had bought before was deliberately taken away by someone. She wanted to stay in Qinzhou City and observe secretly for a while.

The letter mentioned He Jiabei, thinking that he was a useful person and asked Gao E to see what use he could have.

Gao E still wanted Jin Ruyi to come back and take over the Chen family's affairs, but she ended up making arrangements for herself very clearly.

"Lianxin, take them to the yard first." Gao E gestured.

Lianxin glanced at the twenty people and gestured for them to follow her.

Soon, He Jiabei was the only one left at the door. He was tall, but hunched over with a forced smile on his face.

Gao E looked up at He Jiabei. This man's figure and demeanor were completely inconsistent. "Your name is He Jiabei?"

"Yes, yes, yes." He Jiabei is a man with good eyesight.

Although the person in front of him was just a peasant woman, her demeanor and bearing were even better than that of Mrs. Jin, so naturally he had to be polite to her.

Gao E looked at He Jiabei and felt that he was a master at judging people: "I heard that you offended someone from Yishunbo Mansion."

He Jiabei sighed: "That's just a matter of a word from those people in Yishunbo Mansion."

"The person has been sent, you can return to Tanzhou City." Gao E said directly, "But I have a job here, the salary is three taels a month, if you are willing, you can try it."

He Jiabei was stunned for a moment. Three taels of silver wasn't a low salary in Tanzhou City. Although it wasn't as much as he had earned before, it was a stable salary. "I don't know what the job is."

"I have a lot of work to do at home. In addition to hiring servants, I also need to hire long-term and short-term workers. You are responsible for this." Gao E said directly.

He Jiabei rolled his eyes. Although this village woman was extraordinary, how many people could a family like this need?

Do we need to find him specifically to be responsible for this?

"The wages are three taels at the beginning. If you do a good job in the future, the wages can be increased." Gao E saw He Jiabei hesitate.

He Jiabei heard the other party's solemn promise and thought that it would be fine to return to Qinzhou City at this time. "How long will it take?"

"Just do it first." Gao E also wanted to observe He Jiabei. "If I asked you to leave, I would tell you in advance. If you want to leave, just tell me in advance."

He Jiabei thought about it and said, "Okay."

"Do you need to go back and pack your luggage?" Gao E asked directly.

"No need." He Jiabei thought that it would take quite a while to go back to Qinzhou City and back, and besides, he really had nothing to pack.

"Okay, I'll have someone take you to your accommodation later." Gao E still planned to arrange for him to stay at Luo Dagang's house.

"Okay." He Jiabei agreed.

Gao E then went back to see the people Lian Xin brought back. Among the twenty people, fourteen were mute and six were deaf-mute.

There is no other problem with his body, but he looks thin and seems a little malnourished.

"These are all carefully selected by me according to Manager Jin's requirements," He Jiabei introduced.

Deaf and mute servants are indeed worthless, but it is not easy to find so many of them at once. Most families simply abandon such children and they never grow up.

Since the family that raised him is pretty good and his parents are kind people, they won't sell him unless they have to.

Most of those who are abandoned will not survive, and if they survive, there is a high probability that they will be subjected to torture and dismemberment.

To sum up, it is actually harder to find normal servants.

Gao E confirmed that their hands were fine, but not very flexible.

Then I tested their eyesight, and it was pretty good.

All that remains is training, which Gao E has to do personally.

He Jiabei was confused and had no idea what his new boss was thinking.

Gao E asked Hao to take them to wash up and prepare food for them. She called Lu Qingluo over and asked them about their trip to Qinzhou City.

Everything went smoothly with Jin Ruyi around, but in the end, Jin Ruyi wanted to take charge of the Jin family's affairs, and the two had a disagreement.

"She has been kicked out of the Jin family, but she is still thinking about the Jin family's affairs." Lu Qingluo was dissatisfied.

"It's human nature." Gao E knew that there was some discord between the two of them. "She was willful back then. Now that she can help her family, she will feel better."

Lu Qingluo still had a problem with Jin Ruyi: "She asked me to come back first, not that I don't care about her."

"Then where does she live?" Gao E was a little worried about Jin Ruyi.

"Wei Kai's house." Lu Qingluo did not hide it.

Gao E nodded: "You take a rest for two days first. I will arrange for these people, and then we will go to Qinzhou City together."

"What are you going there for?" Lu Qingluo asked cautiously, "Are you going to help Jin Ruyi?"

Gao E did think so: "Are you sure she's alone in Qinzhou City?"

Lu Qingluo said he was relieved: "How's my sword?"

"Something went wrong. The magic iron is not easy to make. I'm trying to figure it out." Gao E felt a headache just thinking about it.

Xu Boyan obviously knew what the booklet was, but she hadn't made any move until now. She didn't dare to confront Yishunbo head-on.

"What's the problem? Maybe I have a solution." Lu Qingluo was a little impatient.

"I'll tell you if you can solve it. Just wait a little longer." Gao E wanted to tell Lu Qingluo, as Lu Qingluo might really go to the mountains to steal trees.

Lu Qingluo looked at Gao E suspiciously.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo's suspicious expression.

"Heh! You just don't want to tell me." Lu Qingluo rolled his eyes.

"Who did you learn this eye-rolling habit from?" Gao E frowned.

Over there, the brother and sister Zhu Mocha and Luo Dagang also came to an end and told their grandfather all the information they could find.

Luo Dagang and his sister came to Qinzhou City more than a year after the Luo family in Dancheng was in trouble. Luo Dagang had some martial arts skills and worked as a thug. He also went out to escort items. He didn't interact with people much, and even the neighbors didn't know about him.
