Fang Xiaoning looked at the selected women and said, "Sisters and aunts, come to work tomorrow morning. We work two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Lunch is not provided. The pay is eighteen coins a day."

Everyone nodded, saying that the village chief had already spoken to them, and they were very satisfied with the wages.

"Not coming to work without a valid reason is considered absenteeism. One day of absence will result in a deduction of three days' wages. If you are absent for three days, you can go home; we don't want you anymore. If you have any family matters to attend to, you must inform us in advance."

During the busy farming season, our workshop still needs to ship goods. You certainly won't be able to take care of your work at home, so please leave if you can't.

As a result, three more people left the group. They were deducted three days' wages for each day they worked. The young wife of the Song family was too heartless. No one deducted money like this. They couldn't accept it.

Those who remain are the ones who will stay and work.

"Sister-in-law, aunties, go home first today and come back tomorrow. We have work clothes and hats for work, which will be distributed tomorrow. From now on, the work in the workshop will be hard for everyone."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work." They're paid to work, so what's the point of talking about whether it's hard work or not? It's all what they're supposed to do.

Fang family girl, how come you've changed so much? You've got the air of a landlady. Being paired with her makes them all a little uneasy.

The selected villagers left one after another. Regardless of the circumstances, they were still very happy to have such a good job. They went home and told their families that they had been chosen, so they could be happy too. From now on, these women could also support their families.

"Xiao Ning, tomorrow after they start work, we'll go buy someone." We need people, it's urgent. I'll take my wife with me to check them out. We'll also find out which midwife is good, and get things ready as soon as possible.

The next day, the two got up early. "Mom, we might not be back for lunch today, so don't wait for us."

"Okay, Fengzi, drive carefully on the road, take good care of Xiao Ning, and remember to go to the doctor to have her pulse checked!"

"understood."

The couple followed the slave trader to a dilapidated, cramped shack filled with people who had sold themselves into servitude. Some stood up upon seeing them, their eyes gleaming with hope, but most remained seated, their gazes empty and numb. All were emaciated and dressed in rags.

"Is someone literate and suitable to be a housekeeper?"

The slave trader brought out a dozen or so people. Fang Xiaoning stared into their eyes, as did Song Feng. The two of them secretly discussed it and bought two stewards they thought were relatively honest.

"Do you have a cleaning lady and a cook?"

"Naturally there is."

They bought another cook and a cleaning lady. Although she was called a cleaning lady, she was actually only in her thirties, about the same age as Su.

Four people, a total of thirty taels, ten taels for the steward, and five taels for the old woman and the cook.

"Pfft."

One of the housekeepers and the cook knelt down in front of the two of them, which startled Fang Xiaoning so much that she involuntarily took two steps back. What was going on?

"Master, please have mercy and buy my family as well, please!" If you don't buy them, they may never see each other again in their lives.

But where will all these people live now? Her house is so small!

"To be honest, my family is not very big. I don't know how many people are in your family?"

"Xiao Ning, people can live in the workshop," Song Feng gently reminded her.

Emma, ​​she forgot about that; the house may not be big, but the workshop is!

“Master, we can all sleep in one room as a family, or if that’s not possible, we can build a thatched hut. I have a son, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson.” As long as the family is together, that’s fine.

"My lady, I have two sons and a daughter." Her husband is no longer with her; he recently died of illness.

Fang Xiaoning glanced at their family members. Oh well, they'd already bought it; buying a few more wouldn't make a difference. Thinking this, her hand trembled slightly as she handed over the money. It was way over budget.

After buying the people, she took them straight to the clinic for a prenatal checkup. She needed to see the doctor to put her mind at ease. She couldn't bring back any sick people; it was better to be careful with people from those places.

After the routine prenatal checkup, I asked, "Doctor, could you please diagnose them and see if there are any problems with their health?"

The doctor glanced at the group; it seemed his regular customer had made a fortune again, buying up so many people at once.

These people are not seriously ill, except that they are a little weak and malnourished.

These are all normal.
