Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen continued: "There has never been a situation like this before. The reason is that after the young servants and apprentices have been carefully cultivated, they are expected to become shopkeepers or masters in the future. That is to say, our family has spent time and effort on educating them. These people are doing this in the hope that they can be used by our family in the future, do you understand?"

When Ye Zifen said this, doubts appeared on the faces of two women. It was obvious that they did not expect that things would be so complicated.

However, the several old men present were all sensible people, and they all said: "Of course I understand. How can anyone be nice to a stranger for no reason? We all understand. Sir, please continue talking!" "

Ye Zifen nodded and continued: "Therefore, if the children in your family follow me and leave, it will be a matter of several years, even ten years or even decades."

Sure enough, the faces of those women showed signs of reluctance. They were all their own children. How could they be reluctant to part with them after not seeing them for so many years.

Ye Zifen did not stop there, but instead added fuel to the fire, saying: "During this period, they must devote themselves wholeheartedly to the operation of the store, always put the interests of the owner's family first, and only show filial piety to you. What's more serious is that when they reach the marriageable age, maybe I will introduce a suitable woman to them as a marriage partner, but if it is the person you introduced and I don't agree, then They can’t get married either.”

Ye Zifen paused slightly when he said this, and his eyes scanned the faces of everyone present.

As expected, the women had obvious anger on their faces.

From ancient times to the present, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law always seem to be on opposite sides.

In some partial families, the mother-in-law will even target a girl from her own relatives as the daughter-in-law, just so that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be of the same mind.

However, Ye Zifen ruthlessly established a strong competitor for them.

There is no doubt that this opponent is definitely not easy to deal with. It is very likely that the daughter-in-law will be in glory outside, while they can only suffer at home.

In addition, raising children to provide for old age has always been a traditional concept for many people. If children cannot put filial piety to their elders first, but put other things more important, then what should such children do? Is it just to make yourself suffer?

Hearing this, a respected old man in the crowd stood up and responded: "We can completely accept this issue. If it is really you who comes to make the connection and introduce the right girl to us, it must be because of that child It’s a great thing for us to get your approval! It’s not too late for us to be happy!”

Ye Zifen showed a satisfied smile and nodded slightly to express her approval.

Compared to those women with unhappy faces, this old man is indeed much more cognizant.

However, despite feeling satisfied inside, Ye Zifen decided to continue.

She said firmly: "In addition, if they are not qualified for the job I originally assigned, they will most likely be transferred to other places. I hope everyone can understand that every position in our store is fixed. , just like a carrot corresponds to a pit. The compensation received by each position is also different. If someone keeps performing poorly and changes jobs frequently, he may never make a lot of money by then. If you are dissatisfied, I won’t have any concerns or hesitations.”

Hearing this, the old man responded: "Actually, miss, we all understand your worries and concerns. If our children lack understanding or talent, even as apprentices, I am afraid they will not be qualified for this job. When the time comes, the miss will be able to do it. We understand this by sending them back to us. At the same time, we are still very grateful for the girl's kindness in helping us through this difficult time."

At this moment, Luo Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, understanding in his heart that what Miss Ye just said was a test for everyone.

Fortunately, there are still sensible people among them.

Earlier, Miss Ye had made it clear that the clerks and apprentices were all recommended by acquaintances.

In other words, such opportunities don’t come around all the time.

Miss Ye felt pity and gave them such a position, which was really a rare opportunity!

He couldn't help but yearn for him, but he knew very well that Miss Ye's selection of people was by no means random.

Let’s move forward in a down-to-earth manner!

Ye Zifen continued: "Only one person can be left in the other place. You need to discuss carefully and decide who to keep. You must think carefully and don't put your family in a desperate situation because of your own selfish desires. This is my only good deed today. Wait until the discussion is completed. , someone will come to sign an agreement with you and distribute rations.”

After saying that, Zi Zifen turned around and left, only to see Zi Ziwei escorting someone here.

She hurriedly walked that way so as not to disturb everyone in the room.

The man's mouth was tightly bound with a thick rope, and he could only make whining sounds. His body also became shaky and staggering due to the severe beatings. It was obvious that he had experienced painful torture before.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Ye Zifen showed a satisfied smile.

Only by letting this guy suffer a little bit will he understand who he can mess with and who he absolutely cannot touch.

However, before Ye Zifen could speak, four or five figures were seen flying towards here in the distance.

Ye Zifen narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the group of people who were gradually approaching. She did recognize two of them, they were Fang You and Luo Xu's grandson, but the rest had never met and had not had time to get to know them.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Ye Zifen made a quick decision, grabbed the man captured by Ye Ziwei, walked straight into the tent he had just set up, and turned to tell Ye Ziwei: "Continue to pay attention to the situation outside, I will Take charge of this person."

After receiving the instruction, Ziwei nodded lightly and turned around to leave, leaving Zifen alone busy in the tent.

After entering the tent, Ye Zifen quickly went to a carriage to find a kerosene lamp and lit it. Then she fiddled with a small stove, added some firewood and successfully started a fire.

Then he took the kerosene lamp and small stove to the tent and left.

As soon as she walked to the tent, she saw several people standing, seemingly waiting for her.

Ye Zifen ignored them and went straight into the tent.

At this time, the tied man sat up with difficulty by relying on his own strength.

After putting everything away, Ye Zifen finally called in those people who had been waiting outside the tent and were eager to talk to her.
