Parents are busy farming

Just after Zi Zifen discovered something, Liu Meng'er leaned into Zi Zifen's ear and said softly: "Miss, people from all over the country have come back to celebrate the New Year this year. In addition to the stewards of Shopkeeper Pang, there are also those we sent over What about the sisters? Some of them are already very old. Is it time for them to think about starting a family? "

Ye Zifen was shocked after hearing this, and realized that the girls who had followed her the longest back then were indeed quite old now.

She once promised these girls that if anyone wanted to leave, they would receive a sum of money and be released from slavery to provide for their future needs; if they found someone worthy of being entrusted to them for life, they would also be provided with a dowry and released from slavery. Register, so that they can start a family and start a business.

Time flies, and I never imagined that it would be time to fulfill my promise in a blink of an eye.

So, she asked Liu Menger: "Have you ever understood their respective thoughts? How many girls are willing to start a family, and how many want to leave on their own?"

Liu Meng'er lowered her voice and replied: "A few days ago, Keren and I took advantage of chatting with them to inquire about their situation privately..."

Ye Zifen looked at Liu Meng'er and asked doubtfully: "So what is the current situation?"

Liu Meng'er replied: "Five of them are in love with local men, and their words reveal their desire to get married. As for the others, they have not yet considered this step. After all, they are still young and can wait for another year or two." They hope to continue to serve the lady and help in the shop. I am wondering whether I should properly arrange for those who are interested in getting married. "

Ye Zifen nodded in agreement and continued: "For these five women who want to get married, each of them will be given ten taels of silver and the deed of sale will be returned to them. In addition, we still need to find five talented people to fill the gap. They are vacant. Once they get married, they can no longer work in the shop. This is the rule we have set. Their situation is different from Yuan'er. "

Indeed, the only difference is that the people they choose are locals.

Once a person gets married, his thoughts will naturally be biased towards his own small family.

If they do anything detrimental to the interests of the shop in the future, it will not only cause harm to themselves, but also cause trouble to Ye Zifen.

After all, the people in power today are still Pang Chao's group, but since the other party handed over the people to her, she must choose to trust them.

If not, how could these people be called here today?

Seeing this situation, Liu Meng'er nodded and said, "After I return, I will hand over the money and contract to them. But I don't know if I still want them to come and kowtow to the lady to thank me?"

Ye Zifen shook her head gently and responded: "That's all, there is no need to do this. However, you need to find ways to prepare delicious food in the village and arrange a party, which can be regarded as a farewell party for them. As for the rewards in the past. Let them take away all the items given to them.”

However, Ye Zifen, who was always worried in her heart, couldn't help but warned them again: "Remember, before leaving, be sure to remind them that it is most appropriate to keep the money tightly in their own hands. Do not give everything without reservation to avoid encounters in the future. Unexpected... In this way, it can be regarded as leaving a way out for myself. "

Liu Meng'er quickly comforted: "Don't worry, Miss. We have been together for many years. Miss taught us to put ourselves first and not to put our thoughts entirely on men. If they still cannot understand the profound meaning, they will only suffer in the future." You can blame them for not having a long memory."

Ye Zifen chuckled lightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Hey, don't be so tough here! You are obviously a soft-hearted person, but you still have to pretend to be tough."

Then he said rudely: "In front of me, you don't need to say these harsh words, just go over and have a few glasses of wine with them, and then convey the things I told them. This will also complete the relationship between you." Sisterhood.”

Liu Meng'er has spent much longer time with these girls than Ye Zifen, and the feelings between them are naturally deeper.

She said this, ostensibly for the girls, but in fact she also meant it for Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen didn’t believe that Liu Meng’er would really be as heartless as she said, so much so that she wouldn’t say or do anything!

Otherwise, she would not have taken the initiative to mention this matter in front of Ye Zifen.

In fact, Liu Meng'er wanted to leave a long time ago, but she just sat there because she was thinking about the sisters.

At this moment, she was of course very happy when she heard Ye Zifen asked her to go to the sisters' table. She stood up without saying anything. Not only did she leave her seat, but she also took Luo Ke away with her.

Looking at the two people's leaving figures, Ye Zifen's heart was full of envy.

She knew that she still had a mission, and she had to go to the private room with Pang Chao to talk to the stewards to stabilize their emotions.

There is turmoil everywhere at the moment, and the main purpose of the several stewards' return is to hear everyone's opinions on the current situation.

They are responsible for managing the shop, but people have to survive first!

Since their business went from bad to worse, they have been worried all day long, fearing that they would die in a foreign land.

When Ye Zifen and Pang Chao entered the private room, everyone stood up to greet them.

Zi Zifen was not familiar with these people, it could be said that this was the first time they met, but Pang Chao was different, they were all brought here by Pang Chao.

Therefore, everyone felt more cordial when seeing Pang Chao, while they were more in awe of Ye Zifen.

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Zhi Zifen smiled and said to Pang Chao, "Pay attention to your facial expressions. Didn't you see that everyone is afraid of you?"

Pang Chao naturally understood that Ye Zifen was teasing him at this moment to make everyone relax.

So he hurriedly responded: "It's my fault. I'm trying to scare everyone with a straight face during the Chinese New Year. Please sit down quickly. Today we are just gathering together to chat. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

As soon as Pang Chao said these words, it was like taking a tranquilizing pill for everyone present, and most of the uneasiness in everyone's hearts disappeared instantly.

After Pang Chao and Ye Zifen sat down one after another, the others dared to sit down one after another.

Pang Chao was the first to raise his glass and toast everyone, and then slowly explained: "According to common sense, Zifen should be the one to toast everyone with the first glass of wine today, but she is still in the period of observing filial piety. In fact, It’s not appropriate to drink alcohol, I hope you don’t take it personally.”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly responded in unison: "Don't dare, don't dare."

They really didn't dare to do it, and now that they know the reason, they can understand it.
