Chapter 539: Back to the Village

This man looked steady and mature, but there was ambition in his eyes. If such a person were trained well, he would be her right-hand man.
Therefore, Lin yuelan chose to get him. As for his freedom, it was indeed as she had promised. As long as he didn’t have any intention of betraying her in the next three years, she would go to court and restore their status. After that, it was up to them to decide whether they wanted to stay or leave.
The Wu family had around 12 people. Lin yuelan didn’t look at the third family.
Zhou Wencai had gotten his servants to arrange for two carriages.
One was a luxurious carriage, and the other was a handcart. Except for Wu Jinxia, who was Lin yuelan’s coachman, the other twelve people were all squeezed into this handcart.
When Lin yuelan returned to the Lin family Village from the county, the people in the carriage once again caused a stir in the entire village.
The villagers thought Lin yuelan had pulled back beggars from the streets.
After that, when they found out that these people were actually government servants bought from the county government, they were both envious and jealous.
Those who could buy official laborers from the county government needed to have a strong background.
Therefore, it was obvious that Lin yuelan’s trip would definitely be about the farming method. The county Magistrate had given Lin yuelan a reward, but it was also very enviable.
One must know that getting official laborers were at least twice as cheap. Most importantly, ordinary people could not do this.
But now, Lin yuelan had gone to the county and did this through her connections.
However, when the villager saw the old, weak, sick, and disabled men and women getting out of the carriage, his jealousy and injustice dissipated a little. He thought to himself, ‘Hmph, I don’t want this kind of official servant who can’t work. Is the jinx blind? Didn’t she know that these people are disabled and sick? These are all useless and money-wasting trash!’
The population had suddenly increased by more than a dozen people, so the courtyard of this small thatched cottage would definitely not be able to accommodate everyone.
It seemed that she could only put them in the workers’ dormitory for now.
When Wu Jinxia saw a large building from afar, he was surprised.
Especially when the carriage was headed in that direction, he was even more shocked.
Could it be that this house belonged to their current owner?
If it really was her family’s, then her family was really not simple.
However, when the carriage stopped in front of a small thatched cottage, he was slightly disappointed.
After all, before this, he had thought that the master was from a rich family and at least could make proper arrangements for his people.
“It can’t be. Are we going to work in this broken house?”
Wu Jinxia’s third brother, Wu Jinwu, couldn’t stand the cart trip and immediately vomited the moment he got off.
After a while, when he finally felt less uncomfortable, he looked up and saw the tattered little thatched cottage. His pale face instantly became even paler. He couldn’t bear the look of despair on his face and screamed in his heart.
“Miss Lin, who are they?” Little Six heard the commotion and quickly ran over to take a look. Unexpectedly, before he could get close to Lin yuelan, he heard a disdainful and disappointed voice. He immediately asked in confusion, ” work? What kind of work are they doing?”
Then, he ran over anxiously and asked, ” Miss Lin, are you and the boss alright? ”
They had been at the court for a day, and their hearts had been in their throats for the whole day. Now that they had finally returned, they had brought back a group of strangers.
Lin yuelan shook her head and said, “We’re fine.”
Little Six looked around and did not seem to see his boss. He muttered to himself and asked, ” Miss Lin, where’s my boss? Didn’t he come back with you? ”
Lin yuelan pointed to the carriage shed and said, “He’s there!”
This time, Little Six could clearly see where Jiang Zhennan was, but what he was curious about now was these strangers who had suddenly come.
“Miss Lin, who are they? ” he asked again.
Lin yuelan said, ” they’re the official laborers I got!”
Little Six was surprised, but he didn’t ask much.
Lin yuelan glanced at these people and pointed at six or seven men and women with haggard faces. She said coldly, “From tomorrow onwards, these few will work with you.”
“What?”
“What?”
The first sound came from Little Six’s surprised voice.
The second voice was Wu Jinwu’s cry of disbelief.
What surprised Little Six was that these people, who looked so delicate, actually had to start working tomorrow.
Wu Jinwu’s exclamation was because they did not expect that they would have to work the moment they started. It was their nightmare because they had never done any work before.
Wu Jinwu resisted and said, ” no, I’m not in good health. I’m still sick. How can I work? ”
Lin yuelan’s eyes turned cold, and she told Wu Jinwu, “Since you don’t want to start working tomorrow, I can send you back to your cell now!”
