Chapter 166: Sending the Bear
Li Yao asked Zhang Dachun to take Li Zhong to get a new quilt and come back, spread it on the bed, and it looked like a person who could live.
There was a main hall and two side rooms inside, Li Yao lived for Li Zhong's family of four, and Zhang Dachun was lonely, so he let him sleep in the side room, and several people had no opinion on this.
After that, Li Yao took five taels of silver for Li Zhong, and asked Li Zhong to look at the purchase of some daily necessities and clothes for his family, the four of them were slaves of the death contract, and the previous master sold them and did not let them take away any items, at this time, the four of them had nothing but the clothes they were wearing.
Li Zhong saw that Li Yao was five taels of silver as soon as he made a move, and he couldn't help but be a little frightened, and hesitated and didn't dare to take it.
"Uncle Zhong, Aunt Xin, you work with me, each person's monthly salary is 500 Wen a month, as for Xiao Cheng and Yi'er, the two of them are young, I won't let them do too much work for the time being, they just need to do what they can, so for the time being, they only care about their food and housing, and there is no monthly money. These five taels of silver are the wages advanced to the two of you, and I will not pay you for the next five months. ”
Li Zhong and Li Xin's eyes widened when they heard this.
They worked in the previous owner's house, and the monthly money of one person was only a few dozen yuan, and only the monthly money was more during the New Year's Festival, but this money was only enough for them to wear, and they could not save a few pennies all year round, and when they left, the owner did not even let them take away the clothes they had purchased over the years.
Now the new owner actually gave each of them 500 Wen a month? Wouldn't their family be able to earn a tael of silver a month? This is comparable to the money earned by a rich peasant.
What moved the two even more was that the new owner actually said that their children were young and only let them do what they could, you must know that they were originally slaves of the death contract, and the children born were naturally slaves, so their children were commanded by the previous owner to work from a very young age, and they would be beaten and scolded from time to time.
Li Zhong and Li Xin glanced at each other, pulled the two children and knelt down directly for Li Yao together, and were about to say some words of thanks, but Li Yao frowned, moved and dodged, and immediately scolded: "Stand up!" ”
The two of them were stunned, only to feel that the cold air on Li Yao's body at this moment was colder than when they first hit them.
"In the future, this custom of kneeling at every turn cannot be done in me." Li Yao said with a calm face.
Li Zhong and Li Xin didn't understand Li Yao's reaction, after all, it was normal for them to kneel to their master, but Li Yao's words made the two of them understand, and they vaguely knew that Li Yao said this because they respected them, so the family stood up with each other's arms.
"Yes, miss, we will definitely change it in the future, and we will definitely do things well." Li Xin saw that Li Yao's face was still a little not good, and hurriedly said.
Li Zhong and Li Xin knew that Li Yao didn't like to listen to nice words, so they didn't say anything more, but silently swore in their hearts that they would definitely do things seriously to repay Miss in the future.
Li Yao had already put pots and pans and other things in the kitchen, and now that there was a cook in the shop, Li Yao was ready to let a few people cook in the shop in the future, and gave Li Zhong two taels of silver, so that they could go by the way to buy some grain, spices, firewood and other things to cook rice.
A few people just came here today, and there were a lot of things that needed to be added, so Li Yao asked them to only be responsible for the purchase of the family this time, and after settling the family, Li Yao left the shop.
It's just that when she left, she asked Zhang Dachun to borrow a board car in the afternoon and wait for her at the entrance of the town, and she had to send a bear to the Dong family in the afternoon.
