Malatang's business is becoming increasingly stable, and it has gradually gained a stable customer base. Although it is not as busy as before, the business is still very good.

Seeing that Ming's mother was able to turn things around on her own, under Aunt Peng's worried gaze, Mingxiu began to behave like a monster again.

Of course, this is based on the fact that Xie Zhan took the money to buy the drawings, so she had the capital to think of other things.

"Mom, we can ask about the price and see if we can open a food shop in the city."

Ming's father is very stable, even if Mingxiu doesn't visit for a long time, it will be fine.

It's not that there aren't people who come to make trouble, but Xie Zhan has already given instructions to Jing Zhaoyin, who dares not to obey?

Basically, all the troublemakers were dealt with by the government officials, and all Ming's father had to do was to occasionally give some money for running errands when the government officials came to help.

Ming's father actually spends most of his time busy making things, so that he doesn't really want to stay in a shop in the city right now.

He had told Mingxiu more than once that he wanted to find someone to look after the shop, and he could just sit back and do carpentry work at home.

Anyway, the work in the field has almost been repaired, and Mingmu is responsible for the rest of the sowing and watering.

After hearing his father talk about this matter, Mingxiu thought about buying someone again.

What is needed in the shop are talents who can take charge of their own business. Such people often have a lot of thoughts. Even if they are capable, Mingxiu has to be careful about whether the other party has second thoughts.

It shows that it is good to show off a villain's heart. After all, money touches people's hearts, and there will inevitably be hidden dangers in the long run.

Instead of recruiting people, it is better to buy them directly.

But Mingxiu didn't want to go to the slave market too many times, so she thought of buying all the people she needed at once.

This can also save a lot of things at home.

The whole family has no objections to things that have been decided long ago.

Ming's mother closed the stall early and asked Aunt Peng to take their cart back, and then the mother and daughter went straight to the slave market.

In these days, it is very easy to buy someone, but Mingxiu's request is a bit rare.

What she wants is men and women who can read.

It's easier for men to say that, but for women...

Even in ordinary farm families, there are not many women who can read, let alone those who cannot survive these days and have no choice but to sell themselves into slavery.

After walking around the entire slave market, Mingxiu only found two young girls who could read and were quite pleasing to the eye.

"Xiu'er, why are you buying a little girl who can read?"

Ming's mother really couldn't see the idea of ​​​​transparent show. It was easy to talk to the man who wanted to read. After all, several people had to be sent to take care of the store for Ming's father.

That woman...

Even though Ming's mother was a woman herself, she acknowledged the importance of women's literacy, but she didn't understand why Mingxiu required the servants in her family to also be literate.

In her opinion, those girls were just doing chores at home, and there was really no need to learn to read or anything like that.

"Of course I bought it to be a cook." Mingxiu didn't understand why Ming's mother was confused, "Mom, you can't spend your whole life in the kitchen."

Ming's mother has been busy all her life, but now she is old and does not enjoy much happiness. She has been working all the time. As a daughter, how can Mingxiu not feel distressed?

But there has never been a good solution before. After all, the conditions of the family are such that everyone must work, otherwise they will be too busy and cannot even guarantee their livelihood. How can they enjoy happiness?

Now that she can live a good life, Mingxiu certainly wants to make her mother more comfortable and live a leisurely retirement life of growing flowers and vegetables.

"……Fine."

Ming's mother actually doesn't think cooking is a tiring job. In fact, she enjoys a tiring life, which makes her feel fulfilled and feels that she is still a useful person even when she is older.

But after all, it was her daughter's caution, and Ming's mother couldn't bear to refuse.

In the end, the mother and daughter bought a family, including an elderly mother-in-law, a middle-aged man and a woman, and a young girl and boy. In addition, there were a few waiters who showed Ming's father the store. They were all literate, Mingxiu.

They look pretty good. Although these people are not yet able to take charge of their own business, if they are trained for a year or two, they should be able to retire.

Finally, there is the young girl who can read.

After browsing the entire slave market, there were only five suitable ones. When I walked out, I saw the restless ones with wandering eyes, so I bought three.

A literate slave was much more expensive than an illiterate slave, but seeing that it was worth the money, Mingxiu didn't say anything.

After taking these people to buy cloth and food, I rented two cars to take them back.

When the large group of people arrived home, many villagers from Mudan Village came out to watch the fun.

Their family had just moved here not long ago, and they were basically unfamiliar with each other. They didn't even know the basic conditions of the Ming family. They only knew that a couple moved here with a girl.

Now that they see how wealthy their families are, some families with many children are moved.

Mingxiu's appearance was good, and her family's conditions were even more favorable in Mudan Village. When she first moved here, many people inquired about her marriage, but most of them were put off by Ming's mother saying she was marrying into the family.

Now seeing that their family is actually filled with landlord-like figures, those who had given up their thoughts began to become more lively again.

Such a wealthy family will marry into the family. Even if one son is given away, the other sons will still be able to benefit from it in the future, right?

In the past few days after settling down in their house, more and more people began to inquire about Mingxiu.

But that’s all for another day.

Mingxiu and Ming's mother took the people home. They needed to make their own clothes and bedding. Fortunately, the beds were ready-made, otherwise they would have to make the floor for a few days.

Needlework is a compulsory course for girls. Not every girl is like Mingxiu and does not need to learn needlework.

Simple quilting is extremely easy for these girls.

After the bedding is made, people can be allocated to help Ming's mother cook.

The young daughter-in-law was very frightened when she saw that her master was about to start cooking.

"Madam, let me cook the food. Madam can go and rest."

How can servants like them have the luck to enjoy the master's handicrafts?

We have just arrived, and no one knows what the owner of the house is like, so we have to be careful, right?

Ming's mother looked back and smiled softly, "It's okay, let your mother-in-law light the fire, and you can help."

The daughter-in-law has no name and is only called Sanniang. The same goes for her mother-in-law, who is only called Yuan Pozi and her name is unknown.

Except for those who often follow him, Mingxiu has no intention of changing the name of every servant.

Although Sanniang was frightened, she did not dare to resist her master's wishes, so she could only accept it with worry.

Even though Ming's mother was kind, she had no intention of cooking for these servants. After preparing the meals for her family, she gave up the kitchen and let Sanniang operate by herself.

Compared with Mingxiu's desire to train those little girls to be cooks, Ming's mother actually preferred Sanniang in her heart.
