before when sister-in-law's room needed three maids to live in, that's why you guys had to sleep separately.""Let's work hard today and finish building the three girls' wooden houses. Then tonight y...Jin Yu and Xiao Yue looked at each other, feeling a bit apprehensive. Although Xiao Yue wasn't talkative, she was quick-witted and could tell that Fang Jinxiu wasn't the kind of master who would deliberately make things difficult for them. Let Jin Yu not be afraid.
The two of them followed her into the courtyard and stood there. While eating, Fang Jinshu thought about it - this wasn't the 21st century, true equality for all was impossible here.
She made Jin Yu and Xiao Yue sign a deed of sale before allowing them to stay. She didn't want them to think that enjoying the efforts of others came without consequences.
Human nature cannot withstand testing.
If she doesn't set boundaries early on, it won't be long before Xiaoyue and Jinyu start to feel like they have more power in this household.
However, no matter how long they stayed in this house, their status would never be the same as that of Mu Shi Zong Bai Yu Lian.
To maintain harmony in the household, Fang Jinshu had to adapt to local customs and set rules for the two of them beforehand.
"Since you have agreed to sign the indenture, I, a person accustomed to stating unpleasant matters upfront, will do so now."
“Since you have entered my home, you absolutely must not do anything to harm any of the masters in this house, nor can you betray us.”
"Thou shalt not steal, and thou shalt not speak ill of thine own people to outsiders."
"If you violate any of these rules, I will punish you accordingly based on the severity of the offense. The punishment could be anything from being forbidden to eat to being resold."
Hearing the two words "put up for sale," the two of them couldn't help but tighten their faces, and they huddled closer together.
Even though Jinxiu seemed easy to get along with, it turned out she had such a strict side. However, Jinyu always felt that she wasn't very afraid of Fang Jinxiu.
And I thought she made a good point.
They promised to sell themselves, there's no reason to treat themselves as equal to the master once they are in someone else's house.
Xiao Yue nodded directly without saying a word, "I have no problem, you promised me that you wouldn't let me sleep with any other man again."
"My life is yours to save, so don't talk about these demands. Even if you want my life, take it."
Fang Jinxiu's serious face almost couldn't hold on.
"What do you want with my life, I'm not a bandit who robs people."
The two young girls in front of her seemed to have better character than Chunlan. Therefore, Fang Jinshu's expression softened after just a moment of sternness.
That should be enough for now.
"Don't worry, just follow my rules and listen to me. I can't guarantee that following me will lead to a life of luxury and riches."
"Anyway, I can definitely make sure you all have enough to eat and wear. You won't have to worry about starving anymore."
"I won't force you to do anything you don't want to."
"As you can see, there's no one in my house who needs you two to wait on. Just listen to my arrangements and do your chores well."
Jinyu and Xiaoyue nodded in agreement. They thought this was all Fang Jinshu had to say. For the current times, they felt it was pretty good to be able to eat their fill and have warm clothes.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jinshu's words were cut short.
"I've never bought a maidservant before, so I don't know what kind of benefits other households offer their maids."
"Here with me, I can give you both thirty yuan a month, which is six months' worth every quarter, and two sets of new clothes."
Clothes should be made thick or thin according to the weather of each season.
"However, given the current circumstances, it's likely you'll have to sew these yourselves."
"Shoes and socks come with the uniforms, and there are two sets per quarter. If you need more, you'll have to pay out of pocket."
"As for your meals, you'll be eating with our family for now, but you can no longer eat at the table. You'll have to stay in the kitchen and eat separately."
"If you are sick, you can take leave to rest. You have two days of rest time each month, even if you are not sick."
"This title also needs to be changed."
"Just call my mother-in-law 'Old Madam,' and as for me, you can call me Boss or just Jinxiu."
My husband's name is Big Master, Zong Bai is called Second Master, and Yu Lian, you call her Miss. If Big Master, Second Master, and Miss have any opinions on the address, you can directly listen to their opinions and change the address.
"Well, that's all for now." had a very clear and smart mind.He immediately called out to his father."Father, even if you leave, you'll still take our family's silver. And An Tang is backed by the Zhao family. Even if the magist...
