On the way home, Qiao Xuan smiled at Shao Yunduan. "When Aunt Yuezheng heard about our business at the Zhang Village, she said that we ought to buy some servants simply because we are going to have much to deal with and we need to cultivate people for the future…"
Shao Yunduan nodded. "Yeah we should do so."
Qiao Xuan frowned. "But that is not very easy to do. It is never easy to find people who are reliable."
"Let's take it slow." Shao Yunduan smiled. "We can visit the province in spring and check it out. We can hire some reliable employees to sign a contract for 10-15 years. In this way, we will have some people working for us in the long term."
Qiao Xuan's eyes sparkled. "Yeah, true! As long as we are able to afford the laborers, we can always get good ones."
She thought for a while and smiled. "We can even ask Aunt Yuezheng to help us as the middle person. With her around, I am sure we can hire better ones."
Shao Yunduan nodded and smiled. "Yeah, there are a few tenants who seem nice. If they want, we can hire them and sign a contract with them for 10 years or more."
Qiao Xuan felt assured when this issue was solved.
Otherwise, she was really wondering what she should do in the long-term. They needed to hire the local villagers, otherwise there would be conflicts.
But if they all hired people from the Zhang Village, there would be the possibility that they ganged up together to create trouble.
If something happened, they could handle that, but the trouble was after all trouble, and it should be avoided in all probability.
So, they needed to work it out in a good way.
If they bought the employees, they could just work together with the tenants who were not from the Zhang Village. Then, they could select some good ones from the Zhang Village, so that they could maintain a balance for future development.
At the Yuezheng Family in the province.
Ms. Mi Junior was used to reading people's thoughts. She believed that the first section of the family would never cause any trouble because they always wanted to keep Old Master steady.
She was already used to that.
Therefore, she was bold enough to spread the rumor through her maid.
In her opinion, there was no point in fearing that the first section of the family would get to know about her deeds. It was always going to be forgiven anyway, wasn't it?
It was the first section of the family who wanted to stay away from trouble.
Therefore, when Ms. Jin spoke of the investigation and got support from Madame Yuezheng, Ms. Mi Junior did not really care.
She felt that Madame Yuezheng was just saying that casually and Ms. Jin was not as strong as she looked.
She would not dare to cause any trouble! She would not want the first section of the family to be disturbed. Honestly, she herself was the senior person at the mansion and it was not so easy to pick on her.
Since Ms. Mi Junior did not care, Ms. Jin had no trouble finding the clues leading to Auntie Shuixiu, who was working for Ms. Mi Junior.
Ms. Jin ordered Shuixiu and some other older maids who were close to Ms. Mi Junior to be taken to Madame Yuezheng's yard, where she told Madame Yuezheng the truth.
Madame Yuezheng was dumbfounded as well..
