Chapter 495: Questioning
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Madam Wang had no time to care about what the villagers thought.
As soon as she returned, she saw that the courtyard was actually filled with all kinds of meat.
Old Madam Wang almost had nowhere to rest her feet.
Old Madam Wang named the two coachmen. One was Chang Fu, and the other was Chang Shun.
Chang Fu and Chang Shun watched helplessly as their master asked them to drive the carriage from the city to the town and then from the town to the village.
The further they went, the colder their hearts became.
They knew that their new masters were farmers. They already knew this from the family’s daily chat.
However, they didn’t expect it to be such a poor and backward place.
There wasn’t even a courier station around. Looking from afar, there wasn’t even a big house.
The road in the village was flat, but it was not paved with stone.
It was a plain and simple dilapidated village.
What made them feel the most despair was that Wang Chuanfu told them that there was no carriage at home, only donkey carts and mule carts.
In the future, the two of them would drive donkey carts and mule carts.
Both of them sighed.
They were big caters to begin with. Now that they’d come to the village, it was clear that the master’s family would be poor. How could they spare another mouthful of rice for them to cat?
They would probably starve to death in a few days.
However, now that the two of them walked into the master’s house and realized that their courtyard was filled with meat, the surprise in their hearts was naturally self-evident.
With so much meat, it seemed that their master was not from a poor family.
How relieving.
They would not starve to death.
Old Madam Wang circled around the meat and asked Chang Fu and Chang Shun to take out everything in the carriage.
The Wang Family was also very curious to see these two new servants.
Other than Tang Yuan, this was the first time their family had some properly bought servants.
However, no matter how they looked at it, these two servants looked decent and did not look like typical servants.
Chang Fu smiled and said, “I used to be a steward in the farmstead. Later on, when the main family declined, I went to a new residence and worked as a coachman for two years. The new residence fell, so I came here.”
Chang Shun’s story was about the same. In a nutshell, the two of them had some ability.
It was just that if one ate too much, their bodies would be weaker than people who performed manual labor.
During the process of being sold, they even fell seriously ill and their bodies were a little weak, so they weren’t bought by anyone.
The two of them also told Old Madam Wang about this situation. Old Madam Wang used this opportunity to lower the price, so she could buy them so cheaply.
Otherwise, if one of them could manage the manor and the other could restrain his subordinates, they would not be able to buy them for just two taels of silver.
Old Madam Wang planned to observe the two of them. If they were really loyal in the future, she would let them stay and use them properly.
She would hand them to the children to practice and let them learn how to manage servants.
As for Ah Yu, she had to start searching for someone to stay by her side.
Since she wanted to marry that kid from the Qin Family, she had to nurture her own people in the future. The Qin Family was a big family in Great Chang.
In Wanning City, only the royal family dared to have the surname Qin.
If she married into a much stronger family, it would not be good for her. Unless their Wang Family managed to rise up before Ah Yu married Qin Huai.
At the very least, they had to stand high enough so that Qin Huai would not dare to let her down in the future.
At this moment, Old Madam Wang only buried these plans in her heart and did not tell anyone.
When Little Ah Yu saw that Old Madam Wang had returned, she was overjoyed. She kept circling Old Madam Wang and even wanted to check if she had lost weight.
“Alright, hurry up and take a look at what Grandma bought for you.” Old
Madam Wang smiled and pulled Little Ah Yu away. She held her hand and went into the house.
The rest of the Wang Family hurriedly packed their things.
With the arrival of the two servants, Wang Dalang accepted the situation the best.
When Wang Dalang heard that Chang Fu used to be a steward, he went to ask him for guidance. “Uncle Fu, you used to be a steward. There’s something I want to ask you.”
Chang Fu hurriedly said, “Young Master, you’re being too polite. If there’s anything, just instruct me.”
Wang Dalang said, “I just want to ask you, if an ordinary farmer marries a registrar’s daughter, is there anything to take note of?”
Wang Dalang had been holding these words in his heart for a long time..
