“You’ve worked hard. I should have come over to see everyone. I’m sorry.” Lin Xiaoyue bowed to everyone.
“Madam, you’re too kind!” Seeing this, everyone hurriedly returned the greeting.
They had never expected the general’s wife to actually apologize and bow to them.
After coming to the Liu residence, some of them were indeed worried.
They were afraid that Madam would not come to the Liu residence because she did not value them and thought that they were useless.
At the moment, who would still feel that way?
Madam’s thoughts were pure and kind. She did not treat them as outsiders.
“All of you should recuperate in the Liu residence. After you recover, Head Fang will make arrangements.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
When Head Fang heard this, he bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
“Madam!” Suddenly, a soldier with a broken leg shouted at Lin Xiaoyue.
After Lin Xiaoyue looked over, she quickly lowered her head.
“May 1 know what’s the plan for us?” Then, he asked Lin Xiaoyue.
All of a sudden, all the injured in the room looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
Then, she smiled.
“What do you want to do after you recover?” Then, she asked with a smile.
This smile dispersed the tense atmosphere a little.
The soldier raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
“I… I want to work at the manor like the others.” He pleaded.
Lin Xiaoyue paused.
Then, she looked at the other patients who were looking at her nervously.
Then, she smiled.
“At the manor, the most important thing is to farm. It’s not easy.” He said.
She seemed to understand what Mr. Xu had said earlier. These injured people were actually afraid.
They were afraid of becoming useless.
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it.
Thinking about it, other than food and daily necessities, she had to take care of them. Perhaps, she had to come up with a plan for their future arrangements as soon as possible.
Only then could they feel at ease.
“I’m not afraid of hard work! Madam, 1 want to go to Zhou Manor! My big brother is in the Zhou manor. I want to go with him!” The soldier said hurriedly.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.
“Alright, when your injuries are healed, I’ll ask Head Fang to arrange for you to go to the Zhou manor.”
“T-thank you, Madam!” The soldier quickly thanked her.
Everyone was shocked.
“Madam, me too!”
“I want to go to Meng Manor!”
“I want to go to Mao’er Manor!”
All the injured rushed to Lin Xiaoyue.
They were afraid that if they missed this opportunity, they would not be able to go to the manor and live with the other members of the Nangong Army.
Lin Xiaoyue stretched out her hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
It didn’t work.
Then, Head FAng stood up and looked at everyone with a dark face.
Fear appeared on everyone’s faces, and they all fell silent.
Lin Xiaoyue motioned for Head Fang to step back. She took a step forward, smiled, and continued to speak.
“Everyone, please focus on recuperating. I will discuss with Head Fang in the next few days and discuss the plan.”
“Head Fang will also ask for everyone’s opinions and arrange the most suitable place for everyone.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at everyone.
“Now, Liu’s Express and the manors are in need of manpower.”
“We will work on the wasteland and farm. In the future, we will have to collect chili peppers, process them, set up a farm, and open a workshop…”
“The chain stores have also started construction. Next, they needed manpower to buy ingredients, prepare skewers, and make the snacks.”
“As long as you are willing to contribute, I will not let you be idle.”
As soon as Lin Xiaoyue said this, everyone seemed to have taken a calming pill.. They looked at each other with joy on their faces.
“Besides, there’s pay for everyone.”
“Although the first half of the year is tight, the wages will be recorded.
However, after half a year, everyone’s wages would be distributed.”
“Also, in the future, the soldiers will have families and careers. Head Fang would also provide additional money as support.” Lin Xiaoyue continued.
When the soldiers heard this, their expressions changed.
“We are the people of the Nangong Army in life and death! It was only right to serve the General and Madam. Why talk about wages?! There’s no need to start a family!” A soldier suddenly said.
“Yes…” The others echoed.
Lin Xiaoyue did not get angry when she saw this. She exchanged a glance with Li Xiao and let him speak..
