“Zhang Shu helps with the heavy work outside.”
Ye Muyu moved her lips, but before she could say anything, Chu Heng walked to the front and reached out to put the hair on her cheek behind her ear. ‘Your health is not good. Doctor Lu said that you need to rest for at least half a year. I’m busy with my exams in this half a year, so I’m afraid I won’t have time to take care of you.”
“I have already discussed this matter with Mother.”
After Chu Heng finished speaking, he looked at Madam Liu.
Seeing her son like this, Madam Liu felt a little jealous. This child said that he wanted to get a divorce previously. He was probably lying to her!
However, she felt comfortable getting along with Madam Ye. Moreover, she also had a husband. Naturally, she only wanted to roll her eyes at her son.
“Third Daughter-in-law, that’s right. Old Third told me about this. I thought that since the other Elementary Scholars have already bought servants, it’s not a big deal for Old Third to buy them.”
“With two servants, I won’t have to worry about you getting into trouble in the future.”
“Alright, that’s it. Take the things in first. We still have to make lunch later.”
Ye Muyu felt a little helpless. Why had Chu Heng not mentioned this to her before? However, in front of Madam Liu, she naturally would not say anything.
“Mother, I understand.”
“You guys move the things in first,” Ye Muyu said to Zhang Shu and his wife. The couple quickly nodded and continued to help move the things without delay.
It took a long time to move just a dozen jars of wine.
“Old Third, why did you buy so much wine?” Madam Liu could not help but ask.
“It won’t be long before the Dragon Boat Festival. I need it to give people or entertain guests. I bought it together.”
“Alright, I’ll go make lunch.” Madam Liu said, “Be careful when moving.”
After everything was moved in, Zhang Shu and Madam Hu entered the central room and stood in front of Ye Muyu.
“Madam.” The two of them bowed.
The two children also bowed. The older son was called Zhang Cong, and the younger daughter was called Nenya.
Ye Muyu first asked about the family’s background.
“Replying to Madam, my family suffered from a flood eight years ago. Without food and land, I could only leave my hometown. When I arrived at South Origin Prefecture, my daughter was seriously ill. In order to treat her illness, I had no choice but to sell myself.”
“We don’t have any other relatives either. Thank you, Master and Madam, for accepting our family.”
In fact, unless it was a big family, very few people were willing to buy a family. After all, the two children were not old and needed to eat.
As for wealthy families, they rarely bought a family. After all, the children would not be their biological children, so their loyalty was limited.
Zhang Shu’s family was used to doing rough work and looked old. Therefore, for so many years, they had been wandering around in ordinary people’s homes.
Many times, the employer was from the countryside.
They were also very happy that Chu Heng had bought them, because in the hands of a human, they did not have enough to eat or wear, and they had to work.
When Ye Muyu heard that Zhang Shu and his wife had sold themselves to treat their daughter’s illness, she had already decided to keep them.
The servant did not have to be that capable, but they had to be kind by nature and not betray their master.
Ye Muyu asked a few more questions, and Zhang Shu answered honestly.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Ye Muyu had seen a servant in this era. It had to be said that there were very few servants like those in novels. At least, they were engraved in the bones of Zhang Shu and his wife. They would listen to the orders of their master without thinking. They would not ask too much, not think too much, and they would not have second thoughts.
He was very clear about his identity as a servant..
