the guts, come up here."She panted heavily, taking a few moments to catch her breath.Suddenly, the tree trunk beneath her jerked violently. She looked down.What the heck! This animal is insane, it's a...A group of people dressed in coarse cloth walked in one after another, possibly because of the visit of King Jing. The butler at the tooth line called almost no old, weak, sick or disabled people among the people he brought in.
They are all young and able-bodied, both male and female.
Their faces were all blank, they all knew what they were facing, an expression she was very familiar with.
Over the past three years, Jinshiu Mountain Villa has welcomed countless people who have been tortured by suffering to numbness.
Unless one is desperate, who would sell themselves or be sold by their family
Jing Wang's dental clinic should have better treatment than other places. Fang Jinshi observed carefully, although these people had numb expressions, the clothes they wore were almost clean and intact, and no one looked emaciated.
As merchandise, their treatment certainly wasn't good. Compared to what she had seen elsewhere, people here were much kinder.
“Look, the quality of these servants should be quite good. Is Mistress Fang satisfied”
Fāng Jǐnxiù turned her head and gave Xiǎoyuet an eye.
Xiao Yue immediately walked up to these people.
Today, our master is here to select people who can work on the farm. Those who know how to do farm work, please step forward and line up separately.
Xiaoyue finished speaking and stared at these people, observing their reactions.
These people didn't move right away. Only a few stood up without hesitation, while most just looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.
The steward saw this and was a little worried in his heart, these ignorant things.
He hurriedly added.
"What are you hesitating for Don't you always hope to have a good master choose you"
"The good master is right before your eyes, yet you are blind and still hesitate!"
There was a woman who was rather bold and seemed quite capable. She shouted loudly at the person in charge.
"Many of us here are used to working in wealthy households. We wouldn't know how to do farm work."
Many servants in the capital were like this, only knowing how to serve people. Some had probably never even seen what a farmland looked like, let alone done any farm work.
Some people born into families held a high social status from birth, second only to the master.
Many senior maids, despite holding the status of slaves, lived better lives than the daughters of minor officials.
After waiting for a while, not many people stood on the left side. There were less than ten people willing to be bought by Fang Jinshui to do farm work.
Little Yue was a little anxious.
"Although my master bought you to work the fields, life on the estate is definitely better than you imagine. It's not worse than serving other masters in wealthy households."
"You guys think about it carefully, going back with us you won't lose out at all."
Xiaoyue still lacked experience. The more she said, the lower these people kept their heads, refusing to look up.
The reason they didn't want to work on the farm was simply because it was tiring and dirty.
Xiaoyue shouted for a long time, and only two more people came out. She was anxious and turned her head to look at Fang Jinshu.
Fu Shangyuan asked, "Anyway, these people's contracts are all in my hands. As long as you want them, there's no need to get their consent. You can just take them away directly."
Fang Jinshi beckoned Xiao Yue to come back first.
"Didn't you say the person was bought to be trained"
"If they're not truly sincere and willing to go back with me willingly, wouldn't it be even more time-consuming and laborious to train them"
Fu Shangyuan raised an eyebrow and said nothing more. It seemed he had worried for nothing, this person already had a way to deal with it.
All the maids knew that Fang Jinshu was the one who had come to see them this time, and when she stood up, their expressions all trembled with fear, lest they be forcefully sold away.
Once you're in the teeth trade, you become powerless. Although outwardly, the teeth traders seem to have the power to refuse, as long as the buyer offers enough silver, their refusal means nothing.
Therefore, everyone buried their heads lower, some wishing they could shrink themselves entirely to reduce their presence.
"Well, well, everyone's so afraid of farm work, huh"
She changed her serious expression from before, smiling instead.
Fang Jinshui is beautiful, and when she smiles, she gives off a feeling of being approachable and harmless.
With this innocent and harmless smile, she managed to deceive many people.
When everyone saw that the mistress was so approachable and even smiled at them, they felt a little embarrassed. Especially the young men, Fang Jinshu just blushed as soon as she approached them.
One by one, their eyes flickered, wanting to look but afraid to meet her gaze.
"Could you please tell me why some of you don't want to work on the estate"
"Actually, I don't want to force anyone. I could forcibly buy you back, but each of you would be unwilling and wouldn't work hard on the farm. Then, I'd still have a headache."
"But I'm willing to hear everyone's opinions. We can discuss everything, right"gically, we should actively help the village dig it together.""But since everyone relies on my family's reputation for this matter, they wouldn't even bother to help when he might be missing.""We are...
