After leaving the slave market, Yao Zhi brought them to the horse market and picked up her donkey cart. She paid 5 wen as the fee.
Since her cart was small, not everyone could sit on it. So, she turned to the won and children. "n will be walking. The rest of you, get on the cart."
The slaves were taken aback by their new Master’s generosity. Since they didn’t dare to delay their Master, they climbed into the cart and sat down.
Yao Zhi and Xi Yi sat in the driver’s seat and drove the cart. The rest of the slaves were strong enough to walk. With so many people sitting on the cart, Xiao Lu’s speed slowed down.
It took them one hour to reach the village.
The mont they entered the village, several villagers saw them. One of them even raised her voice and asked, "Yao Girl, who are these people?"
Yao Zhi slowed down the donkey cart and replied, "Granny Yang, these are people I hired to take care of the farmland. They will be guarding the farmland and living there for the long term."
When Granny Yang heard this, she asked again, "Aren’t you already asking Dalang to take care of your farmland? Why did you hire so many people? It’s a waste of money!"
"Brother Dalang will be responsible for managing the farmland, but I still need people to take care of the crops. We need to water and fertilize the crops frequently and pull the weeds. I can’t depend on Brother Dalang alone."
Granny Yang clicked her tongue and said, "Yao Girl, you can ask the villagers for help. Why spend so much money hiring others?"
Yao Zhi understood her aning. She wanted her to let the villagers earn money and was unwilling to let outsiders get the opportunity. Unfortunately, the villagers couldn’t work for the long term, so they couldn’t force her to hire them and disregard her farmland.
This ti, Yao Zhi didn’t give her the response she wanted and said, "Granny Yang, I still have matters at ho, so I won’t chat with you anymore."
As soon as she finished her words, she nudged Xiao Lu’s back. Her donkey was smart and hastened its speed.
When they arrived at her ho, it was already 1 o’clock in the afternoon. She drove the cart to the backyard and said, "This is my house. From today onwards, all of you will be staying here."
The slaves were stunned when they saw the mud house. They thought that their new Master was wealthy, but looking at her house, they realized that they were wrong.
Not knowing their disappointnt, Yao Zhi turned to the male slaves and said, "There is a well in the front yard. You all take a bath first."
Then, she turned to the won and children and continued, "As for you, you can take a bath at Xi Yi’s room."
"All of you, follow ," Xi Yi said and led them to her room.
After Yao Zhi put the cart away and led Xiao Lu to the shed, she returned to her room. She opened her system’s shop and bought sumr clothes for her newly bought servants.
Each set of clothes costs 50 points, underwear costs 2 points, and shoes cost 50 points a pair. She bought three sets of underwear, three sets of sumr clothes, and a pair of shoes for each of the servants. She spent a total of 6,798 points on them.
When she was done, she took them out of her system’s storage and waited in her room.
It was only after there was no more water splashing coming from outside that she opened the door and said, "Co in."
The male servants were taken aback, but they didn’t dare to go against their Master. So, after they wiped their bodies with their old clothes, they walked into the room.
Yao Zhi left the door wide open and said, "These are clothes and shoes for you and your family. Each person gets three sets of clothes, three sets of underwear, and one pair of shoes."
"For now, you all have to make do and sleep in the woodshed first. After we build the room for you, you can move out of the woodshed."
They were happy to receive new clothes and had no objection to her arrangent. Before they left, they heard Yao Zhi say, "After changing your clothes, go to the kitchen."
"Understood."
After sending them away, Yao Zhi went to the kitchen and cooked a big pot of egg and vegetable porridge for them. Judging from their condition, the slave broker must have been starving them for a long ti.
She couldn’t give them heavy or greasy food to avoid upsetting their stomachs, so she could only give them light food first. Besides porridge, she also boiled a pot of milk.
Since she used water mixed with spiritual spring, she didn’t add more to the food.
40 minutes later, the servants followed Xi Yi and stood outside. Inside, Yao Zhi had already finished preparing the food and said, "Xi Yi, help distribute the food and milk to them."
Xi Yi nodded. "Yes, Master."
She turned to them and said, "Line up and take your food."
The servants knew that she was soone their Master valued and trusted, so they listened to her. They lined up and entered the kitchen in an orderly manner.
When they received a bowl of egg and vegetable porridge, their eyes widened in joy. But when they saw that each of them also received a cup of milk, they finally burst into tears.
Seeing them suddenly crying, Yao Zhi was startled. "What are you crying for? Even if you don’t like milk, you have to finish it," Yao Zhi said sternly.
The servants quickly knelt down when they heard this and said, "We didn’t dare."
After a mont of pause, a young man said, "Master, this is a tear of joy. Since my parents sold as a servant, this is the first ti I can eat such good food."
