Lin yuelan looked at the twelve or thirteen people behind the man. There were two or three young ladies with soft skin and tender flesh. Besides looking a little haggard, there were also two or three patients who looked like they were beyond cure because they had not been treated in time.
Lin yuelan replied straightforwardly, “Sure. As long as they can work, listen to me, and have the right awareness that they’ll be working for me, it’s fine.” Lin yuelan pointed at the young ladies and young masters behind the man and said.
When the three men heard this, their faces immediately turned livid with anger. One of them looked at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and his face flushed red. He shouted at Lin yuelan in anger, ” you … You’re going too far.”
Lin yuelan looked at the furious young man with a faint smile and said lightly, ” I’ll give you a chance to be free if you want it. However, you should know that any freedom has a prerequisite and a price.
“I’m not a philanthropist. Since I’ve paid the price to get you, you should have the right awareness because you’re no longer the young masters with servants and servants!”
Lin yuelan said sharply.
“So, whether you want to be free after becoming a slave or become a servant who can’t lift his head for the rest of his life, that’s your own choice.”
The three men were embarrassed and angry, but they couldn’t refute Lin yuelan’s words.
What Lin yuelan said was the truth. They were no longer high and mighty young masters who had people serving them.
They had no meaning in resisting unless they chose to die and end all this pain.
However, if they died, they would really lose everything.
But they wanted to live.
The three of them didn’t dare to make a sound. They could only lower their heads and remain silent with red faces.
The man glanced at them and said to Lin yuelan, ” as long as I’m here, they must be obedient and loyal to you.”
“Big brother!” The three men looked at the man with wide eyes.
The man’s sharp eyes glared at his three siblings, and he shouted sternly, ” don’t you know the situation we’re in?”
The three siblings lowered their heads again and could only stand there uneasily and helplessly.
Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” alright. I’ll hire all of you. As for the premise, of course, it was enough as long as these people could recognize their own identities. And I can guarantee that I’ll cure all of their illnesses!”
When the man heard Lin yuelan’s words, he was obviously a little emotional. He said, ” thank you. I, Wu Jinxia, will be loyal to the master, even if it costs me ten thousand lives!”
Lin yuelan nodded before asking Zhou Wencai, “I’ll get them all!”
Zhou Wencai looked at the family’s master and servant. Not only were they old, weak, sick, and disabled, but there were also these young masters with delicate skin and tender flesh. Could they be used for work?
Zhou Wencai’s mind was filled with puzzlement as he persuaded Lin yuelan, ” sister yuelan, why don’t you consider it again? these people…” although he didn’t finish his sentence, everyone present understood.
These people would be useless and a waste of money.
When acquiring laborers, one didn’t necessarily have to buy a whole family. Most families would choose people according to their needs, such as young and strong men or beautiful maidservants. If a family had both young and old members, they might even go their separate ways and never see each other again!
Such an ending was the most unacceptable, most painful, and most helpless!
This was because the laborers did not have the power to decide whether they were a family or an individual.
Therefore, upon hearing Zhou Wen’s dissuasion, everyone except Wu Jinxia looked at Lin yuelan nervously. They were really afraid that she would abandon them and separate them.
The people looked at Lin yuelan nervously.
In his heart, he was crying bitterly, ‘if I knew this would happen, I would have kept quiet. What if she only wants Big brother and doesn’t want us?’
Lin yuelan scanned the family’s expressions before rejecting Zhou Wencai’s good intentions. She shook her head gently and said, ” there’s no need to be picky. Since I promised him, I won’t go back on my word. If they still have other thoughts after following me, I, Lin yuelan, have plenty of ways to deal with them.”
