The middle-aged broker looked at this family, young and old, his eyes twinkling.
He cautiously stepped forward and said, "Esteed guests, his na is Li San, and this is his family... quite honest and diligent. They have always been guarding this Manor and working here. If you decide to keep them, then I can transfer their indenture contract to you..."
He had intended to ask for so money, but upon reflection, selling them wasn’t easy here, especially since the family included both old and young mbers, as well as a cripple and soone ill. Keeping them might just backfire on him.
How much food would these ten people consu over the winter? Furthermore, with sick mbers... if one were to die, it would bring bad luck.
Since there wasn’t much money involved anyway, he thought it might be better to do a favor...
The robust man... that is, Li San, upon hearing these words, quickly kowtowed... hoping to secure a livelihood for his family.
After all, the master in front of them seed very kind-hearted.
Rong Yan looked at this family and also noticed the anxiety and nervousness on their faces.
Just as she was about to speak, soone tugged at her sleeve.
Rong Yan looked down to see Rong Jin looking up at her... her face clearly expressing pity and compassion.
She had been about to decide to keep them anyway.
After all, by looking at their faces... they didn’t seem to be the deceitful type.
And she indeed needed more hands for work.
"You may stay, but I do not tolerate deceit. If I catch any..."
Her eyes narrowed, and her aura completely changed.
Li San and his family, upon hearing they could stay, were overjoyed.
They hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude: "Thank you, master. Please rest assured, none of my family are that kind of people."
Rong Yan felt sowhat uncomfortable with their constant kowtowing, "Alright, you can get up now. Clean up this place, I will co by again tomorrow." After all, acquiring the Manor was a settled matter, and they could clean it thoroughly.
Actually, there was no need to clean, as the main courtyard seed pretty tidy, likely because the family had been cleaning it.
It seed that even in the absence of a family head, they had not forgotten their duties.
This improved her impression of them.
"Thank the master," Li San and his family slowly got up, by now, there was no trace of hardship on their faces.
They were truly grateful to God.
Grateful for a kind-hearted master.
Rong Yan glanced at them and then said, "Let’s go."
With that said, she walked out followed by the respectful gazes of Li San and his family.
The Rong siblings got into the carriage.
Hu Dao said to those inside the carriage, "Miss, I can handle the transfer of registration. That way, you need not bother going yourself."
Rong Yan, upon hearing this, thought it over and agreed.
After all, there was no need for her to personally attend to everything.
"Fine, I’ll give you the silver later."
Hu Dao: "..."
Carrying over six hundred taels of silver on one’s person?
He soon realized she must be talking about a silver note.
Just as he understood, he heard the person inside the carriage say, "I’ll go get the silver from the mansion later."
Hu Dao: "...okay!"
He turned to look at the middle-aged broker, "After we return to town, just go directly to the governnt office and wait; don’t forget to bring the indenture contract of Li San and his family."
The middle-aged broker hurriedly replied, "Rest assured! I will bring everything required."
He didn’t even dare to ask for a deposit now.
After all... they seed like they’d buy the Manor, not like people who would back out at the last mont.
Even if they did, there was nothing he could do.
