Chapter 183 Father Su is Here
"Okay, let's go now." The two children answered, and ran away.

Su Wan sat down at the table in the courtyard.

Not long after, several victims arrived.

These victims, including Xi'er and two children, totaled eight people.

Among them, there are two couples. The two children belong to these two couples. They are surnamed Wang and Ding respectively. They are not from the same village, and they got together when they fled.

There is another boy, only about 14 years old, his name is Changsheng, and the other is Xier.

The situation of Changsheng and Xi'er is similar. Their family members died in the last flood, and now they are all alone.

Compared with Xi'er, Changsheng will look a lot more dull and doesn't talk much, but he still has his duty.

Two days ago, Xi'er was arranged by her to work in the workshop to help make preserved eggs, and she has been working for two days now. According to Zhenzhen and the others, the girl is very nimble and diligent in doing things.

As for the remaining few people, she also learned from the servants and Aunt Chen that these people are still doing their jobs, and the meals during this period are all cooked by a few people.

They did not become lazy or wait for someone to take care of them for granted because they had a place of refuge.

Cooking, chopping firewood, fetching water, and sweeping for sanitation, they did it in an orderly manner, without Aunt Chen's intervention at all.

Aunt Chen also told her that these people have a sense of propriety, and they didn't squander and waste just because there was food in the village. I am reluctant to throw it away, and will keep it for the second meal.

Apart from the information from a few people, Su Wan actually observed it herself.

Although her preserved egg workshop is still in its infancy, she is very cautious when it comes to employing people.

She will not lower her standards just because the other party is a disaster victim.

After all, it involves her prescription.

If any of them were restless or had dirty hands and feet, it would be tantamount to luring wolves into the house, which would cause her a great loss.

And through observation during this period, she also found that these people are simple and law-abiding people, so she also decided to let them stay in the village and give them a job.

After a while, if the Aaron brothers come, they will take care of them.

Several people naturally knew that Xi'er had been favored by Su Wan and stayed in the village to work, so they were all envious, but also anxious and worried.

After all, it was hard for them to get this shelter, and they had three meals a day with hot meals and hot dishes.

Thinking of the hardships of escaping from Lizhou and fleeing all the way to the capital, they all cherished the present moment, and they also hoped that Su Wan could let them work here.

Now being called by Su Wan to speak, they were very nervous and afraid, fearing that they would be kicked out.

So when they got to the courtyard and saw Su Wan, they all lowered their heads, not daring to speak casually.

Su Wan glanced at a few people and said, "I called you over today, you must have guessed what I'm going to say..."

However, before she finished speaking, several people knelt down with a plop, and rushed to say: "Madam Fu, please don't drive us away...

"We really have nowhere to go..."

"We will work for you, we won't eat and drink for free..."

Hearing what they said, Su Wan paused for a moment before saying: "Actually, working in this village is not easy. There may be endless work every day, and it will be very tiring."

"We are not afraid of being tired. We are all from poor families. We used to be used to working at home..." Among the few people, the older Mr. and Mrs. Wang said hastily.

Several other people also agreed, "Yes, we are not afraid of being tired, as long as Madam is willing to give us a bite of food, we don't need to pay us..."

Su Wan saw several people's sincere words, so she continued: "Besides, you have to sign a contract to work in the village, if any of you violate the rules, you will be kicked out, you should think carefully about it.

Because working on my farm is not as free and easy as you think, everything must be subject to arrangements, and you cannot do it by yourself. "

The few people hardly hesitated, they nodded their heads and said: "We are willing to sell ourselves to Madam, and we will definitely abide by the rules and keep our duty in the future..."

Su Wan heard the words, and said: "I don't want you to sell yourself to me, but I just want you to sign a work contract. During the working period in the village, everything must be subject to the arrangement of the master. Anything that the master has not ordered is not to be done." You can make your own claims, can you do it?"

They were a little disappointed when they heard that there was no need to sell themselves to her.

After going through that dark period of suffering, they were more willing to sell themselves to Su Wan, even if they were made slaves, they were willing.

At the very least, there is food and drink here, they don't have to go hungry or cold, and there is a place for them to stay.

"We can do it." Several people said firmly.

"Okay, then perform well. If you do a good job, you will not only be paid, but also rewarded. On the other hand, if you violate the rules of the village, you will definitely not be able to keep it." Su Wan said.

"We will definitely abide by the rules." Several people kowtowed to Su Wan excitedly.

"Get up quickly." Although Su Wan wanted to shock them, she was very sorry for being kneeled and knocked by them, so she quickly reached out to help them.

Several people are very excited.

From then on, they all had a place to stay.

They swore secretly in their hearts that they would work hard and not let Mrs. Fu down.

Next, Su Wan arranged errands for several people.

The two women were temporarily arranged to do cleaning and cooking errands in the village, while the other three men, Su Wan decided to arrange for them to go shopping with Xiao Ling.

Because those materials need to be carried or carried by people, which is heavy work.

Xiaoling had to ask for help before.

Now that there are three people, there is no need to invite them from the outside. You can let the three people do it directly.

The affairs in the village were arranged in this way, everyone performed their duties, the village was neat and orderly, and the workshop was also operating stably.

After a few days passed peacefully, Si Xian suddenly came to the village on this day.

Su Wan was a little surprised, "Why is Steward Si here, but what's going on in the mansion?"

Si Xian said excitedly: "Madam's father is here."

Su Wan was startled, Father Su is here?

She was very surprised, but quickly calmed down and asked, "Then... where is my father?"

"I see that Master Su is not in good health, so I arranged for him to rest in the mansion and did not let him come to the manor." Si Xian said immediately.

Su Wan heard the words, put down the work in hand, "I'll go back with you."

Wang and Fu Zhenzhen were very happy when they heard that Su's father had come, and they both put down their work and wanted to go back with her.

Su Wan didn't stop her, because this was the first time she saw Su's father, if she was allowed to meet alone, she was afraid of showing her feet.

With Wang Shi and Fu Zhenzhen around, it can also buffer.

The three packed up and followed Si Xian back to the Prime Minister's residence.
