Chapter 525: 525 in charge

Especially after the division of the family estate, without the suppression of the He family, their behavior became even more excessive.

Fortunately, Qingzhi was now living in the main house, otherwise, who knows what kind of shape she would have been worn down to by Zhao’s grinding in the future!

Ye Jiu breezed past and quickly picked out a total of 20 girls, all aged between 15 and 17.

The reason was that Ye Jiu required unmarried girls, and those who were a bit older were almost all married. Or they were sold along with their entire families, which did not meet Ye Jiu’s criteria.

And for this category of people, Madam Zhu didn’t let them come out at all.

After the maids were selected, Ye Jiu used the same method to choose four capable older maids for cooking.

After all, the people Sikong Mo provided were skilled in martial arts; such talents holed up in the kitchen were truly a waste, and besides, Ye Jiu had bigger uses for them.

While Ye Jiu was busy selecting people, Madam Zhu was already smiling so widely she couldn’t close her mouth.

Very fortunate indeed, she hadn’t offended this young lady.

It really wasn’t apparent that this young lady, despite her tender years, could be so decisive in picking people, and most importantly, she was a big customer.

With this in mind, Madam Zhu stepped forward, "Miss, if you are looking for people who are literate, I still have a few stewards from large households that have been put up for sale. It’s just that the price is a bit high, and I don’t know if the young miss would be interested."

"Those put up for sale by large households, wouldn’t they have character issues?" Ye Jiu wondered.

"That’s not the case. It’s just that the master’s family has declined and can no longer employ so many people, so they’ve put some up for sale to supplement the household expenses and reduce some costs," Madam Zhu explained.

As for those with character issues, indeed there were some, and their prices were low, but Madam Zhu generally seldom introduced them to customers.

After all, she was in this for the long haul, and reputation was of utmost importance; any problems with people she sold would also affect future business at her establishment.

Hearing Madam Zhu’s explanation, Ye Jiu felt quite satisfied.

"First, bring the people out for me to see," Ye Jiu said.

"Right," Madam Zhu answered.

Turning her head, Madam Zhu led several people out, "These three all come from the same household. They were in charge of the shops, literate and capable of accounting; however, they each have families to care for, and I don’t know if you might do them the kindness of letting their families stay together."

Even those involved in human trafficking were not all bad people, and it was often just a matter of being compelled by the struggles of life.

Just like Madam Zhu, there wasn’t much else she could do to help these people, the only thing was to speak well of them and try as much as possible to keep their families together.

However, that said, if the master did not agree, then she was powerless to do anything.

After all, she was in business, and with so many people to feed, they needed to eat.

"I beg the master to be kind and allow these humble folks to reunite as a family," Madam Zhu had barely finished speaking when the three stewards knelt down together.

Looking at their ages, all of them were over thirty or forty, and as for the family members at home, it was unclear how many there were.

However, since Ye Jiu intended to buy them, she couldn’t bear to watch another family get separated.

But she still had to say what needed to be said, "I can allow your families to reunite, but I have one demand, and that is your loyalty. If you can do that, bring your family members and follow me. If not, then stay here; otherwise, once you are in my hands, I am not so easy to bully in the face of a traitor."
