Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

However, Long Guo was really anxious, if he did not take his father to the doctor then his father would definitely die! There was no way he could wait anymore.

Su Wan sighed softly, she had to admit that she was touched by this man\'s loyalty towards his family. If he wanted he could have lived a better life after leaving them behind but instead he stayed with them and was willing to face the harsh reality in front of him. This was quite good when compared to her father who left her alone in times of need.

She turned to look at the servant who was walking past the living hall and then called him, " Take him to physician Hou, tell him that I will pay for the treatment of this old gentleman." She then turned to look at the middle-aged man and said, " Physician Han is a retired imperial physician, I am sure he will be able to treat your father."

When Long Guo heard Su Wan\'s words, he felt like all his sufferings had finally come to an end. He lowered his head and then knocked his head on the floor before thanking Su Wan. He then picked up his father and carried him after the servant who asked Long Guo to follow after him.

Once he was gone, Su Wan turned to look at the remaining family members of the Long family. Though she did not show any dissatisfaction, Yi Ran was worried that she would be upset with what Long Guo did just now which was why she was very careful while introducing the rest of the family members of the Long family as well as the rest of the slaves.

Yi Ran smiled professionally as she tried her best, " This is Long Xun, he is the page boy about whom I was talking, he is well educated and knows how to grind ink and clean brushes. He also knows how to be well organized. His sister and mother as I have already told you, they are honest and hard-working."

" As for these two, they are siblings who were sold by their parents when they were really young. I did not sell them because they were too young to be sold and I did not want to do anything to them which would make them suffer. However now that they are grown up, I think it\'s time that they are sold."

Su Wan was a little bit satisfied when she heard that Yi Ran did not sell the two siblings. She nodded and then turned to look at two young boys before asking, " What can you do?"

Mo Rong was a little nervous when he heard Su Wan\'s question. He pursed his lips before lowering his head and replied in a low voice, "… I can drive carriages and I am used to working in farms as well."

" I can do rough work," chimed in Mo Chang. He looked at Su Wan and then cautiously stated, " I can also make things with wood, I used to make furniture at my house when I was still living with my parents."

After him, a young woman who was standing behind them spoke up, " I can do housework. I am good with embroidery and I can also take care of groceries and …and I am also good with children. I used to work as a wet nurse for a rich mistress before I was sold." As she spoke a small girl poked her head out from behind while looking at Su Wan carefully.

It was as if she was worried that Su Wan would take her mother away from her.

Su Wan asked a few more questions from the servants before she nodded her head in satisfaction. from the looks of it, this batch of servants was indeed honest. They would be fine. She turned to look at Yi Ran and then said, " These will do."

Yi Ran was even more happy when she heard that Su Wan was willing to buy the servants whom the other officials usually avoided. It wasn\'t that they were not honest enough, it was just that the officials did not like the servants to bring extra pieces of baggage with them, as they did not wish to keep more than the required number of servants.

However, orphans and widows who did not have nowhere to go could only sell themselves. Children who had no one to support could simply follow Yi Ran to whom they were sold as they had no one who would come to help them.

" Thank you very much for your patronage," Yi Ran was quite happy as she thanked Su Wan.

Su Wan nodded as she went through the formalities and then handed a bunch of taels to Yi Ran before saying, " If you get another round of honest workers like these then you can come to look for me at the snack street."

This woman was good and she knew how to do things. Since she was good at her job, Su Wan did not mind giving her a small tip either.

Yi Ran smiled as she nodded and said, " You do not have to worry about it, county magistrate Su."

She bowed before taking her leave as she nodded at Su Wan and then left the county magistrate\'s house. Once she was gone, Su Wan turned to look at the people whom she had bought.
