Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Teaching the Rules

“Has Zhang Peng come yet?”

He hurriedly put on his clothes and left the room, asking casually.

Liu Sisi was in the kitchen watching the newly bought old woman and the married woman cooking. She turned her head and said, “I haven’t seen Brother Zhang, but Xuan’er and Yun’er are already off school. It is so cold today, I let them stay at my home and didn’t send them back.”

How would it be good for the children to run far away in such freezing weather, if they really caught a cold?

“It’s really strange, how can no one be seen by now? Riding a horse back and forth from South Mountain Village should be enough, is there any problem?”

Di Yelei furrowed his eyebrows and went straight to the storage room.

As soon as his figure entered, it immediately turned around and came out again, with an incredulous face he rubbed his eyes and looked around, then turned around and went in, then came out again.

“Sisi, this room… this…”

The surprise on his face infected Old Cheng, who turned away and laughed secretly.

Liu Sisi glared at him, seeing Di Yelei’s expression, she also felt as if she had made a foolish decision.

“If you think there’s too much stuff, just take it out and distribute it to the passerby outside!”

She stomped her foot with a flushed face, and then went back into the kitchen and didn’t come out again.

Di Yelei inhaled a nose full of dust, helplessly rubbing his nose, he had no choice but to go back to the storage room and call some more people to help.

In the kitchen, Liu Sisi was instructing the new people on their rules.

Her gaze swept over the old women, the married woman, and the children.

“You all are sold by Granny Qin and signed a dead contract, pressed your fingerprints and registered your sale at the government office. You should understand what a dead contract means. I Liu Sisi am not a malicious person, as long as you sincerely work, don’t slack off, don’t betray your master for glory, then you do not need to worry about food and clothing. My Di family may not be a wealthy family, but my eldest uncle is an official in another place, and I Liu Sisi am also the goddaughter of the imperial court’s Minister Gan. I assume Granny Qin has already introduced our background, so I won’t elaborate on it.”

It’s not that Liu Sisi wanted to brag, but with these seven men, women, and children, she is afraid of what would happen if the servants stepped on their master.

So, this is where discipline is needed!

There are too many pitiful people in this world, and she is not a Bodhisattva, so she naturally can’t save everyone.

What she can do is not to deduct expenses on food and clothing, as long as she can take good care of these people, she will be at ease with her conscience.

As Liu Sisi’s words fell, the old woman hurriedly bowed and said with a smile.

“Madam, don’t worry, all these things have been explained by Granny Qin, you can rest assured!”

In fact, Granny Qin’s explanation was much more severe than Liu Sisi’s!

“You must not underestimate the Di family just because you are going to the countryside. The eldest of the Di family is an official in another province and may return to his hometown at any time. You are going to the home of the third son of the Di family, and the eldest of the Di family loves his third brother dearly. This Mrs. Di is even more remarkable! She is the granddaughter of the Elder Madam of the Gan Family, and who is this old lady? She is the wife of the Hanlin Academy’s Minister Gan. Mrs. Di has also been raised by Assistant Minister of Ministry of Personnel, Lord Gan. With such a status, it would be just as easy to crush you as it is to press a small ant to death…”
