Although Hua Xian was still unaware of Shu Yu's identity, she could tell that the girl was kind-hearted.
At the very least, she was much better than the Qin Lou Chu Guan.
Moreover, Hua Xian had overheard the servants house chatting yesterday, mentioning that there was a rough-tempered old master who wanted to buy two maidservants to serve him, and they were planning to send her over.
If she hadn't been bought by this miss today, she could easily imagine her fate.
Therefore, after Hua Xian greeted Shu Yu, she also bowed in gratitude to Ding Yuehua.
Ding Yuehua waved her hand and simply said, "You, too, are lucky to have encountered Ah Yu. Serve her well, and you won't live a difficult life."
Hua Xian was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding the deeper meaning in Ding Yuehua's words. It wasn't until she learned about Shu Yu's identity that she understood.
Shu Yu then selected a middle-aged couple from the servants house. They used to be cooks in a restaurant but had lost their children and were forced to sell themselves after their hometown was hit by a disaster. They had been purchased by another establishment before, but during an internal conflict within that family, they became scapegoats and were sold again.
Since Shu Yu had initially planned to hire a cook, it was even more convenient that they were already skilled in cooking.
Following that, she also hired a housekeeper and a slightly younger coachman.
Other than that, she didn't find anyone else suitable.
The five individuals walked out from the crowd, still feeling somewhat anxious.
Shu Yu said to the servants house staff, "I have some matters to attend to, so I'll trouble you to escort them to my house. I'll give you the address, and when you arrive, explain the situation to the people inside."
At this time, her father should be at the main residence.
Since Shu Yu had to visit other servants market, it wouldn't be convenient to bring them along.
The servants house staff readily agreed, and Shu Yu went with them to complete the necessary paperwork.
It was only then that the servants house shop staff realized who she was, and they were shocked.
After Shu Yu and Ding Yuehua left, the staff turned to Hua Xian and the others and said, "You are truly fortunate. Who knows, you might really have encountered a great opportunity."
The five individuals looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what was being implied.
It wasn't until they arrived at Fanghua Street with the servants house staff and saw the large mansion that they finally realized that the girl who had purchased them, the one who had been making waves in Jiangyuan County recently, was the village Lord Lu.
Shu Yu had chosen five people from the first servants house shop, and they were now heading to the government servants house.
As they boarded the carriage, Shu Yu couldn't help but think of what Ding Yuehua had mentioned about Hua Xian. It seemed that the Fan family's eldest sister-in-law wasn't easy to get along with.
It appeared that life would become more complicated after this marriage.
Ding Yuehua noticed Shu Yu glancing at her from time to time and asked, "Why do you keep looking at me?"
After a moment's thought, she realized, "Is it about Hua Xian?"
Shu Yu nodded honestly, "When you mentioned your eldest sister-in-law, it seemed like you two didn't get along."
Speaking of this, Ding Yuehua curled her lips. "My sister-in-law, she married into the Fan family more than ten years before me. At that time, the Fan family wasn't as wealthy and influential as they are now. The bride they chose was from a humble background, not comparable to my second sister-in-law or my natal family. My second sister-in-law is gentle in nature, her husband has passed away, and she lives a simple life, not seeking attention. Compared to the Fan family, my natal family isn't inferior in any way, and I am the eldest daughter of the family, loved by my parents and brothers, with a generous dowry and the love and favor of my husband. She is jealous of me, and her jealousy naturally makes her find me bothersome."
