#137 - Chapter 137 Adding People

Cheng Feng temporarily put aside the sudden affection from Lin Wan'er.

The Lin family was not yet within Cheng Feng's grasp.

Moreover, Cheng Feng only wanted to make money and practice martial arts right now.

Some things can't be rushed, but once his strength is great enough, he can do them.

Currently, Cheng Feng was still somewhat weak.

After bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Zhang, Cheng Feng went directly to the Hong Sect and withdrew one hundred taels of silver.

Now that the new residence was bought, all that remained was to move.

The silver on him was already used up, and Cheng Feng could only temporarily misappropriate some of the Hong Sect's savings.

It wasn't a big problem, just one hundred taels.

Next month, Cheng Feng would just take a little less in dividends.

Money makes a man bold, so he called for Baibai and went to the brokerage again.

After chatting with the shopkeeper, he learned that a new batch of people had arrived recently.

Cheng Feng couldn't afford to worry about so much now.

Now that he bought the house, people had to live in it, and his women certainly didn't need to suffer anymore.

The women had followed him for quite some time, and it was time for them to live a good life.

Arriving at the brokerage, Shopkeeper Zhang was out on business, and Cheng Feng entered the backyard familiarly.

Today, he, Cheng Feng, would make the new courtyard no longer desolate.

With silver in hand, the world was his!

Before coming, Cheng Feng had written his requirements on a piece of paper according to his conditions, which made it easier to find and less effort.

After carefully checking the requirements with the shop assistant, Cheng Feng came to a middle-aged man who was said to have rich management experience.

But looking at the dying middle-aged man in front of him, Cheng Feng covered his face and said, "Is there some misunderstanding about middle-aged men?"

The shop assistant wasn't annoyed either. The brokerage records must have been verified, but whether they exaggerated depended on how the person wrote them at the time.

He switched to the next one, but it wouldn't work; he was too short.

He switched to the next one, but it wouldn't work; his sneaky eyes were unbearable to look at.

After looking and looking, he still couldn't find a suitable one, so Cheng Feng simply stopped looking at male butlers.

He looked at servants.

In the selection of male servants, Cheng Feng preferred young and strong men with good foundations, a total of twenty. They would be responsible for performing various physical labor tasks and, when necessary, receive basic skills training to ensure the efficient completion of various tasks.

But looking at the sallow and thin people who were selling themselves, Cheng Feng was speechless. Their arms and legs were even thinner than the Hong Sect disciples.

He switched to the next one.

For the selection of female housekeepers for the inner courtyard, Cheng Feng needed a woman with rich experience and excellent management skills. She would be responsible for supervising the daily work of the maid team and ensuring the cleanliness and harmony of the inner courtyard environment.

But looking at the shop assistant's helpless and innocent eyes, Cheng Feng gave up.

In the selection of maids, Cheng Feng paid great attention to their appearance, foundation, and personality traits.

He didn't want to find those gossipy people, and of course, he didn't want ugly ones either, since he had paid for them.

After all, he wasn't choosing maids to satisfy his own desires. Therefore, he could slightly lower the age requirements for these maids, so that their personalities would have a chance to be cultivated.

Most importantly, these maids must have good foundations, which was the most important thing.

After many selections, there were finally five maids who met the conditions. This time, they were able to select so many suitable candidates, and Baibai deserved the credit. If it hadn't played a major role, he would have really returned empty-handed this time.

As for the chef, since he had not been able to find a suitable male servant before, Cheng Feng had given up. He decided to choose a woman to be the chef as well, so that he wouldn't have to consider too many age-related issues. However, Cheng Feng's requirements for the chef's cooking skills were quite high.

Fortunately, this time he really found a few good cooks with excellent cooking skills. In Cheng Feng's personal test, the dishes cooked by two of the mothers tasted quite good. However, they both had two girls with them, which made Cheng Feng feel uneasy.

Cheng Feng originally wanted to change another person to take a look, but Baibai, according to the requirements put forward by Cheng Feng, whispered beside him, "From the perspective of appearance and bone structure, these two chefs used to be quite beautiful, and the two little girls have very good foundations."

After hearing this, Cheng Feng immediately understood what Baibai wanted to express. After all, in Baibai's eyes, the so-called beauty must be the type that Cheng Feng liked!

At this moment, looking at the two mothers in front of him with hopeful eyes, Cheng Feng felt extremely helpless. Did they really plan to turn his courtyard into a women's country?

However, although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, Cheng Feng finally gave up the idea of refusing.

Forget it, forget it, just treat it as doing a good deed and accumulating some merit!

Just two children, and they are good materials for martial arts, not a loss, not a loss.

When he thought of his two sons living in an environment full of girls in the future, Cheng Feng couldn't help but think of Jia Baoyu, the protagonist in the famous biography of his previous life.

That guy was always a bit effeminate, which was definitely not what he wanted to see.

So, he took Baibai to the men's area without hesitation and carefully selected ten young men with excellent foundations.

Then, he decisively "took away" these ten men. In addition to the five girls, two mothers, and two children, it cost only nineteen taels.

Among them, the two little girls were only about six or seven years old. Cheng Feng thought they could become Chen Zhu's playmates, so she wouldn't feel too lonely.

While waiting for the contract to be engraved, Cheng Feng tried to have a simple conversation with these people.

The faces of those who were selected were full of fatigue and anxiety, but their eyes showed a trace of hope for the future.

"Are you all from the east?" Cheng Feng asked softly, trying to break the silent atmosphere.

"Yes, the east is now full of war, and we are all escapees." A young man sighed, his voice full of helplessness.

"The road to escape must have been very difficult," Cheng Feng sighed, he could imagine those days of displacement.

"Hey, who says it wasn't." The young man shook his head, "Many people died on the road, some died of illness, some died of starvation, and some were killed by those soldiers. We are lucky to have survived."

Cheng Feng was silent, he could feel the fear and despair in these people's hearts.

He knew that although these refugees had temporarily found a place to settle down, their hearts were still nowhere to rest.

But Cheng Feng was also powerless. He hadn't finished dealing with the affairs of his own family, and he was lacking this and that. How could he have extra sympathy to help others?

If they hadn't voluntarily sold themselves into the brokerage, Cheng Feng probably wouldn't have seen them in his life.

Not to mention having any intersection.

But what Cheng Feng could guarantee was that following him, they would at least have enough to eat.

At least they wouldn't be so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs.
