“Alright, I’ll wing it, just don’t complain after it is done,” smiled Zhou Jinjiang.
“I won’t!”
After finishing planting her flower seedlings, Cheng Xiao Xiao stood up and asked, “Speaking of, Uncle Zhou, the servants that dad has the officials help us look, when will they be arriving?”
“Soon. In the next couple of days. If they don’t arrive soon, we won’t have enough manpower during the auction!”
“Yeah, we are a little short on manpower. After they have arrived, pick the few smarter ones and train them!” nodded Cheng Xiao Xiao.
Zhou Jinjiang frowned and said, “Training them is not a big deal, it’s just that with the newcomers, their loyalties are a bit questionable.”
“Oh that. Don’t worry, you do the picking, then let me take a look at them!”
“Okay!”
Zhou Jinjiang didn’t ask her the reasoning behind that and just agreed to her suggestion. Then he looked as Cheng Xiao Xiao as though he has something else on his mind.
Noticing that, Cheng Xiao Xiao gave him a quizzical look and asked, “Uncle Zhou, what is the matter? Something bothering you? You have your eyes on some girls?”
“Brat! What are you talking about!” Zhou Jinjiang didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry from her comment, “This matter has a lot to do with you. Since you asked, I will just let you know. Gu Gaoyi from Yin are on his way here with his wife and son. They should be arriving Daling tomorrow and, if all goes well, arriving at our place day after tomorrow at the latest!”
“Gu Gaoyi?”
“Yeah, your dad’s sworn brother, you are betrothed to his son verbally. Their family are on their way here!”
