Chapter 400: Four Great King Kongs Enter Rong'an Hall
Behind Su Qingwan, four people stood in a row. They were stout with sturdy faces, and all of them had shining eyes, staring intently at old Kang who was sitting on the bed.
Behind these four sturdy old women, there were a dozen men and women who looked very strong.
What is Su Qingwan going to do?
When she brought these people here, it didn't seem like they were sending people to her, but rather it seemed like they were sending her away!
Seeing Su Qingwan's bright smile, it was clear that she had no good intentions. I had to be careful. None of the people she brought could stay. I had to let her take them all away. If she wanted to send servants over, she would buy new ones from the human traffickers and send them over. I would not use these fierce people.
"Grandma Kang, today the eldest lady went to Helin Courtyard and had a good talk with my mother. She said that after the maids and old women who did the rough work left, there would be no one to serve you in your courtyard, which was very inconvenient."
"Let my mother solve the manpower problem. Let's discuss it. We think we should first transfer some smart and capable people from Helinyuan to serve you. This way, Rong'an Hall can operate normally and you will feel more comfortable."
Su Qingwan said with a sweet smile.
Today she came here to play the role of a good and filial granddaughter, so she naturally had to perform well so that old Mrs. Kang would not be able to refuse her kindness no matter what.
When Old Mrs. Kang heard what Su Qingwan said, she became furious.
She had never expected that Liu was involved in this. Why did she go to Helin Courtyard for no reason? Who would care if she said she was short of people to serve her?
And it would have been fine if Liu had gone to say it, but why didn't she suggest that Jiang buy some servants from outside? She had to transfer people from Helin Courtyard.
I really should let Liu come over and take a look at what kind of people Jiang has sent to me. They are all ferocious and vicious. They don’t look like servants at all, they are clearly bandits!
"Take them back, I don't need them to serve me here!" Old Mrs. Kang flatly refused. She was not senile and confused. She would not let these people come to her Rong'an Hall.
"Grandma Kang, why do you want to let them go back? These people are carefully selected by our third branch. They are not only careful, but also efficient, and they also know the rules. They are not talkative. I guarantee that you will be very comfortable with them serving you."
Su Qingwan continued to smile gently. Everyone she brought here today would stay. It was absolutely impossible to ask her to take them back.
"No matter how good these people are, I don't need them here. I'd better let them go back to Helin Court to serve me, otherwise if they come here, there will be less people to serve me in Helin Court."
"If your mother wants to be filial to me, she can just go out and buy some new servants. If she can't afford it, she can just sign some servants on working contracts. I'm an old woman, and I don't need many people to serve me."
Old Kang stared at Su Qingwan and said.
Her meaning was very simple, that is, to take these people away and replace them with new servants.
Su Qingwan couldn't help laughing in her heart when she heard this. Even at this time, Old Kang still didn't forget to show his generous attitude towards others.
On the surface, he didn't want his mother to be without someone to serve her, but in fact, wasn't he just on guard against problems with the people his mother arranged?
But now Old Kang is already at a disadvantage. Does she really think she has a chance to turn things around?
He even asked his mother to hire someone from outside. What a nice idea!
"This... Hey! Grandmother Kang, you also know that the Marquis' Mansion is currently short of money. We ordered charcoal a few days ago and just spent a large sum of money. Then the servants left the mansion early, so we spent another sum of money. Now we have the remaining money and the money left after paying for the charcoal. In this tight situation, how can we have the spare money to buy people back from outside!"
"Besides, even if we buy them back, they still need food and drink, and we have to pay them monthly. All this adds up to a considerable expense, so mother and aunt decided that it would be most appropriate to call in people from Helinyuan."
"I know that Grandma Kang is kindhearted and doesn't want the Third House to be short of people to serve, but my mother said that we are all young people, so it doesn't matter if there are fewer people to serve us. The key is to take good care of the old lady. This is my mother's filial piety, so Grandma Kang should not refuse it anymore."
As soon as Su Qingwan finished speaking, she saw that Old Kang's face turned blue with anger. She didn't even wait for Old Kang to speak and directly ordered:
"I've already arrived at Rong'an Hall, but I haven't met the old lady yet!"
The four great kings and the others all bowed and shouted in unison:
"Meet the old lady!"
"Don't worry, old lady. We will serve you carefully."
These people made such loud noises that old Kang felt like the beams of the house were shaking. It was really disheartening!
She didn't want these people to serve her, she just wanted them to get out of Rong'an Hall.
The old marquis, who had just walked into the yard, nodded repeatedly with a satisfied smile on his face.
Not bad!
very nice!
Qingwan is a filial child, and Jiang is a good daughter-in-law. She would rather suffer herself than take good care of her stepmother-in-law.
This is great! Zhiru found a good wife.
He walked into the room and just as he entered, he heard Old Kang cursing angrily, "Get lost! Take everyone away. I don't want these people to serve me. Go back and tell Jiang to buy me a batch of new servants from outside. Otherwise, bring the money and I will ask Aunt Xu to buy them myself."
Su Qingwan lowered her head in embarrassment, but in fact it was because she heard the footsteps of the old marquis coming in.
"Nonsense! Kang, how could I not know that you are such an ungrateful person! You still want to buy it with your own money? Don't you know that Jiang is in charge of the public money? If you use it to buy servants, do you want to continue living in this mansion?"
The old marquis came over angrily and started to criticize old Mrs. Kang.
Su Qingwan's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the old marquis and called out, "Grandfather!"
"Good boy, you have been wronged. It's this old guy who doesn't know what he is talking about. Don't be sad!" the old marquis said immediately.
Such a good granddaughter, but she was bullied by old Kang and cried!
"Do you still act like an elder? The fourth girl was kind enough to send you a servant, but you picked it. I think you shouldn't let people serve you, or you'll develop a lot of problems!"
The old marquis turned around and started scolding Mrs. Kang again. Why didn't he think Mrs. Kang was so unreasonable in the past? Now, she was really a person who was not worthy of being on the stage.
Old Kang was stunned by the scolding!
The Marquis actually spoke to him in such an abusive tone. Was it because Su Zhiru was making him look good in public?
