Chapter 891: Claiming One's Own Surname Publicly

ongbai, said, if you can't even survive, who cares about studying and taking exams for official positions.Old Mrs. Wu pointed at her nose and cursed, “You unlucky star, you little wretch! I knew you w...Fu Shangyuan was a little surprised. Fang Jinshi had never shown any flattering demeanor towards people like them who had status and power, but she spoke to the group of slaves who didn't even have their freedom with such gentleness and courtesy.

She is indeed willing to humble herself.

But it has to be said, this trick is indeed quite effective against these people.

In Fang Jinshi's words, sincerity is a surefire weapon.

Those imprisoned yearn for a chance to break free.

In the past, when choosing someone to serve them, people always acted with an air of superiority. Although these individuals were slaves, they were not mindless puppets lacking thoughts. To turn those under your command into genuine assets, you must understand their needs and control their hearts.

Fang Jinshi smiled, and these people's hearts relaxed a lot. As soon as she finished speaking, a young man blushed and spoke up.

"We, we actually most of us do farm work."

"Not everyone dislikes working on the farm. It's just that they are afraid of dying there without knowing why."

The moment the young man opened his mouth, several people began to talk over each other.

“Yes, my previous master liked to throw servants who had made mistakes into the farm. Before long, that person would disappear completely.”

"Though we are lowly creatures, we too wish to live."

"Being bought by a wealthy family might not make life any easier, but at least we'd be living under everyone's watchful eyes. If the master wanted to kill us, they'd have to find some excuse or reason. We wouldn't just die without cause."

A little girl also said in a trembling voice.

"I also heard that men on the Zhuang estate would force female slaves to have children, and even then they wouldn't let the women raise their own offspring."

In the eyes of these servants, your estates were a nightmare and a symbol of hell.

After going there, not only do you have to do the dirtiest and most tiring work, let alone not eating enough or staying warm, but even your most basic human rights are stripped away. You're worse off than an old ox in a barn.

They wouldn't dare to go there.

Fang Jinshi's mood was a bit heavy after hearing it.

"That wouldn't happen here."

"If you're willing to come with me, I can sign a new contract with you. This contract would be for three years."

"As long as you work for me for three years and haven't made any major mistakes or have a bad record, you can regain your freedom, and I will return your contract to you."

"Those willing to continue working for me can stay on the estate. Those who are not, are free to leave at any time."

Moreover, for those who work for me, not only can they have enough to eat and wear, but each person will also have a clean room to live in, and seasonal work clothes will be issued according to the season throughout the year.

"Every month or two, there will be some money given out, and during festivals there will be various benefits. When you are sick, you can take leave, and there is a doctor on the farm who can see you for free."

"So, none of you want to come"

When Fang Jinshu said these words, everyone in the courtyard was stunned silent.

Could the mistress be joking

Could anyone really offer them jobs like this

Three years to gain freedom, my God, they wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

Just what Fang Jinshi had said about the unbelievably generous treatment before, was enough to tempt them.

"Madam, are you telling the truth"

"You, you wouldn't be deceiving us, would you"

Xiaoyue approached with a cold face, "Presumptuous! What did our mistress deceive you about Besides, Prince Jing is right here."

In Xi Zhou, how many people would give their all to get into our Jinshu Mountain Villa but couldn't even get in

Splendid Garden Estate!

A middle-aged man among them suddenly raised his head.

"Could this really be Jinshu Mountain Villa!"

Xiaoyue hummed in agreement and said with a smile, "Our family wouldn't stoop to faking our ancestral home just to buy some servants."

The middle-aged man, after hearing Xiaoyue's reply, was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He rushed out immediately.

I'm willing to go! I'm willing to go!

He kept turning back to wave at acquaintances, "Ajiao, you come too, hurry!"

"This is the Jinshu Mountain Villa, you believe Big Brother, working for them is a blessing we can't even beg for."

"I, Wang Tian, swear on my life that everything the lady just said is absolutely true."

"Remember when I told you all about the sacred place in Xizhou that all the poor people dream of going to, it's Jinshu Mountain Villa."

“I wanted to go too, but the manager at Zhuangzi said they could only take in those who had lost their families and homes first. Those who were able to support themselves were not allowed in.”

"I never expected Jinxiu Mountain Villa to open in the capital city. I even saw Zong's daughter with my own eyes."

In the Jinshiu Mountain Villa in Xizhou, a village expanded hundreds of times in size within the mountains, everyone knew Fang Jinshu was the daughter-in-law of the clan.

Therefore, she was always referred to as Zong's daughter.

But later on, Fang Jinshi was angry that Zong Yu had broken his promise and not returned. So she started to call herself by her own surname. Zongping Kang spoke of the past, Yu Lian's face paled a little more. Her fists clenched with anger as she glared at him fiercely."Uncle, are you threatening me"The more she acted so timid and afraid,...
