Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 57

Chapter 57: "Designer" Schoolbags

Lu Lin asked Wan Tie's wife Yun Niang to look for embroiderers in town. Lu Lin offered them 25 cents per day, they hired over ten female embroiderers within one day. People wanted to work, but there weren't enough places hiring, so the hiring went smoothly.

There were more people asking whether they are still hiring the next day, Yun Niang told them they had hired enough workers at the moment, those people were left in disappointment.

Yun Niang was a great seamstress and embroiderer, she was in charge of the integrating all the parts of the bags together.

Lu Lin found Wan Tie rather sophisticated for a servant, Yun Niang was a beautiful woman, but unfortunately her face was disfigured by a long red scar. Their son Wan Xiao Fan was very emaciated and shy, Lu Lin noticed there were some empyrosis scars on Wan Xiao Fan's forearm, he had no idea how it happened.

Both Wan Tie and Yun Niang loved their son dearly, they were so gentle and patient when they talked to Wan Xiao Fan.

According to the worker in the human trader's shop, Wan Tie's parents were servants in a big family, so Wan Tie was born a servant. Yun Niang was the madam's maid, but she offended the madam, so the madam scarred her face to punish her and the madam married her to Wan Tie.

Maids were socially inferior, they would work for the madam since they were little girls and they would usually end up being sold to human traders when they got old.

A lot of maids dreamed of becoming the master or the young master's concubine, even though concubines still suffered severe social disadvantage.

On the plus side, both Chen Xiao Cai and Chen Xiao Mai were nice to Wan Xiao Fan. Chen Xiao Mai didn't get to meet kids younger than him very often, so he was very excited about playing with Wan Xiao Fan.

But Wan Xiao Fan seemed to fear Chen Xiao Mai and Chen Xiao Cai, sometimes he would just freeze when Chen Xiao Mai chased after him and play with him.

Lu Lin found that a bit strange, kids of Wan Xiao Fan's age were supposed to be lively and active, but he guessed maybe Wan Xiao Fan was once hurt by his playmates, the empyrosis scars on his forearm were probably caused by his playmates.

Chen Xiao Mai had a warm heart, he would always share his snacks with Wan Xiao Fan, but Wan Xiao Fan dared not take anything from him, Chen Xiao Mai would just pout in sadness when Wan Xiao Fan ran away from him.

Yun Niang was in charge of the embroiderers that Lu Lin hired, luckily the embroiderers all worked very hard for fear of losing the job.

Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi lived in the east bedroom while Chen Xiao Cai and Chen Xiao Mai lived in the west bedroom, the main bedroom was vacant. Wan Tie and Yun Niang took one of the servants' room.

"Tie, don't you find our masters a bit strange, why don't they take the main bedroom?" Yun Niang asked Wan Tie.

Wan Tie sighed, "Let's not talk about the masters behind their backs."

Wan Tie's parents were servants, he was born a servant, so he learned to observe people's speech and behavior since he was a little boy, and that had paid off. He became the butler in that family, all the masters and madams trusted him.

Yun Niang was the madam's maid, Wan Tie had a crush on Yun Niang since he first met her, but the master hankered after Yun Niang's beauty, the madam scarred Yun Niang's face out of jealousy. The master lost interest in Yun Niang since she was disfigured, the madam made use of the opportunity and married Yun Niang to Wan Tie.

Wan Tie cherished Yun Niang all the same after her face was disfigured, they had a beautiful family not long after they got married, Wan Xiao Fan was a cute boy. But good times didn't last long, the madam's son fell into disfavor after the master's concubine gave birth to a son.
