In this weird world, I use my body to control all things

In the low and dark washing room, several water basins were lined up, and four maids responsible for washing clothes were working hard in them.

Rich families pay a lot of attention to their clothes. The Liu family has money but no power, and there are no scholars in the family, so they are even more particular about it.

Not only do we need to change our clothes once a day, but sometimes we need to change our clothes again when we go out or meet guests or friends.

It's not yet the first lunar month, and the water from the well is warm at first, but will turn bitingly cold in just a few moments.

No matter how rich the Liu family is, they can't let these maids use hot water to wash clothes.

The hands of many washing maids have already turned white from soaking, and some even have frostbite, but they are still doing laundry non-stop.

Even when I heard someone walking into the laundry room, I didn't dare to look up.

These maids are said to be responsible for washing, but in fact they do all kinds of chores. Naturally, the Liu family cannot support them in vain.

Among the many maids, they are considered to be at the lowest level, even worse than the sweeping maids.

If you want to move up, you have to endure it slowly. After three to five years, when the master has a little trust in them, you can do other things.

"Zhao Yu." Chen Mo recognized his companion who fled the famine at a glance. She had changed a lot since then, and her figure was still skinny and bones.

At most, it is from being about to starve to death back then to being temporarily unable to starve to death.

It can be seen from this that the life she lived in the Liu family was not as good as when she fed the horses by herself.

When she heard someone calling her name, her eyes were filled with numbness. She looked up and obviously couldn't recognize Chen Mo.

"It's me, your husband Chen Mo. I'm here to redeem your life." As Chen Mo spoke, he took out a water bag from his arms, which was what Zhao Yu left for him back then.

"Is it you?" She was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, her eyes full of disbelief.

She had thought that Chen Mo would come to redeem herself. After all, it was only half a year and she had not lost hope yet.

But she didn't expect it to be so fast. In just half a year, Chen Mo was able to collect the money. This was really beyond her expectation.

In fact, since she entered Liu's house, she sometimes regretted why she had to sell things on the side instead of selling herself.

Selling on the side could redeem her life, but the owner found it hard to believe her, so she could only wash clothes here all day long.

She also imagined that Chen Mo would come to redeem him and turn her from a slave into an ordinary citizen.

But the experiences of other slaves sometimes shake this idea.

Someone was sold into the Liu family by her husband or brother, and she was promised to redeem her life, but no one has come for three, five, or even ten years.

Some of them initially sent word of mouth, but gradually they disappeared.

But she was still unwilling to give up this idea. She believed that Chen Mo was definitely not a treacherous person when he lived and died with her.

This is the only hope she can hold on to, and she must believe in this, otherwise she won't be able to survive until now.

But she never thought that this would become a reality so soon, and that Chen Mo would actually redeem herself.

She pinched her thigh, and the clear pain came into her mind, which made her dare to believe that everything in front of her was real.

The remaining washing maids all looked at Zhao Yu with envy and slightly jealous eyes.

They are all slaves and maids, why can she be redeemed by her husband, but she can still only work here day after day.

"Go and clean up quickly and follow me." Chen Mo said.

"Okay." Zhao Yu nodded in agreement, feeling filled with joy.

It would be better to go out and live no matter what kind of life it is now than to be a slave to others.

The two of them didn't talk too much about old times, and Zhao Yu left in a hurry to pack things.

In fact, they didn't know each other very well. Although they lived and died together, their total time together was less than two months, and they never exchanged more than a hundred words.

But if we talk about mutual trust, at least now they have enough trust in each other.

Zhao Yu was able to hand over the money from selling herself to Chen Mo almost without reservation. It was precisely because of this money that Chen Mo could survive and join the army.

And Chen Mo also tried his best to redeem her as soon as possible for a promise he made back then.

The two are not husband and wife, but the trust between many couples may not be as strong as the two of them.

Zhao Yu packed up quickly. She didn't have anything extra, just two pairs of clothes and some money that she had carefully saved.

When they were washing clothes, they would sometimes have some scattered coins. The maids who delivered the clothes would search them, but sometimes some would be missed.

So after such a long period of time, the money on her hands was not less, but even more. In total, she almost had three pieces of silver.

She had carefully saved all these, so that if she could contact Chen Mo one day, having the money would relieve his pressure and allow him to redeem himself better.

But now it seems that the money may not be used.

But after she packed everything, she still found an opportunity to quietly give Chen Mo all the money.

Chen Mo was able to redeem himself within half a year, which was indeed beyond her expectation, but she knew better that this was no easy task.

If you give him the money, if you still have money to use later, you don't have to tie yourself up.

As for what she would do if she didn't have any money after she left, she wasn't very worried about that.

Because she believes in Chen Mo, if the other party is really greedy for money, then there is no way he will come to redeem her.

Chen Mo took the money without saying much, and gently waved his hand to Zhao Yu to follow him.

All the way to the front hall, Li Xianwei was chatting with Liu Wangshi quite enthusiastically.

"Put this contract away so that I can take her to change her citizenship later." Mo Dao handed another contract to Chen Mo, then glanced at the skinny Zhao Yu, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What about the redemption money?" Chen Mo asked softly.

Mo Dao shook his head slightly, the Liu family was just a wealthy family, and their adoptive father wanted to redeem him.

Even if Liu Wangshi took the tiger's whip, he would not dare to ask them for ransom money.

"Uncle Li, since we have something to do here, we will go back to the military camp first and not stay here any longer." Mo Dao bowed his hands and resigned on the spot.

"Why are you so anxious, nephew? You have to stay for a meal anyway." Li County Lieutenant tried to persuade him to stay, but the moment he saw Zhao Yu, he suddenly understood everything.

Zhao Yu is very thin. It cannot be said that he is so thin that he will fall down when the wind blows, but he is close to being skinny from years of hard work.

If Chen Mo doesn't come again, Zhao Yu will probably die of exhaustion in Liu's house in another year and a half.

This is not a big deal, just scolding the slaves, almost every family does this, it is a small matter.

But it depends on who is being blamed. If it's an ordinary person, it doesn't matter. No one will ask if he dies.

But unfortunately, the blame fell on Zhao Yu.

Of course, Zhao Yu could barely survive because of the Liu family.

But if his first wife was treated like this, even if Chen Mo didn't blame the Liu family, he would no longer be able to sit at the same table and have a happy conversation with Liu Wangshi.

Mo Dao obviously thought of this, so he took the initiative to resign.

"Then I'll send my nephew off!" Lieutenant Li stood up and cast a deep glance at Liu Wangshi as he left.

"Liu Er, get here here!" Liu Wangshi shouted loudly.

Butler Liu Er lowered his head and trotted all the way to the main hall.

"Didn't I tell you usually? It's better to feed the people below, but what about you? How did you do it!" Liu Wangshi slapped the table and glared, as if venting the anger in his heart.

Liu Er remained silent, but was muttering to himself that the amount of money the servants in the courtyard spent on food and drink every day was decided by the other party himself.

For the money of one wotou, he couldn't make two wotou even if he spent it. He scolded him in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word with his mouth. He just bowed his head and listened to the instructions.

"The food money for the servants will be doubled every month. In addition, prepare a carriage for me, and then go to the Hengyuan Escort Bureau to hire some good people. Prepare more banknotes and gold, as well as the three hundred acres of land our family has outside the city. Bring me the title deeds of good paddy fields too.”

Liu Wangshi's eyes were fierce and he gritted his teeth and ordered.

He was not sure whether General Sun would know about what happened today, and whether he would blame himself for it.

But he can be sure that the Liu family is now a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite.

If you want to avoid being eaten dry, you have to take out part of the meat first.

The guard of Xingyuan Mansion is an absolutely high-ranking official. He had never had the opportunity to establish this relationship before, but now the opportunity has come.

With these things in hand, he said he was coming to apologize and ask for forgiveness.

As long as I can establish this relationship, not only will I no longer have to look at the county magistrate's face, my business may even quadruple.

As for whether it would be a bit shameless to visit someone's door and give him gifts to try to build a relationship. If he wanted to be shameless, he wouldn't be able to do such a big business.
