Xiao Yanan watched Mo Wenjie without saying a word, and she was also very happy. It seems that you, brother Wenjie, are quite satisfied with the arrangements for your sister-in-laws. Since you have no objections, let's find a good date as soon as possible and settle your marriage. This will put us all at ease!
Hu Jiao Jiao also agreed heartily. "Yes, brother Wenjie, this matter should be dealt with without delay. We will take charge of organizing it so that they can get married as soon as possible!"
Mo Wenjie, upon hearing this, looked at the two of them, could only shake his head helplessly. Two sisters-in-law, you decide on it! I have nothing to thank you for. Take these two Breakthrough pills!
Xiao Yanan was overjoyed upon hearing this. Brother Wenjie, you really are a perceptive person. Well, then, as sister-in-law, I won't be polite with you!
Hu Jiao Jiao didn't say anything and directly took the Breakthrough pills.
Mo Wenjie looked at the two of them as they took the Breakthrough pills. I still have something to do and need to step out for a moment, sisters-in-law. Are you planning to eat here or go back home?
Xiao Yanan and Hu Jiao Jiao echoed in unison, Brother Wenjie, you go ahead and take care of your business. We won't disturb you here any longer. Both of us are going back. You can get ready to be the groom now. Bye, brother!
Xiao Yanan and Hu Jiao Jiao left Mo Wenjie's house.
Mee Lan Zhu Ju four people echoed in unison: Young Master, how could you have agreed so easily?
Mo Wenjie shook his head upon hearing this. Can't I not agree? You guys see the scale of the two of them. If I don't agree, can they just give up? Do you think I want to agree? I agreed out of necessity. Now that they've taken the Breakthrough pills, no one will think about it anymore. It seems that keeping wealth hidden is truly a good thing. Since they know I have them, they will definitely find a way to ask for them. Now that there are none, it will save me a lot of trouble!
Mee looked at Mo Wenjie and smiled, shaking her head. We originally thought that you, Young Master, were so capable and had nothing to fear. Now we know that you have people to fear as well. Your sisters-in-law are no ordinary women. If the two of them are satisfied, they will not be content with just that. If you don't believe me, wait and see. The others will definitely come looking for you!
Mo Wenjie shook his head upon hearing this. "Big Brother Qian has the Breakthrough pills, and I think his three sisters-in-law won't come to ask me for them. Big Brother Qu doesn't have any, the Breakthrough pills he used to enhance his strength were given to him by me. So if his sisters-in-law come to ask for them, it's also normal! Who doesn't have a beloved sister or sister-in-law? Helping one's family improve their strength isn't wrong at all, and their thoughts are understandable!"
Lan shed tears upon hearing this. "Young Master, your heart is so kind! No matter how they think or what they do, you can understand them. Having a brother like you is truly their fortune in eight lifetimes!"
Mo Wenjie laughed upon hearing this. "I'm not as good as you say. They are my sisters-in-law after all, and as a brother, I can't quarrel with my sisters-in-law. How would that make my brothers feel? What would they do to handle this relationship? So everything goes smoothly with them, and we will all be happy!"
Zhu shook her head while looking at Mo Wenjie. Young Master, how is it that you always think so much about your brothers? It's truly a great blessing to be your brother. They, as the wives of your brothers, are like bald men following the moon; they've gained some glow from it!
Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "There's nothing as exaggerated as you say, people should value loyalty and righteousness. Since we have become brothers, we should have mutual trust and be willing to risk our lives for each other. Only like this can we stand tall in the world!"
Ju smiled and nodded upon hearing this. "Young Master, you are truly generous. We are grateful that we can serve you, and it's our blessing from the previous life to be your maids. Serving you makes us very happy. Encountering a good person like you is a blessing from heaven, and we are all willing to serve you for a lifetime!"
Mo Wenjie smiled and said with a chuckle, "What are you guys talking about? Do I sound unapproachable? Just rest assured, once I've helped you find suitable marriage partners for your families, I'll let you go back. And I'll also give you some money so that you can live out the rest of your lives without any worries!"
Upon hearing this, the four of them, Mee, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, all looked unhappy and spoke in unison: "Is that how much you hate us, Young Master? Is that how much you don't want us to serve you? Is there something wrong with what we do?"
Mo Wenjie shook his head upon hearing this. "It's not that you're doing something wrong. You're doing something very well. But as young men should marry and young women should get married, it's time for you to find a good home and live your own happy life!"
Mee shook her head upon hearing this. I don't know what the others are thinking, but I will never leave you, Young Master. Unless you kick me out of the house, I will not leave you in this life or the next. Whether men should marry and women should get married is none of my business. Whomever wants to marry can marry, but I will not leave this home!
Mo Wenjie looked at Mee and shook his head. "There's no need for you to say that. You're still young and don't know how wonderful the future days will be, so you say that. When you know how wonderful the future is, you won't say that. You're still young, and when you grow up, you won't think like that!"
Mee shook her head at Mo Wenjie. "I'm sixteen years old, where am I young? I'm not stupid, Young Master, and I understand what you're saying. However, I was born into a poor family. If I was born into a rich family, I would already be engaged now. How can I still be considered young?"
Mo Wenjie shook his head upon hearing this. "You guys are indeed not that old. In our place, girls can only get married at the age of 22. So, isn't that young?"
Mee looked at Mo Wenjie and asked, "Young Master, do you know what the age of first romantic interest is? What is the age of blooming youth?"
Mo Wenjie laughed heartily upon hearing this. "You guys really think I haven't gone to school and don't know these things? And you try to confuse me with this, using your knowledge of first love and blooming youth? Both of them refer to the age between thirteen and fourteen!"
Mee looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "Young Master, since you know all this, why don't you understand our hearts? Do you really think we're children? We know everything and understand everything. If we were to be maids for others, they wouldn't use us unless we learned some skills. So when we were young, we had to learn everything. Otherwise, no one would use me to serve you, the Young Master, and the Misses!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head and said, "You guys are really hardworking. At such a young age, you have to learn everything. You are truly capable and hard-working!"
Mee looked at Mo Wenjie and smiled bitterly, shaking her head. "Young Master, how could you possibly know how difficult it is for us? Sometimes, when we encounter harsh masters or mistresses, they beat and abuse us. They even refuse to let me eat, sometimes for days without any food. In their eyes, we are worthless and disposable like a piece of trash. To them, being tormented until death is just a matter of getting some money in compensation. If they were bought from somewhere else, the situation would be even worse - tormented until death and then discarded in some remote wilderness. To be able to meet such a Young Master as you is the blessing of a lifetime. So I will never leave you, no matter what. If you really want to keep me around, take me as your warm bed maid!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head. "How could I do that? That would be disrespectful to you. I hope you don't have any unhealthy thoughts. Let's not say anything else. We'll talk about it when the time comes, okay?"
Mee, Lan, Zhu, and Ju all showed expressions of great distress upon hearing this.
Mo Wenjie, noticing their expressions, couldn't help but shake his head. "What's going on with you guys? I'm doing this for your own good. See how sad and bitter you all look! People who know me will understand that I'm trying to help. Those who don't might think I'm bullying you. This is not a good image for me, you know. Can't you all be happier? If not, then the Young Master will get upset!"
Mee, Lan, Zhu, and Ju looked at Mo Wenjie after hearing this, their faces showing forced smiles that were far from natural and not at all indicative of happiness!
Mo Wenjie looked at the four of them and said, "Can't you guys show a bit of face and smile more naturally? The forced smile you're showing makes me feel even worse. This isn't fun anymore. How can we get along like this?"
Mee sighed and shook her head helplessly. "Young Master, it's not that we don't want to be happy. It's just that you want to drive us away, and how can we feel happy about that? Young Master, you are the best master we have ever met. We really don't want to leave you. We have no idea if we can find such a good master after leaving you. So how could we possibly be happy when you're telling us to leave?"
Mo Wenjie looked at them and said, "How is it that you four can't understand what I'm saying? I mean that when it's time for you to get married, I'll let you go back. It's not that I'm asking you to leave now. Why would you be unhappy now? Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll give each of you one hundred spirit stones to go back with. It's almost a month; it's about time for you to go home and see your families!"
Upon hearing this, the four of them all looked stunned. "Young Master," Mee said, "When Your Lordship hired us, he had already paid us a year's worth of monthly salary."
Mo Wenjie chuckled and said, "I never said it was for your monthly salary, but just to let you go home and visit. Buy some things too! Even today is your day off; all of you go home!"
Mee, Lan, Zhu, and Ju were all bewildered upon hearing this. They looked at each other in confusion. "What's this about being on leave? We've never heard of it before!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head in disbelief upon hearing this. "How did you guys get so confused? There's no such thing as a holiday here. Just let it be. Today, two of you go home to visit. Tomorrow morning, the other two will go. Then the day after tomorrow, the other two will come back. You can go home once a month!"
Mee, Lan, Zhu, and Ju looked at Mo Wenjie in confusion. "Young Master, what does this mean? Do you mean to say you want to dismiss us?"
Mo Wenjie shook his head. "Stop jumping to conclusions, would you? I don't mean to dismiss you. I just want to allow you to go home for a day each month to reunite with your families. It has nothing to do with dismissing you. Don't think of me as so heartless, okay? Do I really seem so unapproachable in your hearts?"
