Since Sister Xian is the housekeeper here, Qiu Yingshan did not act in the capacity of Lin Wan’er (ni) deliberately.
During her arrival, Sister Xian noticed just how much respect the couple had for Lin Wan’er (ni). It was evident that they held her in high regard, making it clear that Lin Wan’er (ni) could never be seen as a rtive or even a junior to them.
Moreover, Sister Xian understood the significance the husband ced on this exquisite courtyard. It was clear why everyone insisted on her presence during visits; he wanted to ensure that none of the servants would inadvertently damage the decor and arrangements.
However, at this moment, he generously offered this space to Lin Wan’er (ni) to reside in. This act alone highlighted just how important Lin Wan’er (ni) was to him!
At that point, Lin Wan’er (ni) inquired of Sister Xian, “By the way, how many servants are there?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Sister Xian answered, “In total, there are sixteen aunts, four bodyguards, and two drivers, making it twenty-three people altogether.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) expressed her surprise, “There are that many aunts?”<fnc4c6> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n Find★Novel</fnc4c6>
“Yes,” Sister Xian confirmed. “Four aunts are responsible for washing and cooking, while another four handle sanitation and maintenance. Additionally, there are four aunts dedicated to gardening, and some others who can be called upon as needed.”
Curious, Lin Wan’er (ni) asked, “Where do these servantse from?”
Sister Xian responded, “They are all from Mysia. I came here with them, and they were carefully selected from domestic workers back home.”
“Got it,” Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded, feeling somewhat reassured.
These individuals hailed from Mysia and had served the Qiu family for many years, essentially functioning as domestic servants.
Even though the concept of domestic servitude hasrgely faded in maind China, it still remains a tradition among affluent families in Southeast Asia.
For the truly wealthy in that region, the ratio of domestic servants to family members can sometimes reach five to one or even higher.
To ensure stability and minimize staff turnover, many affluent families adhere to a form of domestic servitude. They often recruit young individuals to work in their homes, and these servants typically remain until retirement, serving their employers throughout their lives.
Most of those who be domestic servantse from impoverished families, where one member often takes up this role to support the entire household.
Being a servant offers numerous benefits: good meals,fortable living conditions, and decent pay, allowing them to save most of their earnings to assist their families. These positions do not require high levels of education ornguage proficiency; instead, they value hard work and dedication.
In economically challenged regions of Southeast Asia, many families and individuals aspire to such jobs.
As a result, the majority of these servants view domestic servitude as a lifelong career, sometimes even foregoing marriage and children in favor of their work.
Servants raised in this environment tend to value their employment highly, demonstrate loyalty to their employers, and maintain limited contact with the outside world, making them less susceptible to outside negative influences. This naturally enhances their reliability.
Lin Wan’er (ni) found herself growing more fond of this ce. Despite her usual calm demeanor, she excitedly said to Sister Xian, “I have a few things I need. I’ll create a listter, and you can help me purchase them.”
Sister Xian replied with respect, “Certainly, Miss Lin! Just provide me with the list, and I’ll take care of it right away!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
