The friends who were criticized by Wang Cai were not angry. After all, they all knew that Wang Cai had such a personality.
They took their tools and went to work.
When Wang Cai saw this, he just said, "Wait a moment, don't you guys rush to work? I have something to tell you."
Someone asked, "What's wrong? Are wages going to be raised?"
Wang Cai just said, "No, it was my uncle who asked us to go over for a meeting."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately said, "A meeting? What kind of meeting? He feels that he is not impressive enough."
Obviously, everyone now has some criticisms of this new uncle.
After all, this uncle had been so nice in front of them before. He never looked down on them, and sometimes he would help people who were inconvenient.
At that time, they all thought this uncle was good.
However, how long had it been since he had been married to the eldest lady, his temperament had completely changed.
To these old servants who had spoken to him, he didn't say a word in return, and even transferred them from their original important positions. Now he is yelling at them, burning bridges across rivers, and being villains who are unjust for profit. Probably like their uncle.
Wang Cai didn't hide it either, they should have known it in a while anyway.
Wang Cai just sneered and said, "It's a good thing. He is planning to dismiss us old people."
Upon hearing this, the friends all scolded each other, "This guy is so useless. Who does he think he is? Let us go! We are more senior than him! If the eldest lady doesn't like him, he thinks he counts." What a thing!"
When Wang Cai saw everyone cursing and cursing, he immediately raised his voice and said, "Everyone, please calm down for a moment! Listen to me and finish what I'm saying!"
Although everyone was angry, they still gave Wang Cai face. As soon as Wang Cai spoke, they fell silent.
Then Wang Cai whispered, "My uncle, he plans to send us away, but he doesn't mean to drive us away for nothing. He will give us twenty taels of severance expenses."
After hearing Wang Cai's words, everyone's anger was much lessened. Twenty taels is not a small amount in small families in villages and towns outside.
Coupled with the money they have collected over the years, they can still live even if they go out.
But they still have to say something like, "What's this? Isn't he just taking advantage of the young lady's money?"
"That's right, drive us old people away. This guy has ulterior motives."
However, although there were still a few such voices, overall everyone was calm. After all, the situation was stronger than the people. Now that they had the money to open the way, who had any opinions? Wang Cai just said, "Since everyone has no opinions, Okay, then let’s go.”
After saying this, Wang Cai took the lead and walked out. When the others saw Wang Cai leaving, they naturally followed him quickly.
After following him, a group of friends just started talking among themselves.
Unexpectedly, Wang Cai just walked to the front door and bumped into the steward.
The manager was very surprised to see Wang Cai. After all, Wang Cai was the one who informed him first. According to the normal order, Wang Cai should have arrived in the hall at this moment, but why is he still here now?
When the steward was confused, Wang Cai just smiled and said hello, "Steward, you are here, let's go together."
When the manager heard this, he just said, "Why are you still here? I was the first to inform you."
When Wang Cai heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Didn't I think that there was still a piece of land in the garden that had not been plowed? Those newcomers didn't know that the black land was used to grow peonies, so they wanted to prevent the newcomers from ruining the land. , I just planted the flower seedlings myself."
After hearing what Wang Cai said, the person in charge just said, "You are quite diligent."
The two of them had nothing to say after that. The manager only wanted to report to Xu Tianyi as soon as possible, so after the two met, they hurried to the hall.
The hall was already packed with people.
Seeing the steward and Wang Cai coming over, everyone's eyes only fell on them.
Wang Cai is elsewhere
People lined up behind them.
Xu Tianyi just said directly to the housekeeper, "Steward, is everyone here now?"
After hearing Xu Tianyi's words, the person in charge immediately said, "Master, I have notified and confirmed everyone. Everyone should be here."
However, despite what the steward said, everyone soon discovered that there were still a few people missing from the team, and a few newcomers were also mixed in.
With all this fuss, most of the time has passed.
Seeing the new manager acting so stupidly, Wang Cai thought he was just a fool.
If he had known that this man was so unlucky in doing things, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry when he went back just now, let alone sweating all over.
It seems that not everyone is Butler Xu, and not everyone has the management ability like Butler Xu.
And when the person in charge was sweating profusely and confirming the person coming, there was also a lot of discussion below.
What they were discussing was nothing more than why this person was so unlucky in doing things. If it had been Butler Xu, he would not have made such a mistake just now, let alone let a bunch of people wait here, wasting time and so on. So much.
Most of the time has passed, and fortunately, the person in charge has finally figured everything out.
"Master, everyone has been counted. I have confirmed that everyone is here."
Xu Tianyi nodded after hearing this.
Then he cleared his throat and looked at everyone present. It was obvious that he was thinking about what to say to make this group of people accept his words.
Then after thinking about it, he finally said to everyone present, "Everyone, I called you here today. In fact, there are some things I want to announce to you. I think you all know that my wife is now in prison. The lady and I We are raising money to try to save her, but if we want to save my wife, we will have to pay a large amount of money, so our house will also be sold. I asked you to come here today because you all belong to this house. There are old people here, and the young lady and I don’t want to delay your future, so after discussing with the young lady, I decided to dismiss you. This is a last resort decision, and both the young lady and I hope to get your understanding.”
Just as Xu Tianyi finished speaking, it was like a bomb exploding in the crowd. There was a lot of discussion below, and everything was said at the moment.
Xu Tianyi was not in a hurry, he just signaled the butler to calm down everyone quickly.
However, these old people did not accept the discipline of the new housekeeper at all, so no matter how much the new housekeeper shouted, they broke his throat. None of them took the new butler seriously.
On the contrary, when he asked everyone to be quiet, everyone started talking and making the noise even louder.
Some of them were discussing how the other party would go forward, and some of them really regarded Zhou Mansion as their home. They were discussing angrily, protesting loudly, and some were sarcastic and questioning Xu who was standing on the stage. God willing.
There were so many people, and for a while, Xu Tianyi couldn't hold back the current scene.
Then his eyes wandered, and he finally looked only at Wang Cai, who had been looking at everyone coldly. He remembered that this Wang Cai's words had some weight.
So he could only say to Wang Cai, "Wang Cai, come up."
Wang Cai did not object. When Xu Tianyi called him, he walked up.
"Uncle, what do you mean by calling me a villain?" This prince was quite sharp, and he only called Xu Tianyi "guye" like other old people.
This call of uncle seemed to remind Xu Tianyi that no matter how proud he was at this moment, he was just an uncle, a son-in-law who came to the house.
Xu Tianyi's face was obviously stiff, but this man was a chameleon after all, and then he quickly put away his unhappy expression, "Wang Cai, look at what's going on down there, I can't explain the lady's order. Go on, you are senior and your words have weight. Look, how about you tell me about them and let them be quiet? I still have something to say to them. If they are not quiet, I can't say anything. Keep talking."
After hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Wang Cai did not continue to confront him.
Go, he just smiled and said, "Uncle, of course there is no problem."
Then Wang cleared his throat and shouted loudly to the people below, "Everyone, please be quiet and give me some face. My uncle has something good to announce to everyone."
Wang Cai shouted this several times, and the audience became quiet. Everyone, look at me and I look at you.
Someone boldly shouted, "What good are you doing?"
When Wang Cai heard this, he just smiled and said, "Of course it is a good thing related to you. Please be quiet and give me a chance to speak. Then you will know what a good thing is."
Seeing Wang Cai say this, some wanted to give Wang Cai some face, and some wanted to hear what good things there were. In short, just after Wang Cai finished speaking, everyone finally became quiet.
After seeing everyone calm down, Xu Tianyi then said to the others, "Big guys, I know you are definitely not willing to let you leave your homeland. In fact, I can't bear to leave you. After all, my family can arrange it like this." Everything is well organized, and it is all inseparable from everyone's creation, but now I can't help it, but considering that everyone is the old man of my Zhou family, so I thought about it and decided to give it to everyone before dismissing everyone. A severance payment, this severance payment can allow you to settle down somewhere outside the capital, and it can also provide you with a place to stay while you make a living in the capital."
After listening to Xu Tianyi talk for a long time, but he didn't say how much the severance package was, some people became anxious on the spot.
"Uncle, how much is the severance package you mentioned?"
"Yes! Just tell us the number!"
Seeing everyone making noise, Xu Tianyi finally spoke.
"Twenty taels of silver."
After hearing what Xu Tianyi said, everyone below was obviously satisfied, and some were surprised and asked, "Is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true. When did I, Xu Tianyi, say anything without counting it?"
After finishing speaking, Xu Tianyi quickly raised his hand.
