This time, Locke generously tipped them 2 grams each.

"Thank you, generous sir."

"Happy wedding to you."

"You misunderstood, that beautiful lady is my sister."

When red-nosed Alam heard that Hannah was Locke's sister, his eyes instantly lit up, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Young gentleman, I think your family must need a decent maid. My niece Nicole has just turned 16 this year. She is smart and beautiful, and has very beautiful red hair. She is very hard-working and wants to Don’t you want me to introduce her to you as your maid?”

"It sounds like a young girl with little experience. It's better to use my aunt. My aunt is a professional maid with 10 years of experience in the industry."

The little Slavin tried his best to sell his aunt.

"Don't think I don't know. Your aunt has a habit of stealing. That was why she was fired by her employer last time."

"You're talking nonsense. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want your niece who looks innocent but is working as a street girl to seduce your employer and become the hostess here."

The two movers started to fight each other as they spoke. They both regarded Locke as a very rich fat sheep.

Locke wiped the sweat from his forehead,

"Sorry, I have no idea of ​​recruiting maids. If necessary, I will contact you again."

"Okay, you must find me."

"Remember to look for me!"

The two were locked out and still competing with each other.

Although these two people were familiar faces in the West District, they were not people Locke knew. To be precise, Locke didn't want acquaintances to know that he had moved here.

Not only across regions, but also across classes, which is not a good thing for the neighbors who once lived together.

They can accept that you are living well, but they cannot accept that you are living well.

This is normal people's psychology. If you are in trouble, they will sympathize with you. If your life is okay, they will be happy. If you leave them far behind, they will be jealous.

Therefore, Locke only told his neighbors that he had moved, but did not say that he was moving to the East Side.

After sending the coachman and movers away, Locke turned and looked at Hannah, who was counting books and old newspapers.

"Come on, beautiful Miss Hannah, let me show you around our future home."

Locke took off his half-high silk top hat and put it on his chest. He bent slightly and made a gentleman's courtesy, inviting Hannah to visit the villa with him.

Erin had already seen the cottage, but she didn't mind following them through it again, mainly to pick out a room of her own.

Hannah put down her books and newspapers, dusted her hands, and followed Locke.

"Then it's all down to you, handsome Mr. Locke."

"This is the servants' room."

Locke walked to the small bedroom on the first floor and opened the door. There was a small bed, a desk, and a wardrobe. The actual area was not large, but it was already larger than Hannah's previous bedroom.

"After cleaning it, I can live here."

Hannah said in surprise.

"No, we will have a handyman maid who will need to live here when the time comes."

Locke said with a smile.

"Didn't you refuse the servant they introduced to you? And our income is not enough to hire a handyman maid."

Hannah frowned nicely.

"No, if you calculate carefully, my weekly salary is 2 silver meters, and a month is 8 silver meters. The salary of a handy maid is between 200-300 meters. We can definitely pay it."

Locke explained.

"So you mean to invite 16-year-old Nicole?"

Hannah asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, of course not."

Locke didn't expect that Hannah heard the conversation just now and remembered the name of the poor girl Nicole who looked innocent but was actually a street girl.

It’s not that Locke doesn’t want to help Nicole, it’s just that his quota is limited and needs to be reserved for Rebecca.

It doesn't cost anything to hire Rebecca as a chore maid, and Miss Devil knows 18 kinds of martial arts. She even learned a lot about her own cooking. When she doesn't want to cook, she can do it.

Others don't have Rebecca's talent.

"Locke, if you must find a maid, you must get my permission and you must have some cooking skills."

Hannah said seriously.

In fact, Hannah does not want to increase the family expenses, but considering that her younger brother seems to be very busy at work now and it is really difficult to cook food by himself, for the sake of family harmony, it seems that recruiting a maid who knows a little cooking skills is worth considering. .

"Okay, I think so too."

Locke decided to let Rebecca show her paella cooking when the time comes.

"This is the kitchen. You have just seen it. We don't need to buy these kitchen utensils and tableware. They are basically new. The landlord doesn't mind us using them. In the afternoon, people from the drinking water company will come to provide service and move our equipment in Tom's apartment. Come here and put it in the kitchen."

Locke introduced with a smile, and Hannah nodded repeatedly, "These tableware look very expensive. We must use them carefully and don't break them."

Erin meowed, indicating that it was completely cheap and she couldn't stand it.

"This is the bathroom."

Locke led one person and one cat to the 6-square-meter bathroom, which contained the latest toilet and shower head.

"Finally a separate bathroom."

Hannah said excitedly.

Erin nodded, "Yes, at least you don't have to smell that complicated and unpleasant smell."

Next, the siblings and Black Cat walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor.

"This is the study room. Books and newspapers can be put in. Well, please remember to throw away the moldy ones."

Locke reminded Hannah.

Hannah looked at the log-colored bookshelves in the study and was quite satisfied. She nodded, "I will dry them in the sun. If the sun cannot purify the mold, I will have to listen to you and abandon them."

"I suggest you try another hobby, such as collecting stamps. This will at least increase in value. Old newspapers are worthless."

Erin said calmly, but Hannah only heard two dissatisfied cat meows.

"This is the second bedroom, next to it is the powder room and bathroom. This will be my future room."

Locke said with a smile.

"Why don't you live in the master bedroom but the second bedroom?"

Hannah asked confused.

"How can I compete with the mistress of the house for the master bedroom? Isn't that overestimating one's capabilities?"

Locke smiled and shrugged.

"I am the hostess here now, and I will be a guest in the future. You will eventually get a wife. This place is so close to the study, which is very suitable for me to study. I will live here, and the master bedroom is yours."

Hannah said without any doubt.

The rent was paid by Locke. Although it was said that it was rent-free for half a year, she still felt that she owed Locke a lot and could not occupy the master bedroom.

Locke knew that Hannah was a very stubborn person, so he had no choice but to agree and took her to visit the master bedroom and attic on the third floor.

Hannah is very satisfied with the master bedroom and the loft.

"Locke, you will definitely like the attic very much when you have children in the future. We can clean it up and decorate it into a warm children's room. Oh, I can't wait to see your children."

Hannah said with a smile.

"Hannah, I'm only 17 years old. It's too early to talk about children now."

"In Kosolk, you are of age."

"Okay, what about you? When do you plan to get married?"

"Don't talk about marriage with a lady who has dreams. Marriage will only become a bondage for me."

Hannah straightened her long brown hair and showed a confident expression.

Locke shrugged, "Okay, let's stop urging each other to get married and live together peacefully."

"good."

Hannah agreed,

"We need to do a big cleaning here. Although it looks clean, there is still a lot of dust. It must have been uninhabited for a long time."

"That's right, so I took a day off today. How about you, Hannah?"

Locke asked.

"Bonnie doesn't need tutoring today. She has to take a full day of exams today. Well, I hope the results are not too ugly. I have been tutoring her for almost half a month. If I don't see any effect, I may have to Looking for a job again.”

Hannah said distressedly.

"Don't worry, Hannah, it won't be difficult for you to find a job."

Locke encouraged.

"Well, I'm sure I'll find a good job without Lloyd getting in the way."

A smile came back to Hannah's face as they finished their visit and started moving their things to their rooms.

Hannah is a woman with strong hands-on skills. She has moved all the books and newspapers to the study without Locke's help at all.

Her few clothes were also put into the wardrobe in the second bedroom.

"This wardrobe is still too big for me. I can take all my mother's old clothes out of the box and put them in, otherwise it looks empty."

Hannah said to herself.

Locke leaned against the door, "I suggest you throw away all of mom's outdated clothes. If you don't need them in the future, you need to buy some decent clothes for yourself. This is essential for a lady, oh, and hats. , parasols and small suitcases. Without them, you wouldn’t dare say you live in the East End.”

"Those are just pretentious projects, I don't need them."

Hannah said firmly.

"Then you will be very conspicuous when you go out, and it will not be pleasant to get along with the neighbors. You will not be able to stand those eyes. Believe me, Hannah, and buying those things is not expensive, except for our living expenses this month. , you can buy things for yourself with 1 silver meter every month.”

Locke turns in his salary on time every week, and the money is actually given to Hannah to use flexibly, but Hannah will save the remaining money after the living expenses.

"No, that's too wasteful. I will buy some cloth and materials myself and ask Mrs. Amor to help me make it. Trust me, she will only charge me a processing fee of 30 grams at most, which is only equivalent to the fare of one trip. ”

"Then have you ever thought that Mrs. Armor is too far away from us. If you trouble her now, it will increase the transportation cost by 60 meters."

Locke analyzed.

"Of course I know this, but even if it costs 90 meters, plus the material cost, it won't be more expensive than buying it in a store in the East District. I believe I made a profit."

Hannah looked confident, and Locke could only sigh, unable to settle accounts with a woman who knew how to run a house.

The two started cleaning, only to find that cleaning the villa covering an area of ​​150 square meters was really tiring.

In particular, there is an attic and a basement beyond the third floor of the villa.

Locke wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Hannah, who was still scrubbing the kitchen, "Hannah, I'm going out."

"Well, let's buy some vegetables when we get back."

Hannah said casually, continuing to wipe the cabinets.

Locke put on his coat, walked out of the room, and took out his golden pipe.

"Rebecca, I order you to appear as a maid. Well, our family needs a maid now."

Locke stroked the pipe, and a white smoke came out.

The smoke gradually turned into Rebecca's appearance.

She stretched sleepily, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"I don't want to be with that cat. Let her go."

"That won't do. That's my cat, and you are my slave. Who do you think has a higher status?"

Rebecca narrowed her eyes and began to curse Locke's mother in her heart.
