I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

Qiao Linxi sat in the carriage, and Zhang Huawei drove to their mansion. Looking at the magnificent gate, Zhang Huawei was a little skeptical of Qiao Linxi's words. How could a peasant girl live in such a big yard?

"I got this yard by chance. It's overgrown with weeds. I have to clean it up in the next few days."

Qiao Linxi looked at the door and thought that he should make a plaque and call it "Qiao Mansion". The days to come would be better and better.

"Sister, you're back? Wow, where did the carriage come from? It's so beautiful."

When Qiao Linshu saw Qiao Linxi coming back, he quickly ran out to pick her up.

"This is……"

Qiao Linxi introduced Qiao Linshu: "This is Zhang Huawei. You can just call him Brother Zhang. He will live with us from now on."

Although Qiao Linshu was very curious as to why there were always such good-looking men around Qiao Linxi, he did not say much. After calling "Brother Zhang", he went to look at the carriage.

The other children came running when they heard the noise, and were all attracted by the carriage.

"There are a lot of children, please forgive me."

Zhang Huawei shook his head and didn't mind. He could also see that these dozen children were not born from the same parents.

"Sister Lin Xi, Lin Bao went to his master. He told me to tell you to go find him if you have any problems. He is with that Sister Xiao."

Qiao Linshan came out holding Qiao Linle. When she saw Zhang Huawei, she was still surprised. How could Qiao Linxi go out and bring a man back? It looked like she wanted to keep this man.

They are all children, mostly girls. Will there be any hidden dangers if an adult man is left at home?

But seeing Qiao Linxi's indifferent look, Qiao Linshan didn't want to say anything more.

"This is Zhang Huawei. He came with his carriage to be a slave in our Qiao family. From now on, you can just call him Brother Zhang."

"This..." Qiao Linshan didn't understand Qiao Linxi. Their current life was not guaranteed yet, so why did they buy slaves? Only those rich and powerful families could afford slaves, right?

"It's okay. We are all children. Having an adult here won't make us bullied. I'm telling you..."

Qiao Linxi hugged Qiao Linshan and walked into the yard, whispering, "There's something wrong with this Zhang Huawei, and he's a mute. When I went out, I happened to see him and his master in a car accident, so I saved him, but his master died. I felt sorry for him, so I brought him back. You see, we're all poor people, so we'll help as much as we can."

Qiao Linshan looked back at Zhang Huawei and said, "Idiot? I don't think he is."

"Hey, who says fools have to be unkempt and have runny noses? Anyway, he will be a member of our Qiao family from now on."

"But Sister Lin Xi, is it inappropriate for him to live at home as an adult man?"

"What are you thinking about?" Qiao Linxi patted Qiao Linshan's forehead. Are children nowadays so precocious? They already know about the things between men and women.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'll put him in the back room and watch over the carriage. He'll be fine. Not all grown men have dirty hearts."

Seeing that Qiao Linxi insisted on doing so, Qiao Linshan didn't say anything more and changed the subject.

"Do you want to go out and look at shops today? I'll go with you."

"No need. You can take the others to clean up the house. This yard is not small, so the workload is still very large. I can take the mute slave with me."

Qiao Linxi can look after the shop by herself, but Qiao Linshan is the oldest among the group of children besides her, so she has to look after them all.

"That's fine. There are a lot of things to do at home."

Zhang Huawei put the carriage in place and then walked into the yard. This yard had indeed been abandoned for a long time. It would take some time to clean it up.

"Mute slave, come here, I'll take you to your room." Qiao Linxi waved at Zhang Huawei, who nodded and followed her.

The two walked towards the backyard, and Qiao Linxi said as they walked, "I'll put you in the backyard and watch over the carriage. Do you have any objections?"

Zhang Huawei shook his head: Miss Qiao, I am your servant, how could I have any objection?

After looking at the yard, the two returned to the kitchen. The group of children were already sitting there waiting for dinner.

Looking at this large group of children, Zhang Huawei's head started pounding. This Miss Qiao was so amazing. A girl could actually lead this group of children so far.

"We are running low on food, so we may have to tighten our belts. Once our business picks up, we can eat as much as we want."

Qiao Linxi still took out two meals, but did not touch the previously stored food, which was produced from this morning and lunch boxes.

Zhang Huawei was very surprised. He didn't see anyone start the fire, but where did the food come from? And the steamed buns were still steaming. This Miss Qiao had a big secret.

No matter what secrets she has, now that she holds her indenture contract in her hand, she is her own master, and she will never do anything to betray her master.

Each person gets a steamed bun, some vegetables and a bowl of soup, which can make them 70% full. Younger children like Qiao Linle can't eat that much, so they are basically full with just one steamed bun. So older children can still eat a little more.

Of course, Qiao Linxi did not forget to let the children be grateful. She also told Zhang Huawei that this was the rule of their Qiao family. They needed to perform a gratitude ceremony every day after getting up and before every meal.

Although Zhang Huawei didn't understand the meaning of doing this, he was a servant after all, so he did whatever his master said.

Looking at the gratitude value of more than 1,000, Qiao Linxi felt that he was too rich. More than 1,000 gratitude points were equivalent to 1,000 yuan. Not to mention that now is an era of rapid economic development, 1,000 yuan is a small amount of money for anyone.

In this environment, there are still many people who do not have normal jobs, have no food to eat, and cannot even take out a thousand yuan.

After dinner, Qiao Linxi took Zhang Huawei to the city. She first went to the government office to find Li Guancha, whom she met that day. He was familiar with Lanqing City and must know where there were shops. By the way, she asked him what procedures were required to open a shop.

Qiao Linxi was very lucky. Today, when she came to the government office, she happened to meet Li Guancha on duty. Upon learning the purpose of Qiao Linxi's visit, Qiao Linxi was surprised.

"Miss Qiao, are you going to open a shop?"

It was not easy for a little girl to settle down here with a dozen brothers and sisters, but she actually wanted to open a shop. Who is this little girl and how can she be so capable?

"Yes, Brother Li, do you know where there is a better shop?"

Officer Li looked at Qiao Linxi and remembered that she was arrested and taken to the government office a few days ago. He felt a little guilty and apologized: "Miss Qiao, I was transferred to a business trip a few days ago, so I didn't know that you were arrested. I'm really sorry. If I were here, I would definitely seek justice for you."
