I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law
Chapter 242 Women in the Leather Factory 2
When they migrated to the Giant Wolf Territory, Aimee was taken away by the Grand Duke in the name of taking care of his niece.
After that, apart from Helen coming to deliver messages, Helen would only come secretly every month when the Grand Duke provided food relief to give everyone some news about Aimee.
After that, food became less and less, and the soldiers started to cause trouble for unknown reasons, and were taken over by the giant wolf leader.
Without the soldiers, the knights also left or dispersed. Except for the knights left by the old lord, only a few knights from the Serra Legion remained.
Everyone knew that it was the Giant Wolf Leader's people who were causing trouble, but because they were living under someone else's roof, they had to swallow their anger.
But afterwards, the people of the Giant Wolf Leader extended their hands to the leather factory.
The women in the leather factory have to take care of the children, and they don't have much strength in their hands, so naturally they rely on other people in the territory to take care of them.
There were no problems at first, but then complaints arose, and some even wanted to break into the women's rooms, saying that the men in the territory fed them and they had to contribute to the men.
At first, Hannah just endured it, and Maureen wanted to intervene but didn't dare to. Later, it became too much and several women were tortured to death.
Maureen also gritted her teeth and gave a death order, saying that she would have the knight kill anyone who dared to go over there again.
But in this way, men were unwilling to work, and there were even fewer supplies for women.
The people from the Giant Wolf Territory took advantage of the situation and rushed in, wanting to use the Giant Wolf Territory's entry into the city in exchange for the women's leatherworking skills.
At this point, Hannah was already crying out of grievance. She said:
“Back when there was no leather-making technology, everyone could eat coarse flour, but now… Later, Maureen built this place and asked us to move here.
Master Mage, I have betrayed your trust."
"Ugh."
Bennett sighed and gently wiped the tears from Hannah's face, but ended up with a hand full of dandruff.
In such an environment, there is no other way to get water without freezing into ice except to burn it with firewood.
These women are reluctant to even boil water for washing their faces.
Gently holding Hannah in his arms, Bennett asked with a sad face:
"Those women who were bullied, how are they doing now? Has anyone had any problems?"
Hannah cried and said:
"Everyone has been through everything when they were in Cooke County, and everyone is fine."
Bennett asked again:
"How are those women who went to the Giant Wolf Territory doing?"
Judy's eyes suddenly lit up with anger, and she jumped up and down and said:
"Who cares? They'll freeze to death, get sold to the Hong Kong Coliseum, or be sent to be military prostitutes. They'll definitely not survive anyway."
Bennett patted Hannah on the back and looked at the jumping little maid, but he felt no resentment towards those women in his heart.
He sighed, helped Hannah up, and said:
"In this environment, it's really too much of a stretch to ask them to obey something like loyalty. They're not warriors."
Judy didn't care what Bennett said, she just said with veins popping out of her head:
"Master, what are you talking about? Leatherworking technology is so valuable. Every time the lord collected leather, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. But now it has been leaked. Master, you are the head of the family and don't know how expensive oil and salt are..."
Bennett felt both amused and sad. The silly little maid with circle eyes never had such things in her mind, but now she was forced into this state by life.
I could only interrupt Judy and said helplessly:
"No matter how expensive the technology is, it's not as expensive as people. It's just a leatherworking technology. If you can exchange more supplies with people, you should do it directly."
Judy was still not convinced and wanted to say something angrily, but Bennett glared at her. She still said nothing and turned her head to the side to sulk.
Bennett asked:
"Have you told Aimee about this?"
When asked this, Judy felt disappointed again and said:
"Every time Miss Helen came, she would put down the grain cart and leave in a hurry. She also told us that we couldn't tell her about the territory because she was under surveillance."
Bennett sighed, shook his head and said:
"You are just shortsighted. If the Giant Wolf Leader really wanted to get this technology, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. He could just rob it from someone.
Moreover, we were living under someone else's roof and had no soldiers to protect us. The merchants in the north would definitely stop at nothing to try to get a hold of this technology.
If it were Aimee, on the first day she discovered someone had the technology to peer into the sky, she would have exchanged the technology for supplies without any hesitation.
Besides, technology is not as important as people. A noble’s responsibility is to his people. Protecting his people is above all else. What does a piece of technology count for? "
Judy's brain turned, but she couldn't think of any rebuttal, so she could only say stubbornly:
"Young Master, you should tell Sister Mo Lin about this. She might praise you a few words. I don't have the ability to do that. I can't help but applaud you even though you are talking nonsense."
Bennett was even more at a loss for words. This little maid...
Hannah also spoke at this time:
"Master Mage, it is my fault for not managing things properly. I..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this, Hannah. I will have to rely on you in the future. When we return to the territory, you will still have things to do in the factory."
"Master Mage, such an oversight has occurred. I..."
Hannah wanted to say something, but Bennett pinched Hannah's lips and said:
"Whatever I say is what it is, you have no right to resist."
Hannah pursed her lips and hummed, "Hmm."
Bennett glanced at everyone again and said:
"Okay, take the people in your tent and pack up the things in the tent. You can't live here anymore."
Hannah nodded and looked at the women next to her, who began to pack their clothes and utensils.
Hannah looked around and then she remembered that Bennett hadn't even had a sip of hot water since he entered the tent.
But there is no hot water in the house. Only in the morning, when everyone eats, will they drink the water that was warmed in the evening.
"Hey you, you have a lot of milk, squeeze out a bowl of it for the adults."
Bennett was shocked. How come these people haven't forgotten about this?
"No, no, no, it's so cold here, what if the wind blows?"
After saying that, Bennett hurried out of the tent. He didn't dare to stay in it any longer.
In the camp, the women gathered outside Hannah's tent, and when Bennett came out, everyone retreated together.
"Master Mage."
"Since you are back this time, you will never leave again."
"Nonsense, Master Mage has already suffered a natural disaster, why are you leaving?"
Bennett was surrounded by women, who were talking at once, and he didn't know who to respond to.
Fortunately, at this time, Hannah came out of the tent and shouted:
"Why are you crowding here? It's so smelly. Go back to your tents."
The women left smiling, and Bennett breathed a sigh of relief. He admired these women in his heart. They had been through so much, but their spirits were still so good.
"Let everyone pack up, I will take you to the new place to live later."
