Since Sister Xian is the housekeeper here, So Qiu Yingshan didn’t deliberately act in Lin Wan’er (Alani)’s capacity.
When picking up the plane, Sister Xian could tell that her husband and wife respected Lin Wan’er (Alani) very much, it could even be said to be respectful, so Lin Wan’er (Alani) could never be a relative or even a junior of the husband and wife.
Moreover, she knows best how much the husband attaches importance to this highest courtyard, why everyone must let her follow when they come here, it is because the husband does not want any of the servants to damage the furnishings and arrangements here.
But now, he generously gave this place to Lin Wan’er (Alani) to live in. From this, it can be seen that Lin Wan’er (Alani) holds a very heavy weight in his heart!
At this time, Lin Wan’er (Alani) asked Sister Xian, “By the way, how many servants are there?”
Sister Xian replied, “There are sixteen aunts in total, four bodyguards, and two drivers. There are twenty-three people in total.”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) asked in surprise, “There are so many aunts?”
“Yes.” Sister Xian replied, “There are four aunts who are in charge of washing and cooking, and there are 4 aunts who are in charge of sanitation and maintenance everywhere. There are eight, and there are four aunts who are in charge of gardening, but there are also some who are more flexible and can be deployed temporarily if there is any need.”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) asked again, “Where are these servants from?”
Sister Xian said, “They are all from Malaysia. I came here when I came here. At that time, they were carefully selected from the servants at home.”
“Understood.” Lin Wan’er (Alani) nodded slightly, and felt a little relieved.
These people are all from Malaysia and have served the Qiu family for many years. They are basically innocent domestic slaves.
Although the nature of domestic slaves no longer exists in the mainland, in Southeast Asia, this tradition is still preserved in the wealthy families.
For the real rich in Southeast Asia, the ratio of domestic servants to their own family members can sometimes reach five to one or even higher.
In order to ensure stability and reliability as much as possible, and to reduce personnel turnover, they often adopt this kind of domestic slavery. They recruited the other party to work at home when he was a teenager, and stayed at home until he retired, and then the family served as a slave. His old age will die.
Most of these servants who chose house slaves were from poor families, and a large family member needed to support them, so one of them was sent to a wealthy family as a servant.
There are many advantages to being a servant. In my family, I eat well, live well, and earn a lot of money, and almost all the money I earn can be saved to subsidize the family. The family does not need them to have high education and proficiency in other languages. They work hard and diligently.
In the economically underdeveloped Southeast Asian region, many families and individuals yearn for such a job.
Therefore, the vast majority of servants also regard domestic slavery as a lifetime job, and are even willing to give up marriage and childbirth for this reason.
Servants who grow up in this environment cherish their work, are loyal to their family, and have little contact with the outside world, and are less likely to be biased by bad thoughts from the outside world. The safety factor is naturally much higher.
Lin Wan’er (Alani) liked this place more and more. She, who was always calm, rarely said to Sister Xian excitedly, “I have some things that I need. I will make a list later, and you can help me buy them.”
Sister Xian said respectfully, “Okay.” Miss Lin, if you give me the form, I will do it right away!”
