Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 526 The Laundress's Girl
Cheska thought for a long time before he thought of a little girl.

The youngest daughter of the castle's laundress.

In Lowry's castle, doing laundry wasn't too much hard work.

They don't need to use their hands to rub the clothes in cold water, but they need to have strength to push the tools.

But for them, who could barely be considered knights' squires, this little bit of hard work was nothing. They could basically complete the task by spending two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon.

The rest of the time can naturally be spent on practicing and doing housework.

However, they can also be said to be the least talented people in this castle, and have almost no chance of becoming knights.

Therefore, Chesca can understand why these girls finally chose to return to their families.

After all, in Qingfeng Territory, especially in the castle, there would not be men who treat their wives and daughters badly.

Of course, women will also be law-abiding and loving to their children and husbands...Domestic violence is never just a gender issue, but a question of fighting power and the ability to resist.

Of course, the real essence is still a question of character.

The cruelty of the world is that there is indeed a natural difference in strength between men and women.

But this doesn't mean that women with this ability won't do the same thing after gaining overwhelming power.

The environment in which Chesca grew up was right on this borderline.

Indeed, men are more likely to resort to violence, especially drunkards, but there are also female knights who are capable of such cruel actions.

The world of the nobility is a little better.

They either don't fight at all, or if they do it's to kill, there's no time for violent brawls.

Lady Yagris and Count Montes don’t count… Although Count Montes was injured in the face, everyone knows that Lady Yagris was hurt in the heart.

They were just trying to regain some balance in this way, otherwise one of them would die sooner or later.

The most important thing is that even though Count Montes is so bad, he is not really that bad.

He just didn't love Mrs. Yagris and Lowry, and that was not a sin.

Lowry himself didn't care, he didn't love the man anyway.

However, precisely because everyone knows what happened to Baron Qingfeng and his son, everyone can understand Lori's strict requirements on certain things.

He may not care, but he doesn't want certain things to happen in his territory, and that's fine.

Even though this is a bit contrary to common sense.

Although Lowry himself did not feel anything, he just used what he thought were normal people's moral cultivation to make rules for managing the castle.

He even thought that he was very tolerant and did not have any unnecessary demands on his subjects except the legal and moral bottom line.

However, in the outside world, especially the nobles, hearing about his rules would scare a lot of people away... They practiced hard, not to "be a good person".

Even ordinary people, who have many fantasies about their future, feel too restricted here.

Although Qingfeng Territory does not accept many outsiders, there are many restrictions.

But if many people want to obtain the household registration of Qingfeng Territory, the population will not increase by more than dozens a year.

However, those who can understand that Lowry’s requirements are not really strict, and are very suitable for ordinary people who just want to live an ordinary life, don’t feel that they can only live like that.

But Qingfeng's servants, including the knights, are different.

These are people who have gone through numerous screenings and have determined that they would rather accept this kind of bondage than go out into the outside world and be tortured.

Lowry is very tolerant of people who have not violated his rules but just don't want to continue living in his territory, and it is easy for them to leave if they want to.

As long as he investigates and finds that the person has not done anything to harm the territory, he can leave.

As for whether leaving the territory would bring any trouble to the territory...the focus of Lori's territory was only himself.

Even if Toller's four siblings betrayed him together, at most it would only hurt him a little and cost him some money, but it would not affect his foundation at all.

No one was forced to stay in Qingfeng Territory, and those who wanted to leave couldn't even hear anyone trying to keep them.

Therefore, those who stay will not be the type who feel good about themselves and think that they are forced to do so.

When everyone in an environment feels that they are living a happy life and have hope for the future, that feeling is really good.

Chesca has been the steward of the territory for so many years, and he sincerely feels that he is getting more and more energetic, and even his strength is increasing rapidly!
Although, it was more likely that she felt good about herself. After all, she had eaten so many good things from Lori and stayed with the dragon every day, but she could only barely keep up with Taylor's pace.
-
"Miss Chesca, I brought Cheryl here." Washerwoman Jenna Dean brought her three-year-old daughter to the study.

Although she was asked such an abrupt request out of nowhere, Jenna Dean was not worried at all.

Their lord is a serious man, and he is not interested in women, well... nor is he interested in men.

The look he gave to everyone was cold and indifferent, including the cute children. If they didn't know that the lord was devoted to the path of a mage and also loved to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery, they would have suspected that the baron was no longer a human being!

Therefore, Jenna Dean already knew that when she came to the big study, she would most likely meet Miss Chesca, who managed them... so she didn't have to worry about that.

Baron Lowry will never allow anyone to harm his people on his territory!

Cheska stood up, walked to the alchemy room, and waved to the mother and daughter: "Come over here."

The little girl had light blonde hair, a pair of big sapphire eyes on her round face, and a pink little mouth slightly open. She was peeking from behind her mother's skirt at the room full of books.

However, Cheska could tell at a glance that this girl was by no means an honest child.

Her mother, Jenna Dean, didn't say anything to her. She just bent down, grabbed her clothes from the back, and carried her over here.

Although Chesca didn't know Cheryl, she was familiar with Jenna, who had been in the castle for ten years.

Because the washerwomen had very poor talents, many of them gradually gave up their pursuit of strength after entering the family.

Of course, they did not all give up, and they continued to train with the team every morning and evening.

Even for a great knight, once he completely stops practicing, his body will slowly become heavy, and his skin and muscles will begin to sag... Even men are unwilling to accept this result.

It doesn't take much time and energy, and an hour of basic training every morning and evening is not tiring at all for them who have long been accustomed to it.

In addition to the time they spend pushing the machinery every day, these washerwomen are still able to maintain their servant rank.

But Jenna continued to complete her full training, even though, after so many years of hard work, she was only a ninth-level servant.

But, at least at the attendant stage, she is already among the strongest.

Jenna's endurance and willpower can be imagined, and she also has a very calm and composed personality.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have remained the unique one when her colleagues were gradually giving up.

It is impossible for a Jenna like her to have no patience with her own children.

The only possibility is that the more care you give, the more miserable you become.

Well... a more lively child, Chesca had seen one before: Lori.

Although Lowry is very nice and well-behaved now, when he was a child, he was really... crazy.

Mrs. Yagris's weird behavior was all caused by her son.

After all, when dealing with a mentally ill husband, you can just beat him up. It relieves stress and makes you feel better.

But it is really difficult to deal with a son who is only five or six years old and a level 12 knight.

What if you get carried away by anger while taking a photo and use a little too much strength?
He is my biological son, and he is just a little playful and mischievous.

Even if he sneaked out of the castle through the sewer in the middle of the night and went to the top of an unknown mountain to find a "friend" of unknown origin, he was still his biological son... Cheska used to think it was funny, but now Cheska feels that life is bleak when he thinks about having such a son.

In short, Mrs. Yagris's method of dealing with Lori is just like Jenna's... no words or explanations, just grabbing him to the place and giving orders.

Sure enough, Cheryl just shrank her neck, then skillfully stretched out a little hand to grab her mother's skirt, her big eyes rolling around.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jenna." Cheska said gently.

Jenna's whole body stiffened, and she suddenly felt a sense of the tragic heroism of "a man will die for his friend".

God knows how Cheryl has been getting by since she was able to walk and run!

Don’t be fooled by the girl now, she is dressed neatly and has her hair done straight, that is all because she hurriedly dressed after hearing the summons!

In ten minutes she could clean up a ball of mud into a presentable state... She had really reached the top level in the profession of washerwoman.

The child’s father only knows that Cheryl must be very talented since she is so active and just smiles widely every day!

Cheryl is just a girl...she couldn't really count on him.

Working in Qingfengling Castle is really easy.

The Baron was very generous.

The washerwoman can use the laundry machine she is responsible for to clean her own clothes, and her husband, an orchard worker, can borrow agricultural machinery to plant a few fruit trees for their own family... Every year, the orchard clears out some fruit tree seedlings growing in inappropriate places, and then opens a few plots of land for growing vegetables next to their home.

The Baron won't care about these things.

The servants' three meals a day were provided by the castle's main kitchen.

Although the children have to cook their own food, they can take it home to eat!
For families with younger children, such as hers, they only cook on the fixed day off every week.

Although servants' rest days are not fixed, they can apply for the same day after getting married.
