The three long-term laborers didn't just lack wives; they seldom even went home anymore.
They were driven out of their homes to earn a living through work, and after two years as temporary laborers, they finally settled down with the Bai Family. They did go home during that time.
But back in their hometowns, they either had no land or very little, and life was tough. It was better for them to work as long-term laborers for the Bai Family.
Basically, as long as one wasn't exceptionally lazy, they wouldn't be driven away. Without being sent away, they had food every day and could survive.
They wouldn't become rich, but even in years of disaster, their lives were still better than those of the average poor family because, at the very least, they wouldn't die of starvation, nor would they have to become refugees.
Now, the eldest of these three long-term laborers had reached twenty-four years of age.
In Qili Village, children of that age could already work the fields.
