Chapter 13
The two maids who had other ideas pouted after hearing what Li said. One of them rolled her eyes arrogantly and said:
"Ms. Li, don't think that if you go back to visit relatives, the young master will never be able to leave you. The previous nanny didn't let us watch."
"It's just like someone can't live without you. Your husband can't live without you for a month." Another maid said poking at her heart.
Ms. Li is in a good mood today and doesn't mind their strange talk. The past month of getting along has made her realize that these two people are not easy to get along with.
"This is very good. I can go back to visit my relatives with peace of mind."
When Mrs. Li came to the room, she didn't care whether she had breakfast or not. When the young master woke up and saw her about to leave, she cried and refused to let her go.
The young master has been so attached to her in the past month, and she doesn't believe the maid said that the young master won't cry when she leaves.
Mrs. Li took two bags, one was a larger bag to take home, and the other was a smaller bag to take back to her parents' home. After staying in a closed space in the county town for a month, she missed her mother too.
.
In the past, Mr. Li's mother-in-law was in charge of the money that the couple made. She had no idea before, thinking that food and expenses were all at home, and it didn't matter who was in charge of the money...!
Ever since she gave birth to a baby a month ago, she has been living in such a miserable state. The family has treated her like a pig or a dog. When a pig or dog gets sick, there will be a veterinarian. Even a midwife for her was not hired for her.
This is to open up new branches for their family. Is it her idea to have a boy or a girl?
Mrs. Li was a little frustrated, but there were several dolls in the house. What would she do if she left the dolls?
I have seen a lot in the past month of working here, listening to those people chatting about saving personal money.
At that time, Ms. Li was thinking that if she had not been so honest and had saved so much private money, the children would not have been so miserable, and she would not have been so sad.
These two times, she couldn't bring the money she received from the eldest lady with her, nor could she keep it in the room in the courtyard. She thought of a way, which was to go back to her mother's house first and give the money to her mother for safekeeping, even if she could use it herself.
, that is also honoring your mother.
She has been giving birth to girls in the past few years, and his own mother has given her a considerable subsidy.
Sometimes I feel that Ms. Lai is right, she is the loser and always goes to her husband’s house!
Mrs. Li walked out of the side door, where an ordinary carriage was parked. The driver of the carriage nodded politely when he saw her. Because the relationship between men and women was not intimate, it was not good to say anything more. If you said too much, people would misunderstand.
Mrs. Li just nodded. She had seen this carriage driver once. He was in the carriage when he came to the house last time. She got on the carriage and sat down and said to the carriage driver:
"Brother Coachman, please send the little woman to the ancient village first. I have something to do there."
"Okay, you can show me the way. Li, you can call me wherever you want today, but you must come back after Xiangwu. This is the steward's order."
"Understood, let's do as the master says. If the little lady does something wrong, please remind the coachman."
"Well, we are all errands, so we can do it."
The carriage didn't go very fast, but it went very smoothly, and it didn't bump much on uneven roads. This was because the driver was good at driving.
The time Li went to the county town crying before, she didn't appreciate the scenery along the way. Maybe she was in a different mood when she returned home today. She was in the mood to appreciate the scenery and sighed in her heart that the rich and the poor are really different.
Even an ordinary wet nurse like her could take a carriage back. If it were in the past, she would have walked on two legs. Such a long distance would not have been covered in an hour.
I also saw people carrying things to sell in the county town, walking in a hurry.
Li felt that her mood was different and the things she saw were different.
This trip to the county broadened her horizons and strengthened her cowardly character.
Mrs. Li asked the coachman to stop at the intersection of the ancient village and took the two bundles. It was not that she didn't believe the coachman, but the things inside were bought by her for her baby.
When we came to the door of my parents' house, most of the people in every household went to work in the fields at this time, leaving only the elderly and children.
Ms. Li came to her mother's house and knocked on the door. Suddenly, multiple footsteps ran out. The footsteps were children. When the children opened the door, they saw it was her. She was not wearing the ordinary clothes before and was tanned.
Ms. Li's skin has become a lot whiter in the past month. She was born with fair skin and beautiful features. Now standing in front of the door, the dolls are a little afraid to call out for fear of recognizing the wrong person.
"Don't you know the second aunt? I haven't seen you for a few months and I don't call you the second aunt anymore." Li is the second eldest child in the family. She has an eldest brother, an eldest sister, and a younger brother. The younger brother's boy is still young, only one year old.
many.
"It's the second aunt, hahaha."
"Grandma, the second aunt is here!"
As the boys and girls screamed, an old woman with gray hair walked out of the house, holding a boy over one year old in her arms.
"Mom, my daughter is here." When Mrs. Li saw Grandma Qi, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Come here first, have you suffered a lot in the county town?" Grandma Qi saw her daughter. She was very worried about her daughter this month. She heard from people in their village that someone took her daughter to be a nanny.
Grandma Qi was only worried about her daughter's children. She was even more worried that something might happen to her daughter in a wealthy family. How could someone born in a poor family know how many rules a wealthy family had?
Today I saw Ms. Li dressed very well, with a little flesh on her face. This is the result of good food and good living.
Mrs. Li went in and untied one of the small bundles while many dolls looked at her.
"Is this a snack?"
"Yes, it's delicious!" Ms. Li brought snacks to the dolls. The eldest lady had them deliver them in the evening yesterday. These snacks can be stored for a day or two and are soft and glutinous snacks suitable for the elderly and children.
.
Mrs. Li distributed the snacks to the children, and gave another piece to Grandma Qi, and then to the child in her arms.
"It's good to see you when we come back. What snacks should we buy? We can't spend it like this if we have money. We have to think about the baby." Grandma Qi talked about such good snacks and was reluctant to eat them.
"Mother, this is specially prepared for me to come back to visit my relatives. I thought of you before I came back, so I came back here to take a look. Mom, I still have... let's go to the room and talk." Ms. Li wanted to say the next words.
, seeing these half-grown children again, I was afraid that they would spill the beans.
"Okay." Grandma Qi put down the one-year-old baby and asked his sisters and brothers to take it with her. She and Mrs. Li came to her small room.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Grandma Qi sat down on the bed and asked her daughter to sit down on a small stool in front of the bed.
"Mom, I was at the master's house this time, and the eldest lady rewarded me with money twice. I can't take this money back and keep it with you."
