After the wet nurse carried the child away, Lady Jin sat down and told Xu Mingwei something.
It turned out that the wet nurse was surnamed Lan and had grown up in the capital. He had three children of his own as well, and his family’s men had no future. They had to raise their children from top to bottom, but it was difficult for them to feed each other. They had to rely on her work outside to fill up the household. This time, just after giving birth to her youngest son, she was asked about it by the Lady Jin. Furthermore, she was born white and had worked in a large family, so she knew the rules.
The Fu Family gave her one tael of silver a month, and Lady Helan pasted another two taels on her. This would earn her three taels of silver a month, and that was not even including the reward from the main house. Such a sum of money was extremely generous. She didn’t expect that the Lam’s wife would come knocking on her door the day before yesterday. In the end, although she taught the Lam’s wife a lesson, she left out a lot of arguments. So it turned out that her own youngest son didn’t get any milk and could only boil some oily rice porridge to feed her daily, which was quite pitiful.
When Xu Mingwei heard the Lady Jin mention this, she frowned and said, “Three silver is already quite a sum, even if it was just milk and cattle, it would be fine. Since her own men couldn’t bear to part with their son, she should give up her job. He was greedy for the money that was given to him, so she said those words in a roundabout way. What kind of logic was that? Could it be that I have to get a wet nurse to raise a son for his family? There is no such thing as cheap as this in the world. ”
Needless to say, she had not started drinking milk yet, so Lam’s wife feeding her with some milk was just enough for her. One was a child of the main house, the other was a child of his own. If she had one eye wrong, the Lam’s wife would only hold his son tightly behind her back, who knows how many times Jiao Jiao could drink. Although his words didn’t sound good, it wasn’t as if he had never heard of such a thing. Usually, when they were at home, Lady Helan would tell her stories about other families. She knew that her heart was soft and it was easy to be confused.
Lady Jin said lightly, “Grandmother’s words are reasonable. Since he accepted the money, he had to do something. I was not sure if she wanted to borrow my mouth to talk to my grandmother. If that’s not good, it would be easy to change it. ”
Xu Mingwei nodded and said, “I have always been at ease when you do things.”
As he thought of the fact that the one year agreement was only a few months away, he smiled and said, “There is a sentence that I have never asked you before. Why do I have to keep the one year agreement? “I would like you to stay there for a long time so that Jiao Jiao can call you mother from now on.”
Lady Jin’s eyes turned red, a surprised look flashed past them. If it were not for the fact that she was already used to her cold face, it would have been difficult for Xu Mingwei to see the emotions in her eyes.
“The one year agreement is the reason why I lost the bet. Previously, he had told his grandma that his family was in the medicinal herb business and that he spent half a year of the year outside. Only after some time did he find out that he had married a wife in Silver Reach. In the capital, all the waiters call me Lady Jin. In Silver City, there is someone else in Lady Jin. ”
Xu Mingwei never thought that her house would be like this. She had heard that businessmen did not abide by the rules. They often married their respective wives and, regardless of their size, they were nicknamed “The Big Two”. Some of them already knew that they were an equal wife, and some of them were hidden from others. Only after the children were born did they realize that they were not the only one.
Seeing Xu Mingwei’s surprised look, Lady Jin smiled, and said: “I think grandmother knows what these two big shots mean. I have been to the Jin family for more than three years, so I know that there is a Lady Jin who is two years my age. When I stay and leave, he won’t let me go. After tangling around for a long time, he made it convenient for me to meet up with him. If she could earn ten thousand taels of gold within a year, then she would let me and Li Shu go. To get ten thousand taels of gold within a year is already wishful thinking, and he knows that it won’t do, so she changed the bet. She wanted me to leave home for a year and work for someone for a year.
Xu Mingwei could not help but exclaim, “To think that you would actually behave like that! Why didn’t you sue him? Even if you go to work for free this year, what will happen if he doesn’t recognize you? ”
Lady Jin sighed, and said, “Grandmother does not know of the external world. How could a lawsuit be won so easily? As a husband, he had to leave. As long as he could get rid of seven husbands, he would be able to leave at any time. However, as a wife, if she wanted to leave, her husband would have to let her go or else she would have no way out of this world. During these three years, I spent a lot of time with him, but I never had a child or a daughter. I can’t bring shame to the Mu Family, and I can’t stand that dirty air either. Even if there’s only a sliver of hope, I can only depend on my luck to fight it out. ”
Towards this unfair world, what else could Xu Mingwei say? She could only sigh in sympathy, and ask her mother again, but there was no way that she could help Lady Jin get rid of the Jin Clan.
“Is your husband home now?” Xu Mingwei asked.
The Lady Jin nodded, “Last month, when I went back, I heard from the old servant that it was about to be time to return to the capital. I was just about to ask him if he wanted me to write a written report. ”
Xu Mingwei suddenly thought of something and asked, “Since you know about the person in Yin Li, does that person know about you in the capital? Once the two of them get used to it, they will probably lose all ability to rely on themselves. If they don’t want to let him go, then so be it. ”
The Lady Jin shook his head and said, “How do you think I know who sent the letter first? She told me happily that she had a fat boy and was laughing at me for being a whoopee and not laying an egg, and I haven’t had a sh * t in the latrine all these years. ”
“He really knows how to show off his strength.” Xu Mingwei sighed, “It’s good that you don’t have a child by your side, otherwise, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to escape. “But it’s weird, why is your husband so adamant on not letting you go?”
Lady Jin said, “Back then when he came to my house to propose, he had her eyes on my mother’s cooking skills. At that time, my mother also did not have the spirit and was afraid that I would not be able to stay alone in the capital. Even though she promised me hastily, she could not see that he was not a good person. These years, he asked a lot of questions about my family heirloom. However, the rules of the Mu family are that only daughters are not passed down to males, and neither are they passed on to males. “He married me for no good reason, and hated me for being a coffin man. She refused to give in to my wishes and tried to grind me down.”
Xu Mingwei did not expect that it would be such a reason, but thinking about it, it made sense. The Jin family was a family that was used to make medicinal herbs. If they could obtain the inheritance of the Mu family, wouldn’t they have to grow up in the capital? How much interest is there to earn here? No wonder he refused to let them go.
Thinking about it this way, even at the end of the year, the Jin Clan still wouldn’t let him go. Xu Mingwei couldn’t bear to say these words to her, he could only wait for the right moment and tell Lady Helan. If he could help her, that would be for the best. If he couldn’t, how could he help Xu Mingmei?
Lady Jin did not know that she had already planned this out for him. Seeing her bright black hair that was hanging down on the satin, he suddenly thought of something and immediately got up to carry the tray. She saw a peach wood comb on top of it. There was a small bowl of something in the shape of a dried powder. It was white in color. She did not know what kind of powder it was.
Xu Mingwei asked curiously, “What is this, used to comb my hair? He had sweated so much yesterday, and his head was in pain. If it wasn’t because I couldn’t move my hair, I’d be fine after cutting it. It’s hot and troublesome. ”
Lady Jin then pushed her head away and laid down, then used a dry powder to slowly comb her hair, and said softly, “This is my family’s hair washing powder, I can’t tell you what it is made from, but it will not itch after it is used, it will also help to stop the perspiration, and also have the effect of decontaminating and nurturing your hair.”
Xu Mingwei thought to herself, this was great, she was already worried about how bad she was going to be if she did not wash her hair for the next thirty odd days. The powder had been brushed together with the fragrance of jasmine. It smelled really good. Teaching Lady Jin how to comb his hair at a leisurely pace, Xu Mingwei’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and soon she fell asleep.
A trace of laughter flashed past Lady Jin’s eyes. She carefully put away the things, slowly righteous the people, covered them with the blanket, and brought the tray out. Originally, she had only agreed to the Xu family’s Madam Xu’s request for the sake of the one year agreement. The Mu Clan’s heir sounded respectable, but he was still a servant. When she was young, she disapproved of her mother’s endless praise for her mistress, and thought that if she became a family in the future, she would definitely not eat this kind of servant food. She didn’t expect that in the end, she would still have to rely on what her mother had taught her in order to find a way to survive.
In this year that she had been serving Xu Mingwei at the Fu Clan, on the surface, she had still taken a monthly fee. But because she had made the bet of working for a year for free, she had to send a monthly fee to the Jin Clan. However, he didn’t know how the Xu family’s wife found out about this. She secretly made a promise to him and used her name to deposit a hundred taels of silver at the Seiyuan Bank. As long as he went there, he would be able to receive it immediately. Lady Jin suddenly thought of the warm smile on Lady Helan’s face when she said this. No wonder her mother still thought highly of the mistress of the house even when she died. It would not be a bad thing if he could escape from the Jin Clan and live in the Fu Clan for a long time.
