Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C237
Xiaowan tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss her husband. She looked at him proudly, but of course she would not be ashamed.
Ling Chaofeng kissed her on the forehead and said lovingly: “Wait for me at home. Take care of your body.”
Her husband rode his horse and left. Xiaowan hugged her daughter and waved goodbye. She initially wanted to watch her husband leave, but when she heard Little Qi’s sobbing, she quickly turned back.
When she went upstairs, she saw Third Lady standing at the top of the stairs, looking towards the top. Little Pei was looking at his brother, if she wanted to go up, there was nothing that could stop her.
But it had already been two or three days, and Xiaowan still had not spoken up to invite Third Lady to help her take care of the child.
The more it was like this, the more Xiaowan felt apologetic in her heart. She felt that she was too stingy, but suddenly asking her to open her mouth seemed like she was giving alms to someone else. After hesitating for a while, she walked up the stairs, smiled at Third Lady, and went upstairs alone.
Third Lady did not say anything. After looking around for a while, seeing that the child did not cry anymore, he went to help and Aunt Zhang with their work. She was a very pleasant person who was diligent and gentle, but she did not go as smoothly as she did when she found someone who wanted a wet nurse for her.
After all, they had to feed their children, and they were very concerned about the nanny’s background. The inn came out to look for her, but they couldn’t hide it from the nanny’s background. When they heard that their child had been sold and no longer existed, no one wanted this sort of person.
Every time he heard that it would fail again, the Aunt Zhang would sigh: “How about we just hide it from them?”
Uncle Biao naturally did not agree: “This is Breaking Dawn’s face, I cannot do that.”
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Third Lady had finished eating and drinking in the tavern, and her pale body had already recovered, but she kept on eating as light as Xiaowan, milking herself every day, hoping that she would one day be able to feed a child.
Since she was so persistent, the people in the inn all felt more sorry for her. When they found two families that were once guests of the inn, the Aunt Zhang went out personally to help Zhang Luo with this matter.
Unfortunately, when the Aunt Zhang left, the Heavenly Xiaowan became ill.
It was unknown whether it was because Little Pei had been sleeping by her side these past few days that she had to wake up and take a look at the big one a few times.
That day, he had to see Little Pei fly a kite and sit in the wind to eat a bowl of noodles.
In short, Xiaowan’s face was flushed red. Every time she finished feeding the baby, she would become exhausted and would be unable to move or speak.
Chao Feng was not home, so Aunt Zhang also went out. Susu, Auntie Chen and Susu’s mother-in-law were the only ones in the shop, and they were busy with taking care of their granddaughter, Autumn Harvest, and were unable to come to help. As a result, Susu and Xiaowan discussed and decided to invite Third Lady to come upstairs to take care of the children.
She took good care of the two babies while teaching Little Pei how to change his younger brother and sister. Even Little Pei liked her a lot.
She helped Xiaowan to feed the child. Although the child’s cry would make her chest swell, she did not say that she would help the child.
The next day, Aunt Zhang came back home. Seeing this, since Third Lady had already helped, Aunt Zhang requested for him to first recuperate and recover. Even if she wasn’t worried about Third Lady’s body, after staying in the inn for so many days, she had nothing to worry about.
Xiaowan had reached the limit of her stamina and energy. She persisted until the day the child starved for her, then finally clenched her teeth and agreed.
Third Lady tensed up, and trembled as she placed the red hair into the child’s mouth. When she saw Little Fei Jr. start to eat in big bites, her tears fell like rain.
Xiaowan looked on, emotionally moved, and said gratefully: “Third Lady, thank you.”
Third Lady said tearfully: “It’s my turn to thank you.”
Thus, with the help of Third Lady, Little Qi was able to eat and receive stable care. Xiaowan was finally able to breathe, and after recuperating for two days, her body was quickly recovering.
was once again able to feed a pair of children. In his heart, he was thinking whether or not he should not trouble Third Lady anymore.
However, her face was thin and she could not open her mouth. Every time she saw Third Lady very naturally untie her clothes to feed Little Little Fei, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Although blaming herself for being too stingy, what was more important than a child being full, but she really couldn’t resist being stingy. She was afraid that the child would not kiss her if she took someone else’s milk.
That day, Third Lady brought Xiaowan’s portion up after the kitchen had drank the chicken soup made by Uncle Biao. She carefully walked to the third floor with the soup in her hand.
Susu said. “How about you speak frankly, what’s there to be embarrassed about, if you don’t talk about it, I will talk about it.”
Xiaowan’s tone sounded conflicted: “I just feel that I’m too heartless to destroy the bridge after crossing the river. She treats her children so well, but I dislike them in my heart.”
Susu asked: “What do you dislike about her?”
The Xiaowan said, “I don’t know either. As for her background, I don’t mind it at all. Anyway… I can’t say. ”
The person outside the door stared blankly at the chicken soup in his hand. He lightly bit his lips and used his free hand to knock on the door: “Xiaowan, drink the chicken soup.”
Inside the house, Susu and Xiaowan looked at each other. They didn’t know whether or not Third Lady had heard what they had said just now.
A day after that, Third Lady continued to help take care of the child as usual. Xiaowan also did not manage to tell her to stop feeding the child.
But that night, when the whole family was eating, Aunt Zhang did not discuss with Xiaowan and the rest, and just said: “Third Lady, there are a few people who are looking for a wet nurse to take care of the children. Do you want to do this?”
Third Lady looked at Aunt Zhang noncommittally, her wife advised: “We will help you look for her, so we can’t hide the truth from you. When they heard that your child disappeared like that, they all have some scruples. After all, it’s an important matter of feeding a child, and we understand each other, and we can understand the feelings of our host. But if you don’t feed them and only take care of them, then they won’t care so much. They only want people who are gentle and hardworking, and you are the most suitable person. Listen to me. Break your milk and don’t go on. “How great it is to have a business and a place to stay.”
Third Lady lowered her head, pursing her lips without saying a word.
Suddenly, Little Fei cried. instinctively stood up, Xiaowan put down her spoon and stood up as well, then reached out her hands to stop him: “I’ll do it, I’ll do it, Third Lady, eat your meal.”
After she finished speaking, she carried Little Fei up the stairs.
Aunt Zhang followed him and brought Little Qi upstairs as well. The two of them stood in the corridor and looked down, and Xiaowan said softly, “Aunt, I don’t want to ask Third Lady for help anymore, but I can’t open my mouth.”
“Yeah, he’s so nice, how can we even talk about it?” Aunt Zhang held the baby and sighed, “But if she can think it through, finding a job for her in a rich family isn’t difficult, we can’t keep her forever.”
Downstairs, Uncle Biao handed a large piece of meat to Third Lady and said enthusiastically: “Eat more, and heal your body.”
Third Lady thanked him, then picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of chili sauce. He spread the spoon on top of the meat on his hoof and ate it whole.
Aunt Zhang and Xiaowan looked at each other. From the looks of it, Third Lady had thought it through. After all, she had been following Xiaowan around everyday these past few days and had a light meal.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Third Lady told Aunt Zhang that she was willing to take care of other people’s children. However, in other people’s houses, it was very troublesome to raise the milk, and they didn’t want others to misunderstand. Thus, they wanted to ask them to continue taking her in until she returned to her mother’s milk before leaving.
The rest of the people agreed naturally, and Xiaowan finally heaved a sigh of relief. After that, throughout the entire day, Third Lady did not go to the third floor again, no matter how much Little Qi Little Fei cried, she did not look around at the stairs anymore. He continued to help the shop, but he could not resist it.
That night, Little Fei seemed to be unwell somewhere. She refused to sleep even if she wasn’t fed, and continued to cry non-stop. Xiaowan carried her and wandered around the room, trying to coax her patiently.
Xiaowan was completely exhausted, and did not sleep well the whole night. The next morning, after feeding the child, he fell asleep, falling into a deep sleep.
But today, Susu had to help her family’s Autumn Harvest, so she did not come to work for a single day. In the tavern, Little Pei was playing at the back of the mountain after he ate breakfast. After rolling in the mud, the Aunt Zhang took him to take a bath.
Upstairs, everything was quiet. Sanniang sat in a daze at the door, watching as a cart came in from the White Sand River Pier, with a young couple in it. She was dressed in red and carried a baby in her arms, a loving family member who seemed to be returning to their mother’s house.
Third Lady’s tears fell uncontrollably. When the carriage went further away, she heard the cries of a baby. Although the crying sound was getting farther and farther away, as soon as she heard the baby’s crying, her chest would swell.
Last night, Little Fei was crying non-stop upstairs. It was better to die than to live in a house, and Xiaowan didn’t even know how to take care of a child. Why was it that when she was taking care of a child, the child would always cry?
Subconsciously, she stood up and was about to head upstairs when she looked up at the third floor. Her heart skipped a beat.
When he entered the door, his mother was sleeping soundly. He ran to the side of the cradle and peeked inside, only to find that Little Fei’s cradle was empty, only the Little Qi was asleep inside.
Little Pei ran over to his mother’s side to see if his sister was sleeping on the big bed, but his mother’s side was completely empty. The little guy’s heart tightened and he hurriedly tried to wake his mother up.
