Chapter 593 This scoundrel is too much!
n-law of the Tian family smiled even wider and chatted with everyone for a while longer.The daughter-in-law of the Bai family was not to be outdone, and also supplemented it from time to time.After a...Needless to say, Grandma He and Shui Ling were quite pleased.
They entered Li's household and everything was truly wonderful. Their food, clothing, shelter, and every other need were met without any hardship. They weren't mistreated in the slightest, nor did they ever receive a scolding or beating. It could be said that among all the servants in the world, they were the happiest!
But they often couldn't help but feel anxious, because their masters were unwilling to make use of them.
The master of that household, he would have eight servants waiting on him. But in the Li family, there were several masters, both young and old, yet only three of them to serve! And they often spent half their time idle…
The old lady enjoys picking vegetables, sewing, and occasionally working in the fields.
The fourth Madam loved to cook. Every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, she personally prepared the food for her family, only then would she feel at ease.
The eldest and fourth masters were not often at home. The second master, besides asking them to help wash clothes, took care of everything else himself.
When the young masters were not at home, they had maidservants to take care of the chores even if they were home.
Even the youngest Miss, she would wash and dress herself, eat and drink by her own hands.
Even, I prefer being alone. Closing the bedroom door shuts out all noise...
These servants are truly despicable!
Today, they were able to serve their masters as they went out. They finally felt like they had some use.
Mr. Wen could be considered to have had his child late in life, he was overjoyed and simply couldn't contain himself.
Today he didn't even go to the office, just stayed home and guarded his wife.
Mrs. Wen was sweet and funny, but no matter how much she was urged, she wouldn't budge until the Li family arrived in two carriages...
"Master Auntie, Master Auntie! I'm going to have a junior brother!" Jiayin got out of the car and dashed into the courtyard, throwing her arms around Wen Fu.
Mr. Wen was afraid she wouldn't know how to read the situation, so Jiayin slowed her pace four or five steps ahead, clearly showing that she knew her limits.
Mrs. Wen gently rubbed her hair, her face flushed with a smile. "Auntie, it's been ages since we last saw each other, I missed you so much. It's fortunate that you came along with us; otherwise, Auntie wouldn't be able to go to the new village for quite some time."
Mr. Wen also patted the little girl's head and said with a smile, "There are delicious snacks at home, you'll love them."
At this moment, Li Laotai and Tao Hongying also came in, followed by Ye Shan, Dongmei, and several others like Grandma He. Each of them held something in their hands.
Mrs. Wen flushed even deeper, saying, "Aunt and Hongying, it's good that you're here, why did you bring so many things"
Li Lao Tai held her hand and said with a smile, "What are you saying This is such a happy occasion, how could we not come Since your daughter-in-law is pregnant, our family has prepared a lot of food and now we're sending some to you."
"It's nothing special, just to whet your appetite. Eat more and sleep more, then you can give birth to a big fat boy."
Mr. Wen quickly thanked her, "Auntie, you're here! I was too scared to sleep last night. I've never been a father before, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of Jiner..."
"Don't worry, don't worry! We're here now, aren't we" Li Lao drove the person away, "You big man, if you have something to do, go and do it. We'll keep company with Jiner at home."
Mrs. Wen hurriedly said, "Yes, my sister-in-law and I just have a few words to say. You don't need to listen in, just go out now. Oh, by the way, remember to visit the Liu family and give them the good news."
Okay, okay, I'll go right now. Mr. Wen now treats his daughter-in-law's words as holy decrees, and hurried to change his clothes before heading out the door.
Everyone entered the room at once. The Li family members laid out everything they had brought, and after Mrs. Wen looked it over, she took an orange and ate two in one breath.
Those who saw it couldn't help but feel a sour taste in their mouths.
Then, Qiong-sao said, “Madam discovered she was pregnant yesterday and started feeling nauseous... Last night, she ate the egg custard steamed by the Fourth Madam. This morning, she still hasn't eaten anything yet.”
"That's not good. Eating so many sour oranges on an empty stomach will ruin your stomach." Tao Hongying immediately rolled up her sleeves and called to Qiongzhaizi, "Call the cook from your courtyard over. I'll make a few dishes and let them learn too."
Qiong's mother was overjoyed and immediately started making preparations.
Grandma He stayed behind to wait on them, and Shui Ling also went to help.
Then Old Madam Li pulled Mrs. Wen's hand and sat on the kang to talk, while Jia Yin held a box of snacks, eating and listening to the excitement.
When it came to how she discovered her pregnancy, Madam Wen sighed and whispered to Li Laotai, “Aunt, this is all thanks to Wenhao from the Guo family next door. He truly saved me!”
Both Li Laotai and Jia Yin were curious. Li Laotai asked, "What's going on"
Mrs. Wen then said, "Yesterday I went for a walk in the fields. In the grove of trees by the edge of the field, I saw many mushrooms, so I told Qiao's wife to go home and get a basket!"
As a result, I don't know who was trapping small animals in the forest. They had set a trap, and I stepped right into it. My leg was yanked up in the air, leaving only my head touching the ground.
"It was like the world spun around me, I couldn't figure out what to do. Luckily, Wenhao heard the commotion and rushed over, using his pocket knife to cut the rope and save me. "
"I went to the doctor at home for my injury. After feeling my pulse, he found out I was two months pregnant. Fortunately, it was treated in time, otherwise me and the child would have been…"
Mrs. Wen couldn't continue, her hands clasped around her stomach, clearly very frightened.
"This is too dangerous! Which scoundrel set a trap in the woods Isn't this just trying to trick people" Li Lao was furious, raising her hand to gently pat Wen's back in consolation.
Jiao Yin also quickly sat in Wen's arms, one hand around her neck, the other reaching to touch Wen's hair and ears, mumbling in her mouth, "Touch the fur, don't be afraid, touch the ears, scare for a while!"
Mrs. Wen was amused and laughed.
Li Laotai also tapped her grandson, laughing and scolding: "That's for coaxing children, your aunt is an adult!"
Jiayin giggled and continued to munch on her treats.
Then Madam Wen continued, "I was also terrified at the time and didn't have time to think much. I couldn't sleep that night and only then did I understand, Wenhao had tears on his face back then, he must have been bullied."
Mr. Guo is elderly and seriously ill, so he can't manage the farm at all. Wenhao is weak and young, too inexperienced to control the situation. I had heard some rumors before that the slaves were mistreating their master on their farm, but when he came to our house to ask for help with his studies, I asked him about it a few times, but he wouldn't say anything.
"Perhaps it's true now. It's just that this child looks frail, but his temper is too stubborn."
Li Laotai thought of Wenhao, that child, and also frowned.
My own kids are each incredibly mischievous, tanned like little black monkeys, and rarely get sick.
Guo Wenhao seemed like a delicate little sprout, easily knocked over by the wind and grass. Now, without the protection of elders, he was truly pitiable.
She looked up and saw Mrs. Wen hesitated to speak, suddenly guessing a few points, she couldn't help but smile, "Jinerou, you want to help this child, but you are afraid that our family will not be happy, aren't you"
Mrs. Wen said with some embarrassment, "Auntie, the child's mother and I studied together before, we had a little bit of friendship. Now that she lives so close, and even saved my life and my child's, I want to take care of him in the future. But the Guo family's past actions..." his son stood back-to-back in the middle of the courtyard, each holding a pair of flower shears. They clearly wanted to leave, but hesitated.Seeing their master come out, they cried anxiously, "Maste...
