235 Mrs. Gan's Selfishness

But if you take care of the children at his house for a few months, it's fine if the salary doesn't increase, the salary is not high, and you have to stay up late.

These women asked him to figure out whether he could do it for him!

Zhao Bei had two dark circles under his eyes and was holding his forehead tiredly. He couldn't afford to get up late at night to nurse!

He began to think about why there are such creatures as children in this world.

At this time, Adou's cry could be heard. Zhao Bei had experience now, and when he heard it, he knew that this boy was having sex, and he was moaning uncomfortably.

Zhao Bei hurriedly put out the fire in the stove and walked into the house with the cooked chicken soup.

Mrs. Gan can already get out of bed and walk around. However, according to the old rules, she cannot leave the house until she has been sitting for a month. In addition, due to the cold weather in early spring, she may catch wind and cold, so she has been staying in the house.

When Zhao Bei came in, she had already put Adou into a clean diaper, held him in her arms and coaxed him gently.

"Madam, you drink some soup first, and I will make other food for you according to the recipe later." Zhao Bei handed over the chicken soup and said calmly.

He was no longer as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning, but a little more skillful. He naturally took Adou and waited for Mrs. Gan to finish drinking the chicken soup. Then he put the child down and took the dirty diapers in the basin to wash.

Zhao Bei was so accustomed to the smell of shit that he didn't even notice it.

Since Mrs. Gan was able to get out of bed, taking care of her children has become easier, but there are still too many tedious chores to give people a headache.

In order to hire a servant or a nanny, Zhao Yun has already gone out to work. As long as you are willing to work here in Xujiazhuang, there will be no need for people. Zhao Yun followed Lu Meng to patrol the village, or help escort people from the mine.

Iron ore, etc., you can get 15 work points every day.

That's all because of his superb martial arts.

As for other people, workers who cannot pass Shouchi's elementary literacy class can only get a maximum of 10 centimeters a day.

Tortured by his empty money bag, Zhao Yun now wishes he could attend a literacy class to learn the weird simplified Chinese characters and pinyin of Xujiazhuang.

Unfortunately, since they rejected the Xu family's fat sheep roll hot pot last time, the Xu family's attitude towards them has been vigilant and friendly. They can work, but they can't go to school or the arsenal yet.

This gave Zhao Yun a bit of a headache, but he could only do this for now, it was better than no income.

Zhang Fei went to the city and planned to invite an old mother to come over at a cheap price.

It's just that he overlooked one point. When inviting people over, they have to open an extra room, prepare an extra set of bedding, and arrange food and drink for one more person.

Counting these things together, which one is free?

Zhao Bei had never thought that he would be so poor. In the past, no matter where he went, there would always be local gentry to provide him with food and accommodation.

He generously prepared soldiers for him and supported him in his career.

It's not like now that you're in the Xu family and you get paid for doing a job. If you want to make some extra money, Xu Da is staring at you and you're too embarrassed to do anything.

Zhao Bei had lived for more than thirty years, and for the first time he felt what it meant to be truly poor.

However, the Xu family's life-saving grace should not be forgotten. They have taken them in for so long, and there is no shortage of food and drink. It would be a bit ungrateful to blame the other party for cutting off their own financial resources.

Zhao Bei's melancholy couldn't help but show up in his daily life. Mrs. Gan gradually felt her husband's fatigue. She didn't know when he would leave, and she didn't know if Zhang Fei could invite a wet nurse.

But she knew that the textile factories in Xujiazhuang were currently short of female workers.

Gu Zhe

Because Zhao Bei's daughter-in-law was interested in teaching his women to read and write, and Mrs. Gan also knew a few words and could do simple arithmetic, she felt that she might be able to apply for a female worker.

So, she expressed her thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Bei aroused strong opposition and asked her continuously:

"If Madam goes to the textile factory, who will take care of Adou? I have to go back to the government office in a few days, and Yide will also leave with me. Zilong is a man, and it is not convenient to take care of her."

"Besides, Madam is not yet in her confinement period, so she should take care of herself first."

"As for money matters, since I am here and my salary is meager, I will find another way to make a living, copying and writing for others, or at least weaving straw sandals for sale. I won't have to ask my wife to go out and show her face and be laughed at."

Mrs. Gan's eyes narrowed slightly, why did she just show up and be laughed at?

She saw that the women in Xujiazhuang were all confident and happy, so how could they be laughed at?

Who will laugh?

Who are you afraid of laughing at?

Mrs. Gan felt that she was not afraid of anyone, but she suddenly fell silent when she thought that when she first arrived in Xujiazhuang, she also thought those women were rough and rough.

Zhao Bei proposed to take Mrs. Gan and Adou into the city together. There is also a small courtyard there, and there is a widowed woman next door. For a small amount of money, he should be willing to help take care of it.

Mrs. Gan didn't have much reaction when Zhao Bei refused to go out to work and make money. But now when she heard that Zhao Bei was taking her and her children into the city, Mrs. Gan sat up in excitement.

But that expression was not one of ecstasy, but one of rejection.

Zhao Bei looked strange, frowned and asked: "Why, madam, you don't want to?"

Mrs. Gan did not answer directly, but asked weakly: "Are there any houses in the city as bright, spacious and warm as this one?"

Zhao Bei paused and then said: "There are also fire kangs. Nowadays, there are Huokang gang masons everywhere in the north, specializing in making kangs for people. Naturally, Yuyang County has also made kangs."

Mrs. Gan considered that she had passed the test, and continued to ask: "Is there peace in the city here? If the master is busy with official duties and does not come home for a long time, I am afraid that the thieves will be interested in a weak girl in the slave family."

The most important thing Mrs. Gan didn't say was that she secretly felt that women here in Xujiazhuang could live a happier life. Here, she could often go out and walk around, and she didn't have to huddle in a dark room every day because the place was small.

Also, although the women here are vulgar, they are happy and cheerful. For example, at the front desk of the hotel, there is a cleaning lady who comes to clean every day. She can chat with them, but she can't bear to part with them.

Women stay at home and can't go out all day long. It doesn't matter if they have been like this in the past. After all, women are all like this.

But now, after experiencing that little bit of freedom and happiness, I no longer want to go back to live that boring and scary life.

In the days after entering the city, I could already feel the darkness and loneliness without thinking about Mrs. Gan, and I became more and more resistant to it.

Seeing that she was anxious, Zhao Bei was also afraid that her mood swings would be too severe and hurt her body after giving birth, so he comforted her:

"Madam, don't worry. If Madam still wants to live in the Xu family, then she can live in the Xu family."

Thinking carefully about the situation in the city, Zhao Bei himself did not feel comfortable placing his wife and children in such an environment.

But he does still have official duties to attend to. He can take up to half a month off, and he will have to go back when the time is up.

At that time, Mrs. Gan will be the only one left, and she will obviously not be able to take good care of Zhao Adou, so this person will have to be hired.
