The inexperienced maid Chun gritted her teeth, stamped her feet, and pretended to be experienced for the sake of the old lady, and followed her in.
"Hot water, hot water!"
"The veil also needs to be ironed."
"And scissors."
"Children's clothes?"
…
Following Wen Po's instructions one after another, the delivery room finally pulled out some threads from the chaos and became something presentable.
Everyone was so busy that no one noticed the eldest maid's blushing face in spring. They just thought it was caused by the heat in the room.
Po Wen checked the cervix, and took advantage of the gap between contractions to ask the mother to follow her instructions: "I'll do it as hard as I ask, you know?"
"yes."
…
"Harder!"
"Um--"
"It's not enough. You have to use more force. Make it bigger and use all your strength."
"Um--"
…
The eldest maid Chun Chun looked at the mother's sweating face and painful expression, and she even dared not look at it.
She clutched the handkerchief, feeling panic deep inside.
At the same time, I was also praying in my heart: I must give birth! I must give birth! I must give birth!
She didn't know if God heard her prayer, but suddenly there was a cry of a baby in the delivery room.
"Wow wow wow..."
With this cry, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's happening! It's happening!"
"It's great, I finally gave birth!"
"Yeah, it scared me to death. I thought... Bah, bah, bah, how could I say such a thing? Hit me!"
…
Because she was prepared in advance, the eldest maid Chun Chun took out some scraps of silver and thanked Po Wen for her help.
Po Wen was a little surprised, because everyone who invited her over said that they were people they met on the road and no one knew them. They wanted to ask her to come over to help, but I'm afraid there would be no reward.
She does good deeds every day, this Wenpo is so kind-hearted that she doesn't think it's anything, so she comes over.
However, she was mentally prepared that there would be no reward. When she came out of the delivery room, someone actually gave her some money. No, Po Wen was surprised: "Who are you? Didn't you say you met her on the road?"
"I met you on the road, but I can't let your hard work go in vain, right? As I said before, anyone who helps will be thanked afterwards."
"No, I'm just doing a favor."
When the eldest maid Chun Chun saw her rejecting it, she became even more happy: "No, I must accept it. My old lady said that it is good for others to do good deeds without expecting anything in return, but if we can repay one or two things, we will not let others go to waste.
You should work hard. After all, doing good deeds does not mean that you cannot get any benefits. Aunt Ye, just keep it, maybe I will bother you again in the future."
Well, my old lady is going to have another baby in the future, and she is worried about finding a stable wife.
"How can that be done? You do your good deeds and I will do mine. We each do our own thing. How can we get any benefit from you? Just take back this money..."
While the two were talking here, the loud-voiced aunt over there came out of the delivery room. When she saw this scene, she immediately smiled at the maid Spring: "Oh, is the girl a maid from some big courtyard?"
"How does aunty know?"
"You can tell by looking at the clothes you are wearing. The material is so good that, except for wealthy families, ordinary people like us can't afford it." The loud-voiced aunt smiled, "You are really a kind and good girl, and you also provided money to borrow the yard.
You paid for someone again, and now you're giving money to Po Wen. That girl doesn't know how many sticks of incense she burned in her previous life before she met such a kind person like you... If she hadn't met you, she would have suffered a loss this time.
"
The eldest maid Qian Qian was a little embarrassed: "No, we just happened to meet each other. Besides, my old lady said that when you go out, if you encounter anything, you can help with it... If you can't help, there is nothing you can do, but
If you can help but don’t, that would be unjustifiable.”
In fact, she felt guilty, because she was just here to touch porcelain, but she didn't expect to be touched by her.
"Then your master is really a good person. No wonder he can teach you such an outstanding maid. This is a good family. I don't know which family it is. It would be great if there is a chance to be lucky in the future." The aunt's eyes suddenly lit up.
Well, among the neighbors living on the street, which one of them has not had any dealings with wealthy families?
Even though it’s just some day jobs like washing clothes and cleaning, it’s still a job, right?
However, whether the job is good or not, the reward depends on who the master is. If the maid can help someone she meets on the street, and she is kind to her master, then how can the family be so poor?
Already?
If you can work for such a wealthy family, not only will your reward be guaranteed, but your safety will also be guaranteed.
The eldest maid Chun Chun said it.
When the aunt heard that she had just come from out of town, she smiled and got close to the eldest maid, Chunchun, and told her what their street was for, who were the people who could work, and what they knew.
Of course, I didn’t expect the eldest maid to introduce them to jobs right away in the spring. She just wanted to be a familiar face so that the other party would know what they were doing. If the master’s family needed to hire someone one day, they would be able to think of them.
Just like chatting, just let it pass.
The aunt had an ulterior motive, and the maid Chun Chun also had an ulterior motive. Although their goals were different, they reached the same destination through different paths, and they strangely ended up chatting together.
Talking about the latter part, the aunt also asked the landlady who rented the yard to the eldest maid Spring to get a cheaper price: "Everyone is doing good deeds, and we can't cheat the maids of other wealthy families. Sister, listen to me, it's cheaper, just
It’s time to make a friend.”
The landlady also lives on this street and is very familiar with this aunt. However, the conditions of her house are better than those of my aunt's house, and she has an extra yard where she can earn rent.
When she heard what her aunt said, she didn't understand what was going on, so she smiled and reduced the price.
The eldest maid expressed her gratitude in the spring and said very generously that since the landlady was so generous, she would do her best to let the eldest sister who gave birth to live here in peace and wait for her family to pick her up before moving out.
"Sister Tang (landlady), I have to go back to serve the master later. I can't stay here any longer, so I'll rent your yard. I don't know when the delivery lady will leave, so I'll pay a fee first."
Just pay a monthly deposit, and you can tell me the rest when the time comes, and you will refund more and make up less." The maid Chun said, "If the delivery lady leaves but I don't come, you don't have to worry, I might be the master.
If you have something to do and can't come over, I will definitely replenish the money for you. When I come, the money will be counted as long as it comes."
"Oh, what's the use?" Sister Tang quickly declined and said, "When will she leave, even if she gets better, I will remember the date well..."
The eldest maid Chun Chun interrupted her and insisted: "No, Sister Tang, I can't let you suffer, just do what I say. You are the landlord, you have a family, and you rely on this yard to eat, but
I'm different. I can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry. Besides, my master usually rewards me a lot. For me, it doesn't matter if I pay an extra month's rent. That's how we settled."
