Ignoring her aunt's sadness, Ms. Xie stared at the simple purse in Mr. Wang's hand with only the word "peace" embroidered on it. Her eyes turned red and she wished she could snatch it away to see how much money was in it.
Mrs. Wang squeezed her purse. There were no hard objects in it. They probably contained banknotes and the like. She said, "Mother, since you still let me be the head of the household, then I have full authority to make the decision?"
Mrs. Qin nodded tiredly.
"Sister-in-law, take a look at how much money there is here. Do you have to buy two more servants?" Ms. Xie said anxiously.
Mrs. Wang glanced at her, but did not open her purse. She only watched Old Mrs. Qin reply: "Something happened suddenly at home, and we don't have much money. Yesterday, my wife asked Uncle Li to find a man, and gave it to the three younger siblings first.
We hired a wet nurse and two other rough ladies to do chores and wash the clothes."
"A wet nurse?" Mrs. Qin frowned.
Wang said: "Because I was in such a hurry, I could only find this one who was suitable. She had just given birth to a child for two months, and she was in good health. It was enough to feed two children. I have asked Uncle Li to ask someone to help her."
Go find another suitable one, and Ju'er beside you only serves the third younger brother and sister."
Old Mrs. Qin nodded: "Okay. She gave birth to these seven-star children prematurely, and her vitality was greatly weakened. She couldn't leave her alone, so she asked Ju'er to stay by her side and serve her. She also had to instruct the kitchen to cook more for her.
Those who want to replenish their health must sit well during this confinement period. As for us, we can just eat a little bit."
The daughter-in-law's baby didn't arrive in time and hurt the mother's body. She should be kept close to her. Otherwise, if her body is not well-maintained, what will the third child and the other children do in the future?
Mrs. Wang said: "Don't worry, I will give the instructions. You and your three brothers and sisters will not be able to chew for a long time."
Mr. Xie is a little anxious, what about them?
"Sister-in-law, are we going to buy some more girls to serve you?"
"Second brother and sister, the Qin family was raided and all the property was sealed. Where did we get the money? Are you looking at this?" Mrs. Wang raised the purse in her hand and said, "Father and husband, brother-in-law, they are all here.
On the road of exile, you have to spend money everywhere, and you have to chew all the big and small things, and you have to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. How can you buy people to serve with big money?"
Old Mrs. Qin glared at Mr. Xie with an unhappy look on her face, and said coldly: "If you can't bear this hardship, just go back to Xie's house. I think Xie's house will have a bite to eat from you."
Mrs. Xie's face turned pale, and she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Mom, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to have such an idea at all. She is the daughter-in-law of the Qin family when she is born, and she will be a ghost of the Qin family when she dies."
Before she got married, she was working under her stepmother. It was because of her fate with this aunt and the second Master Qin that she was able to marry into the Qin family and enjoyed a good life for several years.
Even so, she still has concubines in her room, but this does not affect her position as the main wife. But if she returns to her parents' home, her stepmother will not like it and her brothers will not kiss her, and she will be in despair.
Old Mrs. Qin snorted heavily: "In that case, I will accept your heart. You have hands and feet, but you can't take care of yourself? You can make money, and you are willing to buy a few girls to take care of you. That's
Your ability. But this money is for the family to spend, and more importantly, it is for your father-in-law and others to manage. You should give me a break as soon as possible, close your red eyelids, and don’t think about this little money.
."
"Yes." Xie lowered her head timidly.
When Old Mrs. Qin was about to speak again, Qin Mingbao, the granddaughter of the third bedroom, ran away crying and said that her mother was not well. Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
