According to Huo Xi's opinion, since Wu Dayou had married another man and had a child with someone else, the wet nurse should leave him and not look back.
But nowadays it is very common for men to take concubines. And among them there is Wu Chengye.
When Brother Nai was young, their family of three lived a wonderful life in the capital.
"Your wet nurse feels that she is speechless now and Wu Dayou is willing to come to her. She also feels that she has dragged him down and is not worthy of him."
Mother Ma sighed: "Your nanny will eventually get married and have children. It's good for your nanny to have a companion. She can't find any good men like this. Those who are willing to get close to her are just trying to keep her monthly. It’s just money.”
Huo Xi was silent.
Returning to the house, he knelt down in front of the nanny: "Nanny, when my nanny gets married, you can live with me and I will support you. You don't have to worry about being alone in old age."
The nanny cried and nodded and shook her head. Her sister Ning was a good child, but she didn't want to hurt her.
"That Wu Dayou, he also brought two children..."
The wet nurse just cried.
Huo Xi sighed.
After leaving the small courtyard, I found a tea shop opposite the shop. While drinking tea, I looked at Wu Dayou diagonally opposite.
Seeing the goods coming from Guangfeng Water, he also stepped forward to help, helping the nanny to move up and down. Sometimes the nanny would also help him move and lift, and would stand together and talk to him for a few words.
Huo Xi drank half of her tea gloomily, and while Wu Dayou was leaving, she called the nanny over.
Wu Chengye was very happy to see Huo Xi, but when he saw her looking at her with a calm expression, and he could see the shop opposite from her position, he felt a little nervous in his heart.
"I, my father has only been here a few days, and my mother has written to you. Don't worry, I didn't tell my father about you."
"Um."
Seeing that she was still willing to believe in him, Wu Chengye breathed a sigh of relief, sat down opposite her, looked at her, and didn't know how to put his hands and feet.
He hurriedly opened his mouth to express his determination: "I won't say it, even if I put a knife on my neck, I won't say it." His words were emphatic.
Huo Xi was noncommittal: "Did you ask him to find the nanny?"
Wu Chengye lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, "My mother is pitiful, my father can talk to her."
"But your father still has two children! Let the wet nurse help him raise the children? Don't you feel sorry for your mother!"
Wu Chengye swallowed nervously, he was a little afraid of this sister.
"My father sold the house he left behind. My sister will be able to get married in a few years. Part of it will be given to her as a dowry, and the rest will be left to my brother. My brother is sensible and has grown up... My father can support them. It won’t be a drag on my mother.”
Seeing him anxiously defending, Huo Xi watched quietly, and after a while, she said, "How about I take the nanny away and you live with your father?"
"No!"
Wu Chengye glanced at Huo Xi, "Don't worry, sister, I can support my mother. My father is not a bad person. He cried happily when he saw that my mother was still alive. My mother was also thinking about my father. ...My father went to see her and talked to her, and she always had a smile on her face..."
He wanted his mother and father to be together, so that they could be a family.
"Really, I can support my mother. Now I have one or two months of money every month, plus bonuses, and dividends at the end of the year. I can have more than twenty taels of silver a year, and I let my mother keep it all. "
Huo Xi looked at him straightly. Maybe in Brother Nai's heart, he was looking forward to having a father and a mother, and looking forward to living together as a family.
Huo Xi deliberately arranged for the nanny, but she couldn't make decisions for the nanny. She had the life she wanted to live.
I had no choice but to press the matter aside. I checked the shops in Songjiang, sold a boatload of candy, and took a few children to watch the excitement for a few days.
That day, the shop sent several carts of cotton thread purchased from various places in Songjiang to the workshop, and Huo Xi followed them to the workshop.
I saw a young girl talking to the wet nurse in the courtyard. I didn’t know what she was talking to, and finally she pushed her.
The wet nurse gestured at her, and she even waved her hand away. Her voice was so loud that Huo Xi heard her: "You're a mute, don't make gestures, no one has the patience to watch!"
After saying that, she turned around and left. When she saw Huo Xi, who was a few steps away from her, she paused.
Huo Xi said coldly: "She is the manager of this workshop. You, a weaver, don't want to work anymore?"
"I'm not a weaver, who cares?"
After saying that, he walked away from Huo Xi. Huo Xi was stunned for a moment.
He walked towards the nanny, "Nanny", and walked over to support her. The nanny became mute because of her and Nian'er. She was not mute. She used to hum a tune to herself gently to coax herself to sleep.
When the girl heard Huo Xi's name, she looked back at Huo Xi and left.
"Who is that person?" Huo Xi turned around, but he had already disappeared.
After the wet nurse finished her gesture, Huo Xi was stunned: "Is she Wu Dayou's stepdaughter?"
The wet nurse nodded. Huo Xi frowned and looked for Nanny Ma.
When Huo Xi asked, Mother Ma sighed: "She is hostile to your nanny. Your nanny is still alive, and her mother is my concubine. Originally, Wu Dayou married into her family, and now Wu Dayou takes her and her baby.
She was originally uncomfortable with her brother leaving her hometown and running to this unfamiliar place. It turned out that your nanny was a dragster, but now she has become her. I am afraid she doesn’t want to see your nanny and Wu Da together.
"
"Mommy, can't you let the wet nurse live with me? If the wet nurse wants to live with his father, just let him go."
Mother Ma looked at her and smiled. She was a kind-hearted child.
Shaking his head: "Your nanny doesn't want to get you involved. And she has a biological son. Wu Dayou often comes to talk to her, and he can understand her gestures. Your nanny needs a companion, and this companion cannot be replaced by you or even Cheng Ye.
.Wu Dayou now has three children and can't find a good family. He is willing to make do with your nanny, so let's do this for now."
Huo Xi took the nanny to the inn and stayed with Nian'er for a few days. The nanny made a lot of clothes for Nian'er and looked at him with a doting look on his face as he looked lively and healthy.
After staying for a few days, when he was sending the wet nurse back, he happened to bump into Wu Dayou, who was looking for a wet nurse. He was carrying a large bag of things and was stunned when he saw the wet nurse being supported by a young man.
The wet nurse held Huo Xi's hand tightly, stepped forward to take his things, and waved him away. When Wu Dayou saw them entering the yard, he closed the door and stood at the door for a long time before leaving.
He didn't think much about it, he just thought it was strange that his mother was so close to the young master, as close as she was to Chengye. He looked back frequently, and finally left with a puzzled look on his face.
I asked Wu Chengye for a few questions, but Wu Chengye said that he was the son of the workshop owner and put him off. Wu Chengye didn't think much about it.
"You want Aunt Ma to come back to Beijing with me?" Huo Xiyou was a little surprised by the nanny's decision.
The wet nurse and Ma Ma had been together for so long. Before she found the wet nurse, the two relied on each other like sisters. Moreover, the workshop also needed Ma Ma, and the wet nurse could not manage the workshop.
Mother Ma already knew her decision.
Sighing: "Your nanny can't worry about you. We originally agreed that when you grow up, the two of us will come to you, but I didn't expect that you sent your nanny here. Now Wu Dayou is here again, and I
Come on, your wet nurse won't be alone."
The wet nurse nodded and made gestures at the side.
"Your nanny said you're going to get haircut soon, so she asked me to come to your side and help you."
