The swaddle didn't look like it was placed on the ground, but it looked like it had fallen off the bed.
After seeing the situation in the house clearly, Chu Yunli's heart sank, and she jumped out of the window. There was an unpleasant sour smell in the house, unique to the breath of a drunk person. Next to her, Chen's mother was also sleeping soundly, too.
During the day, she has to do all the busy work at home and outside the home, and she also has to take care of this child, which is really tiring.
Anyway, she opened the window and climbed in, but the two of them didn't move. They slept like dead pigs. She was afraid of stepping on the swaddling clothes on the ground, so she took a step back, but accidentally touched a bowl at the head of the bed. It was cold inside.
I can feel some rough and granular stuff inside, which seems to be... porridge?
Needless to say, everyone knows that it is a night meal prepared for this child. She is also convinced that the newborn baby is fed this.
She reached out to hug the child on the ground. This child was about the same age as the one Zhang Qiuniang took care of, but it was a lot smaller. She was holding it lightly in her hands, and when she reached out to touch it, her forehead was hot. This child was indeed sick and had a high fever.
, it is easy to...
She took a deep breath and suddenly wanted to pick up the two people on the bed, including Chen Dafu who was sleeping next door, and beat them up to vent her anger.
But thinking of the child in the farmer's home... he had to go up the mountain tomorrow, and she had to rush back as soon as possible. It was not a good time to get entangled here. She suppressed the anger in her heart, hugged the child and jumped out of the window. She was so evil that she didn't close the window for them. She even
He also ran to open Chen Dafu's window, so he didn't have time to beat people up, so it was good to let them catch the cold.
Before leaving, she glared hard at the Chen family courtyard.
——Free your hands to deal with them later.
After leaving the village, she checked the child first and found that except for the high fever, everything else was fine. Just now she was worried that the child would roll out of bed and fall out.
She fed her milk first, and on the way back, she tied the baby to her chest. Because she was carrying a baby, the horse riding was not as fast as when she came here. She also stopped to feed her again. After feeding her baby, she fell asleep soundly and also
No more moaning.
When she arrived at the inn, it was almost dawn. She put the horse at the door of the backyard, hugged the child and ran to the foot of the Buddhist temple mountain.
In fact, it is very inconvenient to carry a child while riding a horse. It is better to hold the child while running.
When it was dawn, she saw the yard of the house where she was staying. Chu Yunli originally climbed over the wall with her child in her arms, but suddenly remembered something and put the child at the door of the yard, then went around to the back to climb over the wall, and then
He climbed through the back window and entered the house.
She quickly changed out of her clothes, put on the clothes that belonged to the nanny, and combed her hair again. At this time, more than four hours had passed since she handed over the child. Suddenly one night, she opened the door and called
, "Sister-in-law?"
The door of the room opposite opened quickly, and the woman nervously held the baby in her hand, "Are you feeling better? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Chu Yunli took the child and asked, "How long have you been crying?"
The woman hurriedly said, "I divided the milk twice and fed it, and I didn't cry much." Then hesitantly took out the bracelet, "Then this..."
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "Just keep it." After saying that, she turned around and walked in the door. She turned around halfway and said, "Why did I hear a child crying?"
The woman was holding the bracelet with a happy face. She was confused when she heard this and looked at the baby, "No, isn't this a good sleep?"
"Impossible!" Chu Yunli said firmly, "I am a wet nurse, and I will be punished if I mishear a child's cry." She walked towards the door of the yard, saw the swaddling clothes at the door, stretched out her hand and said, "There is a baby there.
Child?"
The woman was surprised, "It's true."
She ran out the door, and when she brought the baby back, her eyes were a little disgusted, "This baby is too dirty, and it looks like he hasn't been well-raised. He should be unwanted."
I couldn't see clearly last night, but now it was bright and clear, and I could see that the swaddling clothes were stained and had a strange smell. The child inside had a sallow face, his eyes were tightly closed, and he moaned softly from time to time. The woman stretched out her hand to touch the child.
His face changed slightly. He glanced at Chu Yunli's expression secretly, and frowned, "This child... I'd better put him back, I'm afraid he won't be able to feed him."
Chu Yunli sighed, "At least I have a life. Give it to me."
She put the child on the bed, opened the swaddling clothes, and suddenly a stinky smell came out. The child was very thin, half of her body was wet, and her buttocks were very red. It seemed that she had not taken good care of her. When she changed the diaper, she accidentally touched her flesh.
He grunted in pain a few times but didn't cry much.
Seeing that Chu Yunli was not shy at all, the woman hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let me help you."
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "Please help me get some hot water."
After the woman had prepared hot water, Chu Yunli sent her to buy medicine, just medicine to reduce fever and treat wind and cold. After getting it back, she could increase or decrease it a little and that was enough.
As long as the bracelet was there, the woman didn't ask her for any money. She turned around and left quickly.
The child was very dirty. He probably had never taken a bath these days. Chu Yunli washed the child and put on dry diapers and clothes. Of course, the ones he used belonged to the young master of the Lu family. As for the original ones, she threw them all away.
In the woman's hearth, although the young master of the Lu family is not taken seriously, he will not lose his clothes and swaddling clothes. When the time comes, he will give some to her.
After doing this, the woman had returned with the medicine. Chu Yunli was a little surprised, "So fast?"
The woman smiled and said, "There is a doctor in the next village, not far from here."
Chu Yunli opened the medicine bag, picked it up for a long time, and then handed it to her again, "It's done, feed it to the child."
The woman took it and saw the two children sleeping side by side on the bed. She couldn't help but said, "You are so kind."
"I'm a nanny, and I can't bear to see the child suffer." Chu Yunli said casually.
For the time being, she couldn't let anyone know that she had picked up her daughter. If the Lu family knew, they would definitely not allow her to nurse two children at the same time, but this child really could no longer stay in the Chen family.
It was getting bright at this time, and the carriage that came to pick her up to take her to the temple had already arrived.
To say how much the Lu family cares about their eldest grandson, even a liar would not believe it. When she was in the mansion, it was reasonable for her to take care of her alone, but when she was outside, she was allowed to live in this farmhouse with her child alone, and the Lu family felt relieved.
.
Of course, the coachman who lives next door should have the responsibility to take care of them, but he never came to ask from the beginning to the end.
After getting on the carriage, the coachman looked at her and the infant child and said, "Let's go, the old lady may be waiting there."
In fact, after they arrived at the temple, the old lady hadn't gotten up yet. Chu Yunli held the child in her arms and waited for a long time before she came out of the yard and took them to the front to light the lantern. During this period, Chu Yunli held the child and knelt down to listen.
After all, even this kid is kneeling down.
Chu Yunli knelt for a day and ate a vegetarian meal at noon. When she went back, the old lady remembered something and asked her mother-in-law to hand over a silver coin and said, "Let the farmer make you some soup. Don't add salt."
, your milk baby must drink it."
Chu Yunli agreed and took the money.
Back at the farmhouse, the child's fever had subsided and she was much better. Chu Yunli touched her face, put the ten taels of silver given by the old lady on the table, and said to the woman, "Sister-in-law, every day these days
Help me make chicken soup and take care of this girl for me during the day. When I leave, the money will be yours."
The woman was overjoyed and her eyes brightened, "I don't dare to call you sister-in-law. My maiden name is Zhou. Just call me Zhou." She looked at the child and asked, "What is this girl's name?"
It was a child who died without a name. Chu Yunli thought for a while and said, "Let's call her Lianyue."
Asking for the name was actually a test. Choosing the name proved that she could take care of the child. Ms. Zhou was surprised, "Will you raise this child?"
Chu Yunli shook her head, "I am the wet nurse of the Lu family, how can I raise another child?" She paused, "Well, my family is too far away. If you are willing, I will give you my monthly money from now on.
Help me take care of her first, and when I quit my job as a nanny, I’ll pick her up.”
She still wanted to pick her up, but Zhou was surprised, "Do you really want to raise her for the rest of your life?"
"You can't really throw her out, right?" Chu Yunli asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou's face turned red. After feeling embarrassed, she said calmly, "It's not that I can't tolerate her. I have given birth to a child myself. In our village, even an adult would be sick if he got sick, let alone this is still a child...
She lowered her voice, "Many families throw away their children when they are sick. In some families, their daughter drowned after birth. Families like ours raise their own children just by gritting their teeth, but they don't dare to go there again."
Pick it up.”
What she said was true. Didn't the Chen family dislike their daughter? She even kicked her to the ground at night and didn't know it.
