"Hey, what are these blue and red ones?"

Mr. Wei changed the subject and turned his attention back to the food.

Ye Shian really wanted to slap herself. She only thought about making delicious dishes and making Old Madam Shen happy, and she forgot to consider all these trivial things.

In fact, she had added these ingredients when she cooked before, and no one asked what this was or what that was at the time. Who would have thought that Old Wei was possessed by a hundred thousand whys and would ask about everything he saw.

She forced a smile and said, "The green ones are green peppers, and the red ones are hot peppers."

Mr. Wei put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Little girl, there are so many dishes on your table that I have never seen before. Tell me honestly where did you get these things from?"

Ye Shian was almost crying. Why was this old man Wei so annoying? He asked her everything. She had to bring up the old man she met on the road again.

"On the way to escape, I saved an old man by chance. He gave me these things. He said he had traveled all over the world and had seen many new and interesting things. These are what he gave me."

Mr. Wei had no doubts. He nodded approvingly: "Do you have any more seeds?"

Ye Shian:……

"Yes, there are some."

"If all these can be grown, the people of our Great Abyss will have more food to fill their stomachs."

Seeing Old Wei like this, Ye Shian looked the old man in front of him for the first time. Although the old man was very old, he had the kind of courage that only those who had been in high positions for many years had. It was not difficult to guess that this person had once held a high position, and he cared so much about the people, so he must have been a good official.

After eating at Ye’s house every day, Yu Xiuying would push Zhang Guifang to the bed to rest, but Zhang Guifang didn’t want to.

Yu Xiuying and her daughter were kind to her, and she was grateful, but she couldn't eat and drink from them for free.

Besides, after resting for a period of time, her body has almost recovered and she has gained a lot of weight.

After dinner, she ran to the kitchen to help. The few times she came before, people in the kitchen didn't let her do it, saying that it was Yu Xiuying's order.

This time, as soon as she stepped into the kitchen, Xu Zhenniang spoke up: "Hey, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to do it suddenly? Just take a rest."

Zhang Guifang was also distressed: "She didn't allow me to do it because I was still sick at the time, but now I am well, I have to work since I am well, otherwise I will not be able to eat."

"Mrs. Zhang, what are you talking about? Just stay here and let them do the work. You don't have to do anything."

Seeing Yu Xiuying coming, Zhang Guifang felt grateful and guilty: "Xiuying, I know you mean well, but how can I have the nerve to eat and live here for free?"

"Mrs. Zhang, why are you here again? How about this? You should take good care of your body. When you are fully recovered, I will let you live."

"Really?" Zhang Guifang was overjoyed.

"real."

"Then I'm fine now. If you don't believe me, just look." Zhang Guifang spread her arms and turned around: "Look, I've gained a lot of weight."

"Whether you are well or not is up to me. If I say you are not well, then you are not well."

Seeing Yu Xiuying using this trick on her, Zhang Guifang stopped laughing: "Xiuying, I appreciate your kindness, but since you won't let me do anything, I can only move out of this house."

As she said that, she walked out. Yu Xiuying hurriedly pulled her back: "Hey, hey, hey, sister-in-law Zhang, sister-in-law Zhang, what are you doing?"

"Xiuying, I..."

"Okay, okay, Mrs. Zhang, please stop talking. I, I...I have something for you to do. I have something for you to do."

"Really?"

"really."

There was nothing for Yu Xiuying to do, but in order to prevent her from leaving, they had to keep her stable.

Suddenly she thought of her eldest daughter: "Yes, wait, I'll get it soon."

Yu Xiuying walked a few steps and turned back worriedly, "You must not leave."

She went straight to Ye Xianchun's room. When she got there, she didn't think much and pushed the door open and walked in: "Xianchun, please help me think of a good job for your Aunt Zhang. I want something that's easy but also can't be idle."

Ye Xianchun, who was lying on the bed, sat up with a start, and fiddled with his clothes with both hands: "Mom."

Yu Xiuying was so focused on Zhang Guifang that she didn't notice her daughter's abnormality. "I want your Aunt Zhang to rest, but she doesn't want to. If she is not allowed to do something, she will move out. I don't feel comfortable letting her live alone in her current situation. You have stayed in a wealthy family before. Think of something that is both easy and busy for me."

"This is easy to handle."

Seeing that Yu Xiuying didn't notice her abnormality, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Let Auntie be your nanny."

"Be a nanny?"

How could Yu Xiuying, a farmer, understand these things? Even though she had so many servants at home, none of them was there to serve her.

At first, when Ye Xianchun wanted Mrs. Peng to serve Yu Xiuying, Yu Xiuying said she was not used to it.

Even Ye Shian was the same. Seeing that her family was not used to it, she did not mention it again. After all, they lived in the village and no one cared about it.

"In a wealthy family, every master would have several servants to serve him. There would be six to eight maids alone, two maids to run errands, and a nanny."

"Why does one person need so many people to serve him?"

Ye Xianchun nodded: "But our family doesn't need so many people, so each person can have two people around him, just like Ziyuan, a wet nurse and a maid."

"You mean to give me two too?"

Ye Xianchun nodded: "At the beginning, I told you to let Aunt Peng serve you, but you said you were not used to it. Mother, you forgot."

"Remember, remember, I remember this. You also let Ying'er follow Shi'an."

Ye Xianchun nodded: "Well, since you are not used to it, I didn't mention it again. Now that mother wants to keep you, this is a solution."

"Let her serve me..."

Yu Xiuying hesitated. Ever since she married into Huaishu Village, she had been taken care of by Zhang Guifang. Now that she was in such a miserable state, how could she let her be her servant?

Seeing his mother's hesitation, Ye Xianchun guessed her concerns: "Mom, if you are embarrassed to say it, then I will say it."

"Is there no other way?"

Ye Xianchun continued, "There are many ways to do this. You can help in the kitchen, work in the fields, or be a servant. But these jobs are far less respectable than what a nanny can do."

"Mother, you are the mistress of our house. The people who serve you are also superior in the eyes of the servants. Or do you want Aunt Zhang to work in the kitchen?"

"Can……"

"Mom, leave this to me."

Ye Xianchun simply took the initiative to take over the matter.

Ye Xianchun called Zhang Guifang over and handed the choice to her: "Aunt Zhang, I'll make it short."

"Mother is worried about you living alone, so she wants to keep you in the house. Now there are two options for you to choose. The first is to stay with my mother, take care of her daily life, and be her housekeeper. From now on, all matters in this house will be handled by you."
