The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night
Chapter 287 Lin Ruolan's Plan
It was indeed quite cold outside. Even though she was wearing thick clothes, she couldn't help feeling cold hands and feet. So she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, who was nimble and skillful, with a look of satisfaction.
In fact, she should have taken her two daughters-in-law to see the world this time. After all, she had decided to pass on her skills to them in the future.
However, with a family as prestigious as the Xie family, she didn't dare to rashly bring in two unskilled novices.
In addition, her two daughters-in-law are young and have little experience. If they offend a noble person, it would be something that ordinary people like them from small families could not afford.
So, after much thought, Mrs. Xia decided not to take her daughters-in-law to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
"Mother, how much reward did the Marquisate give?"
Mrs. Xia's youngest son asked anxiously.
It was obvious that his question was what everyone in the room wanted to know, and everyone looked at Mrs. Xia with burning eyes.
Both of Mrs. Xia's sons work as waiters in a restaurant, but this year is a year of famine, and the restaurant's business is getting worse and worse.
Their reward money was getting less and less, but they lived well in previous years and at least the family did not go hungry.
But this year, food prices have skyrocketed and the weather has been extremely cold, so they need to buy more charcoal than in previous years. It seems that they are unable to make ends meet.
Suddenly, a big pie fell from the sky. Their mother was chosen by the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion to deliver the baby for the wife of the Yongchang Marquis!
"Where is the silver? I won't give you any silver!"
While drinking the hot soup, Mrs. Xia was mysterious and deliberately teasing her sons.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Xia's two sons heard that there was no reward, they hung their heads and said in a muffled voice:
"I thought they were a wealthy family, and they wouldn't give copper coins like other families."
"Hey! It's okay to have copper coins. At least it can keep us going for a few days. Tomorrow, when the restaurant is closed, I will go to the dock to see if I can find any work. We have hands and feet, so we won't starve or freeze to death!"
Mrs. Xia's eldest son said with a firm face.
He was a hard-working person to begin with, and now that his family was in a difficult situation, he was even more hardworking than before. As long as there was work to do, he would go and do it. He always felt that as long as he didn't stop and kept working, their family would be able to survive this disaster.
"Brother, I'll go with you tomorrow!"
Mrs. Xia's youngest son is actually a bit lazy, but now seeing that life at home is getting worse day by day, and his elder brother and mother are getting more and more tired, he finally realized that this year will not be easy, and he made up his mind to go to the dock to work!
Seeing this, the two daughters-in-law of Mrs. Xia lowered their heads and wiped their tears. Being a waiter in a hotel is a hard job, and they are busy from morning to night.
Nowadays, we have to go to the dock to work late at night. It is very cold at night. If we catch a cold, it can be fatal!
But they can't stop it. There are so many people in the family who need to eat and keep warm, and all of these things cost money!
"Puch~"
Looking at the looks of her son and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xia couldn't help laughing. She stopped teasing them and took out two large gold ingots from her arms!
Shining with gold!
In the dim candlelight, it almost blinded the eyes of Mrs. Xia's son and daughter-in-law!
"Mother! Jin..."
Mrs. Xia's daughter-in-law looked at her with surprise and shouted, but before she could finish her words, her husband covered her mouth!
"Keep your voice down! Walls have ears!"
"Or two gold ingots weighing 10 taels!"
The eldest brother of the Xia family blushed with excitement!
"With these two gold ingots, we can at least survive for two to three years! We can finally get by!"
Mrs. Xia was also somewhat moved at this moment, her eyes slightly moistened, and she nodded silently.
Her husband died early, and she became a widow at a young age. In order to support her two sons, she knelt for three days and three nights at the home of a midwife who knew how to deliver babies, holding her older son and holding her younger son.
The old woman finally couldn't bear to see the two young children starve to death, so she taught her the skill of midwifery.
It is thanks to this skill that she has been able to support her son and survive until today.
Although she knew that forcing the old woman to teach her the skill of midwifery was too difficult for her, after all, this skill that could make a living was not passed on to outsiders.
But if she hadn't done that, how could she and her child have survived until now...
Similar scenes were happening with the other three midwives.
Because of this delivery, these four midwives were worshipped as Bodhisattvas by their own sons and daughters-in-law!
The four midwives praised the wife of Marquis Yongchang to everyone they met how beautiful she was and how cute the newborn baby was.
Gu Yingxue is so....sassy and generous
In fact, they also know that the way the wife of Marquis Yongchang scolds her husband is really like a tigress!
But her family is so good-looking that even when she scolds someone, her man listens as if it were honey!
But they couldn't say that Gu Yingxue was a tigress, so they could only say that she had a straightforward personality!
For a while, the capital was full of rumors that the beautiful wife of Marquis Yongchang had given birth to two more fairy-like sons to the Marquis Yongchang Mansion!
"Have you heard? The wife of the Yongchang Marquis has given birth! She gave birth to two sons!"
"I heard that all the servants in Yongchang Marquis's Mansion who were in trouble received a reward!"
"Tsk tsk tsk ~ Lord Xie is truly the man who dotes on his wife the most that I have ever seen. I never thought that our Great Deng's undefeated god of war would have such a tender side!"
"Hehehe~, you don't understand this. Even a hero can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman. Even if you die under the peony flower, you will still be romantic. What's more, the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang looks like a fairy!"
Zhang Ruolan was walking home in a hurry carrying a small basket when she was suddenly startled by the discussions of passers-by!
Gu Yingxue has given birth?
By the way, considering the time, it is indeed time for her to give birth!
A look of crazy jealousy flashed across Lin Ruolan's face. She actually gave birth to two sons!
Why is her life so good!
When Lin Ruolan thought that she was about to marry a widower, and a lame widower at that, she was so angry that she trembled all over!
Lin Zhixue took Lin Qingjin, Lin Ziyang and others to Gucheng, and they had not sent any money back to the capital for several months.
The family was on the verge of collapse, and her eldest brother actually instigated her mother to sell her to a widower for 10 taels of silver!
Although the widower was lame, he had a bad temper and she trembled when she saw him.
This man was uneducated and would beat people when he was angry. She had been beaten several times before she even got married.
Lin Ruolan suddenly changed her mind. She couldn't let herself be harmed by her black-hearted mother and elder brother!
She is going to find Gu Yingxue!
Gu Yingxue is her fourth sister-in-law and used to be very good to her. Now that Gu Yingxue knows her current situation, she will definitely not ignore her!
At this moment, Lin Ruolan had completely forgotten that she once wanted to be Xie Tingzhou's concubine and seize the position of Marquis Lady Gu Yingxue.
I just feel that someone like Gu Yingxue, who is so kind to the point of being stupid, will definitely help me out of this misery if I just coax her a few words.
Gu Yingxue is now the high and mighty marquis’ wife. All she needs is a word from her to escape from her suffering!
“Madam Hou! Madam Hou! I am Lin Ruolan! You loved me the most in the past! Please let me in. I miss you!”
Lin Ruolan learned her lesson this time and no longer called Gu Yingxue "fourth sister-in-law".
The last time she called Gu Yingxue "Fourth Sister-in-law", the way Xie Tingzhou looked at her scared her so much that she had nightmares for several nights!
