Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Zhang Wangshi had never thought of this possibility, but Zhang Dadu asked, and if she didn't give an explanation, she would look incompetent, so she immediately replied: "So what if it happens? A living person can be suffocated to death by urine. If there is no milk, drink rice soup. The Ye family has broken rice, you can go and ask for some more."

Ye Zhiqiu said nothing, just held the child in her arms and looked reluctant. Anyway, it was not her turn to be the bad guy, and the people in her mother's family were not easy to bully. Besides, whether Zhang Da was willing to come and beg for mercy was another matter.

Sure enough, Zhang Da was unwilling: "I won't go. You go if you want to go." His son's surname was Zhang, not Ye, so how could he have the face to ask for things from the Ye family? Every time he went to the Ye family, his father-in-law reminded him that a man should support his wife and children, and said that if you marry a man, you should marry him to provide him with clothes and food. If he can't do that, what's the point of marrying a wife?

He knew that his father-in-law despised him for being incompetent and had thrown away his two daughters. The implication was that the Ye family had also thrown away their daughters, so where would he find a wife? How could he know this? No other family in the village raised daughters, so he just followed suit. The Ye family had the ability to raise daughters, and there were only a few Ye families.

Zhang Wang was furious at her son's words, but she also knew that her in-laws were not easy to bully, so she could only say to herself: "Don't worry, my eldest grandson is easy to raise. His mother will be a wet nurse and bring back money every month. I'm not afraid that the country people will not lend him milk, so he won't starve."

Zhang Dayi thought that was true, so he stopped making things difficult for his parents. After dinner, he returned to his room, still worried, and told Ye Zhiqiu to be careful. If there were any good things in the city, he should not give them to his family, but hide them quietly for his son. The wages were fixed, but he heard that the rich families would give him rewards, and this money could not be handed over to the government.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded unconsciously, actually chatting with the system: "What should I do when I go to Mr. Huang's house tomorrow? I can't really be a nanny, right?"

The system laughed and clucked, "What's wrong with being a nanny? Don't you always say that you earn your living through labor? It's not shameful not to steal or rob?"

"..."

She was wrong and shouldn't have said that. It wasn't shameful, but she couldn't do it. She felt too ashamed and there was nothing she could do.

The system laughed enough before speaking: "Don't worry, the little girl of Mr. Huang's family hasn't been born yet, and finding a wet nurse is just a preparation in advance. This is equivalent to your probation period. Once the assessment is smooth and the child is born, it will come in handy. Besides, there is another wet nurse, so why are you worried?"

"What? A local rich man can hire two wet nurses. It's great to be rich." Ye Zhiqiu cursed the exploiting class again, and then wailed. She also wanted to be rich.

"Host, don't even think about it. A wealthy woman who is alone and has no power behind her is more likely to become a target for soldiers and bandits. If you don't want to kill people, you'd better be more restrained. There's no harm in being an ordinary citizen. Your class status won't be too high in the future."

What Ye Zhiqiu said about the system makes sense. It is better to just stay alive. Even if you have money, you should spend it on food and drink. It is best not to have any large assets in your name, and don't even buy a house.

The next day, Zhang Wang-shi woke her up before dawn to go to work. Worried about her, she ordered Zhang Da to send her to Mr. Huang's house.

The housekeeper had told the gatekeeper in advance, and Ye Zhiqiu entered the compound smoothly. He sent her in with wide eyes, and finally reminded her to remember her son. He was stupid, but he knew that the woman cared most about her child. He was not stupid, and he honestly handed over all the money to the government.

Ye Zhiqiu was not completely opposed to handing the money over to the public. What she objected to was that the money was paid but not properly managed, and in the end the whole family was sucking blood from the original body. Who could handle so many people? He was not a big boss.

It was said that Mr. Huang in the city was a rich man, with many assets and concubines in Haicheng. The one who was looking for a wet nurse this time was also a new concubine who had just been taken in. Before entering the courtyard, she thought she could see a luxurious summer resort, but after entering, she found that it was just an ordinary house.

She looked down upon Mr. Huang's house, but the solid wood furniture in the house was nice. It was made of real materials, unlike the solid wood furniture in modern society, which could easily be fake if you didn't know the business.

She quietly asked the system: "How about I collect more solid wood furniture and buy it in another world?"

"Not very good, it's ok for personal use, but how can you explain the source if you want to sell it? People who can afford solid wood furniture must have a certain level of financial strength. They are not fools and will not believe everything you say. If you can't explain the source, can't provide supporting documents, and can't issue an invoice, who will you sell it to?"

Ye Zhiqiu thought about every problem raised by the system and realized that there were solutions, but the cost-effectiveness was not right and the space was limited. Food and daily necessities were more important. If he were to travel to the end of the world one day, no matter how much solid wooden furniture and money he had, they would be useless. Only food would be the most popular.

Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu had figured it out, the system stopped talking. If she couldn't figure it out, it wouldn't mind helping her figure it out, but the method was a bit scary and no one would be willing to try it.

The housekeeper led the eighteenth concubine to sit in the flower hall. Ye Zhiqiu looked down and could only see a pair of embroidered shoes and a terribly large belly. He couldn't see her face, but he could tell from her voice that she was very young.

"Butler, this is the nanny you found. Please raise your heads."

The moment Ye Zhiqiu raised his head, he glanced at the Eighteenth Concubine. She was indeed young. Although her expression was mature, there was still some baby fat on her face. It was unknown how old Mr. Huang was. Maybe he had harmed underage girls. It was really a sin.

"To the Eighteenth Concubine, both of them have a son and a daughter. The husband is alive, his parents-in-law are fine, his parents-in-law are fine, his brothers and sisters are fine, and he is not ugly. He meets the standard of a happy person."

This was the first time Ye Zhiqiu heard that when choosing a wet nurse, one had to look for someone with a good marriage. No wonder she was chosen after so many choices. With so many strict conditions, it was already good enough to find two people in the nearby villages.

The interviewer had an easy time, and the housekeeper nodded in agreement. The Eighteenth Concubine was just a formality, and her career as a wet nurse would truly begin only after Ye Zhiqiu was taken away.

Although the Eighteenth Concubine is still a few days away from giving birth, the wet nurse has to eat a light diet as required in advance.

When the other nurse saw the food sent from the kitchen, her eyes widened. She swallowed carefully while looking at Ye Zhiqiu. The food was a little small, and it seemed not enough for two people, so she had to take the initiative.

Ye Zhiqiu originally still had some appetite, but when he saw the other party's unceremonious eating manners, picking his teeth with chopsticks while eating, he immediately felt so disgusted that he lost his appetite.

She didn't want to eat any of the food that the other party had eaten, but she couldn't take food out from the space in front of everyone, so she could only reluctantly eat a few bites of the food that the other party hadn't touched.

After listening to the reports from the two people who were secretly observing, the butler was secretly amazed and decided to choose a woman as the young lady's wet nurse. It was not that Ye Zhiqiu was not good, but that he was too good and he did not dare to use him.
