Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

The housekeeper did not plan to use Ye Zhiqiu, but the eighteenth concubine did not cooperate, and the newly born girl also did not cooperate. Two wet nurses were on duty at the same time. The girl obviously liked Ye Zhiqiu more, and the other wet nurse would cry even if she was hugged, let alone drink her milk.

At first everyone thought it was just a child's nature to cry, but when someone else held her or the nanny put her down, she would stop crying immediately.

After trying several times without any results, the housekeeper had to wave goodbye to the other wet nurse. Before a suitable candidate was found, Ye Zhiqiu became the only wet nurse, who had to work day and night.

Fortunately, the rules of Mr. Huang's family are not inhumane. Although the young lady is served around the clock, there are other people to take care of the child. As long as the young lady does not need to drink milk, the wet nurse can find a place to catch up on her sleep.

But this was different from what had been said beforehand, and it also didn't fit in with Ye Zhiqiu's plan. When she was about to lose control, Mr. Huang and his family finally prepared to return to the city.

Ye Zhiqiu was determined to go with him. She didn't care about her husband's family and threw the child to Zhang Da. She threatened him that it was his fault if he didn't educate the child well. He would not be able to count on his son to support him when he got old. He might even be kicked out of the house. Zhang Da was so scared that he promised to take good care of the child. Of course, he didn't ask for much money.

The housekeeper knew that her family was poor and agreed to advance one month's salary in advance. In order to please Zhang Da, Ye Zhiqiu gave him all the salary without keeping a single cent. She had only one request, that the child must be raised and educated well, and if possible, sent to school.

She could only do so much. When her parents-in-law asked her for money, she simply threw a packet of laxatives into the water tank. The whole family started to have diarrhea, and even Zhang Da was not able to escape.

The family was exhausted, and Ye Zhiqiu didn't even have time to see her off, so he naturally missed the last chance to ask her for money. As for her parents' side, she didn't give money directly, but took out a lot of food from the space, and asked if it was a reward from the host family.

The Ye family didn't believe this, but no one refused the food she gave them. The whole family was afraid of starvation, so even if they thought the food was not legitimate, they still shamelessly accepted it. Compared to life, shamelessness is shamelessness. They owed her, and they would find a way to pay her back when conditions allowed.

Without telling her parents-in-law and several sons, Ye Liushi secretly told Ye Zhiqiu not to care about her parents' home after moving to the city. If he had any money, he should hide it quietly and not give it to his parents-in-law foolishly. He should not even give it to his sons. If he did not keep any money, he would be old and penniless, and his children would also look down on him.

"Mom, don't worry. I will come back to see you when I go to the city and make money." Ye Liushi was well-intentioned. She was not nice to her because it was the only condition of the Ye family. When every household was not able to eat enough, it was already good enough for the Ye family not to sell their daughter.

She hadn't noticed it when she first arrived, but she discovered during this period that even if the weather was good, the villagers could not expect to have a full meal after working in the fields for a year. Most of them were so hungry that they looked pale and thin, and they might fall down if a gust of wind blew.

Not to mention that the villagers were not well fed, it was also difficult for the landlords to have a good meal. Mr. Huang was able to marry his eighteenth concubine, so his family must have a lot of assets. However, the master could not even provide fish and meat for his meals every day, let alone the servants. Occasionally, a big piece of fat meat was considered a good dish.

She thought it was because it was difficult to buy vegetables in the countryside, but who knew that it was still the same after moving to the city. If the Eighteenth Concubine wanted to eat scallion-fried pork chops, she had to order the vegetables in advance. It was not like modern times where you can place an order on your mobile phone at any time and have it delivered to your home in half an hour.

A week after entering the city, Ye Zhiqiu left Mr. Huang's house on the pretext of buying something. The housekeeper was very busy every day and didn't care about these little things. The little steward around her didn't take her, a little nanny, seriously. It was normal for a servant to ask for leave to buy something, not to mention a hired nanny.

By the time the housekeeper found out that she was missing, it was already the next day. There was no loss if a wet nurse who had not signed a death contract went missing. Apart from the Eighteenth Concubine muttering a few words and wanting to look for the wet nurse again, even the housekeeper didn't want to interfere.

He had long felt that Ye Zhiqiu was not a man who would settle for the rest of his life, nor someone who would always be content to be under someone else's thumb. It was a good thing that he could leave on his own. If something happened, he, the butler who made the decision, might be in trouble as well, so it was better for him to leave.

After leaving Mr. Huang's house, the first thing Ye Zhiqiu did was to get an ID. It would be inconvenient to enter and leave the city without a good citizen certificate. Fortunately, it was very easy to get a ID in this era, as long as you had money to pave the way.

She was reluctant to use the gold bars in the space, so she used a cheap artificial drill to open a path, which was more effective than gold bars. She wanted as many certificates as she wanted, but she didn't want to have it done by one person. She would rather spend more time running across regions to get certificates from different people.

With the certificate, the next step was to buy a house. She originally planned to rent one, but after looking around, she found out that it was difficult to find a house. Seeing that she was a single woman, everyone was either unwilling to agree or asked for an exorbitant price.

She was bullied when she was looking at a house. If she really wanted to live alone, she didn't know how much trouble she would face. Not wanting to cause trouble, Ye Zhiqiu simply disguised herself as a man to meet the agent. Buying a house with a man's face was much smoother.

The houses the agent introduced to her were all good, but she wanted a house in the concession, but she didn't expect that she couldn't buy one even if she had money. The agent looked at her and said bluntly: "Looking at your appearance, you should be a scholar, a young college student? It's not that I'm incompetent, but the houses in the concession are always in high demand. If you don't have a certain status, I dare not take you to see it even if you have money. Can you ask your family to think of a solution?"

The agent did not look down on Ye Zhiqiu just because he behaved ordinary. He was dressed in a suit and was literate. Who knew his family background? What if there was someone behind him?

Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly. He couldn't buy a good house without an identity. It seemed that there were purchase restrictions in every era, but each had its own restrictions. After buying a house in the concession, it was also good to buy a house near the school. The agent's words opened up new ideas. It was not so strange for female college students from other places to live alone near the school.

I just don't know what suitable job I can find in this era, and I can't stay at home every day, so going to university to earn money is a good choice. As for the money, it is easier to explain, as it was sent by my hometown. As for where this hometown is, with such backward communication level, there should be no loopholes unless someone deliberately checks it.

The agent also breathed a sigh of relief. It is much easier to buy a house near a school. There are several universities in Haicheng, and they are not far away. It just depends on how big a house you want.

"I want a yard." Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to live in her current building. It didn't have any facilities, and even if she ate something good she would be stared at by the neighbors. She had her own secrets.

It is true that having money makes things easier. Within one day, I found a small house with a private entrance and courtyard near Haicheng University that I could move into right away. The best thing is that there is a well in the courtyard, so I don’t have to fetch water from the public well all the time, and I can also avoid conflicts with the neighbors over water use.
