Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character
Chapter 540: Countryside Woman 4
Zhao Laosan was also worried about his wife's delivery. He originally wanted to take some time off, but Mr. Wang was in a hurry, so he could only ask his father-in-law and others for help. At the same time, he promised Zhao Pozi a huge profit after he returned. As long as she took good care of his wife during the confinement period, he would give Zhao Pozi more money when he came back next time.
Mrs. Zhao thought that this was a business that would earn her money for free, so she agreed immediately. "Don't worry, she is my daughter-in-law after all, I will serve her well."
"You are my elder, and I don't need you to serve my wife. I just need you to not cause trouble." Zhao Laosan emphasized.
Mrs. Zhao curled her lips in disdain and didn't take it seriously at all. She just thought that after her son came back, her own small treasury would be more adequate.
Zhao Laosan walked slowly through the thick snow and hurried to the county town. After reporting to Wanshi, he went back to his room to make furniture.
Since his furniture is exquisitely crafted, uniquely shaped, and full of oriental charm, Mr. Wang's daughter likes it very much. Originally, she wanted him to make some small items, but now she also wants him to make some beds and even help some master craftsmen. Even her salary has increased a lot compared to before.
But unfortunately, the dowry for Mr. Wang’s daughter had been almost prepared. After another month of hard work, he finally finished all the work, and Su Tong gave birth to their first child.
It was a very cute boy. Perhaps because he was a grandson, Mrs. Zhao did not act like a troublemaker this time. She was very friendly to Mrs. Su and even gave her daughter-in-law five eggs for her to take care of during her confinement.
Mrs. Su's mouth twitched slightly, but she still took the eggs. However, she turned around and went to the village to buy two hens and stewed them into chicken soup.
Mrs. Su was reluctant to give such good chicken soup to such a heartless person, but in order to avoid any resentment, she had to serve another bowl to Mrs. Zhao and her husband.
Seeing that there was food and drink, Mrs. Zhao asked Mrs. Su to stay longer. During this time, Mrs. Su stewed chicken soup and crucian carp soup, and sometimes even stewed some pig's trotters. In short, the old couple had a lot of delicious food.
Su Tong had money in her hand, so she spent a lot of money for the confinement, and with Mrs. Su watching over her, she didn't suffer much during the confinement period, but Mrs. Su didn't dare to stay too long. After her daughter had been in confinement for more than 20 days, she packed up and left. She said to the outside world that she paid for her daughter's confinement, but the money was spent by her daughter herself.
When Mrs. Zhao heard that her mother-in-law was paying for the services of her daughter-in-law, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She didn't expect to save some money. The key point was that she also ate a lot of delicious food during this period. But it was a pity that Mrs. Su stayed for too short a time. It would have been better if she had stayed longer.
Su Tong still had to stay in confinement for a month, but after that, she saw the grass growing and the birds singing, and the busy farming season in March had begun.
The eldest brother's leg has healed, it took 100 days to heal the injury, but he still can't do heavy work. On weekdays, he just does some mental work at home. The second brother, perhaps out of guilt, took on most of the work.
"Third brother's wife, you said that the busy farming season is about to begin. When will third brother come back? You can't put all the work on my husband's head." The second brother's wife was unhappy. The eldest brother was injured, so he couldn't work, but what about the third brother?
Su Tong spread his hands, "Second sister-in-law, my husband is still working in the town. I heard that he has found a new family. The owner of that family is very generous and gives him several hundred copper coins a month. Do you think we can earn that much money a month working in the fields?"
When she heard that there was money, the old woman naturally didn't want the third son to come back. Anyway, she had many sons, so she let them work. At most they would be a little harder, and at worst the women would have to go to the fields as well.
Because Su Tong had just given birth to a child, Mrs. Zhao was not cruel enough to let her daughter-in-law work in the fields, but she still made him cook at home and feed the livestock. He was so busy that he could hardly stand.
Fortunately, there were several children at home who could help with the handles, otherwise he would be really tired and wouldn't even have a chance to breathe. Although Mrs. Zhao also stayed at home, she said to the outside world that she had to help her daughter-in-law with the work and take care of the children, but in fact she was supervising Su Tong's work, and Su Tong didn't dare to leave the child to her care.
After a busy day, I ended up eating bland food, and my stomach even growled at night. It would have been fine if I wasn't full, but my child also couldn't eat enough. Fortunately, I could cook for myself at night.
Mrs. Zhao and Old Man Zhao were still stingy, but they didn't dare to be stingy with their sons during the busy farming season, so they only ate dry food, and sometimes added some meat.
Su Tong couldn't help but start to envy Zhao Laosan. At least he could work in the city and didn't have to go home to farm. Ah, it was really too tiring.
After being introduced by Mr. Wang, Zhao Laosan went to another wealthy family, who prepared a dowry for his daughter. However, the girl in that family was only 12 years old this year and would have to wait at least a few years before getting married, but the dowry had to be prepared early.
That family also believed in my skills very much and said that they would pay me five taels of silver a month, and would also do cleaning during festivals, and provide food and accommodation in the house. It was indeed an excellent job.
During this period, Zhao Laosan also asked someone to send a sum of silver back, but it was only one or two taels of silver. He was mainly afraid that Mrs. Zhao would become desperate and abuse his wife.
After learning that he had a son, Zhao Laosan jumped up excitedly. He wanted to come back directly, but the construction schedule was tight. After he finally finished the work, Su Tong didn't let him go back, saying that he should stay in the town to save more money so that he could bring the mother and son over.
Zhao Laosan also did what he said. In addition to doing some work for the master, he also made some small things on weekdays and sold them outside. In the end, he actually saved some money. He inquired about the housing prices in the town and finally decided to rent a house first.
But now that the house has been rented, what excuse can I use to bring my wife over?
Zhao Laosan invited the housekeeper to dinner, but eventually he used the excuse of looking for a cook and prepared to ask his wife to come over first, and of course it would be best if he could bring the child as well.
At first, Zhao Laosan thought that Mrs. Zhao would not agree. Until he heard that the other party would give him 500 coins a month, Mrs. Zhao agreed without hesitation. She even planned to let the third brother bring the second brother and the eldest brother's wife over.
The corner of Zhao Laosan's mouth twitched, "Mom, they are a wealthy family, they should have chosen one of their own servants, but I gave the shopkeeper some benefits, so they chose my wife and there is no way they would choose anyone else.
Also, although they pay you 500 coins a month, this is earned by my wife, and according to the family rules, it should be split 300-, but I think that after we leave, there will be no one to help you with the work, so I will only give you coins a month. "
Mrs. Zhao was naturally unwilling. She wanted 500 coins. "No, you have to give me at least 500 coins, otherwise none of you can go."
"That's fine. I'll come back too. You know, the shopkeeper is very generous. He said he would give me 800 coins a month. If I hand over 7% of it to my family, that would be 560 coins... My goodness, this is nearly one tael of silver a month. If it's gone just like that..."
