The wife of two taels of silver

"Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Lin Haitang asked, "I'll go make some noodles. We have some stew in the kitchen. Would you like to have some noodles with sauce?"

Zhao Xiangjun waved her hands hurriedly: "Madam, how can a master cook for a servant? You can't do that."

Lin Haitang smiled and said, "It's just some noodles, it's not a big deal. Besides, you are not servants. You are just entrusted by my husband to take care of me. In fact, I should thank you."

"Madam, what are you talking about? How could it be Captain Gu's request? I just begged for it back. Madam, a servant is a servant and cannot break the rules." Zhang Ben was very serious.

"No matter what, I will cook this first meal for you. From now on, I'll leave it to you two." Lin Haitang said and was about to go to the kitchen.

Zhao Xiangjun hurriedly stopped her and said, "Madam, we'll go make the noodles. Please don't do anything."

At this point, Lin Haitang didn't force it, and nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, I'll take you to the kitchen."

The noodles were made of pure white flour. Zhao Xiangjun was shocked when she saw it, but she was reluctant to put too much in. Lin Haitang grabbed a big handful and put it in the pot.

"Sister-in-law, there's nothing to be reluctant about. Noodles are for people to eat. Just cook like this in the future. Everyone in my family has a big appetite." Lin Haitang said to Zhao Xiangjun.

Even after the meal was ready, the two of them didn't want to eat at the table, thinking it was breaking the rules. Lin Haitang forced them to sit on the stools before they started eating.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan, who were supposed to be taking a nap, didn't sleep either and stared at the two strangers curiously.

"Young Master, Young Miss." Zhang Ben and his wife quickly stood up and saluted.

Lin Haitang quickly stopped them and said, "Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, you don't have to call them that. Just call them Momo Lanlan."

Pointing at Xiaobai who was looking at him with his head tilted, he said, "This is our...um, dog, named Xiaobai."

Lin Haitang explained to the two children the origins of Zhang Ben and his wife, and said, "Uncle and Auntie will live with us from now on. If you see them, remember to call for help."

"Uncle, Auntie." The two children called out obediently.

Zhang Ben and Zhao Xiangjun quickly responded.

Lin Haitang asked the two to eat quickly and not to be restrained.

"Uncle, so you have met my father, right?" Gu Mo asked curiously.

"Yes, Master Mo, I have met Captain Gu and spent quite a while with him." Zhang Ben nodded.

The two of them had been hungry for a few days, and this was the first time they had such a delicious meal. They were embarrassed to eat too quickly, so they just stuffed themselves with big mouthfuls.

"Is my father good on the battlefield?" Gu Mo really admired Gu An.

Zhang Ben's eyes were filled with admiration as he said, "On the battlefield, the captain is almost unbeatable."

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan wanted to ask more, but Lin Haitang stopped them and said, "It's time for you two to take a nap. Go to sleep quickly, or you'll be spanked."

These two kids always delay other people's meals.

After sending the two children away, Lin Haitang also left. Fearing that the two would feel embarrassed, she said, "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, you should finish the noodles, otherwise they will go bad if left overnight."

The two people understood Lin Haitang's intention and felt even more grateful, so they ate the noodles even faster.

Oh my God, what kind of day is this? All the noodles are made from fine flour.

The arrival of Zhang Ben and Zhao Xiangjun really helped Lin Haitang a lot.

All the chores in the house, big and small, were contracted by the two of them.

Zhang Ben and his wife lived in the west room, where there was an abandoned bed. The room was big enough for two adults to stay.

The only downside is that it’s difficult to eat something that wasn’t available in Kang Dynasty.

Lin Haitang could only hide in the space to eat.

The arrival of Zhang Ben and Zhao Xiangjun caused another stir in Shang'anhe Village.

Everyone was extremely curious, but few dared to ask Lin Haitang. Once, when Lin Haitang was out for a walk, Aunt Qiao from the village asked, "Gu An, why are there two more people in your family? Are they relatives?"

"Oh, no, it was someone Gu An found to come and take care of me." Lin Haitang was telling the truth, but outsiders thought she was showing off.

Every woman has been pregnant, but no one in the family has ever bought a servant to take home and serve their wife.

"Lin Haitang is so lucky to have found a man like Gu An." The wives in the village were extremely jealous, but they only dared to grumble behind his back.

That afternoon, Lin Haitang was eating iced watermelon when the door was knocked again.

The knock was so rude that he almost wanted to poke a hole in the door.

Zhang Ben threw down the axe in his hand and went to open the door with a frown. He was sharpening the axe, which was a little rusty.

"Who are you? Get out of my way!" The one knocking on the door was Wu Cailing.

Seeing Zhang Ben, Wu Cailing was not polite at all. Then she suddenly remembered something and said, "Okay, I told you this bitch is dishonest. She steals men openly."

"Don't you dare insult my wife?" Zhang Ben was furious. He pushed Wu Cailing with his rough palm and said, "Get out of here right now. If you keep causing trouble, I'll punch you and you won't be recognized."

"Oh~ So you are the servant hired by Gu An." Wu Cailing said, even more arrogantly: "I am your wife's mother, Gu An's mother-in-law. You should call me old lady. Why don't you get out of the way?"

Zhang Ben had never seen anyone with such a bold face, and he didn't want to really fight with an old lady, so he just closed the door.

"You bastard! Are you blind? I was standing outside and you closed the door." Wu Cailing pinched her waist and cursed.

"Lin Haitang! Get out here! I, your mother, can't survive!"

"Lin Haitang, if you don't come out, your mother will crash into your doorstep!"

Wu Cailing barked wildly at the door.

Zhang Ben had no idea what to do with this kind of shameless and shrewd woman, and he scratched his head, not knowing what to do.

Wu Cailing's curses outside the door were indeed getting harsher and harsher.

"Lin Haitang! I'd rather raise you than a dog! You're worse than an animal!"

Zhang Ben felt that he had never been treated so harshly in his life. He picked up the big broom leaning against the wall, opened the door and hit Wu Cailing.

Zhang Ben didn't say anything, he just kept beating him with his eyes wide open.

Wu Cailing hid, still cursing, "You traitor! I'll have my daughter sell you out!"

Zhang Ben hit him even harder.

Lin Haitang and Zhao Xiangjun were watching the fun from inside the room. Zhao Xiangjun was so angry that she wanted to come out and argue with Wu Cailing, but Lin Haitang stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, wait a minute. Brother Zhang won't suffer any loss."

"We can't let that old lady scold her like that, it's so irritating." It seemed as if Wu Cailing was not scolding Lin Haitang, but herself.

"Don't worry, this old witch is a bully in her own home. Brother Zhang can handle her." Lin Haitang just watched the show and started drinking tea.

Wu Cailing didn't get any benefits from working for Zhang Ben, but she just refused to leave.

This time, I was determined to get something from Lin Haitang.

Lin Jiafu became addicted to gambling and gambled away all the family money. Now he comes home to ask for money, and when he is not given, he starts to act like a jerk and smash things in the house.

Wu Cailing can only go to Lin Haitang to ask for it.

"Lin Haitang! Come out!"

"Oh, I am an old woman with a miserable life. My daughter doesn't recognize me..."

After watching enough of the show, Lin Haitang walked out leisurely.

"Tell me, what happened this time?"

Wu Cailing immediately sat up from the ground and said, "You said you would give me five taels of silver every year, and I want it now!"

"I don't have that much money now, only a hundred coins." Lin Haitang lied with his eyes open.

Wu Cailing was so angry that her mouth twisted. "You eat meat every day, and you hired two people to serve you at home. How could you be short of money? I don't care. I want five taels!"

Lin Haitang threw the purse to her and said, "Here are a hundred coins. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, return the hundred coins to me."

Wu Cailing held the purse tightly, looked at the big wolf dog on Lin Haitang's right, and Zhang Ben, two strong men from the village on his left, and felt scared.

"Next time I come, prepare the money for me!" Wu Cailing walked away dejectedly with the money.

Zhang Ben said, "Madam, you won't really give her so much money next time, will you?"

"Of course not, give me fifty cents next time." Lin Haitang rubbed Xiaobai's wolf head and couldn't let it go.

Since you disgust me, I will make you mad to death.
