Divorced woman with child travels through time

Chu Yi forced a smile and said, "We won!"

"Okay, okay, you've worked hard. You must be tired. Go take a shower and eat before you go to sleep. Your hair is all sticky." Chen Wenfang's eyes were red, and she held his muddy hand with heartache, without showing any disgust.

Chu Yi smiled, barely able to hide her exhaustion and joy, "I'm fine, I'll go later. Godmother, Godfather asked me to tell you something."

"Come on, let's go inside!" Chen Wenfang understood and pulled him into the house. After a while, Chen Wenfang opened the door with tears in her eyes. Caiyun, who was standing at the door, looked at her strangely and was about to ask a question.

Chen Wenfang spoke up quickly, "Caiyun, it's almost dawn. Go to the female workers and pick ten people to go with us on this mission. They must be kind-hearted and discreet. Remember, these two points are very important."

"Oh, okay!" Caiyun agreed, not quite understanding.

Chen Wenfang looked around and realized that she had very few people she could use.

Chu Yi followed her out, saying, "Godmother, is there anything I can do for you?"

"You've had a long day, go take a shower and go to bed. I have my own plans." Chen Wenfang waved her hand and walked towards Aunt Hu's yard.

Just then, Aunt Hu and Uncle Hu came out together with their two children.

"Uncle, Aunt, I have an urgent matter to attend to, please help me." Chen Wenfang stepped forward anxiously.

"Fang'er, just tell me if you need anything, don't be shy," Aunt Hu said frankly.

"Exactly!" Uncle Hu could only add in time.

"Okay! Auntie, could you please go to the workshop and get a batch of women's ready-made clothes, fifty sets in total? If the workshop doesn't have enough, go to the shop to get some. Make sure you bring them back, and have them brought back in three horse-drawn carts. Then wait for me at the door." Chen Wenfang said as she walked, her mind racing. She turned around, went back into the house, quickly wrote out a list, stamped it with her personal seal, and handed it to Aunt Hu.

"Okay, I'll go right now!" Aunt Hu took it and put it in her arms, saying to Xiao Bo, "Take your little sister to breakfast, and then to school."

"Yes, Mother, don't worry." Xiao Bo was very obedient.

Aunt Hu turned and left.

"What about me?" Uncle Hu asked anxiously.

"Don't rush!" Chen Wenfang pulled out three silver notes from her sleeve. "Uncle, here are six thousand taels of silver notes. Go find Lou Guo later and rent five more carriages to get to the manor. Then go with him to buy an estate in the suburbs. It doesn't need to be too nice, just lots of rooms, with land, and all the necessary furnishings. Also, buy a few hardworking women, kind-hearted ones, with a contractual agreement, it has to be a contractual agreement. We have to buy it today. When you're done, come back and tell Chu Yi, and he'll let me know."

"This, this... I don't think it's appropriate for me to take this!" Uncle Hu's hands were trembling as he received so much money for the first time.

“Uncle, I trust you. You and Lou Guo can go together to be witnesses. He can make the decision.” Chen Wenfang looked into his eyes very seriously.

"Alright!" Uncle Hu trembled as he put the silver note into his pocket, patted it carefully, and spurred his horse out to find Lou Guo. Lou Guo's residence was not far from the mansion; it would only take two miles to get there quickly.

Seeing that Chu Yi had arranged everything so well, she went to take a shower. Chen Wenfang stood there, thinking again to see if she had forgotten anything. Looking at the faintly bright sky, she slapped her forehead. Since she was going to go there anyway, she might as well bring her husband and the others a hot breakfast. She just didn't know if she could make that much.

Chen Wenfang went to the main kitchen, which connected to the workshop. Several old women had already cooked breakfast and were eating at the table. When they saw her coming, they immediately stood up.

"Good morning, madam!" Several old women, holding pancakes in their hands, awkwardly didn't know what to say.

"It's alright, you all eat quickly. You'll have the energy to work when you're full. I'm taking all of this breakfast with me later, and the stew from last night, you can make another batch later. If you're short-handed, go to the workshop to borrow some people. Just follow Madam Hu's instructions." Chen Wenfang looked at the kitchen. "Boil five more pots of eggs. Boil them now, and soak them in cold water in a quarter of an hour and pack them up. I'll take them with me later."

"Alright, alright!" Several old women hurriedly started working, stuffing the pancakes in their hands into their mouths and then washing the eggs to put them in the pot.

Seeing this, Chen Wenfang returned to the courtyard. The soldiers had already set out breakfast, and Chu Yi was enjoying his meal with his hair still wet.

"This child!" Chen Wenfang went back to her room to get a handkerchief to wipe his hair, and then put her hand on his shoulder and said, "You should wipe your hair next time, or you'll get a headache if you do it too often."

Chu Yi looked at her with a smile, her mouth still moving, "I know, godmother, you've waited all night, have something to eat first."

"Okay!" Chen Wenfang absentmindedly munched on her steamed bun, her eyes constantly glancing towards the door, completely unable to taste anything. "Chu Yi, you rest first. If Lou Guo and the others have made arrangements this afternoon, come and let me know."

"it is good!"

As she was speaking, Caiyun returned with ten female workers, all of whom she had specially selected.

Zhao Di and Huang Shi exchanged a glance across the crowd, both feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Madam, everyone's here!"

"Have they had breakfast yet? If not, go to the kitchen and each get two steamed buns to eat on the way! You too, go and have something to eat first, the carriage hasn't arrived yet," Chen Wenfang urged.

"Okay!" Caiyun didn't hesitate and led everyone to eat.

Soon, five carriages returned to the gate. Whether Chen Wenfang looked at them or not, the seal was still good; at least the curtains weren't drawn, so no one outside could see them.

Aunt Hu also returned with three horse-drawn carts carrying ready-made clothes, and she thoughtfully bought shoes for them as well.

"Madam, we don't have enough clothes. We only have forty-eight sets. The other shops weren't open, so I broke down a door and bought two different sets to make up the difference," Aunt Hu said carefully.

"That's great, Auntie, you're so capable! Auntie, I have to go out now, so I'm leaving everything at home and the workshop in your care!"

"It's alright, go ahead. Don't worry!" Aunt Hu puffed out her chest even more, feeling quite like she was in charge.

Chen Wenfang instructed the kitchen staff to pack up the steaming hot steamed buns, pancakes, and eggs. She then boarded the carriage and called into the house, "Caiyun, hurry up, everyone get on the carriage."

"Sigh!" Caiyun rushed out, and the female workers who ran out with her hurriedly climbed onto the carriage.

On the carriage, Chen Wenfang told her in detail about the events on the Japanese island.

Caiyun covered her mouth, afraid she would scream. Those women were all doomed. Not only were their bodies ruined, but they might also have some kind of disease! What if they were pregnant? Oh God, they couldn't survive, they definitely would jump into the sea.

Looking at it this way, Madam Chen is truly kind; such a noble person like her still wants to save them.

“Madam, I may not be able to say this, but they might not want you to save them. They're already in such a state, they definitely don't have a chance to survive.” After hesitating for a long time, Caiyun still tried to persuade them. “Besides, what if some of them have children? Even if they survive, they'll be beaten to death later.”

"It's precisely because they have no chance of survival that I have to save them. If we don't save them, they will surely die. But you also reminded me that we should find a doctor to prescribe medicine. Never mind, this matter is not urgent. Let's settle them down first." Chen Wenfang didn't care. She was determined to save these innocent women.
