When the woman heard that Li Haitang came from the north, she immediately prepared teapots and bowls under the grape trellis in the yard.

Li Haitang was not used to using other people's things, so he told her not to be busy, and then told Wufu to put out the food and tea he had brought.

"Madam, I'm going to go for a walk in the village."

Wufu was bored and ready to go out to find out the news. The dealer lives in the village, and he meets the villagers without looking up, so maybe he can find out something.

"Go ahead."

Li Haitang waved his hand and turned to explain to Mrs. Jing's helper, "My maid is very restless. We in the North don't have so many rules and we are not strict. We are not in Kyoto, and there are not many servants around us who know how to behave." People remind me that they are always worried that they will be laughed at.”

"That's exactly what it means."

The woman nodded frequently, seeing that Li Haitang was not very young, looked noble and well-dressed, and made people feel comfortable in her speech. She did not have that condescending attitude at all. She was able to chat with an old woman in the village. to one place.

Seeing that Li Haitang fell in love with him, the woman whispered about the current situation at home.

Originally there were more than a dozen girls and boys, but yesterday a young lady from a wealthy family was getting married. Before paying the money, I bought a few more maids for dowry, and came to pick them myself. I was very satisfied with Mrs. Jing's girls and bought them in one go. Go twelve.

"So much? Do you need so much dowry?"

Li Haitang was shocked. The few maids around her were actually enough, but they just needed an extra beanbag, and they had to find someone to wait on them, which was especially needed.

"That lady only had a few people, but she also had a younger sister, so they went shopping together."

Rich families are very particular about marrying off maids casually, because if they are taken to the husband's family, they must not embarrass their parents' family.

Your character, appearance, and embroidery skills must all stand out, but you can't be too outstanding and steal the spotlight from the young lady.

The eldest maid next to her, and the few who are dragged out to match others, all have to serve as the maidservant of the general room, serving the uncle when it is inconvenient for the young lady.

There are many twists and turns in the doorway. In the past ten years, the only one who can be a maid, marry someone, and be the master of the family. In the past ten years, the only one who can do it is the Zhuang family's wife.

"When my maids are old in the future, let them choose their own husbands. If they don't have a sweetheart, I will give them a sum of money or match them with a good family."

Li Haitang has this plan. He will serve you and do his best. The relationship between master and servant is very rare. No one can stay in the same position forever.

She can't be so black-hearted and waste the maids' lives. Even if Ging Guo decides not to marry, she will have to send him away if he finds the right person in the future.

At least, when you get old, you have to have someone to rely on, but you can't put all your hopes on others.

Li Haitang was talking about his true feelings and his true thoughts in his heart, but the woman didn't think so. She saw that Li Haitang was good-looking but the maid was rough, so she thought in her heart that she was a smart person, and the things she wanted around her were all her own. foil.

"This is not the fate of a maid. She can't help herself."

The woman herself had a daughter. When the man died, she couldn't live well, and she once wanted to send her maid to Mrs. Jing.

Mrs. Jing said at that time that even though the maids sent to wealthy families could enjoy better food than those in the village, and some people even gained face, in fact, behind the scenes, it was all bitterness.

Life, death, and marriage are all decided by the master. Where does one get the freedom?

Therefore, no matter how difficult the days are, the woman can overcome them by herself. Although her daughter is married to an ordinary family, she has children and a harmonious family. She does not ask for anything else. This is how ordinary people live their lives.

"How many examples are there like Mrs. Zhuang?"

The woman mentioned Zhuang Mu's mother, and Li Haitang quickly changed the subject. He had been chattering nonsense for a long time, undoubtedly just for this one point, "I guess, Zhuang's wife looks good?"

"It looks good, otherwise it wouldn't be..."

The woman winked and deliberately lowered her voice.

Mrs. Zhuang was sold because of her good looks. She was only ten years old at that time, and the men in the village would always pick up the wall of her house in the middle of the night.

Mrs. Zhuang's mother thought that she was hooking up with men at a young age, so she sold her within a few days.

Mrs. Zhuang is a poor person, but she is scheming. Otherwise, he would not be able to let Mr. Zhuang marry her as a maid. You can imagine the hardships involved.

"Does Mrs. Zhuang only have one son?"

Li Haitang sighed, followed the woman with a few sighs, and hurriedly confirmed Zhuang Ke's identity.

"She actually hasn't returned to Qingshui Village for more than ten years. She seems to have only one son."

The woman talked about Zhuang Ke and took the initiative to bring her in. Zhuang Ke was his daughter-in-law. Anyway, that's what the villagers said to the villagers.

Li Haitang nodded. No wonder Zhuang Ke was still able to go out and do activities. It turned out that her identity had been manipulated. People in the village thought she was the Zhuang's wife. Of course, no one gossiped about her pregnancy.

It was hot in the afternoon, so Li Haitang went to the carriage and took a nap.

Wufu walked around and found out the same information as Li Haitang.

"Madam, tell me, is the child in Zhuang Ke's belly actually Yang Xu's?"

Wu Fu dipped her hands in tea and drew circles on the small table. According to her inference, Yang Xu raped Zhuang Ke. When Zhuang Mu found out, he became angry and killed Yang Xu.

"Then why did the child stay?"

Li Haitang shook her head. She thought so at first, but things were more complicated than imagined.

Chen Chun said that Yang Xu and Zhuang Mu once had a fierce dispute and wanted to expose Zhuang Mu's hypocritical mask. What exactly was he referring to?

The child is Yang Xu's. There is no need for the banker to risk the loss of his daughter's reputation by keeping this child. You must know that a woman who has given birth has a wide open pelvis, and an experienced mother-in-law can tell it at a glance.

Zhuang could remarry, except as a widow.

The case is getting more and more complicated, and the truth is getting closer and closer.

Don't forget, Zhuang Ke's surname is Zhuang, but she may not be Zhuang Mu's biological sister, and the attitude of Yang Xu's parents is also quite strange. They want to make trouble, but they are afraid that Xiangli will really make things worse.

His own son had been dismembered, and yet he came to plot this, which was full of doubts.

Li Haitang was afraid that he would be stunned, so he took out a pamphlet and listed a few doubts, planning to go home and discuss it with the savage husband. The case was complicated and confusing, and the moment when the truth was revealed can give people pleasure.

In this way, until the sun set in the west and it was already dark, Mrs. Jing took a dozen little girls home.

Mrs. Jing was very embarrassed when she heard that Li Haitang had been waiting for almost a whole day.

"How can I blame you for this? I didn't say hello before I came here." Li Haitang carefully looked at the dozen little girls. They were timid and poorly dressed. From a glance, it seemed that the family was having a hard time, or that they were not well-dressed. Being valued by parents and sold.
