Chapter 471 Stewardship

Spring will begin soon, and everyone is busy with spring plowing.

Fortunately, the few snowfalls in winter did not cause snow disasters, and the water in spring nourished the fields. It looked like another bumper harvest year.

Now that the Bai family is rich, they started to hire people for farming.

But everyone is used to farm work. Even though they hired people, Bai Dazhuang still left early and returned late to work in the fields.

The wool socks knee pads woven for the frontier army in the embroidery workshop were completed on schedule. After receiving them, someone from the army brought a letter from Bai Zhaomei and news of two consecutive victories.

A letter came from Zhongjinghou's Mansion in the capital, besides giving gifts to Tian Maimiao's two children, they also expressed their gratitude to Xie Chuntao for making Baijiayi for the eldest son of Zhongjinghou's Mansion.

After a day's work, after dinner, everyone gathered in the upper room and chatted for a while as usual, and each went to rest. There will be some work tomorrow morning.

Zhen called Xie Chuntao to stop, and asked, "Chuntao, are you okay these days? Why is your face so ugly today?"

Zhen's eyes were full of concern.

Why has the eldest daughter-in-law become thinner and thinner since the beginning of the year?

At first, she thought that the housekeeper was in charge of the family affairs, but she tried her best to take over the housekeeper's work these days, just to let the eldest daughter-in-law breathe a sigh of relief.

However, as the spring farming became busy these days, and the embroidery workshop took another order of embroidery work from a big family and needed her to teach the embroiderer new embroidery methods, Xie Chuntao took over the burden of housekeeper again.

As a result, these days are getting thinner and thinner day by day.

"Mother, I'm fine, maybe I'm tired from spring farming these days." Xie Chuntao touched his face and said with a smile.

In the past few days of spring plowing, Xie Chuntao has worked very hard just arranging the daily meals, and also taking care of the big and small things at home.

Nausea every day for two days.

Of course, she kept this from her elders and Da Zhuang, lest they worry.

Especially this morning, she was so uncomfortable that she even vomited, struggling for a whole day.

Thinking of the days before, when my sister-in-law asked her to find a doctor, she panicked.

Facing the care of her mother-in-law at this time, my heart became even more nervous.

"Don't get up early tomorrow, rest. Da Zhuang will take care of the work in the field, and there are..."

"And I."

Zhen's words were interrupted by the second daughter-in-law.

Seeing that her mother-in-law left Xie Chuntao behind, You Jingui quietly stood at the door and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two of them, fearing that her mother-in-law would give money to the old family.

"You can do it? It's not enough to cause trouble." Zhen said bluntly.

"Mother, it's not that I didn't have trouble with the family sacrifice during the Spring Festival. I'm just the housekeeper, I can do it." You Jingui said confidently.

A few days ago, she urged her sister-in-law to help her with housekeeping rights, but the sister-in-law didn't talk to her.

It's no good to count on others, she will do it herself.

Zhen hesitated.

"Mother, let the second sister-in-law take care of it, you and grandma can watch over it." Xiao Fuyuan said while holding Zhen Shi's hand.

The second sister-in-law doesn't know how to housekeeper, so she can always work.

Mrs. Zhen thought for a while and finally nodded, and said, "Okay. Since your sister said so, you can take care of it for a few days first, and you can't decide on your own. Everything must be agreed by me and your grandma."

Eujingui was overjoyed and nodded desperately.

She can be regarded as the housekeeper.

Since Xie Chuntao has been the housekeeper, the villagers have fawned over her when they saw her. No one knows that Lao Bai's life is very prosperous, and even Xie Chuntao's status has risen with the tide.

She also wanted to show off in the village.

The mother-in-law said so, Xie Chuntao unlocked the key on her body, and You Jingui almost stretched out her hands to take the key.

Zhen changed the subject, reached out to take the key and said, "I'll hold this key first, and I'll return it to you after you rest. The second daughter-in-law came to ask me for some money at home these few days."

You Jingui's expression froze.

Is the mother-in-law asking her to take care of the house?This is for her to do the hard work.

Which housekeeper doesn't control the financial power of the family.

She regretted the housekeeper, cooperating with her is an empty shell.

"Second brother and sister, you have to get up and cook at Maoshi. These days, Chun Geng's father and the others go to the field early, so they have to have hot water for their meals. My sister-in-law is growing up, so I have to get up early to stew the milk soup, and the third brother and sister will milk her rice. Do put less salt. By the way, my grandma has caught a cold these days, and I stewed bird's nest in a casserole. You get up at night to see if it boils dry, and you have to make sure that grandma can eat it tomorrow morning..." Xie Chuntao told You Jingui one by one.

Eujingui's mind was buzzing.

Is this the housekeeper or the housekeeper, why do you need to do so much work.

The great mother-in-law is also true. Now that the family has money, they don't want to buy two people to do it.

"Second sister-in-law, is it too much for you?" Xiao Fuyuan asked abruptly.

You Jingui waved his hands again and again, and said, "No, no, how can such a small matter trouble me."

She didn't dare to complain, but after this complaint, the housekeeper had nothing to do with her.

"You see the housekeeper is simple. You don't know how much your sister-in-law has paid when you are sleeping. Anyway, you will know your sister-in-law's hard work if you experience it." Zhen said.

At this moment, she suddenly understood the intention of the little girl.

The second daughter-in-law is not allowed to be the housekeeper, she always comes out to jump around from time to time, thinking that she can compare herself with the sun.

Let her try it now, and see if she will always be jealous of the eldest daughter-in-law in the future.

However, Mrs. Zhen also reflected on it. Before, she left all the housekeeping matters to the eldest daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law was originally a hands-on temperament, so she was tired.

These tasks should be assigned to the second daughter-in-law. The second daughter-in-law is tall, strong and energetic, and she will not gossip with others when she has work on her body.

"Chuntao, don't worry about it, just take a good rest these days." Zhen Shi said to Xie Chuntao.

Xie Chuntao nodded and said to You Jingui: "Second brother and sister, I will trouble you for a while."

After making arrangements, Xie Chuntao and You Jingui both left from Zhen's room.

"You want your second sister-in-law to be the housekeeper, because you want her to work and kill her, don't you?" Zhen Shi asked the little girl with a smile.

Xiao Fuyuan nodded, and said again: "Sister-in-law is too tired."

Zhen Shi sighed, and said: "Your sister-in-law doesn't look well these days, let Mr. Wu show her."

Xiao Fuyuan shook Zhen's arm and said, "Let's go to the town and ask for a doctor."

Zhen's heart skipped a beat, what did my daughter mean by that?
Could it be the eldest daughter-in-law...

Xiao Fuyuan saw from Zhen's face that her mother was thinking about it, so she hurriedly said: "It would be better if there are more doctors."

Zhen asked worriedly: "Girl, is your sister-in-law alright?"

Xiao Fuyuan smiled and said: "It's okay, sister-in-law is definitely fine."

Zhen Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Dazhuang was called in.

"...I originally asked Mr. Wu to show her, but she refused." When Bai Dazhuang heard that Mrs. Zhen asked him to go to the town to invite a doctor, he said that Xie Chuntao didn't want to see him.

"You just listen to your wife if she doesn't want to? Didn't you see how yellow her face is these two days?" Mrs. Zhen stared at Bai Dazhuang displeased. The boss always loves his wife, so why did he get married with his wife this time.

"She doesn't look at Langzhong Wu. You go to the town to hire a doctor tomorrow no matter what. If you ask her to come home, she won't look at it." Zhen said.

Bai Dazhuang was scolded by his mother and nodded quickly.
