Chapter 102: Feeling measured
How much something can be exchanged for depends not only on the value of the thing itself, but also on what it is worth in Jiang Zhimiao's heart.

Although he didn't get any advantage in this deal, judging from Lin's character, he probably wouldn't make any excessive demands.

Jiang Zhimiao thought so, but as for what she wanted in her heart, it was unknown.

This body contract is complicated for Xu Yourong. He is looking forward to it, but also worried about it. Looking forward to it is because he wants to control his own destiny, and worrying about it is because he does not want his children to suffer for this life contract.

Therefore, when Lin's mother and daughter walked out of the house, Xu Yourong stepped forward and closed the door, her brows filled with uneasiness.

"Miaomiao, we only have a few hundred taels of silver in our hands now. If, if their demands are too much, we should return this contract." Xu Yourong looked at Jiang Zhimiao with a sad look on his face. , said word for word.

The moment the wooden door was closed, the room instantly became dark. Following the faint light, Jiang Zhimiao saw that her brows were filled with sadness, and she immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Mom, you are thinking too much. After all, the Lin family is the legitimate daughter of a famous family. When I left the city gate, I could see that the mothers-in-law of the house all sent money to express their condolences. In exchange for money for condolences, how can she still be interested in the little money we have?"

Hearing what she said, Xu Yourong felt a little more relaxed. No matter how much she said, Mrs. Lin was the mistress of the family and the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. No matter what, she had a richer family than her concubine. Just now, she had thought too much. Narrow-minded.

"My mother is wrong. No matter what, she has a richer family than our mothers. I don't think she will ask us for money to live on," Xu Yourong responded repeatedly and said.

As she spoke, her expression suddenly changed and she continued: "But Miaomiao, if you don't want money, surely you won't make some unreasonable demands."

"I can tell you, if this favor is going to hurt you, then I don't want this contract. I haven't had it for so many years, but if I want it back, it will hurt you. I, I will never agree! "

Xu Yourong's eyes flashed with determination, and he said in a deep voice, Lin wanted a favor, but he didn't specify what he wanted. As long as he didn't explain it clearly, the favor was like a firecracker that could explode at any time, buried deep in his heart. In her mind, it was always a source of trouble.

Jiang Zhimiao didn't expect that she thought so much, and she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although she didn't get along with Ms. Lin very much, she could tell what kind of person she was if she thought about it carefully.

Ms. Lin has a venomous mouth, but she is more sincere and harmless. The fact that these girls have been able to live under her nose for so many years is inseparable from her temperament in dealing with people. She is so tolerant. Even if you look at the capital city, they are only a handful.

If she was to be said to be a vicious person, she would have driven away Jiang Xingshuo's concubines and concubine children just like the Zhao family. It would be their turn to survive until now, Jiang Zhimiao thought. Xu Yourong was concerned and worried. It was confusing, and my mind was so confused for a while that I didn't remember the key point.

"It's not as exaggerated as what you said. Mother, don't scare yourself. If something happens to you, then as a child, I will be heartbroken."

"Besides, if you think about it carefully, what kind of person is Mrs. Lin? I don't really believe that she is cruel. Do you think that our mothers can live under her nose for so many years? When will she You have caused a stumbling block for us."

"Not overtly, not even covertly. Come to think of it, she won't make any excessive demands. She has a sense of herself, so don't worry about it." Jiang Zhimiao said, seeing her still With a thoughtful look, he continued in a thin voice: "Mother, we mothers are finally freed from the Jiang family. Why waste our brains thinking about things that are uncertain? We only agreed on a favor and didn't get it." Talk about time, maybe they will have a chance to talk."

"You think, if life is going well, you won't mention any irritating things, so don't think so much, just take care of our little family. As for other things, we'll talk about it then. , It’s so boring to keep guessing, don’t you think so?”

After saying that, Xu Yourong burst out laughing, stretched out his hand, tapped Jiang Zhimiao's nose, and said angrily: "You, you, how did you not know that you had so many truths in your heart before? After saying so much, mother. I’ve been left speechless by you.”

Seeing that her brows had become lighter, Jiang Zhimiao chuckled, straightened her waist, patted her belly and said:
"There are a lot of things you don't know. I don't only have great principles, but also wealth. What I have in my belly is not something that ordinary people can have. Don't underestimate me."

Xu Yourong smiled and thought she was joking. When he saw her standing up straight, he calmed down and said firmly:

"You are right. Although Mrs. Lin is the mistress, she has never done anything tormenting others. I was really overthinking it just now. I am also concerned and confused. Whenever something happens, I only think about the worst. Now After calming down and thinking about it, things are indeed not as bad as I imagined.”

Seeing that she finally figured it out, Jiang Zhimiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything has two sides. Now that we are in this environment, it is right to think about the worst before anything happens, but blindly thinking about the worst is a bit over the top. Only by thinking more about details can we broaden our horizons. Once we broaden our horizons, everything will be solved easily.

There were only two of them in the house. Before Mrs. Lin came over, Jiang Zhimiao was still thinking about letting Mingzhu Minghuai take a nap after dinner. Once they came, they couldn't take a nap, so Jiang Zhimiao sent them out to play with Jingming. .

Mingzhu Minghuai was still young and didn't know what to say and what not to say. What they talked about were all shameful things. If someone accidentally let something slip, wouldn't it be in vain?
Lin's body contract has never been shown to anyone. The fewer people who know about it, the better. As for the children, there is no need to listen. I don't tell them. On the one hand, I am afraid that they will leak it. On the other hand, Jiang Zhimiao I feel like it’s not yet time.

Xu Yourong and Jiang Zhimiao thought of going together. The matter of the physical contract was done in secret, so it was better for Mingzhu Minghuai to keep it a secret for the time being.

If someone accidentally said something bald, Lin's life would not be easy if he didn't talk to them or the Jiang family. In this case, it would be better not to say anything.

After the two of them cleared away the dishes, the three little ones scurried into the house.

It was almost winter, and the temperature was getting lower day by day. Xu Yourong put three layers of clothes on them, which could not be seen from the outside, but it could be seen from their inflexible movements that they were wearing clothes. How thick is it.

The children were wrapped up tightly and their movements were very clumsy. They played wildly outside, and their little faces were flushed with heat. For a moment, Jiang Zhimiao thought of red eggs. Their appearance was ordinary. two.

Seeing their appearance, Jiang Zhimiao was not polite and laughed.
