When the woman heard that Li Haitang had come from the north, she immediately stood under the grape arbor in the yard and prepared to serve teapots and tea bowls.

Li Haitang is not used to using other people's things, so she told her not to be busy, but instead ordered Wufu to serve the food and tea she brought.

"Ma'am, I'm going for a walk in the village."

Wu Fu was idle and bored, ready to go out to inquire about news. The Zhuang family lived in the village, and he didn't look up and down with the villagers, so he might be able to find out some.

"Go."

Li Haitang waved his hands, and then explained to Mrs. Jing's helper, "My maid is very active. We don't have so many rules in the North, and we don't stick to them. If we don't come to the capital, we don't have many polite servants around us." People remind me that I am always worried that I will be laughed at."

"That's the reason."

The woman nodded frequently. Seeing that Li Haitang was young, she was full of dignity and well-dressed, and her words were very comfortable. She didn't have that superior attitude at all, and she could chat with an old lady in the village. to one place.

Seeing that Li Haitang had hit it off, the woman whispered about the current situation at home.

Originally there were more than a dozen maids and boys, but yesterday there was a young lady from a big family’s mansion who was going to get married. Before paying the money, I bought a few dowry maids and came over to pick them out in person. I was very satisfied with the maids under Mrs. Go twelve.

"So many? Do you need so many dowries?"

Li Haitang was taken aback. The few maids around her were actually enough, but there was an extra bean bun, so she had to find someone to serve her, especially manpower.

"That young lady only wants a few people, but she still has a younger sister, so we went and bought them together."

The big family is very particular, and the dowry maid is not casual, because if you want to bring it to your husband's house, you must not embarrass your mother's family.

Character, appearance, and the embroidery work in hand must all be outstanding, but they must not be too outstanding, stealing the limelight from the young lady.

The big maid next to her, the few who are pulled out to match others, have to serve as housemaids, serving the young lady and the uncle when it is inconvenient for the young lady.

There are a lot of tricky ways, as a maid, who can finally marry Juren and be the master of the house, in the past ten years, there is only the wife of the Zhuang family.

"My maids, when they reach their age, let them choose their husbands and husbands. If they don't have a sweetheart, they will give a sum of money, or match them with a good one."

Li Haitang is planning to do this, he will serve you and do his best, the kindness of master and servant is very rare, no one can be the same forever.

She can't be so black-hearted and delay the life of the maids. Even Bai Guo, who is determined not to marry, will find a suitable person in the future and have to send him out.

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

What Li Haitang was talking about was his true feelings, his true inner thoughts, but the woman didn't think so. She saw Li Haitang's appearance was good, but the servant girl was a rough girl, and she thought that she was a smart person, and all the people around her were her own. foil.

"Isn't this the fate of the maid, she can't help herself."

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

At that time, Mrs. Jing said, don't look at the fact that maids sent to rich families can eat better than those in the village, and some people even get face. In fact, it's all bitterness behind their backs.

Life and death, marriage, are all decided by the master, where is the freedom of oneself.

Therefore, no matter how difficult the day was, the woman survived by herself. Although the daughter married to an ordinary family, she had both children and a harmonious family. She didn't ask for anything else. Ordinary people lived like this.

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

When the woman mentioned Zhuang Mu's mother, Li Haitang quickly brought up the topic. He was chattering nonsense for a long time before, no doubt it was just for this point, "Then the wife of the Zhuang family must be good-looking, right?"

"It's pretty, otherwise it wouldn't be..."

The woman winked and lowered her voice on purpose.

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

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

Mrs. Zhuang is a poor person, but she has a scheming heart. Otherwise, the master of the Zhuang family would not be able to marry her as a maid. One can imagine the hardships involved.

"Does Mrs. Zhuang only have one son?"

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

"In fact, she hasn't returned to Qingshui Village for more than ten years. She seems to be a son."

When the woman talked about Zhuang Ke, she took the initiative to bring it in. Zhuang Ke was his daughter-in-law, anyway, that's what the Zhuang family said to the villagers.

Li Haitang nodded. No wonder Zhuang Ke was able to go out for activities. It turned out that her identity was tampered with. People in the village thought she was the daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family. Of course, no one would gossip about her pregnancy.

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

Wu Fu walked around and found out the same news as Li Haitang.

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

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

"The child, why did you stay?"

Li Haitang shook her head, she thought so at first, but things were much 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 belonged to Yang Xu, so there was no need for the banker to take the risk of losing his daughter's reputation by keeping this child. It must be known that the woman who gave birth had a wide open pelvis, and an experienced woman could tell at a glance.

Zhuang can remarry, except as a widow.

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

Don't forget that 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 it big.

His own son has been dismembered, and he still comes to calculate this, which is full of doubts.

Li Haitang was afraid that he would be stunned, so he took out the pamphlet and listed a few doubts, planning to go home and discuss it with his savage husband.

In this way, I waited until the sun set and it was already dark before Mrs. Jing brought a dozen little girls home.

Hearing that Li Haitang had waited for almost a day, Mrs. Jing was very embarrassed.

"How can I blame you for this? Before I came, I didn't say hello." Li Haitang carefully looked at the dozen or so little girls. Being valued by parents and sold.
