Snowflakes fell again during the night.
After Mrs. Zhen coaxed Xiao Fuyuan to sleep, she returned to her room.
"Is your daughter sleeping?" The white wooden board opened the bedding and pulled Mrs. Zhen to her side.
My wife's hands and feet feel cold when winter comes. She has been accustomed to using the white wooden board to warm the quilt in winter before letting Mrs. Zhen in.
Even though the house can burn carbon in winter and the house is warm all day long, the habit of white wooden boards is still maintained.
"Sleeping." Mrs. Zhen took off her coat, turned off the light and lay down.
"Our family has the conditions now. I'm thinking of buying two girls tomorrow to serve you and my daughter."
Bai Banchang held Zhen's hand under the quilt. His old wife's hands were very rough from hard work over the years, and there were still needle holes left from needlework in the past. Bai Banchang felt distressed for a while.
"What are you buying, girl? I'm not that squeamish." Zhen said with a smile.
Besides, she has gotten used to it after so many years. If she goes back to the days of hordes of slaves, Zhen will not be able to adapt to it.
"My daughter is still young and doesn't need a maid. We'll wait until she grows up," said Zhen.
Bai Banban laughed twice, his wife really had nothing to say and she never disliked the Bai family for being poor.
Aunt Chen, who is also a down-and-out daughter, is very conceited and looks down on farmers.
However, his daughter-in-law knows both cold and hot feelings towards him and lives a down-to-earth life.
Moreover, Bai Banban was not a sincere person. He could feel that Mrs. Zhen's marriage to him was not to repay the Bai family's kindness, but to express her deep admiration for him.
"Now is the Chinese New Year, my wife, you should also make some nice clothes to wear. I will go to the county tomorrow to buy some sets of gold jewelry for you and my daughter. You will be happy to wear them during the Chinese New Year." Bai Ban said.
My daughter-in-law is a well-known handsome daughter-in-law from all over the country. She has given birth to so many sons and she is still so fair and young. In the past, the family was poor and had no jewelry to wear. Now that they are rich, the daughter-in-law and daughter can wear them in different styles.
He doesn't care if others say the Bai family is high-profile?
Who is his wife?
The Queen Mother's niece, of course it's a secret.
The mother of the village owner, the future champion and the mother of the general.
Who dares to say anything?
Who is his daughter?
The emperor's personal title to the village owner.
The sister of the future champion and general.
Even wearing the box of jewelry given by Cheng Mei all over her body wouldn't be too much.
Mrs. Zhen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether I wear it or not. You can go to the county to get a few more sets for your daughter, and then two sets for your mother."
Bai Banban agreed in the dark, deciding in his heart that he still had to beat his wife, regardless of whether she agreed or not, it was him who went to the county anyway.
"Alas." Mrs. Zhen sighed softly.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong? Are you worried about Lao Wu?" Bai Banban said, "Lao Wu must be fine. General Meng said that Lao Wu will be a personal guard and he will not be sent to kill the enemy this time."
Zhen shook her head in the darkness and said, "I'm not worried about Lao Wu, I'm thinking about Cheng Mei giving such a precious gift to my daughter..."
Bai Banban smiled and said, "There's nothing to worry about."
White board was very puzzled.
What's wrong?
Even if Cheng Mei is the best businesswoman in the world, how can she surpass the emperor?
My daughter is the emperor's own daughter.
And the daughter-in-law didn't say to my mother, "We think this gift is valuable, but to the world's richest businessman, it's like plucking a few hairs from his thighs."
Who cares about a hair?
The daughter-in-law was thinking too much because she sent her two sons away from home one after another and couldn't sleep well during this period.
"I was wondering how Cheng Mei managed to give her daughter a gift?"
Mrs. Zhen told Mrs. Bai that this gift was like the hair on her thighs to Cheng Mei, purely to comfort the old lady.
She couldn't convince herself that there were precious pearls in that box of jewelry, and any one she picked out was worth a fortune. Who would give such a precious gift to a strange girl.
"What's there to think about? The third child must have told Cheng Mei about his sister and daughter-in-law. Believe me, no one can resist the cleverness and cuteness of our daughter."
Whiteboard firmly believes in this.
There are several sons like him who can make their daughters look good outside.
The last time he went to buy sheep, he told people that his daughter was the owner of Fulong Township, and they happily gave her half the price and gave her two baskets of grass for free.
What's more, Cheng Mei is the richest businessman in the world, so it's not normal to give him some jewelry when he's happy.
Of course, this cannot convince Mrs. Zhen.
"The businessman surnamed Yan is the businessman of Sanzhuang Nanyang. He also said that he is Cheng Mei's housekeeper. Who is this Cheng Mei..." Mrs. Zhen said softly.
"There are too many coincidences in the world, and there is more than one surnamed Yan. Daughter-in-law, don't think too much. I see that Cheng Mei has given so many things to our daughter, so she must have no bad intentions for our daughter." Bai Banban comforted Mrs. Zhen.
Zhen's thoughts are not here.
She also believed that Cheng Mei had no bad intentions.
"Dad, do you think Mrs. Shen really had difficulty giving birth?" Zhen couldn't help but ask.
A gust of wind came through the cracks in the window, and the white wooden board couldn't help but wrap the quilt tightly, and there was a chill on the scalp.
"That can still be false!" Baiban said.
The daughter-in-law suspected that Mrs. Shen escaped death and became Cheng Mei.
This is ridiculous.
Mrs. Shen has a gentle and kind temperament, how could she become such a powerful businesswoman?
A trace of panic flashed through the white wooden board's heart.
"Maybe it's just my imagination," said Zhen.
Zhen and Bai Banban have forgotten Xiao Fuyuan's true identity over the years.
From the bottom of their hearts, the couple hopes that Mrs. Shen can live, but secretly they hope that she will never know the existence of Xiao Fuyuan.
but
"Why did my daughter leave it at our door by chance?"
Zhen recalled the scene again, as if there was a fog in front of her eyes.
"Daughter-in-law, don't think too much about this. My daughter is our daughter. Even if Cheng Mei comes to recognize her one day, it's up to her whether she recognizes her or not. With the relationship between her and us, she will definitely not lose her. Leave us alone. One more person, it’s good to have one more person to love my daughter.”
Whiteboard figured it out almost instantly.
Zhen thought about it and realized that what her man said did make sense.
Although she no longer wanted to admit it, she had been worried about what would happen if Xiao Fuyuan's identity was exposed over the years.
It is better to be recognized by the biological mother than to be discovered by the Shen family.
The biological mother would never harm her.
Besides, Cheng Mei may not be what she thought.
"Go to sleep." The white wooden board tucked Zhen into bed.
A night of snow and wind.
When Xiao Fuyuan woke up, the snow had stopped.
She and Qiuniang slept in the same room before, but now Qiuniang sleeps in Xiufang, so she sleeps in a room alone.
"Sister, I gave you some wash water." The second sister-in-law, Eugene Gui, came in with a fawning look on her face. When she saw little Fuyuan getting dressed, she said in a fuss, "Sister, why did you do it yourself? I'll help you get dressed."
Xiao Fuyuan shook his head and said: "No need!"
Then the sister-in-law came in and brought her a glass of warm water for her to drink.
"Sister-in-law, if you are the head of the house now, why don't you discuss buying two maids for your sister? After all, my sister is the head of the village, so how come she is not as good as the daughter-in-law of the Li Zheng family?" said Eugene Gui.
Eugene Gui heard that his eldest cousin Chen Jing'er, as the unpopular daughter-in-law of the Li Zheng family, had two maids.
What's more, my sister-in-law is still the owner of the village?
Eugene Gui would never admit it. She had the selfish intention of being able to control her sister-in-law even if she had a maid.
"What the second brother and sister said makes sense." Xie Chuntao fully agreed with her sister-in-law's suggestion this time.
Xiao Fuyuan quickly waved her hand and said: "No maid."
She is not used to being served by people outside the family!
"Okay, my sister doesn't want a maid. From now on, your second sister-in-law and I will serve you as your maids." Xie Chuntao naturally respected his sister-in-law's opinion.
Eugene Gui: "..."
