The wet nurse's surname is "Lu" and her given name has the character "E".
Lu E was sold by her parents since she was a child and worked as a maid in the Zhu family.
In the month when the eldest lady was about to arrive, Lu E's child was five months old.
Later, the eldest wife had a difficult delivery, and Mr. Zhu didn't know where to find milk for a while, so he thought of the family servant Lu E.
Master Zhu asked Lu E to be the wet nurse for his second daughter.
Lu E was upright, kind, and hardworking, and was deeply liked by the eldest lady.
When the eldest lady learned about Lu E's poor background, she would often reward her with some silver and give her a headdress.
In order to repay the eldest lady's kindness, Lu E agreed to be Zhu Susu's wet nurse and leave the child to the care of her gambling husband in the countryside.
When Zhu Susu turned one year old, Lu E received the sad news that her child had passed away.
Lu E, who lost her child, was extremely sad and regarded Zhu Susu as her own child.
Whenever she saw Zhu Susu being scolded and punished by the second wife, Lu E would have the urge to protect her daughter.
The wet nurse brought some crushed herbs and carefully applied them to Zhu Susu.
"When applying the medicine, the wound will be more painful. Second Miss, please bear with it." When applying the medicine, the nanny did not forget to encourage Zhu Susu to be a brave child.
"Um."
In order not to make a sound, Zhu Susu gritted her teeth.
Zhu Susu was indeed brave and tolerant. During the process of applying the medicine, she did not cry out in pain.
In order not to make a sound, Zhu Susu gritted her teeth.
But the wet nurse was not brave anymore. She looked at Zhu Susu's butt without any good meat and cried out in discomfort.
"I really don't understand how the second lady could become so vicious, even to the point of not sparing a poor child."
"Nanny, stop crying! This injury is nothing to Susu. She can recover as long as she rests for half a month. Now Susu is worried that Erniang will be bad for the nanny." Zhu Susu was not afraid of the pain, and Yun Danqingfeng's Comfort the nanny.
The nanny knew that the second young lady was a sensible child, so in order not to worry the second young lady, she could rest in peace and recuperate.
The nanny wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Silly boy, don't worry about the nanny. As long as the master is here, the second lady doesn't dare to do anything to the nanny."
seven days later
Mr. Zhu came back early from the countryside. When he saw his second daughter who had been lying in bed all day, he was very surprised and asked: "Susu, it's noon now, why are you still sleeping? Get up quickly!"
When Zhu Susu saw her father coming back, she could no longer suppress the resentment accumulated in her heart.
When her father asked questions, Zhu Susu said "Wow" and cried in pain!
Seeing his daughter crying so heartbroken, Mr. Zhu knew that his daughter must have been wronged!
"Susu, don't cry. What happened? Are you telling daddy?"
When he found out that it was the second wife who ordered the slave to beat her, Mr. Zhu angrily scolded the second wife and gave her a meal.
The second lady didn't think it was her fault and had a big quarrel with Mr. Zhu.
In order to understand the truth of the matter, Mr. Zhu asked his eldest daughter alone whether it was his younger sister who pushed her down?
Zhu Xiuxiu did not dare to disobey her mother, but she did not want to lie to frame her sister. She could only say that she could not remember the scene at that time.
Mr. Zhu was forced by family harmony not to quarrel with his second husband, so the matter was settled. But after this incident, Mr. Zhu often brought his second daughter (Zhu Susu) with him, even when he went to the countryside for inspections.
………………………
The spring plowing in March has arrived
The Zhu family's farmland is fertile, flat, and green, with as far as the eye can see.
There is a village far away from the home field. These villagers are the servants of the Zhu family.
Zhu Susu came to her farmland with her father for the first time.
Looking at the endless farmland, Zhu Susu suddenly felt like a bird that had just flown out of its cage or a frog that jumped out of the well. She suddenly realized that the outside world was so vast and colorful.
Zhu Susu pointed to the land under her feet and asked, "Dad, are these our farmland?"
"Yes, this area belongs to our Zhu family." Mr. Zhu proudly pointed to the rolling hills behind him and said, "Our Zhu family has hundreds of acres of farmland and thousands of mountains and forests."
Listening to his father's introduction, Zhu Susu couldn't help but marvel, it turns out that my family is so rich!
The Zhu family is rich, but keeping this wealth has become a difficult problem passed down from generation to generation in the Zhu family.
Dad, I want to fly!
Hey, do you know who I am?
My name is Zhu Susu!
Zhu Susu opened her arms again, like a happy bird, running in the fields and shouting to the vast fields.
I have never seen my daughter so happy, and Mr. Zhu also smiled happily.
Zhu Susu stopped running when she was tired.
"Dad, how many farm servants do we need to support with such a large farmland?" Zhu Susu asked her father breathlessly.
"Not many, about five hundred households."
"Five hundred households, isn't that several thousand people?"
"haha, yes."
"Wow! Our family actually has thousands of farm servants. Dad, you are really powerful." Zhu Susu cast an admiring look at her father as she spoke.
Looking at his daughter's Mubai eyes, Mr. Zhu chuckled.
"This land has raised our family, and we must love this land."
When Mr. Zhu was having fun, he never forgot to teach his daughter Zhu Susu how to be grateful for the land beneath her feet.
…………………………
At this time, Butler Liu came to inform that the festival was scheduled for tomorrow's chen hour.
Following that, Mr. Zhu and Zhu Susu, led by Butler Liu, came to a house of farm servants.
The name of this farm servant is Busang, who is the head of this village, relative to the leader of the farm servants.
These farm servants lived in mud houses made of mud bricks and gray tiles made of burned mud.
The earthen house looks simple, but it is very suitable for living. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.
The farm servants wore shabby clothes and lived a simple life, but they were very enthusiastic!
When they learned that Mr. Zhu and the second lady were visiting, they all came to the village entrance to welcome them happily.
The reason why Mr. Zhu is welcomed and enthusiastic by the farm servants is because Mr. Zhu is more kind-hearted than other landlords.
Other landowners treated their farm servants by either exploiting or squeezing them, and they never treated their farm servants as human beings.
Mr. Zhu never insulted the farm servants, nor withheld their wages. In good harvest years, he would even distribute some grain to the farm servants.
These farm servants have a custom of treating clear water as 'holy water' whenever guests arrive.
The hostess of the family will hold a bowl of water to entertain the guests.
The arriving guests show respect and drink the water without thinking.
Before Mr. Zhu and Zhu Susu entered the door, the farm servant girl named Busang handed them a bowl of water.
Mr. Zhu expressed his respect for the customs of farm servants and took the water from the heroine without hesitation and drank it.
When Mr. Zhu drank the water, he also asked his daughter Zhu Susu to drink the water as well.
After Mr. Zhu and Zhu Susu entered the house, they sat down with the farm servants around a small table.
Master Zhu asked the male protagonist Busang, how are the preparations for tomorrow's festival?
The male protagonist Busang told Mr. Zhu, don’t worry, everything is ready.
After receiving the assurance from the male protagonist Busang, all the farm servants are looking forward to the spring plowing ceremony tomorrow.
The Spring Plowing Ceremony is a ritual of worship before spring plowing, praying to the gods for good weather and good harvests, similar to blessings.
What a coincidence, the god the people here believe in is 'Da Siming'.
(However, the real Da Siming was demoted here, and now no one knows Da Siming who has fallen into the mortal world.)
The Spring Plowing Festival will be held tomorrow, and Mr. Zhu will stay overnight at Busang's house.
The male protagonist Busang vacated a fairly spacious house for Mr. Zhu and Zhu Susu.
