Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 74

However, she only slept until dawn, and the two well-behaved children wet the bed together. Gu Yin could only grab both of them from the bed and change the bedding. The two little guys fell asleep again after a while, but she couldn’t sleep any longer, so she simply boiled water to wash the bedding.

Not long after she got up, Mrs. Wang also came out of her room.

Hearing her talk about the two children peeing the bed, Mrs. Wang almost laughed, “I wanted to remind you to be careful about it yesterday, but I forgot about it later. Wu’an is also a kid, but why did he come to sleep with you?”

Gu Yin then talked with Mrs. Wang about Wu’an’s mood, and said sternly, “It is not a trivial matter. But fortunately, our Wu’an is kind. I persuaded him yesterday, and he isn’t unhappy anymore.”

“Is this kid stupid?” Mrs. Wang said with a smile, “He was born to me, how can I still like others over him?”

As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spoke, they washed the bedding, wrung it dry, and hung it outside.

Not long after that, the sky was getting brighter. Gu Yin went back to the house and saw that the two children were still sleeping, so she lightly changed her clothes and went out.

“I’ll have to bother you to look after that child during the day. I think he actually understands words. You explain to him that I’ll be back at night.”

Mrs. Wang nodded and said it was natural, and then sent Gu Yin out of the house.

It snowed again the night before, and the morning was gloomy again. Gu Yin put on the big cotton robe, and when she walked to the alley, she saw the carriage that she had ridden before.

Gu Yin walked over quickly, and Wen Peifeng in the carriage heard the sound and came out.

“Why did Shopkeeper Wen come to pick me in person?”

Wen Peifeng first got out of the carriage and put on the footstool, let her step on it. Only then did he get on the carriage, and then he sat next to the driver.

“The snowstorm was heavy that day, I was afraid that you who had only gone there once may not know the way. Besides, I failed to introduce you to the old man, and you were kicked out. I felt guilty, and I came today to make up for it.”

The job opportunity was all thanks to Wen Peifeng. Gu Yin had regarded him as a friend, so she smiled inside and said, “Thank you so much.”

The two stopped talking, and arrived at Wen’s house in a quarter of an hour.

Wen Peifeng had to go to the shop, so he did not enter the mansion again, but he invited the old mama in the mansion to accompany her, and on the way, he also explained to Gu Yin the general operation of the Wen family.

The old mama was much older than Mrs. Wang, half of her hair was white, and she looked kind.

She was already waiting at the door in that weather, and Gu Yin got out of the carriage and hurriedly greeted her.

“Little lady, you don’t have to be so polite, just call me Hua Mama,” Hua Mama said and pulled Gu Yin up.

She was the eldest maid of the late Mrs. Wen, and she never got married in her life.

Later, Mrs. Wen was gone, and Hua Mama asked to leave the mansion. The old man thought that she had no relatives by her side, so he let her live in the mansion. Later, when he left Beijing, he also took her out.

The two went to Wen’s house together, and the servants at the door were still cleaning up the snow, and the second housekeeper was the one who took the lead.

When the servants saw Hua Mama, they all voluntarily and consciously gave way, but the second housekeeper stood at the door and didn’t move.

When Mrs. Wen was still there, the second housekeeper naturally had to respect Hua Mama, but Mrs. Wen was long gone, and Hua Mama became a leisurely meal in the mansion. Not only did he have a bad face toward the eldest son’s household, but he also had no respect for Hua Mama.

Hua Mama didn’t care about him, she patted Gu Yin’s hand on the back and motioned her to go around the second housekeeper.

But when the two turned to the left, the second housekeeper who had his back turned to them also turned to the left, and they turned to the right, and the second housekeeper also turned to the right.

There was a sullen look on Hua Mama’s face, but Gu Yin was not angry. She called out with a smile, “Second housekeeper!”

Her voice was clear and sweet, which was blown by the wind and spread far away.

“What are you calling me for?!” The second housekeeper turned around unhappily, “Why is it you again?”

“Yeah, thanks to the second housekeeper, I came for the job today. In the future, I will have to trouble the second housekeeper to help and take care of me.”

The second housekeeper’s scalp was numb when she shouted the word “second”, “My surname is Zhang, you can just call me Housekeeper Zhang!”

As he said that, he pretended again, as if he had just seen Hua Mama, and took two steps back, “Why did Hua Mama come out? I was busy instructing people to work, and I didn’t see you.”

At her age, Hua Mama was too lazy to care about such trivial matters with him, so she nodded slightly.

The second housekeeper pointed at the servants again and said, “All cats and dogs are coming in front of the door. You all carefully sweep the snow. If an old person like Hua Mama slips, I’ll kick you all out!”

Yes, that was deliberately stabbing people.

“Second housekeeper, you need to be more careful. Although I’ve only been here twice, you don’t seem to notice someone approaching each time, and you don’t seem to respond very quickly… Be careful not to fall.”

“My surname is Zhang!” The second housekeeper gritted his teeth, but Gu Yin was the old man’s chief, not a servant of the house, and he couldn’t discipline her either.

Gu Yin smiled without answering, and followed Hua Mama.
