The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 495: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (34)

Another month passed by like this, and Yue Niang had been pregnant for two months.

Her status in the Su Mansion became more and more respected and prominent, and even her sister-in-law's current salary was much higher than that of ordinary housekeepers.

"Yue Niang, you've finally made it." Yue Niang's sister-in-law greedily stared at the dazzling array of rare items in her sister-in-law's cabinet and said with a flattering smile, "Don't forget to support our family when you become rich in the future!

Although the Madam is in charge of the house now, she still has to be a little wary of you."

After saying this, she showed a smug look on her face and continued to brag, "Today when I passed by the big kitchen, I saw them stewing bird's nest for the lady, and I took some back without thinking.

Such a precious and rare thing should be left for you, a pregnant woman, to enjoy."

Upon hearing this, Yue Niang's movement holding the spoon suddenly froze, and the bird's nest that she was about to put into her mouth also stopped. She asked with a worried look on her face: "Sister-in-law, this bowl of bird's nest didn't come from our own small kitchen, did it?"

"Of course not. This is authentic blood swallow. We don't have such a rare thing here." Yue Niang's sister-in-law replied nonchalantly, "Just eat it with peace of mind. I'll go to the kitchen and get some back for you next time."

Yue Niang became even more worried after hearing what her sister-in-law said. She knew that stealing things in the Su Mansion was a taboo, and once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Sister-in-law, you must never take this bird's nest again!" Yue Niang gently placed the spoon in her hand on the table and said to her sister-in-law with a serious face, "I have already used these. I will give the corresponding silver money to the kitchen later."

My sister-in-law didn't care when she heard this, and retorted: "Why? My sister is pregnant now, and she needs to replenish her body. This bird's nest should be given to you.

You can now be pregnant with a child for the Su family! With such a great contribution, what's wrong with eating some bird's nest? "

Yue Niang looked helplessly at her stubborn sister-in-law in front of her, and for a moment she didn't know where to start.

If she had known that something like this would happen today, she should not have rashly brought her sister-in-law into the house.

However, things have come to this point and there is no point in saying more.

Since she couldn't tell her directly, Yue Niang had to find another way to scare her sister-in-law: "The Su Mansion has its own rules and etiquette, and you must not act recklessly.

If this matter were known to my wife, not only would my sister-in-law be punished, but I would also be in trouble!"

Hearing this, my sister-in-law couldn't help but show some hesitation, but finally nodded and said: "In that case... Well, I'll return it now."

After saying that, her sister-in-law took some silver from a box on the side and turned to walk out the door.

Looking at her sister-in-law's back gradually walking away, Yue Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope my sister-in-law can listen to my advice this time and not cause any more trouble.

Before Yue Niang's sister-in-law reached the kitchen, she happened to see Cao Wanning's maid Hong Dou walking over, so she quickly hid behind a pillar.

"Sister Hongdou, did the Madam really say that she won't eat bird's nest today?" A girl who looked a little younger said excitedly, "I haven't tried what bird's nest tastes like yet!"

"Like a greedy little cat." Hongdou poked the other's forehead, "Follow the madam well, and you will have a good life. Let's go!"

After listening to their conversation, Yue Niang put the silver money in her hand into her arms, and said angrily: "I will compensate you. My sister can't even eat when she is pregnant. Why should you two dead girls get it for free?"

After saying that, she returned to Yue Niang's yard, but she didn't dare to say that she had not paid compensation, she just said that she had already paid.

Hongdou went to the kitchen and learned about this from the chef. Although she looked angry, she admired her wife's foresight in her heart.

After that, one or two cups of tonic would be thrown away every now and then. Cao Wanning did not pursue the matter, and the people in the kitchen just thought that she was not willing to have a head-on conflict with Aunt Yue.

Of course, Yue Niang's sister-in-law also learned her lesson. Every time she sent her some supplements, she would say that they were made in her own small kitchen so that she could eat them without worry.

Another month passed like this. According to the calculation, Yue Niang had been "pregnant" for about three months. Judging from normal circumstances, the baby was stable.

Because she was already an aunt, Yue Niang made an exception and sat with the Su couple at today's family dinner, and she also got Su Weichen's permission and did not need to serve food to other people.

Seeing how affectionate Su Weicheng and Yue Niang were, serving each other food, Cao Wan Ning secretly laughed. Looking at the sky outside, he thought: This "play" has been going on for almost three months.

The climax of today is coming, I’m so excited!

Perhaps sensing that his wife Cao Wanning was particularly silent today, Su Weicheng embarrassedly picked up some food for her: "Wanning, you've worked hard during this period, eat more!"

Cao Wanning looked at the mushrooms in the bowl. She thanked her husband but did not eat the food.

Hongdou knew her master's eating habits. She had never heard of mushrooms. She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Cao Wanning's look.

At this moment, a servant outside the door rushed in regardless of anything.
