Since the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, a gang of gangsters from outside the door harassed a scene, the next days in Liufu were peaceful, and every three to five heard the news that there were gangsters from far and near, but no one came to trouble Liufu.

That Zhong Lin was not careless for a moment, and took a few nursing homes and Liu Wanqin to practice martial arts during the day, and divided the nursing homes into three teams at night, taking turns to keep vigil and be on duty.

He did his best, the dumb aunt was relieved, every day in addition to the normal handling of the Liu family's housework, but also took time to go to Wanji to see the situation, Wanji opened not long ago, the business was light, only those who urgently needed to deliver the baby came to invite, Wang Qiaoshou can do it she solved it herself, and when it was really difficult to grasp, she rushed to invite the dumb aunt, and the dumb aunt rushed over to help. I picked up a few babies before and after, and it was quite smooth, but I didn't make much money. Fortunately, the rent is cheap now, so there is no need to worry about losing money.

On this day, the dumb aunt finished handling the family affairs and entered Wanji in a carriage with Qian'er.

"No one is producing today, why are you here?" Wang Qiaoshou greeted him.

"I don't have to worry about the little hairpin, is she better today?"

The little hairpin ran out with a smile: "Sister, sister, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt here, usually as long as I walk, it hurts like a knife, last night I got up and walked down at night, and it didn't hurt at all - sister, the illness that has tormented me for all these years doesn't hurt for the first time." ”

The dumb aunt hugged the little girl and kissed her forehead, and since the little girl wore the clothes she sewed and cleaned up, she was no longer the dirty little Hanako.

Wang Qiaoshou looked at the little girl with a smile, "Little hairpin, it's really getting more and more cute, I want to accept her as a daughter." ”

The dumb aunt deliberately made a straight face: "That's not good, this little girl is cute and clever, I have long taken a fancy to it, and I want to bring it into the house to follow me." ”

Wang Qiaoshou was anxious: "There is still a shortage of people around you, good my brother Wan's daughter-in-law, you can leave her to me, I will definitely love her well." ”

The dumb aunt smiled: "Aunt Wang, didn't you want to drive her away the first time you brought her back, why are you reluctant now?"

The little hairpin jumped on the ground: "I'm fine, I'm really well, it doesn't hurt anymore - I want to learn to deliver babies from my godmother, learn to see a doctor with my sister, see women to see a doctor, and treat a little girl like me!"

The dumb aunt and Wang Qiao's eyes lit up at the same time, "This is a good idea, let's teach her together in the future!"

In the blink of an eye, it is the Lantern Festival.

The dumb aunt instructed Uncle Zhong early in the morning: "The news of the war outside is constantly circulating, we will be frugal during the Lantern Festival, no need to pass it, just quietly make some Lantern Festival for everyone to eat." If we celebrate the festival with great fanfare right now, I don't know what kind of disaster it will cause. ”

Old Uncle Zhong nodded: "Yes, yes, it's better to keep a low profile." The old slave thinks the same way. ”

Since it is said that it is necessary to be frugal, except for the red lanterns hung on Chinese New Year's Eve, this mansion looks very deserted and pure.

The dumb aunt took Qian'er and personally pushed open the courtyard door of the second aunt with the Lantern Festival.

"Why did you come in person? The second aunt pinched the dumb aunt's hand and asked with a smile.

"There is one thing I can't decide, so I came to ask my second aunt. ”

"Oh-" The second aunt poured a cup of tea and handed it to the dumb aunt.

"You move to the middle courtyard. ”

The second aunt's hand trembled, and the tea in the cup spilled, wetting her clothes.

The dumb aunt quietly observed and saw her surprise, she probably knew that there would be this day, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon.

"I thought it through. The dumb aunt looked at the second aunt's face, "I like freedom by nature and like medical skills, in fact, I really just want to be a doctor who specializes in seeing patients in this life, and I don't want to be distracted by more miscellaneous things." Therefore, I want to ask the second aunt to preside over this Liu family's affairs. The lord is a person who is not a director, and the other aunts in the house are still young, firstly, there is no second aunt your worldly experience, and secondly, there is no open-mindedness and magnanimity, I have observed for a long time, and I think you are the right person to be in charge of the internal affairs of Liufu. ”

After the second aunt was too surprised, she replied calmly, "You know that I have no children, and it is difficult to suppress others just by relying on this." ”

"It is precisely because you have no children and it will be difficult for you to have children in the future, that you can be selfless in charge of this family. If you change to another aunt's wife, no one can do it, because people are always selfish, as long as they have their own children, the inheritance of the family business in the end will definitely want to fall into the hands of their own children. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "In addition, I also want to entrust Liu Wan to you." He is a poor child, he has no mother since he was a child, and he has been a thief and a mother for many years. Now that it's finally good, I can leave with peace of mind when I entrust him to you. ”

The second aunt was too surprised: "Listening to your tone, you not only want to hand over the power of the family to me, but also leave Liufu? Why is this? You are Brother Wan'er's daughter-in-law, where can you go?"

The dumb aunt hurriedly smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere, at least I won't leave for the next few years." I just want to run Wanji with Wang Qiao. Relying on her alone, not to mention the cold business, she can only deliver babies, and I want to do the same part of seeing a doctor. ”

The second aunt was too surprised: "You are a young grandmother in a big family, although she is a child daughter-in-law, but she is also married by the master himself. Have you really figured it out, kid?"

The dumb aunt suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Second aunt, if I had met you a few years earlier, I would definitely have helped you give birth to your own children." How many women in this world have delayed childbirth, fallen into gynecological hidden diseases, and been tortured for life because they have not been treated in time. That day I met a girl who was only eight years old and had a bad sore on her lower body when she was a child, and for many years she couldn't find anyone to treat her. What kind of torture was this sickness that had accompanied her all these years—my heart was broken when I saw it! Ask the second aunt to help you make it happen. In addition, Liu Wan and I still don't know about the round house, in fact, as early as last year, on the way back from Layue, he wrote me a letter of resignation. It's just that when we came back, we were bothered by the big lady's affairs, and we didn't have a chance to say it. Now that the situation is like this, the lord is upset, and I don't think it's the time to mention this. So let's put it in for now. It's just that the second aunt is here, and I don't dare to hide it. In case I have to leave one day in the future, I hope that you can support me, second aunt. ”

The second aunt was so stupid that she was stunned.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched the face of the little child's daughter-in-law in front of him: "Child, do you know what you are talking about, this is a big deal, you can't talk nonsense casually." If you leave my door, you are not allowed to mention this to the second person. Thanks to our house, someone else would have kicked you out of the house a long time ago. The lord of our house is a scholarly temper, and he has always been loose in governing the family, and he has never cared about secular rules, nor has he deliberately demanded those rules in us backyard women. The eldest lady is rude, but fortunately she is not here now. Another unruly Liu Ying also left home. Aunt Nine is very favored, but her body is not very good. The rest of the aunts and wives are not very difficult people to get along with, so your daughter-in-law can be regarded as having survived now, you have become a lady in charge at such a young age, you just need to live a good life, why bother thinking about these strange thoughts——"

The dumb aunt felt that she was really trying to persuade herself. So my heart is wide. Know that you are choosing the right person. You can rest assured to run Wanji.

"So what are you going to do? I'm still not at ease at your young age. ”

The dumb aunt got up and comforted the second aunt with a smile, "Don't worry, when we opened Wanji in other places last year, we had no experience, and in the end we succeeded." Now I just need to summarize the experience of the previous stores, and then combine it with the actual situation of Lingzhou Mansion and think about it, and it will definitely work. ”

"What a stubborn child—" The second aunt watched the little figure walk out of the distance.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the residence of the second aunt was moved from the nameless courtyard to the middle courtyard.

Sure enough, as the dumb aunt expected, everyone didn't say anything.

The aunts and wives came and sat down with their own people for a while, and then dispersed.

The dumb aunt stayed with her for a while, and said that she would take care of the affairs of the house for the time being, and then tell the master when the time was ripe.

The second aunt is really capable, she got up early the next morning, and personally watched people sprinkle and sweep everywhere, and her body and bones were no longer sick and crooked, and she seemed more and more energetic.

The dumb aunt didn't sleep lazy, and after freshening up, she didn't have to be busy with housework, but went to the back garden to watch Zhong Lin and them practice martial arts.

Pushing the door in, they were no longer standing, they were boxing.

When Liu Wan saw the dumb aunt come in, he was immediately happy and practiced more and more seriously.

The dumb girl smiled at this scene.

turned around and instructed Qian'er: "Bring all the things you prepared last night, and let's set off for Wanji." ”
