In the seventh year of Jiazhen, the spring flowers are blooming, the Jialing country is full of color, and the huge Taishi Mansion is full of spring, and you can hear the crisp bird song when the sky is bright.

"Mother Li, you go and tell the deaf and dumb to get up and chop the firewood that you are going to use today." Mother Li, who had just gone out to work, was stopped,

"Isn't Su Xiang idle, why don't you let her split?" When Mama Li heard the housekeeper's words, she was angry.

The two brothers and sisters, Sun Shu and Sun Mo, were born without a mother, the elder brother Xiaoshu is deaf, and the younger sister Xiaomo is mute.

Although this is the case, they are also the children of Master Sun, but they have been bullied by the second lady of the mansion, and gradually everyone in the mansion dares to command them.

What Mama Li couldn't figure out the most was that Taishi Sun turned a deaf ear to this and turned a blind eye, which further fueled the flames of others.

Maybe it's because Taishi Sun is angry about the two of them killing the eldest lady, but he lost his wife as a new father, and Taishi has been in a slump for a while, but after all, it is his own child, and after so long, he still ignores the children, and Mama Li feels that Taishi's heart is too ruthless.

Xiao Shu Xiaomo was taken by Li's mother as soon as she was born, and no one cared about their life or death, but she was different, after six years, her love for them has become deeper and deeper.

The two children have always been very well-behaved, very kind, and very aware of distress, and she has loved them as if they were her own children.

But after all, her status is low, and when she usually bullies the children, she can still stop it in front of her, and everyone will say that she is nosy with the mouse, but she also gives up, and the two children will still be hurt when she is away.

When the second lady made a mistake, she could only beg for mercy in a low voice, of course, it didn't work.

Last night the second lady had the two children wash all the clothes in her yard, and if she hadn't helped them, they might have had to wash all night.

As soon as it dawned today, the housekeeper asked the two children to get up and chop wood, and of course Li's mother would not agree.

"The second lady called Su Xiang to go out to buy things today, and she can't split it." The housekeeper gave Mama Li a blank look,

"There are more than 30 people in our house who can work, and I don't believe that everyone has something." Li's mother knew that even if Su Xiang was fine, the housekeeper would say that she had a job.

"I said Mama Li, do you think that all the people in the house are like the deaf and dumb people, and they don't have to do anything for nothing?"

"Housekeeper, what you said is right, leaving others aside is to be diligent and fast every day, and be worthy of everything given by the house, but the eldest young master and the second lady are the master's concubines, why do they have to eat and sleep like you and me, and they have to work low?"

"You...... Okay, good, you're a good person. Let me tell you, today is the third lady's birthday, the host and the second lady are going to set up a banquet for the third lady to celebrate her birthday, so everyone has very important things to be busy, only the two of them are idle, you say they don't go to chop wood, who goes? ”

"Yo, it turns out to be the third lady's birthday, then you can work hard and help the second lady make the banquet a good one, and the second lady may not be happy to reward you with a little money. Why don't you just chop wood, I'll finish the work at hand and chop it. Mama Li looked at the housekeeper's slowly sinking face, and knew that her words had achieved their purpose.

Although Sun Taishi's father Sun Yizhi has died of illness, he is not only the elder brother of the current Empress Dowager, but also when Emperor Jiaqingzong ruled the country in the world, he has a very high prestige as a Taishi.

Sun Taishi was already in the position of Taishi at the age of 19, and there was no opposition from top to bottom of the Manchu Dynasty.

The Sun family's financial resources and strength are obvious to all, but the second lady she married is a stingy and mean person.

The housekeeper has received the so-called reward from the second lady many times, but that is to say, he scolded the second lady more than a hundred times in his heart.

The housekeeper knew that he couldn't get a good deal from the second lady with all his efforts this time, but the thick sarcasm that Mama Li said could hear it, and he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

"Forget it, whoever splits it is the same, as long as it is chopped." The firewood needed to entertain the guests was several times that of normal days, and she had to split it for most of the day without eating or drinking alone, and she left in a comfortable mood when she thought of this housekeeper.

"Squeak~~~" Hearing the sound of the door opening behind her, Mama Li turned her head and saw Xiao Mo's immature face,

"Second Miss, why are you up? Do you want to go to the toilet? At this time, Mama Li's face was full of gentle smiles, Xiao Mo shook her head, and gestured with her hand, she was going to chop wood with Mama Li.

"Second Miss, the slave maid will split by herself, you go to sleep for a while, there is nothing to do today." Mama Li said that she was going to push Xiao Mo into the house, but Xiao Mo hugged Mama Li's waist and shook her head with a smile.

"Mother Li, didn't you promise me, don't call me Second Miss, and don't call yourself a slave, why did you change your mind again now?" Mama Li looked at Xiao Mo's gesture and smiled: "Haha, look at my memory, it's good, I'm wrong, my Xiao Mo, go in quickly, it's cold outside, I'll be back soon after chopping." ”

"In order to punish you for forgetting our agreement, I have decided not to listen to you this time, and I will go with you to chop wood." Li's mother's heart suddenly warmed, she knew that Xiao Mo heard her and the housekeeper's words, and didn't want her to suffer for Xiao Shu and Xiao Mo, so she said this.

"My good boy, then you come into the house to dress more and eat something, I'll go do something else first, and I'll call you later." Xiao Mo nodded happily and ran back to the house.
