Chapter 1032: My Sister-in-law is Pregnant
Qin Liupo was happy again, and the children of the three families of Zhou, Lu and Han all breathed a sigh of relief.
And very satisfied.
They have gained a lot of knowledge, and when they tell their grandchildren about this experience when they are old, they will gain their respect.
The descendants of the three families of Zhou, Lu and Han decided that after returning home, they would tell their elders that they would triple the annual gift to the Qin family this year, because the benefits brought to them by the marriage with the Qin family were too great and they had to respect them!
After Qin Liupo returned to Xindajie, she was penalized and penalized. The reason given by Aunt Qin Er was: "You skipped work every day to go to the west of the village to watch the fun. Ten minor offenses and one major offense will result in a deduction of thirty taels from your bonus. Don't cry. Xiaomi said that if you cry once, it will be counted as a major offense!"
Uh, Auntie Qin Liu immediately shut up, not daring to say anything more, and even bribed Aunt Qin Er with a piece of lotus root candy: "This lotus root candy from the south is a fresh food that we don't have here. Take it home and share it with Xiaomi girl."
Aunt Qin looked at the piece of lotus root candy as big as an egg and was speechless: "You don't have to be so generous, keep it for yourself."
After saying that, he left.
Grandma Qin curled her lips and snorted coldly: "You still think I'm stingy? Eat it if you want. If you don't want to eat it, I can eat a few more slices!"
After the imperial construction team built wooden houses for living and filled the wells and tunnels, they settled down in the ghost village.
In the days that followed, Old Craftsman Bi led his team of craftsmen to mark the entire west of the village... Fortunately, the Qin family bought half of the land in the ghost village, otherwise, with only the west of the village, there would not be enough land.
During the marking period, the men of Qin, Jiang, Xu, Qiao and Jiu's families had to run to the ghost village every day to avoid any disputes when construction started, otherwise the marking work would be in vain.
But none of these things concerned Qin Xiaomi. She was busy distributing New Year's gifts, wages, and holidays to the workers, so busy that she barely had time to breathe. Even her aunt had to come back to help with the accounts.
The Guan family treated Qin Xiaogu very well and provided her with a complete team of people... four maids, two housekeepers, Nanny Chen, and four female assassins who looked ordinary but had excellent skills.
The female assassin accompanied Qin Xiaogu as a maid.
Every time Qin Xiaogu travels, she takes at least half of this fully equipped group with her.
Therefore, every time Qin Xiaogu went to the office of the herbal medicine shop, Qin Xiaomi would feel a sense of unease, and when she looked up, she would see Qin Xiaogu leading a large group of people in.
Hahaha, Qin Xiaomi couldn't help laughing, "My aunt looks like a female general on patrol."
Aunt Qin smiled and said, "The female general is here to work for you. Hurry up, what accounts do you need to settle today?"
"We won't settle the accounts today. We'll count the wages for tomorrow. The money is quite scattered, so I'll have to trouble you." Qin Xiaomi stood up: "The money is in the next room. I'll take you there."
"Okay." Qin Xiaogu responded, and took only Nanny Chen and two maids, and followed Qin Xiaomi to a very thick and sturdy house next door.
Qin Xiaomi took out a bunch of keys and opened one copper lock after another. Finally, she opened two mechanical locks, and the solid wood door with iron rivets clicked open.
The room was very dense, with no windows, only a small door. There were boxes placed in the room, which contained new copper coins, silver, and some small-denomination banknotes exchanged with the provincial government.
"Auntie, the total amount of silver and money account book and the workers' year-end wage book are both here. You just need to check according to these two account books."
Qin Xiaomi said with a guilty look, "Aunt, this job is very complicated, but because it involves money, we need reliable people. Second Aunt, Aunt Mei, and Madam Yao are too busy, so we can only trouble you."
As for Qin Ertao, she is still learning accounting and is not yet capable of handling a large sum of money on her own.
Aunt Qin smiled and said, "This job is much easier than farming. It's not hard at all. Don't worry."
After saying this, he gave a look and the two maids beside him came over and took the two booklets.
After Qin Xiaomi left, Qin Xiaogu, her maid, and Nanny Chen hid in the pile of money and began to count and check the silver and money to be distributed tomorrow.
This was a tedious and mentally and physically demanding task. If Uncle Qin were to do it, he would be sick of it. But Aunt Qin did it with great enthusiasm.
Ask why?
The answer is: "When I first settled down after escaping famine, I was so poor that I had to split a penny into eight petals to spend. Now I have so much money to touch. It's a happy thing and not boring at all."
Nanny Chen, the two maids, and the female assassin guarding the door all laughed when they heard this.
The master never shied away from his experiences of escaping famine and enduring poverty. He was always calm and composed when he talked about it, so that people who heard him did not think that escaping famine was a life-or-death experience.
However, today Qin Xiaogu could not remain calm for too long. When she stood up, her vision went dark and she fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the maid of the Guan family reacted quickly and immediately supported Qin Xiaogu, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Help the eldest lady sit down quickly and put her feet in the proper position." Nanny Chen gave the order and immediately went to check Qin Xiaogu's pulse, but was soon stunned.
Hearing the commotion, Qin Xiaomi rushed over and asked anxiously, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Nanny Chen didn't move, she simply came over to take Qin Xiaogu's pulse herself.
After a while, she called Zhu Yiqing: "Get me a bowl of salt and sugar water."
"Yes." Zhu Yiqing hurried to do it, and the female assassins of the Guan family followed him dutifully... The old lady said that they had to watch the preparation process of the eldest lady's food with their own eyes and not make any mistakes.
There was salt and sugar in the next room. After Zhu Yiqing took the things, he poured half a bowl of warm water from the stove, rinsed the two things, brought them to this room, and handed them to Qin Xiaomi.
Qin Xiaomi took it, held the back of Qin Xiaogu's neck, and fed her salt and sugar water.
"Mr. Qin, feed slowly, don't feed too quickly." Nanny Chen kept giving instructions beside him, her voice choked with sobs.
Don't get me wrong, Aunt Qin doesn't have any terminal illness, and Nanny Chen is crying with joy.
After drinking the salt and sugar water, Qin Xiaogu rested for a while and finally recovered. Looking at Chen Mama, who was crying with joy, she asked with a smile, "Did you find it this time? It's a pregnancy pulse, right?"
Nanny Chen nodded continuously: "To answer the eldest lady's question, it is a positive pulse, a real positive pulse. The family is going to have a baby. If the old lady and the eldest master knew, I wonder how happy they would be. The eldest lady is the savior of the family!"
savior?
So exaggerated?
Qin Xiaomi glanced sideways slightly.
Nanny Chen received her gaze and said in a tearful voice, "Don't blame me for being so excited, Mr. Qin. It's really that the old lady has been looking forward to this offspring for more than ten years."
"Now that we've finally found a happy pulse, the old lady has finally given her last words to the old master. Otherwise, I'm afraid... she wouldn't be able to sleep in peace."
Qin Xiaomi: "Granny Chen, the addition of a new member to the family is indeed a joyous occasion, but you're exaggerating. I'm afraid my aunt can't shoulder such a heavy responsibility."
Don't blame her for speaking harshly. It was really because Nanny Chen made the matter sound too serious, which directly affected Madam Guan's death and made her unable to rest in peace.
What if my aunt gives birth to a daughter this time, and Mrs. Guan is old and dies before my aunt gives birth to her second child? Then everyone in the Guan family will blame my aunt!
Granny Chen was the most perceptive and shrewd. Upon hearing this, she immediately apologized: "This old servant misspoke. Please punish me, Madam and Miss Chen."
"Madam Chen, there's no need to be like this. We're family, and it's normal to say the wrong thing when encountering such a happy event." Aunt Qin smiled and said to Qin Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, I'm afraid I'll have to ask for leave from you."
Qin Xiaogu received dividends from the new dye, so she didn't think of this as going back to her parents' home to help, but rather as going to work normally.
