Chapter 225 Why Do Women Make Things Difficult for Each Other (1)

The village chief's praise was heartfelt:

"Brother Wang! Dazhu is a really good person. Many people in our village are so poor that they can't even afford to eat, so they go to Dazhu's house to get free sweet potato seedlings."

I heard that once the sweet potatoes ripen, we can eat them as a meal! Guizhi just said that sweet potato leaves can be sold for money, so I reckon this year will be much better than in previous years!

This kind of treatment only happens in our village. In other villages, without kind-hearted people like Brother Wang and Dazhu, the difference is huge!

Brother Wang! Dazhu! You guys! Kindness will surely be rewarded!

Dazhu said in a simple and honest way:

"Uncle Village Chief! We were poor back then too, and I always felt that the people in our village were really nice! They would help out whenever they could! When I was harvesting wild vegetables, we helped each other out, didn't we? Hehe!"

"Our villagers sell wild mountain vegetables and vegetables they grow themselves, so they always have money coming in. As long as every household is diligent and hardworking, life will only get better and better! Dazhu! Guizhi! You will both make invaluable contributions in the future!"

Hehe! Then, Brother Wang and I, this old man, can retire peacefully without having to worry about anything! Hahaha!

Wang Yifei was having a bit of a headache. Qian Shi had become obedient after being beaten. But she absolutely refused to take the child back to town by herself, insisting on living wherever Wang Yifei lived.

Wang Yifei's old house has two kang beds. One kang is for the children to live on, and the other kang is for him to live with his wives and concubines? What will the children think? If word gets out in the village, how awful will people think of him for being so particular!

No matter how much they pleaded, Qian Shi remained unmoved! In any case, they had already beaten and scolded her, and since Qian Shi, as the legal wife, had both a son and a daughter, they really couldn't divorce her!

Wang Yifei had no choice but to go to Dazhu's house to ask for a cassia branch:

"Guizhi! Your third uncle has no other choice but to come to you for help! I don't know what your third aunt is thinking, she's become stubborn! She refuses to take the child back to town herself! Wherever I live, your third aunt will follow!"

It's really inconvenient for her to live with us in September with the child. Why don't you let her go work at your place first? She'll need to bring the child too, just like your fourth aunt; you should find someone to help take care of him!

Guizhi smiled and declined.

"Third Uncle! There's no daycare center where I live yet. With so many children, I'll have to hire someone to look after them. Who's going to pay for that?"

All the mothers have gone to earn money, and I still have to pay someone else to babysit! Uncle! You've got a really shrewd plan!

Guizhi said this, but she was secretly thinking about it. Huanghua Village really needs a daycare center; so many children are being born one after another. Women can't do anything but stay at home taking care of the children!

Running a daycare center only requires a few women who are attentive and patient; they can look after dozens of children. This frees up the mothers to continue earning a living in handicraft workshops or sofa factories.

Guizhi carefully considered what to do about this. She would pay for the daycare herself first and then earn it back from the children's parents later. When the children were older, she could open a kindergarten or primary school.

When the child grows up and becomes sensible and able to take care of himself, whether or not he continues his studies is no longer Guizhi's concern!

Gui Zhi was lost in thought for a moment, while Wang Yifei, still unwilling to give up, said:

“Guizhi! Even though Jiuyue came from a poor background, she is quite capable. She started planning even before the child was born. Now that she has a son, she says she is worried that I will have a heavy burden and that she will have to earn money to support the child herself.”

Guizhi looked up at Wang Yifei and said:

"Third Uncle! Aunt Jiuyue is quite sensible! She knows she won't get much of the family property. Besides, we're not a wealthy family. We're a family with strict rules. As long as Third Uncle and Third Aunt don't bother my parents all the time, and don't go around bothering Aunt Jiuyue, we'll be fine."

"This work is negotiable! Uncle! Give me some more time, I need to set up a daycare center first! Otherwise, there really won't be anyone to look after the children!"

Aunt Lan had just served tea to Wang Yifei and Guizhi when she heard that Guizhi wanted to start a nursery, and she secretly made a mental note of it.

While Wang Yifei was discussing with Guizhi when Jiuyue should start working, little did they know that back at the old house, Jiuyue was holding her child and weeping bitterly!

It turned out that in September, she had only gone to the toilet for a short time when someone covered the child's mouth and nose with a blanket. She was gone for a short time and came back quickly, so she immediately noticed that something was wrong with the child.

Quickly pull back the blanket; the child's face is already flushed from suffocation. If we had stayed any longer, September would have been separated from the child by death!

Mr. Qian, however, said nonchalantly:

"Don't make such a fuss! The child is fine, no one died. He probably just grabbed at the blanket randomly and couldn't get it off his face!"

Let me tell you, don't make false accusations. Nobody touched your bastard child!

Stop wailing and howling in front of me! What are you pretending for? I'm not some saint, I don't know how to pity women! If you want to cry, go cry outside! Your crying is annoying!

In September, she could only hold her child and go outside to wait silently for Wang Yifei to come home. But she had only recently finished her postpartum confinement and was still a little weak. Holding the baby, she was even more anxious.

Despite her young age, Xiaoyu is quite sensible. Knowing that Jiuyue is disliked by Madam Qian, she deliberately bumps into Jiuyue. The impact causes Jiuyue to stumble and almost drop the child she is holding.

"Miss! You!"

Xiaoyu said arrogantly:

"What do you mean, 'you'?! While my mother was away, you vixen took my father for yourself, and you still think you're right?! That little bastard dares to compete with me for my father!"

September dared not talk back, fearing that if she wasn't careful, her child would suffer again. But even tigers have their moments of weakness, and September was all alone, lonely and helpless, feeling a chill in her heart.

She was already helpless, forced into being a concubine due to her lowly status, and even after giving birth, she had no control over her own life. Now, her child's life was even threatened. In September, she held her child tightly, sobbing softly, utterly lost and helpless.

Zhao and the old lady were talking about September in the house.

"Mom! September looks so pitiful, sigh! She's standing outside crying with her baby in her arms!"

My third brother's wife is quite heartless; she just finished her postpartum confinement in September, and the baby is still so small. Sigh! And my third uncle, you can't even manage the household, so why did you take a concubine?!

The old lady rolled her eyes at Zhao:

"What's wrong? Can't you speak properly? Trying to show off, are you? Just because you can be in charge doesn't mean Erzhu won't take a concubine? Aren't all men like that!"

But then again, what about the third son's wife? Even if September isn't good, the son she gives birth to will still be of the Wang family's blood, right? Qian Shi is also short-sighted and has no foresight!

She didn't need to support the other woman in September; she was pregnant and all she did was work and earn money. But this woman, she does nothing all day but asks the third son for money!

Now she's starting to act like the official wife!
