Dressed as an evil mother-in-law, I will clean up and take the whole family away

Chapter 266 Sudden Confession

"Yes, I still need five. I can take care of them if I don't need them. I want sweepers and washers, but I have to be able to accept the dirty laundry."

Lin Ling planned to hire younger and older people who would work quickly and calmly. After all, taking care of children really tests your mentality.

Grandma Xiang clapped her hands in excitement: "Hey, there are quite a few around me. If I can, I'll call them to see you right away."

This kind of opportunity can no longer be missed. Where can they, a bunch of old women, find a place with so much money?

Lin Ling glanced at the sky, it was still early now: "Okay, you can call me."

"it is good."

Grandma Xiang brought tea and snacks, which were rice dumplings made by herself.

Lin Ling ate and waited.

Almost half an hour later, Grandma Xiang came over with a group of old sisters, and the seven of them stood together, with smiles on their faces.

"Dr. Lin, we have brought everyone here. They are all well-known hard-working people here. These two are both midwives. They are very experienced in taking care of children. They work quickly."

Lin Ling looked at the two midwives, one was fat and the other was thin. The thin one was simply dressed and had a bitter look, while the fat one had the plumpest figure and a round and red face. It looked like he had never done any work.

It's just a face, she said.

"Reach out your hand and take a look."

All seven people stretched out their hands and looked at her nervously.

Lin Ling looked at them one by one and saw that the calluses on the hands of the seven people were either thin or thick. The hands of the fattest one were white and clean. They were really not made for work.

"You can all come, but there is a trial period."

"try out?"

The seven people said in unison.

Grandma Xiang murmured: "Doctor Lin, you didn't tell me in advance." She glanced at her good sister Zhang Xing, the fattest one.

Zhang Xing also blinked guiltily.

Lin Ling nodded: "Yes, I picked you and you picked me. If you think it's suitable, you can stay. If you don't, you can leave as soon as possible. Of course, I have to make it clear about the money. If you deliver a baby, it's 800 yuan a day." "Yue, sweeping the floor is five hundred cents, and doing laundry is eight hundred cents."

"Only five people?" Granny Xiang asked dissatisfied.

Lin Ling's favorable impression of her suddenly dropped, and she nodded: "I said it before, maybe you were in a hurry and didn't hear clearly. I want five for now, and I can come back to you if needed later."

Grandma Xiang thought for a while and looked at the sisters.

The person who will deliver the baby has been tentatively decided.

The remaining few felt that the difference in wages was huge, and one said: "Then I won't go, you go."

It would be better not to go than to be driven away.

Another said: "I'm going to sweep the floor."

There are only two people left, who only have to do laundry.

When she wanted to wash the baby's cake, the woman vomited and said, "Forget it, Huang Zhongying, you go."

Lin Ling looked at the thin woman.

Huang Zhongying hesitated for a moment. Cleanliness and money, she decisively chose money: "Then let me do the laundry."

"Okay, let's leave it like this for now. What's your name?" Lin Ling asked the one who was about to sweep the floor.

"Huang Hua."

Also surnamed Huang, Lin Ling wrote down: "Then you and Granny Ying will come to the original Penglai Inn to clean the house tomorrow. The wages will be calculated starting from tomorrow. Granny Xiang, just wait for seven or eight days. I will do it as soon as possible." Call you over."

"Go, go, go."

Grandma Xiang nodded quickly. Lin Ling still had something to arrange, so she left quickly.

First, I went to the carpenter's place to order a few baby cradles and a large medicine cabinet. When I returned home, it was already dark.

Now that she and Li Wuniang were the only ones at home, they simply went to Shopkeeper Wu's place to eat, and mentioned the current progress by the way.

"The original things are still usable, so let's clean up the backyard and make it habitable. I've already made arrangements for the medicine hall."

"Mom, I'll go over and help." Li Wuniang was going crazy with idleness. She hadn't had much activity in the past few months.

"it is good."

Exercising more is also helpful for a smooth delivery.

Shopkeeper Wu said: "Okay, I have already released the news. I think someone will come to check in soon. Come, I wish you success."

Let’s raise a toast together.

Lin Ling clinked glasses and drank it all.

Shopkeeper Wu noticed that Lin Ling was a little worried and quickly asked Li Wuniang. When she glanced at where Gu Yunting was sitting, he had the answer.

After eating, Lin Ling and Li Wuniang went back.

When she closed the last door, she heard the sound of horse hooves. She stopped until the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and she saw clearly that it was him.

Gu Yunting got off his horse and handed it over to the waiter at Shopkeeper Wu's Inn before he came back.

"Have you read the imperial edict?"

Those imperial edicts that had been offered to others were thrown on the table casually when he left. He thought that Lin Ling would read it, and if she did, she would understand, but now she was a little angry.

"No, I'm busy." Lin Ling motioned for him to come in quickly because she was about to close the door.

Gu Yunting took the doorknob from her hand, then closed and locked it tightly. When he turned around, no one was there.

When he reached the room, she was already lying down.

He sat on the edge of the bed and explained.

"He promoted me again and asked me to help Shan Zhao with work. Think about it, what Eunuch Li warned me before was to keep me away from Shan Zhao. Now when something goes wrong, there must be a monster, so I went to Zhoushan. , I left early because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to come back in time, and it’s my fault that I didn’t tell you.”

After listening to this, Lin Ling understood why he was in a bad mood after coming back.

"and then?"

After saying this angrily, she mentally slapped herself twice! The two of them are almost a hundred years old together. This is too childish!
Gu Yunting continued: "Xiao Shen received the secret report from the court and immediately began to train soldiers and horses, hoard food, and strengthen the city wall."

"Is this going to be a war?"

Lin Ling instantly became energetic, and all the messy emotions before were gone.

Gu Yunting nodded: "We are inseparable, so we have to prepare as soon as possible. We have food and money. You are ready to leave at any time."

"us?"

"If a fight really breaks out, I will go to the whole city to defend the city. If I can't defend it, you will go to Zhoushan. I have made arrangements for Xiao Shen. He will send you and his wife to his son, where Stay away from the flames of war..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ling threw herself into his arms, tears welling up uncontrollably. Her throat seemed to be stuck by an invisible ball, making her only whine.

She came here alone, and finally let go of her guard and accepted him and the children, and when everything was going in a good direction, this happened again.

She couldn't believe the life without Gu Yunting.

Gu Yunting hugged her and patted her back gently. The secret that had been hidden for a long time no longer felt difficult to reveal.

"I was actually a general before. I led 30,000 soldiers and horses to break through the enemy's trapped formation, sneak attacks on the enemy's camp, supplying food and fodder, forcing the enemy to retreat steadily. I was originally going to be promoted to an official, but all the credit was given to a man who could only talk. My lord took it, and he was promoted step by step. I had no intention of fighting, so I took off my armor and returned to the field."

"With my strength, they can't kill me. This time, I will get what belongs to me."
