Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 90 Good Words
Judging from the various performances of this woman who is suspected to be Aunt Su, she has an extremely strong desire for good things and money. For such a person, no matter how much money is, it is very tempting to her.

But Manman had another terrible doubt in her heart, so she purposely made the amount of money very vague.

She didn't know how much the farm family could earn a year, but judging from the monthly money of the maids in Chen's mansion and the market price, a few taels of silver was already a large sum.

If Mrs. Su's family really got used to the hard life from the countryside and suddenly saw their daughter, not to mention whether they have deep feelings, at least for the few taels of money, they have some genuine feelings.

But Aunt Su's words surprised Manman.

Aunt Su's flash of desire made her seem a little awkward, but she was able to adjust quickly and comforted Manman: "You have this kind of heart, your father and I are very pleased, you have a month How much money can you have? I’m afraid you spend more than you earn, so you should keep this little money for emergency, your father and I don’t need it.”

Manman dared to say that if she was really the mother of the deity, and she followed the principle of raising children for old age, no matter how much money her daughter had, it was only right and proper to spend it here. At most, she would be a little ashamed, but more grateful.After all, survival is difficult and life is impatient, and she can understand it, so Aunt Su's refusal made her even more surprised, and she was even surprised by the understanding in her words.How did she know that Manman would not be able to make ends meet in the Chen Mansion?It looks like someone who came here.

Manman seemed unintentional and said: "Yes, the money I can use is indeed too little."

Seeing her bewildered face, Aunt Su comforted her: "Don't worry, life is lived out, and it will always get better every day. Aren't you doing well now? When you become the third master's aunt, as long as you Take good care of the third master and third grandmother, and I will have a son and a half daughter in the future, not afraid that when you are not famous..."

"Third Lord." Manman's face showed a touch of sadness: "He already has many sisters, all of whom are outstanding in appearance and gentle in temperament. How could he take a fancy to me? In the future... don't talk about being famous, can I I don’t even know if I can’t survive.”

"Cough—you girl, why do you say such depressing words at such a young age? You are so small, who is worse than you? Besides, whether a man likes a woman is not just a matter of beauty. What's the use of being beautiful? You have a strong temper, you don't know how to be gentle, you don't know how to win over a man's heart, and you don't know how to do what he likes, that's just a moment of freshness... This man is just a bitch, the more you treat him It’s good not to pay back, he may not treat you well, so as a woman, you must know how to seize the opportunity, don’t flatter him blindly, but you can’t be arrogant... In short, if you want to refuse and welcome, you can’t let him get it easily hand, and let him taste some sweetness from time to time..."

Manman smiled wryly for a long time before saying, "I'm in Chen's residence, so I have nothing to worry about."

Aunt Su rolled her eyes and sighed: "That's true. You have grown up too, so don't worry about us. Mr. Chen is a very nice person, and he settled everything for us. I have also seen the house. Although it is not big, But it’s also quite delicate, and you can find everything you need, so don’t worry.”

Manman nodded, feeling very comforted, and asked: "Although I have set up a yard for you, but after all, the name is not right, and it is not good to bother Mr. Chen in the future. What are your future plans?"

"What plans do your father and I have? I'll count on you from now on. I'm not too young, but I don't know how to make a living. We have a good business. When will your father and I plan to ask the master for a favor? Let's see if he can become an apprentice in a shop or something. It's impossible to read and write, and we didn't expect him to be the number one scholar. The ancestral grave of the old Su family didn't grow that wormwood at all. Wait a few years, Tell him about a similar marriage..."

As soon as Manman returned to the courtyard where she lived, she asked the little girl to remove the hairpin for her, washed her makeup, changed her clothes, and lay down on the bed with a blank expression.She didn't get up until dinner time.

Mother Chen quietly entered the room, glanced at the inner room, dismissed the little girl, stepped in by herself, and called Manman in a low voice: "What's the matter, girl? You should be happy to see your parents and family and get what you want." That's right, why don't you eat or drink anymore? But who made the girl unhappy? Can you talk to the servant? The servant can't solve it for the girl, but there are masters and wives above. If you have anything to do, please be sure Don't hold it in your heart, it will be bad if you get sick."

Manman said nothing.

Chen's mother knew that she was not asleep, so she lifted the bed curtain and sat by the bed, as if she would follow suit if Manman didn't get up.

Manman leaned forward and sat up, her throat was a little hoarse, and she said in a muffled voice: "I'm fine, don't bother mom, let alone bother the master and wife, if mom is willing to understand me, just let me go, I'm not hungry now , Whenever I am hungry, I will eat. I will not make trouble with anyone, and I will not make trouble with myself. Mom, just rest assured, I just want to be alone. "

Mother Chen persuaded: "Since the girl can think about it, that's the best, but people are like iron and steel, you should use some..."

Manman said forcefully: "No need, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and it will only backfire if I insist on it. If Mama Chen has something to ask, just ask, and I can rest after asking. Don't use these words to test me."

Chen's mother blinked her eyes, stared at Manman's childish and willful little face, and then smiled and said: "The girl is hostile to the servant? In fact, the servant is for you Well, the so-called good medicine tastes bitter, and loyal words are harsh. If the servant is not thinking of you, why bother to risk being hated by you, and insist on saying these things that you don’t want to see? The servant has been in the Chen residence for decades. These old eyes, dare not Boasting that she has seen through the world, but at least, people with a temperament like a girl have seen it a lot. It is good for people to fight, but it depends on how to fight. Those ordinary people only fight for a moment. But it's gone. A truly smart person will know how to advance and retreat, and only the one who laughs last will dare to argue..."

Manman was speechless after being told, and her expression was gloomy, but she became more and more stubborn.

Mother Chen didn't try to persuade her, she just said: "Today's dinner is millet porridge, if you want to drink, girl, you can drink a bowl, so as not to keep the servants nagging in your ears, nothing will annoy you."

Manman was silent for a moment, then she sat up, put on her shoes, and walked out slowly with her waist-length hair hanging down.She really wanted to make use of the topic to find out the reality of Master Chen, but what Mother Chen said gave her the idea back.

Master Chen dared to make such an arrangement, of course he had a perfect reason.

He knew very well that there was no one who could threaten her weakness. The so-called family was just an excuse for the two of them.So what does it matter if it is true or false?
What he wanted to achieve by getting Mrs. Su here was nothing more than the few words she wanted to say today.If she insisted on going her own way and insisted on leaving the Chen Mansion, she would only meet these few types of people. She had no power or power, and was suppressed by family affection and filial piety. How could she fight against the whole society?
Mother Chen personally served Manman to drink a bowl of porridge, asked the little girl to come in to clean up, waited for Manman to rest before leaving.After leaving the yard, I went to talk to Mr. Chen.Chen's mother said: "Su Manman should see what happened, otherwise he would not have given out the 20 taels of silver that he had agreed at the beginning, and he hadn't called his father or mother from the beginning to the end... After returning home, he didn't say a word and lay down. Most of the night, and refused to eat, as if determined to get angry..."

After hearing Manman's reaction, Master Chen said with a mocking smile: "Little girl, how capable is she? Just thinking about turning the world upside down? She is smart. If this continues, I have even more powerful means waiting for her." .”

Mother Chen said with a smile: "What the master said is true, the servant girl thought, she is still a child after all, she is a little cautious and has limited dexterity, how could she find the palm of the master."

Master Chen thought of something, didn't say anything, and only told Mother Chen: "You usually save some time, and keep a copy of everything that little girl usually writes."

Mother Chen has been with Master Chen for a long time, and after a little thought, she guessed the reason, thinking that Su Manman had never written a pen these days, she felt a little embarrassed, and said to Master Chen: "Master wants to call Someone imitated Miss Su's handwriting, so I can write back to Master Liu?"

Master Chen said: "What she is fighting for right now is just Xiao Liu'er's infatuation with her. If her letter can't be delivered to Xiao Liu'er, I'm afraid he will come back immediately. She's thinking too well I have my own idea so that Xiao Liu'er can't come back on time."

Chen's mother said: "This servant will follow the master's instructions. However, she is busy with sewing these days and hasn't picked up a pen for a long time. This servant has an idea. Why don't you let her write another letter to Master Liu? As for whether it will be delivered or not?" Send it off, isn’t it up to the master?”

Manman, who had been standing at the window, staring at the dark night scene, sneezed twice for no reason, and felt a little hot at the base of her ears.She rubbed her earlobe, then touched her forehead.

Not hot.

She didn't think that anyone was thinking about her behind her back, so she didn't think much about it.

Manman is not that delicate, she will get chills when the wind blows.Su Manman didn't know how her original body was in the past, but since she came to this world, she has been in the Chen Mansion for more than four years, she has almost never been sick, except for that time when she was forced to take medicine by Chen Yunzheng.Having a healthy body is really a very happy thing.
To be cautious, Manman gathered her clothes, stood in front of the window for a while, closed the window and returned to the bed.

Get ill? !
She doesn't want to find a doctor when she is not sick, because she is not used to doing this kind of self-abuse, but from another perspective, if you are sick, it may be a good idea to procrastinate for a while, isn't it?
　Faced with this tough and powerful life, people are really impatient.
