MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 12 The Little Savior

 Her hands patted her little granddaughter more and more gently, and she felt extremely at ease.

 In a blink of an eye, it had been seven or eight days since the Li family had boarded the ship.

They each performed their duties, never being lazy or slippery, and the Sun family members treated them with kindness, without any embarrassment or humiliation.

Jiayin’s mission is to play with Miss Sun every day.

The seven-month-old girl couldn’t say anything. She just kept babbling along with him.

  Occasionally spitting a few bubbles of saliva and dancing a little can make Miss Sun very happy and make Mrs. Sun smile.

On this day, Mrs. Sun looked at the little hat Zhao Yuru had sewn for Jiayin. The pattern was very similar to that in her hometown.

 She got excited for a moment and put the two children in the inner room with the nanny to take care of them. Then she took Old Mrs. Li to the outer room to look at the pattern book she had saved.

 As a result, as soon as Mrs. Sun left, the wet nurse started to yawn.

　　The hull of the ship was shaking so much last night that she almost didn't sleep all night, and she was really sleepy now.

The wet nurse simply put the young lady into the small wooden bed with a fence, and Jiayin would not turn over, so she just let her lie on the bed.

Jiayin turned her head and looked at Miss Sun through the gap in the fence. The little girl was lying on the crib, playing with her fingers boredly, and then turned over and sat up.

Jiayin was afraid that she would fall, so he made a few noises, trying to get her to lie down again.

But when Miss Sun heard the noise, she stood up holding on to the fence.

 Then, he was attracted by a plate of snacks on the table outside the fence.

It is a plate of brown walnut cake, each piece is as big as a child's palm, and it is fragrant and very tempting.

Children are very curious, so Ms. Sun simply forgot about the good news and went to get the walnut cake with her short arms stretched out.

At this moment, the wet nurse had fallen asleep leaning on the bed.

Jiayin was a little anxious. Before she could think of a way to remind the nanny, Miss Sun had already grabbed a piece of walnut cake and stuffed it directly into her mouth!

"Woo..." The walnuts were crispy and dry, and Miss Sun's little mouth was filled to the brim without spitting out.

When I wanted to cry, I sucked some **** into my trachea, and soon my face turned red from holding it in.

Jiayin wanted to jump up and run to save people, but unfortunately she was now a baby who couldn't move freely.

 She could only cry for help at the top of her lungs, "Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"What's the matter, Fu Niu'er? Grandma is here, grandma is here!" Mrs. Li ran in first.

Mrs. Sun was originally worried that her daughter would be frightened, but she saw that her face turned purple.

“Nanny!” Mrs. Sun was so frightened that her hands and feet became weak.

Mrs. Li, however, had experience. She quickly picked up Miss Sun, took the walnut cake out of her mouth, put her on her arm, and patted her **** the back.

Miss Sun’s family cried and coughed, and finally spit out the walnut cake.

But the wet nurse had woken up early now. She was as frightened as a quail and huddled at the foot of the bed, shivering.

Mrs. Sun hugged her daughter tightly. Listening to her daughter's cry, she finally came to her senses, and all her anger was directed at the nanny.

"Why are you looking at Miss!" The nanny quickly begged for mercy, "I didn't mean it, madam. I was really sleepy, so I just wanted to squint for a while, but I didn't expect that Miss would get up to have a snack!"

“You mean to blame the lady, it has nothing to do with you?”

Sun Shi asked sternly, her face turned red. If it weren't for her status, she would have hit someone.

The wet nurse pressed her forehead against the ground and cried bitterly.

“No, no, madam, it’s all my fault. Please spare me this time. I will never have another time...”

Old Mrs. Li felt a little soft-hearted when she saw that she was crying miserably and her eyes were black, so she said tentatively.

"Madam, I watched Sister-in-law Li take care of the young lady, and she was very careful. I heard that she got angry because she had no milk for the young lady, and a bunch of blisters around her mouth haven't gone away yet. Even now, there are circles under her eyes. It’s dark. I must have had a bad sleep at night and was so sleepy that I made such a big mistake.”

Mrs. Sun glanced at the nanny, her expression softened slightly.

 Old Mrs. Li gently patted the good news and stopped crying, and her tone became softer.

"Madam is out of town. She just gets angry for a moment and wants to change someone. I'm afraid it's pointless. Besides, this nanny treats the lady sincerely, and she knows that she has made a big mistake. If you, sir, forgive her this time, she I will definitely remember your kindness and take better care of Miss in the future. Wouldn’t it be better?”

The wet nurse was extremely grateful to Mrs. Li and nodded hurriedly.

Mrs. Sun also thought this was reasonable. She saw that her daughter had already pulled the string of pearls hanging on her lapel and played with it. It was obvious that there was nothing serious.

She said, "Well, luckily Fu Niu'er was by her side today, so nothing happened to my daughter. It's also God's blessing. Otherwise, you can't make up for your mistake with a hundred lives!"

Hearing this, the nanny just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Mrs. Sun say again.

“But we can’t just let it go. I’ll deduct this month’s money so that you can remember it for a long time.”

"Yes, yes, thank you madam for your forgiveness. I will do my best to take care of you in the future and will never make the same mistake as today again."

The wet nurse almost killed the young lady. If she didn't resell her or beat her half to death, it was the master's mercy.

Not to mention deducting one month's monthly silver, she would happily accept a few more months.

 “Get up.” Mrs. Sun still felt a little angry, and stopped looking at her after saying this.

The nanny stood up quickly, and then secretly gave Mrs. Li a grateful look.

“Aunt Li, I really want to thank Fu Niuer today. Without her, Nannan might have suffered a lot…”

Mrs. Sun saw the obedient and quiet Jiayin in Old Mrs. Li's arms, with deep gratitude in her eyes.

Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand, "Madam, you are serious. Children often cry, and it is just a coincidence. We ladies are lucky, and we can turn any danger into safety."

Mrs. Sun was happy to hear this and ordered the maid in a loud voice.

“Open the box, take out the pieces of fine brocade I brought from my house, and make some good dresses for Fu Niuer.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand.

“Madam, you can’t do it, you can’t do it! How can we, children from a poor family, use silk and satin to make clothes?”

Mrs. Sun paused for a moment and came back to her senses. She only wanted to give Fu Niuer some good things, but she didn't think about whether they were what she needed.

But if you don’t give me silk, what else can I give?

Mrs. Sun is in trouble.

Looking at the baby's chubby hands exposed to the good news, the wet nurse had an idea in her mind and suggested in a low voice.

"Madam, Mrs. Li and her family cannot wear brocade, and it is troublesome to sew clothes. Why not find some old clothes made of fine cloth, which can be worn immediately without being eye-catching. Yesterday, my servant saw that Sister-in-law Li's cuffs were all patched."

These words reminded Mrs. Sun, and she immediately nodded in praise.

“Yes, that’s a good idea. Go and ask Chun’er to find more old clothes in the box!”

Mrs. Li still wanted to refuse, but Jiayin stretched out her little hand and tugged on her skirt, "Hey..."

Mrs. Li thought her granddaughter was hungry or needed to pee. As she lowered her head to check, the wet nurse went out.

Mrs. Sun also took out a silver note and two ingots of silver from a small box on the side of the bed.

"Auntie, it's always good for your family to have more money with you when you go to live with your relatives. You should hide these one hundred taels of silver notes and use them as money for me to add to Niu Niu'er's future marriage."

After saying that, she pushed the silver ingot over again and said, "You put these ten taels outside and keep them for occasional use."
