The Gong family was very busy, not only because they had to prepare to leave for Shinshu in a few days, but also because of what their eldest lady said.
Although many people are still holding a wait-and-see attitude, there are also those who are bold enough to come to them to sell their houses.
For such a person, Lin Mengya not only happily made the settlement for him, but also gave him another five taels of silver on top of selling the house.
You know, in Feiye City, that person's house may not be worth five taels.
If there is one, there are two.
After tasting the sweetness, non-Yecheng people began a vigorous plan to sell their houses.
After Lin Mengya returned to the Gong family, she discussed it with her great-grandmother and the others again. Gong Qiang's matter reminded her.
What the children of the Gong family lack most now is a strong spirit and a strong body.
In order to train the children of the Gong family and to train them, Lin Mengya discussed with her great-grandfather and found two serious and responsible people to form a construction team, mainly responsible for building houses for the residents who were resettled outside the city.
Everyone except Gong Wu found this proposal very strange and creative.
But my great-grandfather was a little worried. After all, the Gong family was an aristocratic family. If a child from an aristocratic family wanted to be a bricklayer—
I have to say that the head of their family is somewhat creative.
But Gong Qianfeng was no match for Lin Mengya. A few words could make the old man burst into tears and his chest would feel panicked.
So much so that the Gong family has learned such a lesson since the return of the head of the Gong Ya family.
Adults must work hard outside for a year. During this period, the elders of the palace will rate the person's virtue. The higher the score, the more important he will be when he returns home.
In short, the descendants of the Gong family all love and hate her.
It's a pity that she turned into ashes by then, so she wouldn't care.
"Aunt, aunt, feed me!"
Mo Yan's childish voice in her arms brought back Lin Mengya's thoughts that had drifted away.
When he came back to his senses, Mo Yan had already pouted his little mouth stained red by watermelon juice, and acted dissatisfiedly towards her.
"Okay, okay, don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
Lin Mengya quickly dug a spoonful of the sweet melon pulp and fed it to the little guy.
Mo Yan squinted his eyes, a bit of pride on his face.
Only he can have the honor of being fed by his aunt!
Not far away, Yuanze and Qiaoer could only look at it with envy, and then bit the watermelon in their hands harder.
Um! sweet!
"Mo Yan," Lin Mengya took out her handkerchief, wiped Mo Yan's face, and said softly. "Auntie is going to go out in a few days. You have to get along well with your brothers and sisters at home. Do you understand?"
He tapped Little Douding's nose. Although Mo Yan was not satisfied, with Yuanze and Qiao'er accompanying him, Mo Yan was no longer as lonely as before.
Children are always very sensitive in a different way. Maybe the difference is such that she is missing a child just like them. Needless to say, Mo Yan, Qiaoer and Yuanze are also very close to her.
"Mo Yan understands, aunt, please feel free to go. But please come back soon!"
Although he told Lin Mengya to go, his little hands still unconsciously hugged her calf.
"Okay, when aunt comes back, she will bring gifts for you all!"
She stuffed a mouthful of watermelon into Mo Yan's mouth. Even though they were just little kids, they all understood it in her heart.
When he heard that there was a gift, Mo Yan laughed again and continued to shout for watermelon.
"Master, Meng is here and Xu is here."
Bai Su definitely wanted to go with her, but it wouldn't be okay if the three little things at home were left unattended.
In the past few days, because of Mo Yan's presence, great-grandfather also met Yuanze several times.
After all, it was a close relationship between flesh and blood. Great-grandfather also knew that the child was innocent, so he always asked Mo Yan and Yuanze to play in his yard these days.
In the past few days, most of the time, the three little guys ate and lived together in their great-grandfather's yard.
But with her gone like this, the child has to be entrusted to the care of the right person.
After getting to know her over the past few days, she found that Meng was a good person. As for Gong Qiang's wife, Xu, her body was damaged after all, and her mind was stimulated by the tragic death of her son, and sometimes she was confused.
Although Lin Mengya gave her some prescriptions to nurse her back to health, she couldn't recover overnight.
Therefore, she could only entrust the child to Meng and let Xu help.
"Please come in, Yuanze, and take your brothers and sisters out to play."
Although Gong Yuanze is young, he was taught well by Meng, and he acts like an older brother.
The two little followers were also willing to listen to him and accept his care.
The little man went out to play with two little buns, and Bai Su went to take care of them himself.
Soon, Meng and Xu arrived in front of Lin Mengya.
"I've met the eldest lady."
The two of them knelt down together and saluted Lin Mengya.
Although the children could play freely in front of her, the two mothers were unwilling to break the rules at will.
And to them, the eldest lady Gong Ya was very kind to both of them, and their hearts were full of gratitude to her.
"We're all up, we're a family, why bother?"
To be honest, Lin Mengya was still not used to people kneeling down to her.
But the eldest brother took her and spoke earnestly for a long time a few days ago. The general principle was that she was the symbol of the Gong family. If the Gong family lost its rules from her, wouldn't it be even more chaotic in the future
Therefore, she could only do this, but she had two thick round cushions placed in her room.
Kneel down like this and you won't feel pain in your knees.
"Ms. Xu, I see that you are getting better. You still need to take this medicine on time."
That day, Mrs. Xu, who acted like a beggar, was actually her first day here.
If the Gong family hadn't found them in time and brought them dry food, the poor mother and daughter would have followed in the footsteps of her poor child.
"Yes, thank you, miss."
Xu spoke very little, and her expression was always full of sorrow.
As both women and mothers, Lin Mengya and Meng always understand her best.
"I invited you two here because I want to discuss something with you."
"Miss, if you have something to do, just ask."
Meng lowered her head, no longer as reserved as when they first met.
But she was always extremely respectful to this young lady.
"As you all know, Mo Yan is my nephew. My nephew had a hard life. He lost his mother when he was young and returned to the Gong family with me. He really suffered a lot. In the past, this child was I always feel uneasy if my wet nurse is not one of my own. I think you two are very good, so I hope you can be his wet nurse."
Normally, a wealthy family would find a wet nurse so casually.
You have to pick someone who looks good, has a good temperament, is in good health, and mainly comes from a clean family background.
But this child was special. An Zichen also told her everything he knew about the Holy Eucharist.
Therefore, for Mo Yan's safety, she must not let Mo Yan leave her sight before he reaches adulthood.
"I-I'm afraid this is not appropriate? Master Mo Yan is your nephew. We are clumsy and might delay the young master."
Meng was frightened, but Xu didn't seem so resistant.
Probably because her dead child was also a boy, and she was always extra kind to Mo Yan.
"You also know what the current situation of the Gong family is, so I can never easily leave the child to the care of strangers. There are some tragedies that I don't want to happen again. Meng, you should understand what I mean."
Meng's body stiffened instantly, and there was a little more fear in her eyes when she looked at Lin Mengya.
Of course Lin Mengya knew what scene Meng had thought of to have such a reaction.
Sighing softly, she whispered to Mrs. Xu to go down and take care of the child first.
Lin Mengya and Meng were the only two people left in the room.
It was already summer, but Meng's body was trembling.
"Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you now. I mention this not to stab your heart, but I think it's time for you to step out. That beast doesn't deserve your forgiveness."
At home, because of Meng's special status, some people pitied her, while others also hated her.
Therefore, Meng and Yuanze suffered a lot in the early days.
But this poor woman endured it silently without saying a word in defense.
There was no trace of resentment left in Yuanze's heart.
For a woman who has suffered a lot, Meng has done well.
"No, it's not like that. Brother Zhe, Brother Zhe was deceived by the Yu family. He told me that if he didn't do that, the Yu family would take away our mother and son. It was Yuanze who also worked hard to save his life. He was saved. For this reason, he almost broke a leg. Please save him, Miss Zhe!"
Meng once again knelt at her feet for Gong Zhe.
The hands tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, and she burst into tears.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly and looked at this poor woman.
If he didn't tell her what really happened, I'm afraid she would be used by Gong Zhe for the rest of her life.
He bent down and helped the person up forcefully.
But at this moment, there was no warmth in her eyebrows.
"Do you know what Gong Zhe did outside?"
Meng shrank, looked at her timidly with red and swollen eyes, bit her lip before answering in a low voice.
"Brother Zhe, he deceived many clan members. However, he told me that although he was involved with the Yu family, what he wanted was to keep the Gong family alive. We had no food at that time. Brother Zhe took them to find work together."
This stupid woman, Lin Mengya shook her head and had to tell her those cruel things.
"Your brother Zhe colluded with the Yu family and sold the Gong family. The job you mentioned is actually being someone else's domestic slave. Haha, what kind of treatment do you think they will receive?"
Lin Mengya's smile was so cold that it made Mengshi shiver.
