Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 209 The Cannon Fodder Wife in the Ancient Time Traveling Novel 16

"I'm fine! You've raised the children so well that they haven't gotten sick and haven't caused me any worries. That's the greatest filial piety. But I'm old now and my energy isn't as good as it used to be. I'll have to hand over the management of the household to you in the future."

Since you are fine now, come to my place every day to learn how to manage the household! If you can't take care of the child, send him to me and I will help take care of him." After saying this, Mrs. Leng looked at her reaction.

"Mother, you said that you are fine now, and you still have your sister-in-law to help you. Please help your daughter-in-law for a while.

It’s not that the daughter-in-law is lazy. It’s just that her health has just improved a little, and she still has three children to take care of. It’s a bit too busy for her to be the manager of the household.

Although the three children looked the same as ordinary single-born children, they were not as healthy as ordinary children because of malnutrition. "How about waiting for my daughter-in-law and the children to get better and then learn how to run the household from my mother?" She didn't want to do such thankless tasks.

Didn't you hear what Old Lady Leng said? She was learning how to manage the household, not just handing over the household expenses to her! Even though she was so ill, she still had the power to manage the household firmly in her hands, which showed that Old Lady Leng still valued the power to manage the household.

Fortunately, Xia Xiaoxiao likes to be lazy, otherwise, if it were someone else, she would not be so easy to talk to. After all, as a marquis' wife, if she does not manage the household, she is a marquis' wife without real power, and she will be looked down upon when socializing outside.

But Xia Xiaoxiao didn't care about that. No matter how well the old lady managed the household and how much power she had in her hands, could she still hold on to it forever? Didn't everything in the mansion end up being given to her?

The old lady didn't have a second son! Besides, she wouldn't give her husband's things to her parents, so Xia Xiaoxiao wasn't worried at all. She was happy to see someone help her with the work.

As for giving all the family property to her daughter as a dowry, that depends on whether she agrees. But I believe the old lady will not do that, after all, there are three children who are related to her by blood.

Xia Xiaoxiao used the three children as an excuse to push away the job of managing the household, but the old lady couldn't force her to manage the household, so she could only give up! What the daughter-in-law said was not without reason, and taking care of three children also requires a lot of energy.

After all, she couldn't guarantee that the three babies wouldn't get sick or be infected by her illness when they came to her place. If she manipulated her daughter-in-law and made the three children sick, she wouldn't feel at ease. Let's just let her go for now.

"I didn't think it through. If that's the case, let's just leave it alone for now. My energy isn't as good as it used to be, so you have to keep an eye on everyone in the mansion."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."

However, the knowledgeable Old Lady Leng was a little confused. She saw that her daughter-in-law did not seem to be acting when she refused to be the head of the family. Did she really not care that much about being the head of the family?

Are there really people who don't care about the power of being the head of the family? I remember when she first got married, she had a battle of wits and courage with her mother-in-law over the matter of being the head of the family.

When I thought about it this way, I had always been proud of myself for having my daughter-in-law under my control and that she was the real person in charge of the mansion. Why did she suddenly not seem so attractive anymore?

The power of the Marquis's Mansion was not in the hands of her daughter-in-law, so she felt that she had always been superior to her daughter-in-law! Why did she feel a little bored after being pushed away by her daughter-in-law today? It felt like the thing she cared about most was not cared about or looked down upon by her opponent!

Forget it, she should stop thinking about things she couldn't figure out. She still had a daughter to teach, so she would hand over the power to her after her daughter got married. It would be handed over to her sooner or later anyway. She was really a little tired, and felt that her body was getting worse year by year.

Xia Xiaoxiao was like this. Every day, apart from paying respects, she would eat and drink in her yard and play with her baby. After that, she would take care of her dowry and try to make it bigger and richer!

She also ordered people to find dozens of children from the guards, and train them well according to her requirements, and choose the most suitable one to be her child's servant in the future!

Occasionally, she would compete with the old lady of the Marquis to add some fun to her life, but of course they didn't fall out completely! Anyway, there were so many industries in the Marquis's mansion that had been passed down for several generations, and there weren't many masters in the mansion, so she couldn't be short of food, clothing, and daily necessities!

There was no major conflict of interest between her and the old lady, so even if she wanted to have a big fight, she couldn't. Xia Xiaoxiao was not stupid, she would not make trouble unreasonably and deliberately quarrel with others!

Soon, two years passed, and the three children were now able to run around the mansion. Because of these children, running around everywhere in the mansion, the mansion was filled with a lot of liveliness.

Xia Xiaoxiao also changed from a gentle mother at the beginning to a roaring lion later! She couldn't understand how the cute little kid who was so well-behaved, playful and easy to bully when she was young could become so naughty now.

From the time he could crawl, the house was in chaos. The child's hands and feet were very quick, and he would crawl to a small place and hide from time to time. We often had to go to every corner to find him! He would often stuff something into his mouth without paying attention, which was really hard to guard against.

When they were a little older and could walk, they would secretly pee in their shoes. When the eldest child was not paying attention, he would stuff his poop into the third child's mouth. When the second child bit the eldest child's foot, it broke the skin! There was even one time when he secretly caught a bug and put it in the pocket of the little one's clothes as a gift for her! ...

She couldn't understand why such young children were so energetic. Wouldn't they get tired? Xia Xiaoxiao had to eat two more bowls of rice every day to take care of them, otherwise she couldn't handle it.

But they are also very good-looking, especially cute when they are not making trouble, and they are also very sweet. The voice they use when they call mommy is so cute that it can melt your heart. Every time they get into trouble, when they see that Xia Xiaoxiao's face is not right, they act cute and coquettish with her, and Xia Xiaoxiao will be fooled a few times at first.

As they grew older, they became immune to it, and acting cute no longer worked, so they ran to the old lady for help.

The old lady had no resistance to their coquetry. She was so confused by the sweet calls of "Grandma". All her treasures were almost spoiled by these three little guys.

"Mom, mom. Are you in the room? The eldest brother brought his brothers to say good afternoon to mom." The eldest brother poked out his little head!

"I'm here. Come in!" Xia Xiaoxiao, who was applying a facial mask, rolled her eyes. She was so well-behaved that she must have gotten into trouble again.

"The eldest, the second, and the third, pay your respects to mother." The three of them bowed obediently!

"Okay, tell me! Do you have any good news to tell mother?" Xia Xiaoxiao was already very calm.

Since the third child turned two, she gave their wet nurses a sum of money and dismissed them all! The children were running around everywhere, and the wet nurses were a little overwhelmed. In addition, their concept of serving children was different from Xia Xiaoxiao's.

Why do we have to wait until the child is two years old before we can leave? Why do we have to breastfeed until the child is five years old? Why can't we give them complementary foods? They think that complementary foods are not as nutritious as breast milk... How could Xia Xiaoxiao agree to this? She quit her job without hesitation.

Now all the servants who serve these three children are well-trained servants who are about twelve or thirteen years old. They are chosen by the children themselves, and each of them picked two people!

Xia Xiaoxiao even sent two of the four Qius around her to serve them! For this, the old lady scolded her, but it still did not change Xia Xiaoxiao's original intention.

Later, seeing that the children adapted well and did not get sick after weaning, she stopped opposing Xia Xiaoxiao!

"Mom, my third brother wanted to eat the red fish in the lake. He asked Zhuzi to catch it, and my second brother went to help, and then he fell into the lake." The children did not dare to hide anything. Their long-term experience made them understand that confession will be treated leniently, while resistance will be treated severely.

"Hmm? And then?" Not bad, he is getting braver and braver, and even wants to run to the lake to catch fish!

"Then Brother Linzi, pick up my second brother and let Aunt Qiuju take a bath and change clothes. Mother, please don't hit my second brother. My second brother knows he was wrong. Mother, I was wrong too. I didn't take good care of my brothers." Isn't it true that the eldest child is born half an hour earlier? No matter what happens, he is the first to start talking. As a result, he is eloquent and has clear thinking at a young age.

"Mom, I know I was wrong. Don't be angry. I just wanted to help. I won't dare to do it again." The second child admitted his mistakes the fastest!

"Mom, I was wrong too. I shouldn't have said I wanted to eat fish. I will never eat fish again. Does that red fish taste good? I don't want to know anymore. I wanted to let grandma taste it. She drank too much medicine and has no taste in her mouth." The third brother has the most ideas!

After hearing what he said, Xia Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched. Do you believe this? Are you kidding me?

"So everyone knows they are wrong, right? Since you know you are wrong, you have to accept the punishment, right? Then... I will punish you to eat only vegetables and tofu for three days without meat. Is that okay?" The three of them admitted their mistakes very quickly. Since you dare to admit it, I dare to punish you. Little guys, can't I punish you?

"Mom, can we change it to standing in the corner as punishment? Locking them in a small room is fine too." The three little guys looked at each other and bargained with Xia Xiaoxiao.

Since they ate meat, they felt like they had discovered a new world. They couldn't stop eating it. Whether it was meatballs, braised pork or minced meat soup, there was nothing they didn't like. They were also extremely picky eaters and didn't like to eat side dishes!

"No, you have admitted your mistakes. Since you admit your mistakes, you must accept the punishment." This cannot be cheated because they are the only ones in the whole mansion who can eat meat.

The old lady had been eating vegetarian food for a long time since the Marquis passed away. Other places didn't eat meat because they didn't show filial piety. They ate some meat secretly in their courtyard. The old lady didn't blame them when she knew about it, but just turned a blind eye.

"Okay! Then the children will take their leave first." Seeing their mother's expression, the three knew there was no room for negotiation, and they went out dejectedly.
