Days as a Wet Nurse in the Jiang Mansion

After the death of her husband and father-in-law, Ye Yunniang’s mother-in-law made a decisive move—selling their house and land before taking her daughter-in-law and grandson to seek refuge wit...

Chapter 157 Small Request

Ye Yunniang felt that it was good that Baise didn't stab Jiang Mingzhe with a knife.

"No, I won't let anyone ruin our wedding night," Jiang Mingzhe said solemnly.

Ye Yunniang blushed, "Let's get down to business, don't go off on a tangent."

"Our wedding is the most important event of our lives. I've picked a few auspicious dates, would you like to take a look?" Jiang Mingzhe showed the auspicious dates that he had consulted a fortune teller.

Ye Yunniang didn't look at it. "We'll choose after we get back and Mother agrees."

Cai Damei disagreed; Ye Yunniang would not marry Jiang Mingzhe.

"I will definitely get Mother's approval."

"She's my mother, don't call her that."

"I'll have to call her sooner or later." Jiang Mingzhe knew Cai Damei well and was confident he could persuade her to marry Ye Yunniang to him.

"Master Bao is still waiting for you to call him 'Dad'."

Ye Yunniang was speechless when Bao Min was mentioned.

A grown man, insisting that another man call him "Dad".

What happened between you two?

Ye Yunniang was curious. She had heard Cai Damei mention it before, but Cai Damei hadn't gone into details.

“When I saved Bao Min for the second time, we made a bet. If I saved him again, he would have to call me ‘Dad,’” Jiang Mingzhe explained.

Ye Yunniang chuckled, "He called you 'Dad'."

"I saved him three more times after that." Jiang Mingzhe laughed as he recalled Bao Min's frustrated expression at the time.

"No wonder Master Bao is so persistent. Honestly, why did you bring up such a condition?"

“It wasn’t me who brought it up; Bao Min brought it up first. Later, he was the one who said he had to accept the loss and took the initiative to say it.” Jiang Mingzhe didn’t mention that he had deliberately provoked Bao Min.

"He's Shushu's father, you should show him some respect," Ye Yunniang instructed Jiang Mingzhe, fearing that Cai Damei would be put in a difficult position later.

"I will," Jiang Mingzhe agreed, adding that he would explain how later.

"There's something else. Baise wants to borrow 100,000 taels of silver from me." Ye Yunniang told her about Baise's request for the silver.

"I'll arrange for someone to talk to her," Jiang Mingzhe agreed, as it wasn't a big deal.

Baise is right about one thing: everything he earns belongs to Ye Yunniang.

Ye Yunniang listed the local specialties she had bought again, "Do you see anything else you want to buy?"

"You even brought some for Old Man Jiang and his wife?" Jiang Mingzhe was surprised, but also felt that given Ye Yunniang's personality, it was quite reasonable.

"Pan'er and the others led a group to dig up the old man's third treasure. I told them the location of the treasure." Ye Yunniang was a little embarrassed, as she hadn't kept the secret.

Ye Yunniang was thinking about how she was about to marry into the Jiang family and would be seeing her parents all the time. She felt a little awkward and thought she should buy some gifts in advance as a small compensation.

“What he hid was all earned through my hard work. What’s mine is yours, so the treasure is yours.” Jiang Mingzhe felt there was nothing wrong with the old man giving his treasure to the children.

That's what she said, but Ye Yunniang still felt a little guilty.

Who took them there?

"They approached Master Bao for a partnership. The three children would split the profits 25/20. Master Bao would use the remainder for disaster relief. He said he would petition the court to credit the entire achievement to you."

"The proposal to split the profits was made by Li Ping."

How did you know?

“Pan’er is honest and simple-minded, she wouldn’t think of these things. An’an hates everything about the Jiang family and wouldn’t want anything. Only Li Ping, in his eyes, apart from the family members he acknowledges, everyone else is someone he can scheme against.” Jiang Mingzhe understands the personalities of his three children very well.

"Don't say that about Pingping. He just wants us to have a good life." Ye Yunniang was unhappy with Jiang Mingzhe's words about her son, feeling that Li Ping wanted the treasure because he was thinking of the family.

"Okay, I won't say anything." Jiang Mingzhe was very satisfied with Li Ping; he was indeed his son.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell you about the treasure in the courtyard."

"What's yours is yours. You can do whatever you want with it." Jiang Mingzhe had said it was for Ye Yunniang, so it belonged to Ye Yunniang.

"Too much money is not a good thing." Ye Yunniang thought of what Jiang Mingzhe had told her about the hidden secrets of the Jiang family.

The third-day celebration for Baise and Tieyi's child was fast approaching.

After much deliberation, Tie Yi decided on the child's name—Tie Panmei.

"Your name is too..." Ye Yunniang thought for a while and came up with a word that was easy to understand.

“That’s a good name.” Baise lay on the bed and reached out to poke the familiar Tie Panmei.

Aren't you afraid your child will blame you when they grow up?

"He dares."

“If I were Panpan, and I had that name, I definitely wouldn’t recognize you when you grew up.” Ye Yunniang took out the tiger-head shoes. “I made them for Panpan overnight.”

Baise took it and examined it carefully. "Hmm, not bad. Your skills haven't deteriorated."

Tie Panmei was awakened by the whiskers on the tiger-head shoes and reached out to grab them.

Baise put the shoes next to him and played with them.

"You're going back now."

"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow." Ye Yunniang was very excited when she talked about leaving.

"I want to go back too." Baise misses Jiangcheng and her Baise embroidery shop.

Unfortunately, she was in postpartum confinement in Baise.

Even after the postpartum period, the baby is too young for them to go back.

"I'll go back first and wait for you in Jiangcheng."

Baise took a box from the bedside drawer and handed it to Ye Yunniang, gesturing for her to open it.

Ye Yunniang opened it, and inside were the house deeds and land deeds of the Baise Embroidery Shop, as well as a transfer document.

Baise is going to transfer the embroidery shop to Ye Yunniang for free.

"I can't accept it." Ye Yunniang put it back in Baise's hand.

"The Baise Embroidery Shop is the culmination of my life's work. I don't want it to close down forever." Baise was placed back in his hands.

"I can continue to be the temporary manager. I'll wait for you to come back."

“I have a lot of businesses to manage in Beijiang City and Lvdu. I don’t have the energy to take care of the embroidery shop in Jiangcheng. I’d be reluctant to close it down completely. After all, it’s something I’ve worked hard for. I’m at ease leaving it in your hands.”

Ye Yunniang accepted the money, saying, "I will take good care of the shop."

"I have a small request."

"explain."

"The shop name cannot be changed. I hope it will always be called Baise Embroidery Shop."

“Okay, I promise you,” Ye Yunniang agreed.

After leaving the postpartum room, Ye Yunniang didn't want to go to crowded places, so she went to sit in the Tie family garden for a while.

Tao Hong walked over, looking like she had something to say.

"What do you need me for?" Ye Yunniang gestured for Tao Hong to sit down and talk.

“Me,” Tao Hong hesitated.

"Please feel free to say anything."

"You, me, I want to say thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Ye Yunniang asked, puzzled.

"Thank you for saving my life. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be with Tiexiong."

"I didn't know it was you when you climbed through the dog hole. Everything after that was your own choice." Ye Yunniang felt that everything Tao Hong had now was the result of her own hard work, and there was no need to thank her.

"No matter what, I still want to thank you." Tao Hong thanked her again, stood up and left.

He took a couple of steps and then came back. "I saw that old woman who sold you to human traffickers in Jiangcheng."
