Mother and daughter reborn and swap bodies, both of them went crazy
Chapter 78 Hard Times
The Feng family’s farce soon spread throughout Taohua Village.
I heard that the wound on Tao Niang's back had split open again and a lot of blood was flowing...
Mr. Bai was invited to the Feng family to get medicine.
Huang Yaning was also beaten so hard that her cheeks were red and swollen, and her buttocks were bruised...
The Feng family ignored Huang Yaning, but Aunt Zhao was afraid that Huang Yaning would be beaten to death by Tao Niang who had regained consciousness, so she carried Huang Yaning back to the Zhao family.
He asked Mr. Bai to prescribe medicine for Huang Yaning, and then Uncle Zhao went to the county to deliver a letter without stopping...

"You guys are back..."
When Aunt Ruan heard the noise, she turned her head and saw Dousha walking in with a pouty mouth and a look of anger on her face.
The two maids at the back were carrying food boxes, looking very unhappy. It was obvious that they had been bullied again in the kitchen.
She sighed and sat up slightly.
Ever since the incident in the Madam's yard that night, the Master had a big fight with the Madam and the Madam no longer cared about the affairs of the mansion.
The house is in a real mess now.
At first, the Sixth Miss copied Buddhist scriptures in her room every day, abstained from meat and fish, and looked completely repentant.
The eldest, third and fifth young masters doted on the sixth young lady and also started to eat vegetarian food...
Especially since the Third Young Master is in poor health and usually has a fine diet, now he is only eating simple meals...
I heard that the Third Young Master is so skinny that he looks like he'll fall over if the wind blows...
The masters in the mansion all eat this way, and the servants' already bad food becomes even worse...
The servants hoped every day that the Madam would forgive the Sixth Miss and the others, so that the young masters would not have to eat vegetarian food and they could live a good life for a few days.
But the lady chose to hide in the Peony Courtyard and never show up. The servants had to eat meals without even a drop of oil for several days in a row, and many of them became so thin that their chins became pointed.
Therefore, everyone had complaints about the lady and thought she was too cruel.
Later, some servants who could not bear it any longer paid out of their own pockets to ask the cook to prepare some meat dishes, but the cook did not dare to do so.
At present, only the lady who runs a small kitchen has not been affected, which has made the servants complain more about her.
In the eyes of Aunt Ruan, the actions of the young masters and the Sixth Miss were simply putting the Madam on the spot...
"Cough cough..." As she thought about it, she couldn't help but cough.
"Auntie, how are you today? Shall I go and ask the palace doctor to come over?"
Dousha patted Aunt Ruan's back gently and was about to go out to ask the palace doctor.
"Don't go--cough...I'm fine..."
After drinking a sip of warm tea to stop the itch in her throat, she asked, "Show me what to eat today..."
Dousha's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and put out the contents of the food box.
A bowl of rice, a tofu soup with only chopped green onions, stir-fried shredded radish, boiled cabbage...
Aunt Ruan looked normal, as if she was used to it. "What about yours?"
Dousha hesitated and didn't move. The two maids couldn't help it any longer, so they opened another food box and motioned to Aunt Ruan to look at it.
There were only a few steamed buns inside, two of which were slightly whiter in color, which should be the portion for the red bean paste.
The remaining few were black and looked unappetizing.
"Auntie, it's not that we old servants can't endure hardship, it's just that the food is getting worse day by day, and the steamed buns are getting harder day by day.
"The ones I received today are strong enough to build a house. Not to mention that the old slaves have bad teeth due to their age, even a strong donkey would break its teeth if it eats these steamed buns!
"Besides, it's not good for people to only eat steamed buns without salt. There are also some pickles distributed in front..."
"That's right. Now I can't even taste salty food. My life is almost like when I was a kid fleeing famine!
"If this continues, I'm afraid I'll have to report to the King of Hell early!"
The two maids talked to each other and started wiping away their tears.
Ever since Sheng Mingshu began his enlightenment, these two maids decided to follow Aunt Ruan.
Moreover, Sheng Yong had intended to let Concubine Ruan be the housekeeper, but he didn't expect that Concubine Ruan was in poor health and caught a cold, so she ran away from such a lucrative job as the housekeeper.
But overall, the two maids felt that they had followed the right master and had been working very diligently recently.
I can't say that I am 10% sincere to Aunt Ruan, but I always have 5% of it.
For people like them who work as the lowest-ranking maids in the mansion, it is extremely rare for them to be 5% sincere to their masters.
Little did these two people know that Aunt Ruan was pretending to be sick and not taking care of the household.
Or maybe it's not that she's pretending. Coughing is her old problem in winter. If the doctor takes her pulse, she's really not feeling well...
Now the master, several young masters and young ladies have joined forces to fight the madam, and Concubine Ruan will never overestimate her own abilities and get involved.
Besides, the master never took care of Shuer. It was the Madam who enlightened Shuer. The Madam was kind to her and her son, so if she had to take sides, she would definitely stand on the Madam's side.
"Dousha, take the money to the corner gate and ask someone to quietly buy some soft bread and pickles for everyone to share..."
"How can we let Auntie spend money..." The two maids looked embarrassed.
Aunt Ruan had no appetite at the moment, so she asked the two to take her food and share it. The two maids left gratefully.
"Take some more silver and buy some salted duck eggs and dried tofu. When you get back, give one to Shu'er, and one to Sister Shui and Sister Fu as well..."
Dousha widened her eyes in disapproval: "Auntie, just give it to the Fourth Young Master. You don't have much money in your pocket, so you can't be a money-spending fairy...
"Girl, these foods don't cost much, just lend a hand..."
Dousha still pouted, "The food is not expensive, but it is not cheap to bribe those women in the corner gates... At most, I can send another portion to Aunt Shui..."
Aunt Ruan knew what Dousha was thinking. Sometimes people can live better if they are a little harder and more selfish.
If she were alone, Aunt Ruan might not meddle in her affairs, but she still had Shuer.
She always had to make more plans for her son. She had dealt with Sister Fu when she first entered the mansion. She was a kind person with a pure heart, but also a pitiful person.
As for Sister Shui, they have been dating from time to time over the years, and Auntie still trusts the character of these two men.
If in the future I or Shuer need help, and Sister Fu and Sister A Shui can lend a hand, they will definitely do so.
She nodded her little head, "One tree cannot make a forest. You know our situation in the mansion. When we are in trouble, we should help each other...
"Besides, the two people that the master loves must have already asked someone to go out to buy food. It will be much easier for you to go and negotiate now, and it won't cost much..."
After hearing this, Dousha stopped trying to persuade him and turned around reluctantly to take the money and go to do the work.
Aunt Ruan shook her head in amusement, thinking that Dousha probably wouldn’t buy too many things.
But it doesn't matter. If she guessed correctly, these hard days will soon be over.
Because the lady now is not the person who used to give in first, she should be able to accept the challenge quickly.
