Episode 8: Hua Zhi becomes the head of the household and gives the maids freedom

After Hua Zhi fell asleep, Lin Wan was worried that she would be injured, so she specially asked someone to bring the only three remaining beauty pills to her. Her mother Zhu Yingzhen covered Hua Zhi with a cloak with heartache.

Although the second wife Qi Huilan was stubborn during the day, she knew that Hua Zhi was wronged, so she put her son’s only three remaining candies on Hua Zhi’s pillow. When she woke up, Hua Zhi saw a lot more things on her pillow.

Although everyone was strict and even harsh with her on weekdays, they still loved her deep in their hearts. Just like Gu Yanxi said, the closer people are, the deeper the gap is, just like a layer of paper. You have to wait until the paper is broken before you can see each other’s true heart.

After thinking it through, Hua Zhi went to see Lin Wan, and she told Lin Wan that she wanted to be in charge of the family. According to the Daqing Criminal Law, as long as 21.5 million yuan, the forty-three people of the Hua family who were exiled to the north can be redeemed. Everyone was stunned when they heard this astronomical figure.

Even if the Hua family sold all their properties before they were raided, it would not be enough to raise this amount. However, Hua Zhi felt that as long as they were determined and worked hard, they could definitely do it.

Xia Jin’e still thought Hua Zhi was dreaming, because they didn’t even have food to eat. Hua Zhi took out a Jiaozi from her bosom and gave it to Bao Xia, asking her to buy food for this month, and the rest would be used as monthly wages for the servants.

When everyone was stunned, Hua Zhi continued to say that she would give monthly wages to the ladies in the future.

After that, she turned to Lin Wan and said that she would be in charge of the household for three months first, and if she didn’t do well, she would return the account book to Xia Jin’e in person.

The marriage with the Shen family must be handled as soon as possible. After understanding Huazhi’s attitude, Lin Wan personally took Huazhi to the Shen family to cancel the engagement.

Father Shen thought that the Hua family would talk about the marriage, so he avoided seeing them. So Mrs. Shen met them, never expecting that they came to cancel the engagement, and even wrote an IOU to her for the gifts they had received casually.

After Shen Qi heard this, she limped out and chased him out. Hua Zhi told him that he was the best person and that although they broke off the engagement, they were still friends. Chen Qing reported this matter to Gu Yanxi, and cleverly handed her daughter’s wine back to Qisu Division.

Hua Zhi gave half of it to Wu Yu Niang as wine money and told her that she just figured it out. If she did what she wanted to do and protected the people she wanted to protect, one day she would be truly free and would be able to travel around the world without relying on anyone.

And the entry point for all this was the red fruit made by Fu Dong. After thinking it over, Hua Zhi arranged for the maids to pick the fruit, wash it, remove the core, and boil malt sugar on an assembly line. The plan was easy to implement but difficult to implement.

Most of the maids had never done such rough work, so they began to complain perfunctorily soon. As a result, some of the same batch of red fruits were too sour, too sweet, and of varying quality.

Later, some maids were directly called away by Xia Jin’e to do things and didn’t even have the leisure to make red fruits, so Hua Zhi had to participate in it personally.

Gu Yanxi asked Chen Qing to interrogate all the people of the Hua family and even the side branches who met the age requirements, but still no results were obtained. She still did not find the boy servant who spoke to her.

Gu Yanxi was leading her horse past a red fruit field and unexpectedly saw Hua Zhi picking red fruits. Hua Zhi indirectly told Gu Yanxi about her current situation as the head of the family. While they were talking, Granny Lin, the old woman who managed the forest, came.

Hua Zhi specially gave her some cakes and money and told her to eat well. Gu Yanxi asked about the male servants of the Hua family and was a little disappointed when she learned that none of them were left.

When the maids were processing the red fruits, someone came over and said that the Third Madam had asked them to do something.

Since their indentures were all in the hands of the Third Madam, they dared not disobey. Hua Zhi personally brought food to Lin Wan and said that she wanted to get back the maids’ indentures, and Lin Wan agreed.

Hua Zhi gathered everyone together, and after Xia Jin’e handed the indentures to Hua Zhi in public, Hua Zhi told everyone that she took these indentures to give them freedom, so she directly distributed the indentures to everyone.

After regaining his freedom, Mi Qiu said goodbye to Hua Zhi. Yingchun asked Hua Zhi about her plan, and Hua Zhi told her that she would start a business with her family by selling red fruits, expand the business step by step, and redeem her grandfather.

Without the constraints of the indenture, everyone worked harder and the red fruits they made were also delicious. Seeing this, Xia Jin’e came up with a plan and went to Lin Wan’s room at night with a quilt in her arms.
