Chapter 828: Chapter 831: The Bear Has Ample Food Stores
"Madam, nursing your child yourself will affect your figure, it’s better to let a wet nurse feed him," the Tooth Granny reminded, glancing at Tan Zhenghong.
Men first look at a woman’s face, then her figure—both are indispensable.
If nursing ruins your figure, won’t that just give other women an opportunity? 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Tan Zhenghong was covered in black lines, he certainly wasn’t that kind of man without a conscience!
Qiao Duo’er shook her head, "Compared to the impact of childbirth on one’s figure, breastfeeding is nothing."
And when it comes to keeping one’s figure in shape, exercise and maintenance are much more important.
Not giving up, the Tooth Granny said, "I can see this gentleman is of status, Madam, you really should be careful. When a woman is indisposed, it’s when a man is most likely to stray."
"If he has that intention, I can’t stop him," Qiao Duo’er said with a stern face.
Seeing Duo’er’s impatience, the Tooth Granny could only give up, "Spring Seedling, you make the decision yourself."
Spring Seedling hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.
There is a fundamental difference between a wet nurse and a maid. Besides nursing, a wet nurse takes care of the child, almost becoming like the child’s mother, and thus holds a much higher status than a maid.
Many wealthy families, to ensure their child is well-fed, will take great care of the wet nurse, providing food that hardly differs from what the masters eat.
As a maid, one wouldn’t be well-fed or clothed, and there would always be endless chores to do.
Constant toil, along with bearing and raising children, had taken its toll on her health, and she just wanted to find a place where she could recuperate properly.
Qiao Duo’er wasn’t insistent, "Then I’ll look elsewhere."
It’s easy for problems to arise if people are brought in against their will.
"Don’t go, we have others, please take a look!" the Tooth Granny quickly called out.
The other two had given birth more than half a year ago, so by the time Spring Seedling would have a child, the wet nurse’s milk would already have become thin, unable to satisfy the needs of a newborn, so Qiao Duo’er hadn’t even considered them.
The old face of the Tooth Granny fell, a stark contrast to her previous enthusiasm.
Feeling repulsed, Qiao Duo’er silently vowed to never return to this place.
She visited two more houses, and the situation was much the same.
Either they were not suitable, or the people there were unwilling to become maids.
"Wife, you have large breasts, you won’t lack milk," Tan Zhenghong’s eyes wandered uncontrollably.
His wife was already buxom, and pregnancy had only amplified her curves significantly, much more than before.
Such a magnificent granary, how could it be devoid of any grain?
Qiao Duo’er glared at Tan Zhenghong, and then nodded her head, "What you said seems quite reasonable; I won’t hit you for now."
If it really came down to it, she would have to trouble Ling’er to act as a temporary wet nurse.
"So, we’re not getting a wet nurse?" Tan Zhenghong sought confirmation again.
Qiao Duo’er pondered for a moment before nodding her head, "Keep an eye out, and if you find someone suitable, we’ll have one ready. This way, it’s both reassuring and convenient."
"Okay!" Tan Zhenghong agreed without hesitation.
After that, Qiao Duo’er went to the Cloth Shop with Tan Zhenghong.
Before this, Qiao Duo’er had already decided on the fabrics to purchase, so she listed them all at once.
"Wife, let’s just buy ready-made baby clothes, don’t tire yourself out," Tan Zhenghong said affectionately.
He understood that his wife intended to have the child wear clothes she made personally.
"How can bought items ever match what a mother makes? Don’t worry about it. I’ll just stitch a few here and there when I’m bored, I definitely won’t overexert myself," Qiao Duo’er said, her eyes curved and filled with the gentleness of an expectant mother.
Tan Zhenghong didn’t have the heart to object, only wishing to watch over her more in the future, ensuring she rested well.
