Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands Chapter 86 - 086: This Child Is Too Capable

"Both children are my responsibility, and Jingjing is so naughty. When I’m feeding Guoguo, Jingjing climbs up high and falls, runs off to play and hides. I don’t have four eyes, how can I watch both children at the sa ti?" Xue Family began to grumble.

The Princess Consort Luling said sternly, "You are their mother, and the children should mainly be under your care, but they are my grandchildren too. Can I just ignore Jingjing while you’re busy with Guoguo?"

"..."

"Besides, when the Prince and the Princely Heir aren’t too busy, they also play with Jingjing. If you don’t want to take care of the children, then don’t. Go down the mountain and help the Princely Heir build houses!"

Xue Family was so angry she choked, what? She was being told to build houses?

The Princess Consort was too much!

"I... I can’t build houses, I don’t know how."

"Then what can you do?" the Princess Consort Luling said irritably.

Xue Family tightly pressed her lips together and said nothing.

Li Yuzhu stared at Xue Family’s face, her eyes flickered, and she said, "How about this, Sister-in-law, let Mother take care of the two children. You can be responsible for the family’s laundry and cooking, just these two tasks, nothing else."

Put the clothes in water and scrub them a bit, use a stick to pound the dirty water out, wring them dry, and hang them up to dry; it’s very simple.

Cooking porridge isn’t difficult either. Wash the rice clean, put it in a pot with water, and simr it; it’s not too hard.

Wash clothes once a day, prepare three als, and then rest, these two tasks are quite light, Xue Family was fairly satisfied.

"Fine, I’ll do the laundry and cooking, I won’t take care of the children." Xue Family readily agreed.

The Princess Consort Luling was long tired of having Xue Family take care of the children, as there was always an incident when the children were in her hands.

But Xue Family always insisted on taking care of the children.

She couldn’t just take away soone’s right to be a mother and interfere with the mother-child relationship.

This ti Xue Family voluntarily gave up watching the kids, which was exactly what the Princess Consort Luling wished for.

"Alright then, I’ll take care of the two children," the Princess Consort Luling said.

Though she had six children, all raised by nannies.

But she never completely ignored their clothing, food, housing, and travel as they grew up.

She would inquire about the children’s well-being with the nannies every day.

Moreover, all six children were raised by her side until they were five before moving to separate quarters.

She had plenty of experience in raising children.

"That’s settled then," Li Yuzhu said, "Elder Sister and Second Sister, co with to gather dicinal herbs, and while we’re at it, we’ll also dig up so wild vegetables for the family to eat."

Gathering dicinal herbs could earn money, the Great Princess didn’t oppose it.

"I agree." She answered imdiately.

The Second Princess, like a shadow, "I’ll go with Elder Sister."

The Great Princess gave her a glare, always wanting to learn everything!

Li Yuzhu looked at the Second Young Master and Li Xing’an and said, "As for the brothers, in the next few days, help with building houses, and once the houses are finished, the major tasks of the household will be yours."

The Princess Consort Luling was very surprised, how much had her daughter’s nanny taught her?

This child was incredibly capable.

Unfortunately, when the Prince Mansion fell, all the servants were assigned to governnt duties, who knows where they were sent to do hard labor.

The Princess Consort Luling thought about the past, feeling a bit lancholy.

"Let’s go with this plan, tidy up the things and prepare to make dinner." She hugged her grandson Li Jing in her arms and instructed everyone.

There were so many things bought, if they weren’t put in order, they would surely be lost in the future.

Li Yuzhu, not trusting her brothers, ran over to guide them in putting things away.

The hoes and tools were placed leaning against the side of the cave.

Heavier items like rice and flour, which couldn’t be put anywhere damp, were placed on the bottom shelf of the storage rack.
