“Just admit it. Women’s physical strength and endurance aren’t as good as men’s, so don’t waste your energy trying to form a female soldier squad.” Yang Zepeng spoke proudly.
“Hmph, just wait and see. If the North can do it, so can I.” Mingyu huffed indignantly.
“Actually, fighting doesn’t necessarily rely on physical strength. If you know how to use a pound to deflect a thousand, even a small amount of strength can make a difference.” Zhou Ying spoke up.
“A pound of strength?” Mingyu lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
“Just like the scale we usually use, a small scale with a counterweight can weigh up to two hundred pounds.”
Yang Zepeng looked at Zhou Ying thoughtfully.
At this moment, someone came over and told them it was time for lunch.
The group of people left the training grounds. Because Madam Consort An had not woken up, it was just Consort An accompanying them for lunch.
Lunch was simple, just four dishes, one soup, and a main course.
After the meal, Mingyu confirmed the housewarming party that would be held in two days, sparred with Zhou Ying, and left. The couple and Yang Wanning also left soon after
After sending Yang Wanning and her servant to the entrance of the Yang residence, the couple turned around and returned home.
Gu Chengrui rested for a while before taking some snacks and going to the academy to look for a doctor.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying looked for Qiu Niang. After confirming that she had transferred all the servants she had just bought under her name, she kept their indentured contracts safe.
She asked, “Mother Qiu, have they settled down?”
“Yeah, I’ve already given them what they lacked.
“Their clothes are custom-made according to the color you determined. It will probably be delivered in three days.”
“Okay, you and Uncle Zhou help me keep an eye on them. Let me know if there are any dishonest ones, and I will chase them away.”
“I understand.” Mother Qiu then asked, “Oh, right, there are only two maids. Do you want to buy a few more?”
“There’s still a shortage of food, so let’s hold off for the time being.”
“That’s true.” Mother Qiu nodded silently when she heard about food issues.
After Qiu Niang left, Zhou Ying called the two maids who were on duty in the courtyard over and asked, “Do you two have family members?”
“In the midst of a previous disastrous year, my family was sold into a death contract. So, having a family is the same as not having a family. 1 don’t even know if they’re still alive.” The maid who could cook responded.
“Remember, if you encounter them in the future, you’re not allowed to do anything in the name of the residence.” Zhou Ying nodded and warned her.
“Of course, you can tell me if you really have any difficulties. I’ll help you.”
“Yes. I will remember this.”
“You can change your name to Kuihua from now on. It represents a sunflower born in the sun. 1 hope you will be free from illness and disaster for the rest of your life and never live in the shadows.” Zhou Ying gave her a name and looked at the other maid, who knew martial arts.
“Madam, I have been performing in an aerobatics circus since 1 was young. Later on, the master died, and we were forced to disperse. Finally, in order to survive, 1 had to sell myself as a servant.”
“Why didn’t you find someone to marry back then? Isn’t it better than being a servant?”
“I, I, when I was practicing aerobatics, I was injured and will never be able to give birth for the rest of my life, so…” At this point, she lifted her shirt.
Zhou Ying saw the two scars on her belly and asked in surprise, “How did you get injured?”
“I fell onto a blade.”
“Have you ever worked at a residence before?” Zhou Ying nodded and asked.
“I did, but because I have a big appetite, so, so 1 was sent back.”
Zhou Ying looked at her robust body and nodded. “From now on, you’ll be called Shizhu.
“It represents the carnation flower, a flower with the strongest vitality. 1 hope you can continue to live strong.
“As long as you’re loyal, we’ll be responsible for your retirement..”
