Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11747

That evening, Liu and Kang returned from town together.

Just then, Yang Ruoqing brought her mother to the neighbor's yard. Her mother was feeding the baby inside the house; this was the third meal of the day.

Two hours later, before going to bed, Nai Ma will come over again to feed the baby.

Four meals a day is already the maximum amount of care they can provide.

Because this kid drinks a lot each time, four meals are about right.

"Qing'er, thank you so much! You saved this child's life this time. He'er can't feed him and is so anxious that she's crying. Poor thing, she's lost her tongue and can't even speak. Oh!"

"Fourth Aunt, if you want to thank someone, thank Grandma. She makes four trips a day and works very hard."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go thank her right away!"

Liu came into the house excitedly and thanked her mother repeatedly.

The woman looked up at Liu and said with a smile, "No need to thank me. I helped the child not because of you, but because of Madam's instructions. I took the money Madam gave me!"

Upon seeing her mother's appearance, Liu immediately realized why the other woman had spoken to her in such a harsh tone.

Behind them, Yang Ruoqing and Liu Jinchuan also heard that their good-tempered and amiable mother was responding to Liu's thanks in such a stiff tone.

They exchanged a glance, and both saw the same guess in each other's eyes.

Needless to say, it was definitely because Liu was keeping He'er company in Lijia Village that she was always busy, her legs never idle and her mouth never shut up. She was always talking nonsense and asking about gossip, and she didn't know how to keep her mouth shut, so she offended He'er's mother...

For Liu, such things were commonplace and nothing to be surprised about.

"What, did you two have a conflict before?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.

She really liked this woman, Nai Ma. She was very diligent and clean at the Luo family's house, and always kept herself and her room very tidy.

She was very particular about how she treated Nini, whether it was feeding her or holding her, unlike those uncouth country women who were careless.

When holding a child, I never hold them face-to-face at close range. I always hold them from behind or place them in the crook of my arm, maintaining a suitable distance between us.

As for Fourth Aunt, she was Yang Ruoqing's elder, and they often chatted together. So, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but ask a few questions about the grudges between the two of them.

Nai Ma said, "Madam, there was no holiday. We just chatted a couple of times."

Mrs. Liu smiled awkwardly and echoed the old woman's words, "Yes, yes, we talked a couple of times in Lijia Village. She's a nice person, a good person, a really good person, and she's clean and tidy. It's perfect that she's here to help our little one feed his baby..."

Despite Liu's overtures, Nai Ma wasn't particularly appreciative. She didn't engage in further verbal sparring with Liu, but instead bowed to Yang Ruoqing, sat back down with the baby in her arms, and began feeding the infant diligently…

Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing said to Liu, "Fourth Aunt, let the baby eat first. Let's go outside and sit for a while. Also, Fourth Aunt, you just came back from town and you look travel-worn. Go take a shower and change your clothes. I guess the baby has eaten enough, so you can take over holding him now."

Liu was probably genuinely frightened this time. Perhaps half of it was because she was afraid of being beaten and scolded by Yang Huaming. Or perhaps seeing He'er suffering in the clinic awakened her maternal love. Or maybe it was because Kang had also confided in her. And then, when she returned and saw that the baby was premature and couldn't be raised by its mother and had to rely on others for milk...

All her emotions were mixed together, so after Liu returned from this trip, Yang Ruoqing felt that Liu's temper had improved a bit and she had become easier to talk to.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Every day, the people of Changping Village can see an interesting phenomenon: Grandma Nai makes several trips back and forth to deliver grain to the neighbor's yard.

The villagers were all talking about this. Everyone learned from this incident that undercooked green beans should never be eaten, as they can cause poisoning, just like He'er, who almost lost her life along with her unborn child.

Furthermore, everyone has to sigh once again that it's really good to have a powerful maternal family like the Yang family. Even if the child is born two months premature, as long as they are sent to the maternal family, they can still have milk to drink and survive.

If this had happened in an ordinary family, I'm afraid that both mother and child would be in grave danger right now.

……

"You know what, this little guy's face has gotten rounder after just five days! Don't you guys think so?"

That day, Yang Ruoqing, Cao Bamei, Sun Shi and others came to visit the baby in the fourth house next door. Cao Bamei looked at the child's face and felt that he had obviously gained weight.

Yang Ruoqing couldn't tell because she saw it every day.

However, Cao Bamei and Sun Shi did not do it that frequently, so it was easy to spot at a glance.

Ms. Liu was very happy and felt a great sense of accomplishment about this.

"This baby is incredibly lucky; he survived being born two months premature..."

"Fourth sister-in-law, keep these words to yourself, don't say them out loud!" The person who said this was naturally Madam Sun, who was very particular about these old customs.

Liu chuckled, "I'm just happy! In the end, it's all thanks to Qing'er and Grandma. By the way, Grandma, how about we let this child become your godmother?"

Nai Ma didn't want to, her disdain was practically written all over her face.

Yang Ruoqing once again smoothed things over and changed the subject.

"Fourth sister-in-law, how is He'er doing? When did the doctor say she could return to the village?" Sun asked again.

Liu said, "It'll be soon. We were supposed to go back to the village today, but Li Lao Er is busy and worried. He insists that He'er stay at the clinic for two more days to observe her and be on the safe side."

"There's nothing I can do. My little one won't be able to see his parents for another couple of days..."

"Fourth sister-in-law, Li Lao Er is so considerate and thoughtful. He's so good to He'er. It's good for her to stay a couple more days. We've already waited for five days, so why can't we wait for the next two?"

“That’s right, Fourth Aunt, you should praise Li Lao Er. It shows that he is a husband who cares about his wife,” Cao Bamei said. “Unlike some men who only care about their children, especially their sons, and don’t care about their wives’ lives.”

Mrs. Liu nodded. "That's true. There are some men who not only don't care about their wives, but they also don't care about their own children. I've met people like that..."

When Liu was in Lijia Village, she chatted with the women around the house and heard many strange things, which is why she made this statement.

As it turned out, this remark was quite something. The speaker didn't mean anything by it, but the listener took it to heart. Cao Bamei's smile immediately turned cold, and she was completely out of sorts!
Because the kind of man Liu was talking about, their second wife ended up with!

Li Wei!

Not to mention that Xiuxiu has never seen Li Wei since giving birth, even Yongxiao, who is all grown up and running around, doesn't know who his biological father is!
