"Wow~ Wow~"
The baby's cries rang out, and the old woman who had just arrived glanced at it and exclaimed, "Oh dear, I'm too late!"
"What a wasted trip."
Jiang Pozi, whom Jin Yanzhi and Jin Cizhi brought back from Hongxi Village, also paused for a moment.
"It's not too late, it's not too late. We'll need your help later."
Hearing the commotion, Cheng Qiqi came out and immediately invited the two midwives into the house.
After the baby is born, the umbilical cord is cut, and the mother's lochia needs to be cleaned by the midwife.
"Okay, okay."
Jiang Pozi and San Pozi were thinking they had made a wasted trip, but upon hearing this, they happily went into the house. With the help of two midwives, the baby was quickly cleaned and wrapped in a small blanket.
"Runzhi, you have a son."
Wen stood at the doorway, holding the baby in her arms. The newborn infant, rosy-red, was nestled in a small blanket.
"I...I'm a father?"
Jin Runzhi was covered in mud and didn't dare to go forward. He could only crane his neck and stare at the baby in the swaddle. An indescribable emotion filled his heart.
"Isn't it a little ugly, being so small?"
Jin Yanzhi also craned his neck to look over, and before he could finish speaking, Marquis Zhongyong slapped him across the face.
The Marquis of Zhongyong's strength was so great that Jin Yanzhi staggered and fell to the side in pain.
"Jin Yanzhi, all newborns are like this, they'll be fine in a few days. If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"
Marquis Zhongyong glared at Jin Yanzhi with his copper bell-like eyes, thinking, "That brat deserves a beating."
"Not ugly, not ugly at all, looks like Runzhi. Look at his nose and eyes." Jin Yanzhi covered the shoulder that had been patted. After running all night on the mountain road, he simply sat down on the ground.
"Third brother, Yanzhi doesn't have bad intentions, he's just not very bright."
Marquis Zhongyong looked at Third Master Jin and explained.
"He's just a young boy who's never been a father, so naturally he wouldn't understand."
When Master Jin got a grandson, his eyes narrowed with laughter. He wasn't angry at all when he saw Jin Yanzhi, covered in mud, bringing over the midwife.
"I……"
Jin Yanzhi wanted to say that he was no longer a young boy, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his father glared at him, and he immediately fell silent.
"Third brother, you're right. He's just a young boy who doesn't know anything. This kid is lucky. Look, the rain has stopped."
The words of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor drew everyone's attention to the outside.
It rained all night, and as the sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn, the baby was born, and the rain stopped.
"Okay, okay!"
Jin Laosan was so excited his eyes almost disappeared; his eldest grandson was sure to amount to something.
"Thank you all for your hard work today. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
Jin Laosan said happily, looking at the Jin family and the village head's family of three, who had also stayed up all night. Jin Laosan said, "Village head, Aunt Tian, I'll treat you to meat another day!"
Congratulations!
The village head said with a smile, "With our grandson, life will only get better and better. We'll head back now."
Zhuang Lizheng took Tian Shi and Zhuang Haichao back.
Jin Xue'er and Jin Qing'er were hiding in the kitchen cooking porridge. Jin Qing'er whispered, "Xue'er, he's been staring at the kitchen the whole time!"
He was referring to Zhuang Haichao, of course.
"Never mind him."
Jin Xue'er lowered her eyes. Ever since she figured things out, she realized that the days she spent with her stepmother were a bit foolish.
The young lady has always wanted to compete with Madam Liu Suyi, but what can she do?
Liu Suyi never... took the young lady seriously.
The young woman whispered in her ear how good the Zhuang family was, and that they were also the village head. She understood that the young woman was only after the Zhuang family's dowry, which she believed would allow her to live a good life.
She didn't care. Her father said that as long as she didn't want to get married, no one could marry her off!
After seeing off the Zhuang family of three, Third Master Jin, along with his son Jin Runzhi, thanked everyone in turn, especially Jin Yanzhi and Chongshan.
"Eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, thank you all today!"
"Thank you, Uncle, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle."
Jin Runzhi knelt down to express his gratitude to everyone, but was forcibly pulled up by Marquis Zhongyong: "We're all family. If we don't unite as one now, no one can defeat us!"
The words of the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage struck a chord in the hearts of every member of the Jin family. On this night of torrential rain, everyone had only one thought in their minds: the Jin family, united as one!
Cheng Qiqi also received Wen's thanks. She said, "Third Aunt, I didn't do anything. But the ginseng rootlets were from Heitu."
Cheng Qiqi would not keep the matter of ginseng a secret.
"Thank you, you really need to thank me properly."
Mrs. Wen was overjoyed to have a grandson and become a grandmother.
Although the midwives weren't needed to deliver the babies, they did a good job afterwards. Jin Runzhi wasn't stingy either; he gave each of the two midwives fifty coins.
Not many, but definitely not few either.
The porridge was cooking in the pot, served with pickled cabbage made by Cheng Qiqi, and it received unanimous praise from everyone.
"I heard that Madam Cheng is a widow?"
After Jiang Pozi finished eating and drinking, she stared at Cheng Qiqi's face, pulled Cheng Qiqi aside, and whispered, "There are quite a few young men in Hongxi Village, some married and some not. Do you have any ideas?"
"What are your thoughts?"
Cheng Qiqi thought she was being asked about childbirth, and was caught off guard by Jiang Pozi's words.
"Remarry."
Granny Jiang looked at Cheng Qiqi with exasperation: "You're still young, you look like you're not even twenty yet, are you going to stay a widow for the rest of your life?"
"Jiang Li, Qiqi is from our Guihua Village, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Granny San immediately rushed forward and said, "Qiqi, if you really want to get married, I have three sons. The two younger ones are not married yet; they work in the sugar mill, Ershun and Sanshun."
"Hey, you surnamed Mei, who would even want your two sons?"
Upon hearing this, Granny Jiang was immediately convinced, and the two midwives were about to fight over each other.
Who is she?
Where is she?
Cheng Qiqi was completely bewildered and didn't even realize what was happening.
Jin Yanzhi stormed over, furious. Having eaten and drunk his fill, he was about to go to sleep when he heard this. Enraged, he jumped over the wall and yelled at Granny Jiang and Granny San, "Are you two out of your minds? My sister-in-law? How dare your son even think of her?"
Jin Yanzhi has a loud voice, so he heard everything!
"You must be Madam Cheng's brother-in-law, right? Don't think I'm being mean, but Madam Cheng is young and beautiful, and she'll get married eventually."
Jiang Pozi wasn't embarrassed at all. She looked at Cheng Qiqi and said, "Madam Cheng, if you don't like my son, there are plenty of other young men in our village."
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Jin Yanzhi took a step forward and walked towards Granny Jiang: "What business is it of yours whether my sister-in-law gets married or not?"
"Hey, feed."
Seeing Jin Yanzhi charging towards her like a bull, Granny Jiang retreated several steps, staring at his face and saying, "You wouldn't be thinking of making a move on your sister-in-law, would you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Jiang glanced at Cheng Qiqi, who was being shielded behind her. Her tall figure contrasted sharply with Cheng Qiqi's petite frame.
