Chapter 347 Production
Su Chengmin ignored the Wu family's obstruction and ran to the upper room to rummage around, and took out fifty taels of silver and put it in his arms.
She then took out two ginsengs and a box of brown sugar and held them in her hands, cursing, "Your daughter-in-law has already given birth to a child, and you are reluctant to take out the ginseng. Aunt Tong, which god did your niece offend in her previous life to marry into such a black-hearted and rotten family."
When Qiao saw the people brought by Tong Huaqiong taking out her best things like locusts, she felt very happy.
He was so angry that he was shaking. He said angrily, "My daughter-in-law is giving birth and you come to disturb her. If you know you are a village chief, people who don't know you would think you are a bandit. Is there any justice in the world for a village chief to bully others by taking advantage of his power?"
Tong Huaqiong said: "It's just bullying, go ahead and sue me."
"Push harder, you have to push harder."
Tong Huaqiong was waiting anxiously at the door of the delivery room. She had never given birth in her previous two lives, so it was a painless experience for her to be a mother.
Just now, Wengpo Cai said that the head was about to come out, so she thought the baby would come out soon.
Now hearing Tong Pandyi crying so miserably, Cai Wenpo kept cheering her on. She really didn’t know how long it would take for the baby to be born safely.
"You black-hearted rotten seed! You haven't eaten for a whole day. How can you have the strength to give birth to a baby?" Cai Wenpo started scolding.
Mrs. Hong hurriedly poured the ginseng soup into a bowl and brought it to the delivery room. Midwife Cai took it and fed it to Tong Pan's brother. She also took out a Cui Dan life-saving pill and pressed it under Tong Pan's tongue.
Tong Pandi felt that he had strength again.
"How shameless! No matter how poor the family is, they will buy a chicken to nourish the body when the daughter-in-law gives birth. This is the first time I've seen a daughter-in-law giving birth and the kitchen is empty." Mrs. Hong cursed after serving the ginseng soup.
"There are quite a few chickens in the chicken coop, just kill one."
Su Chengmin walked around the yard, ran to the chicken coop, slaughtered six old hens and jumped out.
Six are not a lot, they are for the mother who has just given birth, and they also have to eat after a whole day's journey.
Back in the kitchen, Hong boiled some water and started plucking the chicken feathers to make chicken soup.
Su Chengmin said, "Aunt Hong, stew more. It's too cold. Let's all drink some chicken soup to warm ourselves up."
Qiao and Wu Ren were almost fainted with anger.
Wu Musheng was so frightened that he dared not speak.
Tong Da Jiao's behavior is not that of a country girl at all; it's no different from that of a gangster.
Why didn't Prefect Yao kill her when he was suppressing the bandits?
Tong Pandi's daughter Duo'er came to Tong Huaqiong with tears in her eyes and cried, "Auntie."
Although the child didn't know what was going on, she knew that her aunt was on her mother's side.
Then my aunt is a good person.
Poor thing, this is Tong Pandi’s eldest daughter.
This character almost does not exist in Tong Dajiao's memory. According to the miserable life Tong Panddi lived in the Wu family in her previous life, this girl is probably not much better.
Tong Huaqiong felt compassion for her, touched her head, and said kindly, "Your mother and your sister are fine."
Qiao became even more angry after hearing this.
Is this a curse that the Wu family will have no descendants?
Duoer shook her head and said, "It's a younger brother. Grandpa, grandma and dad will be happy only if mom gives birth to a younger brother."
Tong Huaqiong said, "You are just listening to their bullshit. Men and women from families with evil hearts and rotten seeds don't want to be reborn. For someone like Duo'er to be reborn into their family is a blessing from their ancestors."
Wu Ren was so angry that his beard was about to blow up. He said with a stiff face: "Xiang Jun, let's talk about the matter. Why are you cursing my descendants?"
Tong Huaqiong raised his voice and asked, "How can a family like you who took advantage of a woman giving birth to commit crimes be worthy of having children?"
Wu Ren and Qiao were too guilty to speak.
After Su Chengmin helped Hong throw the chicken into the pot, he went out for a walk on the snow.
He grabbed an old man who was selling charcoal and said, "Brother, please go to the county and report a case. Just say that the midwife of the village head wanted to harm the village head's daughter-in-law and has been detained."
Without waiting for the charcoal seller to refuse, she took out a gold hairpin and a gold bracelet that she had touched and handed them to him, saying, "I'll give you the gold hairpin in exchange for your cart of charcoal, and the gold bracelet is your reward."
The charcoal seller's eyes were shining and his face was hesitant. Su Chengmin gave him a reassurance: "When you get to the county, just say it was Suifeng Township Lord who reported the case."
The charcoal seller left quickly, holding the gold hairpin and gold bracelet.
He often went from street to street selling charcoal, so he naturally knew the name of Suifeng Xiangjun. He was not someone to be trifled with, but since Suifeng Xiangjun was protecting him, he had nothing to fear.
He planned to melt the gold hairpin and gold bracelet after reporting the case to the authorities and then exchange them for silver bills. He would then rent a shop and never do business in the snow again.
Su Chengmin walked on the snow to Tong Huaqiong and whispered a few words to her. Tong Huaqiong looked at Su Chengmin approvingly.
Tong Huaqiong was thankful again that she had brought Su Chengmin with her, as he handled the matter better than her stepson Gu Dahan.
Su Chengmin blocked Ma Wenpo's mouth and threw her into the woodshed, then went into the kitchen to light a fire for Hong.
Tong Huaqiong sat at the door of the delivery room with a dignified manner.
The Wu Ren couple and Wu Musheng paced back and forth in the corridor, seemingly worried about Tong Pandi, but in fact they were secretly praying that the son would live and the mother would die.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the smell of fragrant chicken soup wafted from the kitchen.
Tong Pandi’s shouting became louder and louder.
It was completely dark, and at Tong Huaqiong's request, the Wu family turned on the lights.
Hong and Su Chengmin were waiting with Tong Huaqiong.
Following a broken scream, a loud baby cry was heard.
Tong Huaqiong's back was soaked, as if she had accompanied Tong Pandi through the gates of hell.
"Boy or girl?" Qiao rushed to the door of the delivery room but was stopped by Tong Huaqiong.
"Congratulations, my dear. It's a daughter. Look at the voice and the strength of her crying. It's obvious that the child is as blessed as you, my dear." Cai Wenpo said happily.
"Did I see it wrong? Don't they say a pointed belly means a son?" Wu Musheng blurted out, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.
Wu Ren and Qiao were also disappointed.
"I'm blind and can't tell the gender of the child? This young man is the father of the child, right? You are really funny. Your wife worked so hard to give birth to a daughter for you, but you didn't say a word of concern. Instead, you care about whether it is a son." Cai Wenpo retorted angrily.
Cai Wenpo wrapped the baby in the red silk that Su Chengmin brought, wrapped it outside the quilt and handed it to Tong Huaqiong to look at.
Just like in the previous life, Tong Pandi's second child is still a daughter. The difference from the previous life is that this daughter will be able to survive under the protection of Tong Huaqiong.
"Okay, okay! How is my niece?" Tong Huaqiong hugged the baby and showed concern for Tong Pandi's situation.
"Don't worry, my dear, both mother and daughter are safe." Cai Wenpo said happily, "The ginseng and life-saving pills you brought are effective. Although the mother is weak after giving birth, she has been awake the whole time."
Tong Huaqiong handed the child to Cai Wenpo with confidence.
Before Cai Wenpo took the child back to her room, she glanced at Wu Ren and Qiao and said sarcastically, "I have lived half my life, and the midwives would reward me if they knew that both the child and the mother were safe. This is the first time I have seen such a person look unhappy when they heard that the mother was safe."
Tong Huaqiong thought that Cai Wenpo was also a wonderful person.
Wu Ren and Qiao's faces, which were already unhappy because Tong Pandidi gave birth to a daughter, became even uglier.
