Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

The summer wind is mixed with a hint of dryness, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. At noon, the streets are sparsely populated, with only two or three poor people carrying sacks passing by, covered in sweat. Their skin is tanned by the scorching sun.

But as the head of a family, no matter how tired you are, you still have to carry heavy loads on your shoulders. After all, this is the only extra income besides farming. Carrying sacks for a day can earn about 15 Wen. In the good weather of Spring and Autumn, you can earn at most Just earn 10 yuan.

Prices are higher in summer and winter.

After all, one is too hot and the other is too cold, and there are few people to do it. If there is a shortage of people, the price of hiring people will be high.

What you earn is really hard money.

"Brother Li, when do you think it will rain today? It hasn't rained since June. There won't be a drought this year, right? The sun is still so harsh, and the crops in the fields have all withered."

"Hey, who knows, hurry up and carry the sacks. Take advantage of the hot weather to earn more money and buy enough food. Even if there is a drought, we are not afraid. We men can't starve our families even if we exhaust ourselves."

Two casual workers were chatting about the weather as they passed through the door of Yan's pastry shop.

The sound reached Yan Xia's ears.

Many days have passed since she came back.

Today is July 18th.

It stands to reason that Xiaohe should start at the age of fifteen.

But it was three full days late, and she still showed no sign of giving birth.

Yan Xia was a little worried. Premature birth was not good, but late birth was even worse. If the baby stayed in the belly for one more day, the risk would double.

If Xiao He's water hasn't broken by tomorrow morning, she will let Xiao He drink the birth-stimulating soup immediately.

Of course, if you can't drink it, don't drink it.

It is a three-part drug that is poisonous and can cause great harm to the mother's body by inducing labor.

Yan Xia came down from the second floor of the shop with a worried expression.

"Chang Lu, you've been taking care of the two shops these days. Your eldest brother is staying at home with Xiao He, and my mother doesn't have much time to take care of the shops. You should cheer up and don't make any mistakes. Do you understand?"

"Mom, don't worry. My son is not stupid. Mom, please go back and accompany your sister-in-law. Don't worry about me." Chang Lu patted his chest and said to Yan Xia.

"Well, Mom is really worried about your sister-in-law, that's all. I'll go and hire a doctor to live in the house first, in case your sister-in-law has an emergency and gets messed up. Okay, you can get busy first, Mom is leaving."

Yan Xia left the shop and went to the best medical clinic in town and hired a white-haired old doctor.

The older you get, the more popular you are in this industry.

Even she herself is not immune. She always feels that the older she is, the more experience she has and her medical skills are getting better and better with time.

It took ten taels to make the old doctor willing to live in her house.

"Madam, please wait a moment. I will bring the medicinal materials first. Xiao Fuzi, take atractylodes, platycodon, tangerine peel, angelica dahurica, licorice, cinnamon... Oh, that's all, I can do it myself, you idiot. You can’t even recognize all the words, what kind of medicine is that, so you just grab it blindly. From now on, you will go to the backyard to guard the medicine jar, and then come back to the front after you have memorized all the names of the medicine."

The old doctor hit his apprentice Xiao Fuzi hard on the head.

"Hey, master, stop beating me, or you'll make me even dumber." Xiao Fuzi covered his head and grinned.

"Go quickly! Pack up my clothes first. If you hadn't seen you alone and helpless, I would have really wanted to kick you out——"

Although the old doctor's words were a bit harsh, his tone was not harsh.

Xiao Fuzi went to help him pack his clothes with a playful smile, not unhappy at all.

"I made you laugh. A young apprentice has made too many mistakes in his work. Don't worry, I will catch this medicine myself. Madam, please sit down and rest for a while, drink some tea and wait."

Yan Xia nodded.

After watching a play in which a master educates an apprentice, her nervousness eased a lot.

The doctor is kind.

Being able to take in an orphan and teach him a skill so that he can rely on medical skills to support himself in the future, it can be seen that this old doctor is definitely a person with great kindness.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a person to fish than to teach him to fish, and to give him money and food is nothing more than showing mercy.

Helping these poor people change their current environment so that they can be self-reliant and have the ability to survive is a great kindness.

Yan Xia suddenly had some insights. Just as she was thinking, the old doctor was already standing in front of her with another apprentice.

"Madam, let's go, Xu'er, get the medicinal materials and the teacher's clothes."

It seems that this apprentice is his assistant.

Yan Xia thought.

She didn't ask any more questions and led the two of them home.

As soon as we arrived at the door of our house, the situation suddenly changed. Ten minutes later, dark clouds gathered.

"Crash-"

The rain fell like a torrent.

He drank it straight down.

Fortunately, Yan Xia had already brought the old doctor to her daughter-in-law's house.

She planned to let the doctor check Xiaohe's pulse first.

The two stable wives we hired earlier had already moved in at the beginning of July.

They are Lu and Jia respectively.

The two of them stood on both sides of the beauty's couch, one on the left and the other on the right, guarding Xiao He.

It looks very much like the stone lion placed at the gate.

The eldest son Chang Fu also held his daughter-in-law's hand and sat with her on the beauty's couch.

"hiss--"

"Mom, I, my stomach hurts——"

As soon as the doctor put his hand on her to check her pulse, Xiao He frowned and called Yan Xia.

The voice was slightly crying.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mom is here. Doctor, please take a look, is my daughter-in-law going to give birth?"

Before the doctor could speak, the two stable women said first: "Oh, the water has broken. Hurry, help her to the bed. Shopkeeper Yan, could you please ask the maids to boil the water, boil more, and there is too much room in the delivery room." It's bloody, there's no reason for a man to enter the delivery room, please Master Yan, the doctor, you guys are waiting outside, please go out, as long as we are here."

The two stable women wanted to drive the others out.

But except for the old doctor and his apprentice who went out first to avoid suspicion, Yan Xia and Chang Fu didn't even move.

"Chang Fu, take Xiao He to the bed. Be careful and gentle. Lu and Jia, our family doesn't have these rules, so just let my son stay in the delivery room. Chang Fu, just stay by the bed. Xiao He, otherwise she will be scared, everyone else, come out with me and I will tell you something."

Lu and Jia were stunned when they heard this.

They have delivered so many women, but they have never seen one take the initiative to let their son stay in the delivery room.

After all, a woman's delivery room is unlucky to the world.

How can a man be contaminated with bad luck?

But after all, this was someone else's business, and they had no right to care about it. After Yan Xia went out, the two stable ladies went to clean the bed.

"You guys go boil some water and bring it to the house after a while. You go and cut some white cloth. It will be used in the delivery room later. Remember to pick soft cloth. And the three of you, go get a pair of scissors, wash them and put them in the hot pot. The wine is soaking in the wine and will be brought to you later. As for the two of you, make a pot of old hen soup and give it to Xiaohe to drink after she has given birth. You can also keep watch over the medicine jar. If the doctor wants to boil medicine, you are responsible for guarding the medicine jar. Do you know?"
