Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Another month passed, and a vegetable shop couldn't survive and closed down. There are also two shops in Reading that have closed their shops on Wangjie and opened them in residential areas where residents gather. Only her second aunt and her family were still holding on to Wangpu.

Next door to the second aunt's vegetable shop is her own oil shop. Customers who come to her house to buy oil still go to her vegetable shop to take a look around.

As for the two stores that were opened in residential areas, Su Qingyu went to see them, and there was some business there.

The business of the vegetable shop is a small business. You can't make big money, but you can still make some small money. You can't make money just selling vegetables, but you still have to sell meat, eggs and fruits. You can still make a profit of one or two taels a day.

The vegetables in Su Qing's store are average, with no loss and little profit. The profits from eggs are also thin, and the most important thing is to rely on meat stalls, raw and cooked meat. There is also some business in kimchi, pickles, and pickles, but the biggest income is from fruits.

Of course, this is only superficial. The goods she sells to Xu Shaoyan every month are her biggest source of income.

Su Dahu, Su's father and Zhou Dajiang recovered a lot of delicacies from far away places. She took Granny Zhou and others to make dried vegetables, and the dried mushrooms were sold at a very good price.

She keeps these things tightly under wraps and doesn't sell them in stores, nor does she sell them to Pingchuan County or Quang Ninh Prefecture at all. Nowadays, everyone's ability to imitate is too strong, and she can't let others imitate them.

For some leafy vegetables that could not be made into dried vegetables, she sold them to the system and replaced them with some medicine that would help the growth and development of the fetus. As for the vegetables and fruits that don't look good, they are stuffed into their own mouths, or they are made into jam and preserved fruits. Qingyang, Qingxing and Yaya like to eat them the most. They eat preserved fruits as snacks, mix the jam with water and drink it. Love to dip it in too.

So no leftovers in the store are wasted.

As for the Zhuangzi that Xu Shaoyan transferred to her, she had a big belly and couldn't go out. She asked Su's father to see her, but she only said that someone else had entrusted her to take care of her. Her honest father didn't ask any questions. He lived alone on the farm for more than half a month, instructing the tenants and farm servants to plow the ground and plant winter vegetables and wheat before returning.

Su Qingnao didn't even care at all.

The days just slipped into winter.

Su Qingnao had a big belly, and she looked more like a bear when wrapped up. She moved clumsily and rarely went to the front store, so she made dried vegetables and fruits in the backyard with Granny Zhou.

Everyone didn't let her go to the front store for fear that she would accidentally slip. In the backyard, Granny Zhou and others did not let her do anything. She mostly sat and watched, occasionally giving some advice.

On this day, Su Qingnao saw Xiao Qingxing holding Yaya in the backyard. It was very rare to see her in broad daylight. Usually, the two little ones go to the martial arts hall early in the morning and don't return until sunset. Didn't you go out today?

The two little things were sitting on the bench leaning against each other, both looking a little wilted. Su Qingyu went over to tease them and then found out that Ma Shiniang was ill.

"Ah? Why are you sick? When did it happen?"

"As soon as winter comes, Master's wife's health is getting worse and she keeps coughing. Today, Brother Xiaodouzi came over and asked us not to go there. Master's wife is afraid that we are over sick."

Always coughing?

"Have you asked the doctor to take a look at it?"

"Please, Master Ma has invited doctors from the county and Guangning Prefecture to see what's wrong."

"Why didn't you tell your sister? You can go and see her."

"My wife won't let me talk. She said that my sister is pregnant and I don't want her to worry about it."

Su Qingyu felt a little sad after hearing this. She was a beautiful, kind and tolerant woman. Life had gone through her hard and she should be happy for the rest of her life.

Su Qingyao lowered her head and saw Yaya looking up at her. She smiled and stroked her head: "Does Yaya miss Master Ma too?"

The little thing nodded seriously: "I want to. Go and see." He pointed outside.

"Okay, aunt will take you to see it in two days, okay?"

"Okay. Eat the fruit." After saying that, he struggled to leave Xiao Qingxing's arms and ran towards the front store.

Xiao Qingxing quickly got up and chased after him. Su Qingyu smiled. The little thing must have gone to the front store to get some fruit and wanted to hide it and bring it to Ma Shiniang.

Children know good and evil best, and they will remember whoever treats them best.

Two days later, Su Qingnao took the cooked Qiuli ointment and Su Qingliu Qingxing Yaya to the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall.

When I went there, I discovered that after not seeing each other for a short period of time, Master Ma's face was as dry as a piece of paper. She was lying on the bed without any makeup. When she saw them coming, she couldn't get up and had to rely on Master Ma's support.

Master Ma stared at her intently, with deep sadness in his eyes.

Master Ma only glanced at Qingxing and Yaya from a distance before letting them go out. Master Ma nodded to Su Qingyu and went out. Su Qingyu glanced at him and saw that he was much thinner, his eye sockets were sunken, and his whole person became more serious and intimidating.

"I have to ask you to stand up straight and see me..."

Su Qingliu's eyes immediately turned red as he listened to her speaking slowly, word by word, with an obvious lack of energy.

Su Qingyu felt uncomfortable, so she walked over and sat down next to the bed. He took her hand and patted it, but he couldn't touch the flesh. The bones were clear and pale and slender.

"I should have come a long time ago. You let the children hide it from me. The country peasant woman was still working in the fields before giving birth. The town is so big, why didn't you let me come?"

"I'm afraid I'll make you sick. Children in the belly are the most delicate..."

Seeing her looking at her belly with envy, Su Qingnao raised his hand to touch her belly, but when he reached her belly, he shrank back, so he grabbed her hand and put it on his belly.

The child in the belly may feel a woman's gentle touch and move in response.

"Yeah, he moved! He said hello to me."

"Yes, such a gentle and beautiful master, the child can't wait to come out and see you."

Ma Shiniang's face glowed with excitement, she touched it a few more times, and when she saw that the child was no longer moving, she retracted her hand in frustration, her eyes still staring, which made Su Qingyu extremely sad to see it.

"Master Wife, you have to take good care of yourself. He will come out when spring comes. Then let him stay with you. If you like him, I can give him to you."

Ma Shiniang laughed. I laughed twice and coughed violently...

Su Qingliu hurriedly walked over and patted her back, while Su Qingyu also helped smooth her chest. Cui Yuying, who was waiting outside, immediately brought a bowl of concoction in and waited for her to drink the concoction.

The strong herbal smell made Su Qingnao feel a little uncomfortable and nauseated when she smelled it, but Ma Shiniang didn't blink and drank it all in one go.

"It's so bitter. I even said I didn't need to drink it, but he insisted on letting me drink it. It's so bitter that I almost vomited my bile. Everything I eat tastes like bitter medicine."

Su Qingyu took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth. She looked at her holding the jelly beans Cui Yuying fed her, and comforted her: "It will be bitter first and then sweet. Just raise it slowly and it will be fine. What do you want to eat then?" I found them all and cooked them for you to eat.”

"That's good. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it." His eyes slowly lost their luster.
