Chapter 903 Feeling guilty

Liu went to the midwife’s house in the village early in the morning with some souvenirs and was about to tell the father of her child that she had made all the arrangements. She learned that Chen the midwife’s aunt and sister-in-law didn’t mind waiting for Sanya to give birth and learning a few tricks, and that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were willing to move in two days earlier. She saw that the main courtyard was relaxed outside but tense inside.

There was no doubt that her Liu Lang and his father were discussing something important in the upper room, or that Jia Xing was asked to guard the courtyard and not let any maids or old women approach the upper room.

“Mom, my dad and I are in there.”

“heard it.”

Hi, it was really the child’s mother who came back. Gu Erzhu originally thought that it was his eldest son teasing him, but he never expected that his wife was so close that she could hear him even if she called out.

He looked at his son’s ears curiously, “These two ears are as good as the wolfhound at your uncle Ma’s house. Dad didn’t even hear you outside.”

Gu Wenxuan couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this analogy. Before he could say anything else, his father no longer cared about him and turned around and walked out.

Before he even reached the entrance to the hall, his mother had already stepped into the hall, “What are you doing out here?”

“To pick you up.”

My dad felt guilty.

“It’s just a few steps away. Why are you picking me up?” Liu smiled and pushed Gu Erzhu, signaling him to turn around and go in together. “I told Jiaxing not to make a fuss.”

The implication was that she already knew that the father and son were talking about serious matters. She originally did not want to interrupt and even specifically asked Jiaxing not to bow and greet them, but the father and son still found out.

Gu Erzhu knew what his wife wanted to say, and as he returned to his original position, he smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious, our Liu Lang wanted you to listen to it.

“Is everything settled on the other end? You left early, why did you take so long? Where did you go? Did you pass by someone’s house and get caught by someone and sit at their house for a while?”

“It’s agreed. When I was on my way there, I passed by the door of my child’s uncle’s house and saw my child’s aunt coming out. I couldn’t tell her I was going, so I just said I was going to take a look at my own house.

I was afraid that if I told her where I was going, her third aunt would want to go with us, and it would be difficult to talk to her at her house. Wulang’s wife had twins, and her third aunt was going crazy.

I was afraid that she would go to other people’s houses and ask whether Wulang’s wife was pregnant with a boy or a girl, or compare what Wulang’s wife eats every day with our San Ya.

As a mother-in-law, she just got a daughter-in-law who is twins. She feels sorry for her daughter-in-law and wants to ask her everything. Once the topic starts, she starts talking too much, which wastes a lot of time.

Later, I looked around the house and went around to the other side (the midwife’s house) in front of our house. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very happy to come, and I had already made arrangements with them. “

When Gu Wenxuan heard this, he already knew whose house his mother had gone to when she first got home. “I also went to their house when you and my father were not at home.”

“Your aunt said.” Mrs. Liu gave her old son a “well done” smile, “The more courtesy, the less blame. This is how it should be.

People are also particular. When your eldest sister-in-law gave birth to your nephew, I thought it was only your aunt who brought her daughter-in-law to deliver the baby, but I didn’t expect it was your cousin who brought your aunt.”

Gu Erzhu nodded in agreement, but never mentioned how other mothers-in-law hired a midwife for their daughters-in-law or how his wife hired a midwife for her daughter-in-law.

For example, in the village, most families wait until their daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and then the mother-in-law will bring a few eggs and invite her to their home to touch her belly.

Who is the same as his wife? Ever since Huniu got pregnant, his wife, as a good mother-in-law, has invited people to visit her every now and then, and even gave her expensive gifts when the child was born.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not care about the husband’s family or clan, they were willing to come just for the gift. Besides, this time Chen Wenpo’s aunt and sister-in-law were all there, and they agreed to give guidance to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

You should know that Chen Wenpo and her sister-in-law are not ordinary village midwives. Not only do they have the ancestral midwifery skills, they are also proficient in pre- and post-natal care for women.

Even if I haven’t heard of Chen Wenpo from Jiangnan, I can imagine from her attitude. If the two sisters-in-law want to give advice, how can the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not be tempted?

Just like when Doctor Dong saw his wife’s nephew Doctor Song coming, he asked his Erlang to learn something from Doctor Song, just in the hope that his Erlang’s medical skills would be better.

“Your great-grandmother’s cooking skills are beyond your aunt’s reach. When I gave birth to your eldest brother, your father said that your great-grandmother’s cooking skills were better than her mother-in-law’s.

In her family, the skills have always been passed down from the mother-in-law to the eldest daughter-in-law. Your great-aunt was a child bride. Not only did she learn it for a long time, but she also seemed to be born to do this job.

I heard that it seems that all your cousins ​​were born with their mother-in-law watching over them, and letting her deliver the babies, is that right, father of the child?”

Who knows? They say that, and there are even more exaggerated claims that as long as she delivers the baby, every baby will be born smoothly. No one will believe it.

Only Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Daniu were able to give birth to several children smoothly. For example, the child’s grandmother gave birth to a stillborn baby.

He still remembered that his aunt-in-law almost died when she gave birth to that child. She also had a difficult labor with the youngest child and has not been pregnant since then.

But can this be said? It’s too unlucky! Regardless of what he thought, Gu Erzhu nodded quickly, “It’s like this, she has delivered the most babies.

But to say that her craftsmanship is better than that of Chen Wenpo and her sister-in-law is a joke. Theirs is a real ancestral craftsmanship. It’s not just one family, but two ancestral craftsmanships.

Like Chen Wenpo’s sister-in-law, the midwife who came back with us, you know that she is always busy in the capital, and people often ask her to deliver babies at home.

The amount of red envelopes given was quite a bit. I heard that at least ten silver ingots were given, which were worth ten taels of silver. Even with that, she was not willing to go out to deliver the baby.”

“It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but she said her family has a rule that she has to watch over the baby from beginning to end, at least three months before delivering the baby. They asked her to go when she was almost due to give birth, but she didn’t want to go.”

Gu Wenxuan understood what his mother meant. He was only asked to go over when he was about to give birth. The pregnant woman had no idea about the situation beforehand, so the risk was naturally greater, so people were unwilling to deliver the baby.

Another reason is, “It’s better to go before giving birth. I’m worried that I might be involved in the secret affairs of the powerful families in the capital, so I don’t want to go.”

Liu had to admit that her eldest son hit the nail on the head. Not to mention the midwife, even the imperial physician needed a life to spend the money, otherwise why would Doctor Lin have left Beijing and fled to Qingzhou Prefecture?

“Who cares? Her coming here will be more beneficial to San Ya.” Liu said, pointing at the papers covering the eight-immortal table, “Have you two reached an agreement?”

“Almost.” Gu Erzhu quickly took over the conversation, “It’s clearly written on it. If I don’t understand something, you are here to help me.”

Liu couldn’t help but smile. “So, I am still very useful. Is there anything else? If you have any, tell me quickly. If it’s not urgent, go do your thing first.

Your father and I will send someone to call you if there is something going on. Go back quickly. Dajiang might be waiting for you over there now, so you don’t have to come to my place for lunch.”
