Liu Jiuzhu came home with the basket and was opening the door when suddenly the basket slipped and the vegetables inside spilled all over the floor.

She knelt down to pick up something.

A hand stretched out from the side to help her pick it up.

She looked up, saw a handsome young man, and quickly said, "Thank you!"

The boy said shyly, "You're welcome. Are you new here?"

"Yes." The boy helped her pick up the things, and then lifted the basket to her. "Be careful in the future."

"Thank you, you are..."

"My house is next door." The boy pointed to the next house.

Liu Jiuzhu looked at the direction he pointed, and the smile on his face faded a little.

"Shizhu, Shizhu..." Mrs. Zhang opened the door and shouted, "I haven't brought the pancakes I baked for you yet... why is it you? Shizhu, what are you doing?"

Wang Shizhu hurried over: "This girl dropped something, I'll help you pick it up."

"What are you picking up? Hu Meizi, she's been thinking about seducing men all day long." Mrs. Zhang said viciously.

Liu Jiuzhu was annoyed: "Auntie, don't talk nonsense. I didn't ask your son for help. He happened to see it and kindly helped me. Of course, I am very grateful to him. But if he helps me, the result will be Just let you pour dirty water on me like this, then don’t help me anymore. In addition, I have a husband who works in the government. He is not at home now because he is on business outside. When he comes back, if he knows that you have slandered me like this , I won't be polite to you."

"A man who works in the government..." Zhang's voice was a little weaker, "Who knows if it's true? Who are you bluffing?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Shizhu dragged Mrs. Zhang inside.

Mrs. Zhang said to Wang Shizhu: "You are not allowed to help her in the future. That little hoof is very bad, and he said that he would pull out my loofah vine."

"Mother, don't offend anyone anymore." Wang Shizhu said, "Neighbors should help each other, but now you have offended everyone. Who will help us if there is anything wrong with our family?"

"If you don't want to help, don't help. Who cares about them? I have lived in this street for more than ten years, and I have never seen them help me." Zhang disdainfully said, "Okay, don't you want to go to work? Come on!" go!"

As soon as Liu Jiuzhu entered the door, Duobao greeted him wagging his tail.

"Okay, I bought you bones and I'll eat them later."

Clap!Clap!There was a knock on the door from outside.

Liu Jiuzhu opened the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mrs. Lu, I heard that you can deliver babies?" A man looked at her anxiously, "My wife is about to give birth, and the old lady Wen went to deliver the babies to other wives. I won't be able to find anyone else for a while. Can you do me a favor? Please."

Liu Jiuzhu knew this person, and this big man was also a neighbor, but it was a little far away from her house by several houses.

"Did you see the doctor?"

"Doctors can't be hired either. How can a poor family like us dare to hire a doctor?"

"Okay, let's go and have a look first."

"Yes, please."

Liu Jiuzhu closed the door and followed the big man to his house.

At this time, the man's father and mother were pacing in the yard, seeing their anxious expressions, they were obviously very worried about the situation inside.

"Why did you invite her here?" The aunt asked anxiously, "Didn't you ask you to invite Mrs. Wen?"

"Wen Po left with someone else, and I said no more money. That household gave her more money, and she didn't care about our life. When Mrs. Lu came to visit before, I heard her and Xiu Niang mention that they used to help After giving birth, I wanted to ask her for help."

"Mrs. Lu, are you really good at delivering babies? This is a matter of life and death, so you can't talk about it."

Listening to the voice inside, Liu Jiuzhu comforted the aunt: "Auntie, just don't worry, I have delivered dozens of children with my own hands. Hurry up and prepare hot water and clean cloth strips, I will use them later .Also, big brother, you have to prepare..."

Liu Jiuzhu was young, and he really didn't look like he was born.But seeing that she was full of confidence and arranged things in an orderly manner, at least it was better than their mess, so I just obeyed her orders.

Men can't enter the delivery room, so the aunt will beat Liu Jiuzhu.

The aunt saw that she moved quickly, as if she had taken a reassurance, and finally she was not so anxious.

"Sister-in-law is in good health, so don't be nervous. I think the fetal position is also normal, but because this is the first baby, the baby will struggle a little, which is normal. Take it easy, don't be nervous, and the birth will happen after a while."

"I only gave birth to one child, Chunsheng." The aunt said next to her, "I had a hard time giving birth to Chunsheng, and I almost lost my life. Now when I see my daughter-in-law giving birth, I feel nervous. You little Why is your age so stable? Have you really taken birth before?"

"Auntie, you still don't believe me by this time? My grandma used to be a medical woman. She not only helped people deliver babies, but also treated some women's diseases. I'm just a half bucket of water. I haven't learned much else, but I'm good at delivering babies and taking care of children. On the one hand, I can handle it. My grandma said that if medical skills can be classified, I should be good at women's diseases and children's diseases."

"Okay, this is good."

"Ah..." Feng Xiuniang screamed, "It hurts..."

"I see the head." Liu Jiuzhu said, "Sister-in-law, try harder..."

Feng Xiuniang squeezed hard...

Liu Jiuzhu supported the child's head, and then used his ingenuity to take the child out of the mother's womb.

Boo!

Feng Xiuniang's bulging stomach was empty like this.

A wet little baby was born.

"Great, great." The aunt clasped her hands beside her, "Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva."

Liu Jiuzhu cut off the umbilical cord, put the baby away, and then dealt with the production site.

"How about the children? Boys and girls?" Feng Xiuniang asked.

"It's a boy." The aunt said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. As long as the mother and child are safe, it's good luck. Buddha blesses you. Madam Lu, stay for dinner later, don't be polite to us."

"I won't eat." Liu Jiuzhu knew that their family had just had a baby, so there must be a lot of things to deal with.Among other things, at least mothers and children must be taken care of.

"No, no, no, you have to stay for a light meal. It's thanks to you this time, otherwise what would our family do! Don't say that there are many people who give birth around here, but they haven't been delivered!"

Liu Jiuzhu couldn't bear their enthusiasm, so he had to stay and eat.

When she saw the poached eggs in the bowl, she felt even more embarrassed, thinking that she just bought ribs today, and would give them some bones later, as a congratulatory gift.

"It's too late, I'll go back first." Liu Jiuzhu thanked again, "I'll come back tomorrow to see what the child wants."

"Okay, thank you so much." Li Guanghai said, "I'll take you out."

The two families were not far away, Liu Jiuzhu asked him to go back to take care of the mother instead of sending her off.

But it was already dark at this time, and even though there were only a few families in between, Li Guanghai insisted on sending Liu Jiuzhu off.

One is that this is a matter of etiquette.After all, he invited people to help at home, so there was no reason not to send them back.The second is that this little lady looks really good, and there are a few fools nearby, so I can't ignore it.

As soon as it was delivered to the door, I saw a black shadow squatting there.

"Who?" Seeing the black shadow, Li Guanghai immediately stood in front of her nervously, looking at the other side vigilantly.

"Bamboo..." A choked voice sounded. "Bamboo, are you back?"

Black Shadow stood up and finally saw her appearance clearly through the dim moonlight.

"Qingsi?"

"Bamboo..." Yang Qingsi rushed over, hugging Liu Jiuzhu tightly.

Liu Jiuzhu said to Li Guanghai: "Brother, this is my sister, not a bad person. Thank you, brother, for sending me back."

"Okay, as long as you're not a bad person, then I'm going back, you go in!" Li Guanghai heaved a sigh of relief.

"Okay, thank you."

Liu Jiuzhu opened the door and brought Yang Qingsi in.

As soon as he entered the door, Duobao rushed over again.

Liu Jiuzhu hurriedly moved away and said, "Don't make trouble, Duobao."

After entering the room, Liu Jiuzhu lit the oil lamp first, and then looked at Yang Qingsi.

Yang Qingsi's face was full of tears, and she looked haggard.

"Didn't you eat? I'll cook right away."

"I do not want to eat."

"That won't work." Liu Jiuzhu said, "No matter what happens, the stomach must be filled."

Yang Qingsi followed Liu Jiuzhu to the kitchen.

The lighting was dim and the room was large, which made the room even darker.

Yang Qingsi sat in front of the stove, burning a fire.

She looked at the fire in the stove, her eyes flickering and flickering.

Liu Jiuzhu also concentrated on making noodles.

"It just so happened that I bought some eggs today, let's spend extravagance and fry an extra egg."

"I will not eat."

"My waist is a little thicker. If you don't eat it, wouldn't it be me who is the only one getting fat? If it doesn't work, the good sisters will lose weight and gain weight together."

Yang Qingsi smiled bitterly: "What do you say?"

Liu Jiuzhu talked about what happened just now.

"That was Brother Li just now. Brother Li's wife just gave birth to a son. You don't know how dangerous they are. Fortunately, I can deliver the baby, otherwise they would be very troublesome..."

After the noodles were ready, Liu Jiuzhu and Yang Qingsi sat at the table to eat the noodles.

Liu Jiuzhu just ate poached eggs, but now he doesn't want to eat them.But she knew that if she didn't eat it, Yang Qingsi might not know how to eat it, so she ate two eggs with her.As for the noodles, I ate very little.

After eating noodles, Yang Qingsi scrambled to wash the dishes.

Liu Jiuzhu didn't grab the job and let her do things.She washed and brushed next to her and cleaned up the room.

"Would you like to take a hot bath?"

"No." Yang Qingsi shook her head, "I don't have the strength now."

"Okay, let's go rest then."

Lying on the bed, Liu Jiuzhu leaned against Yang Qingsi's side and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

"My mother betrothed me to my cousin."

"Cousin?" Liu Jiuzhu thought for a while and said, "The shopkeeper?"

"Ah."

"Brother Shugen's mother wants to find a cousin for him, and your mother wants to find a cousin for you. I think they match up on purpose." Liu Jiuzhu said, "With your temperament, you probably won't agree to it, right?"

"My mother took the dowry money and used the dowry money to build a new house. There is no room for negotiation. If I don't marry, the other party asks my mother to return the money."

"Based on your character, you shouldn't compromise on this matter. Your mother should return it after taking it. She has used up all the money, so let her figure out a way for herself. It is impossible to use you to pay off the debt. Besides, Isn't that her natal family? Her natal family should be easy to talk to, and it's impossible to force her too hard. I think your mother knows where your weakness is, and uses this method to force you to marry. "

"I know too." Yang Qingsi said, "So I ran out."

"It's useless to run out. We still have to solve this matter. Otherwise, when people mention you, they will say that you escaped marriage, and your reputation will be bad."

"I understand." Yang Qingsi leaned on her shoulder, "I had a fight with my mother today. My father still wants to lock me in the woodshed, saying that even if I break my leg, it won't hurt me." Marry me to Zhong Shugen."

"It's terrible. What about your brother and sister-in-law? Won't they help you?"

"If they don't help me, I won't even have a chance to escape. But as you said, if I escaped today, they will definitely know where I am tomorrow, and then they will implicate you. I must go back to Liujia Village , It’s just that I have to think about what to do. When my mother told me, I was stunned and my mind was confused.”

"Then do you want to understand?"

"I've been thinking about it just now, but I still haven't figured it out. My parents made an appointment for me. According to the rules, I have no way to object."

"Then the only way to deal with this matter is with your cousin." Liu Jiuzhu said, "I met your cousin once. We are good sisters. If I have anything to say, I will speak directly. From my usual impression Look, he's not a good guy."

After all, the first time he saw her, that man only had one younger sister, and he always showed courteousness in front of her.

"Of course I know who he is." Yang Qingsi said, "I'm not stupid. With his character, even if there is no fool like Zhong Shugen, I can't marry him. If I marry him, then Could it be that there will be no bright future in this life. And my grandmother and aunt's family are not good people. If I fall into their hands, they won't give me good looks because of my mother's face. "

Liu Jiuzhu saw that she was clear-headed and spoke in an orderly manner, knowing that she was not confused by anger, so she felt relieved.

"We'll talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow, let's rest!"

"Ah."

Liu Jiuzhu had been paying attention to Yang Qingsi's situation, and seeing that she stopped talking soon and her breathing was quite steady, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After she closed her eyes, Yang Qingsi opened them.

She looked at the moonlight outside the window.

How could she sleep when such a big thing happened?

When she was on the road just now, she thought about these terrible things, and hesitated whether to leave here completely and never come back.

But, among other things, there are still many people she misses here.She can't just want no one just because of her parents.

"I, Yang Qingsi, am not afraid of anything. This little difficulty can't defeat me." Yang Qingsi muttered, "The big deal is that I am more ruthless than anyone else. I want to see if they really want to force me to death."
