Seeing that they brought a lot of things, the village chief's wife asked a few aunts in the village who were relatively easy to get along with for help.

Seeing this, Liu Huan said, "Thank you for your help, aunts. Please take a look around the house to see if there is anything you need. We can't use it anyway, so if you don't mind, you can take it away."

The aunts were overjoyed when they heard this. As farmers, they would never care about such things.

I happily took all the utensils and bedding inside to the yard, thinking that since I didn't want anything anymore, I must wipe it down before moving in.

Another aunt fetched water and wiped all the large items in the house before putting in the things Liu Huan and the others had brought.

Not for anything else, just for the bedding, cotton quilts, pots and pans. If I were to buy them, I wouldn't have the money to buy such good things.

Now you can have it by just cleaning the room, aren’t we all very meticulous.

Everyone was putting their things in place inside, while Liu Huan was chatting with the village head's wife in the yard.

The wife of the village head said enthusiastically, "You can just call me Aunt Zhang. Now that you have come to Heshui Village, you should treat this place as your home. If you need anything, go find your uncle. As for your household registration, I will ask your uncle to take care of it for you tomorrow."

Liu Huan thanked him: "Thank you, auntie."

The village head's wife said generously: "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."

Seeing everyone cleaning the house for him, Liu Huan asked, "Aunt, may I ask how much is the day's wages?"

"Oh, why should I give you money? These things are enough for the wages." The village head's wife was very embarrassed. She had never thought about asking for money for this.

"Yes, yes. The aunties have worked so hard. The things in the house are just for show. How can I let the aunties work for me for nothing?"

Liu Huan’s idea was simple: just pay for the work and you won’t owe anyone a favor.

Seeing that she was not joking, the village head's wife said, "It's 50 cents a day to carry things at the dock, and 30 cents a day to work in the county. Your work is not much, so if you really want to pay, just give me cents."

Seeing that Liu Huan's belly was so big, she said, "You are probably about to give birth. Mrs. Cao in the east of the city is the best at delivering babies. You can ask her to do it in advance."

Liu Huan had heard people praising Mrs. Cao twice, and explained, "I have twins, and they are not yet full-term."

The village head's wife was surprised and said, "No wonder the babies are so big. I've never seen twins before. Madam Su is so lucky."

Liu Huan sighed, whether she would be blessed or not was a matter for the future. She only knew that she would suffer giving birth to these two babies. In her previous life, she had never heard of anyone giving birth to twins naturally, all were delivered by caesarean section.

As they chatted, a few aunts who had gathered all the things came out with smiles on their faces, "Mrs. Su, everything is ready inside, please go in and have a rest."

Liu Huan thanked them and asked Qiu Rong to pay them. Everyone smiled and said, "It's just a small amount of work, and you pay so much."

"It's also a job, so please call me by my name, my name is Liu Huan, and my husband's surname is Su."

"Yes, yes, it's good to call you by your name. It's intimate to call you by your name."

One aunt saw that there were a lot of weeds in the yard, so she said, "Since we have already received the money, let's clean up the yard together."

They acted right away. Several people called Liu Huan into the house and cleared the weeds in the yard, even the vegetable garden nearby. When they left, they said they had vegetable seeds at home and would bring them over to plant when they had time.

Qiu Rong took out the prepared cakes and said, "Miss, please eat something to fill your stomach first. Ermo has gone to buy vegetables with the wife of the village head."

Liu Huan ate something casually and then lay down. She swore that she would never have a baby again in her life, although she didn't have one with anyone.

Her belly grew bigger and bigger like a ball. Liu Huan insisted on taking a walk in the village every day. Everyone in the village knew that she was pregnant with twins.

The doctor took her pulse every seven days and hired two midwives, one was Mrs. Cao, and the other was from the neighboring village recommended by the villagers.

The delivery room had been prepared early, and because it was twins, double portions of everything needed for the babies were prepared.

As the days passed, Liu Huan dared not go anywhere and could only wander around in the yard. Her legs were swollen like pig's trotters and she had cramps in the middle of the night. Qiu Rong and Qiu Ju had to give her massages every day.

In mid-June, Liu Huan finally saw her period. She was scared but also relieved. It was just one cut anyway, so it would be better to give birth early to avoid the worry and sleepless nights.

But she thought the knife was too simple. She didn't know that it would be such a pain, a burst of severe pain followed by a pause and then the pain started again.

She was in pain for a whole day and night and had no strength left. The midwife said that her cervix was only slightly dilated.

The doctor said, "Madam, this pregnancy is dangerous. It's best to prepare some precious medicinal herbs in case of emergency."

Qiu Rong asked: "What does the doctor need?"

"Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are the best, and Bletilla striata..."

Before the doctor finished speaking, Qiu Rong came into the room and took out the herbs that had been prepared earlier, "Doctor, are these what you want to see?"

The doctor took a look and found ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Dendrobium, Nyctaginaceae, Tripterygium wilfordii... some of which were not available in his clinic.

For example, this ginseng is as thick as a baby's hand. It must be several hundred years old, if not a thousand years old.

"Doctor, are these okay?" Qiu Rong saw the doctor stroking each of the flowers carefully. She didn't know what he was thinking and was very anxious.

The doctor nodded and said, "Okay, okay. I didn't expect that Madam's family has such good things. But these things must be kept away from outsiders, so as not to be coveted by those with ulterior motives."

Qiu Rong said: "Thank you for the reminder, doctor, but I don't know how to use these medicines. My wife has no strength left."

The doctor quickly took out his medicine box and started preparing the medicine. Ermo had already boiled the water in the medicine pot and was just waiting for the doctor to get the medicine.

In the room, Liu Huan was sweating profusely and seemed to be half asleep. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even cry out. Only tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes into the pillow.

Qiuju felt so distressed, she knew that the young lady was missing her parents.

When she thought about how heartless the adult was, she cursed him thousands of times in her heart.

"Miss, you must be strong. The young master needs you."

Liu Huan couldn't hear what she said, she just felt that she was going to die. She thought that it would be better to die, because when she died she would not think about the sadness and happiness that Su Yi brought her. She didn't worry about whether she should hate him, the grudge between the original owner and the Su family, and her entanglement with the Su family. This life would be over.

Qiu Rong came in with medicine and interrupted her fantasy, "Master, the doctor said that you will have more strength after taking this medicine."

After drinking the medicine, Liu Huan grabbed Qiu Rong and told her, "If I die, these two children will have the surname Liu and will have nothing to do with the Su family in this life. This is my only wish."

Qiu Rong's eyes were red as she shook her head: "Miss, you will be fine."

Liu Huan held her hand tightly, hoping that she would give him an answer.

Qiu Ju came over and swore, "I promise you, young lady, if... I will raise the young master and never step into the Su family's gate again in my life."

Hearing this, Liu Huan breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that life and death were no longer important.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard the midwife say, "Madam, the cervix has opened. Follow me and push slowly. Don't be afraid."

Gradually, she heard the cry of a baby, and her stomach loosened and her consciousness became increasingly blurred.

"Oh no, Madam is having a hemorrhage..."
