How could Wang Fengshou possibly refuse? That's one tael of silver a month! Together with his wife, that's two taels of silver a month. This is an incredible opportunity!

Wang Fengshou immediately went back to the house and told his wife about it. Upon hearing this, his wife immediately started packing her things.

There are two elderly people in the family, so they are not worried about who will take care of the children.

The three children were reluctant to leave their parents, and the youngest one clung to his mother's leg, refusing to let go: "Mom, don't go, don't go."

“Mom isn’t leaving. Mom is just going to the county to buy candied hawthorns for my son. She’ll be back soon,” Wang Fengshou’s wife said softly, holding her youngest son.

Upon hearing the word "candied hawthorn," the little one immediately forgot everything else and said in a childish voice, "I want candied hawthorn."

"Mother, we want to eat candied hawthorns too. How many days will it take for you and Father to come back?" Wang Daya asked her mother with longing eyes.

"We'll be back in a few days. You all stay home and listen to your grandparents. Your parents are going to the county to earn money."

Knowing that Fan Sheng was in a hurry, Wang Fengshou and his wife didn't delay. They said a few words of farewell and left in their oxcart.

With two more people in the shop, Fan Sheng and Luo Suyue had a much easier time. Wang Fengshou helped Fan Sheng serve customers, while Wang Fengshou's wife learned how to make milk tea from Luo Suyue.

When there aren't many guests, Luo Suyue can go to the backyard to play with her daughter.

The turnover in the next two days was even higher than that of the first day. Fan Sheng was overjoyed to see this and was glad that he had made the decisive move to find Wang Fengshou and his wife, otherwise he and his wife would have been exhausted by now.

These past few days, Luo Suyue has been thinking about her son. She thought he would take some time to come to the store to visit, but after waiting for several days, he still hasn't come.

She and Fan Sheng discussed packing a few cups of sweet soup to send to the college.

"Sure, let's go together this time. It would be good to bring a few cups. Should we also bring some for the teachers at the academy, and for Yuan'er's master and mistress as well?" Fan Sheng chattered on, counting the number of people.

This is not surprising. If we really consider all the people he mentioned, they would have to bring at least dozens of cups with them.

They didn't tell their son's mentor about the family business, because they thought Wang Kang, as the dean, must be very busy, and it wouldn't be appropriate for them to bring up such a small matter in front of him.

But if they really had to go to the academy to deliver sweet soup to their son, they would feel bad ignoring their son's teacher, otherwise it would seem like they didn't value each other.

Fan Sheng tentatively suggested, "It's fine if we send a small amount, but it's inconvenient for us to take too much. Besides, Yuan'er will be on vacation soon, so why don't we wait for him to come back on his own?"

“Okay, that’s the only way,” Luo Suyue agreed quickly, as she wasn’t one to make a fuss.

Fan Siyuan, who was diligently preparing for his exams at the academy, quickly dismissed his parents' idea of ​​bringing him sweet soup, focusing instead on achieving a good ranking in the exams to make them happy.

Xia Qingqing sent all the baby supplies that she had asked Zhou Wei to buy to Ali.

Ali was very touched and kept thanking Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing smiled nonchalantly: "No need to be polite, we're friends, consider this a gift for the baby."

That said, Ali's child should call her "Auntie" after birth, but something feels off because Ali's child was born in the form of a little tiger.

It's like she'll have a few more little tiger nephews in the future; thinking about it, it's actually quite interesting.

In a few days, it will be Ahua's due date. These past few days, Ali has been very tense and often gets distracted.

He had heard people say that females experience a lot of pain when giving birth, and there is even a possibility of severe bleeding. He was very worried that something might happen to Ahua.

Ahua wasn't initially very nervous, but after being infected by his emotions, she also became nervous. She looked at Ali with a mix of amusement and exasperation and said, "Who's giving birth, me or you? You seem more scared than me."

“I’m not scared, no, I’m scared, I’m just worried that you’ll be in danger,” Ali said, holding her hand and talking nonsense.

Although cases of females dying during childbirth are extremely rare, Ali was still afraid that Ahua might be one of them. When it came to his little female, he could never be too cautious.

"No, my mother said giving birth is very simple, not as scary as you think," Ahua gently reassured the cold-faced beastman in front of her.

Ali nodded without saying anything, hoping so.

Soon it was time for Ahua to give birth, and Ali immediately summoned experienced females and shamans from the tribe.

He then stayed by Ahua's side without leaving for a moment. The beastman, who had never shed a tear even when he was injured, suddenly burst into tears when he saw his little female lying on the stone bed wailing in pain.

"Ahua, how are you? Does it hurt a lot?"

“Wizard, look at Ahua! She’s bleeding so much, her face is all pale from the pain.”

Ahua was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, she could only hold Ali's hand tightly.

The wizard was getting annoyed by Ali's incessant chatter. Finally, he had several old females chase Ali out of the cave: "Don't cause any more trouble here. Wait until Ali finishes eating before you come back in."

"Don't push me! Let me stay with Ahua. She definitely needs me," Ali cried out helplessly and pitifully.

But this did not arouse any pity from the old females; it only made them feel that driving Ali away was indeed the right thing to do. His staying in the cave would not only be of no help but would also be a hindrance.

Ali squatted at the entrance of the cave, listening to Ahua's increasingly loud cries of pain inside, wishing he could take her place.

It felt like an eternity before a cheer finally erupted from inside the cave: "It's born!"

Upon hearing this, Ali immediately rushed inside. The cave reeked of blood, and the wizard was holding a small tiger cub in one arm.

"Ali, congratulations on becoming a father! Both little ones are very healthy."

Ali had no time to worry about the newborn baby. With tears in his eyes, he collapsed onto the stone bed and cried out to Ahua, who was lying motionless on the bed, "Ahua, how are you? Answer me! Waaah, don't scare me!"

"Ali, don't disturb Ahua, she's asleep from exhaustion," the wizard scolded unhappily.

Ali's crying stopped; he had fallen asleep. He had thought...

It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. He never wants Ahua to suffer like this again. Having two little ones is enough for him in this life.

Ahua, lying on the stone bed, smiled almost imperceptibly. She had indeed fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion, but Ali's crying woke her up again.

When Ahua learned that Ali's first reaction upon entering wasn't to check on the baby but to worry about her safety, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart, realizing that all the hard work she had put in to give birth to his baby hadn't been in vain.
