From the moment Qin Xiang'e set up her stall in front of the stage, the people of Maolou knew that Zhao Erling's biological mother had also come to their village to sell mung bean cakes at the temple fair. So when Zhao Erling had an accident, they rushed over to inform her.

The fourth brother panicked as soon as he heard that.

Ignoring Qin Zheng and Ye Yun, he hurriedly stuffed the money bag into Qin Zheng's arms and rushed towards Zhao Erling's in-laws' house.

"Brother! Sister-in-law! You two stay with Mom and watch the stall for a while, I'm going to check on Second Sister!"

"Hey! Fourth Brother!!"

Qin Xiang'e called out anxiously, but Lao Si ran too fast. She was worried and wanted to follow, but she couldn't leave the stall in front of her.

"Aunt, you go with Lao Si, leave the stall to me," Ye Yun said proactively.

With the important matter of childbirth looming, even if Qin Xiang'e, the mother, wasn't in Maolou, she would still have to rush over.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang'e no longer hesitated and anxiously took off her apron. "My dear wife, thank you so much. Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as she gives birth!"

After saying that, he threw down his apron, picked up the malted milk powder and two portions of mung bean cakes next to him, and chased after the fourth brother.

The flustered figure quickly blended into the crowd.

Ye Yun watched Qin Xiang'e leave until someone came to buy mung bean cakes, which interrupted her worried gaze.

"Wife, you should rest."

Qin Zheng didn't intend for her to do anything. He patted her on the shoulder and told her to just sit on the small stool next to him and rest.

He then skillfully received the guests.

Ask the customer how much they want, wrap it in oil paper, hand it to the customer, collect the money—all done with practiced ease and a smile. Afterward, don't forget to say, "If you like it, come back again."

Even though he held a position of power and influence within the construction company, he remained true to himself when running this small business, without a trace of arrogance.

Harmony brings wealth.

Regardless of the size of the business, you have to take it seriously. Otherwise, what's the point of customers coming to buy from you if they have to put up with your attitude?

If that's the case, eventually no one will come, and this unprofitable business will have to stop.

The people in front of the stall came in waves. If no one came, no one came; if one came, it would bring another wave. After Qin Zheng saw off the customers in front of the stall, he turned his head and saw Ye Yun looking up at him.

He couldn't help but chuckle. "What are you thinking about?"

Ye Yun shook her head.

She had only ever seen him help out at the shop, and had never seen him set up a street stall before, so she found it quite novel.

Suddenly a surprised voice came.

"Huh? Sister-in-law? What are you doing here? Where's Aunt Xiang'e?" Tian Xiaohui was walking towards them with two friends. Not seeing Qin Xiang'e, she looked around in confusion.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Seeing this, Qin Zheng simply took Ye Yun's hand and stood up.

Tian Xiaohui was taken aback. "Huh?"

"Your Aunt Xiang'e has some business to attend to and has left. Your sister-in-law and I are worried that she won't be able to handle it, so we're going to go find her. We'll leave the business to you."

"What?!"

Tian Xiaohui's eyes widened. How could she be forced to work overtime just for saying hello?

Qin Zheng patted her on the shoulder, "Work hard, and when we get back, I'll ask your sister-in-law to give you a raise."

Tian Xiaohui twitched her lips and sneered, "Brother, look at this pancake in my hand, doesn't it look like the big pancake you drew for me?"

"It doesn't look like it."

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he coldly took Ye Yun's hand and left.

Tian Xiaohui: "..."

Damn it, she has to sell mung bean cakes even during her holiday. She can't do this job for even a day!

...

Over here, Ye Yun and Qin Zheng were walking towards Zhao Erjie's house when they saw Lao Si rushing towards them, covered in sweat.

"Make way! Make way, everyone!"

The fourth brother was shouting loudly as he pushed through the crowd and rushed forward, as if he didn't see them at all, quickly brushing past Qin Zheng and Ye Yun.

He knocked the crowd into disarray, and the people he hit complained and cursed.

Ye Yun was also taken aback.

Qin Zheng shielded her and raised his voice to call out to Lao Si, "Lao Si!"

Hearing the commotion, the fourth brother in front stopped abruptly and turned around in surprise.

"Hey! Bro? What are you guys doing here!"

Upon seeing that it was Qin Zheng and Ye Yun, he immediately turned around and rushed towards them.

Qin Zheng instinctively pulled Ye Yun behind him to shield her, "What happened?"

"There's no time to explain!"

The fourth brother rushed over and reached for the money pouch tied to Qin Zheng's waist—

"Brother! My second sister is having a difficult childbirth, can I borrow this money first?" As he spoke, the fourth brother untied the money bag and hurriedly ran towards the direction of Zhao's second sister's house.

Even Qin Zheng was stunned.

Did Zhao Erling have a difficult childbirth?

"Qin Zheng, let's go take a look." Ye Yun grasped Qin Zheng's hand and asked him to lead the way.

If it's a difficult birth, then things get serious.

The worst thing for a woman giving birth is a difficult labor. If she's lucky, she might survive; if she's unlucky... well, it's unimaginable.

Zhao Erjie's difficult childbirth was probably related to her fall. Falling is the most frightening thing in the late stages of pregnancy. Childbirth is already like stepping into the gates of hell with one foot in it. If you encounter a difficult childbirth, it's like falling into the King of Hell's palace. It all depends on whether the King of Hell will take pity on you and let you go.

Perhaps because they were both pregnant, Ye Yun's heart sank as well.

"Honey, don't be afraid." Qin Zheng noticed her unusual behavior, took her small hand, and comforted her.

But he noticed that Ye Yun's hands were very cold, as if they had suddenly lost their warmth.

Ye Yun smiled faintly, "I'm not afraid."

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Qin Zheng pursed his lips and glanced at her slightly protruding belly, a hint of tension flashing in his eyes.
