Gao Mingcheng ate a big bowl of rice and his stomach stopped growling. While he was eating, Black Tiger and Elf also ran to Chen Dasong's house behind the house. Their food was also provided by the Chen family, but it was basically leftovers.

After Gao Mingcheng had eaten his fill, he spread out the tea seeds he had brought back on the ground to dry. The freshly picked tea seeds were green, with a hint of reddish brown on them. Most of the tea seeds were closed, with only a few slightly open.

But after picking the tea seeds, they will open up after being dried for a few days, revealing the black tea oil seeds inside.

This job requires no technical skills. After pouring the tea seeds on the ground, you don't need to worry about them for the time being.

Gao Mingcheng looked at the sky. Although it was already frost, it was only cool in the mornings and evenings. It was still sunny at noon, which was suitable for drying things.

Gao Mingcheng was wondering whether he should go into the mountains again when he heard someone calling his name.

"Mingcheng, Mingcheng, are you at home?" Gao Mingcheng jumped up from the chair and followed the sound and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Brother, what happened? Why are you so anxious?" Gao Mingcheng saw Zhang Chengyuan running over in a hurry and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Zhang Chengyuan is a quiet person and it is rare to see him so anxious.

Zhang Chengyuan was immediately relieved when he saw Gao Mingcheng at home.

"Mingcheng, Duoyu and others are having a quarrel in the old village. You should go and take a look!" Zhang Chengyuan looked at Gao Mingcheng as if asking for help, hoping that Gao Mingcheng would help him.

Gao Mingcheng didn’t know who Xuanyu had quarreled with, but as Xuanyu’s husband, Zhang Chengyuan saw his wife quarreling with someone, but instead of helping her, he expected him to intervene?

Gao Mingcheng was speechless for a moment, but he also knew that Zhang Chengyuan was just that kind of person. He probably would never dare to quarrel with anyone in his life.

If it were any other time, Gao Mingcheng would not bother to meddle in other people's business, but now Xuanyu is pregnant with a big belly and is already in the late stage of pregnancy. If she is not careful, she will give birth prematurely.

Therefore, Gao Mingcheng still had to take care of this matter, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Xuanyuemei when he returned.

Gao Mingcheng strode towards the old village, asking, "Who did my second sister quarrel with?"

Although Zhang Chengyuan didn't dare to help Xuanyu himself, he knew the situation, so he followed Gao Mingcheng and said, "He had a quarrel with Gao Huoyi's wife Hu Lijuan. Her eldest daughter-in-law was in confinement recently, and her mother sent brown sugar, red dates, eggs and two pig's feet. As a result, Hu Lijuan gave the brown sugar and red dates to the younger daughter-in-law, and the eggs and pig's feet were cooked and given to Gao Huoyi as snacks."

"I don't know what happened, but my eldest daughter-in-law, who is usually honest and quiet, suddenly started to make a scene. She yelled and cursed at home, and even smashed a stool, attracting many people to watch the fun. There has been little work in the fields recently, and Duoyu often goes to the old village to talk to people, so she just watched the fun from the side."

"Duoyu and other onlookers in the village were pointing fingers at Gao Huoyi's family, saying that they were bullying others. Hu Lijuan didn't dare to scold others, so she scolded Duoyu. I was working in the fields when someone called me just now."

Zhang Chengyuan had a bitter face, feeling helpless. He continued, "I know you're back in the village today, so I wanted to come and call you first. You'll have more face in the village."

Zhang Chengyuan is good at his job, but he doesn't have the courage to argue with others. He even has a psychological trauma because when he was a child, he often had to follow his mother and be paraded through the streets and scolded.

What he experienced during those years had worn away all his courage.

Gao Huoyi? Gao Mingcheng thought for a long time before he remembered this person, because although they were from the same village, he was not familiar with Gao Huoyi, mainly because they were not related by blood, and secondly, he looked down on Gao Huoyi's family.

Gao Huoyi loves wine like his life. When his family is hungry, he will always think about having a few drinks. This man who loves drinking will most likely also like to beat his wife. If his wife does not prepare snacks for him, she will be beaten.

So his wife Hu Lijuan may not do anything else, but she must prepare the snacks.

However, Gao Mingcheng's deepest impression of Gao Huoyi's family was that his two sons later divorced and became single. Especially his eldest son, he was the first person in Gaojia Village to divorce, and he was also a little famous.

After his two sons divorced, Gao Huoyi's family had a bad reputation. People in the village would make fun of them whenever they mentioned their family. Later, Gao Huoyi got drunk one day and ran to his cousin's house and beat him up.

The reason he gave for beating people was also weird. He said that he was born under the element of fire and his cousin was born under the element of water. His family had never been able to get ahead because they were suppressed by their cousin's element of water and their fortunes were extinguished.

Of course, after beating someone up, Gao Huoyi was awarded a pair of silver bracelets. Being detained for three months and eating jail food can be considered as enriching his life experience.

On the way to the old village, Gao Mingcheng extracted all the information about Gao Huoyi's family from his brain.

He walked so fast that Zhang Chengyuan behind him almost had to jog to keep up with him. When they arrived at Gao Huoyi's house, they saw many people gathered in his yard and could hear cursing from a distance.

Xuan Yu would not dare to say a word when confronting village cadres, but she would scold people without any scruples, especially after Gao Mingcheng became her brother-in-law. Relying on Gao Mingcheng's power, everyone in the village had to give her some respect.

Now that she was caught and bullied by Hu Lijuan, Xuanyu was not willing to give up. She put one hand on her waist and pointed at Hu Lijuan with the other hand and cursed her with her big belly.

"Shame on you! Your daughter-in-law's mother sent some food for her to eat during the confinement period, but you actually gave it to your man. Haha! So your man also needs to be in confinement during the confinement period?"

"Tsk tsk, there are no old people as shameless as you in the whole Gaojia Village! Your daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, but you didn't give her any good food or wash her diapers. On the second day after she gave birth, she went to the pond to wash her diapers herself!"

"Your man is not a good guy either. He lives a life of luxury and doesn't care about the lives of his family!"

Manyu Yu cursed happily, but Gao Huoyi and Hu Lijuan were embarrassed. They were not in the right in this matter. When they saw the villagers watching, Hu Lijuan saw Manyu Yu in the crowd and subconsciously picked on the weak.

But what Hu Lijuan didn't expect was that things are different now. She had fought with Xuanyiyu in the past and won, but now Xuanyiyu, relying on the support of her brother-in-law Gao Mingcheng, is no longer the timid girl she used to be!

Therefore, Hu Lijuan underestimated Yu's fighting ability and fell into a disadvantage immediately.

"You are such a bastard girl, you are talking nonsense here! You think you can get involved in my family's affairs? Who do you think you are? Bah!"

"Your parents died early, and you are not much better off... Why hasn't God taken you away yet?" As soon as Hu Lijuan opened her mouth, she poked at people's sore spots, which made many people's breathing quicken.

Xuanyu refused to admit defeat and cursed, "You are the one who has no family! If I were your daughter-in-law, with parents-in-law like you, I'd rather divorce and live on my own! With parents-in-law like you, I don't think anyone in this village would dare to marry your son!"

"I know why you treated your daughter-in-law like that. Wasn't it because you disliked her for giving birth to a child during the late rice harvest? Wasn't it because you disliked her for giving birth to a daughter? Pah, you old hag, it's good enough to have a granddaughter, and you want a grandson? Don't you even consider whether you are destined to have one!"

"You called me a daughter of a family with no descendants? Ha! My eldest sister gave birth to three sons! Me, my third sister, and my youngest sister all gave birth to sons!"

Xu Xuanyu puffed out her big belly and said proudly, "This one in my belly is a son! What do you think? Are you envious?"

That huge belly was really an eyesore. In desperation, Hu Lijuan reached out and pushed Xuanyu's belly.

"Hey...don't push..."

Seeing this, the people watching nearby all became anxious. After all, everyone knew that pregnant women should not be pushed.

This scene happened to be seen by Gao Mingcheng. He suddenly ran towards Youyi Yu and at the critical moment, he supported Youyi Yu and prevented her from being pushed to the ground.

But even so, many of the jades were frightened and their faces turned pale.

Zhang Chengyuan was also startled, and quickly ran to Xuanyu and held her tightly.

Gao Mingcheng frowned. He really didn't like to meddle in such trivial matters, especially other people's family affairs.

But Hu Lijuan was in the wrong since she had hit him, so Gao Mingcheng scolded her with a dark face and asked her to apologize to Xuanyu.

Hu Lijuan was also a little scared. When she reached out to push the jade just now, her mind was blank. She didn't think about anything at all and just did it instinctively.

But pushing a pregnant woman is different from pushing someone else. If you push a pregnant woman, it may result in two deaths.

Under Gao Mingcheng's scolding, Hu Lijuan's mouth twitched. She wanted to apologize, but she was a little unwilling.

"Ouch, her water broke! Duoyu's water broke! This is terrible, hurry up and take Duoyu home to give birth! This is her second child, I'm afraid she will have to give birth soon."

An old woman from the same village noticed that Xuanyu's pants were wet and knew that Xuanyu had gone into premature labor due to the shock.

In the past, there was someone in the village who went to work in the fields with a big belly. Suddenly, she was startled by the roar of a buffalo, and her pants got wet on the spot. Finally, she gave birth to a baby in the field.

Most pregnant women in the village give birth at home, and they just call one or two experienced elders for help. If the situation is not good, they go to the health center to call a doctor for help.

Many women do not have parents or in-laws, so they call on experienced people in the village to help and give them a red envelope afterwards. These experienced people are equivalent to midwives, but most of them have not received professional training.

Xuanyue's water broke and her stomach was cramping. She frowned, her face full of pain, and wailed continuously, which scared Zhang Chengyuan immediately.

Zhang Chengyuan didn't care about anything else. He picked up a lot of jade and walked towards his home.

A lot of the jade was quite heavy, but fortunately Zhang Chengyuan was quite strong, and he managed to carry the person home with just a bit of strength.

Gao Mingcheng didn't care about Hu Lijuan anymore and said, "If anything happens to my second sister, you just wait and see!"

Gao Mingcheng has a high prestige in the village. He is good at fighting and has made a name for himself in the surrounding area by fighting. Later, he went to the county to do business and made a lot of money. He also contracted Xiaofushan and became a rich man known to everyone.

Most of these people admire the strong.

After Gao Mingcheng left, other onlookers also left. Only a few experienced old women hurried to the Yu family to help with the delivery.

After everyone dispersed, Gao Huoyi's family looked at each other in bewilderment.

His eldest daughter-in-law was sitting on the ground with disheveled hair, her head lowered, thinking about something.

Even the daughter-in-law who had benefited from this move had her eyes moving around.

The family was already poor, and the mother-in-law pushed the baby away, causing it to give birth prematurely. I'm afraid we'll have to pay a large sum of money afterwards.

What if many jades were killed and two lives were lost...

Thinking of this, the daughter-in-law's face turned pale. She felt that her husband's family was really terrible!

At first, she was very happy to receive the brown sugar and red dates from her mother-in-law, but later she found out that they were from her eldest sister-in-law. Also, she didn't get to eat a single bite of the eggs and pig's feet, as they were all eaten by her father-in-law!

The daughter-in-law felt that if she continued to stay here, she wouldn't even be able to eat meat!

Not only the daughter-in-law thought so, but other people in the village also thought so.

Originally, they all knew that Gao Huoyi liked to drink and eat good food, but they didn’t take it seriously. After all, who doesn’t like to drink and eat good food?

It was only after what happened today that they realized that Gao Huoyi, a man, actually snatched food from his daughter-in-law during her confinement period!

What's more, the food was given by my daughter-in-law's mother!

It won’t sound good if this is told to others!

At this time, Gao Mingcheng was standing in the yard of Zhang Chengyuan's house. Listening to the wailing of many jades coming from inside, he fell into deep thought.

He remembered that in his previous life, Xuanyu's second child was born smoothly!

And the time is not today, but a few days later.

How did it change? Didn't Duoyu go to Hu Lijuan's house to join in the fun and read gossip in his previous life?

Gao Mingcheng was a grown man who didn't know medicine, so he naturally couldn't go into the house. Hearing the wailing of Yu, he couldn't leave immediately, so he asked in the yard: "Aunt Liu, how is my second sister?"

Just now, Aunt Liu from next door also came into the room to help. It was Aunt Liu who helped deliver Xuanyue's first baby.

Aunt Liu said in the house: "The situation is not bad, you should quickly boil some hot water and cook some brown sugar eggs for Duoyu."

First, fry the eggs into poached eggs, then add water and brown sugar and bring to a boil, and then you can serve it to the woman in labor. People here believe that eating brown sugar eggs will give the woman in labor the strength to give birth.

Those with average conditions usually beat two eggs, while those with better conditions may beat six or eight eggs.

Zhang Chengyuan couldn't go into the house to help, but he had experience and had gone to the kitchen to boil water a long time ago.

Because the due date was in these few days, the family had almost prepared everything needed for the birth of the baby. Although the baby was born a few days earlier, Zhang Chengyuan was not too busy.

Gao Mingcheng also entered the kitchen and said to Zhang Chengyuan, "Brother, I'll light the fire, you use another small pot to cook brown sugar eggs for my second sister!"

"Hey." Zhang Chengyuan responded and started to boil some brown sugar eggs. When they were done, he hurriedly brought them to the room. (End of this chapter)
