"Ningxia, what did you bring here?" Yan Zi had never seen this before, and she smelled the aroma in the bowl.
"These are sugar-roasted chestnuts. I fried some for you to try. But since you're still in confinement, just two is enough. Eating too much will cause internal heat."
Ningxia saw that the two children were sleeping soundly and their noises became much quieter.
"There's no such thing as confinement. I feel like I've gotten a lot better. Aunt Jiang has things to do at home, so I can't keep bothering her."
When Yan Zi heard Ning Xia, she thought she was in confinement after childbirth and laughed.
She has rested for half a month, which is a lot of time. Many people with poor conditions have to go back to work in the fields on the same day they give birth.
Ningxia didn't know what to say after hearing what Yan Zi said. In later generations, there were people who had to stay in confinement for a hundred days. She thought she would only have to rest for a month, after all, she was so weak at that time.
But what Yan Zi said was right. There was not much happiness to enjoy at that time. Most people had to go back to work in the fields right after giving birth.
Ningxia saw Yan Zi's satisfied look and stopped saying anything to spoil the fun.
"By the way, Yan Zi, I am also pregnant with twins." Ningxia came today mainly to ask her how she felt when she was pregnant.
Yan Zi also gave birth to twins, and Ningxia felt that their two families were really destined to be together.
"You... Ningxia, you are also having twins?" Yan Zi looked incredulous. How could this be possible?
"Yes, I just found out." Ningxia looked at Yan Zi's surprised eyes and knew that she must think it was too coincidental.
"Ningxia, this is such a coincidence! We are both twins and we are neighbors." Yan Zi hugged Ningxia happily.
Ningxia hugged Yan Zi back, but her belly was too big, and Yan Zi quickly let go for fear that she would feel uncomfortable.
"I just want to ask you what it felt like when you were pregnant." Ningxia thought about how Yan Zi looked very tired every day. She wondered if she would feel more tired as the pregnancy progressed, and how Yan Zi relieved the pain.
"When I was about to give birth, I felt pain all over my body, my bones ached, my stomach felt like it was sinking, and I felt like I couldn't breathe."
Yan Zi recalled that time carefully, but what she remembered most was the figure of her mother-in-law. She felt that the days of her pregnancy were the days she least wanted to recall in her life.
Ningxia saw Yan Zi's face change as she spoke. She didn't know if this topic made Yan Zi think of something unhappy, so she quickly changed the subject.
"I'm here to share this with you. Every pregnancy is different, and I may not experience the symptoms you mentioned."
As soon as Ningxia finished speaking, the two girls burst into tears.
Yan Zi no longer had the mind to think about anything else and hurried over to hug the child. Ningxia looked at her flustered appearance and she seemed to see her future life.
When Ren Jingxiao came back, Ningxia was not at home. He ran to the next door as usual. When he brought her back, Ningxia was still reluctant to leave.
"Big Tiger, don't you know how cute and pretty those two girls are? I almost want to steal them back."
"But they say girls look like their fathers and sons like their mothers. If I'm pregnant with a son, he will definitely look like me."
Ningxia thought of the two girls who had eaten and drunk their fill, and opened their watery eyes, looking like dolls.
She also did not forget to talk to Ren Jingxiao about her son.
When Ren Jingxiao heard Ningxia say that his daughter looked like her father, he thought of himself with two pigtails, and his eyes widened in fear.
"How are those two girls?" Ren Jingxiao didn't dare to think about it and quickly changed the subject. He remembered that when those two girls were just born, he thought they would never grow up.
"It's fine. They've grown a lot and look healthy." Ningxia thought that the risk to the two children was indeed very high.
In later generations, many twins have to be put in incubators when they are born, which makes Ningxia a little worried.
"Did Gao Bowen come to see you today?" Ningxia thought of Gao Bowen's family's prescription.
She thought that no matter whether it was useful or not, as long as it was truly an ancient prescription, it would at least give her some psychological comfort.
"No, he took a leave today. I asked Lu Hai to investigate the matter of Yang Cheng's wife." Ren Jingxiao thought that Gao Bowen might not have thought it through yet.
The two were chatting about Gao Bowen when Gao Bowen came over with his wife. Ren Jingxiao looked at them and motioned them to come in without any surprise.
"Brother Ren, sister-in-law." Gao Bowen and his wife handed over the things they bought with a smile.
They came uninvited, but they are not as rude as others.
"Come in and sit down." Ningxia politely welcomed the person in. They had eaten earlier this time and had already finished dinner.
"Brother Ren, sister-in-law, we came to disturb you this time just to tell you that we have thought it through. We...we still want to drive that man out." Gao Bowen lowered his head after saying this.
Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia understood that he was choosing between his own interests and family affection.
"Sister-in-law, I came here to apologize. I had a bad attitude when I spoke last time." Gao Bowen's wife looked at Ningxia and hurriedly apologized.
Her husband went back and told her that he would need their help in the future, so he said he must let her apologize.
Ningxia almost forgot what they talked about last time. She only remembered her teeth. She smiled at her, but she didn't take it to heart at all.
"Then tell me your plans!" Gao Bowen's attitude towards his father also determines how they treat Yang Cheng's wife.
"We just want to uncover the true identity of that woman and show it to my father so he can see what kind of person he has found."
Gao Bowen thought about how he had asked his wife to follow that woman, and his sister at home had been observing her, but she hadn't noticed anything.
"Okay, we have a deal. I will help you find something to hold against that woman, and then you give us the prescription." Ningxia looked at Gao Bowen and his wife and said.
Both of them nodded. As long as they could find something to hold against her, they didn't believe she would get away with it.
If his father still refuses to change his ways, they will not tolerate it any longer.
"Words are not enough, let's write an agreement!" Ningxia didn't believe anyone's guarantee.
What's more, their relationship is just a cooperation. What if after I help them, they disown me in the end?
When the time comes, everyone will blame everything on them. They will bear the grudges and get all the benefits. Then who can they turn to for justice?
Gao Bowen and his wife were stunned, but when they saw Ningxia take out the pen and paper that had been prepared long ago, they finally took it.
"Is this okay?" Gao Bowen handed the written treaty to Ningxia.
Ningxia saw that it said that as long as they could help the two find something to hold against Qian Yuting, he would give them the ancestral prescription.
Ningxia also added that if Gao Bowen changed his mind, he would have to compensate them 5,000 yuan, and everything afterwards would have nothing to do with them.
When Gao Bowen saw the two sentences Ningxia added, he felt that she was really thoughtful. She didn't want to take any responsibility and was afraid that they would blame them.
Gao Bowen had no choice but to sign his name in the end.
