Mu Xingzhi was still a "weak and frail" person when he was outside, so Su Guangfu and Yang naturally could not just leave him in the yard - what's more, the guests were guests, and after the Su family served tea and snacks, they all accompanied him with fear and trepidation.
Even the two little guys, Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan, were not very familiar with Mu Xingzhi under the influence of their parents and the people around them. However, in their hearts, the pale and thin young man in front of them was basically equated with an omnipotent god.
Of course, this "stereotype believer" didn't include Su Qingluan. Yang and Su Guangfu both spoke in unusually quiet voices, and the usually taciturn Su Guangfu became more talkative than usual. Although Su Qingluan thought her father wasn't very good at finding conversation topics, thanks to Mu Xingzhi's accommodating nature, both sides enjoyed a pleasant conversation.
Of course, the Su couple would definitely take the opportunity to criticize Su Qingluan, saying that their daughter was too reckless to make Mu Xingzhi run all the way. If Mu Xingzhi had not asked Song Bo to stop him, and Su Guangfu and Yang were unable to defeat Song Bo, who was a martial artist, Su Qingluan would probably have to kowtow to Mu Xingzhi and apologize.
Su Qingluan watched this scene from the side, and couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu between two families arguing over the New Year's red envelopes. Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer, and with a few dry coughs, she suggested, "Since Mr. Mu... Mr. Mu is already here, why not go see if Aunt Guixiang needs any help?"
Upon hearing this, Yang secretly glared at Su Qingluan. She was still not very confident about Sun Guixiang - after all, when she went to check on her in the morning, she found that Sun Guixiang had actually started to move since the early morning.
It was already afternoon and the baby had not been born yet. Although there were women who went into labor for a whole day and a night or even for several days and nights, the longer the labor took, the more dangerous it would be.
As a neighbor and a good friend, Yang Shi didn't want Sun Guixiang to die here. So she informed Mu Xingzhi and headed towards the Li family.
After all, she was just going to inquire about the situation, and Yang came back in about a quarter of an hour. When she lifted the curtain, Su Qingluan looked at her mother's face: she didn't seem relaxed or excited at all.
From this point of view, let alone the end of labor, Su Qingluan even suspected that the baby had not officially started to be delivered, and the end of labor was still a long way off.
As expected, just as Su Qingluan expected, the news from the Li family was always "It's still early, and the child hasn't been born yet."
Yang sighed: "I always feel that Miss Guixiang's voice doesn't seem to be as loud as it was in the morning." This was naturally due to physical exhaustion after a long day of hard work, but Su Qingluan was worried that in this era without painless childbirth, if the mother lost consciousness due to lack of physical strength or continuous and severe pain, would there be more serious secondary hazards.
...For example, stillbirth, or even worse, two deaths.
But she would never dare to speak of such things casually, even for the sake of the legendary metaphysics.
Su Guangfu, who was listening nearby, also had a serious expression on his face. After a moment, he nodded to Mu Xingzhi, then walked over to Yang, pulled her aside, and whispered, "Do you still remember that wild ginseng we planned to give to our eldest daughter as a treasure a few years ago?"
If this had been said before Su Qingluan traveled through time, even though the Su couple knew that the child was taken away by mistake, they would still treat the child as their real daughter.
What's more, they knew that the other party might be of extraordinary background and had a strong compensatory mentality, so they wanted to use the eldest daughter for everything. Therefore, they even gave Su Xuanhe the impression that "parents favored the eldest sister".
As for Su Xueyan, she was still in Yang's belly at that time, so it was normal that she didn't know about this.
When Yang heard her head of the household say this, she remembered that the wild ginseng was part of their family fortune, which they had worked so hard to save. Later, when the family members who had learned about the mistaken baby came looking for them, everyone was so busy that the Su couple completely forgot about the incident.
Even if they occasionally thought of this matter, Yang and Su Guangfu felt that their adopted daughter had now regained her noble status as a member of a wealthy family, and she should not look down on these ginsengs - after all, old mountain ginseng was a rarity in the eyes of ordinary people, but to be fair and objective, judging purely from the quality of the ginseng, it was not really top-notch.
Yang looked at Su Guangfu: "Master, what do you mean?"
Su Guangfu nodded. "It will take at least two or three years for the eldest girl to get married, and having children is even later. Besides, our family has the money to buy ginseng now. But it's different for Guixiang. She's in a difficult time right now!"
Ginseng can be bought again if it's gone, but this ginseng can save your life at a critical moment. If Sun Guixiang doesn't get through this difficult time, then she will have nothing!
Thinking of this, Yang nodded and said, "I'll go look for it. I remember which box I put it in." Then she quickly lifted the curtain and went to the inner room to rummage through the boxes.
A moment later, Yang came out with a yellowed paper package. The package was a little damaged. Su Qingluan could see from the damage that there was a piece of ginseng about the size of a carrot inside.
Although this one looks a bit dry compared to those top-grade ginsengs, it’s better to have one than nothing at this time.
Su Xuanhe naturally knew what it was and asked in surprise, "Mother, why did you take out the ginseng? Isn't this for my sister's wedding?"
He was a child, and although he had attended school for a few months, he was only seven years old after all. He didn't know that his parents didn't originally want to make this matter clear in front of Su Qingluan - after all, this would be like giving away something that should have belonged to her.
After hearing this, both Yang and Su Guangfu paused, especially Yang, who even looked at Su Qingluan with a look of deep apology in her eyes.
Su Qingluan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood why Yang had that expression. She smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, mother. Aunt Guixiang is in trouble, and if we can help, we should. As for the dowry..." Su Qingluan smiled and raised her head, a little arrogant, "With your daughter's abilities, are you afraid that she won't be able to earn a dowry?"
If this were said in normal circumstances, it would actually sound shameless. However, in this context, no one would find fault with Su Qingluan - after all, she took the initiative to give away something that originally belonged to her.
However, Su Qingluan thought differently. In her opinion, this thing was prepared by Yang and Su Guangfu for the original owner and the adopted daughter who was mistakenly adopted by the original owner. In any case, it should not be the turn of an outsider like her to use it. So she had no objection to whoever the two of them wanted to give the ginseng to.
After hearing what Su Qingluan said, Yang nodded with deep emotion: "Well, what you said is true, young lady. I will send the ginseng over right away."
But a moment later she came back with a pale face: "Oh no, sister Guixiang is bleeding!"
