"Aunt Zhao is also from a high-class family. However, she can deliver babies and treat minor problems. Everyone in the village respects her. Her life is much better than that old landlord's."
That's true. Medical conditions are poor nowadays, and no one knows when they will find a doctor, especially a doctor who can deliver a baby. With so many people giving birth now, people will not do anything to such doctors even if it is out of their selfish instinct to seek profit and avoid harm.
Besides, Aunt Zhao seems to be a kind person.
Shen Wu was talking about Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao looked at the clean rice and sighed to her husband: "I didn't expect that someone with Lan Lan's temper could give birth to such a son. He is very polite."
"I think they are both polite. You should give them more advice in your daily life." Aunt Zhao's husband said.
Aunt Zhao put the rice away and said, "Do you need me to tell you that?"

Chen Wu and Lu Xuan went back, but unexpectedly met Xu Yin and Lu Ye at the door.
When Lu Ye saw them, he said, "Third brother, Third sister-in-law, are you guys going out to digest your food too?"
Lu Xuan said, "I went to Aunt Zhao's house."
"Midwife's house? What are you doing at Aunt Zhao's house?"
The two brothers chatted.
Xu Yin was also looking at Chen Wu, who shrugged and nodded.
Xu Yin already understood. She frowned slightly and lowered her voice, "If you're already pregnant, then give birth to the baby. We can both take good care of it. When the baby is born, you have to go into the operating room. I'll be responsible for watching outside. If anyone dares to play around or get distracted, I'll deal with them."
Shen Wu secretly pinched Xu Yin's waist: "Isn't it a bit early for you to say this?"
Xu Yin sighed again: "I think you are pregnant a little early."
Chen Wu understood Xu Yin's nervousness and patted her soothingly, "Actually, I'm quite looking forward to it. It would be so nice to have a well-behaved and soft child. I promise not to let her go down the same path I did."
The two spoke in low voices.
After a while, Lu Ye suddenly shouted: "Third sister-in-law is pregnant?"
Lu Xuan kicked him and said, "She's still young, don't make a fuss."
Lu Ye covered his mouth in panic again.
Xu Yin came out because she heard Lu Xuan and Shen Wu coming out, so she lied and walked to the door to digest her food. Now they are back and brought the confirmed news.
He decided not to take a walk and asked Lu Ye to go back.
Everyone goes back to his own house.
As soon as he got back, Lu Xuan poured hot water for Shen Wu to soak her feet: "Aunt Zhao said that pregnancy can easily cause swelling in the legs and feet. You soak your feet and I'll give you a massage."
Chen Wu looked at her slightly bony feet and said, "How can you tell that I'm swollen? Aunt Zhao said that swelling is easy because the pregnancy is advanced."
"I can just make it myself."
Chen Wu was soaking her feet quietly when she discovered that Lu Xuan seemed to be restless tonight. He walked around in circles, and no one knew what he was looking for in the house.
When people are nervous, they want to do something to appear busy.
Chen Wu was helpless: "Third brother, you're making me dizzy."
Lu Xuan then stopped and sat next to Shen Wu. After thinking for a while, he took out the bricks from the kang hole, stretched out his arm to take out the money, and counted it again.
Chen Wu asked, "How many more are there?"
"Including what those hooligans gave me, there's still one hundred and seventy-five dollars and sixty cents left."
The money for building the house plus daily expenses, neither she nor Xu Yin is a money-saving person, if things are cheap and expensive, then she and Xu Yin will choose the expensive one first. Xu Yin's habit is purely due to her good family conditions, while Chen Wu's conditions are not good, so she wants to buy something good when she has some ability, and calls it demystifying something.
So during this period, I "robbed" a lot of money and spent a lot of money. After I found out all the money, this is the only amount of money left in the house. It is a lot of money in the village.
But Chen Wu was bad at spending money, and since she had a child, this money would last two to three years for other people in the village, but only half a year at most for her.
However, Lu Xuan seemed to be under a lot of pressure now. He was busy all day long, so Shen Wu didn't intend to put too much pressure on him. "It's okay. The baby is already much richer than other children. Let's make some more money during this period."
Lu Xuan nodded and put the money back.
"Go wash your hands. Use soap."
As he said this, he sighed, "It would be great if these hooligans could give us money next time. Then I wouldn't mind hiding it in my shoes."
She wouldn't touch it anyway.
The fat man who was far away in the county town was lying on the bed wailing when he suddenly sneezed: "Who the hell is scolding me?"
The doctor frowned as he disinfected: "It's a little inflamed."
"Next time, no matter what you play, don't play with your butt. It will be difficult for you to turn over." When treating the wound, he was afraid that the fat man would fart and kill him.
Scarface didn't care who scolded him anymore. He rubbed his nose and heard the doctor say, "What do you think I am?"
I have never seen such a group of gangsters. They did this to his butt. It would be better to hit him in the face.
Before the doctor could say anything, a group of people came in from outside, led by the blind man again.
Seeing that something was wrong, the doctor bandaged the wound casually and quickly left.

Chen Wu slept all afternoon and couldn't sleep at night. She casually put her legs on Lu Xuan's waist and abdomen. The weather was cold. The two of them had been so separated by the Chu River and Han River before, but now they were really close.
"Third brother, you are going to be a father."
Chen Wu's voice was soft, and Lu Xuan's heart softened when he heard it. He put his big hand on her belly, and repeated what Chen Wu had just said in his mind. Looking at the person in his arms, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He felt a little complicated.
Stroking her long hair, he said, "It's hard for a mother to have too many children. We only want this one child."
Chen Wu: "Then I want to give birth to a girl. I pray that it will be a girl."
Lu Xuan responded softly: "Yeah."
There was a warmth in the room.
The other side.
Lu Ye has not yet gotten over the fact that his third brother also wants to have a child.
"Wife, is my third sister-in-law really pregnant?"
Xu Yin said calmly: "Is there money to be made from deceiving you?"
Lu Ye didn't mean that. "I'm just surprised."
He stared at Xu Yin's belly and said, "Do you think we will have..."
No, she was not like Shen Wu who did not do a good job of safety work, but after knowing Shen Wu for so many years, she also had some understanding of her not-so-good childhood.
Her desire to have a child is nothing more than wanting to raise herself again.
Xu Yin actually didn’t quite understand this mentality, as their growing environments were so different, but Chen Wu was her best friend, so she could try to understand.
Lu Ye asked tentatively: "How about we have a baby?"
"Are you still going to do it?" Xu Yin was a little impatient.
Lu Ye: "Do it, do it."
"Don't play tricks. If you do, we'll go get a divorce certificate."
As she didn't show her pregnancy and didn't touch meat with a strong fishy smell, Chen Wu actually didn't feel the discomfort of pregnancy. She had papers to do, so she rarely went home when she wasn't in class. Of course, she had to be busy with work in front of her colleagues and leaders.
As soon as Shen Wu got pregnant, Lu Xuan felt even more urgent.
