However, Ling Qi said that he would take the child away in a few months.
Ling Qi's face lit up with joy.
He kowtowed again, "Thank you, Aunt."
Qiu Yan then thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
They didn't have many people to begin with, and she really didn't want Ling Qi to stay.
Turning around, she saw Jiang Liu leading Qiu Ling'er to see her off.
The two of them held the dried meat that Ye had just made.
Jiang Liu had witnessed the entire scene and thought to herself that this family was pure-hearted and kind.
"Ling Qi, don't worry about protecting Xiao Yan. I'll help take care of the child here."
"Thank you, Second Aunt," Ling Qi said sincerely.
To give birth and not raise one is to be unworthy of being human.
My child, I'm sorry, your father is useless and can't be by your side often.
Then, he glanced into the distance and saw two maids approaching respectfully.
“Aunt, they are my newly purchased maids, responsible for taking care of the two children.”
These two girls were bought at a brokerage shop when he and Qiu Yan passed through Baiyang.
Maids are easy to buy, but Ling Qi can't find a wet nurse for the time being.
That's why he thought of Qiu Yumei and wanted to ask her to help breastfeed his child.
It's all my fault for leaving in such a hurry this time.
Qiu Yumei carefully examined the two maids. They were similar in build, both slender, but with clear eyes.
After she finishes her postpartum confinement, she'll need to take care of the business, and her mother-in-law will also need to go help out at the wonton shop.
She can't even take care of her own children.
That would be excellent, of course.
The two girls stepped forward, nodded to Ling Qi, greeted Qiu Yumei, and then stood respectfully to the side.
"Ling Qi, what's your son's name?" Qiu Yumei asked.
Children always need a name.
"Name..." Ling Qi hadn't really thought about it.
His entire focus was on matters concerning the border.
Remembering that Ling Ba had said earlier that the child was born in the first year of junior high school, he blurted out, "First year of junior high school, Ling Chu Yi."
"First Year of the First Month?" Qiu Yumei chuckled. "That's quite a casual name, but it's catchy, so let's call it Yi Yi."
In the courtyard, Madam Xu heard Ling Qi's words and her expression paused slightly.
This...this job is not easy.
That child is difficult to raise.
Her daughter, Yu Mei, is honest and kind-hearted; she won't refuse anyone.
Holding a sweet cake in her hand, she walked out of the courtyard with a smile. "Xiaoyan, these are the cakes I just made. Take them with you and your cousin to eat on the way."
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandma Xu. We appreciate the gesture, but please keep the flatbread for your own family," Qiu Yan declined.
But Xu was so fond of Qiu Yan that she insisted on pushing all the flatbread in her hand to Qiu Yan.
"You're welcome."
Because of Qiu Yan, her third son is now in charge of the pharmacy's accounts in the prefectural city. Whenever this is mentioned, she, as his mother, feels proud.
Furthermore, her daughter-in-law is a capable manager, and apart from Qiu Yan, which of the village's young women or wives can compare to her Yu Mei?
Ms. Xu was deeply grateful to Qiu Yan.
Because of Qiu Yan, the quality of life of her third son's family has changed, and Yu Mei has even bought a yard in Baiyang.
In the past, Ms. Xu would never have dared to even think about such a thing.
Now, thanks to her third daughter-in-law, she also has a place to live in Baiyang's courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, Sister-in-law Zhao stomped her feet in anger, scoffing, "What a pushover."
Her two daughters were filled with envy.
They felt that their grandmother treated Qiu Yan better than she treated them.
Afterwards, Ling Qi went home, had a meal, and then left.
Even if you're in a hurry, you still need to fill your stomach.
