"Having a child is something that can't be rushed," Ye Qiuyun added from the side.
She almost lost half her life when she gave birth to her two sons, and thinking about it now still makes her feel a little scared.
It was such a close call. If Xiaoyan and Doctor Zhao hadn't joined forces to save her, she probably would have gone to look for her daughter long ago.
Thinking of her daughter, Ye Qiuyun said goodbye and silently walked out of the Qiu family's courtyard.
Inside the room, Jiang Liu was in excruciating abdominal pain. Her fists were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, but she felt nothing.
In addition to abdominal pain, her lower back was also extremely sore, as if it were about to break at any moment.
Good heavens, this feeling is unbearable.
At this moment, Jiang Liu's lower body was warm; she knew her water had broken long ago.
With contractions coming in waves and pain striking again and again,
Jiang Liu was exhausted and had no strength left.
Yes, she was completely unable to exert any strength and was constantly panting.
At this moment, her entire body was soaked in sweat.
"We can't see the end yet, madam. When the contractions come, please push harder," the midwife's voice kept coming.
However, Jiang Liu really couldn't muster any strength at all.
She felt that it was entirely the child who was exerting effort.
Outside, Qiu Yumei and the others listened to Jiang Liu's painful groans, anxiously anticipating the moment the child would be born.
In their hearts, they all resented Qiu Dafu for leaving without a trace for months.
And it is unknown that outside Lingnan Village,
Qiu Dafu, on horseback, was anxiously galloping home.
He worked tirelessly, greatly shortening the return journey time.
All the way, he kept thinking about...
Is Liu'er in Baiyang or Qingyun now?
In the end, he thought it was very likely that Liu'er had returned to Lingnan Village.
He rode his horse swiftly...
Finally, he arrived at the village entrance.
At the village entrance, an elderly man with white hair was basking in the sun, supported by two younger relatives.
The old man was none other than Old Man Zhao.
The two younger relatives beside her were Zhao Juan and her husband.
With a whoosh, the horse passed by the three of them, kicking up clouds of dust.
Old Zhao waved the dust in front of him: "Just now, it seems like someone passed by here."
His eyes were blurry as he gazed at the dust-filled area.
“There was someone passing by.” Liu Qi struck up a conversation, looking in the direction of the person who had come from, thinking to himself, “Isn’t that the direction of Northern Qi?”
Northern Qi—a term both familiar and unfamiliar.
"It's Uncle Qiu." Zhao Juan looked in the direction of the horse's back. "Uncle Qiu is back? He's finally back!"
This year, everyone in the village is talking about Qiu Dafu's departure.
Although the Qiu family's statements were ambiguous, some of the gossipy women in the village always liked to make wild guesses.
After some speculation, they arrived at a unified answer.
That is, Qiu Dafu was conscripted into the army.
Because of the war this year, their emperor has been recruiting soldiers.
Therefore, conscription is carried out every once in a while.
With a limited number of people to begin with, even frequent conscription is futile.
And so, the practice of conscripting men came about.
Because of this situation, the men in the village no longer dared to go out to work at will.
They stayed in the village, making a living by their own farmland and Qiu Yan's pharmaceutical factory.
It was no secret in Lingnan Village that Qiu Dafu had been gone for more than half a year.
Therefore, after Jiang Liu returned to the village, she didn't like to go out, because she was afraid of hearing people ask about her husband.
"Who is Uncle Qiu?" Old Zhao scratched his head and looked in the direction of the Qiu family.
"Girl, is your second uncle back?" Old Zhao asked Zhao Juan with a gentle smile on his face.
