Song Lan'er was instructing Song Daya on needlework when she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.
"Second sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister, my stomach hurts. I'm afraid I'm going to give birth."
Song Daya hurriedly shouted:
"Someone come quickly!"
No, sister, don’t worry, the baby won’t come so soon.
As expected, the pain lasted for a long time and the baby was born in the evening.
They are a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, white and chubby and very cute. Grandpa Li had already named his grandson and granddaughter Li Zhiyan and Li Wanqin.
Li's mother hugged her granddaughter with a smile on her face, and couldn't get enough of looking at her.
"This child is so pretty, just like Lan'er."
Father Li held his grandson in his arms and rocked him gently.
"The grandchildren are all good-looking and look like my daughter-in-law."
Li Mingchen, well, he’s just not like me. My parents are too partial to me.
The child stretching his neck to reach his parents' arms is indeed very cute. He really looks like his wife. I wonder how many boys and girls he will charm when he grows up.
At this time, Song Lan'er was drinking the chicken soup cooked by her mother, and two big chicken legs.
"Eat more and don't worry about home. Things are different now, but we still have enough to eat and drink."
"Yeah, okay, the soup made by mom is still the best."
Her daughter liked it, and her mother, Zhang, was very happy. She brought her soup and food every day, fearing that her daughter would develop any illness during the postpartum period, so she came to take care of her daughter every day.
Song Daya would also come to chat with her to relieve her boredom.
"Thank you for teaching me embroidery, Second Sister. That screen was worth ten taels of silver! Even if I were sold, I wouldn't be worth that much."
"Sister, don't say that about yourself. People are not commodities. Everyone is priceless."
The women here cannot show their faces in public, otherwise they will be pointed at by outsiders. This is still considered good, because some people may have bad intentions towards them.
Therefore, it is every woman's dream to have embroidery skills and do embroidery at home.
Chen Tianbao had just returned from the fields and took Song Daya back with him.
He took out a bright red fruit from his arms and handed it to his wife.
"Look, what is this?"
Song Daya took a bite and smiled sweetly.
"How sweet! Did you go to the mountains?"
"No, I was just outside, not deep in the mountains..."
The couple walked home sweetly, but Li Ming'an brought back an orphan girl who sold herself to bury her father, and she was kneeling in the hall.
"Dad, Mom, I want to take Rumeng as my concubine. Please agree to this."
Mr. Li was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand at him.
"I've been honest all my life, so how could I have given birth to someone like you? You don't have much ability, but you've learned all the tricks of Mr. Rich..."
Li's mother also felt very disappointed and said:
"Son, our Li family is just an ordinary family. You don't want to imitate the officials and take concubines..."
There was a lot of noise over there, and Li Mingchen was telling a story to his wife.
"Grandma Li, what's that noise outside?"
Granny Li's voice rang out from outside.
"Second Young Master, it's the eldest young master who brought back an orphan girl, saying he wants to take her as a concubine. The eldest young mistress is making a scene in the main courtyard."
The couple hurried to the main courtyard.
"Lan'er, you are still in confinement. I'd better go see you and tell you about it when I get back."
"My dear husband, I'm not here to watch a joke. I'm worried about my sister-in-law."
When the couple arrived, Han Susu was fighting with Li Mingan.
"How could you bully me like this? Just because I don't have any family to make decisions for me?"
Li Ming'an knew he was in the wrong, so he let her hit him without fighting back.
Instead, the girl kneeling beside her pushed Han Susu hard.
The voice was sad and sighed:
"Don't hit Brother Li. If you have to hit someone, hit Rumeng. It's all Rumeng's fault..."
The girl is indeed beautiful, with a curvy figure, just the type that Li Mingan likes me.
The two elders of the Li family were almost fainted by this farce.
"Okay, what are you doing?"
As parents, they always feel sorry for their children, so they agreed to let Li Ming'an take a concubine.
Han Susu, an orphan without parents, had no choice but to accept it.
"Are you okay, sister-in-law?"
Han Susu forced herself to force a smile that was uglier than crying.
"I'm fine, sister-in-law, don't worry about me. You haven't finished your confinement yet, go back and rest."
Li Mingchen helped his wife into the yard.
"Don't worry, Lan'er. Sister-in-law won't be wronged."
"Really? Then tell me, what does it take to be considered wronged?"
After being together for so long, Li Mingchen certainly knew that his wife hated polygamous men the most.
He can't control others, but he himself will never become that kind of person.
"I don't care what others think. Anyway, I only love Lan'er in my life. In fact, I don't even bother to look at women."
Song Lan'er finally had a smile on her face.
"Then you'd better remember what you said today."
Li Mingchen, please don't let me down! Otherwise, I'm leaving.
That concubine Meng is really good at dealing with people. After only a few days of marriage, she has already coaxed her mother-in-law, Madam Li, into completely accepting her.
"You are also a poor girl. From now on, take good care of An'er. It would be best if you could give An'er a child as soon as possible."
"But my elder sister hasn't given birth to a legitimate son yet. Wouldn't it be bad if I gave birth to a concubine's son?"
"In our Li family, the concept of distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children is not accepted. Don't worry, if you can really give birth to an eldest son for An'er, our family wealth in the future will be the same."
Rumeng was waiting for these words. She happily served Li Mingan day and night, hoping to get pregnant soon.
When Song Lan'er finished her confinement and saw Han Susu, she was already extremely ill.
