Chapter 132: The Woman in Childbirth
Time flies. These days, Xu Miaomiao has been helping the villagers catch fish and make hairpins.
It's a rare opportunity to nestle in Song Wushao's arms and watch the sunset in the sky.
"Boss, this time you have succeeded, the government should give you a good official position, right?"
Xu Miaomiao spoke tentatively.
The man behind him hummed and turned to look at the woman in his arms. In the past, he wanted to make a name for himself as soon as possible and get out of his current predicament, but now looking at Xu Miaomiao, it would be nice to just live a peaceful life.
"Then we will be separated for some time again this time."
Xu Miaomiao spoke slowly and said that ever since the last kiss at the beach, she and Song Wushao had already understood each other and there was no need for further explanation, as they both understood each other's feelings.
"Come with me to the capital."
The cold voice echoed throughout the entire sea, with a hint of pleading in it.
Although Xu Miaomiao wanted to agree wholeheartedly, the responsibility on her shoulders did not allow her to do so. The pride in her bones also did not allow her to live solely relying on a man in the future, even if that man was Song Wushao.
"Once the department store is open and stable, I will discuss it with Liu Niang and the others and then go to the capital." Xu Miaomiao said.
The hug in his arms became tighter, and Song Wu Shao whispered in Xu Miaomiao's ear in a low voice: "I really want you to be by my side at all times."
The warm breath made Xu Miaomiao shudder all over, and her ears turned red: "My husband, you have your own ideals, so I naturally cannot fall behind. I have to become someone who is capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with you."
Song Wu Shao stared at the woman in his arms, his lips slowly moved closer, the sweet taste spread between his lips...
After working hard for several days and opening up the village's commercial hub, Xu Miaomiao and Song Wushao prepared to leave.
The common people handed the hairpin Xu Miaomiao had taught them to make to her and said, "Madam Xu, we have no way to repay your kindness. I heard that you have a daughter, so please give this hairpin to her on my behalf."
Xu Miaomiao was about to refuse, but under the woman's scorching gaze, she nodded and accepted the hairpin: "Thank you, madam."
"Ms. Xu, this is homemade pickled fish in our village. You can take it and try it whenever you want." A man handed Xu Miaomiao the pickled fish wrapped in oil paper and said to her.
"Thank you very much."
Xu Miaomiao bowed to the person in front of her to express her gratitude. When they saw that she accepted the gift, the people rushed forward and wanted to give her some food.
"Everyone, Miaomiao thanks you for your support, but as long as you can live a good life, it will be the best way to repay Miaomiao."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao put her hand on Song Wushao's fingertips and slowly got into the carriage.
"Sister Xu!"
The wheels turned slowly, and a hoarse voice came from behind. It was the little boy who Xu Miaomiao had once given Osmanthus to. He was crying as he watched Xu Miaomiao leave in the carriage.
Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and Xu Miaomiao could only hold back her tears and wave goodbye.
Although separation is always inevitable, when the day really comes, I still feel a little reluctant.
Song Wu Shao took Xu Miaomiao into his arms and wiped her carefully with a handkerchief. When they reached the junction of the two counties, they would separate.
The wobbly carriage finally stopped. They stayed in the village for quite some time this time. Erbao and Xiaobao hadn't seen Xu Miaomiao for a long time, and they were afraid that she was still crying.
The two looked at each other in silence, neither of them wanted to be the first to say the words of separation.
"Since you're here, why not go home and take a look? Erbao and Xiaobao will definitely miss you."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the man in white in front of her and spoke slowly.
Song Wu Shao raised his fingertips to smooth the strands of hair on her forehead to the back of her head, and said jokingly: "If they are the only ones who want to, I won't go back."
Upon hearing this, Xu Miaomiao's cheeks flushed: "Who said it was only them!"
In a hurry, all the thoughts in her heart were revealed. Seeing her shy look, Song Wu Shao smiled: "The emperor is still waiting for me. Now is not the time to waste time. I will come back to find you when the capital is stable."
"Uh-huh."
Xu Miaomiao smiled and nodded at Song Wushao, but there was still some reluctance in her eyes.
"Well, then I'm leaving."
Xu Miaomiao looked back every three steps, looked at the man who was standing there, and finally took a lingering look at him before preparing to go in.
After getting on the carriage and looking towards Song Wushao's position, the man waiting there smiled at her, waved and said.
Xu Miaomiao traced his lip shape and understood the word "goodbye", then she left with peace of mind.
Perhaps because of the separation, Xu Miaomiao was not in a good mood and was driving the carriage alone in a daze.
"ah--"
A scream sounded in the forest. If she wanted to return to Bai County, she would have to pass through this forest. She had not paid attention to it at first, but now she discovered that there was a house not far away after hearing the scream.
There was smoke rising from the house, obviously someone was living there.
The woman's screams echoed in the woods as Xu Miaomiao drove the carriage slowly past.
I saw a man busy boiling hot water in the kitchen and then bringing the hot water into the house.
"Can I help you?"
Xu Miaomiao asked.
But she was just ignored by men.
I walked straight into the room and found a woman lying on the bed giving birth.
Xu Miaomiao didn't care about anything else and immediately stepped forward to take out things from the space to prepare for her treatment.
The man who was carrying water nearby was stunned when he saw this scene. "Who are you? Who allowed you to come in?"
Xu Miaomiao saluted slightly, looked at the man in front of her and said, "My name is Xu Miaomiao, and I am considered a doctor. Your lady is having a difficult delivery, and I may be able to help."
When the man heard this, he looked at Xu Miaomiao suspiciously, sized her up, and said in disbelief: "We don't have any money to give you."
Xu Miaomiao frowned and took out the silver needle from the space: "Don't worry, I won't charge you."
Hearing this, the man seemed relieved: "Then when will my son be able to come out?"
The man looked at Xu Miaomiao with his hands in his pockets and spoke.
"Please go out first so that I can give acupuncture to this lady." Xu Miaomiao said.
As soon as the words fell, the man immediately shook his head: "No, I have to look after my son."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao was speechless and looked at the man in front of her impatiently: "If you don't get out, you won't be able to protect these two people, and the pregnant woman's life will be in danger!"
After being yelled at by Xu Miaomiao, the man stood up tremblingly and walked out of the house with dissatisfaction.
As he left, he kept muttering, "What a thing! If it weren't for my son, I would definitely kick you out!"
After watching the man leave, Xu Miaomiao finally calmed down and began to heal the woman's wounds.
