If Ma Xiaorong's family were wealthy, she wouldn't have needed to go to the courtyard house to ask Sha Zhu for help. Furthermore, Ma Xiaorong wasted a day in the wilderness, missing the optimal time for treatment.
It's practically impossible to cure her eyes. Even if she had the chance, Ma Xiaorong didn't have enough money, and in the end, she could only helplessly remain blind.
Not only did Ma Xiaorong go blind, but she also developed leg problems, making walking somewhat difficult. What plunged the Ma family into despair was that Ma Xiaorong broke the Wang family's heirloom.
While antique prices weren't as outrageous as they would be in later years, they were still enough to drive Ma Xiaorong to despair. Unable to pay compensation, Ma Xiaorong resorted to shameless tactics, shifting the blame for her injury onto the Wang family.
The end result was that Ma Xiaorong's other leg was also broken by the Wang family. After breaking Ma Xiaorong's leg, the Wang family had no choice but to let it go.
Because Ma Xiaorong had some connections with the residents of the courtyard house, news of her situation soon reached them.
This gave the people in the courtyard more to talk about, but it was just that—more of a topic. No one really cared whether Ma Xiaorong lived or died; she was just a passerby.
The Ming Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain plate that Ma Xiaorong had damaged appeared in Wei Hua's spatial dimension. Looking at the blue-and-white porcelain plate in front of him, Wei Hua even found something to wrap it up.
These items will certainly qualify as family heirlooms in a few decades. Passing them down might not amount to several small goals, but it would certainly be worth half a small goal.
The Wei family, accustomed to eating wild game, rarely had pork. Changing their diet occasionally was a good thing. Just as the matter of Ma Xiaorong faded from memory, Yu Li finally felt the urge to give birth.
Upon learning that his wife was about to give birth, Sha Zhu immediately took Yu Li to the hospital. Although Sha Zhu's salary had been significantly reduced, he had previously saved a considerable amount of money.
Having a baby isn't expensive, it only costs a few dollars. Given how much Sha Zhu values his wife and child, he didn't even consider that amount of money.
After taking Yu Li to the obstetrics and gynecology department, we quickly completed the admission procedures for her. The three children at home were all entrusted to He Yushui. Even though He Yushui was heavily pregnant, taking care of several children was still no problem for her.
After Sha Zhu finished the hospital admission procedures, he stayed with Yu Li in the ward. Yu Li was already a mother of three, and childbirth was nothing new to her. She sat on the bed, looking around, not at all as nervous as before.
Not only did she not need Sha Zhu's comfort, she would comfort him in return. After staying in bed for two or three hours, Yu Li was wheeled into the obstetrics and gynecology department.
There aren't that many accidents in the world. Most pregnant women have no problems. About half an hour after being taken in, Yu Li and her baby were taken out.
Seeing that Yu Li and her child were safe and sound, Sha Zhu stayed with them at the hospital.
At that moment, Yang Tao, who was in the courtyard, suddenly felt like she was about to give birth. Knowing that his wife was about to give birth, Wei Hua quickly took the children and Yang Tao to the hospital.
Whether by coincidence or not, Wei Hua discovered that his wife and Yu Li had been assigned to the same hospital room.
Wei Hua spotted Sha Zhu and his wife, and Sha Zhu and his wife naturally saw Wei Hua and his entire family.
Since they were all neighbors and friends, Sha Zhu immediately came over to help.
"You should go and complete the hospital admission procedures. I'll look after the two babies for a while. Yu Li has already given birth, and I don't have anything else to do anyway."
"Then I'll trouble you to keep an eye on things for me. I'll go and complete the admission procedures now. I'll be right back after I'm done."
After Wei Hua finished speaking, he left the ward and returned after completing the admission procedures.
Seeing Sha Zhu playing with his child, Wei Hua went over and picked the baby up. Although Yu Li had just given birth, she needed rest. Wei Hua felt bad letting his son and daughter fool around like that.
I brought my son and daughter to Yangtao's side and let them play around the bed. When the two children couldn't stand it anymore, I let them lie down on the bed next to me.
Even though the hospital was very noisy, the two children fell asleep soon after. Meanwhile, Yang Tao was due to give birth. Seeing the doctor preparing to take Yang Tao to the delivery room, Wei Hua had no choice but to ask Sha Zhu to keep an eye on her.
"Brother Zhu, Yang Tao is about to give birth, and I'm a little worried. I need to go to the delivery room to keep watch. Could you keep an eye on the two babies for me?"
"Don't bother with such a small thing. We're friends, after all. I would have done it even if you hadn't asked. You should go and wait outside the delivery room. I felt the same way you did when your sister-in-law was giving birth."
Wei Hua's mind was entirely focused on Yang Tao, so he didn't say much to Sha Zhu and turned to leave the ward. Although he didn't say it aloud, Wei Hua remembered this favor.
Fortunately, Yang Tao was fine, and she gave birth in about half an hour.
Before the nurse even brought the baby out, Wei Hua already knew that Yang Tao had given birth to another mischievous son. Compared to a son, Wei Hua preferred a daughter, because daughters were relatively quieter, unlike his son who was constantly making a fuss from birth.
After taking the child from the nurse, Wei Hua looked at his son for a while before carrying him back into the ward. Seeing Wei Hua walk in carrying the child, the nurse froze and went over to him.
"Hua Zi, did Yang Tao give birth to a boy or a girl?"
"Both Peach and your wife had boys."
"Good boy, your Wei family will be able to bring glory to the family in the future."
Hearing Sha Zhu's words, Wei Hua didn't say anything, because Wei Hua didn't have the bad habits of this era. Or rather, they couldn't be called bad habits, since it was, after all, a long-standing tradition of the Chinese nation.
Sons have their advantages, and daughters have theirs. But most people still hope to have a son, especially if they don't have one.
Wei Hua was also from a rural area in his previous life. In the countryside, everyone hopes to have a son. Because having a son means having a lineage, and if you don't have a son, you'll try every means to have one.
Once a son is gone, no one even visits the grave after death. Wei Hua has witnessed this firsthand. In his past life, there was an old man in Wei Hua's village who had three daughters. After the old man passed away, the three daughters would only occasionally come to visit his grave.
After the three daughters died, weeds slowly grew on the old man's grave. In less than ten years, the grave mound was even leveled, and no one knew that anyone had ever been buried there.
But having a son is different. Even if the son passes away, the grandson will visit the grandfather's grave, and even the great-grandson will continue to pay respects.
Although his daughter is well-behaved, sensible, and caring, she will eventually get married. Once married, she will belong to someone else's family. That's why Sha Zhu said such a thing.
Moreover, in this era, having more siblings is also a sign of strength. With more siblings, no one dares to bully you.
"Your He family has truly flourished. Now that you have three sons, you'd better work hard to build a great family fortune for them."
"Stop making fun of me. With my current situation, how could I possibly manage Xia Nuo's vast business? I'd be lucky to even be able to support them all."
Don't worry! Things will pass.
"Why!"
“What can I do now that it’s already happened? If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have let Yushui write the letter and let that bastard come back. If he hadn’t come back, none of this would have happened.”
Wei Hua didn't know how to advise the He family about this matter. After all, the person who caused the trouble was Sha Zhu's father, and speaking ill of his father in front of Sha Zhu didn't seem like something a good person would do.
Just as Wei Hua was at a loss for words, the doctor wheeled Yang Tao out. Seeing his wife being wheeled out, Wei Hua lost all interest in talking to Sha Zhu.
As someone else's husband as well, Sha Zhu naturally understood Wei Hua's feelings. Seeing Wei Hua go to take care of Yang Tao, Sha Zhu immediately lay down on Yu Li's hospital bed to rest.
Yang Tao picked up the child, looked at him, and then held him in her arms before lying down on the bed to rest. Wei Hua, seeing that there was nothing to do, also followed Sha Zhu's example and lay down on the bed to rest.
The next day at daybreak, Wei Hua whispered a few words in Sha Zhu's ear. Then he left the hospital alone.
After leaving the hospital, Wei Hua returned to the courtyard house. He killed a chicken, cooked a pot of soup, and then prepared several dishes that the children liked. After cooking, he found a large food container, carried the food, and went to the hospital.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, they took out the food, then found two large bowls, filled two bowls with postpartum meals, and handed them to Yu Li and Yang Tao respectively.
