Wei Wenshu and his siblings rushed forward to stop her.
“You are not allowed to come in,” Wei Wenshu said.
Tang Fenglin was not about to give up.
“You must give me this candy today, you ungrateful bunch! My man took you up the mountain to collect herbs to exchange for money in order to save your whole family’s lives, and you don’t appreciate it at all, you can’t even part with a few pieces of candy.”
One wants to enter, several want to stop them.
In the midst of the scuffle, Tang Fenglin lost her footing and fell to the ground, immediately clutching her stomach and crying out in pain.
"Ouch, it hurts, my stomach hurts so much..."
The Wei siblings were stunned. Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, they were all a little at a loss.
At this moment, Chen Xinying had already put down the basket and come out. She squatted down to check and saw that the person looked like she was in pain, with her forehead covered with a fine layer of sweat. She quickly turned to Lu Pingru and Jia Liqin and said, "It looks like she's about to give birth."
"Oh, she's about to give birth? Didn't they say she still had more than two weeks left?"
Jia Liqin was still a virgin and knew nothing, so she panicked at this moment.
Lu Pingru, however, calmed down.
"It's normal to arrive half a month early. Liqin, hurry back to your room and boil some water."
Then he looked at the Wei family members and said, "I'll need your help to carry the person into the shed."
Chen Xinying and Wei Wenshu, along with their siblings, worked together to carry the person inside.
Then Wei Wenqi volunteered, "I'll go to the field and call Uncle Jia and Brother Jia back."
There was a lot of work to be done in the fields during this period. Jia Zhichao and Wei Wenbo were both considered strong laborers, so they were not allowed to go up the mountain to collect herbs and could only work in the fields.
At this moment, none of them had returned from work.
Lu Pingru quickly stopped him, "No need, Wenqi. Giving birth takes time, and besides, the men can't help even if they come back. Let's not delay their work."
Wei Wenqi, who had run out, had no choice but to stop.
Lu Pingru then asked Chen Xinying, "Keep an eye on things for me. I haven't had time to prepare anything at home yet. I'll go find someone to exchange some eggs or something."
“Okay, go ahead,” Chen Xinying said.
Lu Pingru put all the money in his pocket, carried a basket, and went out.
Tang Fenglin was still wailing, "Ouch, it hurts so much, it hurts so much."
"Go out and get me some better meat. I want to eat meat, eat meat, get some meat back."
Lu Pingru, who had just stepped out of the thatched hut, heard her words and a smile appeared on his lips. His voice was neither loud nor soft, "Okay, I'll get you some different meat."
I'll let you have one last good meal!
Gradually, the corners of his mouth widened, but the smile became more like a grimace, his vision slowly blurred, and his lips trembled violently.
"Waaah..."
She covered her mouth tightly, trying not to cry.
My steps quickened and quickened until I reached the back of the mountain.
When she came down from the mountain, the basket was covered with two large leaves, with only a little red showing through the gaps.
I knocked on the gate when I passed by Lu Yuan's house.
"What's up?"
Lu Yuan opened the door again. The people from the cowshed had already come to sell herbs today, so he didn't think this person was here to sell herbs again.
"Comrade Lu, please help me. My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I've come to exchange some eggs and cured meat with you."
As he spoke, he took out all the money from his pocket and stuffed it into the hand.
Lu Yuan looked at the handful of small bills in his hand, counted them, and found it totaled 5.67 yuan. This was probably all the savings this family had accumulated from selling medicine over the past two months.
He put the money away and held out his hand, saying, "Give me the basket, I'll put your things in it."
Lu Pingru tightened his grip on the basket, unable to find an excuse not to give it to her. After hesitating for a moment, he handed the basket over.
"Comrade Lu, I've lined the bottom of the basket with leaves, you don't need to take them out. This way, the eggs won't break easily when you put them in."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly. "Okay, wait a moment."
He carried the basket and walked towards the small hut behind the main room where the grain was stored.
When Wen Moxue came out, she saw him carrying a basket. She looked inside curiously and saw that it contained leaves. She reached out and removed the leaves.
"Hey, safflowers? Why are you putting all these safflowers here?"
Lu Yuan quickly took the leaves from her hand and moved the basket a little further away.
"Don't touch it, this was brought over by the aunt from the Jia family in the cowshed."
"Didn't they just make some money? Why are they here again? Why don't they pick more before coming back?"
Lu Yuan frowned. This person was lying to him. The basket clearly contained red flowers, but he was saying they were leaves.
On second thought, a certain guess came to mind, and I sighed softly.
"She didn't say she wanted to sell it for money, she just said her daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and gave me a handful of small bills to exchange for some eggs and meat." "Oh, they're having a baby too. Our brigade has had a lot of newborns this year," Wen Moxue said with a smile.
Starting with the Yu family, there are at least three or four.
Lu Yuan gently pinched her nose and smiled, "In a few months, with the four of us in our family, there will be even more."
"Hehe..." Wen Moxue touched her big belly and laughed happily.
"I'll go find some of the triplets' old clothes and bring them back to Aunt Jia's house. They'll definitely need them."
Lu Yuan nodded, "Okay, you go find the clothes, I'll go pack the eggs and cured meat for him."
In addition to giving 15 eggs and a small piece of cured meat, they also put two jin of millet and half a jin of brown sugar in the basket.
The triplets didn't have too many clothes, so Wen Moxue returned to her room and entered her spatial dimension to start searching. She found that the old clothes filled several wardrobes.
I found the clothes I wore when I was a newborn, and took four or five pieces and a few old diapers.
When Lu Pingru received the basket, clothes, and diapers, tears welled up in her eyes, and she was about to kneel down and kowtow to the couple.
Lu Yuan quickly helped the person up, saying, "This is a new society now. You can't just kneel down all the time. If you keep doing this, I won't dare to exchange things with you again."
