"Oh dear, baby, don't cry, don't cry. Be a good boy."
As Madam Fu tried to soothe the baby, she was sweating profusely from worry as she listened to the child's cries.
This child is already weak; if he keeps crying like this, he might get hurt.
Fu Qiang was also driven crazy by the crying and asked, "Should I go and ask for some more breast milk?"
The Shen family's house was completely destroyed by fire, including the dairy goats inside, which were burned alive.
So now the two children have absolutely nothing to eat.
Even worse, because the princess was injured, Mr. Cao Yu was also taken away!
"The baby won't drink it."
Fu Niangzi's eyes were red with anxiety, and she said anxiously, "We still have to find a way to buy a goat. I think the baby might only drink goat milk."
I've been drinking goat milk since I was born, so I've come to recognize that taste.
Fu Qiang also wanted to buy it, but unfortunately he couldn't leave the house right now.
"With so many people guarding the area, how are we supposed to get out?"
"Then you should figure something out, stop hanging around me all the time! Just looking at you makes me angry!" Madam Fu snapped at her husband.
He vented all his anger on this person.
Fu Qiang's expression was rather unpleasant, but he took a deep breath and decided not to argue with his wife. Instead, he turned and went outside to see if he could get out.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into Dasheng's family as soon as they stepped out.
"Oh, my sister-in-law is here." Fu Qiang said somewhat awkwardly.
These two women had a falling out, and now...
Dasheng's family said, "I heard that the baby is crying and refusing to nurse? How about we let that pearl go out and see if it can bring back the goat's milk?"
She was genuinely worried about her two children.
Fu Qiang asked in confusion, "Who is Liu Zhu?"
Is there such a person in their village?
"Oh, she was one of the maids who came with the princess that day. When the tiger attacked, the princess pushed her out... She almost died, but my husband saved her. She is very grateful to us now."
When I heard about Zaizai's situation earlier, Liuzhu said she could give it a try.
After all, she used to be a maidservant by the princess's side.
Even if she's now considered a dead person by the princess, those around the princess should still give Liuzhu some face.
Moreover, she wasn't trying to help someone escape or anything; she was just buying a goat.
It shouldn't be a big problem.
"...Maybe it really will work." Fu Qiang was a little excited and immediately turned around and went into the house to discuss it with his wife.
Da Sheng gritted his teeth and followed them inside.
However, he didn't make any eye contact with Madam Fu throughout the entire process.
Madam Fu wasn't the kind of person who couldn't be flexible. The most important thing now was to make sure the baby was full, so she said, "Alright, then take the money and ask Miss Liuzhu to help you buy a goat."
My little one cries so much, her head is spinning right now.
She was genuinely worried that if things continued like this, something might happen to the child, and how would she explain it to Guifen?
"Oh, okay, okay."
Fu Qiang immediately went to get the money.
Madam Fu glanced at Dasheng's wife and asked coolly, "Why do you have time to come out? Did you finish handing over the brewing to those two?"
This outburst was sarcastic and unsettling.
Thinking about their relationship over the years, and now...
Madam Fu felt very uncomfortable, but even more so, she harbored resentment towards the Dasheng family.
How could you treat your friend like that?
Isn't this kicking someone when they're down?
Da Sheng's wife also understood, but she didn't want to argue with Madam Fu. She simply said calmly, "No, those two are maids, but they've never lifted a finger before, so they learn slowly."
She had her head down, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Madam Fu held back for a long time before she managed to refrain from saying anything even more offensive.
"The money is here."
"Alright, I'll go by myself, you don't need to go out."
Da Sheng took the money and turned to leave.
But suddenly, Fu Niangzi's voice rang out.
"We've been sisters for so many years, I hope you won't lose your conscience."
Upon hearing this, Dasheng paused only slightly before turning and leaving without hesitation.
There's nothing more to say now that things have come to this.
That's settled then.
"Why are you saying all this? She was forced into it because of her child."
Fu Qiang somewhat disapproved of his wife.
Judging from Da Shengjia's expression, she was also feeling bad.
Who would do such a thing if the child wasn't being threatened?
"Ha, she's not feeling well? She's doing it for the child? Don't we have children too? It's all just an excuse."
"Then let me ask you, if Qing'er is really expelled from the academy and can no longer participate in the imperial examinations, will you regret it?"
Fu Qiang asked.
Madam Fu retorted righteously, "Impossible! I don't believe there's no fairness in this world, or that she can cover up everything. Even if she really is sent back, it just means that this kind of world isn't worth my son's ten years of hard study to serve!"
She will definitely not regret it!
Not only so that I won't regret it, but also so that my son will never regret it.
“You’re right, our son will definitely agree with and support you,” Fu Qiang said with certainty.
They know perfectly well what kind of son they raised.
Wang Da Niang, who had heard everything clearly outside the door, felt extremely conflicted. She turned back to the west room and looked at A Si, who was still frowning anxiously in her sleep, and felt extremely distressed.
They're all good people.
It wasn't that neither Zai Zai nor A Si refused to drink milk. A Si was unwilling at first, but later, when she was very hungry, she was able to drink a few sips of milk.
Later, I got used to it and even started drinking it.
But the baby kept crying, so to avoid the baby affecting Ah Si, the two children had to be separated.
Seeing that Wang Da Niang was unable to eat because she was worried about her daughter, Fu Niangzi took the initiative to take care of the even more difficult baby so that Wang Da Niang could get some rest.
Aunt Wang had just put A Si to sleep and wanted to help so that Madam Fu could rest for a while, but she didn't expect to hear such words.
She muttered to herself: I'm in a huge debt of gratitude.
However, it is a blessing for the daughter's family to have met such a kind-hearted family.
Otherwise, who knows what might have happened to their Ah Si and Zai Zai.
Looking at A Si's tiny body, Aunt Wang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling extremely distressed.
My dear daughter, I wonder how you are doing now.
A mother always feels more sorry for her own child.
About half an hour later, Dasheng's family arrived with a sheep.
She handed the sheep and the remaining money to Fu Qiang, then turned and left silently.
Fu Qiang also had mixed feelings.
well.
There's nothing we can do about it.
The poor little one finally got to drink goat milk, and drank it even more eagerly, flailing his little hands and feet with all his might.
Seeing her child like this, Madam Fu felt heartbroken and burst into tears: "That damned bastard will get his comeuppance."
"Wife, about Dasheng's family... don't hold a grudge. It was all out of necessity. Your unwillingness to compromise was our choice, and it doesn't mean that others are wrong just because they don't do it."
"……knew."
Madam Fu responded after a long pause, but whether she held a grudge or not, only she herself knew the truth.
