Before Lin Changshu could even get close, Zhao asked from a distance, "How is it? Can I stay here? Have you found out who's inside?"
Lin Changshu chuckled. "What do you mean? I can just go up and ask him his name. There's no need to ask these questions when he's fleeing from famine. Even if he tells a lie, we won't know!"
But they seemed to be a kind-hearted family, quite generous. They said they would let us stay there, but the owner's wife was pregnant, so they asked us to stay quiet.
Just keep an eye on the kids for a while and don't let them cause trouble on the second floor. Come on, let's go straight to the side door!"
Seeing Rang Jin, Zhao didn't say much. "Don't worry, I understand. I will take good care of the children. Our children are all sensible and won't do anything wrong!"
However, having said that, Zhao still reminded the children several times, making sure they understood before stopping.
In fact, this post station is really not small. The inn in the front is two-story and has more than 20 rooms. There is also a small courtyard in the back, which is the kitchen, stable, and some utility rooms.
This side door is usually used for carriages and is quite spacious. The Lin family only chose the two rooms on the first floor closest to the side door and parked the carriage in the aisle near here.
In this way, they can take care of each other without affecting the nobles inside.
And the most important thing is that these two rooms are really big, with long kangs in them, which can easily accommodate more than ten people. This way they can sleep on the kangs at night, which will be more comfortable.
Zhao was extremely happy. She took her two daughters-in-law to make the bed and asked her sons to collect firewood to prepare a fire and cook.
The two families cooked their own dinner, but Wu Hong came over specially and said, "Aunt, you don't have to cook porridge tonight. My mother-in-law said that we can just make more in the evening."
Zhao turned her head to glance at Sun Rong, who was washing a pot not far away. She felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. Could it be that this person really had changed his personality?
"Okay, I get it. Then we'll just stew that half chicken and send some to you guys, especially you. We'll also send you a bowl of soup later!"
Wu Hong felt a little embarrassed, but thinking about her current situation, she didn't refuse. "Thank you very much, Auntie. I won't be polite with you then."
Zhao smiled and waved her hand without saying anything more.
Everyone in the family was busy, even the children were assigned to help collect firewood and wash dishes. Only Xiao Lingdang was arranged by Zhao to sit at the door and rest.
But she was a little absent-minded now, and kept glancing towards the backyard, where the smell was the strongest.
The kitchen in the backyard was also emitting smoke. The servants of the noble family were cooking. The aroma of food wafted out from time to time, but this time little Lingling didn't feel tempted.
This was her intuition. She always felt that something was going to happen, but she was just a two-year-old baby and her grandmother had specifically warned her not to run around, so she could only watch.
By the time everything was packed, it was already half an hour later than yesterday's dinner time. In order to set off early tomorrow morning, the family hurried to eat and prepare to rest.
Maybe because they were extremely tired, everyone fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the kang. Even Zhao Shi didn't notice anything unusual about Xiao Lingling. As usual, she held her in her arms and patted her back from time to time to coax her to sleep.
As a result, Xiao Lingling was still asleep, but Zhao had already fallen asleep.
Little Bell was extremely distressed. She thought about the smell for a long time but couldn't remember it. Perhaps it was because the memory was too old. Seeing that she really couldn't remember it, she simply closed her eyes and planned to work in the space for a while, maybe she would fall asleep after being tired.
It was a pity that she was so worried about this matter that she even became inefficient at work. The little girl sat down on the edge of the field in a huff.
"What's going on? Could it be that I lost my memory after reincarnation? I seem to have smelled that scent before! It seems like the land god has disliked me?"
Suddenly, Xiao Lingling seemed to remember something and immediately flashed out from the space.
At the same time, a sharp scream rang out, breaking the silence of the long night.
Lin Feng, who was on guard, was so frightened that he stood up immediately. Before he could come to his senses, he heard a rustling sound beside him.
He looked back and saw his little daughter getting dressed and about to jump off the bed. He quickly stepped forward and caught her.
"Baby, are you scared? It's okay, it was the noise upstairs. You probably fell. It's still early, go back to sleep!"
Little Bell was struggling to get down, "Daddy, something happened to the lady upstairs! She's a good person, we have to help her!"
Lin Feng was a little surprised. "How did you know? If the Madam has any problems, she has servants to help her. We have no relatives or friends with her. If we go up there, people will misunderstand us!"
Xiao Lingling paused when she heard this, but the situation was very complicated now. The screams of pain were still coming from upstairs. If she delayed any longer, something bad would happen!
"Daddy, that lady is about to give birth! It's very dangerous! Oh, right! Grandma, grandma can deliver the baby!"
As Xiao Lingling was about to shake Zhao's hand, she heard hurried footsteps outside. It was very chaotic and there must be quite a few people. Judging from the sound, they were heading towards the backyard.
"Hurry, I'll go boil some water, and you go get some clean cotton cloth from the carriage!"
"Sister Qiuhua, what's going on? Madam is only eight months pregnant, how could she suddenly be giving birth? We haven't prepared anything for this!"
"Don't panic! This situation is definitely not right, but there's no other solution right now. Fortunately, we still have Mother Liu to take care of us. Time waits for no one, so hurry up!"
"Oh, okay, I'll get it right away. I hope Mama Liu can help. But Mama Liu used to be in charge of the warehouse and has never been involved in delivering babies. Oh, it's really frustrating."
Lin Feng listened to the conversation between the servants outside, and looked at Xiao Lingdang with a more complicated look, but he did not say much. He stepped forward to help Xiao Lingdang call Zhao up.
Zhao was originally sleeping quite soundly. After all, she was tired after two days and finally had a good sleep. However, she was woken up in the middle of her dream. Her heart tightened, thinking that something had happened.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Lin Feng quickly calmed her down, "Mom, it's okay, don't worry, it's the lady upstairs who seems to be giving birth, and it sounds like it's a premature birth!"
Seeing that what he said was wrong, Xiao Lingling quickly took over the conversation, "No, grandma, it's because that lady took medicine that caused premature birth! And that lady is pregnant with two babies, it's too dangerous! Grandma, don't you know how to deliver babies? Let's go save the lady, she's a good person!"
When Zhao heard this, she instantly became alert and sat up. She didn't even ask Xiao Lingdang how she knew it, but got up and started putting on her outer robe.
"Xiao Lingling, are you sure it's twins? It would be even more dangerous if it were twins!"
Lin Feng looked at his mother's convinced expression and fell silent again.
