"you……"
The eldest aunt of the Gu family knew that this matter could no longer be concealed. She also felt that Shu Jiaying really loved Xiaohua. She took Shu Jiaying's hand and said cautiously, "Ugly girl, I know that if I don't tell you the truth, you will definitely keep me awake tonight, but this matter is of great importance. I hope you can keep your mouth shut after listening to it."
Shu Jiaying immediately nodded in agreement.
"Auntie, please rest assured. If this matter really affects Xiaohua, I promise you that I will never tell anyone."
"That's good. I also believe that you are a girl who can control your mouth. If we want to talk about this, we have to start from ten years ago..."

On a stormy night, Zhang Erlang, a villager from Guangming Village, was running in a panic on the village path wearing a straw hat. Although the rain had soaked his whole body and the raindrops blurred his eyes, he didn't care at all.
After running through almost half of the village, he finally stopped in front of the yard of a family surnamed Gu.
Seeing that the dim lights were still on in the house in the yard, Zhang Erlang seemed to see hope in his heart.
Zhang Erdang quickly crossed the bamboo fence surrounding the yard and ran to the front door of the house.
Bang, bang, bang...
Bang bang...
The urgent knocking on the door startled the man in the house.
"Who is it?"
The man's voice was heard from inside the house, followed by the sound of quick footsteps heading towards the door.
Zhang Erlang immediately replied, "Brother Quan, I'm Erlang. I want to look for my sister-in-law. My...my wife is about to give birth. Sister-in-law...I'm begging you, please help me. Come with me to my house and help my wife give birth..."
The male owner of the house, Gu Quan, was a hunter from Guangming Village. When he opened the door, his face was full of confusion.
"Hey, you idiot, why don't you go find a midwife to deliver the baby? What are you doing in my house? I don't know how to do these things."
"No, Brother Quan, I went to the midwife's house, but she wasn't there at all. Her family said she went to Fengyun Town in the afternoon and won't be back until at least tomorrow noon, but my wife Chunhua can't wait any longer..."
"Your wife can't wait, but...but my wife also helped you. She herself has never given birth to a baby, so how can she have any experience in delivering babies?"
"I know, but at this time of year, most people in Guangming Village have closed their doors and turned off the lights to go to bed. I saw that your house still had the lights on, and my sister-in-law and my wife were usually chatting quite happily...
Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, so I beg you, big brother..."
"Let's go!"
While the two men were talking, Gu Quan's wife, Wen Mo, had already put on her straw raincoat and walked out of the house.
Gu Quan pulled Mo with some worry.
"Ma'am, you don't know anything about this. Are you sure you can help?"
"Don't worry, husband. Although I've never delivered a baby before, before I married you, I was the one who handled my sow's difficult labor. Anyway, it's all about giving birth, so I think... I can do it."
"this……"
"Don't say so much. Chunhua is in a critical moment of life and death. I have to go to Erlang's house to help."
"Thank you so much, Auntie. Let's go quickly!"
He made a gesture of invitation. Erlang was afraid that if Mo and Gu Quan continued talking, his wife would get impatient, so he hurried ahead.
Mrs. Mo gave Gu Quan a reassuring look, and she followed closely behind Erlang.
