Ever since Li left with those people, Sun has been waiting for the outcome.
Seeing someone come in, she hurriedly went to greet them and asked anxiously, "Fang Da, how is it?"
Fang Da was the one who made the deal with Scarface. He sent Sun Daniu to Qianzhou City to mine coal, as Jiang Jiuniang had requested.
As for Li, she lost her eldest grandson and will definitely get a beating when she gets back. Besides, the men in the Sun family are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong, so they won't dare to cause trouble. Of course, even if they did, they wouldn't get away with it.
"Don't worry, Madam, I've taken care of it."
Fang Da smiled憨厚ly. He was sure he could handle this small matter for the host family. Otherwise, wouldn't he have wasted all these years?
Sun breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Sun Daniu was her grand-nephew. Sending him to work in the coal mine was better than him being idle and causing trouble all day. It would also give Li and the others a warning, killing two birds with one stone.
"Alright, keep a close eye on the Sun family during this time. Report anything in advance so I can be prepared."
Fang Da responded and went to do his own thing.
After Li returned home, she was indeed beaten by her husband for harming her eldest grandson. She said it was arranged by the Lu family, but no one in the family believed her. No matter what she said, none of the men in the family dared to cause trouble for the Lu family. Li knew that the men of the Sun family were all cowards who only knew how to bully her, a woman.
Li had come to Lujia Village several times, but had never been able to see any members of the Lu family. Each time, she was chased and bitten by the village dogs. After this happened several times, Li dared not come anymore.
According to Fang Da and the others, the Sun family's life is becoming increasingly difficult, and the men of the Sun family have sent Li to the city to work as a night soil collector for wealthy families to earn money to support the family.
Several times, Li wanted to cause trouble in the shop, but she always stopped when she was still some distance away and dared not go forward. After several times, Li lost interest and obediently emptied the chamber pot, suffering endless torment.
Fang Da reported the situation of Li's side to Sun Shi every day. Hearing this, Sun Shi was very pleased and said to Fang Da, "Starting from tomorrow, you don't need to keep an eye on the Sun family anymore. They have only themselves to blame and it has nothing to do with me. If they come again in the future, you don't need to ask my opinion. Just drive them away."
So far, Sun has truly let go of Li's matter. Evil people will be punished by evil people. Anyway, she has already severed ties with them, so why should she care how they are doing now?
"yes."
When Jiang Jiuniang found out, she smiled with relief. Now, Ms. Sun was finally free of her worries and could live a more carefree life from now on.
Days passed by, and the people sent by the emperor finally arrived, successfully taking the bandits away and preparing to return to the capital for a major trial. Although Lu Baichuan felt it was somewhat unreliable, he didn't say anything. After all, the necessary interrogations had already been conducted, and confessions had been collected. Even if these people encountered an accident on the way, the matter could still be thoroughly investigated.
The problem is whether the emperor is willing to find out.
Of course, that's not something he should be concerned about. His wife's due date is approaching, so he hasn't been going out much lately and has been staying home to take care of her.
He wasn't by his wife's side when the puppy was born, and if he were to be absent again, his mother would never forgive him. Of course, this would also add another regret to his life.
During this period, Sun was often out, and she and Yu were out early and back late. Jiang Jiuniang thought she was busy with things at the shop, but later she asked Yu and found out that she was looking for a midwife and buying things for the unborn child.
“Mother said that childbirth is like the gates of hell for a woman. Even though you are a doctor yourself, a doctor cannot heal himself. You still need to have a few reliable doctors waiting outside.”
After explaining, Madam Yu took her hand and continued, "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, we will all be with you. Nothing will go wrong."
Jiang Jiuniang was deeply moved, but still said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for coming all this way to keep me company and for taking care of everything for me."
"Look at what you're saying! Aren't we all family? Your problems are our problems, and of course we want the best for you."
Knowing that she was emotionally sensitive and prone to melancholy lately, Mr. Yu spoke to her in a gentler tone than usual.
Jiang Jiuniang went with Yu to find Sun. Sun was looking at a booklet. Jiang Jiuniang leaned over and saw that it contained information about the best midwives in the city, listing the number of women who had given birth and the number of mothers and babies who had been safely delivered by the midwives.
Sun repeatedly compared and checked, determined to find the best for Jiang Jiuniang.
Jiang Jiuniang sat down beside her and said, "Mother, there's no need to find a midwife for me. I'm going to give birth on my own."
Despite being moved, Jiang Jiuniang still stuck to her own ideas.
She couldn't trust any midwife in this era, no matter how skilled they were, because there were too many bacteria. She had to give birth in a sterile room in the space.
She still cares a lot about her health.
After all, only a fool wouldn't use such a condition.
But Madam Sun didn't know she had a spatial ability and thought she was just throwing a tantrum. She immediately reprimanded her with a stern face: "Having a child is a big deal. Don't be unreasonable."
Jiang Jiuniang knew that Madam Sun meant well, so she patiently explained, "I have made all the preparations. I can give birth on my own, and I have my own way of ensuring the safety of both mother and child. Mother, I can't entrust my life to a stranger."
Her expression was serious, unlike her usual carefree and joking manner; she was expressing her attitude very earnestly.
Madam Sun wasn't an unreasonable person. Seeing her like this, she lost the will to lecture her and said, "Tell me your thoughts. If you don't need a midwife, your sister-in-law and I will go help you."
Although they don't understand those things, they are all experienced people, and even if they can't help much, they can keep her company.
Jiang Jiuniang shook her head again and said seriously, "No need, I can manage on my own. Bai Chuan also said he wanted to accompany me before, but I refused."
Not just anyone can enter a sterile room; she wouldn't have made that decision if she wasn't absolutely certain.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Madam Sun said nothing more, put the booklet aside, and deliberately said with a sigh of relief, "That's perfect, it's been a real worry for me!"
Jiang Jiuniang gave her a fawning smile and leaned on her shoulder, saying, "I knew Mother was the best."
Sun snorted coldly, but still said, "You have your own ideas, and we will naturally go along with them, but you have to ensure your own and the child's safety, and don't joke around with your health."
Jiang Jiuniang nodded obediently: "Of course."
Although Sun nodded, she was still worried. For some time afterward, she consulted doctors about childbirth, thinking that even without a midwife, things wouldn't fall into chaos.
After learning a lot of practical knowledge, Sun's attitude gradually stabilized. She thought it would be a piece of cake, but when the morning of Jiang Jiuniang's delivery arrived, she was the most nervous.
