Chapter 8 Breast Engorgement
Lu Qingqing deliberately dawdled for a while, giving Ning Xiuwen time to arrive.
That guy was also very patient, or perhaps he was too unwilling to accept it and wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin.
Until Lu Qingqing picked up the drumsticks, about to strike the drum to appeal for justice.
Then a loud shout rang out: "Lu Qingqing, stop!"
Ning Xiuwen and Lin Zhuang emerged from the corner together.
Then, the group went to the government office to complete the land deed transfer, and the three mu of land ended up in Lu Yun's name.
They made up the five taels they owed.
Ning Xiuwen had dark circles under his eyes and looked haggard. As he left, he gritted his teeth and said to Lu Qingqing, "Lu Qingqing, you're good, you're strong, you won!"
He lost both his wife and his army, getting nothing in return and only creating a lot of trouble.
Even if Lu Qingqing were to kneel before him with mountains of gold and silver, he would never forgive her!
Lu Qingqing smiled, clutching the silver coins: "I know I'm good, I'm great, I'm the most beautiful girl in the whole village, you're not good enough for me, thank you for the compliment."
Ning Xiuwen's expression broke down.
"I will definitely pass the imperial examinations and become a scholar, then a provincial graduate, and eventually an official, making you regret it!"
He almost made a vow, his eyes bloodshot and drooping slightly from not sleeping all night.
Lu Qingqing kindly reminded him, "The Bodhisattva Wenchang doesn't help resentful men. You look so unlucky. You should smile more in the future!"
Ning Xiuwen was so angry that he trembled all over, and then he turned and left.
Lu Qingqing snorted: You think that's all?
There's also twenty taels of interest, all that he's taken from her over the years. More importantly, he's maliciously trying to get her imprisoned...
Being an official? Being a person is exhausting!
"What kind of person is this! He thinks he's right to covet other people's property? A scholar indeed! He's a dead turtle stewing soup, full of evil intentions!" Lu Yun cursed.
He took the opportunity to continue belittling Ning Xiuwen.
"That kid is very resentful and looks really unlucky. He might even be up to no good."
Lu Qingqing casually replied, "It's nothing to mourn."
What did you say?
"Oh, I say, let's just be careful."
The boy nodded, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
It's still uncertain who will be on guard against whom!
As long as Lu Qingqing doesn't protect that pretty boy, he'll have plenty of opportunities to ambush him!
But now it seems the two really have broken up?
Ning Xiuwen was so angry just now that he almost couldn't stand up.
Two people hurried past me.
One was a tall, upright man dressed in black, while the other was an elderly doctor with gray hair carrying a medicine box.
Lu Qingqing glanced at it and suddenly squatted down.
"...Young Master rarely goes out to relax, but then some ugly woman suddenly appears and tries to steal our Purple Locust Tree. Young Master must have been so angry that he vomited blood that very night..."
The two entered through the side gate of the county government office.
The person who spoke just now was one of the three people Lu Qingqing encountered at the foot of the mountain, and he had even threatened the original owner of the body with a knife.
They really are government officials.
And the "young master" he mentioned should be the one wearing half a mask.
She is ugly.
It made him so angry he vomited blood...
Damn it!
Your whole family are ugly women!
"Lu Qingqing, what are you doing?" Lu Yun asked, puzzled.
"Oh, your shoes are dirty, let me wipe them for you."
Lu Qingqing casually brushed her hand across Lu Yun's cloth shoes twice.
Lu Yun: "!!!"
...
Halfway there, the donkey cart spotted two familiar figures in the distance.
The two appeared to be arguing and pulling at each other.
"They look like Dad and my older brother," Lu Yun muttered.
There are only two of them!
"Father, elder brother! We're back!"
The two who were arguing suddenly separated and ran towards the donkey cart.
Old Man Lu's back seemed even more hunched than yesterday, and he had a bundle hanging on his shoulder.
Lu Feng's eyes were also bloodshot.
"Honey, are you alright?"
"Little sister, are you alright?"
The two spoke at the same time, their eyes filled with worry.
"I'm fine!"
Lu Qingqing was a little anxious, and her tone became stern: "Big brother, why are you out here instead of taking care of sister-in-law? They can't be left alone right now!"
"Go back quickly!" Old Man Lu immediately pushed Lu Feng.
"Father, I'm not going back. You go back. From now on, Xiaowan and the child will be your responsibility, and Second Brother will have to take care of them!" Lu Feng said, then tried to snatch the bundle again.
"Boss, let go!"
"Father, your health isn't good enough, I have to go. I'm healthy, I'll definitely be back in five years!" Lu Feng insisted.
"Dad, Big Brother, what are you doing? Where are you going?" Lu Yun asked, puzzled.
"Second brother, the family will depend on you from now on. I'm going to stay at a stone mine two hundred miles away for five years. Take good care of Dad, your sister-in-law, and my little sister. Little sister..." Lu Feng then looked at Lu Qingqing.
His eyes pleaded, "Don't mess around like this again. If it happens again, I won't be able to help you."
Lu Yun and Lu Qingqing then learned that someone from the town had come to recruit workers for a stone quarry two hundred miles away. They were offered a five-year contract and could receive thirty taels of silver in advance!
So this is the method Dad was talking about!
But as everyone knows, only those who have no other way to make a living go to the stone quarry. Once you sign the contract, you can forget about coming back. You'll be fed like pigs and dogs, used to the point of death, and drained of all your physical strength!
Even if they come back, they'll be crippled and near death!
The money brought back would usually be left to the family, because it was a sacrifice made to give the family a good life.
Lu Qingqing felt another sharp pain in her heart.
She felt sorry for the men in this family.
It's like feeling sorry for a blood relative!
"Father, it's resolved..."
It's her fault; she's used to being alone and didn't tell them.
"Dad, brother, it's alright, the money has been returned!" Lu Yun blurted out, his eyes red.
Old Man Lu and Lu Feng were naturally delighted, their eyes reddening with laughter.
Even more unbelievable was that Lu Qingqing actually broke off her relationship with Ning Xiuwen.
"Father, elder brother, come home quickly. Sister-in-law and the child cannot be left alone."
Lu Qingqing was really worried, especially about her little niece.
"Okay, okay, let's go home, let's go home."
Old Man Lu turned his back and wiped his eyes.
As soon as she got home, Lu Qingqing rushed to see the child.
Lu Feng obeyed; she didn't move the figure-eight bandage she had tied, nor did she change her posture. She only fed the child some water, but the child still showed signs of fever.
"Little... sister, you, don't touch the child." Feng Xiaowan woke up.
Seeing Lu Qingqing playing with the child, she was so frightened that her eyes widened and she struggled to get up.
"Shouldn't we cook? I'll go make it."
"Oh my god, sister-in-law, don't move!"
Lu Qingqing held her down, and then heard her hiss in pain.
"What's wrong?"
"pain……"
Oh no, my milk ducts are blocked!
Lu Qingqing hadn't worked in the obstetrics and gynecology department before, so she had temporarily forgotten about it.
Because the child wasn't allowed to inhale earlier, it had already swelled up in just one day and night.
"Sister-in-law, bear with the pain, I'll help you clear the blockage, otherwise your milk won't come down."
Feng Xiaowan dared not refuse, fearing that Lu Qingqing would beat the child if she got angry.
But putting aside her embarrassment, Shutong was in so much pain that she cried out in pain.
"Little sister, little sister, stop bothering your sister-in-law!" Lu Feng ran in carrying a bowl of something, startled and shouting.
"Don't cause trouble. I'm helping my sister-in-law with her milk. If I don't help her, someone will die."
Go and fetch some hot water.
Mrs. Feng was in so much pain that she was covered in cold sweat, as if she were being reborn, and she looked extremely disheveled.
But this is the pain that pregnant women must endure, and no one can take it for them.
Lu Feng felt extremely distressed. Seeing that Lu Qingqing was indeed helping and not bullying him, he quickly went to fetch more hot water.
Lu Qingqing massaged and unblocked the blockage, then applied a hot towel, and finally, it started to "drip" out.
But it still doesn't work.
"Big brother, take a drag."
"What?"
